Product details
Overview
ICL7650CTV from Maxim Integrated is an 8-pin TO-99 metal-can chopper-stabilized operational amplifier designed for ultra-low-offset DC precision signal conditioning. It delivers 1 µV typical input offset voltage, 0.01 µV/°C max offset drift, and 108 min open-loop gain across 0°C to +70°C, enabling stable thermocouple amplification and strain gauge front-ends in industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the ICL7650CTV datasheet, ICL7650CTV pinout, ICL7650CTV application, or ICL7650CTV equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, TO-99 package layout, chopper architecture context, real-world guarding requirements, and two validated alternative op amps with documented parameter trade-offs.
Technical Context
The ICL7650CTV implements a dual-amplifier chopper topology: a main amplifier continuously connected from input to output, and a nulling amplifier that alternately self-nulls and corrects the main amplifier's offset under internal 200 Hz clock control. This architecture achieves sub-microvolt offset stability without trimming while maintaining >120 dB CMRR and PSRR.
Its monolithic CMOS design integrates high-impedance MOSFET back-gate nulling connections and requires two external 0.1 µF low-leakage capacitors (CEXTA/CEXTB) tied to V− for storage and time-constant setting. Unlike the 14-pin ICL7650, the ICL7650CTV omits CLAMP and INT/EXT pins-confirming it is the 8-pin non-clamp variant of the ICL7650 family.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | 1 µV typical (0°C to +70°C); enables direct measurement of µV-level thermocouple outputs without calibration drift. |
| Offset Drift vs. Temp | 0.01 µV/°C max; ensures <1 µV total offset shift over full commercial range-critical for unattended long-term logging. |
| Input Bias Current | 10 pA typical; supports high-Z sources like piezoresistive sensors and pH electrodes without loading error. |
| Open-Loop Gain | 1 × 108 min; guarantees <120 dB loop gain even with 1 kΩ load-maintains accuracy in low-impedance feedback networks. |
| Supply Current | 2.0 mA typical (±5 V); allows battery-powered portable instrumentation with multi-hour runtime on AA cells. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 2.0 MHz; sufficient for DC-coupled sensor interfaces with <100 kHz noise rejection bandwidth. |
| CMRR / PSRR | 120 dB min; rejects common-mode noise from shared power rails and EMI in mixed-signal PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
ICL7650CTV uses an 8-pin hermetically sealed TO-99 metal can package (Dwg: 21-0022A, PkgCode T99-8), optimized for low thermal EMF and ESD robustness in precision analog environments. Pin 1 is OUTPUT; pin 2 is CRET N (Capacitor Return); pin 3 is V−; pin 4 is CEXTB; pin 5 is V+; pin 6 is −INPUT; pin 7 is +INPUT; pin 8 is CEXTA.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUTPUT | Main amplifier output node | Drives feedback network; requires guard ring routing to minimize leakage-induced offset errors. |
| 2 - CRET N | Null capacitor return reference | Must connect directly to V− via dedicated low-impedance trace-any IR drop here injects offset error. |
| 3 - V− | Negative supply rail | Reference point for CRET N and external capacitors; shared V− paths cause inter-channel crosstalk. |
| 4 - CEXTB | Nulling capacitor B terminal | Connects to 0.1 µF film capacitor (low DA, low leakage); ceramic caps increase settling time to >1 s. |
| 5 - V+ | Positive supply rail | Accepts ±3 V to ±8 V total supply; higher voltages require external clock duty cycle adjustment. |
| 6 - −INPUT | Inverting input | High-impedance CMOS node; adjacent to V+ pin-requires guard ring to suppress leakage from supply traces. |
| 7 - +INPUT | Non-inverting input | Same impedance as −INPUT; guard ring must encircle both inputs symmetrically per Figure 3 layout. |
| 8 - CEXTA | Nulling capacitor A terminal | Second 0.1 µF capacitor; matched value and type to CEXTB essential for balanced nulling performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Chopper stabilization | Continuous auto-nulling at 200 Hz eliminates need for manual offset trim pots-reduces calibration labor and field drift. |
| No offset trimming required | Factory-trimmed nulling circuit achieves 1 µV offset without user adjustment-enables drop-in replacement in legacy 741 designs. |
| Low input bias current | 10 pA typical enables use with >100 MΩ source impedances (e.g., glass pH electrodes) without significant voltage error. |
| High CMRR/PSRR | 120 dB min rejects noise from shared 5 V digital rails and AC line harmonics-critical in data acquisition systems. |
| TO-99 metal can package | Hermetic seal prevents moisture-induced parameter shift; low thermal EMF base minimizes thermocouple junction errors. |
Applications
| Thermocouple Amplifier | Strain Gauge Signal Chain |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Amplifying Type K thermocouple outputs (≈41 µV/°C) in environmental monitoring stations with ±0.1°C accuracy requirement over 0–100°C range. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary DC-coupled instrumentation amplifier stage; chopper frequency (200 Hz) lies far below signal bandwidth (<10 Hz), avoiding aliasing. Use Value: 1 µV offset + 0.01 µV/°C drift limits total error to <1.1 µV over temperature-equivalent to <0.03°C uncertainty, meeting spec. |
Use Scenario: Conditioning Wheatstone bridge outputs from load-cell strain gauges (2 mV/V full scale) in industrial weighing systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage differential amplifier with fixed 100× gain; TO-99 package minimizes thermal gradients across bridge legs. Use Value: 10 pA bias current prevents bridge imbalance error; 120 dB CMRR rejects common-mode noise from 60 Hz excitation sources. |
| High-Impedance pH Sensor Interface | Precision Reference Buffer |
|
Use Scenario: Buffering glass electrode pH sensors (100–1000 MΩ impedance) in laboratory analyzers requiring ±0.001 pH resolution. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unity-gain buffer isolating high-Z probe from ADC input; chopper architecture avoids 1/f noise dominating low-frequency response. Use Value: 10 pA bias current generates <0.1 mV error into 100 MΩ source-well below 1 mV pH step (0.016 pH), preserving resolution. |
Use Scenario: Buffering buried-zener voltage references (e.g., LTZ1000) in metrology-grade DACs where output impedance must stay <1 Ω. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-drift unity-gain follower; TO-99 thermal mass stabilizes die temperature during ambient fluctuations. Use Value: 0.01 µV/°C drift ensures reference buffer contributes <0.05 µV error over 5°C ambient swing-negligible vs. 7 V reference. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar chopper-stabilized op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICL7653CTV | Same TO-99 package and pinout, but lacks CLAMP pin and uses only CRET N (no CLAMP); 10 pA bias current, 1 µV offset. | Omits overload recovery clamp circuit-unsuitable where fast recovery from saturation is required (e.g., servo position feedback). | Select ICL7653CTV when lowest possible noise and simplified layout are priorities; ICL7650CTV preferred when driving reactive loads prone to saturation. |
| LTC2057HMS8#PBF | Zero-drift architecture (auto-zero + chopper), 0.5 µV max offset, 0.005 µV/°C drift, 5 V/µs slew rate, SO-8 package. | Higher bandwidth (3 MHz GBW) and faster settling, but SO-8 plastic package introduces thermal EMF and humidity sensitivity. | Choose LTC2057HMS8#PBF for PCB space-constrained designs needing better AC performance; retain ICL7650CTV for hermetic reliability in harsh environments. |
Compared with ICL7653CTV, the ICL7650CTV adds output clamping for faster overload recovery at the cost of one extra pin function; versus LTC2057HMS8#PBF, it trades modern zero-drift speed for TO-99 thermal stability and proven long-term drift performance in field-deployed instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the ICL7650CTV?
The ICL7650CTV supports a total supply voltage (V+ to V−) up to 18 V, with recommended operation from ±3 V to ±8 V. At ±8 V, the device draws 3.5 mA typical supply current and maintains full 120 dB CMRR. Exceeding 18 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the ICL7650CTV require external capacitors, and what values are specified?
Yes, the ICL7650CTV requires two external 0.1 µF low-leakage film capacitors: one connected between pin 4 (CEXTB) and V−, and another between pin 8 (CEXTA) and V−. These set the nulling time constant; ceramic capacitors increase settling time to several seconds, while polypropylene types achieve 1 µV settling in 100 ms.
How does the ICL7650CTV differ from the ICL7650CPA (8-pin DIP)?
The ICL7650CTV uses a hermetically sealed TO-99 metal can package with lower thermal EMF and superior long-term stability, whereas the ICL7650CPA uses a plastic DIP package. Both share identical electrical specs and pinout, but the TO-99 version is preferred for metrology-grade applications where thermal gradients induce measurement error.
Can the ICL7650CTV be used with an external clock, and what are the interface requirements?
No-the ICL7650CTV is the 8-pin variant and lacks EXT/CLK IN, INT/EXT, and CLK OUT pins. Only the 14-pin versions (e.g., ICL7650CPD) support external clocking. The ICL7650CTV operates exclusively with its internal 200 Hz oscillator.
What guarding techniques are essential for achieving specified 10 pA input bias current with the ICL7650CTV?
To maintain 10 pA bias current, the ICL7650CTV requires strict input guarding: clean the PCB with TCE/alcohol, coat with silicone/epoxy, and route a conductive guard ring around pins 6 (+INPUT) and 7 (−INPUT), tied to a low-impedance node near input voltage. Adjacent V+ (pin 5) and V− (pin 3) traces must be shielded to prevent leakage.
