LM6142/LM6144, 17 MHz Rail-to-Rail Input-Output Operational Amplifiers

General Description

Using patent pending new circuit topologies, the LM6142/ LM6144 provides new levels of performance in applications where low voltage supplies or power limitations previously made compromise necessary. Operating on supplies of 1.8V to over 24V, the LM6142/LM6144 is an excellent choice for battery operated systems, portable instrumentation and oth­ers.
The greater than rail-to-rail input voltage range eliminates concern over exceeding the common-mode voltage range. The rail-to-rail output swing provides the maximum possible dynamic range at the output. This is particularly important when operating on low supply voltages.
High gain-bandwidth with 650µA/Amplifier supply current opens new battery powered applications where previous higher power consumption reduced battery life to unaccept­able levels. The ability to drive large capacitive loads without oscillating functionally removes this common problem.

LM6142/LM6144 Application Ideas

The LM6142 brings a new level of ease of use to op amp system design.
With greater than rail-to-rail input voltage range concern over exceeding the common-mode voltage range is elimi­nated.
Rail-to-rail output swing provides the maximum possible dy­namic range at the output. This is particularly important when operating on low supply voltages.
The high gain-bandwidth with low supply current opens new battery powered applications, where high power consump­tion, previously reduced battery life to unacceptable levels.
To take advantage of these features, some ideas should be kept in mind.

ENHANCED SLEW RATE

Unlike most bipolar op amps, the unique phase reversal prevention/speed-up circuit in the input stage causes the slew rate to be very much a function of the input signal amplitude.
The LM6142/LM6144 input stage converts the input voltage change to a current change. This current change drives the current mirrors through the collectors of Q1–Q2, Q3– Q4 when the input levels are normal.
If the input signal exceeds the slew rate of the input stage, the differential input voltage rises above two diode drops. This excess signal bypasses the normal input transistors, (Q1–Q4), and is routed in correct phase through the two additional transistors, (Q5, Q6), directly into the current mir­rors.
This rerouting of excess signal allows the slew-rate to in­crease by a factor of 10 to 1 or more. (See Figure 1.)
As the overdrive increases, the op amp reacts better than a conventional op amp. Large fast pulses will raise the slew­rate to around 30V to 60V/µs.
01205707

FIGURE 1.

This effect is most noticeable at higher supply voltages and lower gains where incoming signals are likely to be large.
This new input circuit also eliminates the phase reversal seen in many op amps when they are overdriven.
This speed-up action adds stability to the system when driving large capacitive loads.

DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS

Capacitive loads decrease the phase margin of all op amps. This is caused by the output resistance of the amplifier and the load capacitance forming an R-C phase lag network. This can lead to overshoot, ringing and oscillation. Slew rate limiting can also cause additional lag. Most op amps with a fixed maximum slew-rate will lag further and further behind when driving capacitive loads even though the differential input voltage raises. With the LM6142, the lag causes the slew rate to raise. The increased slew-rate keeps the output following the input much better. This effectively reduces phase lag. After the output has caught up with the input, the differential input voltage drops down and the amplifier settles rapidly.

(Continued)
LM6142/LM6144

FIGURE 2.

These features allow the LM6142 to drive capacitive loads as large as 1000pF at unity gain and not oscillate. The scope photos (Figure 3 and Figure 4) above show the LM6142 driving a l000pF load. In Figure 3, the upper trace is with no capacitive load and the lower trace is with a 1000pF load. Here we are operating on pulse. Excellent response is obtained with a Cfof l0pF. In Figure 4, the supplies have been reduced to pulse is 4 V
and Cfis 39pF. The best value for the
PP
compensation capacitor is best established after the board layout is finished because the value is dependent on board stray capacity, the value of the feedback resistor, the closed loop gain and, to some extent, the supply voltage.
Another effect that is common to all op amps is the phase shift caused by the feedback resistor and the input capaci­tance. This phase shift also reduces phase margin. This effect is taken care of at the same time as the effect of the capacitive load when the capacitor is placed across the feedback resistor.
The circuit shown in Figure 5 was used for these scope photos.

Typical Applications

FISH FINDER/ DEPTH SOUNDER.

The LM6142/LM6144 is an excellent choice for battery op­erated fish finders. The low supply current, high gain­bandwidth and full rail to rail output swing of the LM6142 provides an ideal combination for use in this and similar applications.

ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER BUFFER

The high capacitive load driving ability, rail-to-rail input and output range with the excellent CMR of 82 dB, make the LM6142/LM6144 a good choice for buffering the inputs of A to D converters.

3 OP AMP INSTRUMENTATION AMP WITH RAIL-TO-RAIL INPUT AND OUTPUT

Using the LM6144,a3opampinstrumentation amplifier with rail-to-rail inputs and rail to rail output can be made. These features make these instrumentation amplifiers ideal for single supply systems.
Some manufacturers use a precision voltage divider array of 5 resistors to divide the common-mode voltage to get an input range of rail-to-rail or greater. The problem with this method is that it also divides the signal, so to even get unity gain, the amplifier must be run at high closed loop gains. This raises the noise and drift by the internal gain factor and
LM6142/LM6144
Typical Applications (Continued)
lowers the input impedance. Any mismatch in these preci­sion resistors reduces the CMR as well. Using the LM6144, all of these problems are eliminated.
In this example, amplifiers A and B act as buffers to the differential stage (Figure 6). These buffers assure that the input impedance is over 100Mand they eliminate the requirement for precision matched resistors in the input stage. They also assure that the difference amp is driven from a voltage source. This is necessary to maintain the CMR set by the matching of R1– R2 with R3– R4.
01205713

FIGURE 6.

With both rail to rail input and output ranges, the inputs and outputs are only limited by the supply voltages. Remember that even with rail-to-rail output, the output can not swing past the supplies so the combined common mode voltage plus the signal should not be greater than the supplies or limiting will occur.
