Furthermore, the AD745 does not exhibit an output phase reversal. The AD745 also has excellent dc performance with 250 pA maximum input bias current and 0.5 mV maximum offset voltage. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The AD745 is an ultralow noise, high-speed, FET input operational amplifier. It offers both the ultralow voltage noise and high speed generally associated with bipolar input op amps and the very low input currents of FET input devices. Its 20 MHz bandwidth and 12.5 V/s slew rate makes the AD745 an ideal The internal compensation of the AD745 is optimized for higher gains, providing a much higher bandwidth and a faster slew rate. This makes the AD745 especially useful as a preamplifier where low level signals require an amplifier that provides both high amplification and wide bandwidth at these higher gains. The AD745 is available in two performance grades. The AD745J and AD745K are rated over the commercial temperature range of 0C to 70C, and are available in the 16-lead SOIC package. 120 1000 120 100 OP37 AND RESISTOR RSOURCE 100 AD745 AND RESISTOR OR OP37 AND RESISTOR 100 PHASE AD745 AND RESISTOR 10 80 80 60 60 GAIN 40 40 20 20 0 PHASE MARGIN - Degrees EO OPEN-LOOP GAIN - dB INPUT NOISE VOLTAGE - nV/ Hz RSOURCE 0 RESISTOR NOISE ONLY 1 100 1k 10k 100k SOURCE RESISTANCE - 1M 10M -20 100 1k 10k 100k 1M FREQUENCY - Hz 10M -20 100M Figure 1.

D AD745 OP AMP PERFORMANCE JFET VERSUS BIPOLAR The AD745 offers the low input voltage noise of an industry standard bipolar opamp without its inherent input current errors. This is demonstrated in Figure 3, which compares input voltage noise vs. input source resistance of the OP37 and the AD745 opamps. From this figure, it is clear that at high source impedance the low current noise of the AD745 also provides lower total noise. It is also important to note that with the AD745 this noise reduction extends all the way down to low source impedances. The lower dc current errors of the AD745 also reduce errors due to offset and drift at high source impedances (Figure 4). The internal compensation of the AD745 is optimized for higher gains, providing a much higher bandwidth and a faster slew rate. This makes the AD745 especially useful as a preamplifier, where low-level signals require an amplifier that provides both high amplification and wide bandwidth at these higher gains. 1000 INPUT NOISE VOLTAGE - nV/ Hz RSOURCE EO OP37 AND RESISTOR AD745 AND RESISTOR OR OP37 AND RESISTOR = 4kT/R f to compute the Johnson noise of a resistor, expressed as a current, one can see that the current noise of the AD745 is equivalent to that of a 3.45 x 108 source resistance. AD745 AND RESISTOR 10 RESISTOR NOISE ONLY 1 100 1k 10k 100k SOURCE RESISTANCE - 1M 10M Figure 3. Total Input Noise Spectral Density @ 1 kHz vs. Source Resistance 100 INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE - mV Low frequency current noise can be computed from the magnitude of the dc bias current ~ = 2qI f B In and increases below approximately 100 Hz with a 1/f power spectral density. For the AD745 the typical value of current noise is 6.9 fA/Hz at 1 kHz. Using the formula: ~I RSOURCE 100 The 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz noise is typically 0.38 V p-p. The user should pay careful attention to several design details to optimize low frequency noise performance. Random air currents can generate varying thermocouple voltages that appear as low frequency noise. Therefore, sensitive circuitry should be well shielded from air flow. Keeping absolute chip temperature low also reduces low frequency noise in two ways: first, the low frequency noise is strongly dependent on the ambient temperature and increases above 25C. Second, since the gradient of temperature from the IC package to ambient is greater, the noise generated by random air currents, as previously mentioned, will be larger in magnitude. Chip temperature can be reduced both by operation at reduced supply voltages and by the use of a suitable clip-on heat sink, if possible. OP37G n At high frequencies, the current noise of a FET increases proportionately to frequency. This noise is due to the "real" part of the gate input impedance, which decreases with frequency. This noise component usually is not important, since the voltage noise of the amplifier impressed upon its input capacitance is an apparent current noise of approximately the same magnitude. In any FET input amplifier, the current noise of the internal bias circuitry can be coupled externally via the gate-to-source capacitances and appears as input current noise. This noise is totally correlated at the inputs, so source impedance matching will tend to cancel out its effect. Both input resistance and input capacitance should be balanced whenever dealing with source capacitances of less than 300 pF in value. 10 LOW NOISE CHARGE AMPLIFIERS As stated, the AD745 provides both low voltage and low current noise. This combination makes this device particularly suitable in applications requiring very high charge sensitivity, such as capacitive accelerometers and hydrophones. When dealing with a high source capacitance, it is useful to consider the total input charge uncertainty as a measure of system noise. 1.0 AD745 KN 0.1 100 1k 10k 100k SOURCE RESISTANCE - 1M 10M Charge (Q) is related to voltage and current by the simply stated fundamental relationships: Q = CV and I = Figure 4. Input Offset Voltage vs. Source Resistance DESIGNING CIRCUITS FOR LOW NOISE An opamp's input voltage noise performance is typically divided into two regions: flatband and low frequency noise. The AD745 offers excellent performance with respect to both. The figure of 2.9 nV/Hz @ 10 kHz is excellent for a JFET input amplifier. REV. D dQ dt As shown, voltage, current and charge noise can all be directly related. The change in open circuit voltage (V) on a capacitor will equal the combination of the change in charge (Q/C) and the change in capacitance with a built-in charge (Q/C). -7- AD745 Figures 5 and 6 show two ways to buffer and amplify the output of a charge output transducer. Both require the use of an amplifier that has a very high input impedance, such as the AD745. Figure 5 shows a model of a charge amplifier circuit. Here, amplification depends on the principle of conservation of charge at the input of amplifier A1, which requires that the charge on capacitor CS be transferred to capacitor CF, thus yielding an output voltage of Q/CF. The amplifiers input voltage noise will appear at the output amplified by the noise gain (1 + (CS/CF)) of the circuit. -100 DECIBELS REFERENCED TO 1V/ Hz -110 CF R1 TOTAL OUTPUT NOISE -150 -160 -170 -180 -190 NOISE DUE TO RB ALONE -200 NOISE DUE TO IB ALONE 0.1 1 10 100 1k 10k 100k FREQUENCY - Hz Figure 7.

The graph of Figure 8 shows how to select an RB large enough to minimize this resistor's contribution to overall circuit noise. When the equivalent current noise of RB ((4 kT)/R) equals the noise of I B 2qI B , there is diminishing return in making RB larger. R1 CS = R2 CF Figure 5.

Model for A High Z Follower with Gain The second circuit, Figure 6, is simply a high impedance follower with gain. Here the noise gain (1 + (R1/R2)) is the same as the gain from the transducer to the output. Resistor RB, in both circuits, is required as a dc bias current return. 5.2 107 There are three important sources of noise in these circuits. Amplifiers A1 and A2 contribute both voltage and current noise, while resistor RB contributes a current noise of: ~ N = 4k 5.2 108 5.2 106 1pA 10pA 100pA 1nA INPUT BIAS CURRENT 10nA Figure 8. Graph of Resistance vs. Input Bias Current Where the Equivalent Noise 4 kT/R, Equals the Noise of the Bias Current I B 2qI B T f RB ( where: ) To maximize dc performance over temperature, the source resistances should be balanced on each input of the amplifier. This is represented by the optional resistor RB in Figures 5 and 6. As previously mentioned, for best noise performance care should be taken to also balance the source capacitance designated by CB The value for CB in Figure 5 would be equal to CS in Figure 6. At values of CB over 300 pF, there is a diminishing impact on noise; capacitor CB can then be simply a large mylar bypass capacitor of 0.01 F or greater. k = Boltzman's Constant = 1.381 x 10-23 Joules/Kelvin T = Absolute Temperature, Kelvin (0C = 273.2 Kelvin) f = Bandwidth - in Hz (Assuming an Ideal "Brick Wall" Filter) This must be root-sum-squared with the amplifier's own current noise. Figure 5 shows that these two circuits have an identical frequency response and the same noise performance (provided that CS/CF = R1/ R2). One feature of the first circuit is that a "T" network is used to increase the effective resistance of RB and improve the low frequency cutoff point by the same factor. -8- REV.

Device Thermal Model B (DIE MOUNT TO CASE) TA A + B = JC CASE Figure 12. Breakdown of Various Package Thermal Resistance REDUCED POWER SUPPLY OPERATION FOR LOWER IB Reduced power supply operation lowers IB in two ways: first, by lowering both the total power dissipation and, second, by reducing the basic gate-to-junction leakage (Figure 11). Figure 13 shows a 40 dB gain piezoelectric transducer amplifier, which operates without an ac coupling capacitor, over the -40C to +85C temperature range. If the optional coupling capacitor, C1, is used, this circuit will operate over the entire -55C to +125C temperature range. 100 From this model TJ = TA+JA PIN. Therefore, IB can be determined in a particular application by using Figure 9 together with the published data for JA and power dissipation. The user can modify JA by use of an appropriate clip-on heat sink such as the Aavid #5801. Figure 11 shows bias current versus supply voltage with JA as the third variable. This graph can be used to predict bias current after JA has been computed. Again bias current will double for every 10C. 10k C1* 108** TRANSDUCER CT 108 CT** +5V AD745 -5V *OPTIONAL DC BLOCKING CAPACITOR **OPTIONAL, SEE TEXT Figure 13. A Piezoelectric Transducer REV. D -9- AD745 TWO HIGH PERFORMANCE ACCELEROMETER AMPLIFIERS Two of the most popular charge-out transducers are hydrophones and accelerometers. Precision accelerometers are typically calibrated for a charge output (pC/g).* Figures 14 and 15 show two ways in which to configure the AD745 as a low noise charge amplifier for use with a wide variety of piezoelectric accelerometers. The input sensitivity of these circuits will be determined by the value of capacitor C1 and is equal to: V OUT = QOUT C1 The ratio of capacitor C1 to the internal capacitance (CT) of the transducer determines the noise gain of this circuit (1 + CT/C1). The amplifiers voltage noise will appear at its output amplified by this amount. The low frequency bandwidth of these circuits will be dependent on the value of resistor R1. If a "T" network is used, the effective value is: R1 (1 + R2/R3). *pC = Picocoulombs g = Earth's Gravitational Constant low frequency performance, the time constant of the servo loop (R4C2 = R5C3) should be: R2 C1 Time Constant 10 R1 1+ R3 A LOW NOISE HYDROPHONE AMPLIFIER Hydrophones are usually calibrated in the voltage-out mode. The circuit of Figures 16 can be used to amplify the output of a typical hydrophone. If the optional ac coupling capacitor CC is used, the circuit will have a low frequency cutoff determined by an RC time constant equal to: 1 Time Constant 10 R1 2 x CC x 100 where the dc gain is 1 and the gain above the low frequency cutoff (1/(2 CC(100 ))) is equal to (1 + R2/R3). The circuit of Figure 17 uses a dc servo loop to keep the dc output at 0 V and to maintain full dynamic range for IB's up to 100 nA. The time constant of R7 and C1 should be larger than that of R1 and CT for a smooth low frequency response.

D AD745 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR I-TO-V CONVERTERS 1F + There are some simple rules of thumb when designing an I-V converter where there is significant source capacitance (as with a photodiode) and bandwidth needs to be optimized. Consider the circuit of Figure 18. The high frequency noise gain (1 + CS/CL) is usually greater than five, so the AD745, with its higher slew rate and bandwidth is ideally suited to this application. +12V 0.01F -12V RB CS 3 +12V DIGITAL INPUTS 15 AD1862 +12V 20-BIT D/A CONVERTER 14 4 13 5 12 6 11 10F + ANALOG COMMON -12V CL 0.1F 10 8 TOP VIEW 0.01F 0.1F AD745 3k 7 RF IS 2 0.01F Here both the low current and low voltage noise of the AD745 can be taken advantage of, since it is desirable in some instances to have a large RF (which increases sensitivity to input current noise) and, at the same time, operate the amplifier at high noise gain.

A High Performance Audio DAC Circuit An important feature of this circuit is that high frequency energy, such as clock feedthrough, is shunted to common via a high quality capacitor and not the output stage of the amplifier, greatly reducing the error signal at the input of the amplifier and subsequent opportunities for intermodulation distortions. Figure 18. A Model for an l-to-V Converter In this circuit, the RF CS time constant limits the practical bandwidth over which flat response can be obtained, in fact: 40 fC 2 RF CS RTI NOISE VOLTAGE - nV/ Hz fB where: fB = signal bandwidth fC = gain bandwidth product of the amplifier With CL 1/(2 RF CS) the net response can be adjusted to a provide a two pole system with optimal flatness that has a corner frequency of fB. Capacitor CL adjusts the damping of the circuit's response. Note that bandwidth and sensitivity are directly traded off against each other via the selection of RF. For example, a photodiode with CS = 300 pF and RF = 100 k will have a maximum bandwidth of 360 kHz when capacitor CL 4.5 pF. Conversely, if only a 100 kHz bandwidth were required, then the maximum value of RF would be 360 k and that of capacitor CL still 4.5 pF. In either case, the AD745 provides impedance transformation, the effective transresistance, i.e., the I/V conversion gain, may be augmented with further gain. A wideband low noise amplifier such as the AD829 is recommended in this application. This principle can also be used to apply the AD745 in a high performance audio application. Figure 19 shows that an I-V converter of a high performance DAC, here the AD1862, can be designed to take advantage of the low voltage noise of the AD745 (2.9 nV/Hz) as well as the high slew rate and bandwidth provided by decompensation. This circuit, with component values shown, has a 12 dB/octave rolloff at 728 kHz, with a passband ripple of less than 0.001 dB and a phase deviation of less than 2 degrees @ 20 kHz. REV.

RTI Noise Voltage vs. Input Capacitance BALANCING SOURCE IMPEDANCES As mentioned previously, it is good practice to balance the source impedances (both resistive and reactive) as seen by the inputs of the AD745. Balancing the resistive components will optimize dc performance over temperature because balancing will mitigate the effects of any bias current errors. Balancing input capacitance will minimize ac response errors due to the amplifier's input capacitance and, as shown in Figure 20, noise performance will be optimized.
