LM6142 Dual and LM6144 Quad
High Speed/Low Power 17 MHz Rail-to-Rail Input-Output
Operational Amplifiers
General Description
Using patent pending new circuit topologies, the LM6142/44
provides new levels of performance in applications where
low voltage supplies or power limitations previously made
compromise necessary. Operating on supplies of 1.8V to
over 24V, the LM6142/44 is an excellent choice for battery
operated systems, portable instrumentation and others.
The greater than rail-to-rail input voltage range eliminates
concern over exceeding the common-mode voltage range.
The rail-to-rail output swing provides the maximum possible
dynamic range at the output. This is particularly important
when operating on low supply voltages.
High gain-bandwidth with 650 µA/Amplifier supply current
opens new battery powered applications where previous
higher power consumption reduced battery life to unacceptable levels. Theabilityto drive large capacitive loads without
oscillating functionally removes this common problem.

LM6142/44 Application Ideas
The LM6142 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 causes 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 LM6142/44 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.
If the input signal exceeds the slew rate of the input stage,
the differential input voltage rises above two diode drops.
This 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
Figure 1
.)
As the overdrive increases, the opamp reacts better than a
conventional opamp. Large fast pulses will raise the slewrate to around 30V to 60V/µs.
This effect is most noticeable at higher supply voltages and
lower gains where incoming signals are likely to be large.
This new input circuit also eliminates the phase reversal
seen in many opamps when they are overdriven.
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 LM6142, 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.

LM6142/44 Application Ideas (Continued)
These features allow the LM6142 to drive capacitive loads
as large as 1000 pF at unity gain and not oscillate. The
scope photos (
Figure 3
and
Figure 4
) above show the
LM6142 driving a l000 pF load. In
Figure 3
, the upper trace
is with no capacitive load and the lower trace is with a 1000
pF load. Here we are operating on
±
12V supplies with a 20
Vp-p pulse. Excellent response is obtained with a C
f
of l0 pF.
In
Figure 4
, the supplies have been reduced to±2.5V, the
pulse is 4 Vp-p and C
f
is 39 pF.The best value for the compensation capacitor is best established after the board layout
is finished 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.
The circuit shown in
Figure 5
was used for these scope
photos.
Typical Applications
FISH FINDER/ DEPTH SOUNDER.
The LM6142/44 is an excellent choice for battery operated
fish finders. The low supply current, high gain-bandwidth and
full rail to rail output swing of the LM6142 provides an ideal
combination for use in this and similar applications.

Typical Applications (Continued)
ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER BUFFER
The high capacitive load driving ability, rail-to-rail input and
output range with the excellent CMR of 82 dB, make the
LM6142/44 a good choice for buffering the inputs of A to D
converters.
3 OPAMP INSTRUMENTATION AMP WITH
RAIL-TO-RAIL INPUT AND OUTPUT
Using the LM6144, 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 LM6144,
all of these problems are eliminated.
In this example, amplifiers A and B act as buffers to the differential stage (
Figure 6
). These buffers assure that the input
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.
The gain is set by the ratio of R2/R1 and R3 should equal R1
and R4 equal R2. Making R4 slightly smaller than R2 and
adding a trim pot equal to twice the difference between R2
and R4 will allow the CMR to be adjusted for optimum.
With both rail to rail input and output ranges, the inputs and
outputs are only limited by the supply voltages. Remember
that even with rail-to-rail output, the output can not swing
past the supplies so the combined common mode voltage
plus the signal should not be greater than the supplies or limiting will occur.
