inverting case. The input voltage at the 1M resistor can Photodiode amplifiers usually employ JFET op amps be- swing ±13.5V and the LT1880 will output an inverted, cause of their low bias current; however, when precision divided-by-ten version of the input voltage. The input is required, JFET op amps are generally inadequate due to accuracy is limited by the resistors to 0.2%. Output their relatively high input offset voltage and drift. The referred, this error becomes 2.7mV. The 40μV input offset LT1880 provides a high degree of precision with very low voltage contribution, plus the additional error due to input bias current (I bias current times the ~100k effective source impedance, B = 150pA typical) and is therefore appli- cable to this demanding task. Figure 3 shows an LT1880 contribute only negligibly to error. configured as a transimpedance photodiode amplifier. 1.5V ±1.35V ±13.5V SWINGS OUTPUT CF WELL OUTSIDE SWING SUPPLY RAILS WORST-CASE + OUTPUT OFFSET RF 51.1k ≤196μV AT 25°C LT1880 ≤262μV 0°C TO 70°C ≤323μV –40°C TO 85°C 5V VIN – 1M, 0.1% – PHOTODIODE (SEE TEXT) 100k, 0.1% LT1880 OUT CD + –1.5V 1880 F02 –5V
