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. The use of PMOS transistors 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 essentially
rises 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 ohmic load resistance presented to the amplifier is very
high (e.g.,when the amplifier output is used to drive CMOS
digital circuits in Comparator applications).

with variations in supply voltage. Consequently, the gate bias
for Q

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 large-signal excursions are 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.

Input Current Variation with Common Mode Input
Voltage
As shown in the Table of Electrical Specifications, the input
current for the CA3130 Series Op Amps is typically 5pA at TA =
25oC when Terminals 2 and 3 are at a common-mode potential
of +7.5V with respect to negative supply Terminal 4. Figure 3
contains data showing the variation of input current as a
function of common-mode input voltage at TA = 25oC. These
data show that circuit designers can advantageously exploit
these characteristics to design circuits which typically require
an input current of less than 1pA, provided the common-mode
input voltage does not exceed 2V. As previously noted, the
input current is essentially the result of the leakage current
through the gate-protection diodes in the input circuit and,
therefore, a function of the applied voltage. Although the finite
resistance of the glass terminal-to-case insulator of the metal
can package also contributes an increment of leakage current,
there are useful compensating factors. Because the gateprotection network functions as if it is connected to Terminal 4
potential, and the Metal Can case of the CA3130 is also
internally tied to Terminal 4, input Terminal 3 is essentially
“guarded” from spurious leakage currents.
In applications requiring the lowest practical input current and
incremental increases in current because of “warm-up” effects,
it is suggested that an appropriate heat sink be used with the
CA3130. In addition, when “sinking” or “sourcing” significant
output current the chip temperature increases, causing an
increase in the input current. In such cases, heat-sinking can
also very markedly reduce and stabilize input current
variations.
Offset Nulling
Offset-voltage nulling is usually accomplished with a 100,000
potentiometer connected across Terminals 1 and 5 and with
the potentiometer slider arm connected to Terminal 4. A fine
offset-null adjustment usually can be effected with the slider
arm positioned in the mid-point of the potentiometer’s total
range.
Input-Current Variation with Temperature
The input current of the CA3130 Series circuits is typically 5pA
at 25oC. The major portion of this input current is due to
leakage current through the gate-protective diodes in the input
circuit. As with any semiconductor-junction device, including op
amps with a junction-FET input stage, the leakage current
approximately doubles for every 10oC increase in
temperature. Figure 4 provides data on the typical variation of
input bias current as a function of temperature in the CA3130.

Input Offset V oltage (VIO) Variation with DC Bias and
Device Operating Life
It is well known that the characteristics of a MOSFET device
can change slightly when a DC gate-source bias potential is
applied to the device for extended time periods. The
magnitude of the change is increased at high temperatures.
Users of the CA3130 should be alert to the possible impacts of
this effect if the application of the device involves extended
operation at high temperatures with a significant differential DC
bias voltage applied across Terminals 2 and 3. Figure 5 shows
typical data pertinent to shifts in offset voltage encountered
with CA3130 devices (metal can package) during life testing.
At lower temperatures (metal can and plastic), for example at
85oC, this change in voltage is considerably less. In typical
linear applications where the differential voltage is small and
symmetrical, these incremental changes are of about the same
magnitude as those encountered in an operational amplifier
employing a bipolar transistor input stage. The 2VDC
differential voltage example represents conditions when the
amplifier output stage is “toggled”, e.g., as in comparator
applications.

Power-Supply Considerations
Because the CA3130 is very useful in single-supply
applications, it is pertinent to review some considerations
relating to power-supply current consumption under both
single-and dual-supply service. Figures 6A and 6B show the
CA3130 connected for both dual-and single-supply operation.
Dual-supply Operation: When the output voltage at Terminal 6
is 0V, the currents supplied by the two power supplies are
equal. When the gate terminals of Q

and current flow through Q

8
Single-supply Operation: Initially, let it be assumed that the value
of R
is very high (or disconnected), and that the input-terminal
L
bias (Terminals 2 and 3) is such that the output terminal (No. 6)
voltage is at V+/2, i.e., the voltage drops across Q
and Q12 are
8
of equal magnitude. Figure 20 shows typical quiescent supplycurrent vs supply-voltage for the CA3130 operated under these
conditions. Since the output stage is operating as a Class A
amplifier, the supply-current will remain constant under dynamic
operating conditions as long as the transistors are operated in
the linear portion of their voltage-transfer characteristics (see
Figure 2). If either Q
or Q12 are swung out of their linear
8
regions toward cut-off (a non-linear region), there will be a
corresponding reduction in supply-current. In the extreme case,
e.g., with Terminal 8 swung down to ground potential (or tied to
ground), NMOS transistor Q
supply-current to series-connected transistors Q
is completely cut off and the
12
, Q12 goes
8
essentially to zero. The two preceding stages in the CA3130,
however, continue to draw modest supply-current (see the lower
curve in Figure 20) even though the output stage is strobed off.
Figure 6A shows a dual-supply arrangement for the output stage
that can also be strobed off, assuming R
= by pulling the
L
potential of Terminal 8 down to that of Terminal 4.
Let it now be assumed that a load-resistance of nominal value
(e.g., 2k) is connected between Terminal 6 and ground in the
circuit of Figure 6B. Let it be assumed again that the inputterminal bias (Terminals 2 and 3) is such that the output
terminal (No. 6) voltage is at V+/2. Since PMOS transistor Q
must now supply quiescent current to both R
Q
, it should be apparent that under these conditions the
12
and transistor
L
supply-current must increase as an inverse function of the R
8
L
magnitude. Figure 22 shows the voltage-drop across PMOS
transistor Q
as a function of load current at several supply
8
voltages. Figure 2 shows the voltage-transfer characteristics of
the output stage for several values of load resistance.
Wideband Noise
From the standpoint of low-noise performance considerations,
the use of the CA3130 is most advantageous in applications
where in the source resistance of the input signal is on the
order of 1M or more. In this case, the total input-referred
noise voltage is typically only 23V when the test-circuit
amplifier of Figure 7 is operated at a total supply voltage of
15V. This value of total input-referred noise remains essentially
constant, even though the value of source resistance is raised
by an order of magnitude. This characteristic is due to the fact
that reactance of the input capacitance becomes a significant
factor in shunting the source resistance. It should be noted,
however, that for values of source resistance very much
greater than 1M, the total noise voltage generated can be
dominated by the thermal noise contributions of both the
feedback and source resistors.

terminal. Each CD4007A contains three “inverters”, each
“inverter” functioning as a single-pole double-throw switch to
terminate an arm of the R/2R network at either the positive or
negative power-supply terminal. The resistor ladder is an
assembly of 1% tolerance metal-oxide film resistors. The five
arms requiring the highest accuracy are assembled with series
and parallel combinations of 806,000 resistors from the same
manufacturing lot.
A single 15V supply provides a positive bus for the CA3130
follower amplifier and feeds the CA3085 voltage regulator. A
“scale-adjust” function is provided by the regulator output
control, set to a nominal 10V level in this system. The linevoltage regulation (approximately 0.2%) permits a 9-bit
accuracy to be maintained with variations of several volts in the
supply. The flexibility afforded by the CMOS building blocks
simplifies the design of DAC systems tailored to particular
needs.
Typical Applications
Voltage Followers
Operational amplifiers with very high input resistances, like the
CA3130, are particularly suited to service as voltage followers.
Figure 8 shows the circuit of a classical voltage follower,
together with pertinent waveforms using the CA3130 in a splitsupply configuration.
A voltage follower, operated from a single supply, is shown in
Figure 9, together with related waveforms. This follower circuit
is linear over a wide dynamic range, as illustrated by the
reproduction of the output waveform in Figure 9A with inputsignal ramping. The waveforms in Figure 9B show that the
follower does not lose its input-to-output phase-sense, even
though the input is being swung 7.5V below ground potential.
This unique characteristic is an important attribute in both
operational amplifier and comparator applications. Figure 9B
also shows the manner in which the CMOS output stage
permits the output signal to swing down to the negative supplyrail potential (i.e., ground in the case shown). The digital-toanalog converter (DAC) circuit, described later, illustrates the
practical use of the CA3130 in a single-supply voltage-follower
application.
9-Bit CMOS DAC
A typical circuit of a 9-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) is
shown in Figure 10. This system combines the concepts of
multiple-switch CMOS lCs, a low-cost ladder network of
discrete metal-oxide-film resistors, a CA3130 op amp
connected as a follower, and an inexpensive monolithic
regulator in a simple single power-supply arrangement. An
additional feature of the DAC is that it is readily interfaced with
CMOS input logic, e.g., 10V logic levels are used in the circuit
of Figure 10.
The circuit uses an R/2R voltage-ladder network, with the
output potential obtained directly by terminating the ladder
arms at either the positive or the negative power-supply
The absolute-value circuit using the CA3130 is shown in
Figure 11. During positive excursions, the input signal is fed
through the feedback network directly to the output.
Simultaneously, the positive excursion of the input signal also
drives the output terminal (No. 6) of the inverting amplifier in a
negative-going excursion such that the 1N914 diode effectively
disconnects the amplifier from the signal path. During a
negative-going excursion of the input signal, the CA3130
functions as a normal inverting amplifier with a gain equal to R
. When the equality of the two equations shown in Figure
2/R1
11 is satisfied, the full-wave output is symmetrical.
Peak Detectors
Peak-detector circuits are easily implemented with the
CA3130, as illustrated in Figure 12 for both the peak-positive
and the peak-negative circuit. It should be noted that with
large-signal inputs, the bandwidth of the peak-negative circuit
is much less than that of the peak-positive circuit. The second
stage of the CA3130 limits the bandwidth in this case.
Negative-going output-signal excursion requires a positivegoing signal excursion at the collector of transistor Q
is loaded by the intrinsic capacitance of the associated circuitry
in this mode. On the other hand, during a negative-going signal
excursion at the collector of Q
, the transistor functions in an

Error-Amplifier in Regulated-Power Supplies
The CA3130 is an ideal choice for error-amplifier service in
regulated power supplies since it can function as an erroramplifier when the regulated output voltage is required to
approach zero. Figure 13 shows the schematic diagram of a
40mA power supply capable of providing regulated output
voltage by continuous adjustment over the range from 0V to
13V. Q

previously described current-limiting circuit.
Multivibrators
The exceptionally high input resistance presented by the
CA3130 is an attractive feature for multivibrator circuit design
because it permits the use of timing circuits with high R/C
ratios. The circuit diagram of a pulse generator (astable
multivibrator), with provisions for independent control of the
“on” and “off” periods, is shown in Figure 15. Resistors R
R
are used to bias the CA3130 to the mid-point of the supply-
2
voltage and R
rate is selected by positioning S
the rate remains essentially constant when the resistors which
determine “on-period” and “off-period” are adjusted.
Function Generator
Figure 16 contains a schematic diagram of a function generator
using the CA3130 in the integrator and threshold detector
functions. This circuit generates a triangular or square-wave
output that can be swept over a 1,000,000:1 range (0.1Hz to
100kHz) by means of a single control, R
input is also available for remote sweep-control.
The heart of the frequency-determining system is an
operational-transconductance-amplifier (OTA) (see Note 10),
lC
, operated as a voltage-controlled current-source. The

output, IO, is a current applied directly to the integrating
capacitor, C
, in the feedback loop of the integrator lC2, using a
1
CA3130, to provide the triangular-wave output. Potentiometer
R
is used to adjust the circuit for slope symmetry of positive-
2
going and negative-going signal excursions.
Another CA3130, IC
, is used as a controlled switch to set the
3
excursion limits of the triangular output from the integrator
circuit. Capacitor C
is a “peaking adjustment” to optimize the
2
high-frequency square-wave performance of the circuit.
Potentiometer R
is adjustable to perfect the “amplitude
3
symmetry” of the square-wave output signals. Output from the
threshold detector is fed back via resistor R
to the input of lC1
4
so as to toggle the current source from plus to minus in
generating the linear triangular wave.
Operation with Output-Stage Power-Booster
The current-sourcing and-sinking capability of the CA3130
output stage is easily supplemented to provide power-boost
capability. In the circuit of Figure 17, three CMOS transistorpairs in a single CA3600E (see Note 12) lC array are shown
parallel connected with the output stage in the CA3130. In the
Class A mode of CA3600E shown, a typical device consumes
20mA of supply current at 15V operation. This arrangement
boosts the current-handling capability of the CA3130 output
stage by about 2.5X.
NOTE:
9. See file number 619 for technical information.
The amplifier circuit in Figure 17 employs feedback to establish
a closed-loop gain of 48dB. The typical large-signal bandwidth
(-3dB) is 50kHz.
NOTE:
10. See file number 475 and AN6668 for technical information.
