The LT1218/LT1219 are bipolar op amps which combine rail-to-rail input and output operation with precision specifications. Unlike other rail-to-rail amplifiers, the LT1218/LT1219’s input offset voltage is a low 90µV across the entire rail-to-rail input range, not just a portion of it. Using a patented technique, both input stages of the LT1218/LT1219 are trimmed: one at the negative supply and the other at the positive supply. The resulting common mode rejection of 97dB minimum is much better than other rail-to-rail input op amps. A minimum open-loop gain of 500V/mV into a 10k load virtually eliminates all gain error.The LT1218 has conventional compensation which assures stability for capacitive loads of 1000pF or less. The LT1219 has compensation that requires the use of a 0.1µF output capacitor, which improves the amplifier’s supply rejection and reduces output impedance at high frequencies. The output capacitor’s filtering action also reduces high frequency noise, which is beneficial when driving A/D converters.High and low voltage versions of the devices are offered. Operation is specified for 3V, 5V and ±5V supplies for the LT1218L/LT1219L and 3V, 5V and ±15V for the LT1218/LT1219.ApplicationsDriving A/D ConvertersTest Equipment AmplifiersMUX Amplifiers

The LT1222 is a low noise, very high speed operational amplifier with superior DC performance. The LT1222 is stable in a noise gain of 10 or greater without compensation, or the part can be externally compensated for lower closed-loop gain at the expense of lower bandwidth and slew rate. It features reduced input offset voltage, lower input bias currents, lower noise and higher DC gain than devices with comparable bandwidth and slew rate. The circuit is a single gain stage that includes proprietary DC gain enhancement circuitry to obtain precision with high speed. The high gain and fast settling time make the circuit an ideal choice for data acquisition systems. The circuit is also capable of driving capacitive loads which makes it useful in buffer or cable driver applications. The compensation node can also be used to clamp the output swing.The LT1222 is a member of a family of fast, high performance amplifiers that employ our advanced complementary bipolar processing. For unity-gain stable applications the LT1220 can be used, and for gains of 4 or greater the LT1221 can be used.ApplicationsWideband AmplifiersBuffersActive FiltersVideo and RF AmplificationCable Drivers8-, 10-, 12-Bit Data Acquisition Systems
