1.8V IttyBitty™ Rail-to-Rail Input/Output Op Amp
Preliminary Information
General Description
The MIC7111 is a micropower operational amplifier featuring
rail-to-rail input and output performance in Micrel’s IttyBitty
SOT-23-5 package. The MIC7111 is ideal for systems where
small size is a critical consideration.
The MIC7111 is designed to operate from 1.8V to 11V power
supplies.
The MIC7111 benefits small battery operated portable electronic devices where small size and the ability to place the
amplifier close to the signal source are primary design
concerns.

General Notes: Devices are ESD protected; however, handling precautions are recommended. All limits guaranteed by testing on statistical analysis.
Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when
Note 2: I/O Pin Voltage is any external voltage to which an input or output is referenced.
Note 3: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, T
Note 4: Thermal resistance, θJA, applies to a part soldered on a printed-circuit board.
Note 5: Human body model, 1.5k in series with 100pF.
Note 6: Short circuit may cause the device to exceed maxium allowable power dissipation. See Note 3.

resistance, θJA; and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using:
PD = (T
– TA) ÷θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature.
The MIC7111 tolerates input overdrive by at least 300mV
beyond either rail without producing phase inversion.
If the absolute maximum input voltage is exceeded, the input
current should be limited to ±5mA maximum to prevent
reducing reliability. A 10kΩ series input resistor, used as a
current limiter, will protect the input structure from voltages as
large as 50V above the supply or below ground. See Figure
1.

Output Voltage Swing
Sink and source output resistances of the MIC7111 are
equal. Maximum output voltage swing is determined by the
load and the approximate output resistance. The output

Driving Capacitive Loads
Driving a capacitive load introduces phase-lag into the output
signal, and this in turn reduces op-amp system phase margin.
The application that is least forgiving of reduced phase
margin is a unity gain amplifier. The MIC7111 can typically
drive a 500pF capacitive load connected directly to the output
when configured as a unity-gain amplifier.
Using Large-Value Feedback Resistors
A large-value feedback resistor (> 500kΩ) can reduce the
phase margin of a system. This occurs when the feedback
resistor acts in conjunction with input capacitance to create
phase lag in the fedback signal. Input capacitance is usually
a combination of input circuit components and other parasitic
capacitance, such as amplifier input capacitance and stray
printed circuit board capacitance.
Figure 2 illustrates a method of compensating phase lag
caused by using a large-value feedback resistor. Feedback
capacitor CFB introduces sufficient phase lead to overcome
the phase lag caused by feedback resistor RFB and input
capacitance CIN. The value of CFB is determined by first
estimating CIN and then applying the following formula:
