8.1 Application Information

The OPAx187 operational amplifier family combines precision offset and drift with excellent overall performance, making this device an excellent choice for many precision applications. The precision offset drift of only 0.001 µV/°C provides stability over the entire temperature range. In addition, the device pairs excellent CMRR, PSRR, and AOL 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 OPAx187 can be used.
