200 µV. This allows the OP176 to be used in many dc coupled  
or summing applications without the need for special selections  
or the added noise of additional offset adjustment circuitry.  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The OP176 is a low noise, high output drive op amp that  
features the Butler Amplifier front-end. This new front-end  
design combines both bipolar and JFET transistors to attain  
amplifiers with the accuracy and low noise performance of  
bipolar transistors, and the speed and sound quality of JFETs.  
Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise equals previous audio  
amplifiers, but at much lower supply currents.  
The output is capable of driving 600 loads to 10 V rms while  
maintaining low distortion. THD + Noise at 3 V rms is a low  
0.0006%.  
The OP176 is specified over the extended industrial (–40°C to  
+85°C) temperature range. OP176s are available in both plastic  
DIP and SO-8 packages. SO-8 packages are available in 2500  
piece reels. Many audio amplifiers are not offered in SO-8  
surface mount packages for a variety of reasons, however, the  
OP176 was designed so that it would offer full performance in  
surface mount packaging.  
Improved dc performance is also provided with bias and offset  
currents greatly reduced over purely bipolar designs. Input  
offset voltage is guaranteed at 1 mV and is typically less than

Short Circuit Protection  
±V = ±18V  
S
The OP176 has been designed with output short circuit  
protection. The typical output drive current is ±50 mA. This  
high output current and wide output swing combine to yield an  
excellent audio amplifier, even when driving large signals, at low  
power and in a small package.  
R = 600Ω  
L
0.010  
Total Harmonic Distortion  
Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise (THD + N) of the OP176  
is well below 0.001% with any load down to 600 . However,  
this is dependent upon the peak output swing. In Figure 23 it is  
seen that the THD + Noise with 3 V rms output is below  
0.001%. In the following Figure 24, THD + Noise is below  
0.001% for the 10 kand 2 kloads but increases to above  
0.01% for the 600 load condition. This is a result of the  
output swing capability of the OP176. Notice the results in  
Figure 25, showing THD vs. VIN (V rms).

O
The output of the OP176 is designed to maintain low harmonic  
distortion while driving 600 loads. However, driving 600 Ω  
loads with very high output swings results in higher distortion if  
clipping occurs.  
0.010  
To attain low harmonic distortion with large output swings,  
supply voltages may be increased. Figure 26 shows the perfor-  
mance of the OP176 driving 600 loads with supply voltages  
varying from ±18 volts to ±20 volts. Notice that with ±18 volt  
supplies the distortion is fairly high, while with ±20 volt supplies  
it is a very low 0.0007%.

If the original 5534 socket includes offset nulling circuitry, one  
would find a 10 kto 100 kpotentiometer connected between  
Pins 1 and 8 with said potentiometer’s wiper arm connected to  
V+. In order to upgrade the socket to the OP176, this circuit  
should be removed before inserting the OP176 for its offset  
nulling scheme uses Pins 1 and 5. Whereas the wiper arm of the  
5534 trimming potentiometer is connected to the positive  
supply, the OP176’s wiper arm is connected to the negative  
supply. Directly substituting the OP176 into the original socket  
would inject a large current imbalance into its input stage. In  
this case, the potentiometer should be removed altogether, or, if  
nulling is still required, the trimming potentiometer should be  
rewired to match the nulling circuit as illustrated in Figure 29.  
The voltage noise density of the OP176 is below 6 nV/Hz from  
30 Hz. This enables low noise designs to have good perfor-  
mance throughout the full audio range. Figure 27 shows a  
typical OP176 with a 1/f corner at 6 Hz.

For audio applications the noise density is usually the most  
important noise parameter. For characterization the OP176 is  
tested using an Audio Precision, System One. The input signal  
to the Audio Precision must be amplified enough to measure  
accurately. For the OP176 the noise is gained by approximately  
1020 using the circuit shown in Figure 28. Any readings on the  
Audio Precision must then be divided by the gain. In imple-  
menting this test fixture, good supply bypassing is essential.

Input Overcurrent Protection  
The maximum input differential voltage that can be applied to  
the OP176 is determined by a pair of internal Zener diodes  
connected across its inputs. They limit the maximum differen-  
tial input voltage to ±7.5 V. This is to prevent emitter-base  
junction breakdown from occurring in the input stage of the  
OP176 when very large differential voltages are applied.  
However, in order to preserve the OP176’s low input noise  
voltage, internal resistances in series with the inputs were not  
used to limit the current in the clamp diodes. In small signal  
applications, this is not an issue; however, in applications where  
large differential voltages can be inadvertently applied to the  
device, large transient currents can flow through these diodes.  
Although these diodes have been designed to carry a current of  
±5 mA, external resistors as shown in Figure 30 should be used  
in the event that the OP176’s differential voltage were to exceed  
±7.5 V.

Upgrading “5534‘’ Sockets  
The OP176 is a superior amplifier for upgrading existing  
designs using the industry standard 5534. In most application  
circuits, the OP176 can directly replace the 5534 without any  
modifications to the surrounding circuitry. Like the 5534, the  
OP176 follows the industry standard, single op amp pinout. The  
difference between these two devices is the location of the null  
pins and the 5534’s compensation capacitor.

The 5534 normally requires a 22 pF capacitor between Pins 5  
and 8 for stable operation. Since the OP176 is internally  
compensated for unity gain operation, it does not require  
external compensation. Nevertheless, if the 5534 socket already  
includes a capacitor, the OP176 can be inserted without  
removing it. Since the OP176’s Pin 8 is a “NO CONNECT’’  
pin, there is no internal connection to that pin. Thus, the 22 pF  
capacitor would be electrically connected through Pin 5 to the  
internal nulling circuitry. With the other end left open, the  
capacitor should have no effect on the circuit. However, to  
avoid altogether any possibility for noise injection, it is recom-  
mended that the 22 pF capacitor be cut out of the circuit  
entirely.

Output Voltage Phase Reversal  
+15V  
Since the OP176’s input stage combines bipolar transistors for  
low noise and p-channel JFETs for high speed performance, the  
output voltage of the OP176 may exhibit phase reversal if either  
of its inputs exceeds the specified negative common-mode input  
voltage. This might occur in some applications where a trans-  
ducer, or a system, fault might apply very large voltages upon  
the inputs of the OP176. Even though the input voltage range  
of the OP176 is ±10.5 V, an input voltage of approximately  
–13.5 V will cause output voltage phase reversal. In inverting  
amplifier configurations, the OP176’s internal 7.5 V clamping  
diodes will prevent phase reversal; however, they will not  
prevent this effect from occurring in noninverting applications.  
For these applications, the fix is a 3.92 kresistor in series  
with the noninverting input of the device and is illustrated in  
Figure 31.

The overdrive recovery time of an operational amplifier is the

In inverting and noninverting applications, the feedback  
resistance forms a pole with the source resistance and capaci-  
tance (RS and CS) and the OP176’s input capacitance (CIN), as  
shown in Figure 35. With RS and RF in the krange, this pole  
can create excess phase shift and even oscillation. A small  
capacitor, CFB, in parallel with RFB eliminates this problem. By  
setting RS (CS + CIN) = RFB CFB, the effect of the feedback pole is  
completely removed.

Attention to Source Impedances Minimizes Distortion  
Since the OP176 is a very low distortion amplifier, careful  
attention should be given to source impedances seen by both  
inputs. As with many FET-type amplifiers, the p-channel  
JFETs in the OP176’s input stage exhibit a gate-to-source  
capacitance that varies with the applied input voltage. In an  
inverting configuration, the inverting input is held at a virtual  
ground and, as such, does not vary with input voltage. Thus,  
since the gate-to-source voltage is constant, there is no distor-  
tion due to input capacitance modulation. In noninverting  
applications, however, the gate-to-source voltage is not  
constant. The resulting capacitance modulation can cause  
distortion above 1 kHz if the input impedance is > 2 kand  
unbalanced.

Figure 37. In-the-Loop Compensation Technique for  
Driving Capacitive Loads  
Figure 36 shows some guidelines for maximizing the distortion  
performance of the OP176 in noninverting applications. The  
best way to prevent unwanted distortion is to ensure that the  
parallel combination of the feedback and gain setting resistors  
(RF and RG) is less than 2 k. Keeping the values of these  
resistors small has the added benefits of reducing the thermal  
noise of the circuit and dc offset errors. If the parallel combina-  
tion of RF and RG is larger than 2 k, then an additional  
resistor, RS, should be used in series with the noninverting  
APPLICATIONS USING THE OP176  
A High Speed, Low Noise Differential Line Driver  
The circuit of Figure 38 is a unique line driver widely used in  
many applications. With ±18 V supplies, this line driver can  
deliver a differential signal of 30 V p-p into a 2.5 kload. The  
high slew rate and wide bandwidth of the OP176 combine to  
yield a full power bandwidth of 130 kHz while the low noise  
front end produces a referred-to-input noise voltage spectral  
density of 15 nV/Hz. The circuit is capable of driving lower  
impedance loads as well. For example, with a reduced output  
level of 5 V rms (14 V p-p), the circuit exhibits a full-power  
bandwidth of 190 kHz while driving a differential load of 249 !  
The design is a transformerless, balanced transmission system  
where output common-mode rejection of noise is of paramount  
importance. Like the transformer-based design, either output  
can be shorted to ground for unbalanced line driver applications  
without changing the circuit gain of 1. Other circuit gains can  
be set according to the equation in the diagram. This allows the  
design to be easily set for noninverting, inverting, or differential  
operation.

As with any high speed amplifier, care must be taken when  
driving capacitive loads. The graph in Figure 14 shows the  
OP176’s overshoot versus capacitive load. The test circuit is a  
standard noninverting voltage follower; it is this configuration  
that places the most demand on an amplifier’s stability. For  
capacitive loads greater than 400 pF, overshoot exceeds 40%  
and is roughly equivalent to a 45° phase margin. If the applica-  
tion requires the OP176 to drive loads larger than 400 pF, then  
external compensation should be used.

Power Option  
Figure 39 is an example of a circuit that combines the strengths  
of the SSM2017 and the OP176 into a variable gain micro-  
phone preamplifier with an optional phantom power feature.  
The SSM2017’s strengths lie in its low noise and distortion, and  
gain flexibility/simplicity. However, rated only for 2 kor  
higher loads, this makes driving 600 loads somewhat limited  
with the SSM2017 alone. A pair of OP176s are used in the  
circuit as a high current output buffer (U2) and a DC servo  
stage (U3). The OP176’s high output current drive capability  
provides a high level drive into 600 loads when operating  
from ±18 V supplies. For a complete treatment of the circuit  
design details, the interested reader should consult application  
note AN-242, available from Analog Devices.

A Low Noise, +5 V/+10 V Reference  
A Differential ADC Driver  
In many high resolution applications, voltage reference noise  
can be a major contributor to overall system error. Monolithic  
voltage references often exhibit too much wide band noise to be  
used alone in these systems. Only through careful filtering and  
buffering of these monolithic references can one realize wide-  
band microvolt noise levels. The circuit illustrated in Figure 41  
is an example of a low noise precision reference optimized for  
both ac and dc performance around the OP176. With a +10 V  
reference (the AD587), the circuit exhibits a 1 kHz spot output  
noise spectral density < 10 nV/Hz. The reference output  
voltage is selectable between 5 V and 10 V, depending only on  
the selection of the monolithic reference. The output table  
illustrated in the figure provides a selection of monolithic  
references compatible with this circuit.  
High performance audio sigma-delta ADCs, such as the stereo  
16-bit AD1878 and the 18-bit AD1879, present challenging  
design problems with regards to input interfacing. Because of  
an internal switched capacitor input circuit, the ADC input  
structure presents a difficult dynamic load to the drive amplifier  
with fast transient input currents due to their 3 MHz ADC  
sampling rate. Also, these ADCs inputs are differential with a  
rated full-scale range of ±6.3 V, or about 4.4 V rms. Hence, the  
ADC interface circuit of Figure 42 is designed to accept a  
balanced input signal to drive the low dynamic impedances seen  
at the inputs of these ADCs. The circuit uses two OP176

Figure 42. A Balanced Driver Circuit for Sigma-Delta ADCs  
In operation, the basic reference voltage is set by U1, either a  
5 V or 10 V 3-terminal reference chosen from the table. In this  
case, the reference used is a 10 V buried Zener reference, but  
all U1 IC types shown can plug into the pinout and can be  
optionally trimmed. The stable 10 V from the reference is then  
applied to the R1-C1-C2noise filter, which uses electrolytic  
capacitors for a low corner frequency. When electrolytic  
capacitors are used for filtering, one must be cognizant of their  
dc leakage current errors. Here, however, a dc bootstrap of C1  
is used, so this capacitor sees only the small R2 dc drop as bias,  
effectively lowering its leakage current to negligible levels. The  
resulting low noise, dc-accurate output of the filter is then  
buffered by a low noise, unity gain op amp using an OP176.  
With the OP176’s low VOS and control of the source resistances,  
the dc performance of this circuit is quite good and will not  
compromise voltage reference accuracy and/or drift. Also, the  
OP176 has a typical current limit of 50 mA, so it can provide  
higher output currents when compared to a typical IC reference  
alone.  
amplifiers as inverting low-pass filters for their speed and high  
output current drive. The outputs of the OP176s then drive the  
differential ADC inputs through an RC network. This RC  
network buffers the amplifiers against step changes at the ADC  
sampling inputs using one differential (C3) and two common-  
mode connected capacitors (C4 and C5). The 51 series  
resistors isolate the OP176s from the heavily capacitive loads,  
while the capacitors absorb the transient currents. Operating on  
±12 V supplies, this circuit exhibits a very low THD + N of  
0.001% at 5 V rms outputs. For single-ended drive sources, a  
third op amp unity gain inverter can be added between R2’s (+)  
input terminal and R4. For best results, short-lead, noninduc-  
tive capacitors are suggested for C3, C4, and C5 (which are  
placed close to the ADC), and 1% metal-film types for R1  
through R6. For surface mount PCBs, these components can  
be NPO ceramic chip capacitors and thin-film chip resistors.

relative to the ideal RIAA characteristic is within ±0.2 dB over  
20 Hz–20 kHz. Even tighter response can be achieved by using  
the alternate values, shown in brackets “[ ],” with the trade-off  
of a non off-the-shelf part.

C2) forms a three time constant network, providing reasonably  
accurate equalization with standard component values. The

as recommended by the manufacturer, the element values  
shown being typical. When this ac coupled circuit is built with a

current makes direct cartridge coupling difficult. This circuit  
uses input and output capacitor coupling to minimize biasing  
interactions.  
As previously mentioned, the OP176 was chosen for three  
reasons: (1) For optimal circuit noise performance, the  
amplifier used should exhibit voltage and current noise densities  
of 5 nV/Hz and 1 pA/Hz, respectively. (2) For high gain  
accuracy, especially at high stage gains, the amplifier should  
exhibit a gain bandwidth product in excess of 5 MHz. (3)  
Equally important because of the 100% feedback through the  
network at high frequencies, the amplifier must be unity gain  
stable. With the OP176, the circuit exhibits low distortion over  
the entire range, generally well below 0.01% at outputs levels of  
5 V rms using ±18 V supplies. To achieve maximum perfor-  
mance from this high gain, low level circuit, power supplies  
should be well regulated and noise free, and care should be  
taken with shielding and conductor layout.  
Input ac coupling to the amplifier is provided via C5, and the  
low frequency termination resistance, RT, is the parallel equiva-  
lent of R6 and R7. R3 of the feedback network is ac grounded  
via C4, a large value electrolytic. Additionally, this resistor is  
set to a low value to minimize circuit noise from nonamplifier  
sources. These design measures reduce the dc offset at the  
output of the OP176 to a few millivolts. The output coupling  
network of C3 and R4 is shown as suitable for wide band  
response, but it can be set to a 7950 µs time constant for use as  
a 20 Hz rumble filter.  
Active Filter Circuits Using the OP176  
A general active filter topology that lends itself to both high-pass  
(HP) and low-pass (LP) filters is the well known Sallen-Key  
(SK) VCVS (Voltage-Controlled, Voltage Source) architecture.  
This filter type uses the op amp as a fixed gain voltage follower  
at either unity or a higher gain. Discussed here are simplified 2-  
pole, unity gain forms of these filters, which are attractive for  
several reasons: One, at audio frequencies, using an amplifier  
with a 10 MHz bandwidth such as the OP176, these filters  
exhibit reasonably low sensitivities for unity gain and high  
damping (low Q). Second, as voltage followers, they are also  
inherently gain accurate within their pass band; hence, no gain  
resistor scaling errors are generated. Third, they can also be  
made “dc accurate,” with output dc errors of only a few  
millivolts. The specific filter response in terms of HP, LP and  
damping is determined by the RC network around the op amp,  
as shown in Figure 44a.  
The 1 kHz gain (“G”) of this circuit, controlled by R3, is  
calculated as:  
R1  
R3  
G (@ 1 kHz) = 0.101 × 1 +  
For an R3 of 200 , the circuit gain is just under 50 × (≈ 34 dB),  
and higher gains are possible by decreasing R3. For any value  
of R3, the R5-C6 time constant should be equal to R3 and the  
series equivalent of C1 and C2.  
Using readily available standard values for network elements  
(R1, R2, C1, and C2) makes the design easily reproducible and  
inexpensive. These components are ideally high quality  
precision types, for low equalization errors and minimum

High Pass Sections  
Low Pass Sections  
Figure 44a illustrates the high-pass form of a 2-pole SK filter  
using an OP176. For simplicity and practicality, capacitors C1  
and C2 are set equal (“C”), and resistors R2 and R1are  
adjusted to a ratio, N, which provides the filter damping  
coefficient, α, as per the design expressions. This high pass  
design is begun with selection of standard capacitor values for  
C1 and C2 and a calculation of N. The values for R1 and R2  
are then determined from the following expressions:  
In the LP SK arrangement of Figure 44b, the R and C elements  
are interchanged where the resistors are made equal. Here, the  
ratio of C2/C1 (“M”) is used to set the filter α, as noted.  
Otherwise, this filter is similar to the HP section, and the  
resulting 1 kHz LP response is shown in Figure 45. The design  
begins with a choice of a standard capacitor value for C1 and a  
calculation of M. This then forces a value of “M × C1” for C2.  
Then, the value for R1 and R2 (“R”) is calculated according to  
the following equation:

In this examples, circuit α (or 1/Q) is set equal to 2, providing  
a Butterworth (maximally flat) characteristic. The filter corner  
frequency is normalized to 1 kHz, with resistor values shown in  
both rounded and (exact) form. Various other 2-pole response  
shapes are possible with appropriate selection of α, and fre-  
quency can be easily scaled, using inversely proportional R or  
C values for a given α. The 22 V/µs slew rate of the OP176 will  
support 20 V p-p outputs above 100 kHz with low distortion.  
The frequency response resulting with this filter is shown as the  
dotted HP portion of Figure 45.

Passive Component Selection for Active Filters  
The passive components suitable for active filters deserve more  
than casual attention. Resistors should be 1%, low TC, metal-  
film types of the RN55 or RN60 style. Capacitors should be 1%  
or 2% film types preferably, such as polypropylene or polysty-  
rene, or NPO (COG) ceramic for smaller values.

Active Filter Circuit Subtleties  
0.010  
0.001  
0.0001  
In designing active filter circuits with the OP176, moderately  
low values (10 kor less) for R1 and R2 can be used to  
minimize the effects of Johnson noise when critical. The  
practical tradeoff is, of course, capacitor size and expense. DC  
errors will result for larger values of resistance, unless compen-  
sation for amplifier input bias current is used. To add bias  
compensation in the HP filter section of Figure 42a, a feedback  
compensation resistor equal to R2 can be used. This will  
minimize bias current induced offset to the product of the  
OP176’s IOS and R2. For an R2 of 25 k, this produces a typical  
compensated offset voltage of 50 µV. Similar compensation is  
applied to Figure 42b, using a resistance equal to R1+ R2.  
Using dc compensation, filter output dc errors using the OP176  
will be dominated by its VOS, which is typically 1 mV or less. A  
caveat here is that the additional resistors can increase noise  
substantially. For example, a 10 kresistor generates ~ 12 nV/  
Hz of noise and is about twice that of the OP176. These  
resistors can be ac bypassed to eliminate their noise using a  
simple shunt capacitor chosen such that its reactance (XC) is  
much less than R at the lowest frequency of interest.

Figure 46. THD + N (%) vs. Frequency for Various 1 kHz HP  
Active Filters Illustrating the Effects of the ZCOMP Network  
Curves A1 and B1 show performance with ZCOMP shorted,  
while curves A2 and B2 illustrate operation with ZCOMP active.  
For the “A” example values, distortion in the pass band of  
1 kHz–20 kHz is below 0.001% compensated, and slightly  
higher uncompensated. With the higher impedance “B” net-  
work, there is a much greater difference between compensated  
and uncompensated responses, underscoring the sensitivity to  
higher impedances. Although the positive effect of ZCOMP is seen  
for both “A” and “B” cases, there is a buffering effect which  
takes place with lower impedances. As case “A” shows, when  
using larger capacitance values in the source, the amplifier’s  
nonlinear C-V input characteristics have less effect on the  
signal.  
A more subtle form of ac degradation is also possible in these  
filters, namely nonlinear input capacitance modulation. This  
issue was previously covered for general cases in the section on  
minimizing distortion. In active filter circuits, a fully compen-  
sating network (for both dc and ac performance) can be used to  
minimize this distortion. To be most effective, this network  
(ZCOMP) should include R1through C2 as noted for either filter  
type, of the same style and value as their counterparts in the  
forward path. The effects of a ZCOMP network on the THD + N  
performance of two 1 kHz HP filters is illustrated in Figure 46.  
One filter (A) is the example shown in Figure 44a (Curves A1  
and A2), while the second (B) uses RC values scaled 10 times  
upward in impedance (Curves B1 and B2). Both filters operate  
with a 2 V rms input, ±18 V supplies, 100 kloading, and  
analyzer bandwidth of 80 kHz.  
Thus, to minimize the necessity for the complete ZCOMP com-  
pensation, effective filter designs should use the lowest capaci-  
tive impedances practical, with an 0.01 µF lower value limit as a  
goal for lowest distortion (while lower values can certainly be  
used, they may suffer higher distortion without the use of full  
compensation). Since most designs are likely to use low relative  
impedances for reasons of low noise and offset, the effects of  
CM distortion may or may not actually be apparent to a given  
application.
