Typical Applications
OP42AZ/883 is suitable for 6 applications: High-Speed Data Acquisition, Precision Instrumentation, Active Filters, Aerospace and Defense, Medical Instrumentation, Test and Measurement.
High-Speed Data Acquisition
The OP42AZ/883's 58 V/µs slew rate and 10 MHz bandwidth make it ideal for driving high-speed ADCs in data acquisition systems. Its fast settling time ensures accurate conversion of high-frequency signals, while the JFET input minimizes loading on sensors. In a typical ADC driver circuit, the op amp buffers the sensor output and provides gain, maintaining signal integrity up to several megahertz. The low input bias current of 80 pA is crucial for high-impedance sources, reducing offset errors. For optimal performance, use a 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor on each supply pin and a small series resistor (e.g., 50 Ω) at the output to isolate capacitive loads.
Recommended
Precision Instrumentation
In precision instrumentation, the OP42AZ/883 provides high accuracy with 94 dB CMRR and 80,000 voltage gain. It is used in strain gauge amplifiers, thermocouple conditioners, and precision voltage references. The low offset voltage of 300 µV and low drift ensure accurate measurements over temperature. The military temperature range (-55°C to +125°C) allows deployment in harsh environments. For bridge circuits, the op amp's high input impedance prevents loading, and its low noise contributes to high resolution. Designers should use precision resistors (0.1% tolerance) in the feedback network to maintain overall accuracy.
Recommended
Active Filters
The OP42AZ/883 is well-suited for active filter designs, such as Butterworth or Chebyshev low-pass filters, due to its 10 MHz gain-bandwidth product and high slew rate. It can implement filters with cutoff frequencies up to 1 MHz while maintaining stability. The JFET input provides high input impedance, allowing the use of high-value resistors without offset errors. In a Sallen-Key topology, the op amp's low output impedance drives the RC network effectively. For high-Q filters, ensure adequate phase margin by selecting appropriate component values. The device's low distortion ensures clean signal processing in communication systems.
Recommended
Aerospace and Defense
The OP42AZ/883 is designed for military and aerospace applications, with a hermetic CERDIP package and full -55°C to +125°C operation. It is used in avionics signal conditioning, radar receivers, and guidance systems. The high slew rate and bandwidth support fast signal processing, while the low bias current ensures accuracy in sensor interfaces. The device's reliability in extreme conditions is critical for mission-critical systems. For space applications, additional radiation hardening may be required, but the OP42AZ/883 provides a solid baseline. Designers should follow military standards for derating and screening.
Recommended
Medical Instrumentation
In medical devices, the OP42AZ/883 is used in ECG, EEG, and patient monitoring systems where precision and low noise are essential. Its high CMRR rejects common-mode interference from the body, and the low input bias current minimizes electrode polarization. The wide temperature range allows use in sterilization environments. The op amp's fast settling is beneficial for pulsed signals in defibrillators. For safety, ensure proper isolation and compliance with medical standards (IEC 60601). The device's low power consumption (6 mA) is acceptable for battery-powered portable monitors.
Recommended
Test and Measurement
The OP42AZ/883 is a key component in test equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators. Its high slew rate and bandwidth enable accurate reproduction of fast waveforms, while the low distortion ensures signal fidelity. In a function generator, the op amp can drive the output stage with minimal settling time. The device's precision characteristics make it suitable for calibration instruments. For high-frequency measurements, use proper PCB layout with ground planes and short traces to minimize parasitic capacitance. The military temperature rating allows use in field-deployed test equipment.

Design Notes
The OP42AZ/883 operates from dual supplies up to ±18V. Use 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors close to the V+ and V- pins to decouple high-frequency noise. For optimal performance, add 10 µF tantalum capacitors in parallel for bulk decoupling, especially when driving heavy loads.
For high-speed operation, use a ground plane and keep traces short to minimize parasitic inductance and capacitance. Place the feedback resistor close to the inverting input to reduce stray capacitance. Avoid routing high-impedance inputs near noisy digital lines.
The high slew rate can cause ringing when driving capacitive loads. Add a small series resistor (e.g., 50 Ω) at the output to isolate the capacitance. Also, ensure the input common-mode voltage does not exceed the supply rails to prevent latch-up.
