LPC661 LPC661 Low Power CMOS Operational Amplifier Literature Number: SNOS620A LPC661 Low Power CMOS Operational Amplifier General Description The LPC661 CMOS operational amplifier is ideal for operation from a single supply. It features a wide range of operating supply voltage from +5V to +15V, rail-to-rail output swing and an input common-mode range that includes ground. Performance limitations that have plagued CMOS amplifiers in the past are not a problem with this design. Input VOS, drift, and broadband noise as well as voltage gain (into 100 k and 5 k) are all equal to or better than widely accepted bipolar equivalents, while the supply current requirement is typically 55 A. This chip is built with National's advanced Double-Poly Silicon-Gate CMOS process. See the LPC660 datasheet for a Quad CMOS operational amplifier or the LPC662 data sheet for a Dual CMOS operational amplifier with these same features.

Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Note 2: Applies to both single supply and split supply operation. Continuous short circuit operation at elevated ambient temperature can result in exceeding the maximum allowed junction temperature of 150C. Output currents in excess of 30 mA over long term may adversely affect reliability. Note 3: The maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), JA and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is PD = (TJ(max)-TA)/JA. Note 4: Limits are guaranteed by testing or correlation. Note 5: V+ = 15V, VCM = 7.5V and RL connected to 7.5V. For sourcing tests, 7.5V VO 11.5V. For sinking tests, 2.5V VO 7.5V. Note 6: V+ = 15V. Connected as Voltage Follower with 10V step input. Number specified is the slower of the positive and negative slew rates. Note 7: For operating at elevated temperatures the device must be derated based on the thermal resistance JA with PD = (TJ-TA)/JA. Note 8: All numbers apply for packages soldered directly into a PC board. Note 9: Do not connect output to V+ when V+ is greater than 13V or reliability may be adversely affected.

Application Hints ing load resistance of 5 k or less, the gain will be reduced as indicated in the Electrical Characteristics. The op amp can drive load resistance as low as 500 without instability. AMPLIFIER TOPOLOGY The topology chosen for the LPC661 is unconventional (compared to general-purpose op amps) in that the traditional unity-gain buffer output stage is not used; instead, the output is taken directly from the output of the integrator, to allow rail-to-rail output swing. Since the buffer traditionally delivers the power to the load, while maintaining high op amp gain and stability, and must withstand shorts to either rail, these tasks now fall to the integrator. As a result of these demands, the integrator is a compound affair with an embedded gain stage that is doubly fed forward (via Cf and Cff) by a dedicated unity-gain compensation driver. In addition, the output portion of the integrator is a push-pull configuration for delivering heavy loads. While sinking current the whole amplifier path consists of three gain stages with one stage fed forward, whereas while sourcing the path contains four gain stages with two fed forward. COMPENSATING INPUT CAPACITANCE Refer to the LMC660 or LMC662 datasheets to determine whether or not a feedback capacitor will be necessary for compensation and what the value of that capacitor would be. CAPACITIVE LOAD TOLERANCE Like many other op amps, the LPC661 may oscillate when its applied load appears capacitive. The threshold of oscillation varies both with load and circuit gain. The configuration most sensitive to oscillation is a unity-gain follower. See the Typical Performance Characteristics. The load capacitance interacts with the op amp's output resistance to create an additional pole. If this pole frequency is sufficiently low, it will degrade the op amp's phase margin so that the amplifier is no longer stable at low gains. The addition of a small resistor (50 to 100) in series with the op amp's output, and a capacitor (5 pF to 10 pF) from inverting input to output pins, returns the phase margin to a safe value without interfering with lower-frequency circuit operation. Thus, larger values of capacitance can be tolerated without oscillation. Note that in all cases, the output will ring heavily when the load capacitance is near the threshold for oscillation. DS011227-6 FIGURE 1. LPC661 Circuit Topology The large signal voltage gain while sourcing is comparable to traditional bipolar op amps, for load resistance of at least 5 k. The gain while sinking is higher than most CMOS op amps, due to the additional gain stage; however, when drivwww.national.com 8 LPC661 Application Hints (Continued) DS011227-24 FIGURE 3. Compensating for Large Capacitive Loads with A Pull Up Resistor DS011227-7 FIGURE 2. Rx, Cx Improve Capacitive Load Tolerance PRINTED-CIRCUIT-BOARD LAYOUT FOR HIGH-IMPEDANCE WORK It is generally recognized that any circuit which must operate with less than 1000 pA of leakage current requires special layout of the PC board. When one wishes to take advantage of the ultra-low bias current of the LPC661, typically less than 0.04 pA, it is essential to have an excellent layout. Fortunately, the techniques for obtaining low leakages are quite simple. First, the user must not ignore the surface leakage of the PC board, even though it may sometimes appear acceptably low, because under conditions of high humidity or dust or contamination, the surface leakage will be appreciable. To minimize the effect of any surface leakage, lay out a ring of foil completely surrounding the LPC661's inputs and the terminals of capacitors, diodes, conductors, resistors, relay terminals, etc. connected to the op-amp's inputs. See Figure 4. To have a significant effect, guard rings should be placed on both the top and bottom of the PC board. This PC foil must then be connected to a voltage which is at the same voltage as the amplifier inputs, since no leakage current can flow between two points at the same potential. For example, a PC board trace-to-pad resistance of 1012, which is normally considered a very large resistance, could leak 5 pA if the trace were a 5V bus adjacent to the pad of an input. This would cause a 100 times degradation from the LPC660's actual performance. However, if a guard ring is held within 5 mV of the inputs, then even a resistance of 1011 would cause only 0.05 pA of leakage current, or perhaps a minor (2:1) degradation of the amplifier's performance. See Figures 5, 6, 7 for typical connections of guard rings for standard op-amp configurations. If both inputs are active and at high impedance, the guard can be tied to ground and still provide some protection; see Figure 8. Capacitive load driving capability is enhanced by using a pull up resistor to V+ (Figure 3). Typically a pull up resistor conducting 50 A or more will significantly improve capacitive load responses. The value of the pull up resistor must be determined based on the current sinking capability of the amplifier with respect to the desired output swing. Open loop gain of the amplifier can also be affected by the pull up resistor (see Electrical Characteristics). 9 www.national.com LPC661 Application Hints (Continued) DS011227-8 FIGURE 4.

Howland Current Pump Guard Ring Connections The designer should be aware that when it is inappropriate to lay out a PC board for the sake of just a few circuits, there is another technique which is even better than a guard ring on a PC board: Don't insert the amplifier's input pin into the board at all, but bend it up in the air and use only air as an insulator. Air is an excellent insulator. In this case you may have to forego some of the advantages of PC board construction, but the advantages are sometimes well worth the effort of using point-to-point up-in-the-air wiring. See Figure 9.

Simple Input Bias Current Test Circuit BIAS CURRENT TESTING The test method of Figure 10 is appropriate for bench-testing bias current with reasonable accuracy. To understand its operation, first close switch S2 momentarily. When S2 is opened, then A suitable capacitor for C2 would be a 5 pF or 10 pF silver mica, NPO ceramic, or air-dielectric. When determining the magnitude of I-, the leakage of the capacitor and socket must be taken into account. Switch S2 should be left shorted most of the time, or else the dielectric absorption of the capacitor C2 could cause errors. Similarly, if S1 is shorted momentarily (while leaving S2 shorted) where Cx is the stray capacitance at the + input.

However, this bias on the photodiode will cause photodiode leakage (also known as its dark current).
