RH37C
Precision Operational Amplifier
DESCRIPTIO
ABSOLUTE
AXI U
RATI GS
The RH37C combines very low noise with excellent preci-
sion and high speed specifications. The low 1/f noise
corner frequency of 2.7Hz combined with 3.5nV√Hz 10Hz
noise and low offset voltage make the RH37C an excellent
choice for low frequency military instrumentation applica-
tions. The wafer lots are processed to LTC’s in-house
Class S flow to yield circuits usable in stringent military
applications.
For complete electrical specifications and performance
curves see the OP-27/OP-37 data sheet.

TABLE 1A: ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1:
Input offset voltage measurements are performed by automatic
test equipment approximately 0.5 seconds after application of power.
Note 2:
Long-term input offset voltage stability refers to the average trend
line of offset voltage vs time over 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 the typical performance curves.
Note 3:
Sample tested to an LTPD of 15 on every lot. Contact factory for
100% testing of 10Hz voltage density noise.
Note 4:
Parameter is guaranteed by design, characterization, or correlation
to other tested parameters.
Note 5:
See test circuit and frequency response curve for 0.1Hz to 10Hz
tester on OP-27/OP-37 data sheet.
Note 6:
See test circuit for current noise measurement on OP-27/OP-37
data sheet.
Note 7:
The average input offset drift performance is within the specifica-
tions unnulled or when nulled with a pot having a range 8kΩ to 20kΩ.
Note 8:
The RH37C’s 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.

PDA Test Notes
The PDA is specified as 5% based on failures from group A, subgroup 1,
tests after cooldown as the final electrical test in accordance with method
5004 of MIL-STD-883 Class B. The verified failures of group A, subgroup
1, after burn-in divided by the total number of devices submitted for burn-
in in that lot shall be used to determine the percent for the lot.
Linear Technology Corporation reserves the right to test to tighter limits
than those given.
