validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The OPAx189 operational amplifier combines precision offset and drift with excellent overall performance,
making the series ideal for many precision applications. The precision offset drift of only 0.0035 µV/°C provides
stability over the entire temperature range. In addition, the device pairs excellent CMRR, PSRR, and A_OL dc
performance with outstanding low-noise operation. As with all amplifiers, applications with noisy or high-
impedance power supplies require decoupling capacitors close to the device pins. In most cases, 0.1-µF
capacitors are adequate.
The following application examples highlight only a few of the circuits where the OPAx189 can be used.
9.2 Typical Applications
9.2.1 High-Side Voltage-to-Current (V-I) Converter
The circuit shown in Figure 10 is a high-side voltage-to-current (V-I) converter. The converter translates an input
voltage of 0 V to 2 V into an output current of 0 mA to 100 mA. Figure 11 shows the measured transfer function
for this circuit. The low offset voltage and offset drift of the OPAx189 facilitates excellent dc accuracy for the
circuit.
