Description
The CA3140A and CA3140 are integrated circuit operational amplifiers that combine the advantages of high voltage PMOS transistors with high voltage bipolar transistors on a single monolithic chip.
The CA3140A and CA3140 BiMOS operational amplifiers feature
gate protected MOSFET (PMOS) transistors in the input circuit to
provide very high input impedance, very low input current, and
high speed performance. The CA3140A and CA3140 operate at
supply voltage from 4V to 36V (either single or dual supply).
These operational amplifiers are internally phase compensated to
achieve stable operation in unity gain follower operation, and
additionally, have access terminal for a supplementary external
capacitor if additional frequency roll-off is desired. Terminals are
also provided for use in applications requiring input offset voltage
nulling. The use of PMOS field effect transistors in the input stage
results in common mode input voltage capability down to 0.5V
below the negative supply terminal, an important attribute for single supply applications. The output stage uses bipolar transistors
and includes built-in protection against damage from load terminal short circuiting to either supply rail or to ground.
The CA3140 Series has the same 8-lead pinout used for the “741”
and other industry standard op amps. The CA3140A and CA3140
are intended for operation at supply voltages up to 36V (±18V).

Application Information
Circuit Description
As shown in the block diagram, the input terminals may be
operated down to 0.5V below the negative supply rail. Two
class A amplifier stages provide the voltage gain, and a
unique class AB amplifier stage provides the current gain
necessary to drive low-impedance loads.
A biasing circuit provides control of cascoded constant current
flow circuits in the first and second stages. The CA3140
includes an on chip phase compensating capacitor that is
sufficient for the unity gain voltage follower configuration.
Input Stage
The schematic diagram consists of a differential input stage
using PMOS field-effect transistors (Q

converter to provide base current drive to the second stage

subsequently. The small diodes D

Second Stage
Most of the voltage gain in the CA3140 is provided by the
second amplifier stage, consisting of bipolar transistor Q
and its cascode connected load resistance provided by
bipolar transistors Q
, Q4. On-chip phase compensation,
3
sufficient for a majority of the applications is provided by C
Additional Miller-Effect compensation (roll off) can be
accomplished, when desired, by simply connecting a small
capacitor between Terminals 1 and 8. Terminal 8 is also
used to strobe the output stage into quiescence. When
terminal 8 is tied to the negative supply rail (Terminal 4) by
mechanical or electrical means, the output Terminal 6
swings low, i.e., approximately to Terminal 4 potential.
Output Stage
The CA3140 Series circuits employ a broad band output stage
that can sink loads to the negative supply to complement the
capability of the PMOS input stage when operating near the
negative rail. Quiescent current in the emitter-follower cascade
circuit (Q
, Q18) is established by transistors (Q14, Q15)
17
whose base currents are “mirrored” to current flowing through
diode D
in the bias circuit section. When the CA3140 is
2
operating such that output Terminal 6 is sourcing current,
transistor Q
functions as an emitter-follower to source current
18
from the V+ bus (Terminal 7), via D
conditions, the collector potential of Q
permit the necessary flow of base current to emitter follower
Q
which, in turn, drives Q18.

The dynamic current sink is controlled by voltage le vel sensing.
For purposes of explanation, it is assumed that output Terminal

the V+ and V- supply rails. When output current sinking mode
operation is required, the collector potential of transistor Q
driven below its quiescent level, thereby causing Q

Bias Circuit
Quiescent current in all stages (except the dynamic current

constant current flow through D

Typical Applications
Wide dynamic range of input and output characteristics with
the most desirable high input impedance characteristics is
achieved in the CA3140 b y the use of an unique design based
upon the PMOS Bipolar process. Input common mode voltage
range and output swing capabilities are complementary,
allowing operation with the single supply down to 4V.
The wide dynamic range of these parameters also means
that this device is suitable for many single supply applications, such as, for example, where one input is driven below
the potential of Terminal 4 and the phase sense of the output
signal must be maintained – a most important consideration
in comparator applications.
Output Circuit Considerations
Excellent interfacing with TTL circuitry is easily achieved with a
single 6.2V zener diode connected to Terminal 8 as shown in
Figure 1. This connection assures that the maximum output signal swing will not go more positiv e than the zener voltage minus
two base-to-emitter voltage drops within the CA3140. These
voltages are independent of the operating supply v oltage .

AND Q16) vs LOAD CURRENT
Figure 2 shows output current sinking capabilities of the
CA3140 at various supply voltages. Output voltage swing to
the negative supply rail permits this device to operate both
power transistors and thyristors directly without the need for
level shifting circuitry usually associated with the 741 series
of operational amplifiers.
Figure 4 shows some typical configurations. Note that a
series resistor, R
, is used in both cases to limit the drive
L
available to the driven device. Moreover, it is recommended
that a series diode and shunt diode be used at the thyristor
input to prevent large negative transient surges that can
appear at the gate of thyristors, from damaging the
integrated circuit.
Offset Voltage Nulling
The input offset voltage can be nulled by connecting a 10kΩ
potentiometer between Terminals 1 and 5 and retur ning its
wiper arm to terminal 4, see Figure 3A. This technique, however, gives more adjustment range than required and therefore, a considerable portion of the potentiometer rotation is
not fully utilized. Typical values of series resistors (R) that
may be placed at either end of the potentiometer, see Figure
3B, to optimize its utilization range are given in the Electrical
Specifications table.
An alternate system is shown in Figure 3C. This circuit uses
only one additional resistor of approximately the value
shown in the table. For potentiometers, in which the resistance does not drop to 0Ω at either end of rotation, a value of
resistance 10% lower than the values shown in the table
should be used.
Low Voltage Operation
Operation at total supply voltages as low as 4V is possible
with the CA3140. A current regulator based upon the PMOS
threshold voltage maintains reasonable constant operating
current and hence consistent performance down to these
lower voltages.
The low voltage limitation occurs when the upper extreme of
the input common mode voltage range extends down to the
voltage at Terminal 4. This limit is reached at a total supply
voltage just below 4V. The output voltage range also begins to
extend down to the negative supply rail, but is slightly higher
than that of the input. Figure 8 shows these characteristics and
shows that with 2V dual supplies, the lower e xtreme of the input
common mode voltage range is below ground potential.
