The LT
®
1677 features the lowest noise performance avail-
able for a rail-to-rail operational amplifier: 3.2nV/√Hz
wideband noise, 1/f corner frequency of 13Hz and 70nV
peak-to-peak 0.1Hz to 10Hz noise. Low noise is combined
with outstanding precision: 20µV offset voltage and
0.2µV/°C drift, 130dB common mode and power supply
rejection and 7.2MHz gain bandwidth product. The com-
mon mode range exceeds the power supply by 100mV.
The voltage gain of the LT1677 is extremely high, especially
with a single supply: 20 million driving a 1k load.
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 grade have been
spectacularly improved compared to competing rail-to-rail
amplifiers.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of the device may be impaired.
Note 2:
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
±1.4V,
the input current should be limited to 25mA. If the
common mode range exceeds either rail, the input current should be
limited to 10mA.
Note 3:
A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature
below absolute maximum.
Note 4:
The LT1677C and LTC1677I are guaranteed functional over the
Operating Temperature Range of – 40°C to 85°C.
Note 5:
The LT1677C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LT1677C is designed, characterized and expected to
meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C but is not tested or QA
sampled at these temperatures. The LT1677I is guaranteed to meet the
extended temperature limits.
Note 6:
Typical parameters are defined as the 60% yield of parameter
distributions of individual amplifier; i.e., out of 100 LT1677s, typically 60
op amps will be better than the indicated specification.
Note 7:
See the test circuit and frequency response curve for 0.1Hz to
10Hz tester in the Applications Information section of the LT1677 data
sheet.
Note 8:
Noise is 100% tested.
Note 9:
Slew rate is measured in A
V
= – 1; input signal is
±7.5V,
output
measured at
±2.5V.
Note 10:
This parameter is not 100% tested.
