The LT
®
1007/LT1037 series features the lowest noise
performance available to date for monolithic operational
amplifiers: 2.5nV/Hz wideband noise (less than the noise of
a 400 resistor), 1/f corner frequency of 2Hz and 60nV peak-
to-peak 0.1Hz to 10Hz noise. Low noise is combined with
outstanding precision and speed specifications: 10µV offset
voltage, 0.2µV/°C drift, 130dB common mode and power
supply rejection, and 60MHz gain bandwidth product on the
decompensated LT1037, which is stable for closed-loop
gains of 5 or greater.
The voltage gain of the LT1007/LT1037 is an extremely high
20 million driving a 2k load and 12 million driving a 600
load to ±10V.
In the design, processing and testing of the device, particular
attention has been paid to the optimization of the entire
distribution of several key parameters. Consequently, the
specifications of even the lowest cost grades (the LT1007C
and the LT1037C) have been spectacularly improved com-
pared to equivalent grades of competing amplifiers.
The sine wave generator application shown below utilizes the
low noise and low distortion characteristics of the LT1037.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
For MIL-STD components, please refer to LTC 883C data sheet for test
listing and parameters.
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: Input Offset Voltage measurements are performed by automatic
test equipment approximately 0.5 seconds after application of power. AM
and AC grades are guaranteed fully warmed up.
Note 3: Long Term Input Offset Voltage Stability refers to the average
trend line of Offset Voltage vs Time over extended periods after the first 30
days of operation. Excluding the initial hour of operation, changes in V
OS
during the first 30 days are typically 2.5µV. Refer to typical performance
curve.
Note 4: This parameter is tested on a sample basis only.
Note 5: 10Hz noise voltage density is sample tested on every lot. Devices
100% tested at 10Hz are available on request.
Note 6: See the test circuit and frequency response curve for 0.1Hz to
10Hz tester in the Applications Information section.
Note 7: See the test circuit for current noise measurement in the
Applications Information section.
Note 8: This parameter is guaranteed by design and is not tested.
Note 9: The inputs are protected by back-to-back diodes. Current limiting
resistors are not used in order to achieve low noise. If differential input
voltage exceeds ±0.7V, the input current should be limited to 25mA.
Note 10: The Average Input Offset Drift performance is within the
specifications unnulled or when nulled with a pot having a range of 8k to
20k.
The denotes the specifications which apply over the temperature range –55°C TA 125°C, VS = ±15V, unless otherwise noted.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
WUUU
General
The LT1007/LT1037 series devices may be inserted
directly into OP-07, OP-27, OP-37 and 5534 sockets with
or without removal of external compensation or nulling
components. In addition, the LT1007/LT1037 may be
fitted to 741 sockets with the removal or modification of
external nulling components.
Offset Voltage Adjustment
The input offset voltage of the LT1007/LT1037 and its drift
with temperature, are permanently trimmed at wafer
testing to a low level. However, if further adjustment of
V
OS
is necessary, the use of a 10k nulling potentiometer
will not degrade drift with temperature. Trimming to a
value other than zero creates a drift of (V
OS
/300)µV/°C,
e.g., if V
OS
is adjusted to 300µV, the change in drift will be
1µV/°C (Figure 1).
The adjustment range with a 10k pot is approximately
±2.5mV. If less adjustment range is needed, the sensitivity
and resolution of the nulling can be improved by using a
smaller pot in conjunction with fixed resistors. The ex-
ample has an approximate null range of ±200µV
(Figure 2).
Offset Voltage and Drift
Thermocouple effects, caused by temperature gradients
across dissimilar metals at the contacts to the input
terminals, can exceed the inherent drift of the amplifier
unless proper care is exercised. Air currents should be
minimized, package leads should be short, the two input
leads should be close together and maintained at the same
temperature.
The circuit shown to measure offset voltage is also used
as the burn-in configuration for the LT1007/LT1037, with
the supply voltages increased to ±20V (Figure 3).

When R
F
100 and the input is driven with a fast, large-
signal pulse (>1V), the output waveform will look as
shown in the pulsed operation diagram (Figure 4).
During the fast feedthrough-like portion of the output, the
input protection diodes effectively short the output to the
input and a current, limited only by the output short-circuit
protection, will be drawn by the signal generator. With
R
F
500, the output is capable of handling the current
requirements (I
L
20mA at 10V) and the amplifier stays
in its active mode and a smooth transition will occur.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
WUUU
As with all operational amplifiers when R
F
> 2k, a pole will
be created with R
F
and the amplifier’s input capacitance,
creating additional phase shift and reducing the phase
margin. A small capacitor (20pF to 50pF) in parallel with R
F
will eliminate this problem.
Noise Testing
The 0.1Hz to 10Hz peak-to-peak noise of the LT1007/
LT1037 is measured in the test circuit shown (Figure 5a).
The frequency response of this noise tester (Figure 5b)
indicates that the 0.1Hz corner is defined by only one zero.
The test time to measure 0.1Hz to 10Hz noise should not
exceed ten seconds, as this time limit acts as an additional
zero to eliminate noise contributions from the frequency
band below 0.1Hz.
Measuring the typical 60nV peak-to-peak noise perfor-
mance of the LT1007/LT1037 requires special test
precautions:
1. The device should be warmed up for at least five
minutes. As the op amp warms up, its offset voltage
changes typically 3µV due to its chip temperature
increasing 10°C to 20°C from the moment the power
supplies are turned on. In the ten-second measurement
interval these temperature-induced effects can easily
exceed tens of nanovolts.
2. For similar reasons, the device must be well shielded
from air currents to eliminate the possibility of thermo-
electric effects in excess of a few nanovolts, which
would invalidate the measurements.
3. Sudden motion in the vicinity of the device can also
“feedthrough” to increase the observed noise.
A noise voltage density test is recommended when mea-
suring noise on a large number of units. A 10Hz noise
voltage density measurement will correlate well with a
0.1Hz to 10Hz peak-to-peak noise reading since both
results are determined by the white noise and the location
of the 1/f corner frequency.
Current noise is measured in the circuit shown in Figure 6
and calculated by the following formula:

The LT1007/LT1037 achieve their low noise, in part, by
operating the input stage at 120µA versus the typical 10µA
of most other op amps. Voltage noise is inversely propor-
tional while current noise is directly proportional to the
square root of the input stage current. Therefore, the
LT1007/LT1037’s current noise will be relatively high. At
low frequencies, the low 1/f current noise corner fre-
quency (120Hz) minimizes current noise to some extent.
In most practical applications, however, current noise will
not limit system performance. This is illustrated in the
Total Noise vs Source Resistance plot in the Typical
Performance Characteristics section, where:
Total Noise = [(voltage noise)
2
+ (current noise • R
S
)
2
+
(resistor noise)

Three regions can be identified as a function of source
resistance:

(ii) 400 R

(iii) R

Clearly the LT1007/LT1037 should not be used in region
(iii), where total system noise is at least six times higher
than the voltage noise of the op amp, i.e., the low voltage
noise specification is completely wasted.

THE LT1007 IS CAPABLE OF PROVIDING EXCITATION CURRENT
DIRECTLY TO BIAS THE 350 BRIDGE AT 5V. WITH ONLY 5V ACROSS
THE BRIDGE (AS OPPOSED TO THE USUAL 10V) TOTAL POWER
DISSIPATION AND BRIDGE WARM-UP DRIFT IS REDUCED. THE BRIDGE
OUTPUT SIGNAL IS HALVED, BUT THE LT1007 CAN AMPLIFY THE
REDUCED SIGNAL ACCURATELY.
