GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP193/OP293 are single-supply operational amplifiers that
feature a combination of high precision, low supply current, and
the ability to operate at low voltages. For high performance in
single-supply systems, the input and output ranges include
ground, and the outputs swing from the negative rail to within
600 mV of the positive supply. For low voltage operation, the
OP193/OP293 can operate down to +1.7 V or ±0.85 V.
The combination of high accuracy and low power operation
make the OP193/OP293 useful for battery-powered equipment.
The p a r t’s low current drain and low voltage operation allow it
to continue performing long after other amplifiers have ceased
functioning either because of battery drain or headroom.
The OP193/OP293 are specified for single +2 V through dual
±15 V operation over the extended (−40°C to +125°C) temperature
range. They are available in SOIC surface-mount packages.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The OP193/OP293 operational amplifiers are single-supply,
micropower, precision amplifiers whose input and output ranges
both include ground. Input offset voltage (V
maximum, while the output delivers ±5 mA to a load. Supply
current is only 15 μA.
A simplified schematic of the input stage is shown in Figure 26.
The input transistors, Q1 and Q2, are PNP devices, which permit
the inputs to operate down to ground potential. The input transistors have resistors in series with the base terminals to protect
the junctions from overvoltage conditions. The second stage is
an NPN cascode that is buffered by an emitter follower before
driving the final PNP gain stage.
The OP193 includes connections to taps on the input load resistors, which can be used to null the input offset voltage, V
The OP293 have two additional transistors, Q7 and Q8. The
behavior of these transistors is discussed in the Output Phase
Reversal— and Output Phase Reversal— sections.
The output stage, shown in Figure 25, is a noninverting NPN
totem-pole configuration. Current is sourced to the load by
Emitter Follower Q1, while Q2 provides current sink capability.
When Q2 saturates, the output is pulled to within 5 mV of
ground without an external pull-down resistor. The totem-pole
output stage supplies a minimum of 5 mA to an external load,
even when operating from a single 3.0 V power supply.

By operating as an emitter follower, Q1 offers a high impedance
load to the final PNP collector of the input stage. Base drive to
Q2 is derived by monitoring Q1’s collector current. Transistor
Q5 tracks the collector current of Q1. When Q1 is on, Q5 keeps
Q4 off, and Current Source I1 keeps Q2 turned off. When Q1 is
driven to cutoff (that is, the output must move toward V−), Q5
allows Q4 to turn on. Q4’s collector current then provides the
base drive for Q3 and Q2, and the output low voltage swing is
set by Q2’s V
, which is about 5 mV.

DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS
The OP193/OP293 amplifiers are unconditionally stable with
capacitive loads less than 200 pF. However, the small signal,
unity-gain overshoot improves if a resistive load is added. For
example, transient overshoot is 20% when driving a 1000 pF,
10 kΩ load. When driving large capacitive loads in unity-gain
configurations, an in-the-loop compensation technique is
recommended, as illustrated in Figure 30.

INPUT OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
As previously mentioned, the OP193/OP293 op amps use a
PNP input stage with protection resistors in series with the
inverting and noninverting inputs. The high breakdown of the
PNP transistors, coupled with the protection resistors, provides
a large amount of input protection from overvoltage conditions.
The inputs can therefore be taken 20 V beyond either supply
without damaging the amplifier.
OUTPUT PHASE REVERSAL—OP193
The OP193’s input PNP collector-base junction can be forwardbiased if the inputs are brought more than one diode drop (0.7 V)
below ground. When this happens to the noninverting input,
Q4 of the cascode stage turns on and the output goes high. If
the positive input signal can go below ground, phase reversal
can be prevented by clamping the input to the negative supply
(that is, GND) with a diode. The reverse leakage of the diode
does add to the input bias current of the amplifier. If input bias
current is not critical, a 1N914 diode adds less than 10 nA of
leakage. However, its leakage current doubles for every 10°C
increase in ambient temperature. For critical applications, the
collector-base junction of a 2N3906 transistor adds only about
10 pA of additional bias current. To limit the current through
the diode under fault conditions, a 1 kΩ resistor is recommended
in series with the input. (The OP193’s internal current limiting
resistors do not protect the external diode.)
OUTPUT PHASE REVERSAL—OP293
The OP293 includes two lateral PNP transistors, Q7 and Q8, to
protect against phase reversal. If an input is brought more than
one diode drop (≈0.7 V) below ground, Q7 and Q8 combine to
level shift the entire cascode stage, including the bias to Q3 and
Q4, simultaneously. In this case, Q4 does not saturate and the
output remains low.
The OP293 does not exhibit output phase reversal for inputs up
to −5 V below V− at +25°C. The phase reversal limit at +125°C
is about −3 V. If the inputs can be driven below these levels, an
external clamp diode, as discussed in the previous section,
should be added.
OP193/OP293 can be operated over the entire useful life of the
cell. Figure 27 shows the typical discharge characteristic of a
1 Ah lithium cell powering the OP193 and OP293, with each
amplifier, in turn, driving 2.1 V into a 100 kΩ load.
Figure 27. Lithium Sulfur Dioxide Cell Discharge Characteristic with
OP193/OP293 and 100 kΩ Loads Input Offset Voltage Nulling
The OP193 provides two offset nulling terminals that can be
used to adjust the OP193’s internal V
. In general, operational
OS
amplifier terminals should never be used to adjust system offset
voltages. The offset nulling circuit of Figure 28 provides about
±7 mV of offset adjustment range. A 100 kΩ resistor placed in
series with the wiper arm of the offset null potentiometer, as shown
in Figure 29, reduces the offset adjustment range to 400 μV and
is recommended for applications requiring high null resolution.
Offset nulling does not adversely affect TCV
performance,

BATTERY-POWERED APPLICATIONS
OP193/OP293 series op amps can be operated on a minimum
supply voltage of 1.7 V, and draw only 13 μA of supply current
per amplifier from a 2.0 V supply. In many battery-powered cir-

cuits, OP193/OP293 devices can be continuously operated for
thousands of hours before requiring battery replacement, thus
reducing equipment downtime and operating cost.
High performance portable equipment and instruments frequently use lithium cells because of their long shelf life, light
weight, and high energy density relative to older primary cells.
Most lithium cells have a nominal output voltage of 3 V and are
noted for a flat discharge characteristic. The low supply voltage
requirement of the OP193/OP293, combined with the flat
discharge characteristic of the lithium cell, indicates that the

A MICROPOWER FALSE-GROUND GENERATOR
Some single-supply circuits work best when inputs are biased
above ground, typically at ½ of the supply voltage. In these
cases, a false ground can be created by using a voltage divider
buffered by an amplifier. One such circuit is shown in Figure 30.
This circuit generates a false-ground reference at ½ of the supply
voltage, while drawing only about 27 μA from a 5 V supply.
The circuit includes compensation to allow for a 1 μF bypass
capacitor at the false-ground output. The benefit of a large
capacitor is that not only does the false ground present a very
low dc resistance to the load, but its ac impedance is low as well.
The OP193 can both sink and source more than 5 mA, which
improves recovery time from transients in the load current.
Figure 30. A Micropower False-Ground Generator
A BATTERY-POWERED VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The circuit of Figure 31 is a battery-powered voltage reference
that draws only 17 μA of supply current. At this level, two AA
alkaline cells can power this reference for more than 18 months.
At an output voltage of 1.23 V at 25°C, drift of the reference is
only 5.5 μV/°C over the industrial temperature range. Load
regulation is 85 μV/mA with line regulation at 120 μV/V.
Design of the reference is based on the Brokaw band gap core
technique. Scaling of Resistor R1 and Resistor R2 produces
unequal currents in Q1 and Q2. The resulting ΔV
creates a temperature-proportional voltage (PTAT), which, in
turn, produces a larger temperature-proportional voltage across
R4 and R5, V1. The temperature coefficient of V1 cancels (first
order) the complementary to absolute temperature (CTAT)
coefficient of V
voltage temperature coefficient is at a minimum. Band gap
references can have start-up problems. With no current in R1
and R2, the OP193 is beyond its positive input range limit and
has an undefined output state. Shorting Pin 5 (an offset adjust
pin) to ground forces the output high under these circumstances
. When adjusted to 1.23 V at 25°C, output

A SINGLE-SUPPLY CURRENT MONITOR
Current monitoring essentially consists of amplifying the voltage
drop across a resistor placed in series with the current to be

tolerated, and with low precision op amps, this greatly limits the
overall resolution. The single-supply current monitor of Figure 32
has a resolution of 10 μA and is capable of monitoring 30 mA
of current. This range can be adjusted by changing the current
sense resistor, R1. When measuring total system current, it may
be necessary to include the supply current of the current monitor,
which bypasses the current sense resistor, in the final result.
This current can be measured and calibrated (together with the
residual offset) by adjustment of the offset trim potentiometer,
R2. This produces a deliberate temperature dependent offset.
However, the supply current of the OP193 is also proportional
to temperature, and the two effects tend to track. Voltage developed at the noninverting input and amplified by (1 + R4/R5)

A SINGLE-SUPPLY INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER
Designing a true single-supply instrumentation amplifier with
zero-input and zero-output operation requires special care. The
traditional configuration, shown in Figure 33, depends upon
Amplifier A1’s output being at 0 V when the applied commonmode input voltage is at 0 V. Any error at the output is multiplied
by the gain of A2. In addition, current flows through Resistor R3
as A2’s output voltage increases. A1’s output must remain at 0 V
while sinking the current through R3, or a gain error results. With
a maximum output voltage of 4 V, the current through R3 is
only 2 μA, but this still produces an appreciable error.
Figure 33. A Conventional Instrumentation Amplifier
One solution to this problem is to use a pull-down resistor. For
example, if R3 = 20 kΩ, then the pull-down resistor must be less
than 400 Ω. However, the pull-down resistor appears as a fixed
load when a common-mode voltage is applied. With a 4 V
common-mode voltage, the additional load current is 10 mA,
which is unacceptable in a low power application.
Figure 34 shows a better solution. A1’s sink current is provided
by a pair of N-channel FET transistors, configured as a current
mirror. With the values shown, the sink current of Q2 is about
340 μA. Thus, with a common-mode voltage of 4 V, the additional load current is limited to 340 μA vs. 10 mA with a 400 Ω
resistor.

TRANSMITTER
A simple temperature to 4 mA to 20 mA transmitter is shown
in Figure 35. After calibration, this transmitter is accurate to
±0.5°C over the −50°C to +150°C temperature range. The
transmitter operates from 8 V to 40 V with supply rejection
better than 3 ppm/V. One half of the OP293 is used to buffer
the TEMP pin, and the other half regulates the output current
to satisfy the current summation at its noninverting input.
The change in output current with temperature is the derivative
of the following transfer function:

From the formulas, it can be seen that if the span trim is adjusted
before the zero trim, the two trims are not interactive, which
greatly simplifies the calibration procedure.
Calibration of the transmitter is simple. First, the slope of the
output current vs. temperature is calibrated by adjusting the
span trim, R7. A couple of iterations may be required to be sure
the slope is correct.
When the span trim has been adjusted, the zero trim can be
made. Adjusting the zero trim does not affect the gain.
The zero trim can be set at any known temperature by adjusting
R5 until the output current equals:

ranges.

A MICROPOWER VOLTAGE CONTROLLED
OSCILLATOR
The OP293 CMOS analog switch forms the precision VCO of
Figure 36. This circuit provides triangle and square wave
outputs and draws only 50 μA from a single 5 V supply. A1 acts
as an integrator; S1 switches the charging current symmetrically
to yield positive and negative ramps. The integrator is bounded
by A2, which acts as a Schmitt trigger with a precise hysteresis
of 1.67 V, set by Resistor R5, Resistor R6, and Resistor R7, and
associated CMOS switches. The resulting output of A1 is a
triangle wave with upper and lower levels of 3.33 V and 1.67 V.
The output of A2 is a square wave with almost rail-to-rail swing.
With the components shown, frequency of operation is given by
the equation:
However, the frequency can easily be changed by varying C1.
The circuit operates well up to 500 Hz.
