DESCRIPTION
The LT®1055/LT1056 JFET input operational amplifiers
combine precision specifications with high speed per-
formance.
For the first time, 16V/µs slew rate and 6.5MHz gain
bandwidth product are simultaneously achieved with offset
voltage of typically 50µV, 1.2µV/°C drift, bias currents of
40pA at 70°C and 500pA at 125°C.
The 150µV maximum offset voltage specification is the
best available on any JFET input operational amplifier.
The LT1055 and LT1056 are differentiated by their operating
currents. The lower power dissipation LT1055 achieves
lower bias and offset currents and offset voltage. The ad-
ditional power dissipation of the LT1056 permits higher
slew rate, bandwidth and faster settling time with a slight
sacrifice in DC performance.
The voltage-to-frequency converter shown below is one
of the many applications which utilize both the precision
and high speed of the LT1055/LT1056.
For a JFET input op amp with 23V/µs guaranteed slew
rate, refer to the LT1022 data sheet.
