OPA197: Input offset voltage spec. (max.) from 0 to 85 deg.C at Vs = +/-18V

Part Number: OPA197

Hello,

OPA197 datasheet only appears to specify input offset voltage (Vos) at 25deg.C.

Please advise Vos spec. between 0deg.C to 85deg.C as well as at -20deg.C for operation at Vs = +/-18V across the entire common mode voltage range.

Does Vos increase or decrease with temperature?

Regards,

Nitish Agrawal

  • As you may see from the Vos and drift distribution below, Vos may either be positve or negative.

    Most of the datasheet specification limits are set by 4-sigma distribution. Thus, in order to calculate the maximum (4-sigma) input offset voltage, Vos_total, across -20C to 85C temp range and common-mode voltage range, you must add different components of Vos_total: Vos(@25C), drift and CMRR Vos error. And since they are all uncorrelated (may shift in different directions), you must add them as a vector quantities (square-root of squares).

    For Vcm < (V+)-3V

    Max Vos(@25C) = +/-100uV

    Max Vos drift =+/-2.5uV/C so max change in Vos due to drift is (85-25C)*2.5uV/C = +/-150uV

    CMRR=ΔVcm/ΔVos_cm=110dB (3.16uV/V) so ΔVos_cm=9V*3.16uV/V = +/-28.6uV  (max ΔVcm from mid-supply on +/-18V is 9V)

     Therefore, the maximum Vos_total=+/-√(100^2+150^2+28.5^2) = +/-√(33312) = +/-183uV
