FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Precision, Wide Voltage
Range, Gain Selectable
Funnel Amplifier
The LT
®
1997-2 is an attenuating (funnel) difference ampli-
fier that can be used to translate large differential signals to
the low voltage range compatible with ADCs. It combines
a precision operational amplifier with highly-matched re-
sistors to form a one-chip solution to attenuate and level
shift voltages accurately using no external components.
It comes with three standard pin-selectable gain options
(0.1, 0.2 and 0.25), which can be further combined to
form gains from 0.0455 to 0.55 (attenuations of 1.82 to
22) with accuracy of 0.006% (60ppm). The LT1997-2 also
works across a very wide input common-mode voltage
range (±255V), enabling robust operation in demanding
industrial environments. Its excellent resistor matching
results in a common mode rejection ratio of greater than
105dB.
The resistors maintain their excellent matching over
temperature; the matching temperature coefficient is
guaranteed less than 1ppmC. The resistors are extremely
linear with voltage, resulting in a gain nonlinearity of less
than 2ppm.
The LT1997-2 is fully specified at 5V and ±15V supplies
and from –40°C to 125°C. The device is available in space
saving 16-lead MSOP and 4mm × 4mm DFN14 packages.

The l denotes the specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range, –40°C < TA < 85°C for I-grade parts, –40°C < TA < 125°C for H-grade parts, otherwise specifications are at
TA=25°C. Difference Amplifier Configuration, V+ = 5V, V = 0V, VCM = VOUT = VREF = VREF1 = VREF2 = Mid-Supply. VCMOP is the
common mode voltage of the internal op amp.
Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: See Common Mode Voltage Range in the Applications Information
section of this data sheet for other considerations when taking +INA/
–INA/+INB/–INB/+INC/–INC pins to ±270V.
Note 3: A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature
below absolute maximum. This depends on the power supply, input
voltages and the output current.
Note 4: The LT1997I-2 is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range of –40°C to 85°C. The LT1997H-2 is guaranteed
functional over the operating temperature range of –40°C to 125°C.
Note 5: The LT1997I-2 is guaranteed to meet specified performance
from –40°C to 85°C. The LT1997H-2 is guaranteed to meet specified
performance from –40°C to 125°C.
Note 6: This parameter is not 100% tested.
Note 7: The input voltage range is guaranteed by the ±25V CMRR tests.
The Input Voltage Range numbers specified in the table guarantee that the
internal op amp operates in its normal operating region. The Input voltage
range can be higher if the internal op amp operates in its Over-The-Top
®
operating region. See Common Mode Voltage Range in the Applications
Information section to determine the valid input voltage range under
various operating conditions.
Note 8: Input impedance is tested by a combination of direct
measurements and correlation to the CMRR and gain error tests.
Note 9: Offset voltage, offset voltage drift and PSRR are defined as
referred to the internal op amp. The following shows the calculation of
output offset: In the case of balanced source resistance, VOS,OUT = (VOS
• NOISEGAIN) + (IOS • 25k) + (IB • 25k • (1– RP/RN)) where RP and RN
are the total resistance at the op amp positive and negative terminal,
respectively.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 1. Difference Amplifier with Dual-Supply
Operation (Gain=0.1)
Introduction
The LT1997-2 is a precision, high voltage funnel ampli-
fier combined with a highly-matched resistor network. It
can easily be configured into many different gain circuits
without adding external components, as it will be shown
in this data sheet. The LT1997-2 provides the resistors
and op amp together in a small package in order to save
board space and reduce complexity. Highly accurate
measurement circuits can be easily constructed with the
LT1997-2. The circuits can be tailored to specific measure-
ment applications.
Common Mode Voltage Range
The common mode voltage range of the LT1997-2 is set
by the voltage range allowed on the LT1997-2’s input pins
and by the input voltage range of the internal op amp.
The internal op amp of LT1997-2 has 2 operating regions:
a) if the common-mode voltage at the inputs of the
internal op amp (VCMOP) is between V and V+ 1.75V,
the op amp operates in its normal region;
b) If VCMOP is between V+–1.75V and V+ 76V, the op
amp continues to operate, but in its Over-The-Top (OTT)
region with degraded performance (see Over-The-Top
Operation section of this data sheet for more detail).
The LT1997-2 will not operate correctly if the common-
mode voltage at the inputs of the internal op amp (VCMOP)
is below V, but the part will not be damaged as long as
VCMOP is greater than V–25V and the junction tempera-
ture of the LT1997-2 does not exceed 150ºC.
The voltage on LT1997-2’s input pins should never be
higher than V–+270V or lower than V––270V under any
circumstances.
The common-mode voltage at the inputs of the internal
op amp (VCMOP) is determined by the voltages on pins
+INA, +INB, +INC and REF (see the Calculating Input Volt-
age Range section). This condition is true provided that
the internal op amp’s output is not clipped and feedback
maintains the internal op amp’s inputs at the same voltage.
In addition to the limits mentioned above, the common
mode input voltage of the amplifier should be chosen so
that the input resistors do not dissipate too much power.
The power dissipated in a 250k resistor must be less than
1.8W. It must be less than 0.9W for the 125k resistor and
less than 0.72W for the 100k resistor. For most applica-
tions, the pin voltage limitations will be reached before
the resistor power limitation is reached.
Calculating Input Voltage Range
Figure 2 shows the LT1997-2 in the generalized case
of a difference amplifier, with the inputs shorted for the
common mode calculation. The values of RF and RG are
dictated by how the positive inputs (+INA, +INB, +INC)
and REF pin are connected.
By superposition we can write:
VCMOP =VEXT

Keep in mind that the above MAX and MIN values for input

The negative inputs (–INA, –INB, INC) are not limited by
the internal op amp common mode range (VCMOP) because
they do not affect it. They are limited by the output swing
of the amplifier (and obviously by the allowed voltage
range for the input pins).
Over-The-Top Operation
When the input common mode voltage of the internal op
amp (VCMOP) in the LT1997-2 is biased near or above the
V+ supply, the op amp is operating in the Over-The-Top
(OTT) region. The op amp continues to operate with an
input common mode voltage of up to 76V above V (re-
gardless of the positive power supply voltage V+), but
its performance is degraded. The op amp’s input bias
currents change from under ±2nA to 14µA. The op amp’s
input offset current rises to ±50nA, which adds ±1.25mV
to the output offset voltage.
In addition, when operating in the Over-The-Top region,
the differential input impedance of the internal op amp
decreases from 1MΩ in normal operation to approximately
3.7kΩ in Over-The-Top operation. This resistance appears
across the summing nodes of the internal op amp and
boosts noise and offset while decreasing speed. Noise
and offset will increase by 80%. The bandwidth will be
reduced by 45%. For more detail on Over-The-Top opera-
tion, consult the LT6015 data sheet.
Difference Amplifiers
The LT1997-2 is ideally suited to be used as a difference
amplifier. Figure 3 shows the basic 4-resistor difference
amplifier and the LT1997-2. A difference gain of 0.2 (at-
tenuation = 5) is shown, but can be altered by additional
dashed connections. By connecting the 100k resistors in
parallel with the 25k feedback resistors, the gain is reduced
to 0.16 (attenuation = 6.25). Of course there are many
possible gains and Figure 4 shows circuit schematics of
some of those difference amplifier gains.
Note that the common mode voltage at the inputs of the
internal op amp (VCMOP) is set by the voltages at pins
+INA, +INB, +INC and REF.

Difference Amplifier: Additional Gains Using Cross-
Coupling
Figure 5 shows the basic difference amplifier as well as
the LT1997-2 with cross-coupled inputs. The additional
dashed connections reduce the differential gain from 0.25
to 0.15. Using this method, additional gains are achievable
and a few example schematics of the difference amplifiers
using cross-coupling are shown in Figure 6. To summarize,
Table1 shows a complete list of all difference amplifier
gains (attenuations) and how they are constructed using
(both conventional or cross-coupling) pin strapping.
Note that there are 38 unique gains ranging from 0.0455
to 0.55 (corresponding to attenuations from 1.8182 to
22) which can be achieved with the LT1997-2 using no
external components.

Reference Resistors
In the preceding discussions, the Reference resistor is
shown as a single 25k resistor. This is true in the DFN
package. In the MSOP package the reference resistor is
split into two 50k resistors (Figure 7). Tying the REF1 and
REF2 pins to the same voltage produces the same reference
voltage as tying the VREF pin in the DFN package to that
voltage. Connecting REF1 and REF2 to different voltages
produces an effective reference voltage that is the average
of VREF1 and VREF2. This feature is especially useful when
the desired reference voltage is half way between the sup-

<90ppm
Shutdown
The LT1997-2 has a shutdown pin (SHDN). Under normal
operation this pin should be tied to V+ or allowed to float.
Tying this pin 2.5V or more below V+ will cause the part
to enter a low power state. The supply current is reduced
to less than 25µA and the op amp output becomes high
impedance. The voltages at the input pins can still be
present even in shutdown mode.
Supply Voltage
The positive supply pin of the LT1997-2 should be bypassed
with a small capacitor (typically 0.1µF) as close to the supply
pins as possible. When driving heavy loads, an additional
4.7µF electrolytic capacitor should be added. When using
split supplies, the same is true for the V supply pin.
Output
The output of the LT1997-2 can typically swing to within
50mV of either rail with no load and is capable of sourcing
and sinking approximately 30mA at 25°C. The LT1997-2
is internally compensated to drive at least 0.5nF of ca-
pacitance under any output loading conditions. For larger
capacitive loads, a 0.22µF capacitor in series with a 150Ω
resistor between the output and ground will compensate
the amplifier to drive capacitive loads greater than 0.5nF.
Distortion
The LT1997-2 features excellent distortion performance
when the internal op amp is operating in the normal op-
erating region. Operating the LT1997-2 with the internal
op amp in the over the top region will increase distortion
due to the lower loop gain of the op amp. Operating the
LT1997-2 with input common mode voltages that go from
the normal to Over-The-Top operation will significantly
degrade the LT1997-2’s linearity as the op amp must
transition between two different input stages. Driving
resistive loads significantly smaller than the 25k internal
feedback resistor will also degrade the amplifier’s linearity
performance.
High Voltage Pin Spacing
For applications with very high input voltages, the
LT1997-2 pinout eases the printed circuit board (PCB)
layout burden. Voltages at +INA, –INA, +INB, and –INB
input pins are separated from other pins by virtue of
unpopulated pin locations, as illustrated in the Pin Con-
figuration section of this data sheet.
Power Dissipation Considerations
Because of the ability of the LT1997-2 to operate on power
supplies up to ±25V, to withstand very high input volt-
ages and to drive heavy loads, there is a need to ensure
the die junction temperature does not exceed 150°C. The
LT1997-2 is housed in DF14 (θJA = 45°C/W, θJC = 3°C/W)
and MS16 (θJA = 130°C/W) packages.
In general, the die junction temperature (TJ) can be es-
timated from the ambient temperature (TA), the device’s
power dissipation (PD) and the thermal resistance of the
device and board (θJA).
TJ = TA + PDθJA
The thermal resistance from the junction to the ambient
environment (θJA) is the sum of the thermal resistance
from the junction to the exposed pad (θJC) and the thermal
resistance from the exposed pad to the ambient environ-
ment (θCA). The θCA value depends on how much PCB
metal is connected to the exposed pad in the board. The
more PCB metal that is used, the lower θCA and θJA will be.
Power is dissipated by the amplifiers quiescent current, by
the output current driving a resistive load, and by the input
current driving the LT1997-2’s internal resistor network.

corresponding to the different groups of the LT1997-2’s

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
pad, the lower the thermal resistance. Connecting a large
amount of PCB metal to the exposed pad can reduce the
θJA to even less than 45°C/W. Use multiple vias from the
exposed pad to the V plane. The exposed pad is electrically
connected to the V pin. In addition, a heat sink may be
necessary if operating near maximum junction temperature.
The MSOP package has no exposed pad and a higher
thermal resistance (θJA = 130°C/W). It should not be used
in applications which have a high ambient temperature,
require driving a heavy load, or require an extreme input
voltage.
Thermal Shutdown
For safety, the LT1997-2 will enter shutdown mode when
the die temperature rises to approximately 163°C. This
thermal shutdown has approximately 9°C of hysteresis
requiring the die temperature to cool 9°C before enabling
the amplifier again.
ESD Protection
The LT1997-2 is protected by a number of ESD structures.
The structures are shown in Figure 9.
The ESD structures serve to protect the internal circuitry
but also limit signal swing on certain nodes. The structures
on the internal op amp inputs limit the voltage on these
nodes to 0.3V below V and 80V above V. The voltage
on the REF (DFN), REF1 (MSOP) and REF2 (MSOP) pins
are limited to 0.3V below V and 60V above V. The volt-
age on the SHDN pin is limited to 0.3V below V and 0.3V
above V+.
Direct Line Voltage Measurement
Since the LT1997-2 can withstand up to ±255V at its input
pins, configurations with the highest attenuation factors
allow for direct sensing of the 60Hz, 120VAC line voltage.
The circuit shown in Figure 10 directly measures the line
and neutral signals. The ground of the circuit can reason-
ably connect to earth ground. The neutral voltage level will
typically hover near earth. The ability of the LT1997-2 to
sense high voltages with varying common mode levels
enables this extremely simple implementation.
High Side Large Voltage Measurement
In some applications, an electrical potential develops
relative to a high line voltage. As an example, some LED
current control power conversion topologies place the
LED at the high voltage. Even more interestingly, the high
line may be moving. Off-line LED conversion such as in
modern light bulbs sometimes use LEDs pegged to the
rectified line voltage.
The circuit in Figure 11 uses the LT3590 to control LED
current. A LT1997-2 configured for a gain of 0.08V/V can
enable detection of an LED open circuit fault condition.
With the LED open circuited, the voltage across the LED
(which is being sensed by the LT1997-2) rises, and at
41.25V the LT1997-2 output rises above 3.3V, indicating
a fault condition.
A large voltage referred to the rectified AC mains can be
attenuated and shifted to a system’s low voltage circuitry.
Figure 12 shows this kind of function. Off-line LED lighting
that employs nonisolated buck power conversion is one
such example.
