Low enter offset voltage and noise contribute to increased accuracy in sensor circuits
ROHM has developed an ultra-compact 1.8V – 5V, rail-to-rail CMOS operational amplifier (op amp) – the TLR377GYZ. It’s optimized for amplifying indicators from sensors equivalent to temperature, strain, circulate price, utilized in smartphones, small IoT units, and related purposes.
The scale of smartphones and IoT units continues to lower – requiring smaller parts. To precisely amplify small indicators as wanted in excessive precision sensing, op amps should enhance low enter offset voltage and noise efficiency whereas persevering with to shrink the shape issue.
The TLR377GYZ succeeds in balancing miniaturization with excessive accuracy (which has been troublesome to realize with typical op amps) by additional evolving proprietary circuit design, course of, and packaging applied sciences cultivated over a few years.
Op amps’ enter offset voltage and noise era degrade amplification accuracy and might be suppressed by growing the dimensions of the built-in transistors – however on the expense of miniaturization. In response, ROHM developed proprietary circuits which obtain a most offset voltage as little as 1mV with out growing the dimensions of the transistors. As well as, proprietary course of know-how enormously cut back flicker noise, whereas ultra-low noise is achieved with an enter equal noise voltage density of 12nV/√Hz by optimizing the resistive parts on the factor stage. Moreover, the brand new product adopts a WLCSP (Wafer Stage Chip Scale Package deal) with a ball pitch of simply 0.3mm using unique packaging know-how. This reduces dimension by roughly 69% in comparison with typical merchandise and 46% over present compact merchandise.
The IC-mounted conversion board that may change SSOP6 packages can also be supplied to assist substitute issues and preliminary analysis. Each the brand new product and conversion board can be found for buy by way of on-line distributors. As well as, the excessive accuracy SPICE mannequin – known as ROHM Actual Mannequin – is accessible on ROHM’s web site for verification simulations.
Going ahead, along with better miniaturization and accuracy, ROHM will proceed to enhance op amp efficiency by lowering energy consumption additional using proprietary ultra-low present consumption know-how.

Excessive Accuracy Simulation Fashions: ROHM Actual Fashions
ROHM Actual Fashions are new excessive accuracy SPICE fashions that makes use of unique model-based know-how to faithfully reproduce {the electrical} and temperature traits of the particular IC, leading to an ideal match between the IC and simulation values. This ensures dependable verification, contributing to extra environment friendly utility improvement – for instance by stopping rework after prototyping. ROHM Actual Fashions are actually accessible on ROHM’s web site.
Terminology
Enter Offset Voltage
The error voltage that happens between the enter terminals of an op amp.
Flicker Noise
Noise inherent to digital parts equivalent to semiconductors. Energy is inversely proportional to frequency, so the decrease the frequency the better the facility. Additionally known as 1/f noise or pink noise. Different varieties of noise embrace thermal (i.e. Johnson-Nyquist, white) noise.
Equal Enter Noise Voltage Density
The worth obtained by short-circuiting the enter terminals and referring the noise voltage density showing on the output to the enter terminals, i.e., since amplifiers have acquire (amplification issue), dividing the output noise voltage density by the acquire permits for a good analysis of the amplifier’s intrinsic noise traits.
ROHM Actual Mannequin
A high-accuracy simulation mannequin that succeeds in attaining an ideal match between the precise IC and simulation values using ROHM’s proprietary model-based know-how.
