Consumes 60% less power than zero-drift devices, achieving maximum DC precision.

TI announced the launch of an ultra-high-precision operational amplifier (OPA) that consumes the industry's lowest power current.

The new LPV821 zero-drift nanopower operational amplifier, offering superior power-to-precision performance, enables maximum DC precision while consuming 60% less power than competing zero-drift devices. The LPV821 is ideal for precision applications such as wireless sensing nodes, home and factory automation equipment, and portable electronics.

The LPV821 operational amplifier, the latest addition to TI's low-power amplifier portfolio, enables engineers to design smaller, lighter, and more portable applications by enabling smaller battery capacities and longer system life.

The LPV821 delivers high precision with optimized offset, drift, and 1/f noise (flicker noise) while consuming only nanoamperes of power current. Its class-leading power current of 650 nA extends battery life and enables lower power budgets in precision systems than competing zero-drift products.
TI's zero-drift technology delivers a low initial offset of 10 V and offset drift of 0.02 V/°C, eliminating temperature drift and flicker noise to achieve maximum DC precision and enable dynamic error correction. Furthermore, self-calibration technology reduces system development costs and accelerates product development time.
