OPERATION AMPLIFIER
General Description
The LM101A is a general purpose operational amplifier which features improved performance
over industry standards such as the LM709. Advanced processing techniques make possible an
order of magnitude reduction in input currents, and a redesign of the biasing circuitry
reduces the temperature drift of input current. Improved specifications include:
- Offset voltage 3 mV maximum over temperature
- Input current 100 nA maximum over temperture
- Offset current 20 nA maximum over temperature
- Offsets guaranteed over entire common mode and supply voltage ranges
- Slew rate of 10V/uS as a summing amplifier
This amplifier offers many features which make its application nearly foolproof: overload
protection on the input and output, no latch-up when the common mode range is exceeded,
and freedom from oscillations and compensation with a single 30 pF capacitor. It has
advantages over internally compensated amplifiers in that the frequency compensation can
be tailored to the particular application. For example, in low frequency circuits it can
be overcompensated for increased stability margin. Or the compensation can be optimized to
give more than a factor of ten improvement in high frequency performance for most
applications.
In addition, the device provides better accuracy and lower noise in high impedance
circuitry. The low input currents also make it particularly well suited for long interval
integrators or timers, sample and hold circuits, and low frequency waveform generators.
Further, replacing circuits where matched transistor pairs buffer the inputs of
conventional IC op amps, it can give lower offset voltage and a drift at a lower cost.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur.
Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not
guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test
conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply
only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade
when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
Note 2: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is
dictated by Tjmax (maximum junction temperature), ThetaJA (package junction to
ambient thermal resistance), and TA (ambient temperature). The maximum allowable
power dissipation at any temperature is Pdmax = (Tjmax - TA)/ThetaJA or the number
given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower.
Note 3: For supply voltages less than +15V, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to
the supply voltage.
Note 4: Continuous short circuit is allowed for case temperatures to 125 C and ambient
temperatures to 75 C for LM101A.
Note 5: Human body model, 100 pF discharged through 1.5K Ohms.
