ALD2722E/ALD2722
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ALD2722E/ALD2722 is a dual monolithic rail-to-rail precision CMOS
operational amplifier with integrated user programmable EPAD (Electri-
cally Programmable Analog Device) based offset voltage adjustment. The
ALD2722E/ALD2722 is a dual version of the ALD1722E/ALD1722 opera-
tional amplifier. Each ALD2722E/ALD2722 operational amplifier features
individual, user-programmable offset voltage trimming resulting in signifi-
cantly enhanced total system performance and user flexibility. EPAD
technology is an exclusive ALD design which has been refined for analog
applications where precision voltage trimming is necessary to achieve a
desired performance. It utilizes CMOS FETs as in-circuit elements for
trimming of offset voltage bias characteristics with the aid of a personal
computer under software control. Once programmed, the set parameters
are stored indefinitely. EPAD offers the circuit designer a convenient and
cost-effective trimming solution for achieving the very highest amplifier/
system performance.
The ALD2722E/ALD2722 dual operational amplifier features rail-to-rail
input and output voltage ranges, tolerance to overvoltage input spikes of
300mV beyond supply rails, high capacitive loading up to 4000pF, ex-
tremely low input currents of 0.01pA typical, high open loop voltage gain,
useful bandwidth of 1.5MHz, slew rate of 1.9V/µs, and low typical supply
current of 2mA for both amplifiers.
