4.5MHz, BiMOS Operational Amplifier with
MOSFET Input/Bipolar Output
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. T e rminals 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 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 constan t 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 vol tage follower configuration.
Input Stage
The schematic diagram consists of a differential input stage
using PMOS field-effect transistors (Q

Second Stage

second amplifier stage, consisting of bipolar transistor Q
and its cascode connected load resistance provided by
bipolar transistors Q

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

The dynamic current sink is controlled by voltage level sensing.

Typical Applications
Wide dynamic range of input and output characte ristics with
the most desirable high input impedance char acteristics is
achieved in the CA3140 b y the use of an unique design based
upon the PMOS Bipolar process. Input common mode volta ge
range and output swing capabilities are compl ementary,
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 T erminal 8 as shown
in Figure 1. This connection assures that the maximum
output signal swing will not go more positive than the zener
voltage minus two base-to-emitter voltage drops within the
CA3140. These voltages are independent of the operating
supply voltage.

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 recommende d
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 returning 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 extreme of the input common mode
voltage range is below ground potential.
For those cases where bandwidth reduction is desired, for
example, broadband noise reduction, an external capacitor
connected between Terminals 1 and 8 can reduce the open
loop -3dB bandwidth. The slew rate will, however, also be
proportionally reduced by using this additional capacitor.
Thus, a 20% reduction in bandwidth by this technique will
also reduce the slew rate by about 20%.
Figure 5 shows the typical settling time required to reach
1mV or 10mV of the final value for various levels of large
signal inputs for the voltage follower and inverting unity gain
amplifiers.
8
The exceptionally fast settling time characteristics are largely
due to the high combination of high gain and wide bandwidth
of the CA3140; as shown in Figure 6.
Input Circuit Considerations
As mentioned previously, the amplifier inputs can be driven
below the Terminal 4 potential, but a series current limiting
resistor is recommended to limit the maximum input terminal
current to less than 1mA to prevent damage to the input
protection circuitry.
Moreover, some current limiting resistance should be
provided between the inverting input and the output when

the CA3140 is used as a unity gain voltage follower. This
resistance prevents the possibility of extremely large input
signal transients from forcing a signal through the input
protection network and directly driving the internal constant
current source which could result in positive feedback via the
output terminal. A 3.9kΩ resistor is sufficient.
The typical input current is on the order of 10pA when the
inputs are centered at nominal device dissipation. As the
output supplies load current, device dissipation will increase,
raising the chip temperature and resulting in increased input
current. Figure 7 shows typical input terminal current versus
ambient temperature for the CA3140.
It is well known that MOSFET devices can exhibit slight
changes in characteristics (for example, small changes in

differential input voltages that are sustained over long
periods at elevated temperatures.
Both applied voltage and temperature accelerate these
changes. The process is reversib le and offset v oltage shifts of
the opposite polarity reverse the offset. Figure 9 sho ws the
typical offset voltage change as a function of various stress
voltages at the maximum rating of 125

Super Sweep Function Generator
A function generator having a wide tuning range is shown in
Figure 10. The 1,000,000/1 adjustment range is
accomplished by a single variable potentiometer or by an
auxiliary sweeping signal. The CA3140 functions as a noninverting readout amplifier of the triangular signal developed
across the integrating capacitor network connected to the
output of the CA3080A current source.
Buffered triangular output signals are then applied to a
second CA3080 functioning as a high speed hysteresis
switch. Output from the switch is returned directly back to the
input of the CA3080A current source, thereby, completing
the positive feedback loop
The triangular output level is determined by the four 1N914
level limiting diodes of the second CA3080 and the resistor
divider network connected to Terminal No. 2 (input) of the
CA3080. These diodes establish the input trip level to this
switching stage and, therefore, indirectly determine the
amplitude of the output triangle.
Compensation for propagation delays around the entire loop
is provided by one adjustment on the input of the CA3080.
This adjustment, which provides for a constant generator
amplitude output, is most easily made while the generator is
sweeping. High frequency ramp linearity is adjusted by the
single 7pF to 60pF capacitor in the output of the CA3080A.
It must be emphasized that only the CA3080A is
characterized for maximum output linearity in the current
generator function.
Meter Driver and Buffer Amplifier
Figure 11 shows the CA3140 connected as a meter driver
and buffer amplifier . Lo w driving impedance is required of
the CA3080A current source to assure smooth operation of
the Frequency Adjustment Control. This low-driving
impedance requirement is easily met by using a CA3140
connected as a voltage follower. Moreover, a meter may be
placed across the input to the CA3080A to give a logarithmic
analog indication of the function generator’s frequency.
Analog frequency readout is readily accomplished by the
means described above because the output current of the
CA3080A varies approximately one decad e for each 60mV
change in the applied voltage, V
(voltage between
ABC
Terminals 5 and 4 of the CA3080A of the function generator).
Therefore, six decades represent 360mV change in V
ABC
.
Now, only the reference voltage must be established to set
the lower limit on the meter. The three remaining transistors
from the CA3086 Array used in the sweep generator are
used for this reference voltage. In addition, this reference
generator arrangement tends to track ambient temperature
variations, and thus compensates for the effects of the
normal negative temperature coefficient of the CA3080A
V
terminal voltage.
ABC
Another output voltage from the reference generator is used
to insure temperature tracking of the lower end of the
Frequency Adjustment Potentiometer. A large series
resistance simulates a current source, assuring similar
temperature coefficients at both ends of the Frequency
Adjustment Control.
To calibrate this circuit, set the Frequency Adjustment
Potentiometer at its low end. Then adjust the Minimum
Frequency Calibration Control for the lowest frequency. To
establish the upper frequency limit, set the Frequency
Adjustment Potentiometer to its upper end and then adjust
the Maximum Frequency Calibration Control for the
maximum frequency. Because th ere is interaction among
these controls, repetition of the adjustment procedure may
be necessary. Two adjustments are used for the meter. The
meter sensitivity control sets the meter scale width of each
decade, while the meter position control adjusts the pointer
on the scale with negligible effect on the sensitivity
adjustment. Thus, the meter sensitivity adjustment control
calibrates the meter so that it deflects
1
/6 of full scale for
each decade change in frequency.
Sine Wave Shaper
The circuit shown in Figure 12 uses a CA3140 as a voltage
follower in combination with diodes from the CA3019 Array
to convert the triangular signal from the function generator to
a sine-wave output signal having typically less than 2% THD .
The basic zero crossing slope is established by the 10kΩ
potentiometer connected between Terminals 2 and 6 of the
CA3140 and the 9.1kΩ resistor and 10kΩ potentiometer
from Terminal 2 to ground. Two break points are established
by diodes D
establishes the zero slope at the maximum and minimum
levels of the sine wav e. This technique is necessary because
the voltage follower configuration approaches unity gain
rather than the zero gain required to shape the sine wave at
the two extremes.

This circuit can be adjusted most easily with a distortion

comparing the output signal with that of a sine wave
generator. The initial slope is adjusted with the potentiometer

, followed by an adjustment of R2. The final slope is

established by adjusting R
segments that are contributed by these diodes. Because
there is some interaction among these controls, repetition of
the adjustment procedure may be necessary.
Sweeping Generator
Figure 13 shows a sweeping generator. Three CA3140s are
used in this circuit. One CA3140 is used as an integrator, a
second device is used as a hysteresis switch that determines
the starting and stopping points of th e sweep. A third
CA3140 is used as a logarithmic shaping network for the log
function. Rates and slopes, as well as sawtooth, triangle,
and logarithmic sweeps are generated by this circuit.

key factors in the design of wide range output voltage
supplies that use a single input voltage to provide a
regulated output voltage that can be adjusted from

Essentially, the regulators, shown in Figures 16 and 17, are
connected as non inverting power operational amplifiers with a
gain of 3.2. An 8V reference input yields a maximum output
voltage slightly greater than 25V. As a voltage follower, when
the reference input goes to 0V the output will be 0V. Because
the offset voltage is also multiplied by the 3.2 gain factor, a
potentiometer is needed to null the offset voltage.
Series pass transistors with high I
levels will also

prevent the output voltage from reaching zero because there
is a finite voltage drop (V
) across the output of the
CESAT
CA3140 (see Figure 2). This saturation voltage level may
indeed set the lowest voltage obtainable.
The high impedance presented by Terminal 8 is
advantageous in effecting current limiting. Thus, only a small
signal transistor is required for the current-limit sensing
amplifier. Resistive decoupling is provided for this transistor
to minimize damage to it or the CA3140 in the event of
unusual input or output transients on the supply rail.
Figures 16 and 17, show circuits in which a D2201 high spe ed
diode is used for the current sensor . This diod e w as chosen
for its slightly higher f orward voltage drop characteristic, thus
giving greater sensitivity. It must be emphasized that heat
sinking of this diode is essential to minimize variation of the
current trip point due to internal heating of the diode. That is,
1A at 1V forward drop represents one wa tt which can result in
significant regenerative changes in the curren t trip point as the
diode temperature rises. Placing the small signal reference
amplifier in the proximity of the current sensing diode also
helps minimize the variability in the trip lev el due to the
negative temperature coefficient of the diode . In spite of those
limitations, the current limiting point can easi ly be adjusted
over the range from 10mA to 1A with a single adjustment
potentiometer. If the temper ature sta bility of the current
limiting system is a serious consideration, the more usual
current sampling resistor type of circuitry should be employed .
A power Darlington transistor (in a metal can with heatsink),
is used as the series pass element for the conventional
current limiting system, Figure 16, because high power
Darlington dissipation will be encountered at low output
voltage and high currents.

A small heat sink VERSAWATT transistor is used as the
series pass element in the fold back current system, Figure
17, since dissipation levels will only approach 10W. In this
system, the D2201 diode is used for current sampling.
Foldback is provided by the 3kΩ and 100kΩ divider network
connected to the base of the current sensing transistor.
Both regulators provide better than 0.02% load regulation.

Tone Control Circuits
High slew rate, wide bandwidth, high output voltage
capability and high input impedance are all characteristics
required of tone control amplifiers. Two tone control circuits
that exploit these characteristics of the CA3140 are shown in
Figures 19 and 20.
The first circuit, shown in Figure 20, is the Baxandall tone
control circuit which provides unity gain at midband and
uses standard linear potentiometers. The high input
impedance of the CA3140 makes possible the use of lowcost, low-value, small size capacitors, as well as reduced

Bass treble boost and cut are ±15dB at 100Hz and 10kHz,

amplifier gain is 3dB down from its “flat” position at 70kHz.

Wien Bridge Oscillator
Another application of the CA3140 that makes e xcellent use
of its high input impedance, high slew rate , an d high voltage
qualities is the Wien Bridge sine wav e oscillator. A basic Wien
Bridge oscillator is shown in Figure 21. When R
and C
= C2 = C, the frequency equation reduces to the
1
familiar f = 1/(2πRC) and the gain required for oscillation,
A
is equal to 3. Note that if C2 is increased by a factor of
OSC
four and R
is reduced by a factor of four, the gain required
2
for oscillation becomes 1.5, thus permitting a potentially
higher operating frequency closer to the gain bandwidth
product of the CA3140.

Oscillator stabilization takes on many forms. It must be
precisely set, otherwise the amplitude will either diminish or
reach some form of limiting with high levels of distortion. The
element, R
, is commonly replaced with some variable
S
resistance element. Thus, through some control means, the
value of R
is adjusted to maintain constant oscillator output.
S
A FET channel resistance, a thermistor, a lamp bulb, or other
device whose resistance increases as the output amplitude
is increased are a few of the elements often utilized.
Figure 22 shows another means of stabilizing the oscillator
with a zener diode shunting the feedback resistor (R
Figure 21). As the output signal amplitude increases, the
zener diode impedance decreases resulting in more
feedback with consequent reduction in gain; thus stabilizing
the amplitude of the output signal. Furthe rmore, this
combination of a monolithic zener diode and bridge rectifier
circuit tends to provide a zero temperature coefficient for this
regulating system. Because this bridge rectifier system has
no time constant, i.e., thermal time constant for the lamp
bulb, and RC time constant for filters often used in detector
networks, there is no lower frequency limit. For example , with
1µF polycarbonate capacitors and 22MΩ for the frequency
determining network, the operating frequency is 0.007Hz.
As the frequency is increased, the output amplitude must be
reduced to prevent the output signal from becoming slewrate limited. An output frequency of 180kHz will reach a slew
rate of approximately 9V/µs when its amplitude is 16V

Simple Sample-and-Hold System
Figure 23 shows a very simple sample-and-hold system
using the CA3140 as the readout amplifier for the storage
capacitor. The CA3080A serves as both input buff er amplifier
and low feed-through transmission switch (see Note 13).
System offset nulling is accomplished with the CA3140 via
its offset nulling terminals. A typical simulated load of 2kΩ
and 30pF is shown in the schematic.

Pulse “droop” during the hold interval is 170pA/200pF which is
0.85µV/µs; (i.e., 170pA/200pF). In this case, 170pA represents
the typical leakage current of the CA3080A when strobed off. If
C
were increased to 2000pF, the “hold-droop” rate will
1
decrease to 0.085µV/µs, but the slew rate would decrease to
0.25V/µs. The parallel diode network connected between
Terminal 3 of the CA3080A and T erminal 6 of the CA3140
prevents large input signal feedthrough across the input
terminals of the CA3080A to the 200pF storage capacitor when
the CA3080A is strobed off. Figure 24 shows dynamic
characteristic waveforms of this sample-and-hold system.

Current Amplifier
The low input terminal current needed to drive the CA3140
makes it ideal for use in current amplifier applications such
as the one shown in Figure 25 (see Note 14). In this circuit,
low current is supplied at the input potential as the power
supply to load resistor R
the multiplication factor R
monitored by the power supply meter M. Thus, if the load
current is 100nA, with values shown, the load current
presented to the supply will be 100µA; a much easier current
to measure in many systems.

CHARACTERISTICS WAVEFORMS
Note that the input and output voltages are transferred at the
same potential and only the output current is multiplied by
the scale factor.
The dotted components show a method of decoupling the
circuit from the effects of high output load capacitance and
the potential oscillation in this situation. Essentially, the
necessary high frequency feedback is provided by the
capacitor with the dotted series resistor providing load
decoupling.
Full Wave Rectifier
Figure 26 shows a single supply, absolute value, ideal fullwave rectifier with associated waveforms. 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 CA3140 functions as a
normal inverting amplifier with a gain equal to -R
2/R1
. When
the equality of the two equations shown in Figure 26 is
satisfied, the full wave output is symmetrical.

The photographs and dimensions represent a chip when it is
part of the wafer. When the wafer is cut into chips, the cleavage
angles are 57

instead of 90ο with respect to the face of the
chip. Therefore, the isolated chip is actually 7 mils (0.17mm)
