LM308A
Precision Operational
Amplifier
The LM308A operational amplifier provides high input impedance, low
input offset and temperature drift, and low noise. These characteristics are
made possible by use of a special Super Beta processing technology. This
amplifier is particularly useful for applications where high accuracy and low
drift performance are essential. In addition high speed performance may be
improved by employing feedforward compensation techniques to maximize
slew rate without compromising other performance criteria.
The LM308A offers extremely low input offset voltage and drift
specifications allowing usage in even the most critical applications without
external offset nulling.

NOTES: 1. For supply voltages less than 15 V, the maximum input voltage is equal to the supply
voltage.
2. The inputs are shunted with backtoback diodes for overvoltage protection. Therefore,
excessive current will flow if a differential input voltage in excess of 1.0 V is applied
between the inputs, unless some limiting resistance is used.

SUGGESTED DESIGN APPLICATIONS
INPUT GUARDING
Special care must be taken in the assembly of printed
circuit boards to take full advantage of the low input currents
of the LM308A amplifier. Boards must be thoroughly cleaned
with alcohol and blown dry with compressed air. After
cleaning, the boards should be coated with epoxy or silicone
rubber to prevent contamination.

Even with properly cleaned and coated boards, leakage

currents may cause trouble at +125C, particularly since the
input pins are adjacent to pins that are at supply potentials.
This leakage can be significantly reduced by using guarding
to lower the voltage difference between the inputs and
adjacent metal runs. The guard, which is a conductive ring
surrounding the inputs, is connected to a lowimpedance
point that is at approximately the same voltage as the inputs.
Leakage currents from high voltage pins are then absorbed
by the guard.
