LT®1097 achieves a new standard in combining low price and outstanding precision performance.
On all operational amplifier data sheets, the specifications listed on the front page are for highly selected, expensive grades, while the specs for the low cost grades are buried deep in the data sheet.
The LT1097 does not have any selected grades, the outstanding specifications shown in the Features section are for its only grade.
The design effort of the LT1097 concentrated on optimiz- ing the performance of all precision specs—at only 350µA of supply current. Typical values are 10µV offset voltage, 40pA bias and offset currents, 0.2µV/°C and 0.4pA/°C drift. Common mode and power supply rejections, voltage gain are typically in excess of 128dB.
All parameters that are important for precision, low power op amps have been optimized. Consequently, using the LT1097 error budget calculations in most applications is unnecessary.

The LT1097 is pin compatible to and directly replaces such precision op amps as the OP-07, OP-77, AD707, OP-97, OP- 177, LM607 and LT1001 with improved price/performance.
Compatibility includes externally nulling the offset voltage, as all of the above devices are trimmed with a potentiometer between Pin 1 and Pin 8 and the wiper tied to V+.
The simple difference amplifier can be used to illustrate the all-around excellence of the LT1097. The 50k input resistance is selected to be large enough compared to input signal source resistance. Simultaneously, the 50k resistors should not dominate the precision and noise error budget. Assuming perfect matching between the four resistors, the following table summarizes the input
referred performance obtained using the LT1097 and other popular, low cost precision op amps.
Input offset voltage can be adjusted over a ±600µV range with a 10k potentiometer.
The LT1097 is internally compensated for unity gain stability. As shown on the Capacitive Load Handling plot, the LT1097 is stable with any capacitive load. However, the overcompensation capacitor, CS, can be used to re- duce overshoot with heavy capacitive loads, to narrow noise bandwidth or to stabilize circuits with gain in the feedback loop.

1097 G20
The availability of the compensation terminal permits the use of feedforward frequency compensation to enhance slew rate. The voltage follower feedforward scheme bypasses the amplifier’s gain stages and slews at nearly 10V/µs.
The inputs of the LT1097 are protected with back-to-back diodes. In the voltage follower configuration, when the input is driven by a fast, large signal pulse (>1V), the input
protection diodes effectively short the output to the input during slewing, and a current, limited only by the output short circuit protection will flow through the diodes.
The use of a feedback resistor, as shown in the voltage follower feedforward diagram, is recommended because this resistor keeps the current below the short circuit limit, resulting in faster recovery and settling of the output.
