Integrators with drifts less than 500 mV/sec and analog time delays in excess of one hour can be made using capacitors no larger than 1 mF. The LM208A is identical to the LM108A, except that the LM208A has its performance guaranteed over a b25 C to a 85 C temperature range, instead of b 55 C to a 125 C. The LM308A devices have slightly-relaxed specifications and performances over a 0 C to a 70 C temperature range. Features Y Y Y Y Offset voltage guaranteed less than 0.5 mV Maximum input bias current of 3.0 nA over temperature Offset current less than 400 pA over temperature Supply current of only 300 mA, even in saturation Guaranteed 5 mV/ C drift e Y et The LM108/LM108A series are precision operational amplifiers having specifications about a factor of ten better than FET amplifiers over their operating temperature range. In addition to low input currents, these devices have extremely low offset voltage, making it possible to eliminate offset adjustments, in most cases, and obtain performance approaching chopper stabilized amplifiers. The devices operate with supply voltages from g 2V to g 18V and have sufficient supply rejection to use unregulated supplies. Although the circuit is interchangeable with and uses the same compensation as the LM101A, an alternate compensation scheme can be used to make it particularly insensitive to power supply noise and to make supply bypass capacitors unnecessary. The low current error of the LM108A series makes possible many designs that are not practical with conventional amplifiers. In fact, it operates from 10 MX source resistances, Compensation Circuits Alternate* Frequency Compensation bs ol Standard Compensation Circuit Cf t R1 CO R1 a R2 CO e 30 pF *Improves rejection of power supply noise by a factor of ten.

Worst case drift less than 2.5 mV/sec. e TL/H/7759 - 4 O bs ol et High Speed Amplifier with Low Drift and Low Input Current TL/H/7759 - 5 4 Application Hints Resistors can cause other errors besides gradient generated voltages. If the gain setting resistors do not track with temperature a gain error will result. For example, a gain of 1000 amplifier with a constant 10 mV input will have a 10V output. If the resistors mistrack by 0.5% over the operating temperature range, the error at the output is 50 mV. Referred to input, this is a 50 mV error. All of the gain fixing resistor should be the same material. Testing low drift amplifiers is also difficult. Standard drift testing technique such as heating the device in an oven and having the leads available through a connector, thermoprobe, or the soldering iron methoddo not work. Thermal gradients cause much greater errors than the amplifier drift. Coupling microvolt signal through connectors is especially bad since the temperature difference across the connector can be 50 C or more. The device under test along with the gain setting resistor should be isothermal. e A very low drift amplifier poses some uncommon application and testing problems. Many sources of error can cause the apparent circuit drift to be much higher than would be predicted. Thermocouple effects caused by temperature gradient across dissimilar metals are perhaps the worst offenders. Only a few degrees gradient can cause hundreds of microvolts of error. The two places this shows up, generally, are the package-to-printed circuit board interface and temperature gradients across resistors. Keeping package leads short and the two input leads close together helps greatly. Resistor choice as well as physical placement is important for minimizing thermocouple effects. Carbon, oxide film and some metal film resistors can cause large thermocouple errors. Wirewound resistors of evanohm or manganin are best since they only generate about 2 mV/ C referenced to copper. Of course, keeping the resistor ends at the same temperature is important. Generally, shielding a low drift stage electrically and thermally will yield good results.
