LF155/LF156/LF256/LF257/LF355/LF356/LF357 JFET Input Operational Amplifiers General Description These are the first monolithic JFET input operational amplifiers to incorporate well matched, high voltage JFETs on the same chip with standard bipolar transistors (BI-FETTM Technology). These amplifiers feature low input bias and offset currents/low offset voltage and offset voltage drift, coupled with offset adjust which does not degrade drift or common-mode rejection. The devices are also designed for high slew rate, wide bandwidth, extremely fast settling time, low voltage and current noise and a low 1/f noise corner. Features Advantages n Replace expensive hybrid and module FET op amps n Rugged JFETs allow blow-out free handling compared with MOSFET input devices n Excellent for low noise applications using either high or low source impedance -- very low 1/f corner n Offset adjust does not degrade drift or common-mode rejection as in most monolithic amplifiers n New output stage allows use of large capacitive loads (5,000 pF) without stability problems n Internal compensation and large differential input voltage capability Common Features n Low input bias current: 30pA n Low Input Offset Current: 3pA n High input impedance: 1012 n Low input noise current: n High common-mode rejection ratio: n Large dc voltage gain: 106 dB 100 dB Uncommon Features j Extremely LF155/ LF355 LF156/ LF256/ LF356 LF257/ LF357 (AV =5) Units 4 1.5 1.5 s 5 12 50 V/s 2.5 5 20 MHz 20 12 12 fast settling time to 0.01% j Fast slew rate j Wide gain bandwidth Applications n n n n n Logarithmic amplifiers n Photocell amplifiers n Sample and Hold circuits Precision high speed integrators Fast D/A and A/D converters High impedance buffers Wideband, low noise, low drift amplifiers j Low input noise voltage Simplified Schematic 00564601 *3pF in LF357 series.

The maximum available power dissipation at any temperature is PD =(TJMAX-TA)/JA or the 25C PdMAX, whichever is less. Note 2: Unless otherwise specified the absolute maximum negative input voltage is equal to the negative power supply voltage. Note 3: Unless otherwise stated, these test conditions apply: 3 www.national.com LF155/LF156/LF256/LF257/LF355/LF356/LF357 DC Electrical Characteristics LF155/LF156/LF256/LF257/LF355/LF356/LF357 Notes for Electrical Characteristics LF155/156 (Continued) LF256/257 15V VS 20V LF356B 15V VS 20V LF355/6/7 Supply Voltage, VS 15V VS 20V TA -55C TA +125C -25C TA +85C 0C TA +70C 0C TA +70C THIGH +125C +85C +70C +70C VS = 15V and VOS, IB and IOS are measured at VCM = 0. Note 4: The Temperature Coefficient of the adjusted input offset voltage changes only a small amount (0.5V/C typically) for each mV of adjustment from its original unadjusted value. Common-mode rejection and open loop voltage gain are also unaffected by offset adjustment. Note 5: The input bias currents are junction leakage currents which approximately double for every 10C increase in the junction temperature, TJ. Due to limited production test time, the input bias currents measured are correlated to junction temperature. In normal operation the junction temperature rises above the ambient temperature as a result of internal power dissipation, Pd. TJ = TA + JA Pd where JA is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient. Use of a heat sink is recommended if input bias current is to be kept to a minimum. Note 6: Supply Voltage Rejection is measured for both supply magnitudes increasing or decreasing simultaneously, in accordance with common practice. Note 7: Settling time is defined here, for a unity gain inverter connection using 2 k resistors for the LF155/6. It is the time required for the error voltage (the voltage at the inverting input pin on the amplifier) to settle to within 0.01% of its final value from the time a 10V step input is applied to the inverter. For the LF357, AV = -5, the feedback resistor from output to input is 2k and the output step is 10V (See Settling Time Test Circuit). Note 8: Max. Power Dissipation is defined by the package characteristics. Operating the part near the Max. Power Dissipation may cause the part to operate outside guaranteed limits.

These JFETs have large reverse breakdown voltages from gate to source and drain eliminating the need for clamps across the inputs. Therefore large differential input voltages can easily be accommodated without a large increase in input current. The maximum differential input voltage is independent of the supply voltages. However, neither of the input voltages should be allowed to exceed the negative supply as this will cause large currents to flow which can result in a destroyed unit. Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input will force the output to a high state, potentially causing a www.national.com 10 Typical Circuit Connections (Continued) reversal of phase to the output. Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on both inputs will force the amplifier output to a high state. In neither case does a latch occur since raising the input back within the common-mode range again puts the input stage and thus the amplifier in a normal operating mode. Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a single input will not change the phase of the output however, if both inputs exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier will be forced to a high state. These amplifiers will operate with the common-mode input voltage equal to the positive supply. In fact, the common-mode voltage can exceed the positive supply by approximately 100 mV independent of supply voltage and over the full operating temperature range. The positive supply can therefore be used as a reference on an input as, for example, in a supply current monitor and/or limiter. Precautions should be taken to ensure that the power supply for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards in a socket as an unlimited current surge through the resulting forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of the internal conductors and result in a destroyed unit. All of the bias currents in these amplifiers are set by FET current sources. The drain currents for the amplifiers are therefore essentially independent of supply voltage. As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead dress, component placement and supply decoupling in order to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to an input should be placed with the body close to the input to minimize "pickup" and maximize the frequency of the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from the input to ground. A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to AC ground set the frequency of the pole. In many instances the frequency of this pole is much greater than the expected 3dB frequency of the closed loop gain and consequently there is negligible effect on stability margin. However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately six times the expected 3 dB frequency a lead capacitor should be placed from the output to the input of the op amp. The value of the added capacitor should be such that the RC time constant of this capacitor and the resistance it parallels is greater than or equal to the original feedback pole time constant.
