Operational Amp
Description:
The NTE945 is a precision, high input impedance operational amplifier in an 8−Lead Metal Can type
package designed for applications requiring extremely low input current errors. This device uses su-
pergain transistors in a Darlington input stage to get input bias currents that are equal to high−quality
FET amplifiers−even in limited temperature range operation.
Unlike most other internally compensated amplifiers, the MOS compensation capacitor is protected
to prevent catastrophic failure from overvoltage spikes on the supplies.
The low current error of this amplifier makes possible many designs that were previously impractical
with monolithic amplifiers. It will operate from 100mΩ source resistances, introducing less error than
general purpose amplifiers with 10kΩ sources, Integrators with worst case drifts less than 10µV/sec
and analog time delays in excess of one day can also be made using capacitors no larger than 1µF.

Note 1. The maximum junction temperature is +70°C. For operating at elevated temperatures, the
NTE945 must be derated based on a thermal resistance of +150°C/W, junction−to−ambient,
or +45°C/W, junction−to−case.
Note 2. The inputs are shunted with back−to−back diodes for overvoltage protection. Therefore, ex-
cessive current will flow if a differential input voltage in excess of 1V is applied between the
inputs unless some limiting resistance is used.
Note 3. For supply voltages less than ±15V, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply
voltage.
