For the OP275, the noise is gained by approximately 1020 using the circuit shown in Figure 7. Any readings on the RFB* Audio Precision must then be divided by the gain.

This recovery time 490 100 is important in applications where the amplifier must recover quickly after a large abnormal transient event. The circuit shown Figure 7. Noise Test Fixture in Figure 10 was used to evaluate the OP275’s overload recovery time. The OP275 takes approximately 1.2 ms to recover to VOUT = Input Overcurrent Protection +10 V and approximately 1.5 µs to recover to VOUT = –10 V. The maximum input differential voltage that can be applied to the OP275 is determined by a pair of internal Zener diodes R1R21k 10k connected across its inputs. They limit the maximum differential input voltage to ±7.5 V. This is to prevent emitter-base junction 2 breakdown from occurring in the input stage of the OP275 when –1V very large differential voltages are applied.

Common-mode settling effects are exercised in this circuit in addition to the slew rate and band- width effects measured by the false-sum node method. Of course, a reasonably flat-top pulse is required as the stimulus. Figure 8.
