PRODUCTION DATA
Op amps vary with regard to the susceptibility of the device to electromagnetic interference (EMI). If conducted EMI enters the op amp, the dc offset observed at the amplifier output may shift from the nominal value while EMI is present. This shift is a result of signal rectification associated with the internal semiconductor junctions. While all op-amp pin functions can be affected by EMI, the signal input pins are likely to be the most susceptible. The ALM2402F-Q1 incorporates an internal input low-pass filter that reduces the amplifiers response to EMI. Both common-mode and differential mode filtering are provided by this filter.
Texas Instruments has developed the ability to accurately measure and quantify the immunity of an operational amplifier over a broad frequency spectrum extending from 10 MHz to 990 MHz. The EMI rejection ratio (EMIRR) metric allows op amps to be directly compared by the EMI immunity. Detailed information can also be found in the EMI Rejection Ratio of Operational Amplifiers application report, available for download from www.ti.com.
