GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP490 is a high-performance micropower quad op amp
that operates from a single supply of 1.6 V to 36 V or from
dual supplies of ± 0.8 V to ± 18 V. Input voltage range includes
the negative rail allowing the OP490 to accommodate input
signals down to ground in single-supply operation. The
OP490’s output swing also includes ground when operating
from a single supply, enabling “zero-in, zero-out” operation.
The quad OP490 draws less than 20 mA of quiescent supply
current per amplifier, but each amplifier is able to deliver
over 5 mA of output current to a load. Input offset voltage is
under 0.5 mV with offset drift below 5 mV/∞C over the military
temperature range. Gain exceeds over 700,000 and CMR is
better than 100 dB. A PSRR of under 5.6 mV/V minimizes
offset voltage changes experienced in battery-powered systems.
The quad OP490 combines high performance with the space
and cost savings of quad amplifiers. The minimal voltage and
current requirements of the OP490 make it ideal for batteryand solar-powered applications, such as portable instruments
and remote sensors.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Battery-Powered Applications
The OP490 can be operated on a minimum supply voltage of
1.6 V, or with dual supplies of ± 0.8 V, and draws only 60 mA of
supply current. In many battery-powered circuits, the OP490
can be continuously operated for hundreds of hours before
requiring battery replacement, reducing equipment downtime,
and operating costs.
High performance portable equipment and instruments frequently use lithium cells because of their long shelf-life, light
weight, and high energy density relative to older primary cells.
Most lithium cells have a nominal output voltage of 3 V and are
noted for a flat discharge characteristic. The low supply current
requirement of the OP490, combined with the flat discharge
characteristic of the lithium cell, indicates that the OP490 can
be operated over the entire useful life of the cell. Figure 4 shows
the typical discharge characteristic of a 1 Ah lithium cell powering an OP490 with each amplifier, in turn, driving full output
swing into a 100 kW load.

Single-Supply Output Voltage Range
In single-supply operation the OP490’s input and output ranges
include ground. This allows true “zero-in, zero-out” operation.
The output stage provides an active pull-down to around 0.8 V
above ground. Below this level, a load resistance of up to 1 MW
to ground is required to pull the output down to zero.
In the region from ground to 0.8 V, the OP490 has voltage gain
1/4
OP490D
equal to the data sheet specification. Output current source
capability is maintained over the entire voltage range including
ground.
Input Voltage Protection
The OP490 uses a PNP input stage with protection resistors in
series with the inverting and noninverting inputs. The high
Figure 3. Channel Separation Test Circuit
breakdown of the PNP transistors coupled with the protection
resistors provides a large amount of input protection, allowing
the inputs to be taken 20 V beyond either supply without damaging the amplifier.

trigger with a precise hysteresis of 1.67 V, set by resistors R5,
R6, and R7, and associated CMOS switches. The resulting

High Output Amplifier
The amplifier shown in Figure 7 is capable of driving 25 V p-p
into a 1 kW load. Design of the amplifier is based on a bridge
configuration. A amplifies the input signal and drives the load
with the help of B. Amplifier C is a unity-gain inverter which
drives the load with help from D. Gain of the high output amplifier
with the component values shown is 10, but can easily be changed
by varying R1 or R2.

where n equals the decimal equivalent of the 8-bit digital code
present at the DAC. If the digital code present at the DAC
consists of all zeros, the feedback loop will be open causing the
op amp output to saturate. The 10 MW resistors placed in parallel with the DAC feedback loop eliminates this problem with a
very small reduction in gain accuracy. The 2.5 V reference biases
the amplifiers to the center of the linear region providing maximum
output swing.
Single-Supply Micropower Quad Programmable Gain Amplifier
The combination of quad OP490 and the DAC8408 quad 8-bit
CMOS DAC, creates a quad programmable-gain amplifier with
a quiescent supply drain of only 140 mA. The digital code present
at the DAC, which is easily set by a microprocessor, determines
the ratio between the fixed DAC feedback resistor and the resistance of the DAC ladder presents to the op amp feedback loop.
