OP07EP

Linear - Amplifiers - Instrumentation, OP Amps, Buffer Amps

Operational amplifiers (also referred to as op amps) are widely used in electronic circuits and provide a variety of functions required in many systems. An operational amplifier (op amp) is an integrated circuit that takes an incoming signal and amplifies it, usually with the goal of improving the gain and accuracy of the signal reproduction. This makes operational amplifiers useful for a wide range of applications, such as amplifying audio signals, providing voltage gain, providing voltage reference levels, filtering, driving motors and performing analog to digital conversion.

The OP07EP is a dual wide bandwidth operational amplifier. It is a high precision, low power, single supply amplifier with a supply voltage range from 2.7V to 36V. It is capable of operating from -25°C to 85°C and offers low noise, low distortion and high accuracy. The wide bandwidth of the OP07EP makes it ideal for instrumentation and application fields requiring high precision and accuracy.

OP07EP Application Fields

The OP07EP is suitable for use in a variety of different application fields, such as:

• Precision signal conditioning and signal processing.
• Instrumentation amplifiers.
• High speed ADC and DACs.
• High precision and high frequency active filters.
• Low frequency sensor interface.
• Data acquisition.
• Power systems.
• Audio amplifiers.
• Medical instrumentation.

OP07EP Working Principle

The basic operation of an operational amplifier is based on the principle of negative feedback. An op amp is constructed as an amplifier having two input terminals, an output terminal and a feedback loop. The non-inverting input (+) of the op amp is connected to the signal source and the inverting input (-) is provided by a feedback loop which is connected to the output terminal. The operational amplifier amplifies the voltage difference applied between its two inputs, with the inverting input generally used as a reference. The gain of an OP Amp is determined by the ratio of feedback resistor to input resistor.

The OP07EP, being a dual wide bandwidth operational amplifier, is essentially two separate amplifiers sharing a common power supply. It has a high input impedance, high open-loop gain, low input offset and excellent temperature drift. The high gain, combined with the very low offset voltage, and the scientific precision of the OP07EP, makes it suitable for many precision applications such as analog to digital converters or active filters.

The OP07EP can be used in a variety of circuits, such as precision rectifiers, current amplifiers, super-regenerative receivers, phase-locked-loops, Wheatstone bridges, integrators, non-inverting amplifiers, and buffered voltage followers.

The OP07EP has excellent linearity compared to other operational amplifiers in its class. Its high CMRR allows it to reject common-mode signals better than many other op amps, allowing it to be used in applications that would require a more expensive differential amplifier.

The OP07EP is also rated for a much lower quiescent current than other op amps, which makes it a great choice for applications where power is a factor, such as battery powered instruments. In addition, the wide bandwidth permits high speed operation or high frequency operation without any significant degradation.

Conclusion

The OP07EP is an excellent choice for instrumentation applications requiring precision, accuracy and stability. Its wide bandwidth, low noise, low distortion and low power makes it the ideal choice for a variety of different applications. Its linearity, common-mode rejection, and quiescent current make it an excellent choice for precision signal processing and power systems.
