CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although WARNING!
the OP777/OP727/OP747 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD ESD SENSITIVE DEVICE
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

BASIC OPERATION
The OP777/OP727/OP747 amplifier uses a precision Bipolar
PNP input stage coupled with a high-voltage CMOS output
stage. This enables this amplifier to feature an input voltage

range which includes the negative supply voltage (often ground-
in single-supply applications) and also swing to within 1 mV of the
output rails. Additionally, the input voltage range extends to within 0V

1 V of the positive supply rail. The epitaxial PNP input structure VIN
provides high breakdown voltage, high gain, and an input bias cur-
rent figure comparable to that obtained with a “Darlington” input
stage amplifier but without the drawbacks (i.e., severe penalties for
input voltage range, offset, drift and noise). The PNP input structure
also greatly lowers the noise and reduces the dc input error terms. TIME – 0.2ms/DIV

The amplifiers are fully specified with a single 5 V supply and, due
to design and process innovations, can also operate with a supply 100k
voltage from 2.7 V up to 30 V. This allows operation from most
split supplies used in current industry practice, with the advantage 100k +3V
of substantially increased input and output voltage ranges over

conventional split-supply amplifiers. The OP777/OP727/OP747

positive supply. However, the amplifier can still operate with input
voltages slightly below VEE. In Figure 2, OP777/OP727/OP747 is
configured as a difference amplifier with a single supply of 2.7 V
and negative dc common-mode voltages applied at the inputs
terminals. A 400 mV p-p input is then applied to the noninverting
input. It can be seen from the graph below that the output does not
show any distortion. Micropower operation is maintained by using
large input and feedback resistors.

OP747, differential voltages equal to the supply voltage will not
cause any problem (see Figure 3). OP777/OP727/OP747 has
built- in 500 Ω internal current limiting resistors, in series with the
inputs, to minimize the chances of damage. It is a good practice to
keep the current flowing into the inputs below 5 mA. In this con-
text it should also be noted that the high breakdown of the input
transistors removes the necessity for clamp diodes between the
inputs of the amplifier, a feature that is mandatory on many preci- TIME – 400

with many application circuits such as precision rectifiers and Figure 4. No Phase Reversal

limitations. The CMOS output stage has excellent (and fairly symmetric) output
drive and with light loads can actually swing to within 1 mV of both

featuring (so-called) rail-to-rail bipolar output stages. OP777/
