LMV721/LMV72210MHz, Low Noise, Low Voltage, and Low Power Operational Amplifier
August 1999
General Description
The LMV721 (Single) and LMV722 (Dual) are low noise, low
voltage, and low power op amps, that can be designed into
a wide range of applications. The LMV721/LMV722 has a
unity gain bandwidth of 10MHz, a slew rate of 5V/us, and a
quiescent current of 930uA/amplifier at 2.2V.
The LMV721/722 are designed to provide optimal performance in low voltage and low noise systems. They provide
rail-to-rail output swing into heavy loads. The input
common-mode voltage range includes ground, and the
maximum input offset voltage are 3.5mV (Over Temp.) for
the LMV721/LMV722. Their capacitive load capability is also
good at low supply voltages. The operating range is from
2.2V to 5.5V.
The chip is built with National’s advanced Submicron
Silicon-Gate BiCMOS process. The single version, LMV721,
is available in 5 pin SOT23-5 and a SC-70 (new) package.
The dual version, LMV722, is available in a SO-8 and
MSOP-8 package.

Application Notes
1.0 Benefits of the LMV721/722 Size.
The small footprints of the LMV721/722 packages save
space on printed circuit boards, and enable the design of
smaller electronic products, such as cellular phones, pagers,
or other portable systems. The low profile of the
LMV721/722 make them possible to use in PCMCIA type III
cards.
Signal Integrity. Signals can pick up noise between the signal source and the amplifier. By using a physically smaller
amplifier package, the LMV721/722 can be placed closer to
the signal source, reducing noise pickup and increasing signal integrity.
Simplified Board Layout. These products help you to avoid
using long pc traces in your pc board layout. This means that
no additional components, such as capacitors and resistors,
are needed to filter out the unwanted signals due to the interference between the long pc traces.
Low Supply Current. These devices will help you to maximize battery life. They are ideal for battery powered systems.
Low Supply Voltage. National provides guaranteed performance at 2.2V and 5V. These guarantees ensure operation
throughout the battery lifetime.
Rail-to-Rail Output. Rail-to-rail output swing provides maximum possible dynamic range at the output. This is particularly important when operating on low supply voltages.
Input Includes Ground. Allows direct sensing near GND in
single supply operation.
Protection should be provided to prevent the input voltages
from going negative more than −0.3V (at 25˚C). An input
clamp diode with a resistor to the IC input terminal can be
used.
2.0 Capacitive Load Tolerance
The LMV721/722 can directly drive 4700pF 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 1
can be used.

value of C
3.0 Input Bias Current Cancellation
The LMV721/722 family has a bipolar input stage. The typical input bias current of LMV721/722 is 260nA with 5V supply. Thus a 100kΩ input resistor will cause 26mV of error
voltage. By balancing the resistor values at both inverting
and non-inverting inputs, the error caused by the amplifier’s
input bias current will be reduced. The circuit in
shows how to cancel the error caused by input bias current.

4.1 Difference amplifier
The difference amplifier allows the subtraction of two voltages or, as a special case, the cancellation of a signal common to two inputs. It is useful as a computational amplifier,in
making a differential to single-ended conversion or in rejecting a common mode signal.

There may be cases where the input signal going into the
amplifier is negative. Because the amplifier is operating in
