Product details
Overview
AMP03GPZ from Analog Devices is a monolithic unity-gain differential amplifier optimized for precision instrumentation and signal conditioning. It delivers 100 dB typical common-mode rejection, 3 MHz small-signal bandwidth, 9.5 V/µs slew rate, and 0.001% typical nonlinearity-enabling accurate voltage difference amplification in noisy industrial sensor interfaces and 4–20 mA current transmitter front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the AMP03GPZ datasheet, AMP03GPZ pinout, AMP03GPZ application, or AMP03GPZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world use cases in balanced line reception and absolute value amplification, and confirmed alternative options for differential amplifier replacement.
Technical Context
The AMP03GPZ implements a fully integrated thin-film resistor network (25 kΩ × 4) laser-trimmed to better than 0.002% matching, enabling stable gain accuracy without external components. Its differential topology inherently rejects common-mode voltages while preserving signal integrity across ±20 V input range.
Thermally symmetric layout ensures CMRR remains ≥80 dB up to 100 kHz, and internal compensation supports stable operation with up to 300 pF capacitive load-critical for driving ADC inputs or long cables in data acquisition systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CMRR | 100 dB typical - enables >100× rejection of ground-loop noise in sensor bridges and transducer interfaces |
| Small-Signal Bandwidth | 3 MHz - supports fast transient response in precision summing and active filtering up to audio frequencies |
| Slew Rate | 9.5 V/µs - ensures <1 µs settling to 0.01% for ±10 V step inputs in high-speed current-voltage conversion |
| Input Voltage Range | ±20 V - accommodates full-scale industrial sensor outputs without attenuation or clipping |
| Offset Voltage | +25 µV typical (G grade) - contributes <0.00025% error at 10 V output, critical for 16-bit+ system accuracy |
| Supply Current | 2.5–3.5 mA - enables low-power operation in battery-backed instrumentation without sacrificing speed |
| Output Swing | ±13.7 V into 2 kΩ - drives standard op-amp input stages or reference buffers directly from ±15 V rails |
Pinout & Package
AMP03GPZ is supplied in an 8-lead plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), compliant with JEDEC MO-095AA. Package dimensions: 0.355" × 0.275" × 0.150" (9.02 mm × 7.00 mm × 3.81 mm).

| 3 | +IN | Non-inverting input terminal; paired with Pin 2 to define differential input path |
| 4 | –VEE | Negative supply rail connection; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitor near pin |
| 5 | SENSE | Feedback sense node; connects to output via external resistor network in non-unity configurations |
| 6 | OUTPUT | Differential output terminal; drives loads up to 300 pF with stable phase margin |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA105KP | Lower bandwidth (1.2 MHz), slower slew rate (3 V/µs), higher offset drift (±1 µV/°C vs. AMP03GPZ's ±0.1 µV/°C) | Acceptable for DC/low-frequency instrumentation but unsuitable for >100 kHz signal paths or fast-settling applications | Select INA105KP only when cost sensitivity outweighs speed and thermal stability requirements |
| AD629ARZ | Higher common-mode input range (±270 V), lower CMRR (86 dB typ), no internal resistor network-requires external 25 kΩ matched pair | Designed for high-voltage motor phase sensing; lacks integrated precision resistors needed for plug-in AMP03GPZ replacement | Choose AD629ARZ only for >±200 V common-mode applications where external resistor matching is acceptable |
Compared with AMP03GPZ, INA105KP trades bandwidth and thermal stability for lower cost in static measurements, while AD629ARZ extends common-mode range at the expense of integrated precision and CMRR-neither offers pin-compatible replacement, and both require layout or resistor network changes.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for AMP03GPZ?
The AMP03GPZ is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, matching the G-grade specification defined in the Analog Devices datasheet REV. F. This range supports deployment in industrial control cabinets, outdoor sensor nodes, and factory-floor equipment where ambient temperatures exceed commercial limits. The device maintains 100 dB typical CMRR and 9.5 V/µs slew rate across this full span, as verified by wafer-level testing and packaged part characterization.
Does AMP03GPZ require external precision resistors to achieve unity-gain differential operation?
No, AMP03GPZ does not require external precision resistors for unity-gain differential operation. It integrates a laser-trimmed thin-film resistor network (four 25 kΩ elements matched to better than 0.002%) directly on-die. This eliminates gain error sources from external component tolerance and thermal drift-enabling true plug-in difference amplifier functionality with guaranteed 0.008% max gain error per the AMP03GBC wafer test limits.
Can AMP03GPZ drive a 100 kΩ load while maintaining specified bandwidth?
Yes, AMP03GPZ maintains its 3 MHz small-signal bandwidth into a 100 kΩ load, as confirmed by electrical characterization under RL = 2 kΩ and open-loop conditions in the datasheet. Output swing remains ±13.7 V, and distortion stays below 0.001% THD+N at 1 kHz. For heavier loads (<2 kΩ), bandwidth decreases predictably per closed-loop gain curves in TPC 8, but 100 kΩ presents negligible loading effect on frequency response.
What is the function of the SENSE pin (Pin 5) on AMP03GPZ?
The SENSE pin (Pin 5) on AMP03GPZ serves as the feedback sense node for non-unity-gain configurations. When used in gain-of-two or higher setups (e.g., Figure 7), it connects to the junction of external gain-setting resistors to close the feedback loop internally. In standard unity-gain differential mode, SENSE is tied directly to OUTPUT per functional block diagram-enabling the monolithic resistor network to set precise gain without external connections.
Is AMP03GPZ pin-compatible with other grades like AMP03BJ or AMP03FJ?
No, AMP03GPZ is not pin-compatible with AMP03BJ or AMP03FJ. While all share the same 8-pin header (J suffix) pinout, AMP03GPZ uses a PDIP package (P suffix) with distinct lead spacing and mounting footprint. The J-suffix variants use metal-can TO-99 packaging with different mechanical dimensions, thermal resistance (θJC = 18°C/W vs. 43°C/W for PDIP), and soldering requirements-requiring separate PCB layouts and assembly processes.
