LF353
Wide Bandwidth Dual JFET Input Operational Amplifier
General Description
These devices are low cost, high speed, dual JFET input
operational amplifiers with an internally trimmed input offset
voltage (BI-FET IItechnology). They require low supply
current yet maintain a large gain bandwidth product and fast
slew rate. In addition, well matched high voltage JFET input
devices provide very low input bias and offset currents. The
LF353 is pin compatible with the standard LM1558 allowing
designers to immediately upgrade the overall performance of
existing LM1558 and LM358 designs.
These amplifiers may be used in applications such as high
speed integrators, fast D/A converters, sample and hold
circuits and many other circuits requiring low input offset
voltage, low input bias current, high input impedance, high
slew rate and wide bandwidth. The devices also exhibit low
noise and offset voltage drift.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to
the device may occur. Operating ratings indicate conditions for which the
device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. Elec-
trical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical specifications under particu-
lar test conditions which guarantee specific performance limits. This assumes
that the device is within the Operating Ratings. Specifications are not guar-
anteed for parameters where no limit is given, however, the typical value is a
good indication of device performance.

Note 2: For operating at elevated temperatures, the device must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 115˚C/W typ junction to ambient for the N package,
and 158˚C/W typ junction to ambient for the H package.
Note 3: Unless otherwise specified the absolute maximum negative input voltage is equal to the negative power supply voltage.
Note 4: The power dissipation limit, however, cannot be exceeded.
Note 5: These specifications apply for VS=±15V and 0˚CTA+70˚C. VOS,I
Band IOS are measured at VCM=0.
Note 6: The input bias currents are junction leakage currents which approximately double for every 10˚C increase in the junction temperature, Tj. Due to the limited
production test time, the input bias currents measured are correlated to junction temperature. In normal operation the junction temperature rises above the ambient
temperature as a result of internal power dissipation, PD.T
j=TA+θjA PDwhere θjA is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient. Use of a heat sink is
recommended if input bias current is to be kept to a minimum.
Note 7: Supply voltage rejection ratio is measured for both supply magnitudes increasing or decreasing simultaneously in accordance with common practice. VS
=±6V to ±15V.
Note 8: Human body model, 1.5 kin series with 100 pF.

Application Hints
These devices are op amps with an internally trimmed input
offset voltage and JFET input devices (BI-FET II). These
JFETs have large reverse breakdown voltages from gate to
source and drain eliminating the need for clamps across the
inputs. Therefore, large differential input voltages can easily
be accommodated without a large increase in input current.
The maximum differential input voltage is independent of the
supply voltages. However, neither of the input voltages
should be allowed to exceed the negative supply as this will
cause large currents to flow which can result in a destroyed
unit.
Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input
will force the output to a high state, potentially causing a
reversal of phase to the output. Exceeding the negative
common-mode limit on both inputs will force the amplifier
output to a high state. In neither case does a latch occur

Application Hints (Continued)
since raising the input back within the common-mode range
again puts the input stage and thus the amplifier in a normal
operating mode.
Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a single input
will not change the phase of the output; however, if both
inputs exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier will be
forced to a high state.
The amplifiers will operate with a common-mode input volt-
age equal to the positive supply; however, the gain band-
width and slew rate may be decreased in this condition.
When the negative common-mode voltage swings to within
3V of the negative supply, an increase in input offset voltage
may occur.
Each amplifier is individually biased by a zener reference
which allows normal circuit operation on ±6V power sup-
plies. Supply voltages less than these may result in lower
gain bandwidth and slew rate.
The amplifiers will drivea2kload resistance to ±10V over
the full temperature range of 0˚C to +70˚C. If the amplifier is
forced to drive heavier load currents, however, an increase
in input offset voltage may occur on the negative voltage
swing and finally reach an active current limit on both posi-
tive and negative swings.
Precautions should be taken to ensure that the power supply
for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity
or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards in a
socket as an unlimited current surge through the resulting
forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of the internal
conductors and result in a destroyed unit.
As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in order
to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to
an input should be placed with the body close to the input to
minimize “pick-up” and maximize the frequency of the feed-
back pole by minimizing the capacitance from the input to
ground.
A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance
from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to AC
ground set the frequency of the pole. In many instances the
frequency of this pole is much greater than the expected 3
dB frequency of the closed loop gain and consequently there
is negligible effect on stability margin. However, if the feed-
back pole is less than approximately 6 times the expected 3
dB frequency a lead capacitor should be placed from the
output to the input of the op amp. The value of the added
capacitor should be such that the RC time constant of this
capacitor and the resistance it parallels is greater than or
equal to the original feedback pole time constant.
