LM6132 Dual and LM6134 Quad, Low Power 10 MHz Rail-to-Rail I/O Operational Amplifiers
April 2000
General Description
The LM6132/34 provides new levels of speed vs power performance in applications where low voltage supplies or
power limitations previously made compromise necessary.
With only 360 µA/amp supply current, the 10 MHz
gain-bandwidth ofthis device supports new portable applications where higher power devices unacceptably drain battery
life.
The LM6132/34 can be driven by voltages that exceed both
power supply rails, thus eliminating concerns over exceeding
the common-mode voltage range. The rail-to-rail output
swing capability provides the maximum possible dynamic
range at the output. This is particularly important when operating on low supply voltages. The LM6132/34 can also drive
large capacitive loads without oscillating.
Operating on supplies from 2.7V to over 24V,the LM6132/34
is excellent for a very wide range of applications, from battery operated systems with large bandwidth requirements to
high speed instrumentation.

The LM6132 brings a new level of ease of use to opamp system design.
With greater than rail-to-rail input voltage range concern
over exceeding the common-mode voltage range is eliminated.
Rail-to-rail output swing provides the maximum possible dynamic range at the output. This is particularly important
when operating on low supply voltages.
The high gain-bandwidth with low supply current opens new
battery powered applications, where high power consumption, previously reduced battery life to unacceptable levels.

To take advantage of these features, some ideas should be
kept in mind.
ENHANCED SLEW RATE
Unlike most bipolar opamps, the unique phase reversal
prevention/speed-up circuit in the input stage eliminates
phase reversal and allows the slew rate to be very much a
function of the input signal amplitude.
Figure 2
shows how excess input signal is routed around the
input collector-base junctions directly to the current mirrors.
The LM6132/34 input stage converts the input voltage
change to a current change. This current change drives the
current mirrors through the collectors of Q1–Q2, Q3–Q4
when the input levels are normal.

LM6132/LM6134
LM6132/34 Application Hints
(Continued)
If the input signal exceeds the slew rate of the input stage
and the differential input voltage rises above a diode drop,
the excess signal bypasses the normal input transistors,
(Q1–Q4), and is routed in correct phase through the two additional transistors, (Q5, Q6), directly into the current mirrors.
This rerouting of excess signal allows the slew-rate to increase by a factor of 10 to 1 or more. (See
As the overdrive increases, the opamp reacts better than a
conventional opamp. Large fast pulses will raise the slewrate to around 25V to 30V/µs.
Figure 1
.)
Slew Rate vs Differential V

VS=±12V
DS012349-40
FIGURE 1.
This effect is most noticeable at higher supply voltages and
lower gains where incoming signals are likely to be large.
This speed-up action adds stability to the system when driving large capacitive loads.
DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS
Capacitive loads decrease the phase margin of all opamps.
This is caused by the output resistance of the amplifier and
the load capacitance forming an R-C phase lag network.
This can lead to overshoot, ringing and oscillation. Slew rate
limiting can also cause additional lag. Most opamps with a
fixed maximum slew-rate will lag further and further behind
when driving capacitive loads even though the differential input voltage raises. With the LM6132, the lag causes the slew
rate to raise. The increased slew-rate keeps the output following the input much better. This effectively reduces phase
lag. After the output has caught up with the input, the differential input voltage drops down and the amplifier settles
rapidly.
These features allow the LM6132 to drive capacitive loads
as large as 500 pF at unity gain and not oscillate. The scope

f
±
2.5V, the pulse is
ished because the value is dependent on board stray capacity, the value of the feedback resistor, the closed loop gain
and, to some extent, the supply voltage.
Another effect that is common to all opamps is the phase
shift caused by the feedback resistor and the input capacitance. This phase shift also reduces phase margin. This effect is taken care of at the same time as the effect of the capacitive load when the capacitor is placed across the
feedback resistor.

Typical Applications
3 OPAMP INSTRUMENTATION AMP WITH
RAIL-TO-RAIL INPUT AND OUTPUT
Using the LM6134, a 3 opamp instrumentation amplifier with
rail-to-rail inputs and rail to rail output can be made. These
features make these instrumentation amplifiers ideal for
single supply systems.
Some manufacturers use a precision voltage divider array of
5 resistors to divide the common-mode voltage to get an input range of rail-to-rail or greater. The problem with this
method is that it also divides the signal, so to even get unity
gain, the amplifier must be run at high closed loop gains.
This raises the noise and drift by the internal gain factor and
lowers the input impedance. Any mismatch in these precision resistors reduces the CMR as well. Using the LM6134,
all of these problems are eliminated.
In this example, amplifiers A and B act as buffers to the differential stage (
impedance is over 100 MΩ and they eliminate the requirement for precision matched resistors in the input stage. They
also assure that the difference amp is driven from a voltage
source. This is necessary to maintain the CMR set by the
matching of R1–R2 with R3–R4.

FLAT PANEL DISPLAY BUFFERING
Three features of the LM6132/34 make it a superb choice for
TFT LCD applications. First, its low current draw (360 µA per
amplifier
applications such as in laptop computers. Second, since the
device operates down to 2.7V, it is a natural choice for next
generation 3V TFT panels. Last, but not least, the large capacitive drive capability of the LM6132 comes in very handy
in driving highly capacitive loads that are characteristic of
LCD display drivers.
The large capacitive drive capability of the LM6132/34 allows it to be used as buffers for the gamma correction reference voltage inputs of resistor-DAC type column (Source)
drivers in TFT LCD panels. This amplifier is also useful for
buffering only the center reference voltage input of
Capacitor-DAC type column (Source) drivers such as the
LMC750X series.

LM6132/LM6134
FIGURE 7.
Since for VGA and SVGA displays, the buffered voltages
must settle within approximately 4 µs, the well known technique of using a small isolation resistor in series with the amplifier’s output very effectively dampens the ringing at the
output.
With its wide supply voltage range of 2.7V to 24V), the
LM6132/34 can be used for a diverse range of applications.
The system designer is thus able to choose a single device
type that serves many sub-circuits in the system, eliminating
the need to specify multiple devices in the bill of materials.
Along with its sister parts, the LM6142 and LM6152 that
have the same wide supply voltage capability, choice of the
LM6132 in a design eliminates the need to search for multiple sources for new designs.
