3 Description

The LPV821 is a single-channel, nanopower, zero-

drift operational amplifier for “Always ON” sensing

applications in wireless and wired equipment where

low input offset is required. With the combination of

low initial offset, low offset drift, and 8 kHz of

bandwidth from 650 nA of quiescent current, the

LPV821 is the industry's lowest power zero-drift

amplifier that can be used for end equipment that

monitor current consumption, temperature, gas, or

strain gauges.

The LPV821 zero-drift operational amplifier uses a

proprietary

auto-calibration

technique

to

simultaneously provide low offset voltage (20 μV,

maximum)

and

minimal

drift

over

time

and

temperature. In addition to having low offset and

ultra-low quiescent current, the LPV821 amplifier has

pico-amp

bias

currents

which

reduce

errors

commonly

introduced

in

applications

monitoring

sensors with high output impedance and amplifier

configurations with megaohm feedback resistors.
