DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1007/LT1037 series features the lowest noise
performance available to date for monolithic operational
amplifiers: 2.5nV/√Hz wideband noise (less than the noise of
a 400Ω resistor), 1/f corner frequency of 2Hz and 60nV peak-
to-peak 0.1Hz to 10Hz noise. Low noise is combined with
outstanding precision and speed specifications: 10µV offset
voltage, 0.2µV/°C drift, 130dB common mode and power
supply rejection, and 60MHz gain bandwidth product on the
decompensated LT1037, which is stable for closed-loop
gains of 5 or greater.
The voltage gain of the LT1007/LT1037 is an extremely high
20 million driving a 2kΩ load and 12 million driving a 600Ω
load to
±10V.
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 grades (the LT1007C
and the LT1037C) have been spectacularly improved com-
pared to equivalent grades of competing amplifiers.
The sine wave generator application shown below utilizes the
low noise and low distortion characteristics of the LT1037.

The
q
denotes the specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
For MIL-STD components, please refer to LTC 883C data sheet for test
listing and parameters.
Note 1:
Input Offset Voltage measurements are performed by automatic
test equipment approximately 0.5 seconds after application of power. AM
and AC grades are guaranteed fully warmed up.
Note 2:
Long Term Input Offset Voltage Stability refers to the average
trend line of Offset Voltage vs Time over extended periods after 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 typical performance
curve.
Note 3:
This parameter is tested on a sample basis only.
Note 4:
10Hz noise voltage density is sample tested on every lot. Devices
100% tested at 10Hz are available on request.
Note 5:
See the test circuit and frequency response curve for 0.1Hz to
10Hz tester in the Applications Information section.
Note 6:
See the test circuit for current noise measurement in the
Applications Information section.
Note 7:
This parameter is guaranteed by design and is not tested.
Note 8:
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
±0.7V,
the input current should be limited to 25mA.
Note 9:
The Average Input Offset Drift performance is within the
specifications unnulled or when nulled with a pot having a range of 8kΩ to
20kΩ.
