LMV712 LMV712 Low Power, Low Noise, High Output, RRIO Dual Operational Amplifier with Independent Shutdown Literature Number: SNOS534G LMV712 Low Power, Low Noise, High Output, RRIO Dual Operational Amplifier with Independent Shutdown General Description Features The LMV712 duals are high performance BiCMOS operational amplifiers intended for applications requiring Rail-toRail inputs combined with speed and low noise. They offer a bandwidth of 5MHz and a slew rate of 5 V/s and can handle capacitive loads of up to 200pF without oscillation. The LMV712 is guaranteed to operate from 2.7V to 5.5V and offers two independent shutdown pins. This feature allows disabling of each device separately and reduces the supply current to less than 1A typical. The output voltage rapidly ramps up smoothly with no glitch as the amplifier comes out of the shutdown mode. The LMV712 with the shutdown feature is offered in space saving 10-Bump micro SMD and 10-Pin Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) packages. It is also offered in 10-Pin MSOP package. These packages are designed to meet the demands of small size, low power, and low cost required by cellular phones and similar battery operated portable electronics.

Figure 1 contains a simplified schematic of one channel of the LMV712. 10137031 FIGURE 1. Rail-to-Rail input is achieved by using in parallel, one NMOS differential pair (MN1 and MN2) and one PMOS differential pair (MP1 and MP2). When the common mode input voltage (VCM) is near V+, the NMOS pair is on and the PMOS pair is off. When VCM is near V-, the NMOS pair is off and the PMOS pair is on. When VCM is between V+ and V-, internal logic decides how much current each differential pair will get. This special logic ensures stable and low distortion amplifier operation within the entire common mode voltage range. Because both input stages have their own offset voltage (VOS) characteristic, the offset voltage of the LMV712 becomes a function of VCM. VOS has a crossover point at 1.4V above V-. Refer to the "VOS vs. VCM" curve in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. Caution should be taken in situations where input signal amplitude is comparable to VOS value and/or the design requires high accuracy. In these situations, it is necessary for the input signal to avoid the crossover point. The current coming out of the input differential pairs gets mirrored through two folded cascode stages (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) into the "class AB control" block. This circuitry generates voltage gain, defines the op amp's dominant pole and limits the maximum current flowing at the output stage. MN3 introduces a voltage level shift and acts as a high impedance to low impedance buffer. The output stage is composed of a PMOS and a NPN transistor in a common source/emitter configuration, delivering a rail-to-rail output excursion. The MN4 transistor ensures that the LMV712 output remains near V- when the amplifier is in shutdown mode. www.national.com SHUTDOWN PIN The LMV712 offers independent shutdown pins for the dual amplifiers. When the shutdown pin is tied low, the respective amplifier shuts down and the supply current is reduced to less than 1A. In shutdown mode, the amplifier's output level stays at V-. In a 2.7V operation, when a voltage between 1.5V to 2.7V is applied to the shutdown pin, the amplifier is enabled. As the amplifier is coming out of the shutdown mode, the output waveform ramps up without any glitch. This is demonstrated in Figure 2. 10137030 FIGURE 2. 10 PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD CONSIDERATION To properly bypass the power supply, several locations on a printed circuit board need to be considered. A 6.8F or greater tantalum capacitor should be placed at the point where the power supply for the amplifier is introduced onto the board. Another 0.1F ceramic capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the power supply pin of the amplifier. If the amplifier is operated in a single power supply, only the V+ pin needs to be bypassed with a 0.1F capacitor. If the amplifier is operated in a dual power supply, both V+ and V- pins need to be bypassed. It is good practice to use a ground plane on a printed circuit board to provide all components with a low inductive ground connection. Surface mount components in 0805 size or smaller are recommended in the LMV712 application circuits. Designers can take advantage of the micro SMD, MSOP and LLP miniature sizes to condense board layout in order to save space and reduce stray capacitance. 10137033 CAPACITIVE LOAD TOLERANCE The LMV712 can directly drive 200pF in unity-gain without oscillation. The unity-gain follower is the most sensitive configuration to capacitive loading. Direct capacitive loading reduces the phase margin of amplifiers. The combination of the amplifier's output impedance and the capacitive load induces phase lag. This results in either an under-damped pulse response or oscillation. To drive a heavier capacitive load, Figure 3 can be used. FIGURE 4. LATCHUP CMOS devices tend to be susceptible to latchup due to their internal parasitic SCR (silicon controlled rectifier) effects. The input and output pins look similar to the gate of the SCR. There is a minimum current required to trigger the SCR gate lead. The LMV712 is designed to withstand 150mA surge current on all the pins. Some resistive method should be used to isolate any capacitance from supplying excess current to the pins. In addition, like an SCR, there is a minimum holding current for any latchup mode. Limiting current to the supply pins will also inhibit latchup susceptibility. 10137032 FIGURE 3. 11 www.national.com LMV712 In Figure 3, the isolation resistor RISO and the load capacitor CL form a pole to increase stability by adding more phase margin to the overall system. The desired performance depends on the value of RISO. The bigger the RISO resistor value, the more stable VOUT will be. But the DC accuracy is degraded when the RISO gets bigger. If there were a load resistor in Figure 3, the output voltage would be divided by RISO and the load resistor. The circuit in Figure 4 is an improvement to the one in Figure 3 because it provides DC accuracy as well as AC stability. In this circuit, RF provides the DC accuracy by using feed-forward techniques to connect VIN to RL. CF and RISO serve to counteract the loss of phase margin by feeding the high frequency component of the output signal back to the amplifier's inverting input, thereby preserving phase margin in the overall feedback loop. Increased capacitive drive is possible by increasing the value of CF. This in turn will slow down the pulse response. A glitch-free output waveform is highly desirable in many applications, one of which is power amplifier control loops. In this application, the LMV712 is used to drive the power amplifier's power control. If the LMV712 did not have a smooth output ramp during turn on, it would directly cause the power amplifier to produce a glitch at its output. This adversely affects the performance of the system. To enable the amplifier, the shutdown pin must be pulled high. It should not be left floating in the event that any leakage current may inadvertently turn off the amplifier.
