AMPLIFIER TOPOLOGY
The LMC6062 incorporates a novel op-amp design topology
that enables it to maintain rail-to-rail output swing even when
driving a large load. Instead of relying on a push-pull unity
gain output buffer stage, the output stage is taken directly
from the internal integrator, which provides both low output
impedance and large gain. Special feed-forward compensation design techniques are incorporated to maintain stability
over a wider range of operating conditions than traditional
micropower op-amps. These features make the LMC6062
both easier to design with, and provide higher speed than
products typically found in this ultra-low power class.
COMPENSATING FOR INPUT CAPACITANCE
It is quite common to use large values of feedback resistance for amplifiers with ultra-low input current, like the
LMC6062.
Although the LMC6062 is highly stable over a wide range of
operating conditions, certain precautions must be met to
achieve the desired pulse response when a large feedback
resistor is used. Large feedback resistors and even small
values of input capacitance, due to transducers, photodiodes, and circuit board parasitics, reduce phase margins.
When high input impedances are demanded, guarding of the
LMC6062 is suggested. Guarding input lines will not only re-

(See

The effect of input capacitance can be compensated for by
adding a capacitor. Place a capacitor, C

FIGURE 1. Canceling the Effect of Input Capacitance
CAPACITIVE LOAD TOLERANCE
All rail-to-rail output swing operational amplifiers have voltage gain in the output stage. A compensation capacitor is
normally included in this integrator stage. The frequency location of the dominate pole is affected by the resistive load
on the amplifier.Capacitive load driving capability can be optimized by using an appropriate resistive load in parallel with
the capacitive load (see typical curves).
Direct capacitive loading will reduce the phase margin of
many op-amps. Apole in the feedback loop is created by the
combination of the op-amp’s output impedance and the capacitive load. This pole induces phase lag at the unity-gain
crossover frequency of the amplifier resulting in either an oscillatory or underdamped pulse response. With a few external components, op amps can easily indirectly drive capacitive loads, as shown in
Figure 2
.
fier 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).

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 LMC6062, typically less
than 10 fA, it is essential to have an excellent layout. Fortunately, the techniques of 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 LMC6062’s inputs and the
terminals of capacitors, diodes, conductors, resistors, relay
terminals etc. connected to the op-amp’s inputs, as in
4
. To have a significant effect, guard rings should be placed
Figure
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 10
12
Ω, which is normally considered a very large resistance, could leak 5 pA if
the trace were a 5V bus adjacent to the pad of the input. This
would cause a 100 times degradation from the LMC6062’s
actual performance. However, if a guard ring is held within
5 mV of the inputs, then even a resistance of 10
cause only 0.05 pA of leakage current. See
Figure 5

for typical connections of guard rings for standard op-amp
configurations.

, R1 and C1 serve to counteract the
loss of phase margin by feeding the high frequency component of the output signal back to the amplifier’s inverting input, thereby preserving phase margin in the overall feedback
loop.
Capacitive load driving capability is enhanced by using a pull
up resistor to V

load responses. The value of the pull up resistor must be determined based on the current sinking capability of the ampli-

(a) Inverting Amplifier
Latchup
CMOS devices tend to be susceptible to latchup due to their
internal parasitic SCReffects. The (I/O) input and outputpins
look similar to the gate of the SCR. There is a minimum current required to trigger the SCR gate lead. The LMC6062
and LMC6082 are designed to withstand 100 mA surge current on the I/O pins. Some resistive method should be used
to isolate any capacitance from supplying excess current to
the I/O pins. In addition, like an SCR, there is a minimum
holding current for any latchup mode. Limiting current to the
supply pins will also inhibit latchup susceptibility.

FIGURE 5. Typical Connections of Guard Rings
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
