LT2178/LT2179
17µA Max, Dual and Quad,
Single Supply, Precision Op Amps
DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
2178 is a micropower dual op amp in a surface
mount standard 8-pin configuration, the LT2179 is a
micropower quad op amp offered in a surface mount
14-pin package. Both devices are optimized for single
supply operation at 5V. Specifications are also provided
at
±15V
supply.
The extremely low supply current is combined with true
precision specifications: offset voltage is 30μV and offset
current is 50pA. Both offset parameters have low drift with
temperature. The 1.5pA
P-P
current noise and picoampere
offset current permit the use the megohm level source
resistors without introducing serious errors. Voltage
noise, at 0.9μV
P-P
, is remarkably low considering the low
supply current.
The LT2178/LT2179 can be operated from a single supply
(as low as one lithium-cell or two NiCd batteries). The input
range goes below ground. The all-NPN output stage swings
to within a few millivolts of ground while sinking current.
No power consuming pull down resistors are needed.
For surface mount applications where three times higher
supply current is acceptable, the micropower LT1077
single, LT2078 dual and LT2079 quad are recommended.
The LT1077/LT2078/LT2079 have significantly higher
bandwidth, slew rate, lower voltage noise and better output
drive capability. For applications requiring DIP packages
refer to the LT1178/LT1179.

Typical parameters are defined as the 60% yield of parameter
distributions of individual amplifiers, i.e., out of 100 LT2179s (or 100
LT2178s) typically 240 op amps (or 120) will be better than the indicated
specification.
Note 3:
This parameter is tested on a sample basis only. All noise
parameters are tested with V
S
=
±2.5V,
V
O
= 0V.
Note 4:
This parameter is guaranteed by design and is not tested.
Note 5:
Power supply rejection ratio is measured at the minimum supply
voltage. The op amps actually work at 1.7V supply but with a typical offset
skew of –300μV.
Note 6:
This parameter is not 100% tested.
Note 7:
During testing at –40°C, the 5V power supply turn-on time is less
than 0.5s.
Note 8:
The LT2178C/LT2179C are designed, characterized and expected
to meet the industrial temperature limits, but are not tested at –40°C and
85°C. I-grade parts are guaranteed.
