Speaker: Fernando Gago Rodríguez (IAC) Characterization of the OPA350 operational amplifier at cryogenic temperatures • EMIR is an infrared multiobject spectrograph and imager for the Gran Telescopio de Canarias (GTC) in La Palma (Spain). • Its electronics uses commercial off-the-shelf components working at cryogenic temperatures to help keep signal integrity along the analogue chain. • The poster describes the procedures and results of the tests of the OPA350 operational amplifier used in the EMIR fan-out board working at 77K.
Speaker: Fernando Gago Rodríguez (IAC) Characterization of the OPA350 operational amplifier at cryogenic temperatures • Several parameters are measured at cryogenic temperatures and compared with datasheet values: input offset voltage, noise, bandwidth and slew rate. • Power on procedures and chip reliability at cryogenic temperatures are also studied. • These tests are part of a more ambitious plan aimed at getting a database of chips working at cryogenic temperatures. Knowing their behavior when cold will allow us to use them with guarantee.
Speaker: Fernando Gago Rodríguez (IAC) Characterization of the OPA350 operational amplifier at cryogenic temperatures • Main conclusions: • It is possible to use commercial chips at cryogenic temperatures greatly simplifying low noise design. • A detailed research of chip behavior at cryogenic temperature is worthwhile for the future.
