Comparison of Chopper-Stabilized and Precision Bipolar Operational Amplifiers
Technical comparison of chopper-stabilized and precision bipolar op amps, evaluating offset voltage, drift, noise, bandwidth, and supply voltage requirements.
Overview
This design document provides a comparative analysis between CMOS chopper-stabilized and precision bipolar operational amplifiers. It evaluates key performance metrics including input offset voltage, offset drift, and wideband noise. Chopper-stabilized amplifiers generally provide superior DC specifications, such as 5μV maximum offset voltage and 0.05μV/°C drift. Bipolar amplifiers are characterized as better for wideband applications and low-frequency noise performance, specifically from 10Hz to 1kHz. The document highlights the LTC1150 as a chopper-stabilized exception capable of ±15V operation. Performance tables and noise density comparisons are included for a wide range of Linear Technology components.
Use Cases
