Matching Specifications

In many applications the performance of a system de-

pends on the matching between two op amps, rather than

the individual characteristics of the two devices. The three

op amp instrumentation amplifier configuration shown in

this data sheet is an example. Matching characteristics are

not 100% tested on the LT1126/LT1127.

Some specifications are guaranteed by definition. For

example, 70

µV maximum offset voltage implies that mis-

match cannot be more than 140

µV. 112dB (= 2.5µV/V)

CMRR means that worst case CMRR match is 106dB

(5

µV/V). However, the following table can be used to

estimate the expected matching performance between the

two sides of the LT1126, and between amplifiers A and D,

and between amplifiers B and C of the LT1127.

THE HIGH GAIN AND WIDE BANDWIDTH OF THE LT1126/LT1127 IS USEFUL IN LOW FREQUENCY HIGH CLOSED

LOOP GAIN AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS. A TYPICAL PRECISION OP AMP MAY HAVE AN OPEN LOOP GAIN OF ONE

MILLION WITH 500kHz BANDWIDTH. AS THE GAIN ERROR PLOT SHOWS, THIS DEVICE IS CAPABLE OF 0.1%

AMPLIFYING ACCURACY UP TO 0.3Hz ONLY. EVEN INSTRUMENTATION RANGE SIGNALS CAN VARY AT A FASTER

RATE. THE LT1126/LT1127 “GAIN PRECISION — BANDWIDTH PRODUCT” IS 330 TIMES HIGHER, AS SHOWN.
