Zero-Crossover Op Amp For Battery-Powered, Portable Applications

“The OPA369 utilizes TI’s innovative zero-crossover topology and next-generation CMOS process technology to offer precision performance previously unavailable in 1µA single-supply amplifiers,” said Art George, senior vice president of TI’s high-performance analog business. “Typically, designers are forced to choose between power consumption and the AC or DC performance of their signal conditioning amplifiers. The OPA369 will enable customers to increase the precision in their portable applications without complicating the design or increasing their power budget.”

The single-input stage architecture delivers outstanding offset voltage of 750µV over the entire rail-to-rail input range and a common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of 100dB minimum, thereby maximizing the useable input dynamic range for low supply voltage applications. Other features include low noise of 120nV/rtHz, gain bandwidth of 12kHz on 1µA, low input bias current of 50pA maximum, low voltage offset drift of 1.75µV/°C (max), PSRR of 94dB and low 1/f noise of 3.6µVp-p (0.1 to 10Hz)

The OPA369 offers the precision, low power and small packaging required in a wide variety of applications such as portable medical devices (glucose meters, oxygen metering), portable instrumentation (gas detection/monitoring, handheld test equipment), sensor signal conditioning and portable consumer devices.
