Product Specifications
OP2177ARMZ - ADI Dual Precision Op-Amp, 15uV Offset, 0.2uV/C Drift, MSOP-8
In Stock - Ready to Ship
The OP2177ARMZ is Analog Devices' benchmark precision dual operational amplifier, delivering 15uV typical offset voltage with an ultra-low 0.2uV/C drift — performance that eliminates external trimming in virtually all DC-precision applications. Each channel combines 1.3MHz gain-bandwidth, 8nV/rtHz voltage noise, 500pA input bias current, and only 0.5mA supply current across a wide 5V to 30V supply range. The dual-channel MSOP-8 package (3x3mm) provides two precision amplifiers in the footprint of a single SOIC-8. Outputs are stable with capacitive loads exceeding 1000pF with no external compensation. From bridge/load-cell signal conditioning to thermocouple amplifiers and medical instrumentation, the OP2177 is the gold standard for precision dual op-amp designs.

Product Details
Precision DC Performance — No Trimming Required
The OP2177 achieves 15uV typical offset voltage through Analog Devices' advanced laser-trimming and DigiTrim technology at wafer level. Combined with 0.2uV/C drift, the amplifier maintains DC accuracy across the full -40C to +125C temperature range without external offset nulling circuits.
Ultra-Low Bias Current: 0.5nA typical input bias current minimizes voltage errors across high-impedance sources (thermocouples, pH probes, photodiodes). Unlike JFET-input precision op-amps, the OP2177 uses a bipolar input stage with bias current cancellation, achieving nanoamp-level bias while maintaining the superior voltage noise and offset drift of bipolar technology.
Wide Supply + Stability: 5V to 30V operation with capacitive load drive >1000pF eliminates the need for external isolation resistors. The dual channel in MSOP-8 saves 50% PCB area versus two single op-amps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the OP2177ARMZ used for?
The OP2177ARMZ is a precision dual op-amp for bridge/load cell signal conditioning, thermocouple amplifiers, strain gauge instrumentation, precision current sensing, medical sensor front-ends, and data acquisition. Its 15uV offset eliminates external trimming in virtually all DC-precision circuits.
How does the offset drift affect my circuit?
With 0.2uV/C drift, a 100C temperature change adds only 20uV of additional offset — comparable to the initial 15uV offset. This means total offset over the full -40 to +125C range stays within approximately 50uV typical, making the OP2177 suitable for 12-16 bit precision systems without auto-zero or chopper stabilization.
Can this op-amp run from a single 5V supply?
Yes. The OP2177 operates from +5V to +30V single supply. The input common-mode range includes ground (0V), and the output swings within ~300mV of ground and ~300mV of the positive rail. For true rail-to-rail operation down to 0V, use a rail-to-rail output op-amp such as AD8628.
How does OP2177 compare to OPA2277 or LT1013?
OP2177 is ADI's part; OPA2277 (TI) and LT1013 (ADI) are competing precision dual op-amps. OP2177/OPA2277: 15-25uV offset, similar specs. LT1013: ~150uV offset, lower precision. The OP2177 and OPA2277 are functionally equivalent and often used interchangeably in precision designs. Check your specific circuit requirements for offset, noise, and supply range.
What is the difference between ARMZ and ARZ packages?
ARMZ = MSOP-8 (Mini Small Outline Package, 3x3mm). ARZ = SOIC-8 (Small Outline IC, 5x6mm). Same silicon, different package. Choose ARMZ for space-constrained designs; choose ARZ for easier hand-soldering and prototyping. Both are RoHS-compliant and electrically identical.
