Part Number: OPA828

Hi,

Let me ask you some basic questions about input impedance.

There describes the value in the datasheet 5 page, 1Tohm.

Q1) What is the meaning of "Differential"(ZID) and "common"(ZICM)?

Q2) How do you measure the value?

Thank you for your support.

Best Regards,

Hi Takumi,

"differential" means between the two inputs and "common-mode" means from each input to ground.

Suzuki-san,

The input impedance measurements are dynamic tests made as part of the op amp's parametric characterization. Specific Differential and Common-mode DC input voltage changes are applied to the op amp test circuit and the corresponding input bias current changes are measured. The resistance portion of the input impedance is found from calculating ΔVi/ΔIb. Additionally, when the product is in design the Differential and Common-mode impedances are first determined from high-level simulations to assure that it is in the expected range.

Thanks to Kai for providing the link to Bruce's blog on op amp input impedances.

Regards, Thomas
