LMV341/LMV342/LMV344
Single with Shutdown/Dual/Quad General Purpose, 2.7V,
Rail-to-Rail Output, 125˚C, Operational Amplifiers
General Description
The LMV341/342/344 are single, dual, and quad low voltage, and low power Operational Amplifiers. They are designed specifically for low voltage portable applications.
Other important product characteristics are low input bias
current, rail-to-rail output, and wide temperature range.
The patented class AB turnaround stage significantly reduces the noise at higher frequencies, power consumption,
and offset voltage. The PMOS input stage provides the user
with ultra-low input bias current of 20fA (typical) and high
input impedance.
The industrial-plus temperature range of -40˚C to 125˚C
allows the LMV341/342/344 to accommodate a broad range
of extended environment applications. LMV341 expands National Semiconductor’s Silicon Dust
fering enhancements in size, speed, and power savings. The
LMV341/342/344 are guaranteed to operate over the voltage
range of 2.7V to 5.0V and all have rail-to-rail output.
The LMV341 offers a shutdown pin that can be used to
disable the device. Once in shutdown mode, the supply
current is reduced to 45pA (typical). The LMV341/342/344
have 29nV Voltage Noise at 10KHz, 1MHz GBW, 1.0V/µs
Slew Rate, 0.25mVos, and 0.1µA shutdown current
(LMV341.)
The LMV341 is offered in the tiny SC70-6L package, the
LMV342 in space saving MSOP-8 and SOIC-8, and the
LMV344 in TSSOP-14 and SOIC-14. These small package
amplifiers offer an ideal solution for applications requiring
™
amplifier portfolio of-
minimum PC board footprint. Applications with area constrained PC board requirements include portable electronics
such as cellular handsets and PDAs.

LMV341/342/344
The LMV341/342/344 family of amplifiers features low voltage, low power, and rail-to-rail output operational amplifiers
designed for low voltage portable applications. The family is
designed using all CMOS technology. This results in an ultra
low input bias current. The LMV341 has a shutdown option,
which can be used in portable devices to increase battery
life.
A simplified schematic of the LMV341/342/344 family of
amplifiers is shown in Figure 1. The PMOS input differential
pair allows the input to include ground. The output of this
differential pair is connected to the Class AB turnaround
stage. This Class AB turnaround has a lower quiescent
current, compared to regular turnaround stages. This results
in lower offset, noise, and power dissipation, while slew rate
equals that of a conventional turnaround stage. The output
of the Class AB turnaround stage provides gate voltage to
the complementary common-source transistors at the output
stage. These transistors enable the device to have rail-to-rail
output.
LMV341/LMV342/LMV344
ances, along with the ability of the shutdown pin to be
derived from a separate power source, make LMV341 a
good choice for sample and hold circuits. The sample clock
should be connected to the shutdown pin of the amplifier to
rapidly turn the device on or off.
Figure 2 shows the schematic of a simple sample and hold
circuit. When the sample clock is high the first amplifier is in
normal operation mode and the second amplifier acts as a
buffer. The capacitor, which appears as a load on the first
amplifier, will be charging at this time. The voltage across the
capacitor is that of the non-inverting input of the first amplifier
since it is connected as a voltage-follower. When the sample
clock is low the first amplifier is shut off, bringing the output
impedance to a high value. The high impedance of this
output, along with the very high impedance on the input of
the second amplifier, prevents the capacitor from discharging. There is very little voltage droop while the first amplifier
is in shutdown mode. The second amplifier, which is still in
normal operation mode and is connected as a voltage follower, also provides the voltage sampled on the capacitor at
its output.
20030453
FIGURE 1. Simplified Schematic
CLASS AB TURNAROUND STAGE AMPLIFIER
This patented folded cascode stage has a combined class
AB amplifier stage, which replaces the conventional folded
cascode stage. Therefore, the class AB folded cascode
stage runs at a much lower quiescent current compared to
conventional folded cascode stages. This results in significantly smaller offset and noise contributions. The reduced
offset and noise contributions in turn reduce the offset voltage level and the voltage noise level at the input of the
LMV341/342/344. Also the lower quiescent current results in
a high open-loop gain for the amplifier. The lower quiescent
current does not affect the slew rate of the amplifier nor its
ability to handle the total current swing coming from the input
stage.
The input voltage noise of the device at low frequencies,
below 1kHz, is slightly higher than devices with a BJT input
stage; However the PMOS input stage results in a much
lower input bias current and the input voltage noise drops at
frequencies above 1kHz.
SAMPLE AND HOLD CIRCUIT
The lower input bias current of the LMV341 results in a very
high input impedance. The output impedance when the device is in shutdown mode is quite high. These high imped-

FIGURE 2. Sample and Hold Circuit
SHUTDOWN FEATURE
The LMV341 is capable of being turned off in order to
conserve power and increase battery life in portable devices.
Once in shutdown mode the supply current is drastically
reduced, 1µA maximum, and the output will be "tri-stated."
The device will be disabled when the shutdown pin voltage is
pulled low. The shutdown pin should never be left unconnected. Leaving the pin floating will result in an undefined
operation mode and the device may oscillate between shutdown and active modes.
The LMV341 typically turns on 2.8µs after the shutdown
voltage is pulled high. The device turns off in less than 400ns
after shutdown voltage is pulled low. Figure 3 and Figure 4
show the turn-on and turn-off time of the LMV341, respectively. In order to reduce the effect of the capacitance added
to the circuit by the scope probe, in the turn-off time circuit a
resistive load of 600Ω is added. Figure 5 and Figure 6 show
the test circuits used to obtain the two plots.

LOW INPUT BIAS CURRENT
The LMV341/LMV342/LMV344 Amplifiers have a PMOS input stage. As a result, they will have a much lower input bias
current than devices with BJT input stages. This feature
makes these devices ideal for sensor circuits. A typical curve
of the input bias current of the LMV341 is shown in Figure 7.
