Operational Amplifiers (Op Amps)

The operational amplifier (op amp) is an important part of any analog signal chain, often working as a crucial part of the interface between sensors and our world-leading ADCs. Common analog op amp functions include gain, buffering, filtering, and level-shifting. Analog Devices’ portfolio provides the broadest choice of op amps in the industry, delivering unmatched quality, robustness, and performance to enable optimized solutions in automotive, industrial, consumer, and healthcare markets. Explore op amps by parameters and find expert system-level advice on design problems with our reference designs (Circuits from the Lab®), design tools, selection guides, filter design, calculators, and LTSpice®/SPICE models for operational amplifiers.

Analog Devices high speed (> 50 MHz) current feedback op amps enable you to operate at higher speeds. Current feedback op amps traditionally have wider bandwidths and higher slew rates than voltage feedback amplifiers and feature constant bandwidth which is independent of gain. A current feedback op amp responds to an error current at its low-impedance negative input terminal, rather than an error voltage, and produces a corresponding output voltage.

High supply voltage op amps are used in systems that demand the widest dynamic range with the best signal-to-noise ratio. Engineers turn to Analog Devices for high voltage amplifiers that deliver industry-leading performance. Increasingly, new high voltage amplifiers also offer features to improve system performance, cost, and robustness while easing the complexity of system design. New features include integrated input overvoltage protection (OVP), on-chip electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering, higher electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity, and greater resistance to latch-up in both powered and unpowered operations.

Analog Devices JFET input op amps or FastFET™ high speed (>50 MHz) input op amps provide high input impedance and ultralow input bias currents for high speed applications. The majority of our FET input op amps feature wide supply ranges from +5 V to ±12 V or higher and feature rail-to-rail outputs enabling wide dynamic range.

Low input bias current op amps are required whenever the difference of currents or voltage is small and needs to be measured accurately. These op amps are used so that the signal is not loaded down by the input of the op amps. Low input bias current op amps are critical for interfacing sensors in applications from photodiodes, pH meters, or other electrometer related functions to downstream electronics. Analog Devices has many precision op amps that fit the definition and range of these applications.

The latest zero-drift amplifiers from Analog Devices combine both auto-zero and chopping techniques to continuously self-correct for dc errors over time and temperature. This enables the amplifiers to achieve <4 microvolts of input offset error and input drift error of >20 nanovolts per degree Celsius. By design, zero-drift amplifiers have no 1/f voltage noise, nor do they suffer from long-term drift, making them ideal for low speed sensing. By reducing the drift and noise, these products decrease the need for constant system level calibration. Additionally, very small LFCSP packages reduce board space, and on-chip electromagnetic interference filters speed development time by eliminating the need for collaboration circuitry. They accomplish all these features while controlling cost. The new ADA4523-1, LTC2065, and LTC2068 are appropriate for applications requiring current sensing of electronic loads, power supplies, and motor control and offset correction in composite amplifiers used in instrumentation. ADI’s zero-drift amplifier portfolio is an ideal choice for high performance projects and in products that are required to have a long lifecycle.
