Description

The ALD1722E/ALD1722 is a monolithic rail-to-rail precision CMOS operational amplifier with integrated user programmable EPAD (Electrically Programmable Analog Device) based offset voltage adjustment. The ALD1722E/ALD1722 is a direct replacement of the ALD1702 operational amplifier, with the added feature of user-programmable offset voltage trimming resulting in significantly 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. ALD1722E/ALD1722  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 within the device even after power-down. EPAD offers the circuit designer a convenient and costeffective trimming solution for achieving the very highest amplifier/system performance.

The ALD1722E/ALD1722 operational amplifier features rail-to-rail input and output voltage ranges, tolerance to over-voltage input spikes of 300mV beyond supply rails, high capacitive loading up to 4000pF, extremely low input currents of 0.01pA typical, high open loop voltage gain, useful bandwidth of 1.5 MHz, slew rate of 2.1 V/ms, and low supply current of 0.8mA.
