15MHz, BiMOS Operational Amplifier with
MOSFET Input/CMOS Output
CA3130A and CA3130 are op amps that combine the
advantage of both CMOS and bipolar transistors.
Gate-protected P-Channel MOSFET (PMOS) transistors are
used in the input circuit to provide very-high-input
impedance, very-low-input current, and exceptional speed
performance.TheuseofPMOStransistors in the input stage
results in common-mode input-voltage capability down to
0.5V below the negative-supply terminal, an important
attribute in single-supply applications.
A CMOS transistor-pair, capable of swinging the output
voltage to within 10mV of either supply-voltage terminal (at
very high values of load impedance), is employed as the
output circuit.
The CA3130 Series circuits operate at supply voltages
ranging from 5V to 16V, (±2.5V to ±8V). They can be phase
compensated with a single external capacitor, and have
terminals for adjustment of offset voltage for applications
requiring offset-null capability. Terminal provisions are also
made to permit strobing of the output stage.
The CA3130A offers superior input characteristics over
those of the CA3130.

Application Information
Circuit Description
Figure 1 is a block diagram of the CA3130 Series CMOS
Operational Amplifiers. The input terminals may be operated
down to 0.5V below the negative supply rail, and the output
can be swung very close to either supply rail in many
applications. Consequently, the CA3130 Series circuits are
ideal for single-supply operation. Three Class A amplifier
stages, having the individual gain capability and current
consumption shown in Figure 1, provide the total gain of the
CA3130. A biasing circuit provides two potentials for
common use in the first and second stages. Terminal 8 can
be used both for phase compensation and 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 potential at Terminal 6 essentiallyrises to
the positive supply-rail potential at Terminal 7. This condition
of essentially zero current drain in the output stage under the
strobed “OFF” condition can only be achieved when the

Second-Stage
Most of the voltage gain in the CA3130 is provided by the
second amplifier stage, consisting of bipolar transistor Q
11
and its cascade-connected load resistance provided by
PMOS transistors Q
and Q5. The source of bias potentials
3
forthese PMOS transistors is subsequently described. Miller
Effect compensation (roll-off) is accomplished by simply
connecting a small capacitor between Terminals 1 and 8. A
47pF capacitor provides sufficient compensation for stable
unity-gain operation in most applications.
Bias-Source Circuit
At total supply voltages, somewhat abo ve 8.3V, resistor R
and zener diode Z1serve to establish a voltage of 8.3V across
the series-connected circuit, consisting of resistor R

Consequently, the gate bias for Q

accordance with supply-voltage variations. This variation
results in deterioration of the power-supply-rejection ratio
(PSRR) at total supply voltages below 8.3V. Operation at
total supply voltages below about 4.5V results in seriously
degraded performance.
Output Stage
The output stage consists of a drain-loaded inverting
amplifier using CMOS transistors operating in the Class A
mode. When operating into very high resistance loads, the
output can be swung within millivolts of either supply rail.
Because the output stage is a drain-loaded amplifier,its gain
is dependent upon the load impedance. The transfer
characteristics of the output stage for a load returned to the
negative supply rail are shown in Figure 2. Typical op amp
loads are readily driven by the output stage. Because largesignal excursionsare non-linear, requiring feedback for good
waveform reproduction, transient delays may be
encountered. As a voltage follower, the amplifier can achieve
0.01% accuracy levels, including the negative supply rail.
