LMV551/LMV552/LMV554
3 MHz, Micropower RRO Amplifiers
General Description
The LMV551/LMV552/LMV554 are high performance, low
power operational amplifiers implemented with National’s ad-
vanced VIP50 process. They feature 3 MHz of bandwidth
while consuming only 37 μA of current per amplifier, which is
an exceptional bandwidth to power ratio in this op amp class.
These amplifiers are unity gain stable and provide an excel-
lent solution for low power applications requiring a wide band-
width.
The LMV551/LMV552/LMV554 have a rail-to-rail output stage
and an input common mode range that extends below ground.
The LMV551/LMV552/LMV554 have an operating supply
voltage range from 2.7V to 5.5V. These amplifiers can oper-
ate over a wide temperature range (−40°C to 125°C) making
them a great choice for automotive applications, sensor ap-
plications as well as portable instrumentation applications.
The LMV551 is offered in the ultra tiny 5-Pin SC70 and 5-Pin
SOT-23 package. The LMV552 is offered in an 8-Pin MSOP
package. The LMV554 is offered in the 14-Pin TSSOP.

Applications Information
ADVANTAGES OF THE LMV551/LMV552/LMV554
Low Voltage and Low Power Operation
The LMV551/LMV552/LMV554 have performance guaran-
teed at supply voltages of 3V and 5V and are guaranteed to
be operational at all supply voltages between 2.7V and 5.5V.
For this supply voltage range, the LMV551/LMV552/LMV554
draw the extremely low supply current of less than 37 μA per
amp.
Wide Bandwidth
The bandwidth to power ratio of 3 MHz to 37 μA per amplifier
is one of the best bandwidth to power ratios ever achieved.
This makes these devices ideal for low power signal process-
ing applications such as portable media players and instru-
mentation.
Low Input Referred Noise
The LMV551/LMV552/LMV554 provide a flatband input re-
ferred voltage noise density of 70 nV/ , which is signifi-
cantly better than the noise performance expected from an
ultra low power op amp. They also feature the exceptionally
low 1/f noise corner frequency of 4 Hz. This noise specifica-
tion makes the LMV551/LMV552/LMV554 ideal for low power
applications such as PDAs and portable sensors.
Ground Sensing and Rail-to-Rail Output
The LMV551/LMV552/LMV554 each have 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. The input common mode range includes
the negative supply rail which allows direct sensing at ground
in a single supply operation.
Small Size
The small footprints of the LMV551/LMV552/LMV554 pack-
ages save space on printed circuit boards, and enable 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 amplifiers can be placed closer to the
signal source, reducing noise pickup and enhancing signal
integrity
STABILITY OF OP AMP CIRCUITS
Stability and Capacitive Loading
As seen in the Phase Margin vs. Capacitive Load graph, the
phase margin reduces significantly for CL greater than 100
pF. This is because the op amp is designed to provide the
maximum bandwidth possible for a low supply current. Sta-
bilizing them for higher capacitive loads would have required
either a drastic increase in supply current, or a large internal
compensation capacitance, which would have reduced the
bandwidth of the op amp. Hence, if the LMV551/LMV552/
LMV554 are to be used for driving higher capacitive loads,
they will have to be externally compensated.
20152603
FIGURE 1. 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 re-
spect to frequency. If this rate of decay, also known as the
rate of closure (ROC), remains the same until the op amp’s
unity gain bandwidth, 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 1). This increases the ROC to 40 dB/ decade and
causes instability.
9 www.national.com
LMV551/LMV552/LMV554
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
an ROC of 20 dB/decade, which ensures stability.
In the Loop Compensation
Figure 2 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 CL at higher frequencies.
20152604
FIGURE 2. In the Loop Compensation
The values for RS and CF are decided by ensuring that the
zero attributed to CF lies 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 pres-
ence of the zero, and that the ROC is maintained at 20 dB/
decade. For the circuit shown in Figure 2 the values of RS and
CF are given by Equation 1. Values of RS and CF required for
maintaining stability for different values of CL, as well as the
phase margins obtained, are shown in Table 1. RF, RIN, and
RL are to be 10 k, while ROUT is 340Ω.

TABLE 1.
CL (pF) RS (Ω) CF (pF) Phase Margin
(°)
50 340 8 47
100 340 15 42
150 340 22 40
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 RF and
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 com-
pensation is not viable. A simpler scheme for compensation
is shown in Figure 3. A resistor, RISO, is placed in series be-
tween the load capacitance and the output. This introduces a
zero in the circuit transfer function, which counteracts the ef-
fect of the pole formed by the load capacitance and ensures
stability. The value of RISO to be used should be decided de-
pending on the size of CL and the level of performance de-
sired. Values ranging from 5 to 50 are usually sufficient to
ensure stability. A larger value of RISO will result in a system
with less ringing and overshoot, but will also limit the output
swing and the short circuit current of the circuit.

Typical Application
ACTIVE FILTERS
With a wide unity gain bandwidth of 3 MHz, low input referred
noise density and a low power supply current, the LMV551/
LMV552/LMV554 are well suited for low-power filtering appli-
cations. Active filter topologies, such as the Sallen-Key low
pass filter shown in Figure 4, are very versatile, and can be
used to design a wide variety of filters (Chebyshev, Butter-
worth or Bessel). The Sallen-Key topology, in particular, can
be used to attain a wide range of Q, by using positive feed-
back to reject the undesired frequency range.
In the circuit shown in Figure 4, the two capacitors appear as
open circuits at lower frequencies and the signal is simply
buffered to the output. At high frequencies the capacitors ap-
pear as short circuits and the signal is shunted to ground by
one of the capacitors before it can be amplified. Near the cut-
off frequency, where the impedance of the capacitances is on
the same order as RG and RF, positive feedback through the
other capacitor allows the circuit to attain the desired Q.
