DESCRIPTION
The LM6211 is a wide bandwidth, low noise op amp with a wide supply voltage range and a low input bias
current. The LM6211 operates with a single supply voltage of 5V to 24V, is unity gain stable, has a ground-
sensing CMOS input stage, and offers rail-to-rail output swing.
The LM6211 is designed to provide optimal performance in high voltage, low noise systems. The LM6211 has a
unity gain bandwidth of 20 MHz and an input referred voltage noise density of 5.5 nV/√Hz at 10 kHz. The
LM6211 achieves these specifications with a low supply current of only 1 mA. The LM6211 has a low input bias
current of 2.3 pA, an output short circuit current of 25 mA and a slew rate of 5.6 V/us. The LM6211 also features
a low common-mode input capacitance of 5.5 pF which makes it ideal for use in wide bandwidth and high gain
circuits. The LM6211 is well suited for low noise applications that require an op amp with very low input bias
currents and a large output voltage swing, like active loop-filters for wide-band PLLs. A low total harmonic
distortion, 0.01% at 1 kHz with loads as high as 600Ω, also makes the LM6211 ideal for high fidelity audio and
microphone amplifiers.
The LM6211 is available in the small SOT-23 package, allowing the user to implement ultra-small and cost
effective board layouts.
Typical Application
These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.

APPLICATION NOTES
ADVANTAGES OF THE LM6211
High Supply Voltage, Low Power Operation
The LM6211 has performance ensured at supply voltages of 5V and 24V. The LM6211 is ensured to be
operational at all supply voltages between 5V and 24V. In this large range of operation, the LM6211 draws a
fairly constant supply current of 1 mA, while providing a wide bandwidth of 20 MHz. The wide operating range
makes the LM6211 a versatile choice for a variety of applications ranging from portable instrumentation to
industrial control systems.
Low Input Referred Noise
The LM6211 has very low flatband input referred voltage noise, 5.5 nV/√Hz. The 1/f corner frequency, also very
low, is about 400 Hz. The CMOS input stage allows for an extremely low input current (2 pA) and a very low
input referred current noise (0.01 pA/√Hz). This allows the LM6211 to maintain signal fidelity and makes it ideal
for audio, wireless or sensor based applications.
Low Input Bias Current and High Input Impedance
The LM6211 has a CMOS input stage, which allows it to have very high input impedance, very small input bias
currents (2 pA) and extremely low input referred current noise (0.01 pA/√Hz). This level of performance is
essential for op amps used in sensor applications, which deal with extremely low currents of the order of a few
nanoamperes. In this case, the op amp is being driven by a sensor, which typically has a source impedance of
tens of MΩ. This makes it essential for the op amp to have a much higher impedance.
Low Input Capacitance
The LM6211 has a comparatively small input capacitance for a high voltage CMOS design. Low input
capacitance is very beneficial in terms of driving large feedback resistors, required for higher closed loop gain.
Usually, high voltage CMOS input stages have a large input capacitance, which when used in a typical gain
configuration, interacts with the feedback resistance to create an extra pole. The extra pole causes gain-peaking
and can compromise the stability of the op amp. The LM6211 can, however, be used with larger resistors due to
its smaller input capacitance, and hence provide more gain without compromising stability. This also makes the
LM6211 ideal for wideband transimpedance amplifiers, which require a wide bandwidth, low input referred noise
and low input capacitance.
RRO, Ground Sensing and Current Limiting
The LM6211 has a rail-to-rail output stage, which provides the maximum possible output dynamic range. This is
especially important for applications requiring a large output swing, like wideband PLL synthesizers which need
an active loop filter to drive a wide frequency range VCO. The input common mode range includes the negative
supply rail which allows direct sensing at ground in a single supply operation. The LM6211 also has a short
circuit protection circuit which limits the output current to about 25 mA sourcing and 38 mA sinking, and allows
the LM6211 to drive short circuit loads indefinitely. However, while driving short circuit loads care should be
taken to prevent the inputs from seeing more than ±0.3V differential voltage, which is the absolute maximum
differential input voltage.
Small Size
The small footprint of the LM6211 package saves space on printed circuit boards, and enables the design of
smaller and more compact electronic products. Long traces between the signal source and the op amp make the
signal path susceptible to noise. By using a physically smaller package, the LM6211 can be placed closer to the
signal source, reducing noise pickup and enhancing signal integrity

STABILITY OF OP AMP CIRCUITS
Stability and Capacitive Loading
The LM6211 is designed to be unity gain stable for moderate capacitive loads, around 100 pF. That is, if
connected in a unity gain buffer configuration, the LM6211 will resist oscillation unless the capacitive load is
higher than about 100 pF. For higher capacitive loads, the phase margin of the op amp reduces significantly and
it tends to oscillate. This is because an op amp cannot be designed to be stable for high capacitive loads without
either sacrificing bandwidth or supplying higher current. Hence, for driving higher capacitive loads, the LM6211
needs to be externally compensated.
Figure 35. Gain vs. Frequency for an Op Amp
An op amp, ideally, has a dominant pole close to DC, which causes its gain to decay at the rate of 20 dB/decade
with respect to frequency. If this rate of decay, also known as the rate of closure (ROC), remains at 20
dB/decade at the unity gain bandwidth of the op amp, the op amp is stable. If, however, a large capacitance is
added to the output of the op amp, it combines with the output impedance of the op amp to create another pole
in its frequency response before its unity gain frequency (Figure 35). This increases the ROC to 40 dB/decade
and causes instability.
In such a case a number of techniques can be used to restore stability to the circuit. The idea behind all these
schemes is to modify the frequency response such that it can be restored to a ROC of 20 dB/decade, which
ensures stability.
In the Loop Compensation
Figure 36 illustrates a compensation technique, known as ‘in the loop’ compensation, that employs an RC
feedback circuit within the feedback loop to stabilize a non-inverting amplifier configuration. A small series
resistance, RS, is used to isolate the amplifier output from the load capacitance, CL, and a small capacitance, CF,
is inserted across the feedback resistor to bypass CLat higher frequencies.

The values for RSand CFare decided by ensuring that the zero attributed to CFlies at the same frequency as the
pole attributed to CL. This ensures that the effect of the second pole on the transfer function is compensated for
by the presence of the zero, and that the ROC is maintained at 20 dB/decade. For the circuit shown in Figure 36
the values of RSand CFare given by Equation 1.Table 1 shows different values of RSand CFthat need to be
used for maintaining stability with different values of CL, as well as the phase margins to be expected. RFand RIN
are assumed to be 10 kΩ, RLis taken as 2 kΩ, while ROUT is taken to be 60Ω.

Although this methodology provides circuit stability for any load capacitance, it does so at the price of bandwidth.
The closed loop bandwidth of the circuit is now limited by RSand CF.
Compensation by External Resistor
In some applications it is essential to drive a capacitive load without sacrificing bandwidth. In such a case, in the
loop compensation is not viable. A simpler scheme for compensation is shown in Figure 37. A resistor, RISO, is
placed in series between the load capacitance and the output. T110his introduces a zero in the circuit transfer
function, which counteracts the effect of the pole formed by the load capacitance, and ensures stability.
Figure 37. Compensation By Isolation Resistor
The value of RISO to be used should be decided depending on the size of CLand the level of performance
desired. Values ranging from 5Ωto 50Ωare usually sufficient to ensure stability. A larger value of RISO will result
in a system with lesser ringing and overshoot, but will also limit the output swing and the short circuit current of
the circuit.
Stability and Input Capacitance
In certain applications, for example I-V conversion, transimpedance photodiode amplification and buffering the
output of current-output DAC, capacitive loading at the input of the op amp can endanger stability. The
capacitance of the source driving the op amp, the op amp input capacitance and the parasitic/wiring capacitance
contribute to the loading of the input. This capacitance, CIN, interacts with the feedback network to introduce a
peaking in the closed loop gain of the circuit, and hence causes instability.

Figure 38. Compensating for Input Capacitance
This peaking can be eliminated by adding a feedback capacitance, CF, as shown in Figure 38. This introduces a
zero in the feedback network, and hence a pole in the closed loop response, and thus maintains stability. An
optimal value of CFis given by Equation 2. A simpler approach is to select CF= (R1/R2)CIN for a 90° phase
margin. This approach, however, limits the bandwidth excessively.
Typical Applications
ACTIVE LOOP FILTER FOR PLLs
A typical phase locked loop, or PLL, functions by creating a negative feedback loop in terms of the phase of a
signal. A simple PLL consists of three main components: a phase detector, a loop filter and a voltage controlled
oscillator (VCO). The phase detector compares the phase of the output of the PLL with that of a reference signal,
and feeds the error signal into the loop filter, thus performing negative feedback. The loop filter performs the
important function of averaging (or low-pass filtering) the error and providing the VCO with a DC voltage, which
allows the VCO to modify its frequency such that the error is minimized. The performance of the loop filter affects
a number of specifications of the PLL, like its frequency range, locking time and phase noise.
Since a loop filter is a very noise sensitive application, it is usually suggested that only passive components be
used in its design. Any active devices, like discrete transistors or op amps, would add significantly to the noise of
the circuit and would hence worsen the in-band phase noise of the PLL. But newer and faster PLLs, like TI’s
LMX2430, have a power supply voltage of less than 3V, which limits the phase-detector output of the PLL. If a
passive loop filter is used with such circuits, then the DC voltage that can be provided to the VCO is limited to
couple of volts. This limits the range of frequencies for which the VCO, and hence the PLL, is functional. In
certain applications requiring a wider operating range of frequencies for the PLL, like set-top boxes or base
stations, this level of performance is not adequate and requires active amplification, hence the need for active
loop filters.
An active loop filter typically consists of an op amp, which provides the gain, accompanied by a three or four pole
RC filter. The non-inverting input of the op amp is biased to a fixed value, usually the mid-supply of the PLL,
while a feedback network provides the gain as well as one, or two, poles for low pass filtering. Figure 39
illustrates a typical active loop filter.

SNOSAH2C –FEBRUARY 2006–REVISED MARCH 2013
Certain performance characteristics are essential for an op amp if it is to be used in a PLL loop filter. Low input
referred voltage and current noise are essential, as they directly affect the noise of the filter and hence the phase
noise of the PLL. Low input bias current is also important, as bias current affects the level of ‘reference spurs’,
artifacts in the frequency spectrum of the PLL caused by mismatch or leakage at the output of the phase
detector. A large input and output swing is beneficial in terms of increasing the flexibility in biasing the op amp.
The op amp can then be biased such that the output range of the PLL is mapped efficiently onto the input range
of the VCO.
With a CMOS input, ultra low input bias currents (2 pA) and low input referred voltage noise (5.5 nV/√Hz), the
LM6211 is an ideal op amp for using in a PLL active loop filter. The LM6211 has a ground sensing input stage, a
rail-to-rail output stage, and an operating supply range of 5V - 24V, which makes it a versatile choice for the
design of a wide variety of active loop filters.
Figure 41 shows the LM6211 used with the LMX2430 to create an RF frequency synthesizer. The LMX2430
detects the PLL output, compares it with its internal reference clock and outputs the phase error in terms of
current spikes. The LM6211 is used to create a loop filter which averages the error and provides a DC voltage to
the VCO. The VCO generates a sine wave at a frequency determined by the DC voltage at its input. This circuit
can provide output signal frequencies as high as 2 GHz, much higher than a comparative passive loop filter.
Compared to a similar passive loop filter, the LM6211 doesn’t add significantly to the phase noise of the PLL,
except at the edge of the loop bandwidth, as shown in Figure 40. A peaking of loop gain is expected, since the
loop filter is deliberately designed to have a wide bandwidth and a low phase margin so as to minimize locking
time.

ADC INPUT DRIVER
A typical application for a high performance op amp is as an ADC driver, which delivers the analog signal
obtained from sensors and actuators to ADCs for conversion to the digital domain and further processing.
Important requirements in this application are a slew rate high enough to drive the ADC input and low input
referred voltage and current noise. If an op amp is used with an ADC, it is critical that the op amp noise does not
affect the dynamic range of the ADC. The LM6211, with low input referred voltage and current noise, provides a
great solution for this application. For example, the LM6211 can be used to drive an ADS121021, a 12-bit ADC
from TI. If it provides a gain of 10 to a maximum input signal amplitude of 100 mV, for a bandwidth as wide as
100 kHz, the average noise seen at the input of the ADC is only 44.6 µVrms. Hence the dynamic range of the
ADC, measured in Effective Number of Bits or ENOB, is only reduced by 0.3 bits, despite amplifying the input
signal by a gain of 10. Low input bias currents and high input impedance also help as they prevent the loading of
the sensor and allow the measurement system to function over a large range.
Figure 42 shows a circuit for monitoring fluid pressure in a hydraulic system, in which the LM6211 is used to
sense the error voltage from the pressure sensor. Two LM6211 amplifiers are used to make a difference
amplifier which senses the error signal, amplifies it by a gain of 100, and delivers it to the ADC input. The ADC
converts the error voltage into a pressure reading to be displayed and drives the DAC, which changes the
voltage driving the resistance bridge sensor. This is used to control the gain of the pressure measurement circuit,
such that the range of the sensor can be modified to obtain the best resolution possible.

DAC OUTPUT AMPLIFIER
Op amps are often used to improve a DAC's output driving capability. High performance op amps are required as
I-V converters at the outputs of high resolution current output DACs. Since most DACs operate with a single
supply of 5V, a rail-to-rail output swing is essential for this application. A low offset voltage is also necessary to
prevent offset errors in the waveform generated. Also, the output impedance of DACs is quite high, more than a
few kΩin some cases, so it is also advisable for the op amp to have a low input bias current. An op amp with a
high input impedance also prevents the loading of the DAC, and hence, avoids gain errors. The op amp should
also have a slew rate which is fast enough to not affect the settling time of the DAC output.
The LM6211, with a CMOS input stage, ultra low input bias current, a wide bandwidth (20 MHz) and a rail-to-rail
output swing for a supply voltage of 24V is an ideal op amp for such an application. Figure 43 shows a typical
circuit for this application. The op amp is usually expected to add another time constant to the system, which
worsens the settling time, but the wide bandwidth of the LM6211 (20 MHz) allows the system performance to
improve without any significant degradation of the settling time.

AUDIO PREAMPLIFIER
With low input referred voltage noise, low supply voltage and low supply current, and low harmonic distortion, the
LM6211 is ideal for audio applications. Its wide unity gain bandwidth allows it to provide large gain over a wide
frequency range and it can be used to design a preamplifier to drive a load of as low as 600Ωwith less than
0.001% distortion. Two amplifier circuits are shown in Figure 44 and Figure 45.Figure 44 is an inverting
amplifier, with a 10 kΩfeedback resistor, R2,anda1kΩinput resistor, R1, and hence provides a gain of −10.
Figure 45 is a non-inverting amplifier, using the same values for R1and R2, and provides a gain of 11. In either of
these circuits, the coupling capacitor CC1 decides the lower frequency at which the circuit starts providing gain,
while the feedback capacitor CFdecides the frequency at which the gain starts dropping off. Figure 46 shows the
frequency response of the circuit in Figure 44 with different values of CF.

TRANSIMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER
A transimpedance amplifier converts a small input current into a voltage. This current is usually generated by a
photodiode. The transimpedance gain, measured as the ratio of the output voltage to the input current, is
expected to be large and wide-band. Since the circuit deals with currents in the range of a few nA, low noise
performance is essential. The LM6211, being a CMOS input op amp, provides a wide bandwidth and low noise
performance while drawing very low input bias current, and is hence ideal for transimpedance applications.
A transimpedance amplifier is designed on the basis of the current source driving the input. A photodiode is a
very common capacitive current source, which requires transimpedance gain for transforming its miniscule
current into easily detectable voltages. The photodiode and amplifier’s gain are selected with respect to the
speed and accuracy required of the circuit. A faster circuit would require a photodiode with lesser capacitance
and a faster amplifier. A more sensitive circuit would require a sensitive photodiode and a high gain. A typical
transimpedance amplifier is shown in Figure 47. The output voltage of the amplifier is given by the equation
VOUT =−IINRF. Since the output swing of the amplifier is limited, RFshould be selected such that all possible
values of IIN can be detected.
The LM6211 has a large gain-bandwidth product (20 MHz), which enables high gains at wide bandwidths. A rail-
to-rail output swing at 24V supply allows detection and amplification of a wide range of input currents. A CMOS
input stage with negligible input current noise and low input voltage noise allows the LM6211 to provide high
fidelity amplification for wide bandwidths. These properties make the LM6211 ideal for systems requiring wide-
band transimpedance amplification.
Figure 47. Photodiode Transimpedance Amplifier
The following parameters are used to design a transimpedance amplifier: the amplifier gain-bandwidth product,
A0; the amplifier input capacitance, CCM; the photodiode capacitance, CD; the transimpedance gain required, RF;
and the amplifier output swing. Once a feasible RFis selected using the amplifier output swing, these numbers
can be used to design an amplifier with the desired transimpedance gain and a maximally flat frequency
response. The input common-mode capacitance with respect to VCM for the LM6211 is give in Figure 48.

Figure 48. Input Common-Mode Capacitance vs. VCM
An essential component for obtaining a maximally flat response is the feedback capacitor, CF. The capacitance
seen at the input of the amplifier, CIN, combined with the feedback resistor, RF, generates a phase lag which
causes gain-peaking and can destabilize the circuit. CIN is usually just the sum of CDand CCM. The feedback
capacitor CFcreates a pole, fPin the noise gain of the circuit, which neutralizes the zero in the noise gain, fZ,
created by the combination of RFand CIN. If properly positioned, the noise gain pole created by CFcan ensure
that the slope of the gain remains at 20 dB/decade till the unity gain frequency of the amplifier is reached, thus
ensuring stability. As shown in Figure 50, fPis positioned such that it coincides with the point where the noise
gain intersects the op amp’s open loop gain. In this case, fPis also the overall 3 dB frequency of the
transimpedance amplifier. The value of CFneeded to make it so is given by Equation 2. A larger value of CF
causes excessive reduction of bandwidth, while a smaller value fails to prevent gain peaking and maintain
stability.
(2)
Calculating CFfrom Equation 2 can sometimes return unreasonably small values (<1 pF), especially for high
speed applications. In these cases, it is often more practical to use the circuit shown in Figure 49 in order to
allow more reasonable values. In this circuit, the capacitance CF' is (1+ RB/RA) times the effective feedback
capacitance, CF. A larger capacitor can now be used in this circuit to obtain a smaller effective capacitance.
Figure 49. Modifying CF
For example, if a CFof 0.5 pF is needed, while only a 5 pF capacitor is available, RBand RAcan be selected
such that RB/RA= 9. This would convert a CF' of 5 pF into a CFof 0.5 pF. This relationship holds as long as RA

SENSOR INTERFACES
The low input bias current and low input referred noise of the LM6211 make it ideal for sensor interfaces. These
circuits are required to sense voltages of the order of a few μV, and currents amounting to less than a nA, and
hence the op amp needs to have low voltage noise and low input bias current. Typical applications include infra-
red (IR) thermometry, thermocouple amplifiers and pH electrode buffers. Figure 51 is an example of a typical
circuit used for measuring IR radiation intensity, often used for estimating the temperature of an object from a
distance. The IR sensor generates a voltage proportional to I, which is the intensity of the IR radiation falling on
it. As shown in Figure 51, K is the constant of proportionality relating the voltage across the IR sensor (VIN) to the
radiation intensity, I. The resistances RAand RBare selected to provide a high gain to amplify this voltage, while
CFis added to filter out the high frequency noise.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6) Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish
value exceeds the maximum column width.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
