LT1498/LT1499
10MHz, 6V/µs, Dual/Quad
Rail-to-Rail Input and Output
Precision C-Load Op Amps
U
DESCRIPTION
The LT®1498/LT1499 are dual/quad, rail-to-rail input and
output precision C-LoadTM op amps with a 10MHz gainbandwidth product and a 6V/µ s slew rate.
The LT1498/LT1499 are designed to maximize input
dynamic range by delivering precision performance over
the full supply voltage. Using a patented technique, both
input stages of the LT1498/LT1499 are trimmed, one at the
negative supply and the other at the positive supply. The
resulting guaranteed common mode rejection is much
better than other rail-to-rail input op amps. When used as a
unity-gain buffer in front of single supply 12-bit A-to-D
converters, the LT1498/LT1499 are guaranteed to add less
than 1LSB of error even in single 3V supply systems.
With 110dB of supply rejection, the LT1498/LT1499 maintain their performance over a supply range of 2.2V to 36V
and are specified for 3V, 5V and ±15V supplies. The inputs
can be driven beyond the supplies without damage or
phase reversal of the output. These op amps remain stable
while driving capacitive loads up to 10,000pF.
The LT1498 is available with the standard dual op amp
configuration in 8-pin PDIP and SO packaging. The LT1499
features the standard quad op amp configuration and is
available in a 14-pin plastic SO package. These devices can
be used as plug-in replacements for many standard op
amps to improve input/output range and precision.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Rail-to-Rail Input and Output
The LT1498/LT1499 are fully functional for an input and
output signal range from the negative supply to the positive supply. Figure 1 shows a simplified schematic of the
amplifier. The input stage consists of two differential
amplifiers, a PNP stage (Q1/Q2) and an NPN stage (Q3/
Q4) which are active over different ranges of input common mode voltage. A complementary common emitter
output stage (Q14/Q15) is employed allowing the output
to swing from rail-to-rail. The devices are fabricated on
Linear Technology’s proprietary complementary bipolar
process to ensure very similar DC and AC characteristics
for the output devices (Q14/Q15).

AT 10kHz
The PNP differential input pair is active for input common
mode voltages, VCM, between the negative supply to
approximately 1.3V below the positive supply. As V
CM
moves further toward the positive supply, the transistor
Q5 will steer the tail current, I1, to the current mirror Q6/
Q7 activating the NPN differential pair, and the PNP
differential pair becomes inactive for the rest of the input
common mode range up to the positive supply.
The output is configured with a pair of complementary
common emitter stages that enables the output to swing
from rail to rail. Capacitors C1 and C2 form local feedback
loops that lower the output impedance at high frequencies.

Input Offset Voltage
The offset voltage changes depending upon which input
stage is active. The input offsets are random, but are
trimmed to less than 475µV. To maintain the precision
characteristics of the amplifier, the change of VOS over the
entire input common mode range (CMRR) is guaranteed
to be less than 425µV on a single 5V supply.
Input Bias Current
The input bias current polarity also depends on the input
common mode voltage, as described in the previous
section. When the PNP differential pair is active, the input
bias currents flow out of the input pins; they flow in
opposite direction when the NPN input stage is active. The
offset error due to input bias current can be minimized by
equalizing the noninverting and inverting input source
impedances. This will reduce the error since the input
offset currents are much less than the input bias currents.
Overdrive Protection
To prevent the output from reversing polarity when the
input voltage exceeds the power supplies, two pair of
crossing diodes D1 to D4 are employed. When the input
voltage exceeds either power supply by approximately
700mV, D1/D2 or D3/D4 will turn on, forcing the output to
the proper polarity. For the phase reversal protection to
work properly, the input current must be less than 5mA.
If
the amplifier is to be severely overdriven, an external
resistor should be used to limit the overdrive current.
Furthermore, the LT1498/LT1499’s input stages are protected by a pair of back-to-back diodes, D5/D6. When a
differential voltage of more than 0.7V is applied to the
inputs, these diodes will turn on, preventing the Zener
breakdown of the input transistors. The current in D5/D6
should be limited to less than 10mA. Internal resistors R6
and R7 (700Ω total) limit the input current for differential
input signals of 7V or less. For larger input levels, a
resistor in series with either or both inputs should be
used to limit the current. Worst-case differential input
voltage usually occurs when the output is shorted to
ground. In addition, the amplifier is protected against
ESD strikes up to 3kV on all pins.
Capacitive Load
The LT1498/LT1499 are designed for ease of use. The
amplifier can drive a capacitive load of more than 10nF
12
Page 13
LT1498/LT1499
U
WUU
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
without oscillation at unity gain. When driving a heavy
capacitive load, the bandwidth is reduced to maintain
stability. Figures 2a and 2b illustrate the stability of the
device for small-signal and large-signal conditions with
capacitive loads. Both the small-signal and large-signal
transient response with a 10nF capacitive load are well
behaved.
Feedback Components
To minimize the loading effect of feedback, it is possible to
use the high value feedback resistors to set the gain.
However, care must be taken to insure that the pole formed
by the feedback resistors and the total input capacitance at
the inverting input does not degrade the stability of the
amplifier. For instance, the LT1498/LT1499 in a noninverting gain of 2, set with two 30k resistors, will probably
oscillate with 10pF total input capacitance (5pF input
capacitance + 5pF board capacitance). The amplifier has a
2.5MHz crossing frequency and a 60° phase margin at 6dB
of gain. The feedback resistors and the total input capacitance create a pole at 1.06MHz that induces 67° of phase
shift at 2.5MHz! The solution is simple, either lower the
value of the resistors or add a feedback capacitor of 10pF
of more.

TYPICAL APPLICATION
Bidirectional Current Sensor
U
A bidirectional current sensor for battery-powered systems is shown in Figure 3. Two outputs are provided: one
proportional to charge current, the other proportional to
discharge current. The circuit takes advantage of the
LT1498’s rail-to-rail input range and its output phase
reversal protection. During the charge cycle, the op amp
A1 forces a voltage equal to (IL)(R
) across RA. This

voltage is then amplified at the Charge Out by the ratio of
RB over RA. In this mode, the output of A2 remains high,
keeping Q2 off and the Discharge Out low, even though the
(+) input of A2 exceeds the positive power supply. During
the discharge cycle, A2 and Q2 are active and the operation
is similar to the charge cycle.
