LMV710/LMV711/LMV715 Low Power, RRIO Operational Amplifiers with High Output Current
Drive and Shutdown Option
General Description
The LMV710/LMV711/LMV715 are BiCMOS operational amplifiers with a CMOS input stage. These devices have greater
than RR input common mode voltage range, rail-to-rail output
and high output current drive. They offer a bandwidth of 5 MHz
and a slew rate of 5 V/µs.
On the LMV711/LMV715, a separate shutdown pin can be
used to disable the device and reduces the supply current to
0.2 µA (typical). They also feature a turn on time of less than
10 µs. It is an ideal solution for power sensitive applications,
such as cellular phone, pager, palm computer, etc. In addition, once the LMV715 is in shutdown the output will be “Tristated”.
The LMV710 is offered in the space saving 5-Pin SOT23 Tiny
package. The LMV711/LMV715 are offered in the space saving 6-Pin SOT23 Tiny package.
The LMV710/LMV711/LMV715 are designed to meet the demands of low power, low cost, and small size required by
cellular phones and similar battery powered portable electronics.

Application Information
1.0 SUPPLY BYPASSING
The application circuits in this datasheet do not show the
power supply connections and the associated bypass capacitors for simplification. When the circuits are built, it is always
required to have bypass capacitors. Ceramic disc capacitors
(0.1 µF) or solid tantalum (1 µF) with short leads, and located
close to the IC are usually necessary to prevent interstage
coupling through the power supply internal impedance. Inadequate bypassing will manifest itself by a low frequency oscillation or by high frequency instabilities. Sometimes, a 10 µF
(or larger) capacitor is used to absorb low frequency variations and a smaller 0.1 µF disc is paralleled across it to
prevent any high frequency feedback through the power supply lines.
2.0 SHUTDOWN MODE
The LMV711/LMV715 have a shutdown pin. To conserve battery life in portable applications, they can be disabled when
the shutdown pin voltage is pulled low. For LMV711 during
shutdown mode, the output stays at about 50 mV from the
lower rail, and the current drawn from the power supply is 0.2
µA (typical). This makes the LMV711 an ideal solution for
power sensitive applications. For the LMV715 during shutdown mode, the output will be “Tri-stated”.
The shutdown pin should never be left unconnected. In applications where shutdown operation is not needed and the
LMV711 or LMV715 is used, the shutdown pin should be connected to V+. Leaving the shutdown pin floating will result in
an undefined operation mode and the device may oscillate
between shutdown and active modes.
10132552
FIGURE 1.
When the input is a small signal and this small signal falls
inside the VOS transition range, the gain, CMRR and some
other parameters will be degraded. To resolve this problem,
the small signal should be placed such that it avoids the
VOS crossover point.
To achieve maximum output swing, the output should be biased at mid-supply. This is normally done by biasing the input
at mid-supply. But with supply voltage range from 2V to 3.4V,
the input of the op amp should not be biased at mid-supply
because of the transition of the VOS. Figure 2 shows an example of how to get away from the VOS crossover point and
maintain a maximum swing with a 2.7V supply. Figure 3
shows the waveforms of VIN and V
OUT
.
LMV710/LMV711/LMV715
3.0 RAIL-TO-RAIL INPUT
The rail-to-rail input is achieved by using paralleled PMOS
and NMOS differential input stages. (See Simplified
Schematics in this datasheet). When the common mode input
voltage changes from ground to the positive rail, the input
stage goes through three modes. First, the NMOS pair is cutoff and the PMOS pair is active. At around 1.4V, both PMOS
and NMOS pairs operate, and finally the PMOS pair is cutoff
and NMOS pair is active. Since both input stages have their
own offset voltage (VOS), the offset of the amplifier becomes
a function of the common-mode input voltage. See curves for
VOS vs. VCM in curve section.
As shown in the curve, the VOS has a crossover point at 1.4V
above V−. Proper design must be done in both DC and AC
coupled applications to avoid problems. For large input signals that include the VOS crossover point in their dynamic
range, it will cause distortion in the output signal. One way to
avoid such distortion is to keep the signal away from the
crossover point. For example, in a unity gain buffer configuration and with VS = 5V, a 3V peak-to-peak signal center at
2.5V will contain input-crossover distortion. To avoid this, the
input signal should be centered at 3.5V instead. Another way
to avoid large signal distortion is to use a gain of −1 circuit
which avoids any voltage excursions at the input terminals of
the amplifier. See Figure 1. In this circuit, the common mode
DC voltage (VCM) can be set at a level away from the V
crossover point.

4.0 COMPENSATION OF INPUT CAPACITANCE
In the application (Figure 4) where a large feedback resistor
is used, the feedback resistor can react with the input capacitance of the op amp and introduce an additional pole to the
close loop frequency response.
LMV710/LMV711/LMV715
10132518
FIGURE 4. Cancelling the Effect of Input Capacitance
This pole occurs at frequency fp , where
Any stray capacitance due to external circuit board layout, any
source capacitance from transducer or photodiode connected
to the summing node will also be added to the input capacitance. If fp is less than or close to the unity-gain bandwidth (5
MHz) of the op amp, the phase margin of the loop is reduced
and can cause the system to be unstable.
To avoid this problem, make sure that fp occurs at least 2 octaves beyond the expected −3 dB frequency corner of the
close loop frequency response. If not, a feedback capacitor
CF can be placed in parallel with RF such that
The paralleled RF and CF introduce a zero, which cancels the
effect from the pole.
In Figure 5, the isolation resistor R

The circuit in Figure 6 is an improvement to the one in Figure5 because it provides DC accuracy as well as AC stability. In
this circuit, RF provides the DC accuracy by using feed-forward techniques to connect VIN to RL. CF and R
counteract the loss of phase margin by feeding the high fre-

quency component of the output signal back to the amplifier's
inverting input, thereby preserving phase margin in the overall
feedback loop. Increased capacitive drive is possible by increasing the value of CF . This in turn will slow down the pulse
response.

6.0 APPLICATION CIRCUITS
PEAK DETECTOR
Peak detectors are used in many applications, such as test
equipment, measurement instrumentation, ultrasonic alarm
systems, etc. Figure 7 shows the schematic diagram of a peak
detector using LMV710 or LMV711 or LMV715. This peak
detector basically consists of a clipper, a parallel RC network,
and a voltage follower.
5.0 CAPACITIVE LOAD TOLERANCE
The LMV710/LMV711/ LMV715 can directly drive 200 pF in
unity-gain without oscillation. The unity-gain follower is the
most sensitive configuration to capacitive loading. Direct capacitive loading reduces the phase margin of amplifiers. The
combination of the amplifier's output impedance and the capacitive load induces phase lag. This results in either an
underdamped pulse response or oscillation. To drive a heavier capacitive load, circuit in Figure 5 can be used.

10132523
FIGURE 7. Peak Detector
The capacitor C1 is first discharged by applying a positive
pulse to the reset transistor. When a positive voltage VIN is
applied to the input, the input voltage is higher than the voltage across C1. The output of the op amp goes high and
forward biases the diode D1. The capacitor C1 is charged to
VIN. When the input becomes less than the current capacitor
voltage, the output of the op amp A1 goes low and the diode
Page 13
LMV710/LMV711/LMV715
D1 is reverse biased. This isolates the C1 and leaves it with
the charge equivalent to the peak of the input voltage. The
follower prevents unintentional discharging of C1 by loading
from the following circuit.
R5 and C1 are properly selected so that the capacitor is
charged rapidly to VIN. During the holding period, the capacitor slowly discharge through C1, via leakage of the capacitor
and the reverse-biased diode, or op amp bias currents. In any
cases the discharging time constant is much larger than the
charge time constant. And the capacitor can hold its voltage
long enough to minimize the output ripple.
Resistors R2 and R3 limit the current into the inverting input
of A1 and the non-inverting input of A2 when power is disconnected from the circuit. The discharging current from C
during power off may damage the input circuitry of the op
amps.
The peak detector can be reset by applying a positive pulse
to the reset transistor. The charge on the capacitor is dumped
into ground, and the detector is ready for another cycle.
The maximum input voltage to this detector should be less
than (V+ - VD), where VD is the forward voltage drop of the
diode. Otherwise, the input voltage should be scaled down
before applying to the circuit.
HIGH SIDE CURRENT SENSING
The high side current sensing circuit (Figure 8) is commonly
used in a battery charger to monitor charging current to pre-
vent over-charging. A sense resistor R
the battery directly. This system requires an op amp with rail-
is connected to
SENSE
to-rail input. The LMV710/LMV711/LMV715 are ideal for this
application because its common mode input range can go
beyond the positive rail.

FIGURE 8. High Side Current Sensing
FIGURE 9. Typical of GSM P.A. Control Loop
GSM POWER AMPLIFIER CONTROL LOOP
There are four critical sections in the GSM Power Amplifier
Control Loop. The class-C RF power amplifier provides amplification of the RF signal. A directional coupler couples small
amount of RF energy from the output of the RF P. A. to an
envelope detector diode. The detector diode senses the signal level and rectifies it to a DC level to indicate the signal
strength at the antenna. An op amp is used as an error amplifier to process the diode voltage and ramping voltage. This
loop control the power amplifier gain via the op amp and
forces the detector diode voltage and ramping voltage to be
10132506
equal. Power control is accomplished by changing the ramping voltage.
The LMV710/LMV711/LMV715 are well suited as an error
amplifier in this application. The LMV711/LMV715 have an
extra shutdown pin to switch the op amp to shutdown mode.
In shutdown mode, the LMV711/LMV715 consume very low
current. The LMV711 provides a ground voltage to the power
amplifier control pin VPC. Therefore, the power amplifier can
be turned off to save battery life. The LMV715 output will be
“tri-stated” when in shutdown.
