This increased current shows as an increase in voltage drop across resistor R1 equal to I1*R1 on IN+ of the amplifier. This voltage contributes to the offset voltage of the amplifier. When common mode voltage is in the mid-range, the transistors are operating in the linear region and I1 is significantly small. The voltage drop due to I1 across R1 can be ignored as it is orders of magnitude smaller than the amplifier's input offset voltage. As the common mode voltage gets closer to one of the rails, the offset voltage generated due to I1 increases and becomes comparable to the amplifiers offset voltage. Application Information LMP7731 The LMP7731 is a single, low noise, rail-to-rail input and output, and low voltage amplifier. The low input voltage noise of only 2.9 nV/Hz with a 1/f corner at 3 Hz makes the LMP7731 ideal for sensor applications where DC accuracy is of importance. The LMP7731 has a high gain bandwidth of 22 MHz. This wide bandwidth enables use of the amplifier at higher gain settings while retaining usable bandwidth for the application. This is particularly beneficial when system designers need to use sensors with very limited output voltage range as it allows larger gains in one stage which in turn increases the signal to noise ratio. The LMP7731 has proprietary input bias cancellation circuitry on the input stages. This allows the LMP7731 to have only about 1.5 nA bias current with a bipolar input stage. This low input bias current, paired with the inherent lower input voltage noise of bipolar input stages makes the LMP7731 an excellent choice for precision applications. The combination of low input bias current, and low input voltage noise enables the user to achieve unprecedented accuracy and higher signal integrity. National Semiconductor is heavily committed to precision amplifiers and the market segment they serve. Technical support and extensive characterization data are available for sensitive applications or applications with a constrained error budget. The LMP7731 is offered in the space saving 5-Pin SOT-23 and 8-Pin SOIC packages. These small packages are ideal solutions for area constrained PC boards and portable electronics. 20175206 FIGURE 1. Input Bias Current Cancellation INPUT BIAS CURRENT CANCELLATION The LMP7731 has proprietary input bias current cancellation circuitry on their input stages. The LMP7731 has rail-to-rail input. This is achieved by having two input stages in parallel. Figure 1 shows only one of the input stages as the circuitry is symmetrical for both stages. INPUT VOLTAGE NOISE MEASUREMENT The LMP7731 has very low input voltage noise. The peak-topeak input voltage noise of the LMP7731 can be measured using the test circuit shown in Figure 2 20175255 FIGURE 2. 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz Noise Test Circuit The frequency response of this noise test circuit at the 0.1 Hz corner is defined by only one zero. The test time for the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz noise measurement using this configuration should not exceed 10 seconds, as this time limit acts as an www.national.com additional zero to reduce or eliminate the noise contributions of noise from frequencies below 0.1 Hz. Figure 3 shows typical peak-to-peak noise for the LMP7731 measured with the circuit in Figure 2 for the LMP7731. 14 DIODES BETWEEN THE INPUTS The LMP7731 has a set of anti-parallel diodes between the input pins as shown in Figure 5. These diodes are present to protect the input stage of the amplifier. At the same time, they limit the amount of differential input voltage that is allowed on the input pins. A differential signal larger than the voltage needed to turn on the diodes might cause damage to the diodes. The differential voltage between the input pins should be limited to 3 diode drops or the input current needs to be limited to 20 mA. 20175268 FIGURE 3. 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz Input Voltage Noise Measuring the very low peak-to-peak noise performance of the LMP7731, requires special testing attention. In order to achieve accurate results, the device should be warmed up for at least five minutes. This is so that the input offset voltage of the op amp settles to a value. During this warm up period, the offset can typically change by a few V because the chip temperature increases by about 30C. If the 10 seconds of the measurement is selected to include this warm up time, some of this temperature change might show up as the measured noise. Figure 4 shows the start-up drift of five typical LMP7731 units. 20175204 FIGURE 5. Anti-Parallel Diodes between Inputs 20175230 FIGURE 4. Start-Up Input Offset Voltage Drift 15 www.national.com LMP7731 During the peak-to-peak noise measurement, the LMP7731 must be shielded. This prevents offset variations due to airflow. Offset can vary by a few nV due to this airflow and that can invalidate measurements of input voltage noise with a magnitude which is in the same range. For similar reasons, sudden motions must also be restricted in the vicinity of the test area. The feed-through which results from this motion could increase the observed noise value which in turn would invalidate the measurement. LMP7731 DRIVING AN ADC Analog to Digital Converters, ADCs, usually have a sampling capacitor on their input. When the ADC's input is directly connected to the output of the amplifier a charging current flows from the amplifier to the ADC. This charging current causes a momentary glitch that can take some time to settle. There are different ways to minimize this effect. One way is to slow down the sampling rate. This method gives the amplifier sufficient time to stabilize its output. Another way to minimize the glitch caused by the switch capacitor is to have an external capacitor connected to the input of the ADC. This capacitor is chosen so that its value is much larger than the internal switching capacitor and it will hence provide the voltage needed to quickly and smoothly charge the ADC's sampling capacitor. Since this large capacitor will be loading the output of the amplifier as well, an isolation resistor is needed between the output of the amplifier and this capacitor. The isolation resistor, RISO, separates the additional load capacitance from the output of the amplifier and will also form a low-pass filter and can be designed to provide noise reduction as well as anti-aliasing. The drawback to having RISO is that it reduces signal swing since there is some voltage drop across it. Figure 6 (a) shows the ADC directly connected to the amplifier. To minimize the glitch in this setting, a slower sample rate needs to be used. Figure 6 (b) shows RISO and an external capacitor used to minimize the glitch. www.national.com 20175205 FIGURE 6.

Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements. TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in such safety-critical applications. TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use. TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
