These dual op amps use slew enhancement with special
mirror circuitry to achieve fast response and high gain with
low total supply current.
The amplifiers are built on a junction-isolated VIP

Electrical Characteristics (Continued)
Note 3: The inputs are shunted with three series-connected diodes back-to-back for input differential clamping. Therefore differential input voltages greater than
about 1.8V will cause excessive current to flow unless limited to less than 10 mA.
Note 4: Current limiting protects the output from a short to ground or any voltage less than the supplies. With a continuous overload, the package dissipation must
be taken into account and heat sinking provided when necessary.
Note 5: Devices must be derated using a thermal resistance of 90˚C/W for the N and WM packages.
Note 6: Limits are guaranteed by testing or correlation.

Application Information
General
The LM6118/LM6218 are high-speed, fast-settling dual
op-amps. Toinsure maximum performance, circuit board layout is very important. Minimizing stray capacitance at the inputs and reducing coupling between the amplifier’s input and
output will minimize problems.
Supply Bypassing
To assure stability, it is recommended that each power supply pin be bypassed with a 0.1 µF low inductance capacitor
near the device. If high frequency spikes from digital circuits
or switching supplies are present, additional filtering is recommended. To prevent these spikes from appearing at the
output, R-C filtering of the supplies near the device may be
necessary.
Power Dissipation
These amplifiers are specified to 20 mA output current. If accompanied with high supply voltages, relatively high power
dissipation in the device will occur, resulting in high junction
temperatures. In these cases the package thermal resistance must be taken into consideration. (See Note 5 under
Electrical Characteristics.) For high dissipation, an N package with large areas of copper on the pc board is recommended.

Amplifier Shut Down
If one of the amplifiers is not used, it can be shut down by
connecting both the inverting and non-inverting inputs to the
V− pin. This will reduce the power supply current by approximately 25%.
Capacitive Loading
Maximum capacitive loading is about 50 pF for a closed-loop
gain of +1, before the amplifier exhibits excessive ringing
and becomes unstable. A curve showing maximum capacitive loads, with different closed-loop gains, is shown in the
Typical Performance Characteristics section.
To drive larger capacitive loads at low closed-loop gains, isolate the amplifier output from the capacitive load with 50Ω.
Connect a small capacitor directly from the amplifier output
to the inverting input. The feedback loop is closed from the
isolated output with a series resistor to the inverting input.

Examples of unity gain connections for a voltage follower, Inverter, and integrator driving capacitive loads up to 1000 pF
are shown here. Different R1–C1 time constants and capacitive loads will have an effect on settling times.
Input Bias Current Compensation
Input bias current of the first op amp can be reduced or balanced out by the second op amp. Both amplifiers are laid out
in mirror image fashion and in close proximity to each other,
thus both input bias currents will be nearly identical and will
track with temperature. With both op amp inputs at the same
potential, a second op amp can be used to convert bias current to voltage, and then back to current feeding the first op
amp using large value resistors to reduce the bias current to
the level of the offset current.
Examples are shown here for an inverting application, (a)
where the inputs are at ground potential, and a second circuit (b) for compensating bias currents for both inputs.
