APPLICATIONS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
• Sensor interface circuits
The ALD1721E/ALD1721 is a monolithic rail-to-rail precision CMOS
operational amplifier with integrated user programmable EPAD (Electri-
callyProgrammableAnalogDevice)basedoffsetvoltageadjustment. The
ALD1721E/ALD1721 operational amplifier is a direct replacement of the
ALD1701 operational amplifier, with the added feature of user-program-
mable offset voltage trimming resulting in significantly enhanced total
system performance and user flexibility. EPAD technology is an exclusive
ALD design which has been refined for analog applications where preci-
sion voltage trimming is necessary to achieve a desired performance. It
utilizes CMOS FETs as in-circuit elements for trimming of offset voltage
bias characteristics with the aid of a personal computer under software
control. Once programmed, the set parameters are stored indefinitely
within the device even after power-down. EPAD offers the circuit designer
a convenient and cost-effective trimming solution for achieving the very
highest amplifier/system performance.
