Voltage Regulators
Definition of Terms
Current-Limit Sense Voltage: The voltage across the current limit terminals required to cause the regulator to current-limit with a short circuited outpul. This voltage is used
to determine the value of the external current-limit resistor
when external booster transistors are used.
Dropout Voltage: The input-output voltage differential at
which the circuit ceases to regulate against further reductions in input voltage.
Feedback Sense Voltage: The voltage, referred to ground,
on the feedback terminal of the regulator while it is operating in regulation.
Input Voltage Range: The range of dc input voltages over
which the regulator will operate within specifications.
Line Regulation: The change in output voltage for a
change in the input voltage. The measurement is made under conditions of low dissipation or by using pulse techniques such that the average chip temperature is not significantly affected.

Output-Input Voltage Differential: The voltage difference
between the unregulated input voltage and the regulated
output voltage for which the regulator will operate within
specifications.
Output Noise Voltage: The RMS ac voltage at the output
with constant load and no inut ripple, measured over a
specified frequency range.
Output Voltage Range: The range of regulated output voltages over which the specifications apply.
Output Voltage Scale Factor: The output voltage obtained
for a unit value of resistance between the adjustment terminal and ground.
Quiescent Current: That par of input current to the regulator that is not delivered to the load.
Rlpply Rejection: The line regulation for ac inupt Signals at
or above a given frequency with a specified value of bypass
capacitor on the reference bypass terminal.
Standby Current Drain: That part of the operating current
of the regulator which does not contribute to the load currenl. (See Quiescent Current)
Temperature Stability: The percentage change in output
voltage for a thermal variation from room temperature to
either temperature extreme.
Thermal Regulation: Percentage change in output voltage
for a given change in power diSSipation over a specified time
period.

Load Regulation: The change in output voltage for a
change in load current at constant chip temperature.
Long Term Stability: Output voltage stability under accelerated life-test conditions at 12SoC with maximum rated voltages and power dissipation for 1000 hours.
Maximum Power Dissipation: The maximum total device
dissipation for which the regulator will operate within specifications.

Since a current source is used as a reference, this makes

DESCRIPTION OF OPTIONS
Ripple Rejection Compensation. (Increases Ripple ReJection Typically to 80 dB)
The ripple rejection may be improved by connecting an external capacitor between pin 9 and ground. (The typical performance curves show the rejection with a capacitance of
2.2/LFd.)

Current Limit Programming
The maximum current output of the device may be limited
by adding two external resistors as shown below. The resistor values are easily calculated with the following equation:

TL/H/5549-4

FIGURE 1

This programmable current limit feature can be extended to
make the LH0075 a programmable constant current source.
This can be done by leaving pin 9 open and setting
RUMIT and RSENSE as desired.
For applications where the current limit is used, a minimum
load current of 100 /LA is established at the output. This
arises from the fact that the constant current used in setting
maximum output current is 100 1lA, and it goes directly to
the output of the LH0075. If the total current drawn from the
output is less than the minimum, the output will rise.

External Voltage Programming
An external resistance can be connected between pin 9 and
ground to obtain any voltage from 0 to 27V using the following equation:
R
EXT

VOUT Desired
1 mA

The reference current (IREF) has a typical temperature coefficient of-65 ppml"C. Choosing a resistive material with a
temperature coefficient of 65 ppml"C will compensate the
negative temperature coefficient, resulting in an output voltage with minimal change over the operating temperature
range. Example of a good resistive material is Nichrome,
which has a typical temperature coefficient of 80 ppml"C.

As in the remote voltage adjustment application, remote
current sensing can be applied similarly. RSENSE must be
placed as close to the output of the LH0075 as pOSSible, but
RUMIT can be a fixed resistor or potentiometer located remotely from the device.

LH7001
Positive/Negative Adjustable Regulator
General Description
The LH7001 combines a positive and a negative adjustable
regulator in one package. Both can supply 100 mA over a
1.2V to 37V output range. It is exceptionally easy to use and
requires only two external resistors on each side to set the
output voltage.
In addition to high performance both sides of the LH7001
offer full overload protection. Included are current limit, thermal overload protection and safe area protection. All overload protection Circuitry remains fully functional even if the
adjustment terminal is disconnected.
The LH7001 is intended for voltage and current regulation in
systems where both polarities are required. This is, e.g., the
case with supplies for op-amps and buffers, where the
LH7001 can also be used to protect from overloads.
Normally, for stable operation, no external capaCitor is
needed on the positive side. The negative side requires only
a single 1 p.F solid tantalum capacitor. On both sides, larger
output capacitors can be added to improve transient response. In case the device is further than 6 inches from the
input filter capaCitors, input bypass capaCitors are needed.
The adjustment terminals can be bypassed to achieve very
high ripple rejection.
The positive and the negative regulator are electrically separated and can therefore be used independent from each
other. Since each regulator is "floating" and sees only the

input to output differential voltage, supplies of several hundred volts can be regulated as long as the maximum inputto-output differential is not exceeded.
The LH7001 is available in a standard molded 8 pin DIP as
LH7001CN with a temperature range of -40"C to + 125'C,
and in an 8 pin TO-5 package as LH7001 H with a temperature range from - 55'C to + 150'C.

LH7001

In operation, the positive regulator develops a nominal
1.25V reference voltage, VREF, between the output and the
adjust terminal (Figure 1). The negative regulator develops
-1.25V. The reference voltage is impressed across program resistor Rt and, since the voltage is constant, a constant current 11 then flows through the output set resistor
R2, giving an output voltage of VOUT = VREF (1 + R2/R1)
+ IADJ (R2)

FIGURE 1. Positive Voltage Regulator

FIGURE 2. Choice of Capacitors for Stable Operation
Since the current from the adjustment terminal represents
an error term, the LH7001 was designed to minimize IADJ
and make it very constant with line and load changes. To do
this, all quiescent operating current is returned to the output
establishing a minimum load current requirement. If there is
insufficient load on the output, the output voltage will rise.
IADJ is typically 50 poA (see graph in Typical Performance
Characteristics).

An input bypass capacitor is recommended for both the
positive and the negative regulator in case the regulator is
more than 6 inches away from the usual large filter capacitor. A 0.1 poF disk or 1 poF tantalum on the inputs is suitable
bypassing for almost all applications. The device is more
sensitive to the absence of input bypassing when adjustment or output capacitors are used, but the above values
will eliminate the possibility of problems.

The positive regulator is stable with no output capacitors.
However, like any feedback circuit, certain values of external capacitance can cause excessive ringing. For the positive regulator these values are between 500 pF and
5000 pF. Additional capacitance on the output will correct
the problem.
To stabilize the negative side, a lossy capacitor of more
than 0.1 poF is needed from the negative output to ground. A
1 poF tantalum or 3.90 in series with a 0.1 poF ceramic will
meet the requirement (Figure 2). However, in some applications, like on the supply voltage for an op-amp, a high grade
bypass capacitor is needed. In this case a lossy ceramic
bead in series with the negative output, followed by 0.1 poF
to ground, is recommended (Figure 3). The bead needs to
be optimized for frequencies around 1 MHz, a Fair-Rite
2673000101 works well.

Improved Ripple Rejection

...I

A resistor value of 3.90 in series with the output followed by
a 0.1 p.F to ground is another way to suppress oscillations
of the negative regulator, but this is only acceptable where
the load regulation is not critical (Figure 4).

The adjustment terminals on both the positive and the negative regulator can be bypassed to ground to improve ripple
rejection and noise. These bypass capacitors prevent ripple
and noise from being amplified. With 10 p.F bypass capacitors 80 dB ripple rejection is obtainable at any output level.
Increases over 10 p.F do not appreciable increase the ripple
rejection at frequencies above 120 Hz. If bypass capacitors
are used, it is sometimes necessary to include protection
diodes (see next section) to prevent the capacitors from
discharging through internal low current paths and damaging the device (Figure 6).

FIGURE 6. LH7001 with Improved Ripple ReJection'

In the current limit mode the negative regulator has a series
sense resistor which separates the device from the load and
its bypass capacitor. A 0.1 ",F ceramic capacitor in series
with 3.90 from the output to ground will suppress oscillations (Figure 5).

Protection Diodes
When external capacitors are used with any IC regulator, it
is sometimes necessary to add protection diodes to prevent
the capacitors from discharging through low current points
into the regulator. Most 10 ",F capacitors have low enough
internal series resistance to deliver 20A spikes when shorted. Although the surge is short, there is enough energy to
damage the device.

.vlN 0--_--=1 ,•

When an output capacitor is connected to a regulator and
the input is shorted, the output capacitor will discharge into
the output of the regulator. Figure 7 shows how to protect
the device with discharge diodes.

mum performance. The current set resistor connected between the adjustment terminal and the output terminal (usually 2400.) should be tied directly to the output of the regulator rather than near the load. This eliminates line drops from
appearing effectively in series with the reference and degrading regulation. For example, a 15V regulator with
50 mo. resistance between the regulator and load will have
a load regulation due to line resistance of 50 mo. x IL. If the
set resistor is connected near the load the effective line
resistance will be 50 mo. (1 + R2/R1) or, in this case, 11.5
times worse.

It is easy to minimize the resistance from the case to the set
resistor, by using two separate leads to the output pin. The
ground of R2 can be returned near the ground of the load to
provide remote ground sensing and improve load regulation.

TLIK110127-14

FIGURE 7. LH7001 with Large Capacitive Loads'
The discharge current depends on the value of the capaci·
tor, the output voltage of the regulator, and the rate of decrease of VIN. In the LH7001 the discharge path is through
a large junction that is able to sustain a 2A surge without
being degraded. For output capacitors of 10 J.l.F or less, the
LH7001's ballast resistors and output structure limit the
peak current to a low enough level so that there is no need
to use protection diodes.

The setting resistor is normally chosen to be 2400. The
reference voltage of 1.25V causes a current of 5.2 rnA to
flow, which is much larger than the maximally 100 ",A flowing through the adjustment pin. This makes the regulation
very stable. However, if a smaller set current is desired, the
setting resistor can be increased at the expense of voltage
accuracy, e.g. to 2 ko..

The bypass capacitor on the adjustment terminal can discharge through a low current junction. Discharge occurs
when either the input or output is shorted. When shorts
might occur and the capacitance is in excess of 10 J.l.F discharge diodes are recommended (Figure 6).

Thermal Regulation
When power is dissipated in an IC, temperature gradient
occurs across the chip affecting the individual IC circuit
components. With an IC regulator, this gradient can be especially severe since power dissipation is large. Thermal
regulation is the effect of these temperature gradients on
output voltage (in percentage output change) per Watt of
power change in a specified time. Thermal regulation error
is independent of electrical regulation or temperature coefficient and occurs within 5 ms to 50 ms atter a change in
power dissipation. Thermal regulation depends on IC layout
as well as electrical design. The thermal regulation of a voltage regulator is defined as the percentage change of VOUT,
per Watt, within the first 10 ms atter a step of power is
applied. The LH7002 specification is 0.2 %/W, maximum.

Capacitors
In general, the best type of capacitor to use are solid tantalum. These capacitors have low impedance even at high
frequencies. Depending on capacitor construction, it takes
about 25 J.l.F in aluminum electrolytic to equal 1 J.l.F solid
tantalum at high frequencies. Ceramic capacitors are also
good at high frequencies, but some types have a large decrease in capacitance at frequencies around 5 MHz. For this
reason, a 0.01 J.l.F disk may work better than a 0.1 J.l.F disk
as a bypass.

Load Regulation
The LH7001 is capable of providing extremely good load
regulation, but a few precautions are needed to obtain maxi-

Current Limiting and Thermal Protection
Both the positive and the negative regulator protect themselves as well as the loads. They do this by limiting the
current and by a thermal shutdown feature that cuts in

The thermal shutdown will cut the current off as soon as the
thermal sensor reaches typically 162'C. Thus the cut-off depends on the power dissipated in the LH7001 and the thermal resistance:

Figure 9 shows the dissipation of the positive and the negative regulator for the DIP package. The conditions are symmetrical as shown in Figure 10. The current through the
regulators is held at a constant ± 100 mAo With increasing
voltage the dissipation in the device increases, and the positive regulator starts to turn off in a pulsed fashion. When the
power is increased further, the positive regulator is OFF and
the negative regulator goes into pulsed thermal shutdown.
Figure 11 shows the same graph for the TO-5 package.
It needs to be mentioned that the LH7001CN in the DIP
package will be protected from catastrophic failure, but if
operated in thermal shutdown frequently or for long durations the thermal shutdown temperature of nominally 162'C,
will reduce the lifetime of the plastic package.

There are also two time constants involved. One is the time
constant of the chip; it is typically 100 ms. The other one is
the time constant of the package; it is typically 20 sec (the
exact value depends on the type of cooling, heatsink, etc.).
This means that for a short time the device can absorb more
power than in a steady state condition.
The thermal protection on each side is independent of the
other. When the protection cuts in, the output current becomes pulse width modulated. In this way the dissipation in
the device is limited. The repetition time can range from
several tens to several hundreds of milliseconds, with the
faster times for the higher overstress. Normally, under symmetrical electric conditions, the positive side will go into
thermal protection before the negative side.

The LM104 series are precision voltage regulators which
can be programmed by a single external resistor to supply
any voltage from 40V down to zero while operating from a
single unregulated supply. They can also provide O.Q1-percent regulation in circuits using a separate, floating bias
supply, where the output voltage is limited only by the
breakdown of external pass transistors. Although designed
primarily as linear, series regulators, the circuits can be used
as switching regulators, current regulators or in a number of
other control applications. Typical performance characteristics are:

The LM104 series is the complement of the LM105 positive
regulator, intended for systems requiring regulated negative
voltages which have a common ground with the unregulated
supply. By themselves, they can deliver output currents to
25 mA, but external transistors can be added to get any
desired current. The output voltage is set by external resistors, and either constant or folilback current limiting is made
available.
The LM104 .is specified for operation over the -55"C to
+ 125"C military temperature range. The LM204 is specified
for operation over the - 25"C to + 85"C temperature range.
The LM304 is specified for operation from O"C to + 70"C.

Note 1: The maximum junction temperature of the LM104 Is 150'0, while that of the LM204 Is 125'0 and LM304 is 100'0. For operating at elevated temperatures,
devices In the Hl00 package must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 150'0/W.lunctlon to ambient, or 45'0/W, Junction to case.
Note 2: These specifications apply for Junction temperatures between - 55'0 and 160'0 (between - 26'0 and 100'0 for the LM204 and 0'0 to +85'0 for the
LM304) and for Input and output voltages within the ranges given, unless otherwise specified. The load and line regulation specifications are lor constantlunctlon
temperature. Temperature drift effecta must be taken Into account separately when the unit Is operating under conditions of high dissipation.
Note 3: When exlernal booster transistors are used, the minimum output·lnput voltage differential Is Increased, In the worst case, by approximately 1V.
Noto 4: Tho output currants glvon, as well as the load regulation. can be Increased by the addition of external transistors. The Improvement factor will be roughly
equal to the composite current gain of the added transistors.
Nole 5: With zero output. the de line regulation Is determined from tho rlpplo rejection. Honea, with output voltagos betwoen OVand - 5V, a de output variation,
determined from the ripple relection, must be added to find the worst·case line regulation.
Nota 6: Refer to RETSt04X drawing for military specifications for the LM104.

LM 105/LM205/LM305/LM305A,
LM376 Voltage Regulators
General Description
• DC line regulation guaranteed at 0.03%1V
.• Ripple rejection on 0.01%V
• 45 mA output current without external pass transistor
(LM305A)

The LM105 series are positive voltage regulators similar to.
the LM100, except that an extra gain stage has been added
for improved regulation. A redesign of the biasing circuitry
removes any minimum load current requirement and at the
same time reduces standby current drain, permitting higher
voltage operation. They are direct, plug-in replacements for
the LM 100 in both linear and switching regulator circuits
with output voltages greater than 4.5V. Important characteristics of the circuits are:
• Output voltage adjustable from 4.5V to 40V
• Output currents in excess of 10A possible by adding
external transistors
• Load regulation better than 0.1 %, full load with current
limiting

Like the LM100, they also feature fast response to both load
and line transients, freedom from oscillations with varying
resistive and reactive loads and the ability to start reliably on
any load within rating. The circuits are built on a single silicon chip and are supplied in either an a-lead, TO-5 header
or a 1/4" x 1/4" metal flat package.
The LM105 is specified for operation for -55·C ,;; TA ,;;
+ 125·C, the LM205 is specified for - 25·C ,;; TA ,;; + a5·C,
and the LM305/LM305A, LM376 is specified for O·C ,;; TA
,;; +70·C.

Note I: The maximum junction temperatura of the LMI 05 and LM305A is 150"C, the LM205 and LM376 is lOO"C, and the LM305 is S5"C. For operation at elevated temperatures, devices in the HOSC package must be derated based
on a thermal resistance of 16S'C/W junction to ambient or 25'C/W junction to case. For the epoxy dual·in·line peckage, derating is based on a thermal resistance of 13S'C/W junction to ambient Peak dissipations to IW are
allowable providing the dissipetion rating is not exceeded with the power average over a five second interval for the LMI05 and LM205, and averaged over a two second interval for the LM305_
Note 2: Unless otherwise specified, these specifications apply for temperatures within the operating temperature range, for input and output voltages within the range given, and for a divider impedance seen by the feedback terminal
of 2 kll. Load and line regulation specifications are for a constant junction temperature_ Temperature drill effects must be taken into account separately when the unR is operating under condRions of high dissipation.
_ Note 3: The output currents given, as well as the load regulation, can be Increased by the addition of external transistors. The improvement factor will be roughly equal to the composite current gain of the added transistors.
Note 4: Wrth no extemal pass transistor.
Note 5: Refer to RETSI05X Drawing for milRary specifications for the LMI05.

LM109/LM309 5-Volt Regulator

U)

General Description
The LM109 series are complete BV regulators fabricated on
a single silicon chip. They are designed for local regulation
on digital logic cards, eliminating the distribution problems
association with single-point regulation. The devices are
available in two standard transistor packages. In the solidkovar TO-B header, it can deliver output currents in excess
of 200 mA, if adequate heat sinking is provided. With the
TO-3 power package, the available output current is greater
than 1A.
The regulators are essentially blowout proof. Current limiting
is included to limit the peak output current to a safe value. In
addition, thermal shutdown is provided to keep the IC from
overheating. If internal dissipation becomes too great, the
regulator will shut down to prevent excessive heating.
Considerable effort was expended to make these devices
easy to use and to minimize the number of external components. It is not necessary to bypass the output, although this
does improve transient response somewhat. Input bypassing is needed, however, if the regulator is located very

far from the filter capacitor of the power supply. Stability is
also achieved by methods that provide very good rejection
of load or line transients as are usually seen with TTL logic.
Although designed primarily as a fixed-voltage regulator, the
output of the LM1 09 series can be set to voltages above BV,
as shown. It is also possible to use the circuits as the control element in precision regulators, taking advantage of the
good current-handling capability and the thermal overload
protection.

Features
• Specified to be compatible, worst case, with TTL and
DTL
• Output current in excess of 1A
• Internal thermal overload protection
• No external components required

Application Hints
a. Bypass the Input of the LM109 to ground with;:;: 0.2 "F
ceramic or solid tantalum capacitor if main filter capacitor
is more than 4 inches away.

f. Preventing latchoff for loads connected to negative
voltage:
If the output of the LM109 is pulled negative by a high current supply so that the output pin is more than 0.5V negative
with respect to the ground pin, the LM1 09 can latch off. This
can be prevented by clamping the ground pin to the output
pin with a germanium or Schottky diode as shown. A silicon
diode (1 N4001) at the output is also needed to keep the
positive output from being pulled too far negative. The 100
resistor will raise + VOUT by ;:::; 0.05V.

b. Use steel package instead of aluminum if more than
5,000 thermal cycles are expected. (AT;:;: 50'C)
c. Avoid insertion of regulator into "live" socket if input
voltage is greater than 10V. The output will rise to within
2V of the unregulated input if the ground pin does not
make contact, possibly damaging the load. The LM109
may also be damaged if a large output capacitor is
charged up, then discharged through the internal clamp
zener when the ground pin makes contact.
d. The output clamp zener is designed to absorb transients only. It will not clamp the output effectively if a
failure occurs in the internal power transistor structure.
Zener dynamic impedance is ;:::; 40. Continuous RMS
current into the zener should not exceed 0.5A.

e. Paralleling of LM109s for higher output current is not
recommended. Current sharing will be almost nonexistent, leading to a current limit mode operation for devices
with the highest initial output voltage. The current limit
devices may also heat up to the thermal shutdown point
(;:::; 175"C). Long term reliability cannot be guaranteed
under these conditions.

LM117A/LM117/LM317A/LM317
3-Terminal Adjustable Regulator
General Description
The LM117 series of adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage
regulators is capable of supplying in excess of 1.5A over a
1.2V to 37V output range. They are exceptionally easy to
use and require only two external resistors to set the output
voltage. Further, both line and load regulation are better
than standard fixed regulators. Also, the LM 117 is packaged
in standard transistor packages which are easily mounted
and handled.

The LM117 series devices with a "K" suffix are packaged in
standard TO-3 transistor packages, while those with an "H"
suffix are in a solid Kovar-base TO-39 transistor package.
The LM117A and LM117 are rated for operation from
-55'C to + 150'C, the LM317A from -40'C to +125'C,
and the LM317 from O'C to + 125'C. The LM317AT and the
LM317T are available in a TO-220 plastic package and the
LM317MP in a TO-202 plastic package.

In addition to higher performance than fixed regulators, the
LM117 series offers full overload protection available only in
IC's. Included on the chip are current limit, thermal overload
protection and safe area protection. All overload protection
circuitry remains fully functional even if the adjustment terminal is disconnected.

For applications requiring greater output current, see LM150
series (3A) and LM138 series (5A) data sheets. For the negative complement, see LM137 series data sheet.

Part Number
Suffix

Normally, no capacitors are needed unless the device is
situated more than 6 inches from the input filter capacitors
in which case an input bypass is needed. An optional output
capacitor can be added to improve transient response. The
adjustment terminal can be bypassed to achieve very high
ripple rejection ratios which are difficult to achieve with standard 3-terminal regulators.
Besides replacing fixed regulators, the LM117 is useful in a
wide variety of other applications. Since the regulator is
"floating" and sees only the input-to-output differential voltage, supplies of several hundred volts can be regulated as
long as the maximum input to output differential is not exceeded, i.e., avoid short-circuiting the output.
Also, it makes an especially simple adjustable switching regulator, a programmable output regulator, or by connecting a
fixed resistor between the adjustment pin and output, the
LM117 can be used as a precision current regulator. Supplies with electronic shutdown can be achieved by clamping
the adjustment terminal to ground which programs the output to 1.2V where most loads draw little current.

Application Hints
In operation, the LM117 develops a nominal 1.25V reference voltage, VREF, between the output and adjustment terminal. The reference voltage is impressed across program
resistor R1 and, since the voltage is constant, a constant
current 11 then flows through the output set resistor R2, giving an output voltage of
VOUT = VREF (1

tween 500 pF and 5000 pF. A 1 /LF solid tantalum (or 25 /LF
aluminum electrolytic) on the output swamps this effect and
insures stability. Any increase of the load capacitance larger
than 10 /LF will merely improve the loop stability and output
impedance.
Load Regulation
The LM117 is capable of providing extremely good load regulation but a few precautions are needed to obtain maximum performance. The current set resistor connected between the adjustment terminal and the output terminal (usually 2400) should be tied directly to the output (case) of the
regulator rather than near the load. This eliminates line
drops from appearing effectively in series with the reference
and degrading regulation. For example, a 15V regulator with
0.050 resistance between the regulator and load will have a
load regulation due to line resistance of 0.050 x IL. If the
set resistor is connected near the load the effective line
resistance will be 0.050 (1 + R2/R1) or in this case, 11.5
times worse.

Figure 2 shows the effect of resistance between the regulator and 2400 set resistor.
LMll1

TL/H/9063-5

FIGURE 1
Since the 100 /LA current from the adjustment terminal represents an error term, the LM117 was designed to minimize
IADJ and make it very constant with line and load changes.
To do this, all quiescent operating current is returned to the
output establishing a minimum load current requirement. If
there is insufficient load on the output, the output will rise.

External Capacitors
An input bypass capacitor is recommended. A 0.1 /LF disc
or 1 /LF solid tantalum on the input is suitable input bypassing for almost all applications. The device is more sensitive
to the absence of input bypassing when adjustment or output capacitors are used but the above values will eliminate
the possibility of problems.

TUH/9063-6

FIGURE 2. Regulator with Line Resistance
in Output Lead
With the TO-3 package, it is easy to minimize the resistance
from the case to the set resistor, by using two separate
leads to the case. However, with the TO-5 package, care
should be taken to minimize the wire length of the output
lead. The ground of R2 can be returned near the ground of
the load to provide remote ground senSing and improve
load regulation.

The adjustment terminal can be bypassed to ground on the
LM117 to improve ripple rejection. This bypass capacitor
prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is
increased. With a 10 /LF bypass capacitor 80 dB ripple re:
jection is obtainable at any output level. Increases over
10 /LF do not appreciably improve the ripple rejection at
frequencies above 120 Hz. If the bypass capacitor is used, it
is sometimes necessary to include protection diodes to prevent the capacitor from discharging through internal low current paths and damaging the device.
In general, the best type of capacitors to use is solid tantalum. Solid tantalum capacitors have low impedance even at
high frequencies. Depending upon capacitor construction, it
takes about 25 /LF in aluminum electrolytic to equal 1 /LF
solid tantalum at high frequencies. Ceramic capacitors are
also good at high frequencies; but some types have a large
decrease in capacitance at frequencies around 0.5 MHz.
For this reason, 0.Q1 /LF disc may seem to work better than
a 0.1 /LF disc as a bypass.
Although the LM117 is stable with no output capacitors, like
any feedback circuit, certain values of external capacitance
can cause excessive ringing. This occurs with values be-

Protection Diodes
When external capacitors are used with any IC regulator it is
sometimes necessary to add protection diodes to prevent
the capacitors from discharging through low current points
into the regulator. Most 10 /LF capaCitors have low enough
internal series resistance to deliver 20A spikes when shorted. Although the surge is short, there is enough energy to
damage parts of the IC.
When an output capacitor is connected to a regulator and
the input is shorted, the output capaCitor will discharge into
the output of the regulator. The discharge current depends
on the value of the capacitor, the output voltage of the regulator, and the rate of decrease of VIN. In the LM117, this
discharge path is through a large junction that is able to
sustain 15A surge with no problem. This is not true of other
types of positive regulators. For output capaCitors of 25 p.F
or less, there is no need to use diodes.

current. No protection is needed for' output voltages of 25V
or less and 10 /loF capacitance. Figure 3 shows an LM117
with protection diodes included for use with outputs greater
than 25V and high values of output capacitance.

The bypass capacitor on the adjustment terminal can discharge through a low current junction.' Discharge occurs
when either the input or output is shorted. Internal to the
LM117 is a 500. resistor which limits the peak discharge

General Description
The LM117HV/LM317HV are adjustable 3-terminal positive
voltage regulators capable of supplying in excess of 1.5A
over a 1.2V to 57V output range. They are exceptionally
easy to use and require only two external resistors to set the
output voltage. Further, both line and load regulation are
better than standard fixed regulators. Also, the LM117HV is
packaged in standard transistor packages which are easily
mounted and handled.

Also, it makes an especially simple adjustable switching regulator, a programmable output regulator, or by connecting a
fixed resistor between the adjustment and output, the
LM117HV can be used as a precision current regulator.
Supplies with electronic shutdown can be achieved by
clamping the adjustment terminal to ground which programs
the output to 1.2V where most loads draw little current.

In addition to higher performance than fixed regulators, the
LM 117HV series offers full overload protection available
only in IC's. Included on the chip are current limit, thermal
overload protection and safe area protection. All overload
protection circuitry remains fully functional even if the adjustment terminal is disconnected.
Normally, no capaCitors are needed unless the device is
situated more than 6 inches from the input filter capaCitors
in which case an input bypass is needed. An optional output
capaCitor can be added to improve transient response. The
adjustment terminal can be bypassed to achieve very high
ripple rejections ratios which are difficult to achieve with
standard 3-terminal regulators.
Besides replacing fixed regulators, the LM 117HV is useful in
a wide variety of other applications. Since the regulator is
"floating" and sees only the input-to-output differential voltage, supplies of several hundred volts can be regulated as
long as the maximum input to output differential is not exceeded, i.e. do not short the output to ground.

The LM117HVK STEEL, and LM317HVK STEEL are packaged in standard TO-3 transistor packages while the
LM117HVH, and LM317HVH are packaged in a solid Kovar
base TO-39 transistor package. The LM 117HV is rated for
operation from - 55·C to + 150·C, and the LM317HV from
O·C to + 125·C.

Application Hints
In operation, the LM117HV develops a nominal1.25V reference voltage, VREF, between the output and adjustment terminal. The reference voltage is impressed across program
resistor R1 and, since the voltage is constant, a constant
current 11 then flows through the output set resistor R2, giving an output voltage of

:::i

.....

Your

=

VREF ( 1 +

:~)

tance can cause excessive ringing. This occurs with values
between 500 pF and 5000 pF. A 1 p.F solid tantalum (or 25
p.F aluminum electrolytic) on the output swamps this effect
and insures stability. Any increase of load capacitance larger than 10 p.F will merely improve the loop stability and
output impedance.
Load Regulation
The LM117HV is capable of providing extremely good load
regulation but a few precautions are needed to obtain maximum performance. The current set resistor connected between the adjustment terminal and the output terminal (usually 2400) should be tied directly to the output of the regulator rather than near the load. This eliminates line drops from
appearing effectively in series with the reference and degrading regulation. For example, a 15V regulator with 0.050
resistance between the regulator and load will have a load
regulation due to line resistance of 0.050 x IL. If the set
resistor is connected near the load the effective line resistance will be 0.050 (1 + R2/R1) or in this case, 11.5 times
worse.
Figure 2 shows the effect of resistance between the regulator and 2400 set resistor.

Since the 100 p.A current from the adjustment terminal represents an error term, the LM117HV was designed to minimize IADJ and make it very constant with line and load
changes. To do this, all quiescent operating current is retumed to the output establishing a minimum load current
requirement. If there is insufficient load on the output, the
output will rise.

External Capacitors
An input bypass capacitor is recommended. A 0.1 p.F disc
or 1 p.F solid tantalum on the input is suitable input bypassing for almost all applications. The device is more sensitive
to the absence of input bypassing when adjustment or output capacitors are used but the above values will eliminate
the possiblity of problems.
The adjustment terminal can be bypassed to ground on the
LM117HV to improve ripple rejection. This bypass capacitor
prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is
increased. With a 10 p.F bypass capacitor 80 dB ripple rejection is obtainable at any output level. Increases over 10
p.F do not appreciably improve the ripple rejection at frequencies above 120 Hz. If the bypass capacitor Is used, It is
sometimes necessary to Include protection diodes to prevent the capacitor from discharging through intemallow current paths and damaging the device.
In general, the best type of capacitors to use are solid tantalum. Solid tantalum capacitors have low Impedance even at
high frequencies. Depending upon capacitor construction, It
takes about 25 ",F In aluminum electrolytic to equal 1 ",F
solid tantalum at high frequencies. Ceramic capacitors are
also good at high frequenciesj but some types have a large
decrease In capacitance at frequencies around 0.5 MHz.
For this reason, 0.01 ",F disc may seem to work better than
a 0.1 ",F disc as a bypass.
Although the LM117HV Is stable with no output capacitors,
like any feedback circuit, certain values of external capaci-

TUH/9062-6

FIGURE 2. Regulator with Line
Resistance In Output Lead
With the TO-3 package, it is easy to minimize the resistance
from the case to the set resistor, by using two separate
leads to the case. However, with the TO-5 package, care
should be taken to minimize the wire length of the output
lead. The ground of R2 can be returned near the ground of
the load to provide remote ground sensing and improve
load regulation.
Protection Diodes
When external capacitors are used with any IC regulator it is
sometimes necessary to add protection diodes to prevent
the capaCitors from discharging through low current pOints
Into the regulator. Most 10 ",F capacitors have low enough
Internal series resistance to deliver 20A spikes when shorted. Although the surge Is short, there Is enough energy to
damage parts of the IC.
When an output capaCitor Is connected to a regulator and
the Input is shorted, the output capaCitor will discharge into
the output of the regulator. The discharge current depends
on the, value of the capacitor, the output voltage of the regulator, and the rate of decrease of VIN. In the LM117HV, this
discharge path is through a large junction that is able to
sustain 15A surge with no problem. This Is not true of other
types of positive regulators. For output capacitors of 25 ",F
or less, there is no need to use diodes.

1-60

The bypass capacitor on the adjustment terminal can discharge through a low current junction. Discharge occurs
when either the input or output is shorted. Internal to the
LM117HV is a 50n resistor which limits the peak discharge
current. No protection is needed for output voltages of 25V
or less and 10 /J-F capacitance. Figure :; shows an
LM117HV with protection diodes included for use with outputs greater than 25V and high values of output capacitance.

~ Semiconductor
LM120/LM320
Series 3-Terminal Negative Regulators
General Description
The LM120 series are three-terminal negative regulators
with a fixed output voltage of - 5V, -12V, and -15V, and
up to 1.5A load current capability. Where other voltages are
required, the LM137 and LM137HV series provide an output
voltage range of -1.2V to -47V.
The LM120 need only one external component-a compensation capacitor at the output, making them easy to apply.
Worst case guarantees on output voltage deviation due to
any combination of line, load or temperature variation assure satisfactory system operation.
Exceptional effort has been made to make the LM120 Series immune to overload conditions. The regulators have
current limiting which is independent of temperature, combined with thermal overload protection. Internal current limiting protects against momentary faults while thermal shutdown prevents junction temperatures from exceeding safe
limits during prolonged overloads.

Features
Preset output voltage error less than ± 3%
Preset current limit
Internal thermal shutdown
Operates with input-output voltage differential down to
1V
• Excellent ripple rejection
• Low temperature drift
• Easily adjustable to higher output voltage
•

LM 120 Series Packages and Power Capability
Device
LM120/LM320

Although primarily intended for fixed output voltage applications, the LM120 Series may be programmed for higher output voltages with a simple resistive divider. The low quiescent drain current of the devices allows this technique to be
used with good regulation.

Note 1: This specification applies over -55°C s TJ S +150°C for the LM120 and O°C s TJ 5: +125°C for the LM320.
Note 2: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects must be taken into account separately. To ensure constant junction temperature, low duty cycle, pulse testing is
used. The LM120/LM320 series does have low thermal feedback, improving line and load regulation. On all other tests, even though power dissipation is internally limited, electrical specifications apply only up to PO.
Note 3: For -5V 3 amp regulators., see LM145 data sheet
Note 4: Thermal resistance of typically 85 C/W (in 400 linear feet air flow), 224D C/W (in static air) junction to ambient, of typically 21 CIW junction to case.

LM 123A/LM 123/LM323A/LM323
3-Amp, 5-Volt Positive Regulator
General Description
The LM123 is a three-terminal positive regulator with Ii preset 5V output and a load driving capability of 3 amps. New
circuit design and processing techniques are used to provide the high output current without sacrificing the regulation
characteristics of lower current devices.
The LM123A and LM323A offer improved precision over the
standard LM123 and LM323. Parameters with tightened
specifications include output voltage tolerance, line regulation, and load regulation.
The 3 amp regulator is virtually blowout proof. Current limiting, power limiting, and thermal shutdown provide the same
high level of reliability obtained with these techniques in the
LM1091 amp regulator.
No external components are required for operation of the
LM123. If the device is more than 4 inches from the filter
capacitor, however, a 1 IJ-F solid tantalum capacitor should
be used on the input. A 0.1 IJ-F or larger capacitor may be
used on the output to reduce load transient spikes created
by fast switching digital logic, or to swamp out stray load
capacitance.
An overall worst case specification for the combined effects
of input voltage, load currents, ambient temperature, and

power dissipation ensure that the LM123 will perform satisfactorily as a system element.
For applications requiring other voltages, see LM150 series
adjustable regulator data sheet.
Operation is guaranteed over the junction temperature
range -55'C to +150'C for LM123A1LM123, -40'C to
+ 125'C for LM323A, and O'C to + 125'C for LM323. A hermetic TO-3 package is used for high reliability and low thermal resistance.

General Description

Features

The LM133/LM333 are adjustable 3-terminal negative voltage regulators capable of supplying in excess of -3.0A
over an output voltage range of -1.2V to '-32V. These
regulators are exceptionally easy to apply, requiring only 2
external resistors to set the output voltage and 1 output
capacitor for frequency compensation. The circuit design
has been optimized for excellent regulation and low the mal
transients. Further, the LM133 series features internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe-area compensation, making them virtually blowout-proof against overloads.

Thermal Regulation
When power is dissipated in an IC, a temperature gradient
occurs across the IC chip affecting the individual IC circuit
components. With an IC regulator, this gradient can be especially severe since power dissipation is large. Thermal
regulation is the effect of these temperature gradients on
output voltage (in percentage output change) per Watt of
power change in a specified time. Thermal regulation error
is independent of electrical regulation or temperature coefficient, and occurs within 5 ms to. 50 ms after a change in
power dissipation. Thermal reguliltion depends on IC layout
as well as electrical design. The thermal regulation of a voltage regulator is defined as the percentage change of VOUT,
per Watt, within the first 10 ms after a step of power is
applied. The LM137HV's specification is 0.02%/W, max.

In Figure 1, a typical LM137HV's output drifts only 3 mV (or
0.03% of VOUT = -10V) when a 10W pulse is applied for
10 ms. This performance is thus well inside the specification
limit of 0.02%/W x 10W = 0.2% max. When the 10W pulse
is ended, the thermal regulation again shows a 3 mV step as
the LM137HV chip cools off. Note that the load regulation
error of about 8 mV (0.08%) is additional to the thermal
regulation error. In Figure 2, when the 10W pulse is applied
for 100 ms, the output drifts only slightly beyond the drift in
the first 10 ms, and the thermal error stays well within 0.1 %
(10 mY).

General Description
The LM138 series of adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage
regulators is capable of supplying in excess of SA over a
1.2V to 32V output range. They are exceptionally easy to
use and require only 2 resistors to set the output voltage.
Careful circuit design has resulted in outstanding load and
line regulation-comparable to many commercial power'
supplies. The LM138 family is supplied in a standard 3-lead
transistor package.
A unique feature of the LM138 family is time-dependent currerit limiting. The current limit circuitry allows peak currents
of up to 12A to be drawn from the regulator for short periods
of time. This allows the LM138 to be used with heavy transient loads and speeds start-up under full-load conditions.
Under sustained loading conditions, the current limit decreases to a safe value protecting the regulator. Also included on the chip are thermal overload protection and safe
area protection for the power transistor. Overload protection
remains functional even if the adjustment pin Is accidentally
disconnected.
Normally, no capacitors are needed unless the device is
situated more than 6 inches from the input filter capacitors
in which case an input bypass is needed. An output capacitor can be added to improve transient response, while bypassing the adjustment pin will increase the regulator's ripple rejection.
Besides replacing fixed regulators or discrete designs, the
LM138 is useful in a wide variety of other applications. Since
the regulator is "floating" and sees only the input-to-output
differential voltage, supplies of several hundred volts can be

regulated as long as the maximum Input to output differential is not exceeded, i.e., do not short-circuit output to
ground. The part numbers in the LM138 series which have a
K suffix are packaged in a standard Steel TO-3 package,
while those with a T suffix are packaged in a TO-220 plastic
package. The LM138A1LM138 are rated for -SS'C :S: TJ :S:
+ lS0'C, while the LM338A is rated for - 40'C :S: TJ :S:
+ 12S'C, and the LM338 is rated for O'C :S: TJ :S: + 12S'C.

Nota 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.

Note 2: These specifications are applicable for power dissipations up to 50W for the TO·3 (K) package and 25W for the TO-220 (T) package. Power dissipation is
guaranteed at these values up to 15V input-output differential. Above 15V differential. power dissipation will be limited by internal protection circuitry. All limits (i.e.,
tihe numbers in the Min. and Max. columns) are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 3: Regulation is measured at a constant iunclion temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are
covered under the specifications for thermal regulation.

Note 4: Refer to RETS138K drawing for military specifications of LMI38K.

Load Regulation
The LM 138 is capable of providing extremely good load regulation but a few precautions are needed to obtain maximum performance. The current set resistor connected between the adjustment terminal and the output terminal (usually 240!1) should be tied directly to the output of the regulator (case) rather than near the load. This eliminates line
drops from appearing effectively in series with the reference
and degrading regulation. For example, a 15V regulator with
0.05!1 resistance between the regulator and load will have a
load regulation due to line resistance of 0.05!1 x IL. If the
set resistor is connected near the load the effective line
resistance will be 0.05!1 (1 + R2/Rl) or in this case, 11.5
times worse.
Figure 2 shows the effect of resistance between the regulator and 240!1 set resistor.

Application Hints
In operation, the LM138 develops a nominal 1.25V reference voltage, VREF, between the output and adjustment terminal. The reference voltage is impressed across program
resistor R 1 and, since the voltage is constant, a constant
current 11 then flows through the output set resistor R2, giving an output voltage of
VOUT

FIGURE 1
Since the 50 p,A current from the adjustment terminal represents an error term, the LM138 was designed to minimize
IADJ and make it very constant with line and load changes.
To do this, all quiescent operating current is returned to the
output establishing a minimum load current requirement. If
there is insufficient load on the output, the output will rise.

TLiH/9060-7

FIGURE 2. Regulator with Line
Resistance in Output Lead
With the TO-3 package, it is easy to minimize the resistance
from the case to the set resistor, by using 2 separate leads
to the case. The ground of R2 can be returned near the
ground of the load to provide remote ground sensing and
improve load regulation.

External Capacitors
An input bypass capacitor is recommended. A 0.1 p,F disc
or 1 p,F solid tantalum on the input is suitable input bypassing for almost all applications. The device is more sensitive
to the absence of input bypassiing when adjustment or output capacitors are used but the above values will eliminate
the possiblity of problems.

Protection Diodes
When external capacitors are used with any IC regulator it is
sometimes necessary to add protection diodes to prevent
the capacitors from discharging through low current pOints
into the regulator. Most 20 p,F capacitors have low enough
internal series resistance to deliver 20A spikes when shorted. Although the surge is short, there is enough energy to
damage parts of the IC.
When an output capacitor is connected to a regulator and
the input is shorted, the output capacitor will discharge into
the output of the regulator. The discharge current depends
on the value of the capacitor, the output voltage of the regulator, and the rate of decrease of VIN. In th'3 LM138 this
discharge path is through a large junction that is able to
sustain 25A surge with no problem. This is not true of other
types of positive regulators. For output capacitors of 100 p,F
or less at output of 15V or less, there is no need to use
diodes.
The bypass capacitor on the adjustment terminal can discharge through a low current junction. Discharge occurs
when either the input or output is shorted. Internal to the
LM138 is a 50!1 resistor which limits the peak discharge
current. No protection is needed for output voltages of 25V
or less and 10 p,F capacitance. Figure 3 shows an LM138
with protection diodes included for use with outputs greater
than 25V and high values of output capacitance.

The adjustment terminal can be bypassed to ground on the
LM138 to improve ripple rejection. This bypass capacitor
prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is
increased. With a 10 p,F bypass capacitor 75 dB ripple rejection is obtainable at any output level. Increases over
20 p,F do not appreciably improve the ripple rejection at
frequencies above 120 Hz. If the bypass capacitor is used, it
is sometimes necessary to include protection diodes to prevent the capacitor from discharging through internal low current paths and damaging the device.
In general, the best type of capacitors to use are solid tantalum. Solid tantalum capacitors have low impedance even at
high frequencies. Depending upon capacitor construction, it
takes about 25 p,F in aluminum electrolytic to equal 1 p,F
solid tantalum at high frequencies. Ceramic capacitors are
also good at high frequencies; but some types have a large
decrease in capacitance at frequencies around 0.5 MHz.
For this reason, 0.01 p,F disc may seem to work better than
a 0.1 p,F disc as a bypass.
Although the LM 138 is stable with no output capacitors, like
any feedback circuit, certain values of external capacitance
can cause excessive ringing. This occurs with values between 500 pF and 5000 pF. A 1 p,F solid tantalum (or 25 p,F
aluminum electrolytic) on the output swamps this effect and
insures stability.

LM 140A/LM 140/LM340A/LM340 Series
3-Terminal Positive Regulators
LM340AlLM340 series is also available in the TO-220 plastic power package as well as an aluminum TO-3 package.

General Description
The LM140AlLM140/LM340AlLM340 series of positive 3terminal voltage regulators are designed to provide superior
performance as compared to the previously available 78XX
series regulator. Computer programs were used to optimize
the electrical and thermal performance of the packaged IC
which results in outstanding ripple rejection, superior line
and load regulation in high power applications (over 15W).
With these advances in design, the LM340 is now guaranteed to have line and load regulation that is a factor of 2
better than previously available devices. Also, all parameters are guaranteed at 1A vs 0.5A output current. The
LM140AlLM340A provide tighter output voltage tolerance,
±2% along with 0.01%1V line regulation and 0.3%/A load
regulation.

For output voltages other than 5V, 12V, and 15V, the LM117
and LM117HV series provide an output voltage range from
+1.2Vto +57V.

Features
• Complete specifications at 1A load
• Output voltage tolerances of ± 2% at Tj = 25°C and
±4% over the temperature range (LM140AlLM340A)
• Fixed output voltages available 5, 12, and 15V
• Line regulation of 0.01% of VOUTIV of aVIN at 1A load
(LM140AlLM340A)
• Load regulation of 0.3% of VOUT/A (LM140AlLM340A)
• Internal thermal overload protection
• Internal short-circuit current limit
• Output transistor safe area protection
• 100% thermal limit burn-in
• Special circuitry allows start-up even if output is pulled
to negative voltage (± supplies)

Current limiting is included to limit peak output current to a
safe value. Safe area protection for the output transistor is
provided to limit internal power dissipation. If internal power
dissipation becomes too high for the heat sinking provided,
the thermal shutdown circuit takes over limiting die temperature.

LM140 Series Package and Power Capability

Considerable effort was expended to make the LM140-XX
series of regulators easy to use and minimize the number of
external components. It is not necessary to bypass the output, although this does improve transient response. Input
bypassing is needed only if the regulator is located far from
the filter capacitor of the power supply.

Device

Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators,
these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.
The entire LM140AlLM140/LM340AlLM340 series of regulators is available in the steel TO-3 power package. The

General Description

U1

The LM1S0 series of adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage
regulators is capable of supplying in excess of 3A over a
1.2V to 33V output range. They are exceptionally easy to
use and require only 2 external resistors to set the output
voltage. Further, both line and load regulation are comparable to discrete designs. Also, the LM1S0 is packaged in
standard transistor packages which are easily mounted and
handled.
In additio.n to higher performance than fixed regulators, the
LM1S0 series offers full overload protection available only in
IC's. Included on the chip are current limit, thermal overload
protection and safe area protection. All overload protection
circuitry remains fully functional even if the adjustment terminal is accidentally disconnected.
Normally, no capacitors are needed unless the device is
situated more than 6 inches from the input filter capacitors
in which case an input bypass is needed. An output capacitor can be added to improve transient response, while bypassing the adjustment pin will increase the regulator's ripple rejection.
Besides replacing fixed regulators or discrete designs, the
LM1S0 is useful in a wide variety of other applications. Since
the regulator is "floating" and sees only the input-to-output
differential voltage, supplies of several hundred volts can be
regulated as long as the maximum input to output differential is not exceeded, i.e., avoid short-circuiting the output.
By connecting a fixed resistor between the adjustment pin
and output, the LM1S0 can be used as a precision current
regulator. Supplies with electronic shutdown can be
achieved by clamping the adjustment terminal to ground

3:
Co)

which programs the output to 1.2V where most loads draw
little current.
The part numbers in the LM1S0 series which have a K suffix
are packaged in a standard Steel TO-3 package, while
those with a T suffix are packaged in a TO-220 plastic package. The LM1S0AlLM1S0 are rated for -SS·C ,;; TJ ,;;
+1S0·C, while the LM3S0A is rated for -40·C ,;; TJ ,;;
+ 12S·C, and the LM3S0 is rated for O·C ,;; TJ ,;; + 12S·C.

Application Hints
In operation, the LM150 develops a nominal 1.25V reference voltage, VREF, between the output and adjustment terminal. The reference voltage is impressed across program
resistor Rl and, since the voltage is constant, a constant
current 1, then flows through the output set resistor R2, giving an output voltage of
VOUT = VREF (1

LOAD REGULATION
The LM150 is capable of providing extremely good load regulation but a few precautions are needed to obtain maximum performance. The current set resistor connected between the adjustment terminal and the output terminal (usually 240m should be tied directly to the output (case) of the
regulator rather than near the load. This eliminates line
drops from appearing effectively in series with the reference
and degrading regulation. For example, a 15V regulator with
0.050 resistance between the regulator and load will have a
load regulation due to line resistance of 0.050 x lOUT. If
the set resistor is connected near the load the effective line
resistance will be 0.050 (1 + R2/Rl) or in this case, 11.5
times worse.
Figure 2 shows the effect of resistance between the regulator and 2400 set resistor.

FIGURE 1
Since the 50 p.A current from the adjustment terminal represents an error term, the LM150 was designed to minimize
IADJ and make it very constant with line and load changes.
To do this, all quiescent operating current is returned to the
output establishing a minimum load current requirement. If
there is insufficient load on the output, the output will rise.

TLIHIBOSl-8

FIGURE 2. Regulator with Line Resistance
In Output Lead
With the TO-3 package, it Is easy to minimize the resistance
from the case to the set resistor, by using two separate
leads to the case. The ground of R2 can be returned near
the ground of the load to provide remote ground sensing
and improve load regulation.

EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
An input bypass capacitor is recommended. A 0.1 p.F disc
or 1 p.F solid tantalum on the input is suitable input bypassing for almost all applications. The device Is more sensitive
to the absence of input bypassing when adjustment or output capacitors are used but the above values will eliminate
the possibility of problems.
The adjustment terminal can be bypassed to ground on the
LM150 to improve ripple rejection. This bypass capacitor
prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage Is
increased. With a 10 p.F bypass capacitor 86 dB ripple rejection is obtainable at any output level. Increases over
10 p.F do not appreciably improve the ripple rejection at
frequencies above 120 Hz. If the bypass capacitor is used, it
is sometimes necessary to Include protection diodes to prevent the capacitor from discharging through Internal low current paths and damaging the device.
In general, the best type of capacitors to use Is solid tantalum. Solid tantalum capacitors have low Impedance even at
high frequencies. Depending upon capacitor construction, It
takes about 25 p.F In aluminum electrolytic to equal 1 p.F
solid tantalum at high frequencies. Ceramic capacitors are
also good at high frequencies, but some types have a large
decrease in capacitance at frequencies around 0.5 MHz.
For this reason, 0.01 p.F disc may seem to work better than
a 0.1 p.F disc as a bypass.
Although the LM 150 is stable with no output capacitors, like
any feedback circuit, certain values of external capacitance
can cause excessive ringing. This occurs with values between 500 pF and 5000 pF. A 1 p.F solid tantalum (or 25 p.F
aluminum electrolytic) on the output swamps this effect and
insures stability.

PROTECTION DIODES
When external capacitors are used with any IC regulator It Is
sometimes necessary to add protection diodes to prevent
the capacitors from discharging through low current points
into the regulator. Most 10 p.F capacitors have low enough
internal series resistance to deliver 20A spikes when short·
ed. Although the surge is short, there Is enough energy to
damage parts of the IC.
When an output capacitor Is connected to a regulator and
the input Is shorted, the output capacitor will discharge Into
the output of the regulator. The discharge current depends
on the value of the capacitor, the output voltage of the regu·
lator, and the rate of decrease 01 VIN. In the LM160, this
discharge path Is through a large Junction that Is able to
sustain 25A surge with no problem. This Is not true 01 other
types of positive regulators. For output capacitors 01 25 p.F
or less, there Is no need to use diodes.
The bypass capacitor on the adjustment terminal can discharge through a low current Junction. Discharge occurs
when either the Input or output Is shorted. Internal to the
LM 150 is a 500 resistor which limits the peak discharge
current. No protection is needed for output voltages of 25V
or less and 10 p.F capacitance. Figure 3 shows an LM150
with protection diodes included for use with outputs greater
than 25V and high values of output capacitance.

Application Hints (Continued)
Although it may not be immediately obvious, best load regulation is obtained when the top of the divider is connected
directly to the output pin, not to the load. This is illustrated in
Figure 2. If R1 were connected to the load, the effective
resistance between the regulator and the load would be

TC = Temperature coefficient of output voltage.

iliA = Thermal resistance from junction to ambient. iliA is

approximately 0.5'C/W + II of heat sink.
For the same conditions as before, with TC = 0.003%I'C,
and iliA = 1.5'C/W, the change in output voltage will be
0.18%. Because these two thermal terms can have either
polarity, they may subtract from, or add to, electrical load
regulation. For worst-case analysis, they must be assumed
to add. If the output of the regulator is trimmed under load,
only that portion of the load that changes need be used in
the previous calculations, significantly improving output accuracy.

(Rw) x (R2 :1 R1)
Rw = Line Resistance
Connected as shown, Rw is not multiplied by the divider
ratio. Rw is about 0.004.0 per foot using 16 gauge wire. This
translates to 40 mV /ft at 10A load current, so it is important
to keep the positive lead between regulator and load as
short as possible.

Line Regulation
Electrical line regulation is very good on the LM196-typically less than 0.005% change in output voltage for a 1V
change in input. This level of regulation is achieved only for
very low load currents, however, because of thermal effects. .Even with a thermal regulation of O.002%.W, and a
temperature coefficient of 0.003%I'C, DC line regulation
will be dominated by thermal effects as shown by the following example:

DO NOT CONNECT
Rl TO LOAD

I"

+

Assume VOUT = 5V, VIN = 9V, lOUT = 8A
Following a 10% change in input voltage (0.9), the output
will change quickly (';; 100 /Ls), due to electrical effects, by
(0.005%V) X (0.9V) = 0.0045%. In the next 20 ms, the
output will change an additional (0.002%/W) X (8A) x
(0.9V) = 0.0144% due to thermal gradients across the die.
After a much longer time, determined by the time constant
of the heat sink, the output will change an additional
(0.003%I'C) X (8A) x (0.9V) X (2'C/W) = 0.043% due to
the temperature coefficient of output voltage and the thermal resistance from die to ambient. (2'C/W was chosen for
this calculation). The sign of these last two terms varies
from part to part, so no assumptions can be made about any
cancelling effects. All three terms must be added for a proper analYSis. This yields 0.0045 + 0.0144 + 0.043 =
0.062% using typical values for thermal regulation and temperature coefficient. For worst-case analysis, the maximum
data sheet specifications for thermal regulation and temperature coefficient should be used, along with the actua/thermal resistance of the heat sink being used.

FIGURE 2. Proper Divider Connection
The input resistance of the sense pin is typically 6 kn, modeled as a resistor between the sense pin and the output pin.
Load regulation will start to degrade if a resistance higher
than 10.0 is inserted in series with the sense. This assumes
a worst-case condition of 0.5V between output and sense
pins. Lower differential voltage will allow'higher sense series
resistance.
Thermal Load Regulation
Thermal, as well as electrical, load regulation must be considered with IC regulators. Electrical load regulation occurs
in microseconds, thermal regulation due to die thermal gradients occurs in the 0.2 ms-20 ms time frame, and regulation due to overall temperature changes in the die occurs
over a 20 ms to 20 minute period, depending on the time
constant of the heat sink used. Gradient induced load regu-'

Changes in output voltage due to overall temperature rise
are calculated from

Paralleling Regulators
Direct paralleling of regulators is not normally recOmmend. ed because they do not share currents equally. The regulator with the highest reference voltage will supply all the current to the load until it current limits. With an 18A load, for
instance, one regulator might be operating in current limit at
16A while the second device is only carrying 2A. Power dissipation in the high current regulator is extremely high with
attendant high junction temperatures. Long term reliability
cannot be guaranteed under these conditions.
Quasi-paralleling may be accomplished if load regulation is
not critical. The connection shown in Figure 5a will typically
share to within 1A, with a worst-case of about 3A. Load
regulation is degraded by 150 mV at 20A loads. An external
op amp may be used as in Figure 5b to improve load regulation and provide remote sensing.

Input and Output. Capacitors
The LM196 will tolerate a wide range of input and output
capacitance, but long wire runs or small values of output
capacitance can sometimes cause problems. If an output
capacitor is used, it should be 1 ,...F or larger. We suggest 10
,...F solid tantalum if significant improvements In high frequency outPl.lt impedance are needed (see output impedance graph). This capacitor should be as close to the regulator as possible, with short leads, to reduce the effects of
lead inductance. No input capacitor is needed if thEi regulator is within 6 inches of the power supply filter capacitor,
using 18 gauge stranded wire. For longer wire runs,' the
LM196 input should be bypassed locally with a 4.7 ,...F (or
larger) solid tantalum capacitor, or a 100 ,...F (or larger) aluminum electrolytic capacitor.

The diodes used in a full-wave rectified capaCitor input supply must have a DC current rating considerably higher than
the average current flowing through them. In a 10A supply,
for instance, the average current through each diode is only
5A, but the diodes should have a rating of 1OA-15A. There
are many reasons for this, both thermal and electrical. The
diodes conduct current in pulses about 3.5 ms wide with a
peak value of 5-8 times the average value, and an rms
value 1.5-2.0 times the average value. This results in long
term diode heating roughly equivalent to 10A DC current.
The most demanding condition however, may be the one
cycle surge through the diode during power turn on. The
peak value of the surge is about 10-20 times the DC output
current of the supply, or 100A-200A for a 10A supply. The
diodes must have a one cycle non-repetitive surge rating of
200A or more, and this is usually not found in a diode with
less than 10A average current rating. Keep in mind that
even though the LM196 may be used at current levels below 1OA, the diodes may still have to survive shorted output
conditions where average current could rise to 12A-15A.
Smaller transformers and filter capacitors used in lower current supplies will reduce surge currents, but unless specific
information is available on worst-case surges, it is best. not
to economize on diodes. Stud-mounted devices in a 00-4
package are recommended. Cathode-to-case types may be
bolted directly to the same heat sink as the LM196 because
the case of the regulator is its power input. Part numbers to
consider are the 1N1200 series rated at 12A average current in a 00-4 stud package. Additional types include common cathode duals in a TO-3 package, both standard and
Schottky, and various duals in plastiC filled assemblies.
Schottky diodes will improve efficiency, especially in low
voltage applications. In a 5V supply for instance, Schottky
diodes will decrease wasted power by up to 6W, or alternatively provide an additional 5% "drop,out" margin for lowline conditions. Several manufacturers are producing "high
efficiency" diodes with a forWard voltage drop nearly as
good as Schottkys at high current levels. These devices do
not have the low breakdown 'voltages of Schottkys, so are
much less prone to reverse breakdown induced failures.

Transformers and Diodes
Proper transformer ratings are very important in a high current supply because of the conflicting requirements of efficiency and tolerance to low-line conditions. A transformer
with a high secondary voltage will waste power and cause
unnecessary heating in the regulator. Too Iowa secondary
voltage will cause loss of regulation under low-line conditions. The following formulas may be used to, calculate the
required secondary voltage and cU,rrent ratings using a fullwave center tap:

Correcting for Output Wire Losses (LM196/LM396)
Three-terminal regulators can only provide partial Kelvin
load sensing (see Load Regulation). Full remote sensing.
can be added by using an external op amp to cancel the
effect of voltage drops in the unsensed positive output lead.
In Figure 7, the LM301A op amp forces the voltage loss
across the unsensed output lead to appear across'R3. The
current through R3 then flows out the V- pin of the op amp
through R4. The voltage drop across R4 will raise the output
voltage by an amount equal to the line loss, just cancelling
the line loss itself. A small ("" 40 mY) initial output voltage
error is created by the quiescent current of the op amp.
Cancellation range is limited by the maximum output current
of the op amp, about 300 mV as shown. This can be raised
by increasing R3 or R4 at the expense of more initial output
error.

Application Hints
In operation, the LM317L develops a nominal1.25V reference voltage, VREF, between the output and adjustment terminal. The reference voltage is impressed across program
resistor R1 and, since the voltage is constant, a constant
current 11 then flows through the output set resistor R2; giving an output voltage of
VOUT = VREF (1

+, R2)
+ IADJ(R2):
R1

Since the 100 poA current frpm the adjustment terminal represents an error term, the' LM317L was designed to minimize IADJ and make it very constant with line and load
changes. To do, this, all quiescent operating current is returned to the output establishing a minimum load current
requirement. If there is insufficient load on the output, the
output will rise.

FIGURE 1
External Capacitors
An input bypass capacitor is recommended in case the regulator Is more than 6 Inches away from the usual large filter
capacitor. A 0.1 poF disd or 1 poF solid tantalum on the input
Is suitable input bypassing for almost all applications. The
device is more sensitive to the absence of Input bypassing
when adjustment or output capacitors are used, but the
above values will eliminate the posslblity of problems.
The adjustment terminal can be bypassed to ground on the
LM317L to improve ripple rejection and noise. This bypass
capacitor prevents ripple and noise from being amplified as
the output voltage Is Increased. With a 10 poF bypass capacItor 80 dB ripple rejection' is obtainable at any output level.
Increases over 10 "F do not appreciably Improve the ripple
rejection at frequencies above 120 Hz. If the bypass capacitor is used, It Is sometimes necessary to Include protection
diodes to prevent the capacitor from discharging through
inlernallow current paths and damaging the device.

In general, the best type of capacitors to use is solid tantalurri. Solid tantalum capacitors have low impedance even at
high frequencies. Depending upon capacitor construction, it
takes about 25 poF in aluminum electrolytic to equal 1 poF
solid tantalum at high frequencies. C,eramic capacitors are
,",also good at high frequencies; but some types have a large
decrease in capacitance at frequencies around 0.5 MHz.
For this reason, a 0.01 poF disc may seem to work better
than a 0.1 poF disc as a bypass.
'
Although the LM317L is stable with no output capacitors,
like any feedback circuit, certain values of external capacitance can cause excessive ringing. This occurs with values
between 500 pF and 5000 pF. A 1 poF solid tantalum (or 25
poF aluminum electrolytic) on the output swamps this effect
and insures stability.
,Load Regulation
The LM317L is capable of providing extremely good load'
'regulation but a few precautions are needed to obtain maxirrium performance. The current set resistor connected between the adjustment terminal and the output terminal (usually 2400) should be tied directly to the output of the regula, tor rather than near the load. This eliminates line drops from
'appearing effectively in series with the reference and degrading regulation. For example, a 15V regulator with 0.050
resistance between the regulator, and load will have a load
regulation due to line resistance of 0.050 x 'L. If the set
resistor is connected near the load the effective line resist, anoe will be 0.050 (1 + R2/R1) or in this case, 11.5 times
worse.
Figure 2 shows the effect of resistance between the regulator and 2400 set resistor.
With the TO-92 package, it is easy to minimize the reSistance from the case to the set resistor, by using two separate leads to the output pin. The ground of R2 can be returned near the ground of the load to provide remote ground
sensing and improve load regulation.

vent the capacitors from discharging through low current
pOints into the regulator. Most 10 p.F capacitors have low
enough internal series resistance to deliver 20A spikes
when shorted. Although the surge is short, there is enough
energy to damage parts of the IC.

Thermal Regulation
When power is dissipated in an IC, a temperature gradient
occurs across the IC chip affecting the individual IC circuit
components. With an IC regulator, this gradient can be especially severe since power dissipation is large. Thermal
regulation is the effect of these temperature gradients on
output voltage (in percentage output change) per watt of
power change in a specified time. Thermal regulation error
is independent of electrical regulation or temperature coefficient, and occurs within 5 ms to 50 ms after a change in
power dissipation. Thermal regulation depends on IC layout
as well as electrical design. The thermal regulation of a voltage regulator is defined as the percentage change of VOUT,
per watt, within the first 10 ms after a step of power is applied. The LM317L specification is 0.2%/W, maximum.

When an output capacitor is connected to a regulator and
the input is shorted, the output capacitor will discharge into
the output of the regulator. The discharge current depends
on the value of the capacitor, the output voltage of the regulator, and the rate of decrease of VIN. In the LM317L, this
discharge path is through a large junction that is able to
sustain a 2A surge with no problem. This is not true of other
types of positive regulators. For output capacitors of 25 p.F
or less, the LM317L's ballast resistors and output structure
limit the peak current to a low enough level so that there is
no need to use a protection diode.
The bypass capacitor on the adjustment terminal can discharge through a low current junction. Discharge occurs
when either the input or output is shorted. Internal to the
LM317L is a 500 resistor which limits the peak discharge
current. No protection is needed for output voltages of 25V
or less and 10 p.F capacitance. Figure 3 shows an LM317L
with protection diodes included for use with outputs greater
than 25V and high values of output capacitance.

In the Thermal Regulation curve at the bottom of the Typical
Performance Characteristics page, a typical LM317L's output changes only 7 mV (or 0.07% of VOUT = -10V) when
a 1W pulse is applied for 10 ms. This performance is thus
well inside the specification limit of 0.2%/W X 1W = 0.2%
maximum. When the 1W pulse is ended, the thermal regulation again shows a 7 mV change as the gradients across the
LM317L chip die out. Note that the load regulation error of
about 14 mV (0.14%) is additional to the thermal regulation
error.
Protection Diodes
When external capacitors are used with any IC regulator it is
sometimes necessary to add protection diodes to pre-

LM320L 3-Terminal Negative Regulators
General Description

Features

The LM320L series of 3-terminal negative voltage regulators features fixed output voltages of -5V, -12V, and
-15V, with output current capabilities in excess of 100 mA.
These devices were 'designed using the latest computer
techniques for optimizing the packaged Ie thermal/electrical performance. The LM320L series, even when combined
with a minimum output compensation capacitor of 0.1 ",F,
exhibits an excellent transient response, a maximum line
regulation of 0.07% VolV, and a maximum load regulation
of 0.01 % Vo/mA.
The LM320L series also includes, as self-protection circuitry: safe operating area circuitry for output transistor power
dissipation limiting, a temperature independent short circuit
current limit for peak output current limiting, and a thermal
shutdown circuit to prevent excessive junction temperature.
Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators,
these devices may be combined with simple external circuitry for boosted and/or adjustable voltages and currents. The
LM320L series is available in the 3-lead TO-92 package.
For output voltages other than -5V, -12V and -15V, the
LM137 and LM137HV series provide .an output voltage
range from -1.2V to -47V.

• Preset output voltage error is less than ±5% over load,
line and temperature
.
• LM320L is specified at an output current of 100 mA
• Internal short-circuit, thermal and safe operating area
protection
• Easily adjustable to higher output voltages

LM330 3-Terminal Positive Regulator
General Description

Features

The LM330 5V 3-terminal positive voltage regulator features
an ability to source 150 mA of output current with an inputoutput differential of 0.6V or less. Familiar regulator features
such as current limit and thermal overload protection are
also provided.
The low dropout voltage makes the LM330 useful for certain
battery applications since this feature allows a longer battery discharge before the output falls out of regulation. For
example, a battery supplying the regulator input voltage may
discharge to 5.6V and still properly regulate the system and
load voltage. Supporting this feature, the LM330 protects
both itself and regulated systems from negative voltage inputs resulting from reverse installations of batteries.
Other protection features include line transient protection
up to 26V, when the output actually shuts down to avoid
damaging internal and external circuits. Also, the LM330
regulator cannot be harmed by a temporary mirror-image
insertion.

Typical Applications
The LM330 is designed specifically to operate at lower Input
to output voltages. The device is designed utilizing a power
lateral PNP transistor which reduces dropout voltage from
2.0V to 0',3V when compared to Ie regulators using NPN
pass transistors. Since the LM330 cim operate at a much
lower input voltage, the device power dissipation is reduced,
heat sinking can be simpler and' device reliability 1m·

proved through lower chip operating temperature. Also, a
cost savings can be utilized through use of lower power/
voltage components. In applications utilizing battery power,
the LM330 allows the battery voltage to drop to within 0.3V
of output voltage prior to the voltage regulator dropping out
of regulation.

Definition of Terms
Dropout Voltage: The input-output voltage differential at
which the circuit ceases to regulate against further reduction in input voltage. Measured when the output voltage has
dropped 100 mV from the nominal value obtained at 14V
input, dropout voltage is dependent upon load current and
junction temperature.
Input Voltage: The DC voltage applied to the input terminals with respect to ground.
Input-Output Differential: The voltage difference between
the unregulated input voltage and the regulated output voltage for which the regulator will operate.
Line Regulation: The change in output voltage for a
change in the input voltage. The measurement is made under conditions of low dissipation or by using pulse techniques such that the average chip temperature is not significantly affected.

c.:I
c.:I

Long Term Stability: Output voltage stability under accelerated life-test conditions after 1000 hours with maximum
rated voltage and junction temperature.
Output Noise Voltage: The rms AC voltage at the output,
with constant load and no input ripple, measured over a
specified frequency range.
Quiescent Current: That part of the positive input current
that does not contribute to the positive load current. The
regulator ground lead current.
Ripple Rejection: The ratio of the peak-to-peak input ripple
voltage to the peak-to-peak output ripple voltage.
Temperature Stability of Vo: The percentage change in
output voltage for a thermal variation from room temperature to either temperature extreme.

Load Regulation: The change in output voltage for a
change in load current at constant chip temperature.

LM337L 3-Terminal Adjustable Regulator
General Description
The LM337L is an adjustable 3-terminal negative voltage
regulator capable of supplying 100 mA over a 1.2V to 37V
output range. It is exceptionally easy to use and requires
only two external resistors to set the output voltage. Furthermore, -both line and load regulation are better than standard fixed regulators. Also, the LM337L is packaged in a
standard TO-92 transistor package which is easy to use.

The LM337L is available in a standard TO-92 transistor
package and a 56-8 surface mount package. The LM337L
is rated for operation over a - 25'C to 125'C range.
For applications requiring greater output current in excess
of 0.5A and 1.5A, see LM137 series data sheets. For the
positive complement, see series LM117 and LM317L data
sheets.
.
.

In addition to higher performance than fixed regulators, the
LM337L offers full overload protection. Included on the chip
are current limit, thermal overload protection and safe area
protection. All overload protection circuitry remains fully
functional even if the adjustment terminal is disconnected.
Normally, only a single 1 /-LF solid tantalum output capacitor
is needed unless the device is situated more than 6 inches
from the input filter capacitors, in which case an input bypass is needed. A larger output capacitor can be added to
improve transient response. The adjustment terminal can be
bypassed to achieve very high ripple rejection ratios which
are difficult to achieve with standard 3-terminal regulators.

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Besides replacing fixed regulators, the LM337L is useful in a
wide variety of other applications. Since the regulator is
"floating" and sees only the input-to-output differential voltage, supplies of several hundred volts can be regulated as
long as the maximum input-to-output differential is not exceeded.
Also, it makes an especially simple adjustable switching regulator, a programmable output regulator, or by connecting a
fixed resistor between the adjustment and output, the
LM337L can be used as a precision current regulator. Supplies with electronic shutdown can be achieved by clamping
the adjustment terminal to ground which programs the output to 1.2V where most loads draw little current.

LM2925 Low Dropout Regulator with Delayed Reset
General Description

Features

The LM2925 features a low dropout, high current regulator.
Also included on-chip is a reset function with an externally
set delay time. Upon power up, or after the detection of any
error in the regulated output, the reset pin remains in the
active low state for the duration of the delay. Types of errors
detected include any that cause the output to become
unregulated: low input voltage, thermal shutdown, short circuit, input transients, etc. No external pull-up resistor is necessary. The current charging the delay capaCitor is very low,
allowing long delay times.

Designed primarily for automotive applications, the LM2925
and all regulated circuitry are protected from reverse battery
installations or two-battery jumps. During line transients,
such as a load dump (60V) when the input voltage to the
regulator can momentarily exceed the specified maximum
operating voltage, the 0.75A regulator will automatically
shut down to protect both internal circuits and the load. The
LM2925 cannot be harmed by temporary mirror-image insertion. Familiar regulator features such as short circuit and
thermal overload protection are also provided.

5V, 750 mA output
Externally set delay for reset
Input-output differential less than 0.6V at 0.5A
Reverse battery protection
60V load dump protection
- 50V reverse transient protection
Short circuit protection

Definition of Terms

N

Dropout Voltage: The input-output voltage differential at
which the circuit ceases to regulate against further reduction in input voltage. Measured when the output voltage has
dropped 100 mV from the nominal value obtained at 14V
Input, dropout voltage is dependent upon load current and
junction temperature.
Input Voltage: The DC voltage applied to the input terminals with respect to ground.
Input-Output Differential: The voltage difference between
the unregulated input voltage and the regulated output voltage for which the regulator will operate.
Line Regulation: The change in output voltage for a
change in the input voltage. The measurement is made under conditions of low dissipation or by using pulse techniques such that the average chip temperature is not significantly affected.
Load Regulation: The change in output voltage for a
change in load current at constant chip temperature.

Long Term Stability: Output voltage stability under accelerated life-test conditions after 1000 hours with maximum
rated voltage and junction temperature.
Output Noise Voltage: The rms AC voltage at the output,
with constant load and no input ripple, measured over a
specified frequency range.
Quiescent Current: That part of the positive input current
that does not contribute to the positive load current. The
regulator ground lead current.
Ripple ReJection: The ratio of the peak-to-peak input ripple
voltage to the peak-to-peak output ripple voltage.
Temperature Stability of Vo: The percentage change in
output voltage for a thermal variation from room temperature to either temperature extreme.

LM2931 Series Low Dropout Regulators
General Description

Features

The LM2931 positive voltage regulator ·features a very low
quiescent current of 1 mA or less when supplying 10 mA
loads. This unique characteristic and the extremely low input-output differential required for proper regulation (0.2V
for output currents of 10 mAl make the LM2931 the ideal
regulator for standby power systems. Applications include
memory standby circuits, CMOS and other low power processor power supplies as well as systems demanding as
much as 100 mA of output current.
Designed Originally for automotive applications, the LM2931
and all regulated circuitry are protected from reverse battery
installations or 2 battery jumps. During line transients, such
as a load dump (60V) when the input voltage to the regulator can momentarily exceed the specified maximum operating voltage, the regulator will automatically shut down to
protect both internal circuits and the load. The LM2931 cannot be harmed by temporary mirror-image insertion. Familiar
regulator features such as short circuit and thermal overload
protection are also provided.
Fixed output of 5V Is available in the plastic TO-220 power
package or the popular TO-92 package. An adjustable output version, with on/off switch, is available i~ a 5-lead TO220 package.

Application Hints
One of the distinguishing factors of the LM2931 series regulators is the requirement of an output capacitor for device
stability. The value required varies greatly depending upon
the application circuit and other factors. Thus some comments on the characteristics of both capacitors and the regulator are in order.
High frequency characteristics of electrolytic capacitors depend greatly on the type and even the manufacturer. As a
result, a value of capacitance that works well with the
LM2931 for one brand or type may not necessary be sufficient with an electrolytic of different origin. Sometimes actual bench testing, as described later, will be the only means
to determine the proper capacitor and value. Experience
has shown that, as a rule of thumb, the more expensive and
higher quality electrolytics generally allow a smaller value
for regulator stability. As an example, while a high-quality
100 /LF aluminum electrolytic covers all general application
circuits, similar stability can be obtained with a tantalum
electrolytic of only 47 /LF. This factor of two can generally
be applied to any special application circuit also.

At this pOint, the procedure for bench testing the minimum
value of an output capacitor in a special application circuit
should be clear. Since worst-case occurs at minimum operating temperatures and maximum operating currents, the
entire circuit, including the electrolytic, should be cooled to
the minimum temperature. The input voltage to the regulator
should be maintained at O.SV above the output to keep internal power dissipation and die heating to a minimum.
Worst-case occurs just after input power is applied and before the die has had a chance to heat up. Once the minimum value of capaCitance has been found for the brand
and type of electrolytic in question, the value should be doubled for actual use to account for production variations both
in the capacitor and the regulator. (All the values in this
section and the remainder of the data sheet were determined in this fashion.)

Definition of Terms
Dropout Voltage: The input-output voltage differential at
which the circuit ceases to regulate against further reduction in input Voltage. Measured when the output voltage has
dropped 100 mV from the nominal value obtained at 14V
input, dropout voltage is dependent upon load current and
junction temperature.
Input Voltage: The DC voltage applied to the input terminals with respect to ground.
Input-Output Differential: The voltage difference between
the unregulated input voltage and the regulated output voltage for which the regulator will operate.

Another critical characteristic of electrolytics is their performance over temperature. While the LM2931 is designed
to operate to -40'C, the same is not always true with all
electrolytics (hot is generally not a problem). The electrolyte
in many aluminum types will freeze around -30'C, reducing
their effective value to zero. Since the capacitance is needed for regulator stability, the natural result is oscillation (and
lots of it) at the regulator output. For all application circuits
where cold operation is necessary, the output capacitor
must be rated to operate at the minimum temperature. By
coincidence, worst-case stability for the LM2931 also occurs at minimum temperatures. As a result, in applications
where the regulator junction temperature will never be less
than 25'C, the output capacitor can be reduced approximately by a factor of two over the value needed for the
entire temperature range. To continue our example with the
tantalum electrolytic, a value of only 22 /LF would probably
thus suffice. For high-quality aluminum, 47 J-LF would be adequate in such an application.
Another regulator characteristic that is noteworthy is that
stability decreases with higher output currents. This sensible
fact has important connotations. In many applications, the
LM2931 is operated at only a few milliamps of output current or less. In such a circuit, the output capacitor can be
further reduced in value. As a rough estimation, a circuit that
is required to deliver a maximum of 10 mA of output current
from the regulator would need an output capacitor of only
half the value compared to the same regulator required to
deliver the full output current of 100 mA. If the example of
the tantalum capaCitor in the circuit rated at 25'C junction
temperature and above were continued to include a maximum of 10 mA of output current, then the 22 J-LF output
capacitor could be reduced to only 10 /LF.
In the case of the LM2931 CT adjustable regulator, the minimum value of output capacitance is a function of the output
voltage. As a general rule, the value decreases with higher
output voltages, since internal loop gain is reduced.

Line Regulation: The change in output voltage for a
change in the input voltage. The measurement is made under conditions of low dissipation or by using pulse techniques such that the average chip temperature is not significantly affected.
Load Regulation: The change in output voltage for a
change in load current at constant chip temperature.
Long Term Stability: Output voltage stability under accelerated life-test conditions after 1000 hours with maximum
rated voltage and junction temperature.
Output Noise Voltage: The rms AC voltage at the output,
with constant load and no input ripple, measured over a
specified frequency range.
Quiescent Current: That part of the positive input current
that does not contribute to the positive load current. The
regulator ground lead current.
Ripple Rejection: The ratio of the peak-to-peak input ripple
voltage to the peak-to-peak output ripple Voltage.
Temperature Stability of Vo: The percentage change in
output voltage for a thermal variation from room temperature to either temperature extreme.

LM2935 Low Dropout Dual Regulator
General Description

Features

The LM2935 dual 5V regulator provides a 750 mA output as
well as a 10 mA standby output. It features a low quiescent
current of 3 mA or less when supplying 10 mA loads from
the 5V standby regulator output. This unique characteristic
and the extremely low input-output differential required for
proper regulation (0.55V for output currents of 10 mAl make
the LM2935 the ideal regulator for power systems that include standby memory. Applications include microprocessor
power supplies demanding as much as 750 mA of output
current.

Designed for automotive applications, the LM2935 and all
regulated circuitry are protected from reverse battery installations or 2 battery jumps. During line transients, such as a
load dump (60V) when the input voltage to the regulator can
momentarily exceed the specified maximum operating voltage, the 0.75A regulator will automatically shut down to protect both internal circuits and the load while the standby
regulator will continue to power any standby load. The
LM2935 cannot be harmed by temporary mirror-image insertion. Familiar regulator features such as short circuit and
thermal overload protection are also provided.

EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
The LM2935 output capacitors are required for stability.
Without them, the regulator outputs will oscillate, sometimes
by many volts. Though the 10,..F shown are the minimum
recommended values, actual size and type may vary depending upon the application load and temperature range.
Capacitor effective series resistance (ESR) also factors in
the IC stability. Since ESR varies from one brand to the
next, some bench work may be required to determine the
minimum capaCitor value to use in production. Worst-case is
usually determined at the minimum ambient temperature
and maximum load expected.
Output capacitors can be increased in size to any desired
value above the minimum. One possible purpose of this
would be to maintain the output voltage during brief conditions of negative input transients that might be characteristic of a particular system.
Capacitors must also be rated at all ambient temperatures
expected in the system. Many aluminum type electrolytics
will freeze at temperatures less than -30·C, reducing their
effective capaCitance to zero. To maintain regulator stability
down to -40·C, capaCitors rated at that temperature (such
as tantalums) must be used.

Definition of Terms
Dropout Voltage: The input-output voltage differential at
which the circuit ceases to regulate against further reduction in input voltage. Measured when the output voltage has
dropped 100 mV from the nominal value obtained at 14V
input, dropout voltage is dependent upon load current and
junction temperature.

No capaCitor must be attached to the ON/OFF and ERROR
FLAG pin. Due to the internal circuits of the IC, oscillation on
this pin could result.
STANDBY OUTPUT
The LM2935 differs from most fixed voltage regulators in
that it is equipped with two regulator outputs instead of one.
The additional output is intended for use in systems requiring standby memory circuits. While the high current regulator output can be controlled with the ON/OFF pin described
below, the standby output remains on under all conditions
as long as sufficient input voltage is applied to the IC. Thus,
memory and other circuits powered by this output remain
unaffected by positive line transients, thermal shutdown,
etc.
The standby regulator circuit is deSigned so that the quiescent current to the IC is very low «3 mAl when the other
regulator output is off.

Input Voltage: The DC voltage applied to the input terminals with respect to ground.
Input-Output Differential: The voltage difference between
the unregulated input voltage and the regulated output voltage for which the regulator will operate.
Line Regulation: The change in output voltage for a
change in the input voltage. The measurement is made under conditions of low dissipation or by using pulse techniques such that the average chip temperature is not significantly affected.

Application Hints (Continued)

:E

In applications where the standby output is not needed, it
may be disabled by connecting a resistor from the standby
output to the supply voltage. This eliminates the need for a
more expensive capacitor on the output to prevent unwanted oscillations. The value of the resistor depends upon the
minimum input voltage expected for a given system. Since
the standby output is shunted with an internal 5.7V zener
(Figure 3), the current through the external resistor should
be sufficient to bias R2 and R3 up to this point. Approximately 60 /LA will suffice, resulting in a 10k external resistor
fOr most applications (Figure 4).

N

....I

ON/OFF AND ERROR FLAG PIN
This pin has the ability to serve a dual purpose if
desired. When controlled in the manner shown in Figure 1
(common in automotive systems where 81 is the ignition
switch), the pin also serves as an output flag that is active
low whenever a fault condition is detected with the high
current regulated output. In other words, under normal
operating conditions, the output voltage of this pin is high
(5V). This is set by an internal clamp. If the high current
output becomes unregulated for any reason (line transients,
short circuit, thermal shutdown, low input voltage, etc.) the
pin switches to the active low state, and is capable of sinking several milliamps. This output signal can be used to initiate any reset or start-up procedure that may be required of
the system.

Ra
10k

The ON/OFF pin can also be driven directly from open collector logic circuits. The only requirement is that the 20k
pull-up resistor remain in place (Figure 5). This will not affect
the logic gate since the voltage on this pin is limited by the
internal clamp in the LM2935 to 5V.

HIGH CURRENT OUTPUT
Unlike the standby regulated output, which must remain on
whenever pOSSible, the high current regulated output is fau It
protected against overvoltage and also incorporates thermal shutdown. If the input voltage rises above approximately 30V (e.g., load dump), this output will automatically shutdown. This protects the internal circuitry and enables the IC
to survive higher voltage transients than would otherwise be
expected. Thermal shutdown is effective against die overheating since the high current output is the dominant source
of power dissipation in the IC.

LM2936 Ultra-Low Quiescent Current 5V Regulator
General Description

Features

The LM2936 ultra-low quiescent current regulator features
low dropout voltage and low current in the standby mode.
With less than 15 )J-A quiescent current at a 100 )J-A load,
the LM2936 is ideally suited for automotive and other battery operated systems. The LM2936 retains all of the features that are common to low dropout regulators including a
low dropout PNP pass device, short circuit protection, reverse battery protection, and thermal shutdown. The
LM2936 has a 40V operating voltage limit, -40'C to
+ 125'C operating temperature range, and ± 2% output
voltage tolerance over the entire output current, input voltage, and temperature range. The LM2936 is available in a
TO-92 package with a fixed 5V output.

• Ultra low quiescent current (IQ ,;; 15 )J-A for
10 ,;; 100 )J-A)
• Fixed 5V, 50 mA output
• Output tolerance ± 2% over line, load, and temperature
• Dropout voltage typically 200 mV @ 10 = 50 mA
• Reverse battery protection
• - 50V reverse transient protection
• Internal short circuit current limit
• Internal thermal shutdown protection
• 40V operating voltage limit

Typical Application
• Required if regulator is located more than 2" from power supply filter

capacitor.
U
Required for stability. Must be rated for 10 JLF minimum over intended
operating temperature range. Effective series resistance (ESR) is critical,
see curve. Locate capaCitor as close as possible to the regulator output and
ground pins. Capacitance may be increased without bound.

Applications Information
Unlike other PNP low dropout regulators, the LM2936 remains fully operational to 40V. Owing to power dissipation
characteristics of the TO-92 package, full output current
cannot be guaranteed for all combinations of ambient temperature and input voltage. As an example, consider an
LM2936 operating at 25'C ambient. Using the formula for
maximum allowable power dissipation given in Note 3, we
find that PO max = 641 mW at 25'C. Including the small
contribution of the quiescent current to total power dissipation the maximum input voltage (while still delivering 50 mA
output current) is 17.3V. The device will go into thermal
shutdown if it attempts to deliver full output current with an
input voltage of more than 17.3V. Similarly, at 40V input and
25'C ambient the LM2936 can deliver 18 mA maximum.

Under conditions of higher ambient temperatures, the voltage and current calculated in the previous examples will
drop. For instance, at the maximum ambient of 125'C the
LM2936 can only dissipate 128 mW, limiting the input voltage to 7.34V for a 50 mA load, or 3.5 mA output current for
a40Vinput.
While the LM2936 maintains regulation to 60V, it will not
withstand a short circuit above 40V because of safe operating area limitations in the internal PNP pass device. Above
60V the LM2936 will break down with catastrophic effects
on the regulator and possibly the load as well. Do not use
this device in a design where the input operating voltage
may excee::! 40V, or where transients are likely to exceed
60V.

LM2940 1A Low Dropout Regulator
General Description

Features

The LM2940 positive voltage regulator features the ability to
source 1A of output current with a dropout voltage of typically 0.5V and a maximum of 1V over the entire temperature
range. Futhermore, a quiescent current reduction Circuit has
been included which reduces the ground current when the
differential between the input voltage and the output voltage
exceeds approximately 3V. The quiescent current with 1A of
output current and an input-output differential of 5V is therefore only 30 mA. Higher quiescent currents only exist when
the regulator is in the dropout mode (Vin - You! ,,; 3V).

•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Designed also for vehicular applications, the LM2940 and
all regulated circuitry are protected from reverse battery installations or 2 battery jumps. During line transients, such as
load dump (60V) when the input voltage can momentarily
exceed the specified maximum operating voltage, the regulator will automatically shut down to protect both the internal
circuits and the load. The LM2940 cannot be harmed by
temporary mirror-image insertion. Familiar regulator features
such as short circuit and thermal overload protection are
also provided.

Definition of Terms
Dropout Voltage: The input-output voltage differential at
which the circuit ceases to regulate against further reduction in input voltage. Measured when the output voltage has
dropped 100 mV from the nominal value obtained at (Vo +
5V) input, dropout voltage is dependent upon load current
and junction temperature.
Input Voltage: The DC voltage applied to the input terminals with respect to ground.

Load Regulation: The change in output voltage for a
change in load current at constant chip temperature.
Long Term Stability: Output voltage stability under accelerated life-test conditions after 1000 hours with maximum
rated voltage and junction temperature.
Output Noise Voltage: The rms AC voltage at the output,
with constant load and no input ripple, measured over a
specified frequency range.

Input-Output Differential: The voltage difference between
the unregulated input voltage and the regulated output voltage for which the regulator will operate.

Quiescent Current: That part of the positive input current
that does not contribute to the positive load current. The
regulator ground lead current.

Line Regulation: The change in output voltage for a
change in the input voltage. The measurement Is made under conditions of low dissipation or by using pulse techniques such that the average chip temperature is not significantly affected.

Ripple ReJection: The ratio of the peak-to-peak input ripple
voltage to the peak-to-peak output ripple voltage.

CD
~

Temperature Stability of Vo: The percentange change in
output voltage for a thermal variation from room temperature to either temperature extreme.

LM2940C 1A Low Dropout Regulator
General Description
The LM2940C positive voltage regulator features the ability
to source 1A of output current with an input-output differential of typically 0.5V and a maximum of 1V over the entire
temperature range. Familiar regulator features such as internal current limit and thermal overload protection are also
provided. Furthermore, a quiescent current reduction circuit
has been added which reduces the ground current when the
differential between the input voltage and the output voltage
exceeds approximately 3V. The quiescent current with 1A of
output current and an input-output differential of 5V is therefore only 30 mAo Higher quiescent currents only exist when
the regulator is in the dropout mode (VIN - VOUT " 3V).
The low dropout voltage coupled with the high output current capability make the LM2940C useful in applications
where the input voltage is maintained at a level within one or
two volts of the output voltage to reduce power dissipation
and increase overall system efficiency.
The LM2940C is particularly suited for applications where
battery life and reverse installation of batteries is a concern.

For automotive temperature range (- 40'C to
plications, refer to the LM2940 datasheet.

LM2941 1A Low Dropout Adjustable Regulator
General Description
The LM2941 positive voltage regulator features the ability to
source 1A of output current with a typical dropout voltage of
0.5V and a maximum of 1V over the entire temperature
range. Furthermore, a quiescent current reduction circuit
has been included which reduces the ground pin current
when the differential between the input voltage and the output voltage exceeds approximately 3V. The quiescent current with 1A of output current and an input-output differential of 5V is therefore only 30 mAo Higher quiescent currents
only exist when the regulator is in the dropout mode (Y,N VOUT"; 3V).
Designed also for vehicular applications, the LM2941 and
all regulated circuitry are protected from reverse battery installations or two-battery jumps. During line transients, such
as load dump (60V) when the input voltage can momentarily
exceed the specified maximum operating voltage, the regu-

lator will automatically shut down to protect both the internal
circuits and the load. Familiar regulator features such as
short circuit and thermal overload protection are also provided.

Note 1: The maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), 6JA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is
Po = (TJ(max) - TAl/6JA. If this dissipation is exceeded, the die temperature will rise above t50"0 and the LM2941 will go into thermal shutdown. For the
LM2941 , the junction·to-ambient thermal resistance Is 53"C/W, and the iunclion·to-case thermal resistance is 3'C/W.
Note 2: Tested Umits are guaranteed and 100% production tested.
Note 3: Design Limits are guaranteed (but not 100% production tested) over the operating temperature and supply voltage range. These limits are not used to
calculate outgoing quality levels.
Note 4: The output voltage range is 5V to 20V and is determined by the two external resistors, Rl and R2. See Typical Application Circuit.
Note 5: Output current will decrease with increasing temperature, but will not go below 1A at the maximum specified temperatures.

Definition of Terms
Dropout Voltage: The input-voltage differential at which
the circuit ceases to regulate against further reduction in
input voltage. Measured when the output voltage has
dropped 100 mV from the nominal value obtained at (VOUT
+ 5V) input, dropout voltage is dependent upon load current and junction temperature.
Input Voltage: The DC voltage applied to the input terminals with respect to ground.
Input-Output Differential: The voltage difference between
the unregulated input voltage and the regulated output voltage for which the regulator will operate.
Line Regulation: The change in output voltage for a
change in the input voltage. The measurement is made under conditions of low dissipation or by using pulse techniques such that the average chip temperature is not significantly affected.

Load Regulation: The change in output voltage for a
change in load current at constant chip temperature.
Long Term Stability: Output voltage stability under accelerated life-test conditions after 1000 hours with maximum
rated voltage and junction temperature.
Output Noise Voltage: The rms AC voltage at the output,
with constant load and no input ripple, measured over a
specified frequency range.
Quiescent Current: That part of the positive input current
that does not contribute to the positive load current. The
regulator ground lead current.
Ripple Rejection: The ratio of the peak-to-peak input ripple
voltage to the peak-to-peak output ripple voltage.
Temperature Stability of Vo: The percentage change in
output voltage for a thermal variation from room temperature to either temperature extreme.

LM2941 C 1A Low Dropout Adjustable Regulator
General Description
The LM2941 C positive voltage regulator features the ability
to source 1A of output current with a typical dropout voltage
of 0.5V and a maximum of 1V over the entire temperature
range. Furthermore, a quiescent current reduction circuit
has been included which reduces the ground pin current
when the differential between the input voltage and the output voltage exceeds approximately 3V. The quiescent current with 1A of output current and an input-output differential of 5V is therefore only 30 mAo Higher quiescent currents
only exist when the regulator is in the dropout mode
(VIN - VOUT :;;: 3V).
Low dropout voltage, coupled with 1A current capability,
makes the LM2941 C useful in applications where the input
voltage is maintained at a level within one or two volts of the
output voltage. Operation at these low input-output voltage
differentials reduces regulator power dissipation and increases overall system efficiency.

The LM2941 C can be used to provide on-board regulation
and post-switcher regulation. Other applications include
'
fault protected 1A switches.

Note 1: The maximum power dissipation Is a function of TJ(max)' 8JAand TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any amblent temperature is Po =
(TJ(max) - T..J/8JA· If this dissipation Is exceeded, the die temparature will rise above 150'C and the LM2941C will go Into thermal shutdown. For the LM2941C,
the junction-to-amblent thermal resistance Is 53'C/W, and the Junctlon-to-case thermal resistance is 3'C/W.
Note 2: Tested Limits are guaranteed and 100% production tesled.
Note 3: Design limits are guaranteed (but not 100% production lested) over the operating temperature and supply voltage range. These IIm~s are not used to
calculate outgoing quality levels.
Note 4: The output voltage range is 5V to 20V and is determined by the two extemal resi~tors, R1 and R2. See Typical Application Circuit.
Note 5: Output current will decrease with Increasing temperature, but will not go bel~ 1A at the maximum specified temperatures.

LM2984C Microprocessor Power Supply System
General Description
The LM2984C positive voltage regulator features three independent and tracking outputs capable of delivering the
power for logic Circuits, peripheral sensors and standby
memory in a typical microprocessor system. The LM2984C
includes circuitry which monitors both its own high-current
output and also an extemal ",P. If any error conditions are
sensed in either, a reset error flag is set and maintained until
the malfunction terminates. Since these functions are included in the same package with the three regulators, a
great saving in board space can be realized in the typical
microprocessor system. The LM2984C also features very
low dropout voltages on each of its three regulator outputs
(O.SV at the rated output current). Furthermore, the quiescent current can be reduced to 1 mA in the standby mode.
DeSigned also for vehicular applications, the LM2984C and
all regulated cirCUitry are protected from reverse battery installations or 2-battery jumps. Familiar regulator features
such as short circuit and thermal overload protection are

also provided. Fixed outputs of 5V are available in the plastic TO-220 power package.

Note 1: Thermal resistance without a heatsink for junction-to-case temperatura is 3"C/W. Thermal resistance case-to-ambient is 4O'C/W.
Nole 2: Tested Um"s are guaranteed and 100% production tested.
Nole 3: Design Limits are guaranteed (but not 100% production tested) over the indicated temperature and supply voltage range. These IimHs are not used to
calculate outgoing qualHy levels.
Note 4: An intemal comparator detects when the main regulator output (VOUT) drops below 4.0V or rises above 5.5V. If either condition exists at the output, the
Reset Error Flag Is held low until the error condition has terminated. The Reset Error Flag is then allowed to go high again after a delay set by Rt and Ct. (See
Applications Section.)
Note 5: This parameter is a measure of how short a pulse can be detected at the poP Monitor Input. This parameter is primarily influenced by the value of Crnen.
(See Typical Performance Characteristics and Applications Section.)
Note 6: To ensure constant junction temperature, low duty cycle pulse testing is used.

Application Hints
OUTPUT CAPACITORS
The LM2984C output capacitors are required for stability.
Without them, the regulator outputs will oscillate, sometimes
by many volts. Though the 10 /LF shown are the minimum
recommended values, actual size and type may vary depending upon the application load and temperature range.
Capacitor effective series resistance (ESR) also affects the
IC stability. Since ESR varies from one brand to the next,
some bench work may be required to determine the minimum capacitor value to use in production. Worst case is
usually determined at the minimum ambient temperature
and the maximum load expected.
Output capacitors can be increased in size to any desired
value above the minimum. One possible purpose of this
would be to maintain the output voltages during brief conditions of negative input transients that might be characteristic of a particular system.
Capacitors must also be rated at all ambient temperatures
expected in the system. Many aluminum type electrolytics
will freeze at temperatures less than -30'C, reducing their
effective capacitance to zero. To maintain regulator stability
down to -40"C, capaCitors rated at that temperature (such
as tantalums) must be used.
Each output must be terminated by a capaCitor, even if it is
not used.

, outputs are controlled with the ON/OFF pin described later,
the standby output remains on under all conditions as long
as sufficient input voltage is supplied to the IC. Thus, memory and other circuits powered by this output remain unaffected by positive line transients, thermal shutdown, etc.
The standby regulator circuit is designed so that the quiescent current to the IC is very low « 1.5 rnA) when the other
regulator outputs are off.
The capacitor on the output of this regulator can be increased without bound. This will help maintain the output
voltage during negative input transients and will also help to
reduce the noise on all three outputs. Because the other
two track the standby output: therefore any noise reduction
here will also reduce the other two noise voltages.
BUFFER OUTPUT
The buffer output is designed to drive peripheral sensor circuitry in a /LP system. It will track the standby and main
regulator within a few millivolts in normal operation. Therefore, a peripheral sensor can be powered off this supply and
have the same operating voltage as the /LP system. This is
important if a ratiometric sensor system is being used.
The buffer output can be short circuited while the other two
outputs are in normal operation. This protects the /LP system from disruption of power when a sensor wire, etc. is
temporarily shorted to ground, i.e. only the sensor signal
would be interrupted, while the p.P and memory circuits
would remain operational.
The buffer output is similar to the main output in that it is
controlled by the ON/OFF switch in order to save power in

STANDBY OUTPUT
The standby output is intended for use In systems requiring
standby memory circuits. While the high current regulator

1-268

Application Hints (Continued)
the standby mode. It is also fault protected against overvoltage and thermal overload. If the input voltage rises above
approximately 30V (e.g. load dump), this output will automatically shut down. This protects the internal circuitry and
enables the IC to survive higher voltage transients than
would otherwise be expected. Thermal shutdown is necessary since this output is one of the dominant sources of
power dissipation in the IC.
MAIN OUTPUT
The main output is designed to power relatively large loads,
i.e. approximately 500 rnA. It is therefore also protected
against overvoltage and thermal overload.
This output will track the other two within a few millivolts in
normal operation. It can therefore be used as a reference
voltage for any signal derived from circuitry powered off the
standby or buffer outputs.-This is important in a ratiometric
sensor system or any system requiring accurate matching of
power supply voltages.
ON/OFF SWITCH
The ON/OFF switch controls the main output and the buffer
output. The threshold voltage is compatible with most logic
families and has about 20 mV of hysteresis to insure 'clean'
switching from the standby mode to the active mode and
vice versa. This pin can be tied to the input voltage through
a 10 kO resistor if the regulator Is to be powered continuously.
POWER DOWN OVERRIDE
Another possible approach is to use a diode in series with
the ON/OFF signal and another in series with the main output in order to maintain power for some period of time after
the ON/OFF signal has been removed (see Figure 1). When
the ON/OFF switch is initially pulled high through diode 01,
thi:l main output will turn on and supply power through diode
02 to the ON/OFF switch effectively latching the main output. An open collector transistor 01 is connected to the
ON/OFF pin along with the two diodes and forces the regulators off after a period of time determined by the J.l.P. In this
way, the J.l.P can override a power down command and store
data, do housekeeping, etc. before reverting back to the
standby mode.

ON/OFF ~y.RV\1,....,~~~-MI-"III\r-.....
CONTROL 10 k4

DELAYED RESET
Resistor Rt and capaCitor Ct set the period of time that the
RESET output is held low after a main output error condition
has been sensed. The delay is given by the formula:
Tdly = 1.2 RtCt (seconds)
The delayed RESET will be initiated any time the main output is outside the 4V to 5.5V window, i.e. during power-up,
short circuit, overvoltage, low line, thermal shutdown or
power-down. The J.l.P is therefore RESET whenever the output voltage is out of regulation. (It is important to note that a
RESET is only initiated when the main output is in error. The
buffer and standby outputs are not directly monitored for
error conditions.)
J.l.P MONITOR RESET
There are two distinct and independent error monitoring
systems in the LM2984C. The one described above monitors the main regulator output and initiates a delayed RESET whenever this output is in error. The other error monitoring system is the J.l.P watchdog. These two systems are
OR'd together internally and both force the RESET output
low when either type of error occurs.
This watchdog circuitry continuously monitors a pin on the
J.l.P that generates a positive going pulse during normal operation. The period of this pulse is typically on the order of
milliseconds and the pulse width is typically on the order of
10's of microseconds. If this pulse ever disappears, the
watchdog circuitry will time out and a RESET low will be
sent to the J.l.P. The time out period is determined by two
external components, Rt and Cmon, according to the formula:
Twindow = 0.82 RtCmon (seconds)
The width of the RESET pulse is set by Cmon and an internal resistor according to the following:
RESETpw = 2000 Cmon (seconds)
A square wave signal can also be monitored for errors by
filtering the Cmon input such that only the positive edges of
the signal are detected. Figuf8 2 is a schematic diagram of a
typical circuit used to differentiate the Input Signal. Resistor
Rtc and capaCitor, Ctc pass only the rising edge of the
square wave and create a short positive pulse suitable for
the J.l.P monitor input. If the incoming Signal continues in a
high state or In a low state for too long a period of time, a
RESET low will be generated.

RESET OUTPUT
This output is an open collector NPN transistor which is
forced low whenever an error condition is present at the
main output or when a J.l.P error is sensed (see J.l.P Monitor
section). If the main output voltage drops below 4V or rises
above 5.5V, the RESET output is forced low and held low
for a period of time set by two external components, Rt and
Ct. There is a slight amount of hysteresis in these two
threshold voltages so that the RESET output has a fast rise
and fall time compatible with the requirements of most J.l.P
RESET inputs.

FIGURE 2. Monitoring Square Wave J.l.P Signals
The threshold voltage and input characteristics of this pin

There is a limit on the width of a pulse that can be reliably
detected by the watchdog circuit. This is due to the output
resistance of the' transistor which discharges Cmon when a
high state is detected at the input. The minimum detectable
pulse width can be determined by the following formula:
PWmin = 20 Cmon (seconds)

LM78XX Series Voltage Regulators
General Description
of external components. It is not necessary to bypass the
output, although this does improve transient response. Input
bypassing is needed only if the regulator is located far from
the filter capacitor of the power supply.

The LM78XX series of three terminal regulators is available
with several fixed output voltages making them useful in a
wide range of applications. One of these is local on card
regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated
with single point regulation. The voltages available allow
these regulators to be used in logic systems, instrumentation, HiFi, and other solid state electronic equipment. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators these
devices can be used with external components to obtain
adjustable voltages and currents.

For output voltage other than SV, 12V and 1SV the LM117
series provides an output voltage range from 1.2V to S7V.

The LM78XX series is available in an aluminum TO-3 package which will allow over 1.0A load current if adequate heat
. sinking is provided. Current limiting is included to limit the
peak output current to a safe value. Safe area protection for
the output transistor is provided to limit internal power dissipation. If internal power dissipation becomes too high for
the heat sinking provided, the thermal shutdown circuit
takes over preventing the IC from overheating.
Considerable effort was expanded to make the LM78XX series of regulators easy to use and mininize the number

Design Considerations
The LM7800 fixed voltage regulator series has thermal
overload protection from excessive power dissipation, internal short circuit protection which limits the regulator's maximum current, and output transistor safe-area compensation
for reducing the output current as the voltage across the
pass transistor is increased.
Although the internal power dissipation is limited, the junction temperature must be kept below the maximum specified temperature (150·C for LM7800, 125·C for LM7800C) in
order to meet data sheet specifications. To calculate the
maximum junction temperature or heat sink required, the
following thermal resistance values should be used:

4·Terminal Adjustable Voltage Regulators
General Description

Features

The LM7BG and LM79G are 4-terminal adjustable voltage
regulators. They are designed to deliver continuous load
currents of up to 1.0A with a maximum input voltage of
+40V for the positive regulator LM7BG and -40V for the
negative regulator LM79G. Output current capability can be
increased to greater than 1.0A through use of one or more
external transistors. The output voltage range of the LM7BG
positive voltage regulator is + 5V to + 30V and the output
voltage range of the negative LM79G is -30V to -2.55V.
For systems requiring both a positive and negative, the
LM7BG and LM79G are excellent for use as a dual tracking
regulator with appropriate external circuitry.

LIMIT 78G/79G -The nominal reference in the LM7BG is 5.0V and LM79G is
-2.55V. If we allow 1.0 mA to flow in the control string to
eliminate bias current effects, we can make R2 = 5.0 kO in
the LM7BG. Then, the output voltage is; Vo = (R1 + R2)V,
where R1 and R2 are in kOso
Example: If R2 = 5.0 kO and R1 = 10 kO then
Vo = 15V nominal, for the LM7BG
R2 = 2.55 kO and R1 = 12.B kO then
Vo = -15.35 nominal, for the LM79G

the device can be improved significantly.
Both LM7BG and LM79G regulators have thermal overload
protection from excessive power, internal short circuit protection which limits each circuit's maximum current, and out-

Applications Hints
Bypass capacitors are recommended for stable operation of
the LM79G series of regulators over the input voltage and
output current ranges. Output bypass capacitors will improve the transient response of the regulator.

The bypass capacitors (2 ""F on the input, 1 ""F on the output), should be ceramic or solid tantalum which have good
high frequency characteristics. If aluminum electrolytics are
used, their values should be 10 ""F or larger. The bypass
capacitors should be mounted with the shortest leads, and if
possible, directly across the regulator terminals.

LM78LXX Series 3-Terminal Positive Regulators
General Description
The LM78LXX series of three terminal positive regulators is
available with several fixed output voltages making them
useful in a wide range of applications. When used as a zener diode/resistor combination replacement, the LM78LXX
usually results in an effective output impedance improvement of two orders of magnitude, and lower quiescent current. These regulators can provide local on card regulation,
eliminating the distribution problems associated' with single
point regulation. The voltages available allow the LM78LXX
to be used in logic systems, instrumentation, HiFi, and other
solid state electronic eqUipment. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators these devices can be used
with external components to obtain adjustment voltages
and currents.
The LM78LXX is available in the metal three lead TO-39(H)
the plastic TO-92 (Z), and SO-8 plastic. With adequate heat
sinking the regulator can deliver 100 rnA output current.
Current limiting is included to limit the peak output current to
a safe value. Safe area protection for the output transistors
is provided to limit internal power dissipation. If internal power dissipation becomes too high for the heat sinking provided, the thermal shutdown circuit takes over.' preventing the
IC from overheating.

For output voltage other than 5V, 12V and 15V the LM117L
series provides an output voltage range from 1.2V to 37V.

Features
• Output voltage tolerances of ± 5% (LM78LXXAC) over
the temperature range

LM78LOO Series
3-Terminal Positive Voltage Regulators
General Description

Features

The LM7BLOO series of 3-terminal positive voltage regulators employ internal current-limiting and thermal shutdown,
making them essentially indestructible. If adequate heat
sinking is provided, they can deliver up to 100 mA output
current. They are intended as fixed voltage regulators in a
wide range of applications including local (on-card) regulation for elimination of noise and distribution problems associated with Single-point regulation. In addition, they can be
used with power pass elements to make high current voltage regulators. The LM7BLOO, used as a Zener diode/resistor combination replacement, offers an effective output impedance improvement of typically two orders of magnitude,
along with lower quiescent current and lower noise.

Design Considerations

The LM~BL series regulators have thermal overload protection from excessive power, internal short-circuit protection
which limits each circuit's maximum current, and output
transistor safe-area protection for reducing the output current as the voltage across each pass transistor is increased.

o

1PE (WATIS)

Although the internal power dissipation is limited, the junction temperature must be kept below the maximum specified temperature (125·C) in order to meet data sheet specifications. To calculate the maximum junction temperature or
heat sink required, the following thermal resistance values
should be used:

FIGURE 1. TO-92 Thermal Equivalent Circuit

Methods of Heat Sinking
With two external thermal resistances in each leg of a parallel network available to the circuit designer as variables, he
can choose the method of heat sinking most applicable to
his particular situation. To demonstrate, consider the effect
of placing a small 72 ·C/W flag type heat sink, such as the
Staver F1-7D-2, on the LM7BLOO molded case. The heat
sink effectively replaces the IICA (Figure 2) and the new
thermal resistance, II' JA, equals 145 ·C/W (assuming, 0.125
inch lead length).

Thermal Considerations
The TO-92 molded package is capable of unusually high
power dissipation due to the lead frame design. However, its
thermal capabilities are generally overlooked because of a
lack of understanding of the thermal paths from the semiconductor junction to ambient temperature. While thermal
resistance is normally specified for the device mounted
1 cm above an infinite heat sink, very little has been mentioned of the options available to improve on the conservatively rated thermal capability.

The net change of 15 ·C/W increases the 1l1l0wable power
dissipation to O.BSW with a minimal inserted cost. A still
further decrease in II JA could be achieved by using a heat
sink rated at4S·C/W, such as the Staver FS-7A. Also, if the
case sinking does not provide an adequate reduction in total
II JA, the other external thermal resistance, II LA, may be reduced by shortening the lead length from package base to
mounting medium. However, one point must be kept in
mind. The lead thermal path includes a thermal resistance,
liSA, from the leads at the mounting point to ambient, that is,
the mounting medium. liLA is then equal to ilLS + liSA. The
new model is shown in Figure 2.
In the case of a socket, liSA could be as high as 270 ·C/W,
thus causing a net increase in IIJA and a consequent decrease in the maximum dissipation capability. Shortening
the lead length may return the net IIJA to the original value,
but lead sinking would not be accomplished.
In those cases where the regulator is inserted into a copper
clad printed circuit board, it is advantageous to have a maximum area of copper at the entry points of the leads. While it
would be desirable to rigorously define the effect of PC
board copper, the real world variables are too great to allow
anything more than a few general observations.

An explanation of the thermal paths of the TO-92 will allow
the designer to determine the thermal stress he is applying
in any given application.

The TO-92 Package
The TO-92 package thermal paths are complex. In addition
to the path through the molding compound to ambient temperature, there is another path through the leads, in parallel
with the case path, to ambient temperature, as shown in
Figure 1.
The total thermal resistanqe in this model is then:
IIJA = (IIJC + IICA) (IIJL + liLA>
IIJC + IICA + IIJL + liLA

(1)

Where:
IIJC =

thermal resistance of the case between the regulator die and a point on the case directly above
the die location.

IICA = thermal resistance between the case and air at
ambient temperature.

The best analogy for PC board copper is to compare it with
parallel resistors. Beyond some point, additional resistors
are not significantly effective; beyond some pOint, additional

LM78MG/LM79MG
4-Terminal Adjustable Voltage Regulators
General Description

Features

The LM7BMG and LM79MG are 4-terminal adjustable voltage regulators. They are designed to deliver continuous
load currents of up to 500 mA with a maximum input voltage
of +40V for the positive regulator LM7BMG and -40V for
the negative regulator LM79MG. Output current capability
can be increased to greater than 1OA through use of one or
more external transistors. The output voltage range of the
LM7BMG positive voltage regulator is 5.0V to 30V and the
output voltage range of the negative LM79MG is -30V to
-2.2V. For systems requiring both a positive and negative,
the LM7BMG and LM79MG are excellent for use as a dual
tracking regulator.

The LM78MG and LM79MG variable voltage regulators
have an output voltage which varies from VCONT to typically

Bypass capacitors are recommended for stable operation of
the LM78MG over the input voltage and output current
ranges. Output bypass capacitors will improve the transient

The nominal reference in the LM78MG is 5.0V and
LM79MG is -2.23V. If we allow 1.0 mA to flow in the control swing to eliminate bias current effects, we can make R2
= 5 k!l. in the LM78MG. The output voltage is then: Vo =
(R1 + R2) Volts, where R1 and R2 are in k!l.s.
Example: If R2

The bypass capacitors, (0.33 fLF on the input, 0.1 fLF on the
output) should be ceramic or solid tantalum which have
good high frequency characteristics. The bypass capacitors
should be mounted with the shortest leads, and if pOSSible,
directly across the regulator terminals.

Typical Applications for LM79MG(Note 1)
Bypass capacitors are recommended for stable operation of
the LM79MG over the Input voltage and output current
ranges. Output bypass capacitors will improve the transient
response of the regulator.
The bypass capacitors, (2.0 ""F on the Input, I.Q ""F on the
output) should be ceramic or solid tantalum which have
good high frequency characteristics. If aluminum electrolytIcs are used, their values should be,10 ""F'or larger. The
bypass capacitors should be mounted with the shortest
leads, and If possible, ,directly across the regulator terminals.

Design Considerations
The LM78MXX fixed voltage regulator series has thermaloverload protection from excessive power, internal short circuit protection which limits the circuit's maximum current,
and output transistor safe-area compensation for reducing
the output short circuit current as the voltage across the
pass transistor Is increased.
Although the Intemal power dissipation is limited, the junelion temperature must be kept below the maximum specified temperature ( + 125'C for LM78MXXC) in order to meet
data sheet specifications. To calculate the maximum junction temperature or heat sink required, the following thermal
resistance values should tie used:

LM79XX Series 3-Terminal Negative Regulators
General Description
The LM79XX series of 3-terminal regulators is available with
fixed output voltages of - 5V, -12V, and -15V. These devices need only one external component-a compensation
capacitor at the output. The LM79XX series is packaged in
the TO-220 power package and is capable of supplying
1.5A of output current.
These regulators employ internal current limiting safe area
protection and thermal shutdown for protection against virtually all overload conditions.
Low ground pin current of the LM79XX series allows output
voltage to be easily boosted above the preset value with a
resistor divider. The low quiescent current drain of

these devices with a specified maximum change with line
and load ensures good regulation in the voltage boosted
mode.
For applications requiring other voltages, see LM137 data
sheet.

Design Considerations
The LM7900 fixed voltage regulator series has thermal
overload protection from excessive power dissipation, internal short circuit. protection which limits the circuit's maximum current, and output transistor safe-area compensation
for reducing the output current as the voltage across the
pass transistor is increased.
Although the internal power dissipation is limited, the junction temperature must be kept below the maximum specified temperature (150·C for LM7900, 1;!5·C for LM7900C) in
order to meet data sheet specifications. To calculate the
maximum junction temperature or heat sink required, the
following thermal resistance values should be used:.

Typical Applications

Vl .....--..-'IM_

Bypass capacitors are necessary for stable operation of the
LM7900 series of regulators. over the input voltage and output current ranges. Output bypass capacitors will improve
the transient response by the regulator.

~~~---------------.-vo

LIot7900

The bypass capacitors, (2.0 /LF on the input, 1.0 /LF on the
output) should be ceramic or solid tantalum wliich have
good high frequency characteristics. If aluminum electrolytics are used, their values should be 10 /LF or larger. The
bypass capacitors should be mounted with the shortest
leads, and if possible, directly across the regulator terminals.

LM79LXXAC Series 3-Terminal Negative Regulators
General Description
The LM79LXXAC series of 3-terminal negative voltage regulators features fixed output voltages of - 5V, - 12V, and
-15V with output current capabilities in excess of 100 mA.
These devices were designed using the latest computer
techniques for optimizing the packaged IC thermal/electrical performance. The LM79LXXAC series, even when combined with a minimum output compensation capacitor of 0.1
,...F, exhibits an excellent transient response, a maximum
line regulation of 0.07% VolV, and a maximum load regulation of 0.01 % Vo/mA.
The LM79LXXAC series also includes, as self-protection circuitry: safe operating area circuitry for output transistor power dissipation limiting, a temperature independent short circuit current limit for peak output current limiting, and a thermal shutdown circuit to prevent excessive junction temperature. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices may be combined with simple external
circuitry for boosted and/or adjustable voltages and currents. The LM79LXXAC series is available in the 3-lead TO92 package, and SO-8; 8 lead package.

Typical Applications

For output voltage other than -5V, -12V and -15V the
LM137L series provides an output voltage range from 1.2V
to 47V.

Features
• Preset output voltage error is less than ± 5% overload,
line and temperature
• Specified at an output current of 100 mA
• Easily compensated with a small 0.1 ,...F output
capacitor
• Internal short-circuit, thermal and safe operating area
protection
• Easily adjustable to higher output voltages
• Maximum line regulation less than 0.07% VourlV
• Maximum load regulation less than 0.01 % VourmA
• TO-92 package

LM79MXX Series
3-Terminal Negative Regulators
General Description
The LM79MXX series of 3-terminal regulators is available
with fixed output voltages of -5V, -12V, and -15V. These
devices need only one external component-a compensation capacitor at the output. The LM79MXX series is packaged in the TO-202 power package and TO-39 metal can
and is capable of supplying O.5A of output current.
These regulators employ internal current limiting, safe area
protection, and thermal shotdown for protection against virtually all overload conditions.
Low ground pin current of the LM79MXX series allows output voltage to be easily boosted above the preset value with
a resistor divider. The low quiescent current of these devices with a specified maximum change with line and load ensures good regulation in the voltage boosted mode.

For output voltage other than -5V, -12V, and -15V the
LM137 series provides an output voltage range from 1.2V to
57V.

General Description

o

The LP2950 and LP2951 are micropower voltage regulators
with very low quiescent current (75 p.A typ.) and very low
dropout voltage (typ. 40 mV at light loads and 3BO mV at
100 mAl. They are ideally suited for use in battery-powered
systems. Furthermore, the quiescent current of the
LP2950/LP2951 increases only slightly in dropout, prolonging battery life.

tolerance (.5% typ.), extremely good load and line regulation (.05% typ.) and a very low output voltage temperature
coefficient, making the part useful as a low-power voltage
reference.

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

One such feature is an error flag output which warns of a
low output voltage, often due to falling batteries on the input. It may be used for a power-on reset. A second feature
is the logic-compatible shutdown input which enables the
regulator to be switched on and off. Also, the part may be
pin-strapped for a 5V output or programmed from 1.24V to
29V with an external pair of resistors.

Application Hints
the error amplifier at lower gains so that more output capacitance is needed. For the worst-case situation of a 100 mA
load at ,1.23V output (Output shorted to Feedback) a 3.3 p.f
(or greater) capacitor should be used.
Unlike many other regulators, the L2950 will remain stable
and in regulation with no load in addition to the internal voltage divider. This is especially important in CMOS RAM
keep-alive applications. When setting the output voltage of
the LP2951 version with external resistors, a minimum load
of 1 p.A is recommended.
'
A 0.1 p.f capacitor should be placed from the
LP2950/LP2951 input to ground if there is more than 10
inches of wire between the input and the AC filter capaCitor
or if a battery is used as the input.

EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
A 1.0 p.f (or greater) capacitor is required between the
LP2950/LP2951 output and ground for stability. Without this
capacitor the part will oscillate. Most types of tantalum or
aluminum electrolytics work fine here; even film types work
but are not recommended for reasons of cost. Many aluminum electrolytlcs have electrolytes that freeze at about
-300C, so solid tantalums are recom'mended for operation
below - 25°C. The important parameters of the capacitor
are an ESR of about 5 n or less and a resonant frequency
above 500 kHz. The value of this capacitor may be increased without limit.
At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is
required for stability. The capacitor can be reduced to 0.33
p.f for currents below 10 mA or 0.1 p.f for currents below
1 mAo USing the a-Pin versions at voltages below 5V runs

Stray capacitance to the LP2951 Feedback terminal (pin 7)
can cause instability. This may especially be a problem
1-350

Application Hints (Continued)
when using high value external resistors to set the output
voltage. Adding a 100 pf capacitor between Output and
Feedback and increasing the output capacitor to at least 3.3
/Lf will fix this problem.

The complete equation for the output voltage is
VOUT = VREF· (1

+ :~) + IFBR1

where VREF is the nominal 1.235 reference voltage and IFB
is the feedback pin bias current, nominally -20 nA. The
minimum recommended load current of 1 /LA forces an upper limit of 1.2 MO on the value of R2, if the regulator must
work with no load (a condition often found in CMOS in
standby). IFB will produce a 2% typical error in Your which
may be eliminated at room temperature by trimming R1. For
better accuracy, choosing R2 = lOOk reduces this error to
0.17% while increasing the resistor program current to 12
/LA. Since the LP2951 typically draws 60 /LA at no load with
Pin 2 open-circuited, this is a small price to pay.

ERROR DETECTION COMPARATOR OUTPUT
The comparator produces a logic low output whenever the
LP2951 output falls out of regulation by more than approximately 5%. This figure is the comparator's built-in offset of
about 60 mV divided by the 1.235 reference voltage. (Refer
to the block diagram in the front of the datasheet.) This trip
level remains "5% below normal" regardless of the programmed output voltage of the 2951. For example, the error
flag trip level is typically 4.75V for a 5V output or II.4V for a
12V output. The out of regulation condition may be due either to low input voltage, current limiting, or thermal limiting.

REDUCING OUTPUT NOISE

Figure 1 below gives a timing diagram depicting the ERROR

In reference applications it may be advantageous to reduce
the AC noise present at the output. One method is to reduce
the regulator bandwidth by increasing the size of the output
capacitor. This is the only way noise can be reduced on the
3 lead LP2950 but is relatively ineffiCient, as increasing the
capacitor from 1 /LF to 220 /LF only decreases the noise
from 430 /LV to 160 /LV rms for a 100 kHz bandwidth at 5V
output.

signal and the regulated output voltage as the LP2951 input
is ramped up and down. The ERROR signal becomes valid
(low) at about 1.3V input. It goes high at about 5V input (the
input voltage at which VOUT = 4.75). Since the LP2951's
dropout voltage is load-dependent (see curve in typical performance characteristics), the input voltage trip point (about
5V) will vary with the load current. The output voltage trip
point (approx. 4.75V) does not vary with load.

Noise can be reduced fourfold by a bypass capacitor accross R1, since it reduces the high frequency gain from 4 to
unity. Pick

The error comparator has an open-collector output which
requires an external pull up resistor. This resistor may be
returned to the 5V output or some other supply voltage depending on system requirements. In determining a value for
this resistor, note that while the output is rated to sink 400
/LA, this sink current adds to battery drain in a low battery
condition. Suggested values range from lOOk to 1 MO. The
resistor is not required if this output is unused.

1
CBYPASS eo 21TR1 .200 Hz
or about O.ot /LF. When doing this, the output capacitor
must be increased to 3.3 /LF to maintain stability. These
changes reduce the output noise from 430 /LV to 100 /LV
rms for a 100 kHz bandwidth at 5V output. With the bypass
capacitor added, noise no longer scales with output voltage
so that improvements are more dramatic at higher output
voltages.

PROGRAMMING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE (LP2951)
The LP2951 may be pin-strapped for 5V using its internal
voltage divider by tying Pin 1 (output) to Pin 2 (sense) and
Pin 7 (feedback) to Pin 6 (5V Tap). Alternatively, it may be
programmed for any output voltage between its 1.235V reference and its 30V maximum rating. As seen in Figure 2, an
external pair of resistors is required.

TRANSFORMER COUPLED CONVERTERS
In addition to the implementation of a buck converter, the
HS 710717067 can be used in various transformer coupled
configurations. They can be used in various topologies such
as: step-up, step-down, inverter, multiple outputs and isolated converters.

There are basically two different methods in implementing
transformer coupled converters: the flyback and the foward

Efficiency Equations
Since high efficiency is the principal advantage of switchedmode power conversion, switching regulator losses are an
important design concern. Losses and efficiency of a buck
converter can be calculated with the following equations.

The Flyback Principle
Figure 1 shows a functional diagram of a flyback converter.
Depending on the turn ratio N2/N1 and the feedback voltage, it can be implemented as a step-down or step-up converter.

Nate: Pin 7 is grounded; 10 = average output current at pin 8

SWitching Period (T)

T=-=tON+tOFF
fo

When the switch is on, the current (Ip) flows through the
primary winding creating a magnetic flux In the core and
storing the energy. At this time, the voltage at the secondary
keeps the same polarity (with respect to the dotted terminals), the diode is off and no current flows through it. When
the switch is off, the voltage at the secondary and primary
becomes reversed and the diode turns-on (Id)' The stored
energy is then transferred to the load and the output filter
capaCitor. The energy stored in the capaCitor will supply the
load current during the next turn-on.

FIGURE 2. Typical Flyback Waveforms

The load current is not supplied directly by the input source
when the switch is on, but only by the energy stored in the
output capacitor. The output voltage is monitored by the
feedback loop which controls the duty cycle (D) through the
PWM (Pulse Width Modulator) which in turn, modulates the
amount of energy being transferred from the input to the
output. Figure 2 shows the waveforms of a continuous
mode flyback converter (primary current Ip is DC biased).

The Forward Principle
The forward converter is a little more complex and requires
more components than the flyback, but the output ripple
voltage is smaller. Agure 3 shows a simplified diagram of II
forward converter.
When the switch turns·on, a voltage Vs = V, X N2/N,
appears at the secondary of the transformer. The diode 02

FIGURE 3. Typical Forward Functional Diagram

~------------------------------------------------I%

functional principle of the demagnetizing winding is similar
to the flyback in the sense that, during the turn-off time, the
residual magnetism will generate a reverse voltage at the
demagnetizing winding (with respect to the dotted terminals)
turning on the diode 03.
In the forward mode, when the switch is off, the load current
is supplied by the energy stored in the output capaCitor and
the choke inductor but when the switch is on, it is supplied
by the input source through the transformer. This accounts
for the lower output ripple voltage.
The output voltage is monitored by the feedback loop,
which controls the duty cycle through the PWM, which in
turn modulates the amount of energy being transferred from
the input to the output.

Typical Applications (Continued)
is off while 01 turns-on, allowing the current to flow through
the inductor L (ld1 and Ill, storing energy in its core, and
supplying the load current (lout> and the capacitor current
(Iel at the same time. When the switch turns-off, the magnetic energy stored in the core of the inductor creates a
current (ld2) which flows through the diode 02. The load
current lout therefore, equals to Id2 + Ic.
During the "off" time of the switch, some residual magnetism will stay in the core of the transformer and has to be
removed before the next cycle, so that it does not accumulate, leading to core saturation.
A demagnetizing winding is used to "dump" the residual
energy back to the input or output of the converter. The

Typical Applications (Continued)
With both flyback and forward topologies, it is possible to
design an inverting converter by using an external op-amp
(Figure 5).

Isolated Flyback Converter
Figure 7 shows an isolated flyback converter using a sense
winding for feedback. Although, in practice the line, regulation is acceptable, the,load regulation can be marginal if the
coupling between the windings is poor. However, the sense
winding cannot detect any ohmic voltage drop in the main
output so, a heavier gauge wire should be used to reduce
this regulation error. Also, the sense winding will not 'sense
the non-linear voltage drop across the diode, and this accounts for most of the 'load regulation inaccuracy.'Therefore, the sense winding method is only recommended for
applications where load variations are small.

::J:

Figure 7 shows an isolated flyback converter with an output
of 5V at 2A. The input voltage range is from + 10V to
+40V. The output can be adjusted to +5V by using the

Isolated Forward Converter
As described previously, forward converters exhibit lower
output ripple voltage and the opto-coupler feedback
scheme provides good regulation as well as input to output
isolation.
An opto-coupler feedback is usually difficult to implement
because the transfer function of the opto-coupler is non-linear, the current transfer ratio changes with time and temperture and also from one unit to another. Figure 8 shows the

Typical Applications (Continued)
An LM 385z (adjustable reference) is used as a comparator
and error amplifier. This reference always wants to maintain
1.2V between pins 1 and 2 and will draw as much current as
necessary from the opto-coupler to achieve this. Therefore,
the feedback loop is virtually independent of the gain of the
opto-coupler.

Application Hints
The sense resistor should be a low inductance type, otherwise the series inductance creates a high impedance at
transients and activates the shutdown circuitry. If such a
resistor cannot be found, a 0.1 /LF connected in parallel with
it will compensate the series inductance.
When such a circuitry is used, the duty cycle limiting diode
becomes optional, but the soft start capacitor should still be
at least 10 /LF.

DUTY CYCLE LIMITING
In a flyback converter, the error amplifier sees OV at the
output of the converter during the initial turn-on, and forces
the duty cycle to 100% until it sees the output voltage rising
to the final value; but no voltage will appear if the switch
does not turn off (see flyback principle). The result is that
the core will saturate, reducing the effective impedance of
the transformer to about 00, and destroying the pass transistor. To prevent this, the duty cycle must be limited to a
value at which the core does not saturate. A diode connected between pins 1 and 2 (Figure 10), will limit the duty cycle
to about 80%.

T

DECOUPLING AND GROUNDING
Special attention should be given to the decoupling of the
HS 710717067 itself at the input (pin 5), where the capaCitor
must be at least 100 /LF and connected as close to the
device as possible. Large switching spikes at the input of
the pass transistor can cause breakdown of the junction
and destroy the device. (See Figure 12.)
ihe waveform at the top of the picture represents the voltage across the switch of a typical BUCK (step down) converter. When the switch is turned off, the current in the inductor falls to zero (see waveform at the bottom) and a
switching spike occurs across the switch. This spike can
reach several tens of volts on top of the normally expected
voltage across the switch and lead to stress on the device if
the overall voltage exceeds the maximum rating.

T
TUK/6746-15

FIGURE 10. Duty Cycle Limiting Circuit
SOFT START
For any converter, connecting a large capacitor (20 to
200 /LF) between pin 2 and the case is recommended to
allow the reference voltage to slowly reach its final value
after start-up. This allows the HS 706717107 to start-up
smoothly and minimizes the inrush current. The time constant can be calculated by:
T = 103 X C

The picture below shows a spike of about ten volts with a
330 /LF capacitor of average quality.

VOLTAGE ACROSS
PIN 5&.PIN 8

-It is always a good practice to incorporate soft start and duty
cycle limiting when designing a switching power converter,
especially when a current limit circuitry is not utilized.
CURRENT LIMIT
CURRENT
THROUGH
SWITCH

The schematic in Figure 11 shows how to protect the pass
transistor against excessive current, by sensing the current
through a series resistor, and shorting the PWM control voltage at pin 1 to ground, using transistor 2N5772 (this is made
possible by the 5 MO output impedance of the error amplifier), which will cause the pass transistor to turn off.

VERTICAL SCALE: 20 VOLTS IDiV
HORIZONTAL SCALE: 2,.SIDIV
TLlK/6746-17

FIGURE 12
The reference voltage (pin 2) must be decoupled with at
least 10 /LF and the compensation network (pin 1) should
be decoupled with a ceramic capacitor of 1 nF to 10 nF.
Switching noise on the reference voltage pin (pin 2) or on
the compensation pin (pin 1) can create different types of
oscillations and instabilities.
Because of the high current and high voltage capability of
the HS 710717067 a single point grounding or, at least a
grounding where the force ground is separated from the
circuit ground, is highly recommended.

15V

The basic oscillator (switching) frequency is controlled by an
external resistor (RT) and capacitor (Or). The relationship
between the values of RT. CT and frequency is shown in

Figure 10.
EACH
OUTPUT
TRANSISTOR

The level of the sawtooth wave form is compared with an
error voltage by the pulse width modulated comparator. The
output of the PWM Comparator directs the pulse steering
flip-flop and the output control logic.
The error voltage is generated by the error amplifier. The
error amplifier boosts the voltage difference between the
output and the 5.OV internal reference. See Figure 7 for
error amp sensing techniques. The second error amp is typically used to implement current-limiting.

TUHl1oo56-5

9~ -ir---"Ii

The output control logic selects either push-pull or singleended operation of the output transistors (see Figure 6).
The dead time control prevents on-state overlap of the output transistors as can be seen in Figure 5. The dead time is
approximately 3.0% or 5.0% of the total period if the dead
time control is grounded. This dead time can be increased
by connecting the dead time control to a voltage up to 5.OV.

The switching frequency of two or more LM494 circuits can

LM 1524D/LM2524D/LM3524D
Regulating Pulse Width Modulator
General Description

The LM1524D family is an improved version of the industry
standard LM1524. It has improved specifications and additional features yet is pin for pin compatible with existing
1524 families. New features reduce the need for additional
external circuitry often required in the original version.
The LM1524D has a ± 1% precision 5V reference. The current carrying capability of the output drive transistors has
been raised to 200 mA while reducing VCEsat and increasing
VCE breakdown to 60V. The common mode voltage range
of the error-amp has been raised to 5.5V to eliminate the
need for a resistive divider from the 5V reference.
In the LM1524D the circuit bias line has been isolated from
the shut-down pin. This prevents the oscillator pulse amplitude and frequency from being disturbed by shut-down. Also
at high frequencies ("" 300 kHz) the max. duty cycle per
output has been improved to 44% compared to 35% max.
duty cycle in other 1524s.
In addition, the LM1524D can now be synchronized externally, through pin 3. Also a latch has been added to insure

one pulse per period even in noisy environments. The
LM1524D includes double pulse suppression logic that insures when a shut-down condition is removed the state of
the T-flip-flop will change only after the first clock pulse has
arrived. This feature prevents the same output from being
pulsed twice in a row, thus reducing the possibility of core
saturation in push-pull designs.

Features
• Fully interchangeable with standard LM1524 family
• ± 1% precision 5V reference with thermal shut-down
• Output current to 200 mA DC
• 60V output capability
• Wide common mode input range for error-amp
• One pulse per period (noise suppression)
• Improved max. duty cycle at high frequencies
• Double pulse suppression
• Synchronize through pin 3

Functional Description
INTERNAL VOLTAGE REGULATOR

If two or more LM1524D'smust be synchronized together,
the easiest method is to interconnect all pin 3 terminals, tie
all pin 7's (together) to a single CT, and leave all pin 6's
open except one which is connected to a single RT. This
method works well unless the LM1524D's are more than 6"
apart.

The LM1524D has an on-chip 5V, 50 rnA, short circuit protected voltage regulator. This voltage regulator provides a
supply for all internal circuitry of the device and can be used
as an external reference.
For input voltages of less than BV the 5V output should be
shorted to pin 15, VIN, which disables the 5V regulator. With
these pins shorted the input voltage must be limited to a
maximum of 6V. If input voltages of 6V -BV are to be used, a
pre-regulator, as shown in Figure 1, must be added.

A second synchronization method is appropriate for any circuit layout. One LM1524D, deSignated as master, must
have its RTCT set for the correct period. The other slave
LM1524D(s) should each have an RTCT set for a 10% longer period. All pin 3's must then be interconnected to allow
the master to properly reset the slave units.

15

5.5V

The oscillator may be synchronized to an external clock

OSCILLATOR
The LM1524D provides a stable on-board oscillator. Its frequency is set by an external resistor, RT and capacitor, Or.
A graph of RT, Or vs oscillator frequency is shown is Figure
2. The oscillator's output provides the signals for triggering
an internal flip-flop, which directs the PWM information to
the outputs, and a blanking ·pulse to turn off both outputs
during transitions to ensure that cross conduction does not
occur. The width of the blanking pulse, or dead time, is controlled by the value of Or, as shown in Figure 3. The recommended values of RT are 1.B kCl to 100 kCl, and for CT,
0.001 I£F to 0.1 I£F.

OUTPUT STAGES
The outputs of the LM1524D are NPN transistors, capable
of a maximum current of 200 mAo These transistors are driven 180" out of phase and have non-committed open collectors and emitters as shown in Figure 6.

CURRENT LIMITING
The function of the current limit amplifier is to override· the
error amplifier's output and take control of the pulse width.
The output duty cycle drops to about 25% when a current
limit sense voltage of 200 mV is applied between the + CL
and -CL sense terminals. Increasing the sense voltage approximately 5% results in a 0% output duty cycle. Care
should be taken to ensure the - 0.7V to + 1.0V input common-mode range is not exceeded.

FIGURES
The amplifier's inputs have a common-mode input range of

ERROR AMPLIFIER
The error amplifier is a differential input, transconductance
amplifier. Its gain, nominally 86 dB, is set by either feedback
or output loading. This output loading can be done with either purely resistive or a combination of resistive and reactive components. A graph of the amplifier's gain vs output
load resistance is shown in Figure 4.

10M
TLlH/S650-7

FIGURE 4
The output of the amplifier, or input to the pulse width modulator, can be overridden easily as its output impedance is
very high (ZO "" 5 MO). For this reason a DC voltage can
be applied to pin 9 which will override the error amplifier and
force a particular duty cycle to the outputs. An example of
this could be a non-regulating motor speed control where a
variable voltage was applied to pin 9 to control motor speed.
A graph of the output duty cycle vs the voltage on pin 9 is
shown in Figure 5. .

FIGURE 11. Boosted Current Polarity Inverter

The circuit works as follows: 01 is used as a switch, which
has ON and OFF times controlled by the pulse width modulator. When 01 is ON, power is drawn from VIN and supplied
to the load through L1; VA Is at approximately VIN, 01 is
reverse biased, and Co is charging. When 01 turns OFF the
inductor L1 will force VA negative to keep the current flowing in It, 01 will start conducting and the load current will
flow through 01 and L1. The voltage at VA is smoothed by
the LI, Co filter giving a clean OC output The current flowing through L1 is equal to the nominal OC load current plus
some AIIL which is due to the changing voltage across it. A
good rule of thumb Is to set AILp.p '" 40% x I~ .

where VNI is the voltage at the error amplifier's non-inverting input.

A complete step-down switching regulator schematic, using
the LM3524D, is illustrated in Figure 15. Transistors 01 and
02 have been added to boost the output to 1A. The 5V
regulator of the LM3524D has been divided in half to bias
the error amplifier's non-inverting input to within its common-mode range. Since each output transistor is on for half
the period, actually 45%, they have been paralleled to allow
longer possible duty cycle, up to 90%. This makes a lower
possible input voltage. The output voltage is set by:

THE STEP-UP SWITCHING REGULATOR

N

Figure 18 shows the basic circuit for a step-up switching
regulator. In this circuit 01 is used as a switch to alternately
apply VIN across inductor L 1. During the time, tON, 01 is ON
and energy is drawn from VIN and stored in L 1; 01 is reverse biased and 10 is supplied from the charge stored in Co.
When 01 opens, IoFF, voltage V1 will rise positively to the
point where 01 turns ON. The output current is now supplied through L1, 01 to the load and any charge lost from Co
during ioN is replenished. Here also, as in the step-down
regulator, the current through L 1 has a OC component plus
some all. all is again selected to be approximately 40% of
Il. Figure 19 shows the inductor's current in relation to 01's
ON and OFF times.

Note 2: Tested limits are guaranteed and tOO% tested In production.
Note 3: Design limits are guaranteed (but not 100% production tested) over the indicated temperature and supply ranges.
Note 4: Tested at Fesc = 40 kHz (Rt = 3.6k, Ct = 0.01 "F, Rd = 0).
Note 5: These specifICations are also guaranteed with Rt = "50k, Ct = 0.2 "F, Rd = O.
Note 6: Tested with a pulse of width 500 n. and ampl~udes of '.2 and 2.8V at 50 kHz.
Note 7: Absolute Maximum Ratings Indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. DC and AC electrical specHications do not apply when operating
the device beyond its rated operating conditions. See Note 1 and conditions.
Note 8: Do not ground pin 6.
Note 9: For' operation at elevated temperatures, devices in the J package must be derated based on thermal resistance of 90'C/W Ounction to ambient), or
8S'C/W in the N package.

Holding pin 10 high for a long time will ultimately discharge
the soft-start capacitor, thus recycling slow turn on upon
release. This method of shutdown is the fastest shutdown
possible.

SHUTDOWN OPTIONS (See Block.Diagram)
1. Since both the compensation and soft-start terminals
(pins 9 and 8) have current source pull-ups, either can
readily accept ,a pull-down signal which only has to sink a
maximum of 100 /LA to turn off the outputs. This is subject to the added requirement of discharging whatever
external capacitance may be attached to these pins.
2. An alternative approach is the use of the shutdown circuitry of pin 10. Activating this circuit by applying a positive-going pulse at pin 10 will result in the output of the
comparator going high, and thus turning off the outputs.
The pulse will start the fast discharge of the soft-start
capacitor. If the shutdown command is short, the PWM '
signal is terminated without significant, discharge of the
soft-start capaCitor, thus allowing, for example, a convenient implementation of pulse-by-pulse current limiting.

SYNCHRONIZATION PROCEDURE
The device may be synchronized to an external clock; how,
ever the following pOints have to be observed: a) The fre- ,
quency of the free-running oscillator of the device must be
set at least 10% less than the frequency of the external
clock. b) The extemal clock pulse must be at least 300 ns
wide but must not exceed the free-running pulse width (pin
4) by more than 200 ns. c) The amplitude of the external
pulse must be between;! and 5V.
Multiple devices may be synchronized together by connecting all pin 4's together and all pin 5's together; pins 6 and 7
of slave oscillatqr must be left open.

Q

General Description
The LM 1575/LM2575 are monolithic integrated circuits that
provide all the active functions for a step-down (buck)
switching regulator. These devices feature a 5V output capable of driving a 1A load with excellent line and load regulation.
Requiring a minimum number of external components,
these regulators are simple to use and include internal frequency compensation and a fixed-frequency oscillator.
The LM1575/2575 offers a high efficiency replacement for
popular three-terminal linear regulators. It substantially reduces the size of the heat sink, and in many cases no heat
sink is required.
A standard series of inductors are available from several
different manufacturers optimized for use with the LM1575/
LM2575. This feature greatly simplifies the design of switchmode power supplies.
Other features include a guaranteed ±3% tolerance on output voltage within specified input voltages and output load
conditions, and ± 10% on the oscillator frequency. External
shutdown is included, featuring less than 200 p.A standby

current. The output switch includes current limiting, as well
as thermal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions.

Test Circuit and Layout Guidelines
As in any switching regulator, layout is very important. Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring inductance
generate voltage transients which cause problems. For minimal stray inductance and ground loops, the length of the
leads indicated by heavy lines should be kept as short as
possible. Single-point grounding (as indicated) or ground
plane construction should be used for best results.

Procedure (Continued)
2.

3.

Output Capacitor Selection (COUT)
A. The output capacitor value and the type of capacitor
used will determine the amount 6f ripple voltage that
appears as the output. A value of between 220 /LF and
1000 /LF is recommended. Selecting a low ESR
(Equivalent Series Resistance) capaCitor will result in the
lowest amount of ripple. The lower capacitor values will
allow typically 50 mV to 1S0 mV of output ripple, while
larger-value capaCitors will reduce the ripple to
approximately 3S mV to SO mV.
To further reduce the output ripple voltage, several lowvalue standard capacitors may be paralleled, or a highergrade capa.citor may be used. Such capaCitors are often
called "high-frequency", "low-inductance", or "Iow-ESR".
These will reduce the output ripple to 10 mV to 20 mV.
However, reducing the ESR below O.OSO can cause
instability. For this reason, the use of tantalum capacitors
is not recommended.
B. The capacitor's voltage rating should be at least 1.2S
times greater than the output voltage. For a SV regulator,
a rating of at least 6.3V is appropriate, and a 10V rating is
recommended.
Catch Diode Selection (01)
The catch diode current rating must be at least 1.2 times
greater than the maximum load current. Also, if the power
supply design must withstand continuous shorted output
conditions, the diode current rating should be greater than
3A. The most stressful condition for this diode is an
overload or short circuit condition.
A. The reverse voltage rating of the diode should be at
least 1.2S times the maximum input voltage.
B. Because of their fast switching speed and low forward
voltage drop, Schottky diodes provide the best efficiency,
especially in SV switching regulators. Fast-Recovery,
High-Efficiency, or Ultra-Fast Recovery diodes are also
suitable, but some types with an abrupt turn-off
characteristic may cause instability and EMI problems. A
fast-recovery diode with soft recovery characteristics is a
better choice. To prevent damage to the LM2575, fastrecovery diodes should not be used for VIN:2: 35V,
Standard 60 Hz diodes (e.g., 1N4001, etc.) are also not
suitable, See Figure 5 for Schottky and "soft" fastrecovery diode selection guide.

B. CapaCitor voltage rating = 1OV

Application Hints
RMS ripple current rating should be greater than 1.2 x
(toNtn x ILOAD.

Input CapaCitor (CIN)
To maintain stability, the regulator Input pin must be bypassed with at least a 22 /LF electrolytic capaCitor. The capacitor's leads must be kept short, and located as close as
possible to the regulator.
If the operating temperature range includes temperatures
below -2SoC, the input capaCitor value may need to be
larger. (This also applies to the output capaCitor.) With'most
electrolytic capacitors, the capacitance value decreases
and the ESR increases with lower temperatures and age.
For maximum capacitor operating lifetime, the capacitor's

Feedback Connection
The LM2S75 feedback 'circuitry Is designed so that, when
the output voltage is connected directly to the Feedback
pin, the output voltage is 5V.
ON/OFF Input
For normal operation, the ON/OFF pin should be grounded
or driven with a low-level TIL voltage. To put the regulator
Into standby mode, drive this pin with a high-level TIL signal.
2-56

Application Hints (Continued)
Grounding
To maintain output voltage stability, the power ground connections must be low-impedance (see Figure 1). For the
TO-3 style package, the case is ground. For the 5-lead
TO-220 style package, both the tab and pin 3 are ground
and either connection may be used, as they are both part of
the same copper leadframe.

Catch Diode

when the LM2575 switch is OFF.
Duty Cycle (D)

where T is the oscillator period, typically 1/52 kHz.

Heat Sink/Thermal Considerations
In many cases, no heat sink is required to keep the LM2575
junction temperature within the allowed operating range. For
each application, to determine whether or not a heat sink
will be required, the following must be identified:
1. Maximum ambient temperature (in the application).
2. Maximum regulator power dissipation (in application).

Efficiency (71)
The proportion of input power actually delivered to the load.

3. Maximum allowed junction temperature (1500C for
LM1575 or 125'C for the LM2575). For a safe, conservative deSign, a temperature approximately 15'C cooler
than the maximum temperatures should be selected.

Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL)
The pure inductance component of a capaCitor (see Figure
6). The amount of inductance is determined to a large extent on the capacitor's construction.

4. LM2575 package thermal resistances 8JA and 8JC.
Total power dissipated by the LM2575 can be calculated as
follows:

~IESR

Po = (VIN)(lS) + (VOIVIN)(lLOAO)(VSAT)
where Is (supply current) and VSAT can be found in the
Characteristic Curves shown previously, VIN is the applied
minimum input voltage, Vo is the regulated output voltage,
and ILOAO Is the load current. The dynamic losses during
turn-on and turn-off are negligible if a Schottky is used as
the catch diode.

FIGURE 6. Simple Model of a Real CapaCitor
Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR)
The purely resistive component of a' real capaCitor's impedance. (see Figure 6). It causes power loss resulting in capaCitor heating, which directly affects the capacitor's operating lifetime. When used as a switching regulator output
filter, higher ESR values result In higher output ripple voltages.
Most standard aluminum electrolytic capacitors in the
220 ""F-1000 ""F range have 0.10. to 0.30 ESA. Highergrade capaCitors ("Iow-ESR", "high-frequency", or "low-inductance") in the 220 ""F-l000 ""F range generally have
ESR of less than 0.150.

When no heat sink Is used, the junction temperature rise
can be determined by the following:
~TJ = (Po)(8JN
To arrive at the actual operating junction temperature, add
the junction temperature rise to the maximum ambient temperature.

TJ = ~TJ + TA
If the actual operating junction temperature is greater than
the selected safe operating junction temperature determined step 3, then a heat sink is required.

Output Ripple Voltage
The AC component of the switching regulator's output voltage. It is usually dominated by the output capaCitor's ESR
multiplied by the inductor'S ripple current. The peak-to-peak
value of this sawtooth ripple current will be typically 40% of
the maximum load current (when the Design Procedure in
the datasheet is followed).

When using a heat sink, the junction temperature rise can
be determined by the following:
~TJ = (Po)(8JC + 8interface + OHeat sink)
The operating junction temperature will be:

Ripple Current
RMS value of the maximum allowable alternating current at
which a capacitor can be operated continuously at a specified temperature.

TJ = TA + ~TJ
As above, if the actual operating junction temperature is
greater than the selected safe operating junction temperature, then a larger heat sink is required (one that has a lower
thermal reSistance).

Standby Current (ISTBY)
Supply current required by the LM2575 when in the standby
mode (ON/OFF pin is driven to TTL-high voltage), thus turning the output switch OFF.

Functional Description
The LM1578A is a pulse-width modulator designed for use
as a switching regulator controller. It may also be used in
other applications which require controlled pulse-width voltage drive.
A control signal, usually representing output voltage, fed
into the LM1578A's comparator is compared with an internally-generated reference. The resulting error signal and the
oscillator's output are fed to a logic network which determines when the output transistor will be turned ON or OFF.
The following is a brief description of the subsections of the
LM1578A.

OUTPUT TRANSISTOR
The output transistor is capable of delivering up to 750 mA
with a saturation voltage of less than 0.9V. (see Col/ector
Saturation Voltage and Emitter Ssturation Voltage curves).
The emitter must not be pulled more than 1V below ground
(this limit Is 0.6V for TJ ~ 100'C). Because of this limit, an
external transistor must be used to develop negative output
voltages (see the lilVerting Regulator Typical Application).
Other configurations may need protection against violation
of this limit (see the Emitter Output section of the Applications Information).

COMPARATOR INPUT STAGE
The LM157.8A's comparator input stage is unique in that
both the inverting and non-inverting inputs are available to
the user, and both contain a 1.0V reference. This is accomplished as follows: A 1.0V reference is fed into a modified
voltage follower circuit (see FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM).
When both input pins are open, no current flows through R1
and R2. Thus, both inputs to the comparator will have the
potential of the 1.0V reference, VA. When one input, for
example the non-inverting input, is pulled Il.V away from VA,
a current of Il.VIR1 will flow through R1. This same current
flows through R2, and the comparator sees a total voltage
of 21l.V between its inputs. The high gain of the system,
through feedback, will correct for this .imbalance and return
both Inputs to the 1.0V level.
This unusual comparator input stage Increases circuit flexibility, while minimizing the total number of external components required for a voltage regulator system. The inverting
switching regulator configuration, for example, can be set up
without having to use an external op amp for feedback polarity reversal (see TYPICAL APPLICATIONS).

CURRENT LIMIT
The LM1578A's current limit may be referenced to either
the ground or the Yin pins, and operates on a cycle-by-cycle
basis.
The current limit section consists of two comparators: one
with its non-inverting input referenced to a voltage 110 mV
below Yin, the other with its inverting input referenced
110 mV above ground (see FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM). The
current limit is activated whenever the current limit terminal
is pulled 110 mV away from either Yin or ground.

Applications Information
CURRENT LIMIT
As mentioned in the functional description, the current limit
terminal may be referenced to either the Vln or the ground
terminal. Resistor R3 converts the current to be sensed into
a voltage for current limit detection.
V,N

OSCILLATOR
The LM 1578A provides an on-board oscillator which can be
adjusted up to 100 kHz. Its frequency Is set by a single
external capacitor, C10 as shown in Figura 1, and follows the
equation
fose = 8X10- 5/C,
The oscillator provides a blanking pulse to limit maximum
duty cycle to 90%, and a reset pulse to the internal circuitry.

CURRENT LIMIT TRANSIENT SUPPRESSION

co

VIN

When noise spikes and switching transients interfere with
proper current limit operation, R1 and C1 act together as a
low pass filter to control the current limit circuitry's response
time.
Because the sense current of the current limit terminal varies according to where it is referenced, R 1 should be less
than 2 kO when referenced to ground, and less than 1000
when referenced to Vin.

UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT
Under-voltage lockout is accomplished with few external
components. When Vln becomes lower than the zener
breakdown voltage, the output transistor Is turned off. This
occurs because diode 01 will then become forward biased,
allowing resistor A3 to sink a greater current from the noninverting input than is sunk by the parallel combination of R1
and R2 at the inverting terminal. R3 should be one-fifth of
the value of R1 and R2 in parallel.

C.L. SENSE VOLTAGE MULTIPLICATION
When a larger sense resistor value is desired, the voltage
divider network, consisting of R1 and R2, may be used. This
effectively multiplies the sense voltage by (1 + R1/R2).
Also, R1 can be replaced by a diode to increase current limit
sense voltage to about 800 mV (diode VI + 110 mV).

MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE LIMITING
The maximum duty cycle can be externally limited by adjusting the charge to discharge ratio of the oscillator capacitor
with a single external resistor. Typical values are 50 /LA for
the charge current, 450 /LA for the discharge current, and a
voltage swing from 200 mV to 750 mV. Therefore, R1 is
selected for the desired charging and discharging slopes
and C1 is readjusted to set the oscillator frequency.

DUTY CYCLE ADJUSTMENT
When manual or mechanical selection of the output transis·
tor's duty cycle is needed, the cirucit shown below may be
used. The output will turn on with the beginning of each
oscillator cycle and turn off when the current sunk by R2
and R3 from the non-inverting terminal becomes greater
than the current sunk from the inverting terminal.
With the resistor values as shown, R3 can be used to adjust
the duty cycle from 0% to 90%.
When the sum of R2 and R3 is twice the value of R1, the
duty cycle will be about 50%. C1 may be a large electrolytic
capacitor to lower the oscillator frequency below 1 Hz.

TLlH/8711-24

FIGURE 11. Shutdown Occurs when VL Is High
EMITTER OUTPUT
When the LM1578A output transistor is in the OFF state, if
the Emitter output swings below the ground pin voltage, the
output transistor will turn ON because its base is clamped
near ground. The Collector Cuffent with Emitter Output Below Ground curve shows the amount of Collector current
drawn in this mode, vs temperature and Emitter voltage.
When the Collector-Emitter voltage is high, this current will
cause high power dissipation in the output transistor and
should be avoided.
This situation can occur in the high-current high-voltage
buck application if the Emitter output is used and the catch
diode's forward voltage drop is greater than 0.6V. A fast-recovery diode can be added in series with the Emitter output
to counter the forward voltage drop of the catch diode (see
Figure 2). For better efficiency of a high output current buck
regulator, an external PNP transistor should be used as
shown in Figure 16.

REMOTE SHUTDOWN
The LM1578A may be remotely shutdown by sinking a

inverting input. This may be accomplished by selecting resistOr R3 to be approximately one-half the value of R1 and
R2 in parallel.

SYNCHRONIZING DEVICES
When several devices are to be operated at once, their oscillators may be synchronized by the application of an external signal. This drive signal should be a pulse waveform with
a minimum pulse width of 2 ",s. and an amplitude from 1.5V
to 2.0V. The Signal source must be capable of 1.) driving
capacitive loads and 2.) delivering up to 500 ",A for each

The LM1578A may be operated in either the continuous or

has higher efficiency and lower EMI characteristics than the

Buck, Boost and Inverting Regulators as follows: .

C2 ~ Vo (Vin - Vo)/(8f~sc 2VinV,ippleL1)
where V'ipple is the peak-to-peak output voltage ripple.
C3 is necessary for continuous operation and is generally in the 10 pF to 30 pF range.

BUCK
L = Vo (Vin - Vo)/(AIL Yin foscl

01 should be a Schottky type diode, such as the
1N5818 or 1N5819.

L = Vin2 (VO - Vin)/(AIL lose Vo2)

BUCK WITH BOOSTED OUTPUT CURRENT

L = Vin2lVol/[AldVin + IVol)2loscl
where AIL is the current ripple through the inductor. AIL is
usually chosen based on the minimum load current expected 01 the circuit. For the buck regulator, since the inductor
current IL equals the load current 10,

For applications requiring a large output current, an external
transistor may be used as shown in Figure 17. This circuit
steps a 15V supply down to 5V with 1.5A of output current.
The output ripple is 50 mV, with an efficiency of 80%, a load
regulation of 40 mV (150 mA to 1.5A), and a line regulation
of 20 mV (12V ,,; Yin ,,; 18V).
Component values are selected as outlined for the buck
regulator with a discontinuity factor of 10%, with the addition of R4 and R5:

AIL = 2· 10(min)
AIL = 140 mA for this circuit. AIL can also be interpreted as
AIL = 2 • (Discontinuity Factor) • IL
where the Discontinuity Factor is the ratio of the minimum
load current to the maximum load current. For this example,
the Discontinuity Factor is 0.2:

R4 = 10VBE1B,/lp
R5 = (Vln - V - YBEl - Vsatl B,/(lL(max, DC)
where:

VBEl is the VBE of transistor 01.

BOOST REGULATOR
The boost regulator converts a low input voltage into a higher output voltage. The basic configuration is shown in Figure
18. Energy is stored in the inductor,while the transistor is on
and then transferred with the input ,voltage to the output
capacitor for filtering when the transistor is off. Thus,

L1 is found as described in the buck converter section.
INVERTING REGULATOR

Typical Applications (Continued)
For good efficiency, the diodes must have a low forward
voltage drop and be fast switching. 1N5819 Schottky diodes
work well.
Transformer selection should be picked for an output transistor "on" time of 0.4/fosc, and a primary inductance high
enough to prevent the output transistor switch from ramping
higher than the transistor's rating of 750 mA. Pulse Engineering (San Diego, Calif.) and Renco Electronics, Inc.
(Deer Park, N.Y.) can provide further assistance in selecting
the proper transformer for a specific application need. The
transformer used in Figure 23 was a Pulse Engineering
PE-64287.

Capacitor C1 sets the oscillator frequency and is selected
from Figure 1.
Capacitor C2 serves as a compensation capacitor for synchronous operation and a value of 10 to 50 pF should be
sufficient for most applications.
A minimum value for an ideal output capacitor C3, could be
calculated as C = 10 x II Ii V where 10 is the load current, t
is the transistor on time (typically 0.4/fosc), and IiV is the
peak-to-peak output voltage ripple. A larger output capacitor
than this theoretical value should be used since electrolytics
have poor high frequency performance. Experience has
shown that a value from 5 to 10 times the calculated value
should be used.

LM2579 Switching Regulator
General Description

Features

The LM2579 can easily be used in switching regulator configurations, such as the buck, boost, and inverting, to perform DC-to-DC voltage conversion. The LM2579 features a
unique comparator input stage which not only has separate
pins for both the inverting and non-inverting inputs, but also
provides an internal 1.0V reference to each input, thereby
simplifying circuit design and p.c. board layout. The output
can switch up to 3A and has output pins for both its collector and emitter to promote design flexibility. An external current limit terminal may be referenced to either the ground or
the VIN terminal, depending upon the application. In addition, the LM2579 has an onboard oscillator, which sets the
switching frequency with a single external capacitor, from
< 1 Hz to 100 kHz (typical).

Test Circuitt

Definition of Terms

Parameter tests can be made using the test circuit shown.
Select the desired VIN, collector voltage and duty cycle with
adjustable power supplies. A digital volt meter with an input
resistance greater than 100 MO should be used to measure
the following:
Input Reference voltage to Ground; SI in either position.
Level Shift Accuracy (%) = Tp3(V)/1V) • 100%; SI at
11 = 12 = 1 mAo
Input current (mA) = (1V - Tp3(V»/l MO; SI at
11 = 12 = 0 mAo
Oscillator parameters can be measured at TP4 using a frequency counter or an oscilloscope.
The Current Limit Sense Voltage is measured by connecting
an adjustable O-to-1V floating power supply in series with
the current limit terminal and referring it to either the ground
or the VIN terminal. Set the duty cycle to 90% and monitor
test point T P5 while adjusting the floating power supply voltage until the LM2579's duty cycle just reaches 0%. This
voltage is the Current Limit Sense Voltage.
The Supply Current should be measured with the duty cycle
at 0% and SI in the 11 = 12 = 0 mA pOSition.
tLM2579 specifications are measured using automated test
equipment. This circuit is provided for the customer's convenience when checking parameters. Due to possible variations in testing conditions, the measured values from these
testing procedures may not match those of the factory.

Input Reference Voltage: The reference voltage referred
to ground, applied to either the inverting or non-inverting
inputs, which will cause the output to switch ON or OFF.
Input Reference Current: The current applied to either the
inverting or the non-inverting input which will cause the output to switch ON or OFF.
Input Level Shift Accuracy: If there are two equal resistors
sinking current from the inverting and non-inverting input
terminals, the Input Level Shift Accuracy is the ratio of the
voltage across the resistors to produce a given duty cycle at
the output.
Collector Saturation Voltage: With the inverting input terminal grounded through a 10 kO resistor and the output
transistor's emitter connected to ground, the Collector Saturation Voltage is the collector-to-emitter voltage for a given
collector current.
Emitter Saturation Voltage: With the inverting input terminal grounded through a 10 kO resistor and the output transistor~s collector connected to VIN, the Emitter Saturation
Voltage is the collector-to-emitter voltage for a given emitter
current.
Collector-Emitter Sustaining Voltage: The collector-emitter breakdown voltage of the output transistor, measured at
a specified current.

sistor to turn OFF. The logic circuitry is reset at the beginning of each. oscillator cycle.
Current Limit Sense Current: The bias current for the Current limit terminal with the applied voltage equal to the Current Limit Sense Voltage.

The LM2579 provides an on-board oscillator Which can be
adjusted up to 100kHz. Its frequency is set by a single
external capacitor, C1, as shown in Figure 1, and ·follows the
equation
fose = 8 X 10-5/C1
The oscillator provides a blanking pulse to limit maximum
duty cycle to 90%, and a reset pulse to the internal Circuitry.

Supply Current: The IC power supply current, excluding
current drawn through the output transistor, with the oscillator operating.

OUTPUT TRANSISTOR
The output transistor is capable of delivering uP. t6 3A with a
saturation voltage of less than 0.75V (see Col/ector Saturation Voltage and Emitter Saturation Voltage curves).

Functional Description
The LM2579 is a pulse-width modulator designed for use as
a ·switching regulator controller. It may also be used in other
applications which require controlled pulse-width voltage
drive.

The emitter can be pulled below ground, as long as the total
voltage between the emitter pin and collector or supply pin
does not exceed 50V. This feature allows the LM2579 to be
used in an inverting regulator configuration without an additional output transistor which would normally be required to
protect the device from the negative output voltage.

A control signal, usually· representing output voltage, fed
into the LM2579's comparator is compared with an internally-generated reference. The resulting error signal and the
oscillator's output are fed to a logic network which determines when the output transistor will be turned ON or OFF.
The following is a brief description of the subsections of the
LM2579.

CURRENT LIMIT
The LM2579's current limit may be referenced to either the
ground or the VIN pin, and operates on a cycle-by-cycle
basis:
The current limit section consists of two comparators: one
with its non-inverting input referenced to a· voltage 115 mV
below VIN, the other with its inverting input referenced
115 mV above ground (see FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM). The
current limit is activated whenever the current limit terminal
is pulled 115 mV away from either VIN or ground.

COMPARATOR INPUT STAGE
The LM2579's comparator input stage is unique in that both
the inverting and non-inverting inputs are available to the
user, and both contain a 1.0V reference. This is accomplished as follows: A 1.0V reference is fed into a modified
voltage follower circuit (see FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM).
When both input pins are open, no current flows through R1
and R2. Thus, both inputs to the comparator will have the
potential of the 1.0V reference, VA. When one input, for
example the non-inverting input, is pulled /i V away from VA,
a current of /iV/R1 will flow through R1. This same current
flows through R2, and the comparator sees a total voltage.
of 2/iV between its inputs. The high gain of the system,
through feedback, will correct for this imbalance and return
both inputs to the 1.0V level.

Application Information
CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT
Because of fast switching of high output currents, the circuit
board layout should be carefully thought out. The comparator inputs are sensitive to noise, and should be kept away
from the high-energy switching signals. Feedback resistors
should be located near the input terminals. A single-point
ground should be used for the oscillator capacitor, device
ground, and feedback (when appropriate) to avoid ground
loops.

This unusual comparaior input stage increases circuit flexibility, while minimizing the totar number of external components required for a voltage regulator system. The inverting
switching regulator configuration, for example, can be set up

LEAD INDUCTANCE IMPACTS DIODE CHOICE
It is always important to use diodes deSigned for switching
applications. Schottky diodes generally provide superior
performance, although fast recovery diodes can also be
used. Fast recovery diodes differ from Schottky diodes in
their turn-on and turn-off characteristics, which can cause
voltage transients that will affect circuit operation.
The turn-off, or "recovery," time of a diode refers to the time
it takes for the charge that has been stored in the diode
during the forward conduction period to be depleted. During
this recovery period, the diode appears to be a short, causing a fast current pulse to flow through the switch. Since the
LM2579's output is capable of switching current at a rate of
approximately 30 AlIJ.$, and one Inch of 20-gauge wire has
approximately 30 nH of Inductance, a transient of nearly 1V
can be generated for every Inch of stray wire (V = L dlldt =
30 nH x 30 AlIJ.S = 0.9V). Since the LM2579's current limit
sense voltage Is 115 mV (typ.), transients like these can

greatly affect circuit operation. They can be minimized by
keeping all lead lengths short, thus reducing stray inductances. Additional methods of suppressing noise spikes and
switching transients are described in the Current Limit Transient Suppression section.

C. L. SENSE VOLTAGE MULTIPLICATION
When a larger sense resistor value is desired, a voltage
divider network may be used (see Figures 5, 6). This effectively multiplies the sense voltage by (1 + R1 IR2). Alternatively, R1 can be replaced by a diode to increase current
limit sense voltage to about 800 mV (diode Vd + 115 mY).

The turn-on time of the switching diode must also be considered. A slow turn-on can cause an increase in the voltage
across the output transistor, which is rated for 50V (maximum) in the LM2579). This condition can exist in all configurations.

FIGURE 10. Maximum Duty Cycle Limiting
DUTY CYCLE ADJUSTMENT
When manual or mechanical selection of the output transistor's duty cycle is needed, the circuit shown in Figure 11
may be used. The output will turn ON with the beginning of
each oscillator cycle, and turn OFF when the current sunk
by Ra1 and Ra2 from the non-inverting terminal becomes
greater than the current sunk from the inverting terminal.

UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT
Under-VOltage lockout requires few external components,
as shown in Figure 9. When Vllil becomes lower than the
zener breakdown voltage, the LM2579's output transistor is
turned OFF. This occurs because diode 01 will then become forward biased, allowing resistor RU to sink a greater
current from the non-inverting input than is sunk by the parallel combination of the feedback resistors, R1 and R2, at
the inverting terminal. RU should be one-fifth of the value of
Rl and R2 in parallel.

With the resistor values as shown, Ra2 can be used to adjust the duty cycle from 0% to 90%. When the sum of Ral
and Ra2 is twice the value of Rp, the duty cycle will be about
50%. Cl may be a large electrolytic capaCitor, to lower the
oscillator frequency below 1 Hz if appropriate for the application.

MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE LIMITING
The maximum duty cycle can be externally limited by adjusting the charge-to-discharge ratio of the oscillator capacitor
with a single external resistor, as shown in Figure 10. Typical values are 50 ",A for the charge current, 450 /LA for the
discharge current and a voltage swing from 200 mV to
750 mY. Therefore, Rd is selected for the desired charging
and discharging slopes, and Cl is readjusted to set the oscillator frequency.

REMOTE SHUTDOWN
The LM2579 may be remotely shut down by sinking a greater current from the non-inverting input than from the inverting input. This may be accomplished by selecting resistor
Rs to be approximately one-half the value of the parallel
combination of Rl and R2 (see Figure 12). Shutdown will
occur when VL is high.

ADAPTING LM 1578 DESIGNS TO THE LM2579

On

All LM1578 designs may be adapted for use with the
LM2579 to achieve higher output power. The LM2579 is
based on the design of the LM1578 switching regulator controller. with a few modifications. The output switching transistor is capable of delivering 3A (peak or DC). compared to
the 0.75A maximum current rating of the LM1578. and the
Emitter output can swing more negative than the ground
terminal. Because of the difference in current rating. the
LM2579 is in the TO-220 style package so it may be easily
heat-sunk. Heat sinking is necessary for most LM2579 designs. especially those operating at high switch currents.
For example. the loss of 3W in the output switch of a converter operating at 35'C ambient would raise the die temperature near its maximum rating of 150'C if no heat sink were
used (see Note 3 in the Electrical Characteristics).
The other modification seen in the LM2579 is the 20 pF
capacitor that is used. in LM1578 applications. to inject an
end-of-cycle signal into the error comparator. improving
synchronization of the switching to the oscillator. It is not
necessary to add this capacitor in LM2579 applications.

FIGURE 13. Synchronizing Devices
IMPROVING TRANSISTOR SATURATION
The efficiency of a switching regulator is highest when the
power transistor is allowed to fully saturate. minimizing the
Collector-Emitter voltage when the transistor is ON. When
the Collector is used as the output. with the Emitter grounded. the output transistor will fully saturate. Saturation voltage depends on the load current (see Collector Saturation
Voltage curve). and is normally under 0.8V. over temperature.
.
However. when the Emitter is used as the output (Collector
tied to VIN. as in Figure 14). the output transistor cannot
fully saturate because of the Darlington configuration of the
output stage. This results in a 1.7V drop (typically) across
the power device Q3 during the conduction period (refer to
Emitter Saturation Voltage curve).

Typical Applications
The LM2579 can be used in all standard configurations
which require a single switching transistor. These include
the buck (or step-down). boost (or step-up). invert. flyback.
and forward styles.

2-81

Typical Applications (Continued)
Output ripple voltage is about 40 mVpp when the output
filter capacitor, C2, is a standard 1000 poF electrolytic. ReplaCing this capacitor with a 1500 poF "low ESR" (equivalent
series reSistance) capacitor reduces the ripple to 20 mVpp.
The minimum value of this capacitor can be determined by
the following equation
C2 ~ Vo (VIN - Vol I (8 VIN VRIPPLE L fosc 2)

Several design examples follow which include a variety of
techniques to improve regulator performance.
Inductors having the standard values shown in the nomograph of Figure 17 are available from Pulse Engineering
(San Diego, CA);· AlE Magnetics; division of Vernatron (St.
Petersburg, FL); and Renco Electronics (Deer Park, NY).
BUCK REGULATOR

where VRIPPLE is the desired maximum output voltage ripple
in peak-to-peak Volts. The ripple will be greater than predicted by this equation due to effects of ESR in C2.

In the buck regulator of Rgure 16, a 28V input is converted
to 5V, with a load of up to 2.5A. Efficiency at maximum load
is approximately 80%, and load regulation is approximately
0.05%/A in the range 0.3A ,;; ILOAD ,;; 2.5A. Switching frequency has been set to 40 kHz by the choice of 2 nF for Cl
(see Figure 1).

Figure 16 illustrates the single-point grounding and supply
bypassing necessary for this type of moderate-to-high current switching regulator. For best regulation, all high-current
paths, including ground, must be kept low-resistance.

The value of the inductor, L, is determined by the use of the
Inductance Calculator (Figure 17). or by the equation

-Note: When pin 5, the Emitter of the LM2579 output transistor, is used to drive the output filter, it may oscillate when
driven into positive saturation and when loaded with capacitance of between 100 pF and 500 pF. This capacitance is
usually caused by socket capacitance, input capacitance of
external components (such as the Schottky diode), and
stray capaCitance in the layout. The oscillation, which is usually near 30 MHz, can be eliminated by adding a series RC
of 4.7n to Ion and 1 nF from the Emitter (pin 5) to Ground.

L = Vo (VIN - Vol I (1l1L VIN fosel
where IlIL is the current ripple through the inductor. IlIL is
usually chosen based on the minimum load current expected of the circuit: For the Buck regulator, since IL = ILOAD,
IlIL is twice the minimum load current value IlIL = 350 mA
for this circuit, so operation will become discontinuous at
(1lIL(min)/2)(100%/IL(max» = 7% of the maximum load current. (This is the "% Discontinuity" referred to in the Inductance Calculator.)

In the Emitter-driven configurations, the Collector output
(pin 7) is normally tied to VIN (pin 8). If this connection uses
long lead lengths (greater than 3" total), the Collector
should be bypassed to VIN with 0.01 poF (or greater), attached directly to the terminals. In addition, when current
limiting is used, connections to the Current Limit pin (pin 9)
should be made with short leads. Use of these techniques
to minimize lead inductance will also minimize switching
transients, thus reducing conducted noise.

At this minimum value, the inductor current will just reach
zero at the end of every switching periop. Below the "minimum," the inductor will "run dry" and the regulator will be
"discontinuous," as the inductor current is zero for part of
each cycle. In this mode, the inductor is no longer storing
energy, so is not an effective part of the output filter. Regulation will continue but performance will be degraded.

BOOST REGULATOR
The boost converter of Figure 18 produces 15V at up to
BOO mA from a 5V Input, with B2% efficiency. The output
ripple (with an BOO mA load) is 100 mV when a standard
1000 ""F electrolytic output capacitor is used, or 75 mV if a
1500 ""F low-ESR electrolytic is used. The minimum value
of C2 may be calculated using the same equation as shown
In the BUCK REGULATOR section.
The inductor value is selected either using the Inductance

may be calculated as follows:

120 mVpp when C2 is a 1000 ""F standard electrolytic capaCitor, or 60 mVpp when a 1500 ""F low-ESR capacitor is
used. The minimum value of C2 may be calculated using the
equation shown in the BUCK REGULATOR section.
The efficiency of this regulator is approximately 76%. To
achieve higher efficiency, the circuit may be modified (as
shown in Figu/'fJ 20) to Increase the supply voltage to the
LM2579, which reduces the saturation voltage of the output

Functional Description
The LM7BS40 is a variable frequency, variable duty cycle
device. The initial switching frequency is set by the timing
capacitor (Note 1). The initial duty cycle is 6:1. This switching frequency and duty cycle can be modified by two machanism&-the current limit circuitry (Ipk sense> and the comparator.
The comparator modifies the OFF time. When the output
voltage is correct, the comparator output is in the HIGH
state and has no effect on the circuit operation. If the output
voltage is too high then the comparator output goes LOW.
In the LOW state the comparator inhibits the tum-on of the
output stage switching transistors. As long as the comparator is LOW the system is in OFF time. As the output current
rises the OFF time decreases. As the output current nears
its maximum the OFF time approaches its minimum value.
The comparator can inhibit several ON cycles, one ON cycle or any portion of an ON cycle. Once the ON cycle has
begun the comparator cannot inhibit until the beginning of
the next ON cycle.
The current limit modifies the ON time. The current limit is
activated when a 300 mV potential appears between lead
13 (Vcc) and lead 14 (Ipk). This potential is intended to result when designed for peak current flows through Rsc.
When the peak current is reached the current limit is turned
on. The current limit circuitry provides for a quick end to ON
time and the immediate start of OFF time.
Generally the oscillator is free running but the current limit
action tends to reset the timing cycle.
Increasing load results in more current limited ON time and
less OFF time. The switching frequency increases with load
current
VFO is the forward voltage drop across the internal power
diode. It is listed on the data sheet as 1.25V typical, 1.5V
maximum. If an external diode Is used, then Its own forward
voltage drop must be used for VFO.
VSAT is the voltage across the switch element (output transistors 01 and 02) when the switch is closed or ON. This is
listed on the data sheet as output saturation voltage.
Output saturation voltage 1-defined as the switching element voltage for 02 and 01 in the Darlington configuration
with coliectors tied together. This applies to Figure 1, the
step down mode.
Output saturation voltage 2-switching element voltage for
01 only when used as a transistor switch. This applies to
F/{/ure 2, the step up mode.
For the inverting mode, F/{/ure 3, the saturation voltage of
the external transistor should be used for VSAT.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The LMC7660 closely approaches 1 and 2 above. By using
a large pump capacitor Cp, the charge removed while supplying the reservoir capacitor is small compared to Cp's total
charge. Small removed charge means small changes in the
pump capacitor voltage, and thus small energy loss and
high efficiency. The energy loss by Cp is:
E = YzCp (V12 - V22)

The LMC7660 contains four large CMOS switches which
are switched in a sequence to provide supply inversion You!
= - Yin. Energy transfer and storage are provided by two
inexpensive electrolytic capacitors. Figure 2 shows how the
LMC7660 can be used to generate -V+ from V+. When
switches 81 and 83 are closed, Cp charges to the supply
voltage V+. During this time interval, switches 82 and S4
are open. After Cp charges to V+, 81 and S3.are opened,
52 and 84 are then closed. By connecting 82 to ground, Cp
develops a voltage -V+ 12 on Cr. After a number of cycles
Cr will be pumped to exactly -V+. This transfer will be
exact assuming no load on Cr, and no loss in the switches.
In the circuit of Figure 2, 81 is a P-channel device and 82,
53, and 54 are N-channel devices. Because the output is
biased below ground, it is important that the p- wells of 53
and 54 never become forward biased with respect to either
their sources or drains. A substrate logic circuit guarantees
that these p- wells are always held at the proper. voltage.
Under .all conditions 54 p- well must be at the lowest potential in the circuit. To switch off 54, a level translator generates VGS4 = OV, and this is accomplished by biasing the
level translator from the 84 p- well.

By using a large reservoir capacitor, the output ripple can be
reduced to an acceptable level. For example, if the load
current is 5 mA and the accepted ripple is 200 mV, then the
reservoir capaCitor can omit approximately be calculated
from:
dv
Is = Crift

-

CrX ~
4/Fosc

0.5mA .
Cr = 0.5V1ms = 10 p.F

PRECAUTIONS
1) Do not exceed the maximum supply voltage or junction
temperature.
2) Do not short pin 6 (LV terminal) to ground for supply voltages greater than 3.5V.
3) Do not short circuit the output to V+.

An internal RC oscillator and + 2 circuit provide timing signals to the level translator. The built-In regulator biases the
oscillator and divider to reduce power diSSipation on high
supply voltage. The regulator becomes active at about V +
= 6.5V. Low voltage operation can be improved if the LV
pin Is shorted to ground for V+ :s;; 3.5V. For V+ ;;: 3.5V, the
LV pin must be left open to prevent damage to the part.

4) External electrolytiC capacitors Cr and Cp should have
their polarities connected as shown In Figure 1.

REPLACING PREVIOUS 7660 DESIGNS
To prevent destructive latchup, previous 7660 designs require a diode in series with the output when operated at
elevated temperature or supply voltage. Although this prevented the latchup problem of these deSigns, it lowered the
available output voltage and Increased the output series resistance.
The National LMC7660 has been designed to solve the inherent latch problem. The LCM7660 can operate over the

POWER EFFICIENCY AND RIPPLE
It is theoretically possible to approach 100% efficiency if the
following conditions are met:
1) The drive circuitry consumes little power.
2) The. power switches are matched and have low Ron.
3) The impedance of the reservoir and pump capacitors are
negligibly small at the pumping frequency.

o---- 7V, the output stays in regulation up to IL = 25
mAo The error flag on pin 5 of the LP2951 sets low when the
regulated output at pin 4 drops by about 5%. The LP2951
can be shutdown by taking pin 3 high; the LMC7660 can be
shutdown by shorting pin 7 and pin 8.
The LP2951 can be reconfigured to an adjustable type regulator, which means the LMC7660 can give a regulated output from - 2.0V to -10V dependent on the resistor ratios
Rl and R2, as shown in Figure 12, Vref = 1.235V:

Thermometer Spans 180·C
Using the combined negative and positive multiplier of Rgure 10 with an LM35 it is possible to make a ",Power thermometer that spans a 1eo·c temperature range. The LM35
temperature sensor has an output sensitivity of 10 mVrC,
while drawing only 50 ",A of quiescent current. In order for
the LM35 to measure negative temperatures, a pull down to
a negative voltage is required. Figure 10 shows a thermometer circuit for measuring temperatures from - 55·C to
+ 125·C and requiring only two 1.5V cells. End of battery life
can be extended by replacing the up converter diodes with
Schottky's.

BI.FET IITM Technology

LF147/LF347/LF347B Wide Bandwidth
Quad JFET Input Operational Amplifiers
General Description

Features

The LF147 is a low cost, high speed quad jFET input operational amplifier with an internally trimmed input offset voltage (BI-FET IITM technology). The device requires a low
supply current and yet maintains a large gain bandwidth
product and a iast slew rate. In addition, well matched high
voltage JFET input devices provide very low input bias and
offset currents. The LF147 is pin compatible with tlie standard LM14B. This feature allows designers to immediately
upgrade the overall performance of existing LF14B and
LM124 designs.

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

The LF147 may be used in applications such as high speed
integrators, fast 01 A converters, sample-and-hold circuits
and many other circuits requiring low input offset voltage,
low input bias current, high input impedance, high slew rate
and wide bandwidth. The device has low noise and offset
voltage drift.

Note 1: Unless otherwise specified the absolute maximum negative input voltage Is equal to the negative power supply voltage.
Note 2: Any of the amplifier outputs can be shorted to ground indefinitely, however. more than one should not be simultaneously shorted as the maximum junction
temperature will be exceeded.
Note 3: For operating at elevated temperature. these devices must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 81A'
Note 4: The LF147 is available In the military temperature range -55'C:>TA:> 125'C. while the LF3478 and the LF347 are available in the commercial temperature
range O'C:>TA:>70'C. Junction temperature can rise to TI max = 150'C.
Nota 5: Unless otherwise specified the specifications apply over the full temperature range and for Vs = ± 20V for the LF147 and for Vs = ± 15V for the LF34781
LF347. Vos. Ie. and los are measured at VCM=O.
Note 6: The input bias currents are junction leakage currents which approximately double for every 10'C increase in the junction temperature, TJ. Due to limited

production test time, the input bias currents measured are correlated to junction temperature. In normal operation the junction temperature rises above the ambient
temperature as a result of intemal power dissipation. Po. TJ = TA + 8jA Po where 8jA is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient. Use of a heat sink is
recommended If input bias current is to be kept to a minimum.
Nota 7: Supply voltage rejection ratio is measured for both supply magnitudes increasing or decreasing simultaneously in accordance with common practice from
Vs = ± 5V to ±15V for the LF347 and LF347B and from Vs = ±20V to ±5V for the LF147.
Nota 6: Refer to RETS147X for LF147D and LF147J military specifications.
Note 9: Max. Power Dissipation Is defined by the package characteristics. Operating the part near the Max. Power Dissipation may cause the part to operate
outside guaranteed IIm"s.

Application Hints
The LF147 is an op amp with an internally trimmed input
offset voltage and JFET input devices (BI-FET IITM). These
JFETs have large reverse breakdown voltages from gate to
source and drain eliminating the need for clamps across the
inputs. Therefore, large differential input voltages can easily
be accommodated without a large increase in input current.
The maximum differential input voltage is independent of
the supply voltages. However, neither of the input voltages

should be allowed to exceed the negative supply as this will
cause large currents to flow which can result in a destroyed
unit.
Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input
will force the output to a high state, potentially causing a
reversal of phase to the output. Exceeding the negative
common-mode limit on both inputs will force the amplifier

3-20

Application Hints (Continued)
output to a high state. In neither case does a latch occur
since raising the input back within the common-mode range
again puts the input stage and thus the amplifier in a normal
operating mode.
Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a single input
will not change the phase of the output; however, if both
inputs exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier will be
forced to a high state.

wards in a socket as an unlimited current surge through the
resulting forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of
the internal conductors and result in a destroyed unit.
Because these amplifiers are JFET rather than MOSFET
input op amps they do not require special handling.
As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in order to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to an input should be placed with the body close to the
input to minimize "pick-up" and maximize the frequency of
the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from the
input to ground.
A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to AC ground set the frequency of the pole. In many
instances the frequency of this pole is much greater than
the expected 3 dB frequency of the closed loop gain and
consequently there is negligible effect on stability margin.
However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately 6
times the expected 3 dB frequency a lead capaCitor should
be placed from the output to the input of the op amp. The
value of the added capaCitor should be such that the RC
time constant of this capacitor and the resistance it parallels
is greater than or equal to the original feedback pole time
constant.

The amplifiers will operate with a common-mode input voltage equal to the positive supply; however, the gain bandwidth and slew rate may be decreased in this condition.
When the negative common-mode voltage swings to within
3V of the negative supply, an increase in input offset voltage
may occur.
Each amplifier is individually biased by a zener reference
which allows normal circuit operation on ±4.5V power supplies. Supply voltages less than these may result in lower
gain bandwidth and slew rate.
The LF147 will drive a 2 kO load resistance to ±10V over
the full temperature range. If the amplifier is forced to drive
heavier load currents, however, an increase in input offset
voltage may occur on the negative voltage swing and finally
reach an active current limit on both positive and negative
swings.
Precautions should be taken to ensure that the power supply for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity or that the unit is not inadvertently installed back-

Application Hints
The LF155/617 series are op amps with. JFET input devices. These JFETs have large reverse breakdown voltages
from gate to source and drain eliminating the need for
clamps across the inputs. Therefore large differential input
voltages can easily be accomodated without a large increase in input current. The maximum differential input voltage is independent of the supply voltages. However, neither
of the input voltages should be allowed to exceed the negative supply as this will cause large currents to flow which
can result in a destroyed unit.

polarity or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards in a socket as an unlimited current surge through the
resulting forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of
the internal conductors and result in a destroyed unit.
Because these amplifiers are JFET rather than MOSFET
input op amps they do not require special handling.
All of the bias currents in these amplifiers are set by FET
current sources. The drain currents for the amplifiers are
therefore essentially independent of supply voltage.
As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in order to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to an input should be placed with the body close to the
input to minimize "pickup" and maximize the frequency of
the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from the
input to ground.

Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input
will force the output to a high state, potentially causing a
reversal of phase to the output. Exceeding the negative
common-mode limit on both inputs will force the amplifier
output to a high state. In neither case does a latch occur
since raising the input back within the common-mode range
again puts the input stage and thus the amplifier in a normal
operating mode.
Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a Single input
will not change the phase of the output however, if both
inputs exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier will be
forced to a high state.

A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to ac ground set the frequency of the pole. In many
instances the frequency of this pole is much greater than
the expected 3 dB frequency of the closed loop gain and
consequently there is negligible effect on stability margin.
However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately six
times the expected 3 dB frequency a lead capacitor should
be placed from the output to the inp.ut of the op amp. The
value of the added capaCitor should be such that the RC
time constant of this capacitor and the resistance it parallels
is greater than or equal to the original feedback pole time
constant.

These amplifiers will operate with the common-mode input
voltage equal to the positive supply. In fact, ~he commonmode voltage can exceed the positive supply by approximately 100 mV independent of supply voltage and over the
full operating temperature range. The positive supply can
therefore be used as a reference on an input as, for example, in a supply current monitor and/or limiter.
Precautions should be taken to ensure that the power supply for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in

LF351 Wide Bandwidth JFET Input Operational Amplifier
General Description
The LF351 is a low cost high speed JFET input operational
amplifier with an internally trimmed input offset voltage
(BI-FET IITM technology). The device requires a low supply
current and yet maintains a large gain bandwidth product
and a fast slew rate. In addition, well matched high voltage
JFET input devices provide very low input bias and offset
currents. The LF351 is pin compatible with the standard
LM741 and uses the same offset voltage adjustment circuitry. This feature allows designers to immediately upgrade the
overall performance of existing LM741 designs.
The LF351 may be used in applications such as high speed
integrators, fast 01 A converters, sample-and-hold circuits
and many other circuits requiring low input offset voltage,
low input bias current, high input impedance, high slew rate
and wide bandwidth. The device has low noise and offset
voltage drift, but for applications where these requirements
are critical, the LF356 is recommended. If maximum supply

Note 4: The input bias currents are junction leakage currents which approximately double for every 10"C increase in the junction temperature, Tj. Due to the limited
production test time, the input bias currents measured are correlated to junction temperature. In normal operation the junction temperature rises above the ambient
temperature as a result of internal power dissipation, Po. Tj = TA+ OjA Po where 0jA is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient. Use of a heat sink is
recommended if input bias current is to be kept to a minimum.
Note 5: Supply voltage rejection ratio is measured for both supply magnitudes increasing or decreasing simultaneously in accordance with common practice. From
±15Vto ±5V.
Note 6: Max. Power Dissipation is defined by the package characteristics. Operating the part near the Max. Power Dissipation may cause the part to operate

Application Hints
The LF351 is an op amp with an internally trimmed input
offset voltage and JFET input devices (BI-FET IITM). These
JFETs have large reverse breakdown voltages from gate to
source and drain eliminating the need for clamps across the
inputs. Therefore, large differential input voltages can easily
be accommodated without a large increase in input current.
The maximum differential input voltage is independent of
the supply voltages. However, neither of the input voltages
should be allowed to exceed the negative supply as this will

cause large currents to flow which can result in a destroyed
unit.
Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input
will force the output to a high state, potentially causing a
reversal of phase to the output.
Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on both inputs
will force the amplifier output to a high state. In neither case
does a latch occur since raising the input back within the

wards in a socket as an unlimited current surge through the
resulting forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of
the internal conductors and result in a destroyed unit.

common-mode range again puts the input stage and thus
the amplifier in a normal operating, mode.
Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a single input
will not change the phase of the output; however, if both
inputs exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier will be
forced to a high state.
The amplifier will operate with a common-mode input voltage equal to the positive supply; however, the gain bandwidth and slew rate may be decreased in this condition.
When the negative common-mode voltage swings to within
3V of the negative supply, an increase in input offset voltage
may occur.
The LF351 is biased by a zener reference which allows normal circuit operation on ± 4V power supplies. Supply voltages less than these may result in lower gain bandwidth and
slew rate.

Because these amplifiers are JFET rather than MOSFET
input op amps they do not require special handling.
As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in order to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to an input should be placed with the body close to the
input to minimize "pick-up" and maximize the frequency of
the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from the
input to ground.
A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to AC ground set the frequency of the pole. In many
instances the frequency of this pole is much greater than
the expected 3 dB frequency of the closed loop gain and
consequently there is negligible effect on stability margin.
However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately 6
times the expected 3 dB frequency a lead capacitor should
be placed from the output to the input of the op amp. The
value of the added capacitor should be such that the RC
time constant of this capacitor and the resistance it parallels
is greater than or equal to the original feedback pole time
constant.

The LF351 will drive a 2 kO load resistance to ± 1DV over
the full temperature range of D'C to + 7D'C. If the amplifier
is forced to drive heavier load currents, however, an increase in input offset voltage may occur on the negative
voltage swing and finally reach an active current limit on
both positive and negative swings.
Precautions should be taken to ensure that the power supply
for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity
or that the unit is not inadvertently installed back-

LF353 Wide Bandwidth Dual
JFET Input Operational Amplifier
General Description

Features

These devices are low cost, high speed, dual JFET input
operational amplifiers with an internally trimmed input offset
voltage (BI-FET IITM technology). They require low supply
current yet maintain a large gain bandwidth product and fast
slew rate. In addition, well matched high voltage JFET input
devices provide very. low input bias and offset currents. The
LF353 is pin compatible with the standard LM1558 allowing
designers to immediately upgrade the overall performance
of existing LM1558 and LM358 designs.

These amplifiers may be used in applications such as high
speed integrators, fast 01 A converters, sample and hold
circuits and many other circuits requiring low input offset
voltage, low input bias current, high input impedance, high
slew rate and wide bandwidth. The devices also exhibit low
noise and offset voltage drift.

Note 1: For operating at elevatad tamperatures, the device must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 115"C/W typ junction to ambient for the Npackage,
and 158'C/W typ junction to ambient for the H package.
Note 2: Unless otherwise specified the absolute maximum negative Input voltage is equal to the negative power supply voltage.
Note 3: The power dissipation limit, however, cannot be exceeded.
Note 4: These specifications apply for VS= ±15V and O"CS:TAS: +70"C. vos, Ie and los are measured at VCM-O.
Note 6: The Input bias currents are junction leakage currents which approximately double for every 10"C increase in the junction temperature, TI' Due to the limitad
production test time, the input bias currents measured are correlatad to junction temperature. In normal operation the junction temperature rises above the ambient
tamperature as a resuH of internal power dissipation, PD. TI= TA + 61A Po where 6/A is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient Use of a heat sink is
recommended if Input bias current is to be kept to a minimum.
Note 6: Supply voltage rejection ratio Is measured for both supply magnitudes Increasing or decreasing simultaneously in accordance with common practice.

inputs exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier will be
forced to a high state.
The amplifiers will operate with a common-mode input voltage equal to the positive supply; however, the gain bandwidth and slew rate may be decreased in this condition.
When the negative common-mode voltage swings to within
3V of the negative supply, an increase in input offset voltage
may occur.

As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in order to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to an input should be placed with the body close to the
input to minimize "pick-up" and maximize the frequency of
the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from the
input to ground.
A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to AC ground set the frequency of the pole. In many
instances the frequency of this pole is much greater than
the expected 3 dB frequency of the closed loop gain and
consequently there is negligible effect on stability margin.
However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately 6
times the expected 3 dB frequency a lead capacitor should
be placed from the output to the input of the op amp. The
value of the added capacitor should be such that the RC
time constant of this capacitor and the resistance it parallels
is greater than or equal to the original feedback pole time
constant.

Each amplifier is individually biased by a zener reference
which allows normal circuit operation on ±6V power supplies. Supply voltages less than these may result in lower
gain bandwidth and slew rate.
The amplifiers will drive a 2 kO load resistance to ±10V
over the full temperature range of O·C to + 70·C. If the amplifier is forced to drive heavier load currents, however, an
increase in input offset voltage may occur on the negative
voltage swing and finally reach an active current limit on
both positive and negative swings.
Precautions should be taken to ensure that the power supply for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards
in a socket as an unlimited current surge through theresult-

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. DC and AC electrical specifications do not apply when operating
the device beyond its specified operating conditions.
Note 2: All voltages are with respect to ground.
Note 3: Unless otherwise specified, the Absolute Minimum Input Voltage is equal to the negative power supply voltage.
Note 4: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures as is dictated by TJMAX, 9JA, and the ambient temperature TA. 9JA for the
LF400H is 150'C/W in free air, so a heat sink will generally be requirad when TA is greater than about 70'C. 9JC for the LF400H is f7'C/W, which dictates the use
of a heat sink with 9CA less than about 3S'C/W when TA = + 125'C.
Note 5: The input bias currents are iunction leakage currents which approximately double for every to'C increase in the junction temperature TJ. Due to limited
production test time,lnput bias currents are measured at TJ = 25°C. In normal operation the junction temperature rises above the ambient temperature as a result
of internal power dissipation Po. Use of a heat sink is recommended when input bias current must be minimized.

Note 6: Typicals represent the most likely parametric norm.
Note 7: Guarantead to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 8: Guaranteed, but not 100% production tested. These limits are not used to calculate outgoing quality levels.

Application Hints
The LF400 is a high-speed, low input bias current Bi-FET
operational amplifier capable of settling to 0.01 % of a 10V
output swing in less than 400 ns. The rugged JFET inputs
allow differential input voltages as high as 32V without a
large increase in input current. However, the inputs should
never be driven to voltages lower than the negative supply,
as this can result in input currents large enough to damage
the device. To prevent this from occurring when power is
first applied, always turn the positive and negative power
supplies on simultaneously, or turn the negative supply on
first.
Exceeding the common-mode input range will not damage
the device as long as the Absolute Maximum Ratings are
not violated, but it will result in a high output voltage. Latching will not occur, however, and when the offending signal is
removed the LF400 will recover quickly.
The nominal power supply voltage is ± 15V, but the LF400
will operate satisfactorily from ± 1OV to ± 16V. The LF400 is
functional down to ±5V, but performance will be degraded.
(See Typical Performance curves.)

input capacitance. Since input capacitance is made up of
several stray capacitances that are difficult to predict, the
compensation capacitor will generally have to be determined empirically for best settling time. A good starting
point is around 10 pF for Av = -1.
Settling time may be verified using a circuit similar to the
one in Figure 1. The LF400 is connected for inverting operation, and the output voltage is summed with the input voltage step. When the LF400's output voltage is equal to the
input voltage, the voltage on the gate of 01 will be zero. Any
voltage appearing at this point will represent an error. The
FET source follower output is observed on an oscilloscope,
and the settling time is equal to the time required for the
error signal displayed on the oscilloscope to decay to less
than one-half the necessary accuracy (see oscilloscope
photos of "Settling Time-Positive Output Swing" and "Settling Time-Negative Output Swing"). For a 10V input signal, settling time to 0.01 % (1 mY) will occur when the displayed error is less than % mY. Since settling time is strongly dependent on slew rate, settling will be faster for smaller
signal swings. The LF400's inverting slew rat!! is faster than
its non-inverting slew rate, so settling will be faster for inverting applications, as well.
It is important to note that the oscilloscope input amplifier
will be overdriven during a settling time measurement, so
the oscilloscope must be capable of recovering from overdrive very quickly. Very few oscilloscopes are suitable for
this sort of measurement. The signal generator used for set-

Settling Time Considerations

The settling performance of any high-speed operational amplifier is highly dependent on the external components and
circuit board layout. Capacitance between the amplifier
summing junction and ground affects the closed-loop transfer function and should be minimized. The compensation
capacitor Cc between the output and the inverting input
should be carefully chosen to counteract the effect of the

tling time testing must be able to drive 50D. with a very clean
± 5V square wave. For more information on measuring settling time, see Application Note AN-428.

Output Drive and Current Limit
The LF400 can drive heavier resistive loads than most operational amplifiers. The output at pin 6 is internally currentlimited when the voltage drop across the 25D. output resistor reaches about 0.55V (lOUT = 22 mAl. When more output current is needed, pin 8 provides a means of increasing
the maximum output current up to about 100 mAo A resistor
may be connected from pin 8 to pin 6, paralleling the internal sense resistor and increasing the current limit threshold
(Figure 3). Pins 6 and 8 may be shorted together to completely bypass the current limiting circuit. To avoid damaging
the LF400, observe the power dissipation limitations mentioned in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and in Note 4.
The effective load impedance (including feedback resistance) should be kept above 500D. for fastest settling. Load
capacitance should also be minimized if good settling time
is to be optimized. Large feedback resistors will make the
circuit more susceptible to stray capacitance, so in highspeed applications keep the feedback resistors in the 1 kD.
to 2 kD. range wherever practical. Avoid the use of inductive
feedback resistors (some wirewounds for example) as these
will degrade settling time.

Output Compensation
When operating at very low temperatures, a compensation
network should be added to the LF400's output. The 100D.!
22 pF network shown on the first page of this data sheet
should be used when the junction temperature might reach
25°C (roughly O°C ambient when the LF400 is "warmed
up"). In applications where the device will be operating with
a junction temperature near O°C, the output RLC network in
Figure 1 should be used. This network will provide a small
(about 20 ns) improvement in settling time at higher temperatures, as well.
Supply Bypassing
Power supply bypassing is extremely important for good
high-speed performance. Ideally, multiple bypass capacitors
as in Figure 2 should be used. A 10 J.LF tantalum, a 2.2 J.LF
ceramic, and a 0.47 J.LF ceramic work well. All bypass capacitor leads should be very short. For best results, the
ground leads of the capacitors should be separated to reduce the inductance to ground. A ground plane layout approach will give the best results. For simplicity, bypass capacitors have been omitted from some of the schematics in
this data sheet, but they should always be used.

Vos Adjustment
Offset voltage can be nulled using a 27k resistor and a 10k
potentiometer connected to pins 1 and 5 as shown in Figure
4a. Bypassing the Vas adjust pins with 0.1 J.LF capaCitors will
help to avoid noise pickup. When not used for offset adjustment, pins 1 and 5 can often be left open, but to minimize
the possibility of noise pickup the unused Vas trim pins
should be connected to ground or V - .

Application Hints

(Continued)
In very critical applications where a manual adjustment is
impractical, the LMC669 Auto Zero circuit may be used to
reduce the effective input offset voltage to around 5 p.V as
in Figure 4b. The LF400 will perform better than slower amplifiers in an auto zero loop, because its fast settling capability keeps its summing node voltage more stable. Therefore,
the LMC669 is able to more accurately sample the summing
node voltage before making an offset correction.

Input Bias Current
The JFET input stage of the LF400 ensures low input bias
current (200 pA maximum) when the die is at room temperature, but this current approximately doubles for every 10·C
increase in temperature. In applications that demand the
lowest possible input bias current, a heat sink should be
used with the LF400. "Press on" heat sinks from manufacturers such as Thermalloy and AAVID can reduce junction
temperature by roughly 1O·C to 40·C.

the device beyond its specified operating conditions.
Note 2: All voltages are with respect to ground.
Note 3: Unless otherwise specified, the Absolute Maximum Negative Input Voltage is equal to the negative power supply voltage.

Note 4: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX. 8JA, and the ambient temperature TA. The maximum
allowable power dissipation at any temperature is Po = (TJMAX - TAl/8JA or 500 mW. whichever is less. 8JA for the LF401 D Is typically S7'C/W.
Note 5: The input bias currents are junction leakage currents which approximately double for every 100C Increase in the junction temperature TJ. Due to limited
production lest lime. input bias currents are measured at TJ = 25'C. In normal operation the junction temperature rises above the ambient temperature as a result
of Internal power dissipation Po. Use of a heat sink is recommended when input bias current must be minimized.

LF411A/LF411 Low Offset, Low Drift
JFET Input Operational Amplifier
General Description

Features

These devices are low cost, high speed, JFET input operational amplifiers with very low input offset voltage and guaranteed input offset voltage drift. They require low supply
current yet maintain a large gain bandwidth product and fast
slew rate. In addition, well matched high voltage JFET input
devices provide very low input bias and offset currents. The
LF411 is pin compatible with the standard LM741 allowing
designers to immediately upgrade the overall performance
of existing designs.
These amplifiers may be used in applications such as high
speed integrators, fast DI A converters, sample and hold
circuits and many other circuits requiring low input offset
voltage and drift, low input bias current, high input impedance, high slew rate and wide bandwidth.

Application Hints
The LF411 series of internally trimmed JFET input op amps
(BI-FET IITM) provide very low input offset voltage and guaranteed input offset voltage drift. These JFETs have large
reverse breakdown voltages from gate to source and drain
eliminating the need for clamps across the inputs. Therefore, large differential input voltages can easily be accommodated without a large increase in input current. The maximum differential input voltage is independent of the supply
voltages. However, neither of the input voltages should be
allowed to exceed the negative supply as this will cause
large currents to flow which can result in a destroyed unit.

Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input
will force the output to a high state, potentially causing a
reversal of phase to the output. Exceeding the negative
common-mode limit on both inputs will force the amplifier
output to a high state. In neither case does a latch occur
since raising the input back within the common-mode range
again puts the input stage and thus the. amplifier in a normal
operating mode.
Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a single input
will not change the phase of the output; however, if both
inputs exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier may be
forced to a high state.
3-80

r-

Application Hints (Continued)
Because these amplifiers are JFET rather than MOSFET
input op amps they do not require special handling.

The amplifier will operate with a common-mode input voltage equal to the positive supply; however, the gain bandwidth and slew rate may be decreased in this condition.
When the negative common-mode voltage swings to within
3V of the negative supply, an increase in input offset voltage
may occur.
The LF411 is biased by a zener reference which allows normal circuit operation on ±4.5V power supplies. Supply voltages less than these may result in lower gain bandwidth and
slew rate.
The LF411 will drive a 2 kO load resistance to ± 1OV over
the full temperature range. If the amplifier is forced to drive
heavier load currents, however, an increase in input offset
voltage may occur on the negative voltage swing and finally
re~ch an active current limit on both positive and negative
sWings.

As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in order to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to an input should be placed with the body close to the
input to minimize "pick-up" and maximize the frequency of
the feedback pole by minimizing the capaCitance from the
input to ground.
A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to AC ground set the frequency of the pole. In many
instances the frequency of this pole is much greater .than
the expected 3 dB frequency of the closed loop gain and
consequently there is negligible effect on stability margin.
~owever, if the feedback pole is less than approximately 6
times the expected 3 dB frequency, a lead capacitor should
be placed from the output to the input of the op amp. The
value of the added capaCitor should be such that the RC
time constant of this capacitor and the resistance it parallels
is greater than or equal to the original feedback pole time
constant.

Precautions should be taken to ensure that the power supply for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards
in a socket as an unlimited current surge through the resulting forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of the
internal conductors and result in a destroyed unit.

Note I: Unless otherwise specified the absolute maximum negative Input voltage Is equal to the negative power supply voltage.
Note 2: Any of the amplifier outputs can be shorted to ground Indefintely, however, more than one should not be simultaneously shorted as the maximum junction
temperature will be exceeded.
Note 3: For operating at elevated temperature, these devices must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 8jA'
Note 4: These devices are available In both the commercial temperature range crC,;TA,;70'C and the military temperature range -SS'C,;TA,;12S'C. The
temperature range Is designated by the position just before the package type in the device number. A "C" indicates the commercial temperature range and an "M"
indicates the military temperature range. The military temperature range is available in "H" package only. In all cases the maximum operating temperature Is limited
by intemal junction temperature Tj max.
Note 5: Unless otherwise specified, the specifications apply over the full temperature range and for Vs= ±20V for the LF412A and for Vs= ±lSV for the LF412.
VOS, IB' and los are measured at VCM = O.
Note 6: The LF412A is 100% tested to this specification. The LF4121s sample tested on a per amplifier basis to Insure at least 85% of the amplifiers meet this
specification.
Note 7: The input bias currents are junction leakage currents which approximately double for every 10'C increase in the junction temperature, Tj. Due to limited
production test time, the Input bias currents measured are correlated to junction temperature. In normal operation the junction temperature rises above the ambient
temperature as a result of Intemal power dissipation, Po. Tj = TA+ 8jA Po where 8jA is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient. Use of a heat sink is
recommended If Input bias current Is to be kept to a minimum.
Note 8: Supply voltage rejection ratio is measured for both supply magnitudes Increasing or decreasing simultaneously In accordance with common practice.
Vs = ±6V to ± ISV.
Note 9: Refer to RETS412AX for LF412AMH military specifications and to RETS412X for LF412MH military specifications.
Note 10: Max. Power Dissipation Is defined by the package characteristics. Operating the part near the Max. Power Dissipation may cause the part to operate
outside guaranteed limits.

Application Hints
The LF412 series of JFET input dual op amps are internally
trimmed (BI-FET IITM) providing very low input offset voltages and guaranteed input offset voltage drift. These JFETs
have large reverse breakdown voltages from gate to source
and drain eliminating the need for clamps across the inputs.
Therefore, large differential input voltages can easily be accommodated without a large increase in input current. The
maximum differential input voltage is independent of the
supply voltages. However, neither of the input voltages
should be allowed to exceed the negative supply as this will
cause large currents to flow which can result in a destroyed
unit.

Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on both inputs
will force the amplifier output to a high state. In neither case
does a latch occur since raising the input back within the
common-mode range again puts the input stage and thus
the amplifier in a normal operating mode.
Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a single input
will not change the phase of the output, however, if both
inputs exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier may be
forced to a high state.
The amplifiers will operate with a common-mode input voltage equal to the positive supply; however, the gain bandwidth and slew rate may be decreased in this condition.
When the negative common-mode voltage swings to within
3V of the negative supply, an increase in input offset voltage
may occur.

Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input
will cause a reversal of the phase to the output and force
the amplifier output to the corresponding high or low state.

Application Hints (Continued)
As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in order to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to an input should be placed with the body close to the
input to minimize "pick-up" and maximize the frequency of
the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from the
Input to ground.

Each amplifier is individually biased by a zener reference
which allows normal circuit operation on ±6.0V power supplies. Supply voltages less than these may result in lower
gain bandwidth and slew rate.
The amplifiers will drive a 2 kO load resistance to ± 1OV
over the full temperature range. If the amplifier is forced to
drive heavier load currents, however, an increase in input
offset voltage may occur on the negative voltage swing and
finally reach an active current limit on both positive and negative swings.

A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to AC ground set the frequency of the pole. In many
instances the frequency of this pole is much greater than
the expected 3 dB frequehcy of the closed loop gain and
consequently there is negligible effect on stability margin.
However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately 6
times the expected 3 dB frequency a lead capacitor should
be placed from the output to the input of the op amp. The
value of the added capacitor should be such that the RC
time constant of this capacitor and the resistance it parallels
is greater than or equal to the original· feedback pole time
constant:

Precautions should be taken to ensure that the power supply for the Integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards
in a socket as an unlimited current surge through the resulting forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of the
internal conductors and result in a destroyed unit.
Because these amplifiers are JFET rather than MOSFET
input op amps they do not require special handling.

LF441A/LF441 Low Power JFET
Input Operational Amplifier

General Description
The LF441 Al441 low power operational amplifier provides
many of the same AC characteristics as the industry standard LM741 while greatly improving the DC characteristics
of the LM741. The amplifier has the same bandwidth, slew
rate, and gain (10 kO load) as the LM741 and only draws
one tenth the supply current of the LM741. In addition, the
well matched high voltage JFET input devices of the
LF441 Al441 reduce the input bias and offset currents by a
factor of 10,000 over the LM741. A combination of careful
layout design and internal trimming guarantees very low input offset voltage and voltage drift. The LF441 Al441 also
has a very low equivalent input noise voltage for a low power amplifier.
The LF441 Al441 is pin compatible with the LM741 , allowing
an immediate 10 times reduction in power drain in many
applications. The LF441 Al441 should be used where low

power dissipation and good electrical characteristics are the
major considerations.

Note 1: Unless otherwise specified the absolute maximum negative input voltage is equal to the negative power supply voltage.
Note 2: For operating at elevated temperature, these devices must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 8JA.

Nole 3: The LF441A is available In both the commercial temperature range O'C ,;; TA ,;; 70"C and the military temperature range -55'C ,;; TA ,;; 125'C. The
LF441 Al441 is available In the commercial temperature range only. The temperature range is designated by the position just before the package type in the device
number. A "e" indicates the commercial temperature range and an "M" indicates the military temperature range. The military temperature range is available in "H"
package only.
Note 4: Unless otherwise specified the specifications apply over the fulltemperalure range and forVs

~

±20V for the LF441A and for Vs

~

± 15V for the LF441.

Note 5: The LF441A is 100% tested to this specffication.
Nole 6: The Input bias currents are junction leakage currents which approximately double for every 10"C increase in the junction temperature, Tj. Due to limited
production test time, the input bias currents measured are correlated to junction temperature. In normal operation the junction temperature rises above the ambient
temperature as a result of internal power dissipation, Po: Tj = TA + 9jA Po where 9jA is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient: Use of a heat sink is
recommended if input bias current is to be kept to a minimum.
Note 7: Supply voltage rejection ratio is measured for both supply magnitudes increasing or decreasing simultaneously in accordance with common practice. From

± 15V to ± 5V for the LF441 and from ± 20V to ± 5V for the LF441 A.
Note 8: Refer to RETS441AX for LF44IAMH milHary specifications.
Note 9: Max. Power Dissipation is defined by the package characteristics. Operating the part near the Max. Power Dissipatio~ may cause the part to operate

Application Hints
The amplifier will drive a 10 kO load resistance to ± 10V
over the full temperature range.

This device is a low power op amp with an internally
trimmed input offset voltage and JFET Input devices
(BI-FET II). These JFETs have large reverse breakdown
voltages from gate to source and drain, eliminating the need
for clamps across the inputs. Therefore, large differential
input voltages can easily be accominodated without a large
increase in input current. The maximum differential input
voltage is independent of the supply voltages. However, neither of the Input voltages should be allowed to exceed the
negative supply as this will cause large currents to flow
which can result in a destroyed unit.

Precautions should be taken to ensure that the power supply for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards
in a socket, as an unlimited current surge through the resulting forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of the
intemal conductors and result in a destroyed unit.
, Because this amplifier is a JFET rather than MOSFET input
op amp it does not require special handling.
As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in order to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to an input should be placed with the body close to the
input to minimize "pick-up" and maximize the frequency of
the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from the
input to ground.
A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance from the input of the device (usually the inverting input
to AC ground) set the frequency of this pole. In many instances the frequency of this pole is much greater than the
expected 3 dB frequency, of the closed loop gain and consequently there is negligible effect on stability margin. However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately 6 times
the expected 3 dB frequency, a lead capacitor should be
placed from the output to the input of the op amp. The value
of the added capacitor should be such that the RC time
constant of this capaCitor and the resistance it parallels is
greater than or equal to the original feedback pole time constant.

Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input
will force the output to a high state, potentially causing a
reversal of phase to the output; Exceeding the negative
common-mode limit on both inputs, will force the amplifier
output to a high state. In neither case does a latch occur
since raising the input back within the common-mode range
again puts the input stage and thus the amplifier in a normal
operating mode.
Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a single input
will not change the phase of the output; however, if both
inputs exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier will be
forced to a high state.
The amplifier will operate with a common-mode input voltage equal to the positive supply; however, the gain bandwidth and slew rate may be decreased in this condition.
When the negative common-mode voltage swings to within
3V of the negative supply, an increase in input offset voltage
may occur.
The amplifier is biased to allow normal circuit operation with
power supplies of ±3V. Supply voltages less than these
may degrade the common-mode rejection and restrict the
output voltage swing.

The LF442 dual low power operational amplifiers provide
many of the same AC characteristics as the industry standard LM1458 while greatly improving the DC characteristics
of the LM1458. The amplifiers have the same bandwidth,
slew rate, and gain (10 kO load) as the LM1458 and only
draw one tenth the supply current of the LM1458. In addition the well matched high voltage JFET input devices of the
LF442 reduce the input bias and offset currents by a factor
of 10,000 over the LM1458. A combination of careful layout
design and internal trimming guarantees very low input offset voltage and voltage drift. The LF442 also has a very low
equivalent input noise voltage for a low power amplifier.

Note 3: The value given is in 400 linear feeUmin air flow.
Note 4: The value given Is in static air.
Note 5: These devices are available in both the commercial temperature range O'C ,; TA ,; 70'C and the military temperature range - 55"'C ,; TA ,; 125·C. The
temperature range is designated by the position Just befons the package type in the device number. A '"C'" Indicates the commercial temperature range and an '"M'"
Indicates the military temperature range. The military temperature range Is available In '"H'" package only.
Note 6: Unless otherwise specified, the specifications apply over the full temperature range and for Vs = ± 20V for the lF442A and for Vs = ± 15V for the lF442.
Vos, IB' and los are measured at VCM = O.
Note 7: The input bias currents are junction leakage currents which approximately double for every 10'C increase in the Junction temperature, TI' Due to limited
production test time, the input bias currents measured are correlated to junction temperature. In normal operallon the Junction temperature nses above the ambient
temperature as a result of internal power dissipation, Po. TI = TA + 81APO where 81A Is the thermal resistance from Junction to ambient. Use of a heat sink Is
recommended If Input bias current is to be kept to a minimum.

Application Hints
The amplifiers will drive a 10 kO load resistance to ± 10V
over the full temperature range.

This device is a dual low power op amp with internally
trimmed input offset voltages and JFET input devices
(BI-FET II). These JFETs have large reverse breakdown
voltages from gate to source and drain eliminating the need
for clamps across the inputs. Therefore, large differential
input voltages can easily be accommodated without a large
increase in input current. The maximum differential input
voltage is independent of the supply voltages. However, neither of the input voltages should be allowed to exceed the
negative supply as this will cause large currents to flow
which can result in a destroyed unit.
Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input
will force the output to a high state, potentially causing a
reversal of phase to the output. Exceeding the negative
common-mode limit on both inputs will force the amplifier
output to a high state. In neither case does a latch occur
since raising the input back within the common-mode range
again puts the input stage and thus the amplifier in a normal
operating mode.
Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a single input
will not change the phase of the output; however, if both
inputs exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier will be
forced to a high state.

Precautions should be taken to ensure that the power supply for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards
in a socket as an unlimited current surge through the resulting forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of the
internal conductors and result in a destroyed unit.
Because these amplifiers are JFET rather than MOSFET
input op amps they do not require special handling.
As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in order to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to an input should be placed with the body close to the
input to minimize "pick-up" and maximize the frequency of
the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from the
input to ground.
A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to AC ground set the frequency of the pole. In many
instances the frequency of this pole is much greater than
the expected 3 dB frequency of the closed loop gain and
consequenty there is negligible effect on stability margin.
However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately 6
times the expected 3 dB frequency a lead capacitor should
be placed from the output to the input of the op amp. The
value of the added capacitor should be such that the RC
time constant of this capaCitor and the resistance it parallels
is greater than or equal to the original feedback pole time
constant.

The amplifiers will operate with a common-mode input voltage equal to the positive supply; however, the gain bandwidth and slew rate may be decreased in this condition.
When the negative common-mode voltage swings to within
3V of the negative supply, an increase in input offset voltage
may occur.
Each amplifier is individually biased to allow normal circuit
operation with power supplies of ± 3.0V. Supply voltages
less than these may degrade the common-mode rejection
and restrict the output voltage SWing.

LF444A/LF444 Quad Low Power JFET
Input Operational Amplifier
General Description

Features

The LF444 quad low power operational amplifier provides
many of the same AC characteristics as the industry standard LM148 while greatly improving the DC characteristics
of the LM148. The amplifi.er has the same bandwidth, slew
rate, and gain (10 kO load) as the LM148 and only draws
one fourth the supply current of the LM148. In addition the
well matched high voltage JFET input devices of the LF444
reduce the input bias and offset currents by a factor of
10,000 over the LM148. The LF444 also has a very low
equivalent input noise voltage for a low power amplifier.
The LF444 is pin compatible with the LM148 allowing an
immediate 4 times reduction in power drain in many applications. The LF444 should be used wherever low power dissipation and good electrical characteristics are the major considerations.

Note 1: Unless otherwise specified the absolute maximum negative input voltage is equal to the negative power supply Yoltage.

Note 2: Any of the amplifier outputs can be shorted to ground indefinitely. however. more than one should not be simultaneously shorted as the maximum iunction
temperature will be exceeded.
Note 3: For operating at elevated temperature. these devices must be derated based on a thermal resistance of OjA.

s:

TA

s:

125°C. The

LF444 is available in the commercial temperature range only. The temperature range is designated by the position just before the package type in the device
number. A "C" indicates the commercial temperature range and an "M" indicates the military temperature range. The military temperature range is available in "0"

package only.
Note 5: Unless otherwise specified the specifications apply over the full temperature range and for Vs = ± 20V for the LF444A and for Vs = ± 15V for the LF444:
Vos. lB. and fos are measured at VCM = O.
Note 6: The input bias currents are junction leakage currents which approximately double for every 10°C increase in the junction temperature, Tj. Due to limited
production test time, the input bias currents measured are correlated to junction temperature. In normal operation the junction temperature rises above the ambient
temperature as a result of internal power dissipation, PD. Tj = T A + 6jAPO where OjA is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient. Use of a heat sink is
recommended if input bias current is to be kept to a minimum.
Note 7: Supply voltage rejection ratio Is measured for both supply magnitudes increasing or decreasing simultaneously in accordance with common practice from

± 15V to ± 5V for the LF444 and from ± 20V to ± 5V for the LF444A.
Note 8: Refer to RETS444AX for LF444AMD military specifications.
Note 9: Max. Power Dissipation is defined by the package characteristics. Operating the part near the Max. Power Dissipation may cause the part to operate
outside guaranteed limits.

Application Hints
The amplifiers will drive a 10 kO load resistance to ± 10V
over the full temperature range. If the amplifier is forced to
drive heavier load currents, however, an increase in input
offset voltage may occur on the negative voltage swing and
finally reach an active current limit on both positive and negative swings.
Precautions should be taken to ensure that the power supply for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity or that the unit is not Inadvertently installed backwards
In a socket as an unlimited current surge through the resulting forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of the
internal conductors and result in a destroyed unit.
Because these amplifiers are JFET rather than MOSFET
input op amps they do not require special handling.

This device is a quad low power op amp with JFET input
devices (BI-FETTM). These JFETs have large reverse breakdown voltages from gate to source and drain eliminating the
need for clamps across the inputs. Therefore, large differential input voltages can easily be accommodated without a
large Increase in input current. The maximum differential input voltage is independent of the supply voltages. However,
neither of the input voltages should be allowed to exceed
the negative supply as this will cause large currents to flow
which can result in a destroyed unit.
Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input
will force the output to a high state, potentially causing a
reversal of phase to the output. Exceeding the negative
common-mode limit on both inputs will force the amplifier
output to a high state. In neither case does a latch occur
since raising the input back within the common-mode range
again puts the input stage and thus the amplifier in a normal
operating mode.
Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a single input
will not change the phase of the output; however, if both
inputs exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier will be
forced to a high state.
The amplifiers will operate with a common-mode input voltage equal to the positive supply; however, the gain bandwidth and slew rate may be decreased in this condition.
When the negative common-mode voltage swings to within
3V of the negative supply, an increase in input offset voltage
may occur.
Each amplifier is individually biased to allow normal circuit
operation with power supplies of ± 3.0V. Supply voltages
less than these may degrade the common-mode rejection
and restrict the output voltage swing.

As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in order to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to an input should be placed with the body close to the
input to minimize "pick-up" and maximize the frequency of
the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from the
input to ground.
A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to AC ground set the frequency of the pole. In many
instances the frequency of this pole is much greater than
the expected 3 dB frequency of the closed loop gain and
consequently there is negligible effect on stability margin.
However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately 6
times the expected 3 dB frequency a lead capacitor should
be placed from the output to the input of the op amp. The
value of the added capacitor should be such that the RC
time constant of this capacitor and the resistance it parallels
is greater than or equal to the original feedback pole time
constant.

lF451 Wide-Bandwidth
JFET-Input Operational Amplifier
General Description

Features

The LF451 is a low-cost high-speed JFET-input operational
amplifier with an internally trimmed input offset voltage (BIFET IITM technology). The device requires a low supply current and yet maintains a large gain bandwidth product and a
fast slew rate. In addition, well matched high voltage JFET
input devices provide very low input bias and offset currents. The LF451 is pin compatible with the standard
LM741, allowing designers to upgrade the overall performance of existing designs.
The LF451 may be used in such applications as high-speed
integrators, fast 01 A converters, sample-and-hold circuits
and many other circuits requiring low input bias current, high
input impedance, high slew rate and wide bandwidth.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. DC and AC electrical specifications do not apply when operating
the device beyond its specified operating ratings.
Note 2: When the input voltage exceeds the power supplies, the current should be limited to 1

rnA.

Note 3: The maximum pow~n dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJ MAX, 0JA and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum
allowable power dissipation at any temperature is Po = (TJ MAX - TA)/8JA or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For
guaranteed operation TJ max = 125'C. The typical thermal resistance (OJAJ of the LF451CM when board-mounted is 170'C/W.

Note 4: Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kG resistor.
Note 5: See AN-450 "Surface Mounting Methods and Their Effect on Product Reliability" (Appendix OJ for other methods of soldering surface mount devices.
Hate 6: Typicals are at TJ = 25°C and represent most likely parametric norm.

3-114

Nole 7: Tested limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Nole 8: Design limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL, but not 100% tested.
Nole 9: The Input bias currents are Junction leakage currents which approximately double for every 10'C Increase In the Junction temperature TJ. Due to limited
production test time, the Input bias currents are correlated to Junction temperature. In normal operation the Junction temperature rises above the ambient
temperature as a result of Internal power dissipation. Po. TJ = TA + 6JAPO where 6JA Is the thermal resistance from Junction to ambient.
Nole 10: Vos, Ie, AVOL. and lOS are measured at VCM = OV.
Note 11: Supply voltage rejection ratio Is measured for both supply magnitudes Increasing or decreasing simultaneously in accordance with common practice.

Application Hints
The LF451CM is an op amp with an internally trimmed input
offset voltage and JFET input devices (BI-FET II). These
JFETs have large reverse breakdown voltages from gate to
source and drain eliminating the need for clamps across the
inputs. Therefore, large differential input voltages can easily
be accommodated without a large increase in input current.
The maximum differential input voltage is independent of
the supply voltages. However, neither of the input voltages
should be allowed to exceed the negative supply as this will

cause large currents to flow which can result in a destroyed
unit.
Exceeding the negative common-mode limit with the non-inverting input, or with both inputs, will force the output to a
high state,' potentially causing a reversal of phase to the
output.
In neither case does a latch occur since raising the input
back within the common-mode range again puts the input
stage and thus the amplifier in a normal operating mode.

Application Hints (Continued)
Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a single input
will not change the phase of the output; however, if both
inputs exceed the limit, tlie output of the amplifier will be
forced to a high state.
The amplifier will operate with a common-mode input voltage equal to the positive supply; however, the gain bandwidth and slew rate may be decreased in this condition.
When the negative common-mode voltage swings to within
3V of the negative supply, an increase in input offset voltage
may occur.

put to an input should be placed with the body close to the
input to minimize "pick-up" and maximize the frequency of
the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from the
.
input to ground.
A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to AC ground set the frequency of the pole. In many
instances the frequency of this pole is much greater than
the expected 3 dB frequency of the closed loop gain and
consequently there is negligible effect on stability margin.
However, if the feedback pole is less than IIPproximately 6
times the expected 3 dB frequency a lead capacitor should
be placed from the output to the input of the op amp. The
value of the added capacitor should be such that the RC
time constant of this capacitor and the resistance it parallels
is greater than or equal to the original feedback pole time
constant.
The benefit of the S.O. package results from its very small
size. It follows, however, that the die inside the S.O. package is less protected from external physical forces than a
die in a standard DIP would be, because there is so much
less plastic in the S.O. Therefore, not following certain precautions when board mounting the LF451 CM can put mechanical stress on the die; lead frame, and/or bond wires.
This can cause shifts in the LF451CM's parameters, even
causing them to exceed limits specified in the Electrical
Characteristics. For recommended practices in LF451 CM
surface mounting refer to Application Nqte AN-450 "Surface Mounting Methods and Their Effect on Product Reliability" and to Section 6 "Surface Mount" found in any
Rev. 1 Linear Databook volume.

The LF451 is biased by a zener reference which allows normal circuit operation on ± 4V power supplies. Supply voltages less than these may result in lower gain bandwidth and
slew rate.
The LF451 will drive a 2 kO load resistance to ± 10V over
the full temperature range of O"C to + 70·C. If the amplifier
is forced to drive heavier load currents, however, an increase in input offset voltage may occur on the negative
voltage swing and finally reach an active current limit on
both positive and negative swings.
Precautions should be taken to ensure that tt19 power supply for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards
in a socket as an unlimited current surge through the resulting forward diode wit~in the IC could cause fusing of the
internal conductors and result in a destroYEid unit.
Because these amplifiers are JFET rather than MOSFET
input op anips they are more resistant to ESD (see Absolute
Maximum' Ratings).
As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in order to ensure·stability. For example, resistors from the out-

LF453 Wide-Bandwidth Dual
JFET-Input Operational Amplifiers
General Description

Features

The LF453 is a low-cost, high-speed, dual JFET-input operational amplifier with an internally trimmed input offset voltage (BI-FET II technology). The device requires a low supply
current and yet the amplifiers maintain a large gain bandwidth product and a fast slew rate. In addition, well matched
high voltage JFET input devices provide very low input bias
and offset currents. The LF453 is pin compatible with the
standard LM1558, allowing designers to upgrade the overall
performance of existing deSigns.
The LF453 may be used in such applications as high-speed
integrators, fast 01 A converters, sample-and-hold circuits
and many other circuits requiring low input bias current, high
input impedance, high slew rate and wide bandwidth.

LF13741
Monolithic JFET Input Operational Amplifier
General Description
The LF13741 is a 741 with BI-FETTM input followers on the
same die. Familiar operating characteristics-those of a
741-with the added advantage of low input bias current
make the LF13741 easy to use. Monolithic fabrication
makes this "drop-in-replacement" operational amplifier very
economical.
Applications in which the LF13741 excels are those which
require low bias current, moderate speed and low cost. A
few examples include high impedance transducer amplifiers, photocell amplifiers, buffers for high impedance, slow to
moderate speed sources and buffers in sample-and-hold
type systems where leakage from the hold capacitor node
must be kept to a minimum.
Systems designers can take full advantage of their knowledge of the 741 when designing with the LF13741 to
achieve extremely rapid "design times." The LF13741 can
also be used in existing sockets to make the "error budget"
for input bias and/or offset currents negligible and in many
cases eliminate trimming. For higher speed and lower noise
use the LF155, LF156, LF157 series of BI-FET operational
amplifiers.

• Low input noise current

production test time, the input bias currents measured are correlated to junction temperature. In normal operation the junction temperature rises above the ambient
temperature as a result of internal power dissipation, Po. TJ = TA + 8jA Po where 8jA is the thermal resistance from junction to ambJent. Use of a heat sink Js

recommended if input bias current is to be kept to a minimum.

Application Hints
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The LF13741 makes the job of converting from a bipolar to
an FET Input op amp easy. As a systems designer you are
probably very familiar with the operating characteristics of a
741 op amp. In fact, many of you have used 741s with FET
input followers-that's just what the LF13741 is, but it's all
on a single die.
When you need a low cost, reliable, well known op amp with
low input currents and moderate speed, use an LF13741.

If you take only one of the Inputs of the LF13741 Into the
first range, the output phase will remain correct. When you
take both inputs into this range the output will go toward the
positive supply voltage.
If you force either or both of the inputs into the second
range, an internal diode will be turned "ON." Unless you
externally limit the diode current to about 1 mA, the device
will be destroyed. In either case, limited or unlimited input
current, you cannot predict the output.

DIFFERENTIAL INPUTS
You don't have to use clamps across the inputs for dlfferentiallnput voltages of less than 40V. The Input JFETs of the
LF13741, in addition to being well matched, have large reverse breakdown voltages from gate to source and drain.

HANDLING
You do not have to take any special precautions In handling
the LF13741. It has JFET, as opposed to fragile MOSFET,
inputs.

POSITIVE INPUT COMMON-MODE
VOLTAGE LIMIT
With the LF13741 (unlike the normal 741) you can take both
inputs above the positive supply voltage by more than 0.1 V
before the amplifier ceases to function. This feature enables
you to use the LF13741 to monitor and/or limit the current
from the same supply used to power it (see typical applications).
If you exceed the positive common-mode voltage limit on
only one Input, the output phase will remain correct. When
you exceed the limit on both inputs, the output phase is
unpredictable.

APPLYING POWER
You should never: reverse the power supplies to the
LF13741; plug a part in backwards in a powered socket or
board; make the negative supply voltage more positive than
an Input voltage.
Anyone of these supply conditions will forward bias an Internal diode. If you have not externally limited the resulting
current, the device will be destroyed.
LAYOUT
To ensure stability of response you should take care with
lead dress, component placement and power supply decoupiing. For example, the body of feedback resistors (from
output to Input pins) should be placed close to the inverting
input pin. Noise "pickup" and capaCitance to ground from
the input pin will be minimized-effects which are usually
desirable.
Because of the very low Input bias currents of the LF13741,
speCial care should be taken in printed circuit board layouts
to prevent unnecessary leakage from the input nodes, (see
Typical Applications).

NEGATIVE INPUT COMMON-MODE
VOLTAGE LIMIT
There are two negative input voltage ranges of interest:
1. The range between the negative common-mode voltage
limit and the negative supply voltage.
2. Voltages which are more negative than the negative supply voltage.

Application Hints (Continued)
FEEDBACK POLE
You create a feedback pole when you place resistive feedback around an amplifier. The parallel resistance and capacitance from the input of the device (usually the inverting
input) to AC ground set the frequency of the pole. In many
instances the frequency of this· pole is much greater than
the expected 3 dB frequency of the closed loop gain and
there is negligible effect on stability margin. However, if the
feedback pole is less than approximately six times the expected 3 dB frequency (a distinct possibility when using FET
op amps), you should place a lead capaCitor from the output
to the input of the op amp. The value of the added capaCitor
should be such that the RC time constant of this capacitor
and the resistance it parallels is greater than or. equal to the
original feedback pole time constant (Figure 1).

R2

VTUH/9296-9
Parasitic Input capacitance CI '" (3 pF for LFI3741 plus any addnlonal

General Description
The LH0021/LH0021C and LH0041/LH0041C are general
purpose operational amplifiers capable of delivering large
output currents not usually associated with conventional IC
Op Amps. The LH0021 wil provide output currents in excess
of one ampere at voltage levels of ± 12V; the LH0041 delivers currents of 200 rnA at voltage levels closely approaching the available power supplies. In addition, both the inputs
and outputs are protected against overload. The devices
are compensated with a single external capaCitor and are
free of any unusual oscillation or latch-up problems.

The LH0022/LH0042/LH0052 are a family of FET input operational amplifiers with very closely matched input characteristics, very high input impedance, and ultra-low input currents with no compromise in noise, common mode rejection
ratio, open loop gain, or slew rate. The internally laser nulled
LH0052 offers 500 J.LV maximum offset and 2 J.LVI'C offset
drift. Input offset current is less than 500 femtoamps at
room temperature and 500 pA maximum at 125'C. The
LH0022 and LH0042 are not internally nulled but offer comparable matching characteristics. All devices in the family
are internally compensated and are free of latch-up and unusual oscillation problems. The devices may be offset nulled
with a single 10k trimpot with negligible effect in CMRR.
The LH0022, LH0042 and LH0052 are specified for operation over the - 55'C to + 125'C military temperature range.
The LH0022C, LH0042C and LH0052C are specified for operation over the -25'C to +85'C temperature range.
The LH0022/LH0042/LH0052 family of IC op amps are intended to fulfill a wide variety of applications for process
control, medical instrumentation, and other systems requiring very low input currents and tightly matched input offsets.
The LH0052 is particularly suited for long term high

accuracy integrators and high accuracy sample and hold
buffer amplifiers. The LH0022 and LH0042 provide low cost
high performance for such applications as electrometer and
photocell amplification, pi co-ammeters, and high input impedance buffers.
Special electrical parameter selection is available on special
request.
For additional application information and information on
other National operational amplifiers, see Available Linear
Applications Literature.

Note 1: For supply voltsges less than ± 15V. the absolute maximum input voltsge Is equal to the supply voltsge.
Note 2: Rating applies for minimum source resistsnce of 10 kil. for source resistsnces less than 10 kil. maximum differential input voltage is ± SV.
Note 3: UnlessotherwisespecHied,thesespeclficationsapplyfor ±SV,;; Vs';; +20Vand -SS'C,;; TA';; + 12S'C for the LH0022/42/52 and -25"C';; TA';;
+ 85'C for the LH0022C/42C/S2C. Typical values are given for TA = 2S'C.
Note 4: Input currents are a strong function of temperature. Due to high speed testing they are specified at a junction temperature TJ = 2S'C. SeH heating will
cause an increase in current in manual tests. 25°C spec is guaranteed by testing at 125°C.

Applications Information
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS

quire adjustment in order to perfectly cancel the input capacitance of the device.

The LH0024/LH0024C, like most high speed circuitry, is
sensitive to layout and stray capacitance. Power supplies
should be by-passed as near the device as is practicable
with at least 0.01 I£F disc type capacitors. Compensating
capacitors should also be placed as close to device as possible.

When operating the LH0024/LH0024C at a gain of
the value of R1 should be at least 1 kn.

+ 1,

The case of the LH0024 is electrically isolated from the circuit; hence, it may be advantageous to drive the case in
order to minimize stray capacitances.

COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATIONS

HEAT SINKING

Compensation schemes recommended in Table 1 work well
under typical conditions. However, poor layout and long
lead lengths can degrade the performance of the LH0024 or
cause the device to oscillate. Slight adjustments in the values for Cl, C2, and C3 may be necessary for a given layout.
In particular, when operating at a gain of -1, C3 may re-

The LH0024/LH0024C is specified for operation without the
use of an explicit heat sink. However, internal power dissipation does cause a significant temperature rise. Improved
offset voltage drift can be obtained by limiting the temperature rise with a clip-on heat sink such as the Thermalloy
2228B or equivalent.

Note 2. LH0032AG/G are 100% production tested as specified at 25'C, 125'C, and -55'C. LH0032ACG/CG are 100% production tested at 25'C only.
Specifications at temperature extremes are verified by sample testing, but these limits are not used to calculate outgoing quality level.
Note 3. Specffication is at 25'C junction temperature due to requirements of high-speed automatic testing. Actual values at operating temperature will exceed the
value at TJ ~ 25 C. When supply voltage. are ± 15V, no·load operating junction temperature may rise 40-60'C above ambient, and more under load conditions.
Accordingly, Vos may change one to several mV, and 18 and los will change significantly during warm-up. Refer to 18 and los vs. temperature graph for expected
Note 1. In order to limit maximum junction temperature to + 175°C, it may be necessary to operate with VS

values.

Note 4. LH0032AG/G are 100% production tested for this parameter. LH0032ACG/CG are sample tested only. Limits are not used to calculate outgoing quality
levels. I!Nosl AT is the average value calculated from measurements at 25'C and TMAX.
Note 5. Measured in still air 7 minutes after application of power. Guaranteed thru correlated automatic pulse testing.

Note 6. Guaranteed thru correlated automatic pulse testing at TJ ~ 25'C.
Note 7. Not 100% production tested; verified by sample testing only. Limits are not used to calculate outgoing quality level.

Applications Information
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING

INPUT CURRENT
Because the input dJvices are FETs, the input bias current
may be expected to double for each 11°C junction temperature rise. This characteristic is plotted in the typical performance characteristics graphs. The device will self-heat due to
internal power dissipation after application of power thus
raising the FET junction temperature 40-600C above freeair ambient temperature when supplies are ± 15V. The de-

The LH0032/LH0032A, like most high speed circuits, is sensitive to layout and stray capacitance. Power supplies
should be by passed as near to pins 10 and 12 as practicable with low inductance capacitors such as 0.01 J.LF disc
ceramics. Compensation components should also be
located close to the appropriate pins to minimize stray
reactances.

vice temperature will stabilize within 5-10 minutes after application of power, and the input bias currents measured at
that time will be indicative of normal operating currents. An
additional rise would occur as power is delivered to a load
due to additional internal power dissipation.

strongly dependent on layout and closed loop gain, but will
typically be in the neighborhood of several picofarads.
In the non-inverting configuration, it may be advantageous
to bootstrap the case and/or a guard conductor to the inverting input. This serves both to divert leakage currents
away from the non-inverting input and to reduce the effective input capaCitance. A unity gain follower so treated will
have an input capacitance under a picofarad.

There is an additional effect on input bias current as the
input voltage is changed. The effect, common to all FETs, is
an avalanche-like increase in gate current as the FET gateto-drain voltage is increased above a critical value depending on FET geometry and doping levels. This effect will be
noted as the input voltage of the LH0032 is taken below
ground potential when the supplies are ± 15V. All of the
effects described here may be minimized by operating the
device with Vs"; ±15V.

HEAT SINKING
While the LH0032/LH0032A is specified for operation without any explicit heat sink, internal power dissipation does
cause a significant temperature rise. Improved bias current
performance can thus be obtained by limiting this temperature rise with a small heat sink such as the Thermalloy No.
2241 or equivalent. The case of the device has no internal
connection, so it may be electrically connected to the sink if
this is advantageous. Be aware, however, that this will affect
the stray capaCitances to all pins and may thus require adjustment of circuit compensation values.

These effects are indicated in the typical performance
curves.

INPUT CAPACITANCE
The input capacitance to the LH0032/LH0032C is typically
5pF and thus may form a significant time constant with high
value resistors. For optimum performance, the input capacitance to the inverting input should be compensated by a
small capacitor across the feedback resistor. The value is

LH0044 Series Precision Low Noise
Operational Amplifiers
General Description
The LH0044 Series is a low noise, ultra-stable, high gain,
precision operational amplifier family intended to replace either chopper-stabilized monolithic or modular amplifiers.
The devices are particularly suited for differential mode, inverting, and non-inverting mode applications requiring very
low initial offset, low offset drift, very high gain, high CMRR,
and high PSRR. In addition, the LH0044 Series' low initial
offset and offset drift eliminate costly and time consuming
null adjustments at the systems level. The superior performance afforded by the LH0044 Series is made possible by
advanced processing and testing techniques, as well as active laser trim of critical metal film resistors to minimize offset voltage and drift. Unique construction eliminates thermal
feedback effects.

fers. The LH0044 is guaranteed over the temperature range
of - 55'C to + 125'C, and the LH0044AC, LH0044B, and
LH0044C are guaranteed from - 25'C to + B5'C. The device is available in standard TO-5 op amp pin out and is
compatible with LM10BA, LM725, and LM741 type amplifiers.

LOW DRIFT CONSIDERATIONS

COMPENSATION

Achieving ultra-low drift in practical applications requires
strict attention to board layout, thermocouple effects, and
input guarding. For specific recommendations refer to
AN-63 and AN-79.

For closed loop gains in excess of 10, no external components are required for frequency stability. However, for gains
of 10 or less, a 0.01,...F disc capacitor is recommended between pin 7 (V+) and pin 8 (Comp). An improvement in ac
PSRR will also be realized by use of the 0.01,...F capacitor.

A point worth stressing with regard to low drift specifications
is testing of the LH0044. Simply stated-it is virtually impossible to test the device using a thermoprobe or other form of
local heating. A one degree centigrade temperature gradient can account for tens of microvolts of virtual offset (or
drift). The test circuit of Figure 1 is recommended for use in
a stabilized oven or continuously stirred oil bath with the
entire circuit inside the oven or bath. Isothermal layout of
the resistors is advised in order to minimize thermocouple
induced EMF's.

OFFSET NULL
In general, further nulling of LH0044 is neither necessary
nor recommended. For most applications the specified initial offset is sufficient.
However, for those applications requiring additional null, an
obviOUS temptation might be to place a pot between pins 1
and 8 with the wiper returned to V+. This technique will
usually result in reduced gain and increased offset drift due
to mismatch in the TCR of the pot and R1 and R2. The
technique is, therefore, not generally recommended.

OVER COMPENSATION
The LH0044 may be overcompensated in order to minimize
noise bandwidth by paralleling the internal 100 pF capacitor
with an external capacitor connected between pins 1 and 6.
Unity gain frequency may be predicted by:

The recommended technique for offset nulling the LH0044
is shown in Figure 2. Null is accomplished in A2 and all
errors are divided by the closed loop gain of the LH0044.
Additional offset and drift incurred due to the use of A2 is
less than 1,...VIV for V+ and V- changes and O.Q1,...VI'C
drift for the values shown in Figure 2.

(")

General Description
The LH0045/LH0045C Two Wire Transmitters are linear integrated circuits designed to convert the voltage from a sensor to a current, and send it through to a receiver, utilizing
the same simple twisted pair as the supply voltage.
The LH0045 and LH0045C contain an internal reference
designed to power the sensor bridge, a sensitive input amplifier, and an output current source. The output current
scale can be adjusted to match the industry standards of
4.0 mA to 20 mA or 10 mA to 50 mAo
Designed for use with various sensors, the LH0045/
LH0045C will interlace with thermocouples, strain gauges,
or thermistors. The use of the power supply leads as the
signal output eliminates two or three extra wires in remote
signal applications. Also, current output minimizes susceptibility to voltage noise spikes and eliminates line drop problems.

The LH0045/LH0045C is intended to fulfill a wide variety of
process control, instrumentation, and data acquisition applications. The LH0045 is guaranteed over the temperature
range of -55·C to + 125·C; whereas the LH0045C is guaranteed from - 25·C to + 85·C.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS

A simplified schematic of the LH0045/LH0045C is shown in
Figure 1. Differential amplifier, A2 converts very low level
signals to an output current via transistor 01. Reference
voltage diode D1 is used to supply voltage for operation of
A2 and to bias an external bridge. Current source 11 minimizes fluctuation in the bridge reference voltage due to
changes in Vs.

The power output transistor of the LH0045 is thermally isolated from the signal amplifier, A2. Nevertheless, a change
in the power dissipation will cause a change in the temperature of the package and thus may cause amplifier drift.
These temperature excursions may be minimized by careful
heat sinking to hold the case temperature equal to the ambient. With the TO-8 (G) package this is best accomplished by
a clip-on heat sink such as the Thermalloy # 2240A or the
Wakefield #215-CB. The case is electrically isolated from
the circuit.
In addition, the power change can be minimized by operating the device from relatively high supply voltages in series
with a relatively high load resistance. When the signal
forces the supply current higher, the voltage across the device will be reduced and the internal power dissipation kept
nearly equal to the low current, high voltage condition.
For example, take the case of a 4.0 mA to 20 mA transmitter with a 24 V supply and a 100n load resistance. The power at 4.0 mA is (23.6V) X (4.0 mAl = 94.4 mW while at full
scale the power is (22V) X (20 mAl = 440 mW. The net
change in power is 345 mW. This change in power will
cause a change in temperature and thus a change in offset
voltage of A2.
If the optimum load resistance of 800n (from Figure 2) is
used, the power at null is [24V - (4.0 mAl X (800n))
(4.0 mAl = 83 mW. The power at full scale is [24V (20 mAl X (800n)1 (20 mAl = 160 mW. The net change is
77 mW. This change is significantly less than without the
resistor.

In normal operation, the LH0045/LH0045C is used in conjunction with an external bridge comprised of RS1 through
RS4. The bridge resistors in conjunction with bridge return
resistor, R5, bias A2 in its linear region and sense the input
signal; e.g. RS4 might be a strain sensitive resistor in a strain
gauge bridge. RT is adjusted to purposely unbalance the
bridge for 4.0 mA output (null) for zero signal input. This is
accomplished by forcing 2.5 /LA more through RS3 than
RS4·
The 2.5 /LA imbalance causes a voltage rise of (2.5 /LA) X
(100n) or 250 /LV at the top of RS3. Terminal L2 may be
viewed as the output of an op amp whose closed loop gain
is approximately RF/RS3 = 1600.
The 250 /LV rise at the top of RS3 causes a voltage drop of
(1600) x (250 /LV) or -O.4V across R9. An output current,
Is, equal to O.4V IR9 or 4.0 mA is thus established in 01. If
RS4 is now decreased by 1.0n (due to application of a strain
force), a -1.0 mV change in input voltage will result. This
causes L2 to drop to -2.0V. The output current would then
be 2.0V/100n or 20 mA (Full Scale). If RS3 is a resistor of
the same material as RS4 but not subjected to the strain,
temperature drift effects will be equal in the two legs and will
cancel.
In actual practice the loading effects of RB2 on the gain
(span) and RF on output current must be taken into account.

Applications Information (Continued)
If the supply voltage is increased to 48V and the load resistance chosen to be the optimum value from Figure 2 (1.95k),
then the power at null is [48V - (4.0 mAl x (1.95k)1
(4.0 mAl = 160.8 mW and the power at full scale is [48 (20) x (1.95k)1 (20 mAl = 180 mW for a net change of
19.2 mW.

Bridge Return
An applications resistor is provided in the LH0045 with a
nominal value of 1.0 kO. The primary application for the
resistor is to maintain the minimum common mode input
voltage (1.0V) required by the signal amplifier, A2. A typical
input application might utilize a strain gauge or thermistor
bridge where the resistance of the sensor is 1000. Since
only 1.0 mA may be drawn from VREF, the 1.0 kO bridge
return resistor is used to bias A2 in its linear region as
shown in Figure 3 .

Note that the optimized load resistance is actually the sum
of the line resistance, receiver resistances and added external load resistance. However, in many applications the line
resistance and receiver resistances are negligible compared
to the added external load resistance and thus may be omitted In calculations.

FIGURE 3. Use of Bridge Return
Over Compensation-Pin 8
Over compensation of the signal amplifier, A2, may be desirable in DC applications where the noise-bandwidth must be
minimized. A capaCitor should be placed between pin 8 and
pin 3, common.
Typically,

AUXILIARY PINS
The LH0045 has several auxiliary pins designed to provide
the user with enhanced flexibility and performance. The following is a discussion of possible uses for these pins.
Programmable VREF-Plns 5 and 6
The LH0045G provides pins 5 and 6 to allow the user to
program the value of the reference voltage. The factory
trimmed 10V value Is obtained by leaving 5 and 6 open. A
short between 5 and 6 will program the reference to a nominaI5.1V.

f3 db = 2 1T R (C,

+ CEXT)

where:
R = 400MO
Cl = Internal Compensation Capacitor = 100 pF
CEXT = External (overcompensation) Capacitor

A resistor or pot may be placed between pin 5 and common
(pin 3) to obtain reference voltages between 10V and 30V
or between pin 5 and pin 7 for reference voltages below
10V. Increased reference voltage might be useful to extend
the positive common mode range or to accommodate transducers requiring higher supply voltage. A plot of resistance
between pin 5 and pin 3 versus VREF is given in the typical
electrical characteristics section. VREF may be adjusted
about its nominal value by arranging a pot from VREF to
common and feeding a resistor from the wiper into pin 5 so
that it may either inject or extract current. Lastly, pin 5 may
be used as a nominal 1.7V reference pOint, if care is taken
not to unduly load it with either DC current or capacitance.
Obviously, higher supply voltages must be used to obtain
the higher reference values. The minimum supply voltage to
reference voltage differential is about 4.0V.

Input Guard-Pins 9 and 12
Pins 9 and 12 have no internal connection whatever and
thus need not be used. In some critical low current applications there may be an advantage to running a guard conductor between the inputs and the adjacent pins to intercept
stray leakage currents. Pins 9 and 12 may be connected to
this guard to simplify the PC board layout and allow the
guard to continue under the device. (See AN-63 for further
discussion of guarding techniques.)
NULL AND SPAN ADJUSTMENTS
Most applications of the LH0045 will require potentiometers
to trim the initial tolerances of the sensor, the external resistors and the LH0045 itself. The preferred adjustment proce-

3-194

r-----------------------------------------------------------------------------, :::I:
~

c

Applications Information (Continued)

c

dure is to stimulate the sensor, alternating between two
known values, such as zero and full scale. The span and
null are adjusted by monitoring the output current on a chart
recorder, meter, or oscilloscope. A full scale stimulus is applied to the sensor and the span potentiometer adjusted for
the desired full scale. Then, to adjust the null, apply a zero
percent signal to the sensor and adjust the null potentIometer for the desired zero percent current indication.

Selection of RF
Input bias current to the LH0045C is guaranteed less than
10 nA. Furthermore, the change in IB over the temperature
range of interest is typically under 1.0 nA. If 12 SPAN is selected to be 1.0 /LA (1000 alB) errors due to alBIaT will be
less than 0.1%. For SPAN = 16mA.

If it is impractical to cycle the sensor during the calibration
procedure, the signal may be simulated electrically with two
cautions: 1) the calibration signal must be floating and 2) the
calibration thus achieved does not account for sensor inaccuracies andlor errors in the signal generator.

SENSOR SELECTION
RF = 1.6MO

Generally it is easiest to use an insulated sensor. If it is
necessary to use a grounded sensor, the power supply must
be isolated from chassis ground to avoid extraneous circulating currents.

Nole: For appllcalions wilh DC gain (ratio of feedback and input reSistance)
less than B, it is recommended that a Schottky barrier diode be connected between pin 11 (cathode) and pin 3 (anode). This prevents the
possibility of latch up resulting from the Inverting Input being forced
beyond the amplifier supply voltage during power up.

DESIGN EXAMPLE

Selection of RBl and RB2
The minimum input common mode voltage, VMIN required at
the pin 10 input of A2 is 1.0V. Furthermore, the maximum
open loop supply current (lsoLl drawn by the LH0045 is
3.0 mAo That leaves IMIN = 4.0 mA - 3.0 mA = 1.0 mA left
to bias the bridge at nUll. Hence:

There are numerous circuit configurations that may be utilized with the LH0045. The following is intended as a general design example which may be extended to specific
cases.

Alternatively, an LM113, 1.22V reference diode, or an op

the advantage of lowering the impedance seen at pin 10.

ERROR BUDGET ANALYSIS
Errors Due to Change In VREF (a VREF)
There are several factors which could cause a change in
VREF. First, as the ambient temperature changes, a VREF
drift of ± 0.2 mV
might be expected. Secondly, supply
voltage variations could cause a 0.5 mVIV change in VREF.
Lastly, self-heating due to power dissipation variations can
cause drift of the reference.

aVREF = Total change in VREF
K =

rc

ISPAN = Change in output current from
0% to 100%
For example, a VREF = 24 mY, K = 0.2, R9 = 100n, ISPAN
= 16 mAo Hence, a 0.12% worst case error might be expected in output currents due to a VREF effects.

Error Due to Vos Drift
One of the primary causes of error in Is is caused by VOS
drift. Drift may be induced either by self heating of the device or ambient temperature changes. The input offset voltage drift, aVos/aT, is nominally 3.3 /Lvrc per millivolt of.

aTA = Change in ambient temperature
The bracketed term may be minimized by heat sinking and
using the power minimization technique described under
"Thermal Considerations". For the LH0045G design example, avos = 0.352 mV under ambient conditions and
0.263 mV using a heat sink and RL = 800n.

REF = Une regulation of VREF

a S
Several steps may be taken to minimize the bracketed
terms in the equation above. For example, operating the
LH0045G with a heat sink reduces the thermal resistance
from 8jA = 83°C/W to 0jC = 60°C/W. The aPOISS term
may be significantly reduced using the power minimization
technique described under "Thermal Considerations". For
the design example, aPolSS is reduced from 384 mW to
77 mW (RL = 800n). Evaluating the LH0045G with a heat
sink and RL = 800n yields.

0.03%/OC, hence a 3.2% worst case error in output current

might be expected for operation without a heat sink over the
temperature range.
Heat sinking the device and using RL = 8000, reduces
Als/lsPAN to 2.3%.
The error analysis indicates that the internal current set resistor, R9, is inadequate to satisfy high accuracy design criterion. In these instances, an external 1000 reSistor should
be substituted for R9.
Obviously, the TCR of the resistor should be low. Metal film
or wire-wound resistors are the best choice offering TCR's
less than 10 ppmfOC versus 50 ppmfOC typical drift for R9.
External Causes of Error
The components external to the LH0045 are also critical in
determining errors. Specifically, the composition of resistors
RBI, Ros, RF, R, etc. in the design example will influence
both drift and long term stability.
In particular, resistors and potentiometers of wire wound
construction are recommended. Also, metal-film resistors
with low TCR (S: 10 ppmrC) may be used for fixed resistor
applications.
.
Error Analysis Summary
The overall errors attributable to the LH0045 may be minimized using heat sinking, and utilization of an external load
resistor. Although RL reduces the compliance of the circuit,
its use is generally advisable in precision applications. Extemal components should.be selected for low TCR and long
term stability.

LH0062/LH0062C High Speed
FET Operational Amplifier
General Description
The LH0062/LH0062C is a precision, high speed FET input
operational amplifier with more than an order of magnitude
improvement in slew rate and bandwidth over conventional
FET IC op amps. In addition it features very closely matched
input characteristics, very high input impedance, and ultra
low input currents with no compromise in noise, common
mode rejection ratio or open loop gain. The device has internal unity gain frequency compensation, thus assuring stability in all normal applications. This considerably simplifies its
application, since no external components are necessary
for operation. However, unlike most internally compensated
amplifiers, external frequency compensation may be added
for optimum performance. For inverting applications, feedforward compensation will boost the slew rate to over 120
V/p.s and almost double the bandwidth. (See LB-2, LB-14,
and LB-17 for discussions of the application of feed-forward
techniques). Over-compensation can be used with the amplifier for greater stability when maximum bandwidth is not
needed. Further, a single capacitor can be added to reduce
the 0.1 % settling time to under 1 p.s. In addition It Is free of
latch-up and may be simply offset nulled with negligible effect on offset drift or CMRR.

The LH0062 is designed for applications requiring wide
bandwidth, high slew rate and fast settling time while at the
same time demanding the high input impedance and low
input currents characteristic of FET inputs. Thus it is particularly suited for such applications as video amplifiers, sample/hold circuits, high speed integrators, and buffers for
AID conversion and multiplex system. The LH0062 is specified for the full military temperature range of - 55· to
+ 125·C while the LH0062C is specified to operate over a
- 25·C to + 85·C temperature range.

Note 1: For supply voltages less than ± 15V, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply voltage.
Nole 2: Inputs are protected from excessive voltages by back·ta-back diodes. Input currents should be IimHed to 1 rnA.
Nole3:Unlessotherwisespecified,thesespecHicationsapplyfor ±5V,. Vs,. ±20Vand -55'C,. TA" + 125'C for the LH0062 and -25'C,. TA" +85'C
for the LHOO62C. Typical values are given for TA = 25'C. Power supplies should be bypassed with 0.1 ",F ceramic capacitors.
Nole 4: Input currents are a strong function of tamperature. Due to high speed testing they are specified at a iunction temperature T = 25'C , self heating will
cause an increase in current in manual tests. 25"C spec Is guaranteed by testing at 125'C.

LH0082 Optical Communication ReceiverI Amplifier
II Low input bias current

General Description

II Pin selectable sensitivity: -45

The LHOOB2 is a general purpose, low-noise, fiber-optic receiver, which may also be used as a fast current to voltage
converter, or as a high speed voltage amplifier. The circuit
includes a wide-bandwidth FET-input amplifier, a 2.4V reference, a comparator with hysteresis, and all the necessary
resistors and capacitors for feedback and coupling, all integrated in a hermetic dual-in-line package. The large gainbandwidth of the preamp enables fast response even with
high capacitance photodiodes. A separate analog output
permits the reception of analog signals to 20 MHz via a
fiber-optic link. The internal comparator converts a low level
analog signal to a CMOS/TTL compatible logic signal at
data rates up to 5 Mbits/s NRZ. The LHOOB2 can be used
with an external comparator at data rates to 40 Mbits/s.

itance photodiode possible for the application. When using
phototransistors, only the collector-base junction should be
used for fastest response. Additional sensitivity may be
gained by using a phototransistor in the transistor mode,
although this will result in slower circuit response, and poor
DC stability due to beta multiplication of the dark current of
the phototranslstor. Avoid capacitive loading at the output of
the comparator to achieve maximum data rates.

Avalanche photodiodes can be used for improved sensitivity
and speed. Overall speed is limited by the internal comparator. Use of an external comparator such as the LM160 will
enable the full speed capability to be realized. This requires
the use of an additional power supply, see Figure 5.

For operations at higher data rates, Figure 5 shows the use
of an external comparator to enable speeds to 50 Mbit NRZ.
Figure 6, 7 and 8 demonstrate interfacing techniques to avalanche photodiodes and phototransistors.

With a few additional components, the LHOOB2 can be used
as a repeater as shown in Figure 9. Interfacing to a microcomputer-bus, (Figure 10), is also easy when the LHOOB2 is
teamed with an INSB250 Asynchronous Communications
Element. This provides a full duplex link capable of bit rates
to 56 kbits/s NRZ.

Applications Information
The gain-bandwidth of the LHOOB2 preamp is nearly 2 GHz,
thus good bypassing of the supply voltage is necessary; a
3.3 p.F tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.01 p.F ceramic
disc is recommended, placed as close as possible to the
device pins.

Analog data can be sent along a fiber-optic cable via digital
means, (Figure 11 ). Low temperature drift can be obtained
in the analog mode, by using the circuit shown in Agure 12.

Careful shielding of pins 2, 13 and 14 is necessary if the
LHOOB2 is used in a high noise environment. Minimize stray
capacitance to pin 14 from ground, Vee or pin 3 to avoid
slowing overall circuit response. Choose the lowest capacVee: = +5V

Digitally-Programmable-Gain Amplifier
General Description

Features

The LH0086 is a self-contained, high-accuracy, digitally-programmable-gain amplifier. It consists of a FET-input operational amplifier, a precision resistor ladder, and a digitallyprogrammable switch network. A three-bit TIL-compatible
digital input selects accurate gain settings of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20,
50, 100, or 200.
The LH0086 exhibits low offset voltage, high input impedance, fast settling, high power supply rejection ratio, and
excellent gain accuracy and gain non-linearity.
The LH0086 is specified for operation from -55·C to
+ 125·C. The LH0086C is specified from - 25·C to + 85·C.
Both devices are hermetically sealed in a 14-lead dual-inline metal package.

Theory of Operation
The LH0086 is a digitally programmable gain amplifier with
3-bit digital gain control. It contains a FET-input operational
amplifier, a precision resistor ladder, and a digitally programmable switch network.

Care must be taken in the power-on sequence. The LH0086
may suffer irreversible damage if the V+ supply is applied
prior to the powering on of the V- supply. In most applications using dual-tracking supplies and with the device supply
pins adequately bypassed, this will not present a problem. If
this cannot be guaranteed, a germanium or Schottky protection diode should be connected between the digital ground
pin and the V- pin as shown in Figure 1.

The LH0086 was designed for use in a non-inverting configuration, thus the following discussion covers the LH0086 as
used as a non-inverting amplifier. The gain of the LH0086 is
given by the familiar gain equation of a non-inverting amplifier.

Grounding Considerations

Av = 1 + RF

Rs

Care should be taken in the connection of digital and analog
grounds. Digital switching currents can introduce noise on
the analog ground pin. If pOSSible, both grounds should go
to a ground plane beneath the device, otherwise each
ground should be run separately to a single point ground.
The idea is to keep digital current from passing through the
analog ground line. If long ground leads are used, diode
clamps should be placed as close to the device as possible
(Figure 1).

Each gain step is set by the ratio of the ladder resistors. The
resistor ladder is constructed with high stability, low temperature-coefficient resistors precision laser-trimmed to the required values. FET switches are used to select the desired
ratio. Since the FET switches are in series with the operational amplifier input, their "on resistance" and temperature
drift do not degrade amplifier accuracy. The FET switches
are selected by a 1 of 8 decoder, by applying the proper
logic levels at digital inputs DO, 01, and 02. The gains are
set as given in Table I.

Programmable Attenuator
The LH0086 may be used as a programmable attenuator
when connected as in Figure 2. The accuracy of this attenuator will be typically 0.1"fo.

Power Supply Connection
Proper power supply connections are shown in Figure 1.
The power supplies should be bypassed to ground as close
as possible to device supply pins. For most applications, the
bypass capacitor should be 0.1 ,..F.

Remote Output Sense
Inverting Mode

The VOUT sense pin of the LH0086 should be connected at
the load in order to eliminate errors due to lead resistance.
In any case the output sense and output force must be tied
together at some point. See Figure 4.

The LH0086 may be used in the inverting mode, however,
there are several design considerations.
1. Input resistance is low at high gains (see gain chart for
input resistance at each gain).
2. Each gain step gets a one subtracted from the non·invert·
ing gain. (See inverting gain chart for available gains.)
3. The first gain step (digital code of 000) cannot be used
because the output will remain at virtual ground regardless of the input.

Note 1: Specification Is at TA = 25'C. Actual values at operating temperature may differ from the TA = 25'C value. When supply voltages are ± 15V, quiescent
operating junction temperature will rise approximately 20'C without heat sinking. Accordingly, Vos may change 0.5 mV and Ie and los will change Significantly
during warm-ups. Refer to the Ie vs. temperature and power dissipation graphs for expected values. Power supply voltage Is ± 15V. Temperature testa are made
only at extremes.
Note 2: Change In offset voltage with dissipated power Is due entirely to average device temperature rlse and not to differential thermal feedback effects. Test Is
performed without any heat sink.
Note 3: At light loads, the output swing may be limited by the second stage rather than the output stage. See the application section under "Output swing
enhancement" for hints on how to obtaln extended operation.
Note 4: These parameters are sample tested to 10% LTPD.
Note 6: Refer to RETS0101AK lor the LH0101AK military specifications and RETS0101K for the LH0101K military specifications.

Application Hints
Electrostatic shielding of high impedance circuitry is advisable.
Error voltages can also be generated in the external circuitry. Thermocouples formed between dissimilar metals can
cause hundreds of microvolts of error in the presence of
temperature gradients.
Since the LH0101 can deliver large output currents, careful
attention should be paid to power supply, power supply bypassing and load currents. Incorrect grounding of signal inputs and load can cause significant errors.

Input Voltages
The LH0101 operational amplifier contains JFET input devices which exhibit high reverse breakdown voltages from
gate to source or drain. This eliminates the need for input
clamp diodes, so that high differential input voltages may be
applied without a large increase in input current. However,
neither input voltage should be allowed to exceed the negative supply as the resultant high current flow may destroy
the unit.
Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input
will cause a reversal of the phase to the output and force
the amplifier output to the corresponding high or low state.
Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on both inputs
will force the amplifier output to a high state. In neither case
does a latch occur since raising the input back within the
common-mode range again puts the input stage and thus
the amplifier in a normal operating mode.

Every attempt should be made to achieve a single point
ground system as shown in the figure below.

Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a single input
will not change the phase of the output however, if both

These amplifiers will operate with the common-mode input
voltage equal to the positive supply. In fact, the commonmode voltage may exceed the positive supply by approximately 100 mV, independent of supply voltage and over the
full operating temperature range. The positive supply may
therefore be used as a reference on an input as, for example, in a supply current monitor and/or limiter.
With the LH0101 there is a temptation to remove the bias
current compensation resistor normally used on the non-inverting input of a summing amplifier. Direct connection of
the inputs to ground or a low-impedance voltage source is
not recommended with supply voltages greater than 3V.
The potential problem involves loss of one supply which can
cause excessive current in the second supply. Destruction
of the IC could result if the current to the inputs of the device is not limited to less than 100 mA or if there is much
more than 1 ,...F bypass on the supply buss.
Although difficulties can be largely avoided by installing
clamp diodes across the supply lines on every PC board, a
conservative design would include enough resistance in the
input lead to limit current to 10 mA if the input lead is pulled
to either supply by internal currents. This precaution is by no
means limited to the LH0101.

FIGURE 1. Single-Point Grounding
Bypass capaCitor Csx should be used if the lead lengths of
bypass capaCitors Cs are long. If a single point ground system is not possible, keep signal, load, and power supply
from intermingling as much as possible. For further information on proper grounding techniques refer to "Grounding
and Shielding Techniques in Instrumentation" by Morrison,
and "Noise Reduction Techniques in Electronic Systems"
by Ott (both published by John Wiley and Sons).
Leads or PC board traces to the supply pins, short-circuit
current limit pins, and the output pin must be substantial
enough to handle the high currents that the LH0101 is capable of producing.

Layout Considerations
When working with circuitry capable of resolving pico-ampere level signals, leakage currents in circuitry external to
the op amp can significantly degrade performance. High
quality insulation is a must (Kel-F and Teflon rate high).
Proper cleaning of all insulating surfaces to remove fluxes
and other residues is also required. This includes the IC
package as well as sockets and printed circuit boards.
When operating in high humidity environments or near O'C,
some form of surface coating may be necessary to provide
a moisture barrier.

Short Circuit Current Limiting
Should current limiting of the output not be necessary, SC+
should be shorted to V + and SC - should be shorted to
V -. Remember that the short circuit current limit is dependent upon the total resistance seen between the supply and
current limit pins. This total resistance includes the desired
resistor plus leads, PC Board traces, and solder joints.' Assuming a zero TCR current limit resistor, typical temperature
coefficient of the short circuit will be approximately .3%.
'Short circuit current will be limited to approximately :~~.

The effects of board leakage can be minimized by encircling
the input circuitry with a conductive guard ring operated at a
potential close to that of the inputs.

ground set the frequency of the pole. In many instances the
frequency of this pole is much greater than the expected 3
dB frequency of the closed loop gain and consequently
there is negligible effect on stability margin. However, if the
feedback pole is less than approximately six times the expected 3 dB frequency a lead capacitor should be placed
from the output to the input of the op amp. The value of the
added capacitor should be such that the RC time consistant
of this capaCitor and the resistance it parallels is greater
than or equal to the original feedback pole time constant.

The thermal resistance between two pOints of a conductive
system is expressed as:
812 = T1 -

T2 0C/W

Po
where subscript order indicates the direction of heat flow. A
simplified heat transfer circuit for a cased semiconductor
and heat sink system is shown in the figure below.
The circuit is valid only if the system is in thermal equilibrium
(constant heat flow) and there are, indeed, single specific
temperatures TJ, Tc and Ts (no temperature distribution in
junction, case, or heat sink). Nevertheless, this is a reasonable approximation of actual performance.

Some inductive loads may cause output stage oscillation. A
.01 ,..F ceramic capaCitor in series with a 10n resistor from
the output to ground will usually remedy this situation.

The junction-to-case thermal resistance 8JC specified in the

the case or lead frame. The case-to-heat sink thermal resistance 8cs depends on the mounting of the device to the

0.3 to 0.5°C/W using silicone grease.

Stability and Compensation
As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in'order to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to an input should be placed with the body close to the
input to minimize "pickup" and maximize the frequency of
the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from the
input to ground.
A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance from the input device (usually the inverting input) to ac

Output Swing Enhancement

Output Resistance

When the feedback pin is connected directly to the output,
the output voltage swing is limited by the driver stage and
not by output saturation. Output swing can be increased as
shown by taking gain in the output stage as shown in High
Power Voltage Follower with Swing Enhancement below.
Whenever gain is taken in the output stage, as in swing
enhancement, either the output stage, or the entire op amp
must be appropriately compensated to account for the additional loop gain.

The open loop output resistance of the LH0101 is a function
of the load current. No load output resistance is approximately 100. This decreases to under on 0 for load currents
exceeding 100 mAo

Note 1: The maximum iunction temperature of the LH2108A/LH2108 is IS0°C, while that of the LH2208A/LH2208 is 100°C and that of the LH2308A1LH2308 is
85°C. For operating devices in the flat package at elevated temperatures, the derating is based on a thermal resistance of 185°C/W when mounted on a Ywinchthick epoxy glass board with O.03-inch-wide, 2-ounce copper conductors. The thermal resistance of the dual-in-line package is 100°C/W, junction to ambient.

Note 2: The inputs are shunted with back-ta-back diodes for overvoltage protection. Therefore, excessive current will flow if a differential input voltage in excess of
1V is applied between the inputs unless some limiting resistance is used.

Note 3: For supply voltages less lhan ± ISV, the absolute maximum input vollage is equal to lhe supply voltage.
Note 4: These specifications apply for ±SV S; Vs S; ±20Vand -SsoC S; TA S; 12SoC, unless otherwise specified. With the LH2208A/LH2208. however, all
temperature specifications are limited to -2SoC S; TA S; 8S·C and with the LH2308A1LH2308 for ±SV S; Vs S; 15Vand O·C S; TA S; 70·C.

LH4101/LH4101C Wideband High Current
Operational Amplifier

«:)

General Description

Features

The LH4101 is a high slew rate, FET input, wideband operational amplifier designed for applications that require an op
amp to provide up to 200 rnA peak and 100 rnA continuous
output current. This feature eliminates the need for a buffer
to provide the additional current drive not available with
most wideband op amps.

• 45 MHz bandwidth
• 10120. input impedance
• Pin strappable gain settings of 1, 2,3,4, -1, -2, -3
•
•
•
•
•

Designed for use with minimum external circuitry, the
LH4101 provides internal compensation for unity gain stability and all the gain set resistors for most popular gain settings, as well as internal supply bypass capacitors. These
features minimize the circuit's sensitivity to external layout
conditions. These features are provided in a 24 pin hermetic
dual in-line package.

Unity gain stable
Internal supply bypassing
100 rnA continuous output current
24 pin hermetic DIP
Directly drives 500. loads

The LH41 01's wide bandwidth, programmable gain settings,
and high output current make it an ideal choice for fast buffering applications such as video distribution. It is also appropriate for use in summing amplifiers, sample and hold circuits, and high speed integrators.

Q

The LH4101 will perform well in most circuit boards even
without external supply bypassing; however, it is recommended that some bulk bypassing be provided. One 10 I£F
electrolytic on each supply is recommended. Proximity to
the device pins is not critical, but the bypass will be most
effective if located within an inch of the part.

The LH4101 provides internal gain set resistors for most
popular gain settings. A chart is provided to assist in determining the proper pins to connect to achieve these gains.
The internal gain resistors are trimmed and matched to insure the gain accuracy to 0.8% typically. The LH4101 can
operate at other gain settings, but the user must supply additional gain set resistors external to the part.

Input Capacitance
The input capacitance to the LH4101 is typically 5 pF and
for source impedances greater than 1000., the input time
constant should be considered.

To configure the LH4101 as a non-inverting amplifier with a
gain of 4, short pins 17 to 18 and 15 to 19, as shown in
Figure 2a. Again, no external components are necessary.
This configuration provides a bandwidth of 25 MHz with an

input sine wave of 1.0 Vp_p and a bandwidth of 10 MHz with
an input of 5 Vp_p while providing 100 mA of output current.
This eliminates the need of an additional buffer in the circuit

Applications Information
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING

currents vary with temperature and input voltage range. IB
will normally double with each II'C rise in junction temperature.

The LH4104 will perform well in most circuit boards even
without external supply bypassing; however it is recommended that some bulk bypassing be provided to maintain
optimum settling time. A 0.1 fLF disc ceramic capacitor and
1 fLF tantalum capacitor on each supply is recommended.
Place the bypass capacitors close to the amplifiers supply
pins.

LAYOUT PRECAUTIONS
Grounding and circuit layout are extremely important in preserving the settling time of the LH41 04. It is important to use
single point ground returns for inputs, loads, and feedback
components and to keep the returns short. Compensation
components should be located close to the appropriate pins
to minimize stray reactances. Keep the system's digital signals (or any other signals with fast rise times) separated
from the amplifier. If such signals are too close to the amplifier, they can couple capacitively to the amplifier's inputs,
resulting in undesirable signals at the output.

COMPENSATION
To minimize the effects of input capacitance at the
LH4104's inverting input and any additional layout capacitance, an external compensation capacitor must be used.
The compensation capacitor (Cl) used in Figure 2 (Test
Circuit Section) is typically 66 pF. The optimum value for the
compensation capacitor depends on the application circuit
and the board layout.

PRESERVING AND VERIFYING THE LH4104'S FAST
SETTLING TIME

INPUT BIAS CURRENT

To realize optimum settling performance in circuits using the
LH41 04, both the deSign and layout must be meticulous.
Application note AN-428, "Preserving and Verifying the

The input devices are JFETs, and will normally have input
bias (IB) currents in the tens of picoamps. However, these

Applications Information (Continued)
mended that the negative supply be turned on first, if the
supplies can be turned on independently.
Also, even if the input stage is well protected with clamp
diodes and current limiting, the inputs should not be allowed
to be heavily unbalanced (for example, one input at ground
and the other at the rail) for extended periods of time (for
example, many hours). The long-term effects of an unbalanced differential pair are increased offset voltage and offset current.

LF400's Fast Settling Time", explains the required design
and measurement techniques. Although this application
note was written for the LF400, it suggests good guidelines
and is directly applicable to the LH4104. Only the sections
covering supply bypassing and output load limitations
should be ignored. This is because the LH4104 has internal
bypassing capacitors and substantially greater output drive
current than the LF400. The suggested circuits require only
small and straightforward modifications; even the printed
circuit board layout can be easily modified to accept the
footprint of the LH41 04 without impacting setting time.
PROTECTION SCHEMES FOR THE LH4104
The LH4104 has similar input characteristics of National
Semiconductor's BI-FETTM family of operational amplifiers.
As such, designing with this part requires that several precautions are observed which are uncharacteristic of other
op amps. Application Note AN-447 covers these caveats in
greater detail for the whole product family. (The LH4104's
input stage shares its topology with the LF400.)
NEVER LEAVE AN INPUT UNATTENDEDI
If an Input to the LH4104 Is left open circuited (or connected
to an analog multiplexer in a high impedance state), the
input bias current will be drawn from the very small parasitic
input capacitance « 10 pF). This capacitor will rapidly
charge up to the power supply rail at a rate of dv/dt =
ISIAS/CIN. Since the LH4104 is a capable of large output
currents and has no internal current limiting, it will easily be
destroyed by excessive power diSSipation if such an input
condition exists while driving a low Impedance load (e.g.
500).
To avoid this condition in circuits where the LH41 04 is buffering the FET switch of an analog multiplexer, one must
connect a resistor between the input and ground to provide
a bias current path. This will invariably degrade the effective
input impedance of the device, so a large resistor is desirable.
For example, selecting a 1 MO resistor will result in a harmless 25 mV output signal during the "deselected" state (for
the worst case bias current of 25 nA). Increasing this resistor will increase the output signal for the deseiected" state;
decreasing it will reduce this signal while degrading the input impedance. Depending on the user's circuit specifications, a compromise must be selected. This resistor will not
introduce an increase in the effective offset voltage during
the "seiected" state because the input is driven by a low
impedance source.

Offset voltage can be nulled using a 56K resistor and a 25K

the possibility of noise pickup the unused Vos trim pins

Adding the clamp diodes shown in Figure 1 not only protects the inputs from transients when the circuit is operating,
but protects them as power is being applied to the circuit.
Because the parasitic transistor apears when the input voltage is less than the negative supply, applying the positive
suppiy or input voltage before the negative supply is applied
can cause this problem. For this reason, it is always'racom-

Applications Information
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING

NEVER LEAVE AN INPUT UNATTENDED

The LH4105 will perform well in most circuit boards even
without external supply bypassing; however it is recommended that some bulk bypassing be provided to maintain
optimum settling time. A 0.1 p.F disc ceramic capacitor and
1 p.F tantalum capacitor on each supply is recommended.
Place the bypass capacitors close to the amplifiers supply
pins.

If an input to the LH41 05 is left open circuited (or connected
to an analog multiplexer in a high impedance state), the
input bias current will be drawn from the very small parasitic
input capacitance «10 pF). This capacitor will rapidly
charge up to the power supply rail at a rate of dv/dt =
IBIAS/CIN. Since the LH4105 is capable of large output currents and has no internal current limiting, it will easily be
destroyed by excessive power dissipation if such an input
condition exists while driving a low impedance load (e.g.
50n).

COMPENSATION
To minimize the effects .of input capacitance at the
LH4105's inverting input and any additional layout capacitance, an external compensation capacitor must be used.
The compensation capacitor (C1) used in Figure 2 (Test
Circuit Section) is typically 66 pF. The optimum value for the
compensation capacitor depends on the application circuit
and the board layout.

To avoid this condition in circuits where the LH4105 is buffering the FET switch of an analog multiplexer, one must
connect a resistor between the input and ground to provide
a bias current path. This will invariably degrade the effective
input impedance of the device, so a large resistor is desirable.

INPUT BIAS CURRENT

For example, selecting a 1 MO resistor will result in a harmless 25 mV output Signal during the "deselected" state (for
the worst case bias current of 25 nA). Increasing this resistor will increase the output signal for the deselected state;
decreasing it will reduce this signal while degrading the input impedance. Depending on the user's circuit specifications, a compromise must be selected. This resistor will not
introduce an increase in the effective offset voltage during
the "selected" state because the input is driven by a low
impedance source.

The input devices are JFETs, and will normally have input
bias (IB) currents in the tens of picoamps. However, these
currents vary with temperature and input voltage range. IB
will normally double with each 11 'C rise in junction temperature.

LAYOUT PRECAUTIONS
Grounding and circuit layout are extremely important in preserving the settling time of the LH41 05. It is important to use
single pOint ground returns for inputs, loads, and feedback
components and to keep the returns short. Compensation
components should be located close to the appropriate pins
to minimize stray reactances. Keep the system's digital signals (or any other signals with fast rise times) separated
from the amplifier. If such signals are too close to the amplifier, they can couple capacitively to the amplifier's inputs,
resulting in undesirable signals at the output.

POWER SUPPLY SEQUENCING
Adding the clamp diodes shown in Figure 1 not only protects the inputs from transients when the circuit is operating,
but protects them as power is being applied to the circuit.
Because the parasitic transistor appears when the input
voltage is less than the negative supply, applying the positive supply or input voltage before the negative supply is
applied can damage the device. For this reason, it is always
recommended that the negative supply be turned on first, if
the supplies can be turned on independently.

PRESERVING AND VERIFYING THE LH4104'S FAST
SETTLING TIME
To realize optimum settling performance in circuits using the
LH4105, both the design and layout must be meticulous.
Application note AN-428, "Preserving and Verifying the
LF400's Fast Settling Time", explains the required design
and measurement techniques. Although this application
note was written for the LF400, it suggests good guidelines
and is directly applicable to the LH4105. Only the sections
covering supply bypassing and output load limitations
should be ignored. This is because the LH4105 has internal
bypassing capacitors and substantially greater output drive
current than the LF400. The suggested circuits require only
small and straightforward modifications; even the printed
circuit board layout can be easily modified to accept the
footprint of the LH4105 without impacting settling time. In
addition, bypassing offset adjust pins 3 and 7 with 0.1 p.F
capacitors will minimize noise pickup and preserve the settling time.

Also, even if the input stage is well protected with clamp
diodes and current limiting, the inputs should not be allowed
to be heavily unbalanced (for example, one input at ground
and the other at the rail) for extended periods of time (for
example, many hours). The long-term effects of an unbalanced differential pair are increased offset voltage and offset current.
~I

PROTECTION SCHEMES FOR THE LH4104
The LH4105 has similar input characteristics of National
Semiconductor's BI-FETTM family of operational amplifiers.
As such, designing with this part requires that several precautions are observed which are uncharacteristic of other
op amps. Application Note AN-447 covers these caveats in
greater detail for the whole product family. (The LH4105's
input stage shares its topology with the LF400.)

LH4117/LH4117C Precision RF Amplifier
General Description
The LH4117 is a FET-input wideband amplifier optimized for
high speed, low gain applications. It is an ideal alternative to
low precision open loop buffers and conventional operational amplifiers. It features a closed loop -3 dB unity gain
bandwidth in excess of 150 MHz. Unlike conventional opamps, the bandwidth is relatively independent of closed
loop gain between 1 and 20. A high current output stage is
also incorporated, allowing the LH4117 to drive 500 terminated lines directly. It is an ideal choice for video distribution, flash converter input buffering and ATE pin drivers.

Note I: Boldface lim"s are guaranteed over full temperature range. Operating ambient temperature range of LH4117C is - 2S'C to + 8S'C. and LH4117 is - SS'C

to +12S'C.
Note 2: Tested limits are guaranteed and 100% production tested.
Note 3: Design limits are guaranteed (but not production tested) over the indicated temperature or temperature range. These limits are not used to calculate
outgoing quality level.
Note 4: Specifications Is at 2S'C iunction temperature due to requirements of high speed automatic testing. Actual values at operating temperature will exceed
value at Ti = 25'C.
Note 5: When the LH4117 is operated at elevated temporature (such as 12S'C). some form of heat sinking of forced air cooling Is required. The quiescent power
with Vs = ±15V is 1.2W. whereas the package can only handle 660 mW without a heatsink at12S'C.
Note 6: Differential gain and phase were measured at video leveis (0 mV-7S0 mV) between IS.7 kHz and 3.S8 MHz. The actual values are smaller than 0,01 dB
and 0.01 deg, but could not be accurately measured with existing equipment.

lH4141C
0.2 Amp Power Operational Amplifier
General Description

Features

The LH4141 C is a general purpose operational amplifier capable of delivering large output currents not usually associated with conventionallC Op Amps. The LH4141C delivers
currents of 200 mA at voltage levels closely approaching
the available power supplies. In addition, both the inputs
and outputs are protected against overload. The devices
are compensated with a single external capacitor and are
free of any unusual oscillation or latch-up problems.

•
•
•
•
•

The LH4141 C is particularly suited for applications such as
torque driver for inertial guidance systems, diddle yoke driver for alpha-numeric CRT displays, cable drivers, and programmable power supplies for automatic test equipment.

Note 1: Continuous short-circuit operation at elevated ambient temperature can result in exceeding the maximum allowed junction temperature of 1S00C.

Note 2: The typical iunction·to·ambient thermal resistance of the cerdip (J) package is 125'C/W, and the TO·5 (H) package is 155'C/W. All numbers apply for
packages soldered directly into a printed circuit board.
Nota 3: Unless otherwise specHied, all limits guaranteed for TA = TJ
over the range listed under "Operating Temperature Range" with TA

= 25'C with supply voltage = ± 15V, VCM = OV, and RL :,
= TJ in the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" section.

Note 4: Guaranteed and 100% production tested. These limits are used to calculate outgoing AOL levels.
Note 5: Guaranteed but not 100% production tested. These .limits are not used to calculate outgoing AOL levels.
Note 6: For Single supply operation, the following conditions apply: V+

= 5V, V-. = OV, VCM = 2.5V, VOUT = 2.5V.

Note 7: CL " 5 pF.
Note 8: In order to achieve optimum AC performance, the input stage was deSigned without protective clamps. Exceeding the maximum differential input voltage
results in reverse breakdown of the base-emitter junction of one of the input transistors and probable degradation of the input parameters (especially VOS, lOS and
Noise).
Note 9: The average voltage that the weakest pin combinations (those involving Pin 2 or Pin 3) can withstand and still conform to the datasheet limits. The test
circuit used consists of the human body model of 100 pF in series with 1500n.
Note 10: VIN = 8V step. For supply = ±5V, VIN = 5V step.
Note 11: Voltage Gain Is the total output swing (20V) divided by the inputsignal required to produce that swing.

Application Hints
The LH4161 has been compensated for unity-gain operation. Since this compensation involved adding emitter-degeneration resistors in the op amp's input stage, the openloop gain was reduced as the stability increased. Gain error
due to reduced AVOL is most apparent at high gains.

0.1 JlF ceramic capacitors should be used (from each supply "rail" to ground); if the device is far away from its power
supply source, an additional 2.2 to 10 p.F of tantalum may
be required for extra noise reduction.
Keep all leads short to reduce stray capacitance and lead
inductance, and make sure ground paths are low-impedance, especially where heavier currents will be flowing.
Stray capacitance in the circuit layout can cause signal coupling from one pin, input or lead to another, and can cause
circuit gain to unintentionally vary with frequency.

The LH4161 is unusually tolerant of capacitive loads. Most
op amps tend to oscillate when their load capacitance is
greater than about 200 pF (espeCially in low-gain circuits).
However, load capacitance on the LH4161 effectively increases its compensation capacitance, thus slowing the op
amp's response and reducing its bandwidth.

Breadboarded circuits will work best if they are built using
generic PC boards with a good ground plane. If the op amps
are used with sockets, as opposed to being soldered into
the circuit, the additional input capacitance may degrade
circuit performance.

Power supply bypaSSing is not as critical for the LH4161 as
it is for other op amps in its speed class. However, bypassing will improve the stability and transient response of the
LH4161, and is recommended for every design. 0.01 JlF to

LH4162A/LH4162/LH4162C
Dual High Speed Operational Amplifier
General Description

Features

The LH4162 high-speed amplifier exhibits an excellent
speed-power product in delivering 300 V/p.s and 50 MHz
unity gain stability with only 5 mA of supply current. Further
power savings and application convenience are possible by
taking advantage of the wide dynamic range In operating
supply voltage which extends all the way down to + 5V.
These amplifiers are built with National's new VIPTM (Vertically Integrated PNP) process which provides fast PNP transistors that are true complements to the already fast NPN
devices. This advanced junction-isolated process delivers
high-speed performance without the need for complex and
expensive dielectric isolation.
In addition, they are precision laser trimmed to guarantee
low offset voltage.

Application Hints
The LH4162 has been compensated for unity-gain operation. Since this compensation involved adding emitter-degeneration resistors in the op amp's input stage, the openloop gain was reduced as the stability increased. Gain error
due to reduced AVOL is most apparent at high gains.

0.1 ,...F ceramic capacitors should be used (from each supply "rail" to ground); if the device is far away from its power
supply source, an additional 2.2 ,...F to 10 ,...F of tantalum
may be required for extra noise reduction.
Keep all leads short to reduce stray capacitance and lead
inductance, and make sure ground paths are low-impedance, especially where heavier currents will be flowing.
Stray capacitance in the circuit layout can cause signal coupling from one pin, input or lead to another, and can cause
circuit gain to unintentionally vary with frequency.

The LH4162 is unusually tolerant of capacitive loads. Most
op amps tend to oscillate when their load capacitance is
greater than about 200 pF (especially in low-gain circuits).
However, load capacitance on the LH4162 effectively increases its compensation capacitance, thus slowing the op
amp's response and reducing its bandwidth.

Breadboarded circuits will work best if they are built using
generic PC boards with a good ground plane. If the op amps
are used with sockets, as opposed to being soldered into
the circuit, the additional input capacitance may degrade
circuit performance.

Power supply bypassing is not as critical for the LH4162 as
it is for other op amps in Its speed class. However, bypassing will improve the stability and transient response of the
LH4162 and is recommended for every design. 0.01 ,...F to

General Information
The LH4200 is useful for a variety of RF, VHF, and UHF
applications including feedback, AGC amplifiers, and signal
sources. The amplifier is internally bypassed for good high
frequency performance, but should be bypassed externally
with a large (10 ",F aluminum electrolytic or better) capacitor to prevent low frequency stability (oscillation) problems.
The amplifier has three inputs: Two high impedance gates
for signal input, and a low impedance source for series
mode Feedback (Pin 3).

power gain and increase input impedance. A typical connection is shown along with the feedback components needed
to achieve several different gain settings. (See Figure 5. )
The performance of the LH4200 degrades from ideal above
250 MHz as indicated by the S parameters. The input impedance decreases and is capacitive while the output impedance increases and is inductive. For maximum performance in the 250 MHz to 900 MHz area, some performance
improvement can be obtained with suitable matching networks.

Normally, Input 1 is used as the signal input while Input 2 is
used to control the gain of the amplifier for those applications using Automatic Gain Control (AGC). Gain control
ranges of over 60 dB are possible to 100 MHz. Input 2 is
biased at + 1.5V for maximum gain and - 2V for minimum
gain. Input 2 and Feedback (Pin 3) are normally bypassed
with 0.01 ",F capacitors for maximim gain.

The second gate, Input 2 may be used as a second isolated
input for small signal operation. The open loop gain from
this input is approximately 6 dB less than from Input 1.
The LH4200 may be used as a feedback amplifier, in which
case, the third input, Feedback, is connected to the output
with a suitable resistor to set the overall power gain. In this
manner, voltage series feedback is used to establish the

LH4200 Video Diode Receiver

N

The LH4200 may be used for crystal video receiver applications (see Figure 6). Crystal video receivers, although much
less sensitive than their superhetrodyne counterparts, offer
the advantage of simplicity. Typical applications include receivers for radar beacons, missile guidance, fuze activation
and countermeasures; as well as signal monitoring and
power leveling detectors.

high source impedances. Measured noise figure is 7 dB
from a 500 source and less than 4 dB from a 1 kO source.

AGe Application
This circuit provides a constant RF output signal level over a
broad range of input signal levels (see Figure 7). Diode Dl
provides a DC signal proportional to the RF output level.
This signal is compared to a reference voltage at the input
to the LM358, which in turn controls the voltage at Input 2,
controlling the gain of the LH4200.

This circuit shows two LH4200 amplifiers cascaded to provide a gain of 60 dB with a bandwidth of over 100 MHz.

General Description
The LM10 series are monolithic linear ICs consisting of a
precision reference, an adjustable reference buffer and an
independent, high quality op amp.
The unit can operate from a total supply voltage as low as
1.1 V or as high as 40V, drawing only 270pA A complementary output stage swings within 15 mV of the supply terminals or will deliver ± 20 rnA output current with ± 0.4V saturation. Reference output can be as low as 200 mV. Some
other characteristics of the LM10 are
2.0 mV (max)
• input-offset voltage
0.7 nA (max)
• input-offset current
20 nA (max)
• input-bias current
0.1% (max)
• reference regulation
2p.VI'C
• offset-voltage drift
0.002%I'C
• reference drift

The circuit is recommended for portable equipment and is
completely specified for operation from a single power cell.
In contrast, high output-drive capability, both voltage and
current, along with thermal overload protection, suggest it in
demanding general-purpose applications.
The device is capable of operating in a floating mode, independent of fixed supplies. It can function as a remote comparator, signal conditioner, SCR controller or transmitter for
analog signals, delivering the processed signal on the same
line used to supply power. It is also suited for operation in a
wide range of voltage- and current-regulator applications,
from low voltages to several hundred volts, providing greater precision than existing ICs.
This series is available in the three standard temperature
ranges, with the commercial part having relaxed limits. In
addition, a low-voltage specification (suffix "L") is available
in the limited temperature ranges at a cost savings.

Note 1: The Input voltage can exceed the supply voltages provided that the voltage from the input to any other terminal does not exceed the maximum differential
input voltage and excess dissipation is accounted for when VIN90'C, lOS ~ay exceed 1.S nA for VCM=V-. With TJ=12S'C and V-s;VCMS;V-+O.IV, 10S';'S nA.
Note 6: This defines operation in floating applications such as the bootstrapped regulator or two-wire transmitter. Output is connected to the V+ terminal of the Ie
and input common mode is referred to V- (see typical applications). Effect of larger output-voltage swings with higher load resistance can be accounted for by
adding the positive-supply rejection error.
Note 7: Refer to RETStOX for LM10H military specifications.

Definition of Terms
Input offset Yoltage: That voltage which must be applied
between the input terminals to bias the unloaded output in
the linear region.

Supply-Yoltage rejection: The ratio of the specified supply-voltage change to the change in offset voltage between
the extremes.

Input offset current: The difference in the currents at the
input terminals when the unloaded output is in the linear
region.
Input bias current: The absolute value of the average of
the two input currents.

Line regulation: The average change in reference output
voltage over the specified supply voltage range.
Load regulation: The change in reference output voltage
from no load to that load specified.

Input resistance: The ratio of the change in input voltage to
the change in input current on either input with the other
grounded.

Feedback sense Yoltage: The voltage, referred to V-, on
the reference feedback terminal while operating in regulation.

Large signal Yoltage gain: The ratio of the specified output
voltage swing to the change in differential input voltage required to produce it.

Reference amplifier gain: The ratio of the specified reference output change to the change in feedback sense voltage required to produce it.

Shunt gain: The ratio of the specified output voltage swing
to the change in differential input voltage required to produce it with the output tied to the V+ terminal of the IC. The
load and power source are connected between the V+ and
V- terminals, and input common-mode is referred to the
V- terminal.

Feedback current: The absolute value of the current at the
feedback terminal when operating in regulation.
Supply current: The current required from the power
source to operate the amplifier and reference with their outputs unloaded and operating in the linear range.

Common-mode rejection: The ratio of the input voltage
range to the change in offset voltage between the extremes.

General Description

~ Semiconductor

r3:
......

The LMll is a precision dc amplifier combining the best
features of existing bipolar and FET op amps. It is similar to
the LM 1DBA, except that input currents have been reduced
by more than a factor of ten. Offset voltage and drift have
also been approved.

The LMll is internally compensated, but external compensation can be added for improved frequency stability, particularly with capacitive loads. Offset voltage balancing is also
provided, with the balance range determined by a low-resistance potentiometer.

Compared to FETs, the device provides inherently lower offset voltage and offset voltage drift, along with at least an
order of magnitude better long-term stability. Low frequency
noise is also somewhat reduced. Bias current is significantly
lower even under laboratory conditions, and its low drift
makes compensation practical. Offset current is almost unmeasureable. Although not as fast as FETs, it does have a
much lower power drain. This low dissipation has the added
advantage of eliminating warm up time in critical applications.

Otherwise, the device is the electrical equivalent of the
LM1 DB, except that the negative common-mode limit is O.BV
less, performance Is specified down to ±2.5V and the guaranteed output drive has been increased to ± 2 mAo The
input noise is somewhat higher, but amplifier noise is obscured by resistor noise with higher source resistances.

Typical characteristics for 25°C (-55°C to 12soCl are:
• offset voltage: 100 p.V (200 p.V)
• bias current: 25 pA (65 pAl
• offset current: 0.5 pA (3 pAl

r-

This monolithic IC has obviously applications as electrometer amplifiers, charge integrators, analog memories, low frequency active filters or for frequency shaping in slow servo
loops. It can be substituted for existing circuits to provide
improved performance or eliminate trimming operations.
The greater preCision can also be used to extend the dynamiC range of logarithmic amplifiers, light meters and sOlidstate particle detectors.
The LMll is manufactured with standard bipolar processing
using super-gain transistors.

• temperature drift: 1 p'vrc
• long-term stability: 10 p.V/year

Note 1: The Inputs are shunted with back·to·back diodes for overvoltage protection. Therefore, excessive current will flow If a differential Input voltage in excess of
1V is applied between the Inputs unless some limiting resistance is used. In addition, a 2 kO minimum resistance in each input Is advised to avoid possible latch up
inRiated by supply reversals.
Nole 2: The maximum operating-junction temperature Is 150'C for the LM11 and 85'C for Ihe LM11C(L). Devices must be derated at 150'C/W for the metal can
and 155'C/W lor the plastic DIP. The metal can has a thermal resistance of 45'C/W for the junction to case If a heat sink Is used.
Note 3: Current limiting protects the output when RIs shorted to ground or any voltage less than the supplies. With continuous ove~oads, package dissipation must
be taken into account and heat sinking provided when necessary.
Nole 4: These specifications apply for Y- + 2Y (I.SV) s: YCM s: y+ - 1V and ±2.5Y s: Ys s: ±20Y, unless otherwise specified. Normal typeface Indicates

Application Hints
tor connections. Problems can be avoided by keeping low
level circuitry away from heat generating elements. Mounting the IC directly to the PC board while keeping package
leads short and the input leads close together can also
help.
With the LM11 there is a temptation to remove the bias-current-compensation resistor normally used on the non inverting input of a summing amplifier. Direct connection of the
inputs to ground or a low-impedance voltage source is not
recommended with supply voltages greater than about 3V.
The potential problem involves reversal of one supply which
can cause excessive current in the second supply. Destruction of the IC could result if the output current of the second
supply is not limited to about 100 mA or if there is much
more than 1 /J-F bypass on the supply buss.
Just disconnecting one supply will generally involve reversal
because of loading to the other supply both within the IC
and in external Circuitry. Although difficulties can be largely
avoided by installing clamp diodes across the supply lines
on every PC board, a conservative design would include
enough resistance in the input lead to limit current to 1b mA
if the input lead is pulled to either supply by internal currents. This precaution is by no means limited to the LM11.

When working with circuitry capable of resolving picoam·
pere level signals, leakage currents in circuitry external to
the op amp can significantly degrade performance. High
quality insulation is a must (Kel-F and Teflon rate high).
Proper cleaning of all insulating surfaces to remove fluxes
and other residues is also required. This includes the IC
package as well as sockets and printed circuit boards.
When operating in high humidity environments or near O'C,
some form of surface coating may be necessary to provide
a moisture barrier.
The effects of board leakage can be minimized by encircling
the input circuitry with a conductive guard ring operated at a
potential close to that of the inputs. For critical applications,
dual-in-line packages are available that include input guard
pins.
Electrostatic shielding of high impedance circuitry is advisable.
Error voltages can also be generated in the external circuitry. Thermocouples formed between dissimilar metals can
cause hundreds of microvolts of error in the presence of
temperature gradients. The most troublesome thermocouples are the junction of the IC package and the printed circuit board (35 /J-V t=C for copper-kovar) and internal resis-

Application Hints (Continued)
Input Guarding
Input guarding can drastically reduce surface leakage. Layout for metal can is shown here. Guarding both sides of
board is required. Bulk leakage reduction is less and depends on guard ring width.

Input Protection
Current is limited by R2 even when input is connected to
voltage source outside common mode range. If one supply
reverses, current is controlled by R1. These resistors do not
affect normal operation.

transducer. Input resistance of 880 MO and gain of 10 is
obtained.

Equivalent feedback resistance is 10 GO, but only standard
resistors are used. Even though the offset voltage is multiplied by 100, output offset is actually reduced because error
is dependent on offset current rather than bias current. Voltage on summing junction is less than 5 mV.

Differential Amplifiers
This differential amplifier handles high input voltages. Resistor mismatches and stray capacitors should be balanced
out for best common-mode rejection.

Two op-amp instrumentation amplifier has poor ac common
mode rejection. This can be improved at the expense of
differential bandwidth with C2.

LM 12 (L/C/CL) 150W Operational Amplifier
General Description

The LM12 is a power op amp capable of driving ±35Vat
±10A while operating from ±40V supplies. The monolithic
IC can deliver 150W of sine wave power into a 40 load with
0.Q1 % distortion. Power bandwidth is 60 kHz. Further, a
peak dissipation capability of 800W allows it to handle reactive loads such as transducers, actuators or small motors
without derating. Important features include:
• input protection
• controlled turn on
• thermal limiting
• overvoltage shutdown
• output-current limiting
• dynamic safe-area protection
The IC delivers ± 1OA output current at any output voltage
yet is completely protected against overloads, including
shorts to the supplies. The dynamic safe-area protection is
provided by instantaneous peak-temperature limiting within
the power transistor array.
The turn-on characteristics are controlled by keeping the
output open-circuited until the total supply voltage reaches
14V. The output is also opened as the case temperature

exceeds 150"C or as the supply voltage approaches the
BVCEO of the output transistors. The IC withstands overvoltages to 100V.
This monolithic op amp is compensated for unity·gain feedback, with a small-signal bandwidth of 700 kHz. Slew rate is
9V1 p.s, even as a follower. Distortion and capacitive-load
stability rival that of the best designs using complementary
output transistors. Further, the IC withstands large differential input voltages and is well behaved should the commonmode range be exceeded.
The LMt2 establishes that monolithic ICs can deliver considerable output power without resorting to complex switching schemes. Devices can be paralleled or bridged for even
greater output capability. Applications include operational
power supplies, high-voltage regulators, high-quality audio
amplifiers, tape-head positioners, x-y plotters or other servo-control systems.
.
The LM12 is supplied in a four-lead, TO-3 package with Von the case. A gOld-eutectic die-attach to a molybdenum
interface is used to avoid thermal fatigue problems. Two
voltage grades are available; both are specified for either
military or commercial temperature range.

Note 2. Operating iunction temperature is internally limited near 225"C within the power transistor and 160'C for the control circuitry.
Note 3. The supply voltage Is ±40V (VMAX = BOV) for the LM12/LM12C and ±30V (VMAX = 60V) for the LMI2L/LMI2CL. unless otherwise speCified. The

Note 4. This thenmal resistance is based upon a peak temperature of 200'C in the center of the power transistor and a case temperature of 25'C measured at the
center of the package bottom. The maximum junction temperature of the control circuitry can be estimated based upon a de thermal resistance of O.!1'C/W or an ac
thermal resistance of 0.6'C/W for any operating voltage.
Although the output and supply leads are resistant to electrostatic discharges from handling, the Input leads are not.
The part should be treated accordingly.

Application Information
The current in the supply leads is a rectified component of
the load current. If adequate bypassing is not provided, this
distorted signal can be fed back into internal Circuitry. Low
distortion at high frequencies requires that the supplies be
bypassed with 470 fLF or more, at the package terminals.

GENERAL
Twenty five years ago the operational amplifier was a specialized design tool used primarily for analog computation.
However, the availability of low cost IC op amps in the late
1960's prompted their use in rather mundane applications,
replacing a few discrete components. Once a few basic
principles are mastered, op amps can be used to give exceptionally good results in a wide range of applications
while minimizing both cost and deSign effort.
The availability of a monolithic power op amp now promises
to extend these advantages to high-power designs. Some
conventional applications are given here to illustrate op amp
design principles as they relate to power circuitry. The inevitable fall in prices, as the economies of volume production
are realized, will prompt their use in applications that might
now seem trivial. Replacing single power transistors with an
op amp will become economical because of improved performance, simplification of attendant circuitry, vastly improved fault protection, greater reliability and the reduction
of design time.
Power op amps introduce new factors into the design equation. With current transients above 10A, both the inductance
and resistance of wire interconnects become important in a
number of ways. Further, power ratings are a crucial factor
in determining performance. But the power capability of the
IC cannot be realized unless it is properly mounted to an
adequate heat sink. Thus, thermal deSign is of major importance with power op amps.
This application summary starts off by identifying the origin
of strange problems observed while using the LM12 in a
wide variety of designs with all sorts of fault conditions. A
few simple precautions will eliminate these problems. One
would do well to read the section on supply bypassing,
lead Inductance, output clamp diodes, ground loops
and reactive loading before doing any experimentation.
Should there be problems with erratic operation, blowouts, excessive distortion or oscillation, another look at
these sections Is in order.
The management and protection circuitry can also affect
operation. Should the total supply voltage exceed ratings or
drop below 15-20V, the op amp shuts off completely. Case
temperatures above 150'C also cause shut down until the
temperature drops to 145'C. This may take several seconds, depending on the thermal system. Activation of the
dynamic safe-area protection causes both the main feedback loop to lose control and a reduction in output power,
with possible oscillations. In ac applications, the dynamic
protection will cause waveform distortion. Since the LM 12 is
well protected against thermal overloads, the suggestions
for determining power dissipation and heat sink requirements are presented last.

LEAD INDUCTANCE
With ordinary op amps, lead-inductance problems are usually restricted to supply bypassing. Power op amps are also
sensitive to inductance in the output lead, particularly with
heavy capacitive loading. Feedback to the input should be
taken directly from the output terminal, minimizing common
inductance with the load. Sensing to a remote load must be
accompanied by a high-frequency feedback path directly
from the output terminal. Lead inductance can also cause
voltage surges on the supplies. With long leads to the power
source, energy stored in the lead inductance when the output is shorted can be dumped back into the supply bypass
capaCitors when the short is removed. The magnitude of
this transient is reduced by increasing the size of the bypass
capaCitor near the IC. With 20 fLF local bypass, these voltage surges are important only if the lead length exceeds a
couple feet (> 1 fLH lead inductance). Twisting together the
supply and ground leads minimizes the effect.
GROUND LOOPS
With fast, high-current circuitry, all sorts of problems can
arise from improper grounding. In general, difficulties can be
avoided by returning all grounds separately to a common
point. Sometimes this is impractical. When compromising,
special attention should be paid to the ground returns for
the supply bypasses, load and input signal. Ground planes
also help to provide proper grounding.
Many problems unrelated to system performance can be
traced to the grounding of line-operated test equipment
used for system checkout. Hidden paths are particularly difficult to sort out when several pieces of test eqUipment are
used but can be minimized by using current probes or the
new isolated oscilloscope pre-amplifiers. Eliminating any direct ground connection between the Signal generator and
the oscilloscope synchronization input solves one common
problem.
OUTPUT CLAMP DIODES
When a push-pull amplifier goes into power limit while driving an inductive load, the stored energy in the load inductance can drive the output outside the supplies. Although
the LM 12 has internal clamp diodes that can handle several
amperes for a few milliseconds, extreme conditions can
cause destruction of the IC. The internal clamp diodes are
imperfect in that about half the clamp current flows into the
supply to which the output is clamped while the other half
flows across the supplies. Therefore, the use of external
diodes to clamp the output to the power supplies is strongly
recommended. This is particularly important with higher supply voltages.
Experience has demonstrated that hard-wire shorting the
output to the supplies can induce random failures if these
external clamp diodes are not used and the supply voltages
are above ± 20V. Therefore it is prudent to use output-

SUPPLY BYPASSING
All op amps should have their supply leads bypassed with
low-inductance capaCitors having short leads and located
close to the package terminals to avoid spurious oscillation
problems. Power op amps require larger bypass capacitors.
The LM12 is stable with good-quality electrolytic bypass capaCitors greater than 20 fLF. Other considerations may require larger capaCitors.

clamp diodes even when the load is not particularly inductive. This also applies to experimental setups in that blowouts have been observed when diodes were not used. In
packaged equipment, it may be possible to eliminate these
diodes, providing that fault conditions can be controlled.

The LM12 can be made stable for all loads with a large
capaCitor on the output, as shown above. This compensation gives the lowest possible closed-loop output impedance at high frequencies and the best load-transient response. It is appropriate for such applications as voltage
regulators.
A feedback capaCitor, C1, is connected directly to the output
pin of the IC. The output capaCitor, C2, is connected at the
output terminal with short leads. Single-point grounding to
avoid dc and ac ground loops is advised.

TL/H/8704-6

Heat sinking of the clamp diodes is usually unimportant in
that they only clamp current transients. Forward drop with
15A fault transients is of greater- concern. Usually, these
transients die out rapidly. The clamp to the negative supply
can have somewhat reduced effectiveness under worst
case conditions should the forward drop exceed 1.0V.
Mounting this diode to the power op amp heat sink improves
the situation. Although the need has only been demonstrated with some motor loads, including a third diode (03
above) will eliminate any concern about the clamp diodes.
This diode, however, must be capable of dissipating continuous power as determined by the negative supply current of
the op amp.

The impedance, Zl, is the wire connecting the op amp output to the load capacitor. About 3-inches of number-1B wire
(70 nH) gives good stability and 1B-inches (400 nH) begins
to degrade load-transient response. The minimum load capaCitance is 47 ,..F, if a solid-tantalum capaCitor with an
equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 0.10 is used. Electrolytic capaCitors work as well, although capacitance may
have to be increased to 200 ,..F to bring ESR below 0.10.
Loop stability is not the only concern when op amps are
operated with reactive loads. With time-varying Signals,
power diSSipation can also increase markedly. This is particularly true with the combination of capacitive loads and
high-frequency excitation.

REACTIVE LOADING
The LM12 is normally stable with resistive, inductive or
smaller capacitive loads. Larger capacitive loads interact
with the open-loop output resistance (about 10) to reduce
the phase margin of the feedback loop, ultimately causing
oscillation. The critical capaCitance depends upon the feedback applied around the amplifier; a unity-gain follower can
handle about 0.01 ,..F, while more than 1 ,..F does not cause
problems if the loop gain is ten. With loop gains greater than
unity, a speedup capacitor across the feedback resistor will
aid stability. In all cases, the op amp will behave predictably
only if the supplies are properly bypassed, ground loops are
controlled and high-frequency feedback is derived directly
from the output terminal, as recommended earlier.
So-called capacitive loads are not always capacitive. A
high-Q capacitor in combination with long leads can present
a series-resonant load to the op amp. In practice, this is not
usually a problem; but the situation should be kept in mind.

INPUT COMPENSATION
The LM12 is prone to low-amplitude oscillation bursts coming out of saturation if the high-frequency loop gain is near
unity. The voltage follower connection is most susceptible.
This glitching can be eliminated at the expense of smail-signal bandwidth using input compensation. Input compensation can also be used in combination with LR load isolation
to improve capacitive load stability.

Large capacitive loads (including series-resonant) can be
accommodated by isolating the feedback amplifier from the
load as shown above. The inductor gives low output impedance at lower frequencies while providing an isolating impedance at high frequencies. The resistor kills the Q of series resonant circuits formed by capacitive loads. A low inductance, carbon-composition resistor is recommended.
Optimum values of Land R depend upon the feedback gain

An example of a voltage follower with input compensation is
shown here. The R2C2 combination across the input works
with R1 to reduce feedback at high frequencies without
greatly affecting response below 100 kHz. A lead capaCitor,
C1, improves phase margin at the unity-gain crossover frequency. Proper operation requires that the output impedance of the circuitry driving the follower be well under 1 kO
at frequencies up to a few hundred kilohertz.

External current limit can be provided for a power op amp as shown above. The positive and negative current limits can be set

SERVO AMPLIFIERS
When making servo systems with a power op amp, there is
a temptation to use it for frequency shaping to stabilize the
servo loop. Sometimes this works; other times there are
better ways; and occaSionally it just doesn't fly. Usually it's a
matter of how quickly and to what accuracy the servo must
stabilize.

angle of ZL. Equivalent pulse width is tON '" 0.4'1" for 0 = 0
and tON'" 0.2'1" for 0 ~ 20·, where 'I" is the period of the
output waveform.

If there is ripple on the supply bus, it is valid to use the
average value in worst-case calculations as long as the
peak rating of the power transistor is not exceeded at the
ripple peak. With 120 Hz ripple, this is 1.5 times the continuous power rating.

DISSIPATION DRIVING MOTORS
A motor with a locked rotor looks like an inductance in series with a resistance, for purposes of determining driver
dissipation. With slow-response servos, the maximum signal
amplitude at frequencies where motor inductance is significant can be so small that motor inductance does not have
to be taken into account. If this is the case, the motor can
be treated as a simple, resistive load as long as the rotor
speed is low enough that the back emf· is small by comparison to the supply voltage of the driver transistor.

Dissipation requirements are not so easily established with
time varying output signals, especially with reactive loads.
Both peak and continuous dissipation ratings must be taken
into account, and these depend on the signal waveform as
well as load characteristics.
With a sine wave output, analysis is fairly straightforward.

dissipation of both output transistors is

A permanent-magnet motor can build up a back emf that is
equal to the output swing of the op amp driving it. Reversing
this motor from full speed requires the output drive transistor to operate, initially, along a loadline based upon the motor resistance and total supply voltage. Worst case, this
loadline will have to be within the continuous dissipation
rating of the drive transistor; but system dynamics may permit taking advantage of the higher pulse ratings. Motor inductance can cause added stress if system response is
fast.
Shunt- and series-wound motors can generate back emf's
that are considerably more than the total supply voltage,
resulting in even higher peak dissipation than a permanentmagnet motor having the same locked-rotor resistance.

The pass transistor dissipation of a voltage regulator is easily determined in the operating mode. Maximum continuous
dissipation occurs with high line voltage and maximum load
current. As discussed earlier, ripple voltage can be averaged if peak ratings are not exceeded; however, a higher
average voltage will be required to insure that the pass transistor does not saturate at the ripple minimum.

Conditions during start-up can be more complex. If the input
voltage increases slowly such that the regulator does not go
into current limit charging output capacitance, there are no
problems. If not, load capacitance and load characteristics
must be taken into account. This is also the case if automatic restart is required in recovering from overloads.
Automatic restart or start-up with fast-rising input voltages
cannot be guaranteed unless the continuous dissipation rating of the pass transistor is adequate to supply the load
current continuously at all voltages below the regulated output voltage. In this regard, the LM12 performs much better
than IC regulators using foldback current limit, especially
with high-line input voltage above 20V.

Should the power ratings of the LM12 be exceeded, dynamic safe-area protection is activated. Waveforms with this
power limiting are shown for the LM12 driving ± 36V at
40 Hz into 40. in series with 24 mH (/I = 45"). With an
inductive load, the output clamps to the supplies in power
limit, as above. With resistive loads, the output voltage
drops in limit. Behavior with more complex RCL loads is
between these extremes.
Secondary thermal limit is activated should the case temperature exceed 150'C. This thermal limit shuts down the IC
completely (open output) until the case temperature drops
to about 145'C. Recovery may take several seconds.

POWER SUPPLIES
Power op amps do not require regulated supplies. However,
the worst-case output power is determined by the low-line
supply voltage in the ripple trough. The worst-case power
dissipation is established by the average supply voltage with
high-line conditions. The loss in power output that can be
guaranteed is the square of the ratio of these two voltages.
Relatively Simple off-line switching power supplies can provide voltage conversion, line isolation and 5-percent regulation while reducing size and weight.
The regulation against ripple and line variations can provide
a substantial increase in the power output that can be guaranteed under worst-case conditions. In addition, switching
power supplies can convert low-voltage power sources
such as automotive batteries up to regulated, dual, highvoltage supplies optimized for powering power op amps.

HEAT SINKING
A semiconductor manufacturer has no control over heat
sink deSign. Temperature rating can only be based upon

The design of heat sink is beyond the scope of this work.
Convection-cooled heat sinks are available commercially,
and their manufacturers should be consulted for ratings.
The preceding figure is a rough guide for temperature rise
as a function of fin area (both sides) available for convection
cooling.
Proper mounting of the IC is required to minimize the thermal drop between the package and the heat sink. The heat
sink must also have enough metal under the package to
conduct heat from the center of the package bottom to the
fins without excessive temperature drop.
A thermal grease such as Wakefield type 120 or Thermalloy
Thermacote should be used when mounting the package to
the heat sink. Without this compound, thermal resistance
will be no better than 0.5'C/W, and probably much worse.
With the compound, thermal resistance will be 0.2'C/W or
less, assuming under 0.005 inch combined flatness runout
for the package and heat sink. Proper torquing of the
mounting bolts is important. Four to six inch-pounds is recommended.
Should it be necessary to isolate V- from the heat sink, an
insulating washer is required. Hard washers like berylium
oxide, anodized aluminum and mica require the use of thermal compound on both faces. Two-mil mica washers are
most common, giving about O.4'C/W interface resistance
with the compound. Silicone-rubber washers are also available. A 0.5'C/W thermal resistance is claimed without thermal compound. Experience has shown that these rubber
washers deteriorate and must be replaced should the IC be
dismounted.

with a single 30 pF capacitor. It has advantages over internally compensated amplifiers in that the frequency compensation can be tailored to the particular application. For example, in low frequency circuits it can be overcompensated
for increased stability margin. Or the compensation can be
optimized to give more than a factor of ten improvement in
high frequency performance for most applications.
In addition, the device provides better accuracy and lower
noise in high impedance circuitry. The low input currents
also make it particularly well suited for long interval integrators or timers, sample and hold circuits and low frequency
waveform generators. Further, replacing circuits where
matched transistor pairs buffer the inputs of conventionallC
op amps, it can give lower offset voltage and a drift at a
lower cost.
The LM101A is guaranteed over a temperature range of
- 55'C to + 125'C, the LM201 A from - 25'C to + 85'C,
and the LM301A from O'C to +70'C.

Isolating Large Capacitive Loads

TL/H/7752-2B

Although the LM101A is designed for trouble free operation,
experience has indicated that it is wise to observe certain
precautions given below to protect the devices from abnormal operating conditions. It might be pOinted out that the
advice given here is applicable to practically any Ie op amp,
although the exact reason why may differ with different devices.

Precautions should be taken to insure that the power supplies for the integrated circuit never become reversedeven under transient conditions. With reverse voltages
greater than 1V, the IC will conduct excessive current, fusing internal aluminum Interconnects. If there is a possibility
of this happening, clamp diodes with a high peak current
rating should be installed on the supply lines. Reversal of
the voltage between V+ and V- will always cause a problem, although reversals with respect to ground may also
give difficulties in many circuits.
The minimum values given for the frequency compensation
capacitor are stable only for source resistances less than
10 kO, stray capacitances on the summing junction less
than 5 pF and capacitive loads smaller than 100 pF. If any
of these conditions are not met, it becomes necessary to
overcompensate the amplifier with a larger compensation
capacitor. Alternately, lead capacitors can be used in the
feedback network to negate the effect of stray capacitance
and large feedback resistors or an RC network can be added to isolate capacitive loads.

When driving either input from a low-impedance source, a
limiting resistor should be placed in series with the input
lead to limit the peak instantaneous output current of the
source to something less than 100 mA. This is especially
important when the inputs go outside a piece of equipment
where they could accidentally be connected to high voltage
sources. Large capacitors on the input (greater than 0.1 /LF)
should be treated as a low source impedance and isolated
with a resistor. Low impedance sources do not cause a
problem unless their output voltage exceeds the supply voltage. However, the supplies go to zero when they are turned
off, so the isolation is usually needed.
The output circuitry is protected against damage from shorts
to ground. However, when the amplifier output is connected
to a test point, it should be isolated by a limiting resistor, as
test pOints frequently get shorted to bad places. Further,
when the amplifer drives a load external to the equipment, it
is also advisable to use some sort of limiting resistance to
preclude mishaps.

Although the LM101A is relatively unaffected by supply bypassing, this cannot be ignored altogether. Generally it is
necessary to bypass the supplies to ground at least once on
every circuit card, and more bypass points may be required
if more than five amplifiers are used. When feed-forward
compensation is employed, however, it is advisable to bypass the supply leads of each amplifier with low inductance
capacitors because of the higher frequencies involved.

General Description

<:)

The LM108 series are precision operational amplifiers having specifications a factor of ten better than FET amplifiers
over a - SS·C to + 12S·C temperature range.
The devices operate with supply voltages from ± 2V to
± 20V and have sufficient supply rejection to use unregulated supplies. Although the circuit is interchangeable with and
uses the same compensation as the LM101A, an alternate
compensation scheme can be used to make it particularly
insensitive to power supply noise and to make supply bypass capacitors unnecessary.
The low current error of the LM108 series makes possible
many designs that are not practical with conventional amplifiers. In fact, it operates from 10 Mfl source resistances,

introducing less error than devices like the 709 with 10 kfl
sources. Integrators with drifts less than SOO p.V/sec and
analog time delays in excess of one hour can be made using capacitors no larger than 1 p.F.
The LM108 is guaranteed from -SS·C to + 125·C, the
LM208 from - 2S·C to + 8S·C, and the LM308 from O·C to
+70·C.

features
III Maximum input bias current of 3.0 nA over temperature

Nole I: The maximum junction lemperalure of the LMI 08 is 150"C, for the LM208, 100·C and for the LM308, 85·C. For operating at elevated lemperatures, devices
in the HOB package must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 16frC/W, junction to ambient, or 20°C/W, junction to case. The thermal resistance of the
dual·in·line package is 100"C/W. junction to ambient.
Note 2: The inputs are shunted with back-ta-back diodes for Qvervoltage protection. Therefore, excessive current will flow if a differential input voltage in excess of
1V is applied between the inputs unless some limiting resistance is used.

Nole 3: For supply voltages less than ± 15V, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal

to the supply voltage.

Nole 4: These specifications apply for ±5V ,; Vs ,; +20Vand -55·C ,; TA ,; + I 25·C, unless otherwise specified. With the LM208, however, ali temperature
specifications are limited to - 25·C ,; TA ,; 85·C, and for the LM308 Ihey are limited 10 O·C ,; TA ,; 70·C.
Nole 5: Refer to RETSI08X for LMI08 military specifications.

LM 108A/LM208A/LM308A Operational Amplifiers
General Description
The LM108/LM108A series are precision operational amplifiers having specifications about a factor of ten better than
FET amplifiers over their operating temperature range. In
addition to low input currents, these devices have extremely
low offset voltage, making it possible to eliminate offset adjustments, in most cases, and obtain performance approaching chopper stabilized amplifiers.
The devices operate with supply voltages from ± 2V to
±18V and have sufficient supply rejection to use unregulated supplies. Although the circuit is interchangeable with and
uses the same compensation as the LM101A, an alternate
compensation scheme can be used to make it particularly
insensitive to power supply noise and to make supply bypass capacitors unnecessary.
The low current error of the LM108A series makes possible
many designs that are not practical with conventional amplifiers. In fact, it operates from 10 Mfl source resistances,

introducing less error than devices like the 709 with 10 kfl
sources. Integrators with drifts less than 500 p,V/sec and
analog time delays in excess of one hour can be made using capacitors no larger than 1 p,F.
The LM208A is identical to the LM108A, except that the
LM208A has its performance guaranteed over a -25'G to
+85'G temperature range, instead of -55'C to + 125'C.
The LM308A devices have slightly-relaxed specifications
and performances over a O'G to + 70'G temperature range.

Application Hints
A very low drift amplifier poses some uncommon application
and testing problems. Many sources of error can cause the
apparent circuit drift to be much higher than would be predicted.

Resistors can cause other errors besides gradient generated voltages. If the gain setting resistors do not track with
temperature a gain error will result. For example, a gain of
1000 amplifier with a constant 10 mV input will have a 10V
output. If the resistors mistrack by 0.5% over the operating
temperature range, the error at the output is 50 mY. Referred to input, this is a 50 p.V error. All of the gain fixing
resistor should be the same material.
Testing low drift amplifiers is also difficult. Standard drift
testing technique such as heating the device in an oven and
having the leads available through a connector, thermoprobe, or the soldering iron method-do not work. Thermal
gradients cause much greater errors than the amplifier drift.
Coupling microvolt signal through connectors is especially
bad since the temperature difference across the connector
can be 50·C or more. The device under test along with the
gain setting resistor should be isothermal.

Thermocouple effects caused by temperature gradient
across dissimilar metals are perhaps the worst offenders.
Only a few degrees gradient can cause hundreds of microvolts of error. The two places this shows up, generally, are
the package-to-printed circuit board interface and temperature gradients across resistors. Keeping package leads
short and the two input leads close together helps greatly.
Resistor choice as well as physical placement is important
for minimizing thermocouple effects. Carbon, oxide film and
some metal film resistors can cause large thermocouple errors. Wirewound resistors of evanohm or manganin are best
since they only generate about 2 p.V I·C referenced to copper. Of course, keeping the resistor ends at the same temperature is important. Generally, shielding a low drift stage
electrically and thermally will yield good results.

:l General Description
The LM112 series are micropower operational amplifiers
with very low offset-voltage and input-current errors-at
least a factor of ten better than FET amplifiers over a
-55·C to + 125·C temperature range. Similar to the LM108
series, that also use supergain transistors, they differ in that
they include internal frequency compensation and have provisions for offset adjustment with a single potentiometer.

known to suffer catastrophic failure caused by short-duration overvoltage spikes on the supplies. Unlike other internally-compensated Ie amplifiers, it is possible to overcompensate with an external capacitor to increase stability margin.
The LM212 is identical to the LM112, except that the LM212
has its performance guaranteed over a - 25·C to + 85·C
temperature range instead of - 55·C to + 125·C. The
LM312 is guaranteed over a O·C to +70·C temperature
range.

These amplifiers will operate on supply voltages of ± 2V to
±20V, drawing a quiescent current of only 300 pA Performance is not appreciably affected over this range of voltages, so operation from unregulated power sources is easily
accomplished. They can also be run from a single supply
like the 5V used for digital circuits.

General Description
The LM118 series are precision high speed operational amplifiers designed for applications requiring wide bandwidth
and high slew rate. They feature a factor of ten increase in
speed over general purpose devices without sacrificing DC
performance.
The LM118 series has internal unity gain frequency compensation. This considerably simplifies its application since
no external components are necessary for operation. However, unlike most internally compensated amplifiers, external frequency compensation may be added for optimum
performance. For inverting applications, feedforward compensation will boost the slew rate to over 150V/ ",s and almost double the bandwidth. Overcompensation can be
used with the amplifier for greater stability when maximum
bandwidth is not needed. Further, a single capacitor can be
added to reduce the 0.1 % settling time to under 1 "'S.
The high speed and fast settling time of these op amps
make them useful in AID converters, oscillators, active fil-

ters, sample and hold circuits, or general purpose amplifiers.
These devices are easy to apply and offer an order of magnitude better AC performance than industry standards such
as the LMl09.
The LM218 is identical to the LM118 except that the LM218
has its performance specified over a - 25·C to + 85·C temperature range. The LM318 is specified from O·C to + lO·C.

Nole 1: The maximum junction temperature of the LMI18 is 150"C, the LM218 is II O"C, and the LM318 is II O"C. For operating at elevated temperatures, devices
in the H08 package must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 160"C/W, junclion to ambient, or 20'C/W, junction to case. The thermal resistance of the
dual·in·line package is 100'C/W, junclion to ambient.
Note 2: The inputs are shunted with back-to·back diodes for overvoltage protection. Therefore, excessive current will flow if a differential input voltage in excess of
1V is applied between the inputs unless some limiting resistance is used.

Nole 3: For supply voltages less than ± 15V. the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply voltage.
Nole 4: These specifications apply for ±5V,;; Vs ,;; ±20Vand -55'C,;; TA';; + 125'C (LMI18), -25"C ,;; TA ,;; + 85'C (LM218), and O"C';; TA';; +70"C

(LM318). Also, power supplies must be bypassed with 0.1 "F disc capaCitors.
Nole 5: Slew rate is tested w~h Vs = ±15V. The LMI18 is in a unity·gain non.inverting configuration. VIN is stepped from -7.5V to +7.5V and vice versa. The
slew rales between - 5.0V and + 5.0V and vice versa are tested and guaranteed to exceed 50V I"s.
Nole 6: Refer to RETSI18X for LMI18H and LMI18J-8 military specifications.

LM 124/LM224/LM324, LM 124A/LM224A/LM324A,
LM2902 Low Power Quad Operational Amplifiers
General Description

Advantages

The LM 124 series consists of four independent, high gain,
internally frequency compensated operational amplifiers
which were designed specifically to operate from a single
power supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation from
split power supplies is also possible and the low power supply current drain is independent of the magnitude of the
power supply Voltage.

• Eliminates need for dual supplies
II Four internally compensated op amps in a Single
package
• Allows directly sensing near GND and VOUT also goes
toGND
• Compatible with all forms of logic
• Power drain suitable for battery operation

Application areas include transducer amplifiers, DC gain
blocks and all the conventional op amp circuits which now
can be more easily implemented in single power supply systems. For example, the LM124 series can be directly operated off of the standard +5 Voc power supply voltage which
is used in digital systems and will easily provide the required
interface electronics without requiring the additional
± 15 Voc power supplies.

Unique Characteristics
• In the linear mode the input common-mode voltage
range includes ground and the output voltage can also
swing to ground, even though operated from only a single power supply voltage.
• The unity gain cross frequency is temperature
compensated.
II The input bias current is also temperature
compensated.

Note 1: For operating at high temperatures, the LM324/LM324A. LM2902 must be derated based on a + 12S"C maximum junction temperature and a thermal resistance of 88"C/W which applies for the device soldered in a printed
circuit board, operating in a still air ambient. The LM224JLM224A and LM124/LM124A can be derated based on a + 150°C maximum junction temperature. The dissipation is the total of all four amplifiers-use external resistors,
where possible, to allow the amplifier to saturate of to reduce the power which is dissipated in the integrated circuit.

Note 2: Short circuits from the output to V+ can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction. When considering short circuits to ground, the maximum output current is approximately 40 rnA independent of the magnitude of
V+. At values of supply voltage in excess of + 15 VDC. continuous short-circuits can exceed the power dissipation ratings and cause eventual destruction. Destructive dissipation can result from simultaneoUs shorts on all amplifiers.
Note 3: This input current will only exist when the voltage at any of the input leads is driven negative. It is due to the collector-base junction of the input PNP transistors becoming forward biased and thereby acting as input diode
clamps. In addition to this diode action, there is also lateral NPN parasitic transistor action on the IC Chip. This transistor action can cause the output voltages of the op amps to go to the V+ voltage level (or to ground for a large
overdrive) for the time duration that an input is driven negative. This is not destructive and normal output states will re-establish when the input voltage. which was negative, again returns to a value greater than -0.3 VOC (at 25°C).
Note 4: These speCifications are limited to -55°C" TA " + 125°C for the LM124/LM124A. With the LM224/LM224A, all temperature specifications are limited to -25°C" TA " +B5°C, the LM324/LM324A temperature

Note 6: The direction of the input current is out of the

Ie due to the PNP input stage. This current is essentially constant, independent of the state of the output so no loading change exists on the input lines.

Note 7: The input common-mode voltage of either input signal voltage should not be allowed to go negative by more than 0.3V (at 25°C). The upper end of the common-mode voltage range is V+ - 1.5V (at 25°C), but either or both
inputs can go to +32 Voc without damage (+26 VOC for LM2902), independent of the magnitude of V+.

Application Hints
The LM124 series are op amps which operate with only a
single power supply voltage, have true-differential inputs,
and remain in the linear mode with an input common-mode
voltage of 0 Voc- These amplifiers operate over a wide
range of power supply voltage with lillie change in performance characteristics. At 25'C amplifier operation is possible
down to a minimum supply voltage of 2.3 Voc.
The pinouts of the package have been designed to simplify
PC board layouts. Inverting inputs are adjacent to outputs
for all of the amplifiers and the outputs have also been
placed at the comers of the package (pins 1, 7, 8, and 14).
Precautions should be taken to insure that the power supply
for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity
or thatthe unit is not inadvertently installed backwards in a
test socket as an unlimited current surge through the resulting forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of the
internal conductors and result in a destroyed unit.
'

Where the load is directly coupled, as in dc applications,
there is no crossover distortion.
Capacitive loads which are applied directly to the output of
the amplifier reduce the loop stability margin. Values of
50 pF .can be accommodated using the worst-case non-inverting unity gain connection. Large closed loop gains or
resistive isolation should be used if larger load capaCitance
must be driven by the amplifier.
The bias network of the LM124 establishes a drain current
which is independent of the magnitude of the power supply
voltage over the range of from 3 Voc to 30 Voc.
Output short circuits either to ground or to the positive power supply should be of short time duration. Units can be
destroyed, not as a result of the short circuit current causing
metal fusing, but rather due to the large increase in IC chip
dissipation which will cause eventual failure due to excessive junction temperatures. Pulling direct short-circuits on
more than one amplifier at a time will increase the total IC
power dissipation to destructive levels, if not properly protected with external dissipation limiting resistors in series
with the output leads of the amplifiers. The larger value of
output source current which is available at 25'C provides a
larger output current capability at elevated temperatures
(see typical performance characteristics) than a standard IC
opamp.
The circuits presented in the section on typical applications
emphasize operation on only a single power supply voltage.
If complementary power supplies are available, all of the
standard op amp circuits can be used. In general, introducing a pseudo-ground (a bias voltage reference of V+ 12) will
allow operation above and below this value in Single power
supply systems. Many application circuits are shown which
take advantage of the wide input common-mode voltage
range which includes ground. In most cases, input biasing is
not required and input voltages which range to ground can
easily be accommodated.

Large differential input voltages can be easily accommodated and, as input differential voltage protection diodes are
not needed, no large input currents result from large differential input voltages. The differential input voltage may be
larger than V+ without damaging the device .. Protection
should be provided to prevent the input voltages from gOing
negative more than -0.3 Voc (at 25'C). An input clamp
diode with a resistor to the IC input terminal can be used.
To reduce the power supply drain, the amplifiers have a
class A output stage for small signal levels which converts
to class B in a large signal mode. This allows the amplifiers
to both source and sink large output currents. Therefore
both NPN and PNPextemal current boost transistors can
be used to extend the power capability of the basic amplifiers. The output voltage needs to raise approximately 1 diode drop above ground to bias the on-Chip vertical PNP
transistor for output current sinking applications.
For ac applications, where the load is capacitively coupled
to the output of the amplifier, a resistor should be used, from
the output of the amplifier to ground to increase the class A
bias current and prevent crossover distortion.

LM143/LM343 High Voltage
Operational Amplifier
General Description

Features

The LM143 is a general purpose high voltage operational
amplifier featuring operation to ±40V, complete input overvoltage protection up to ± 40V and input currents comparable to those of other super-/:l op amps. Increased slew rate,
together with higher common-mode and supply rejection,
insure improved performance at high supply voltages. Operating characteristics, in particular supply current, slew rate
and gain, are virtually independent of supply voltage and
temperature. Furthermore, gain is unaffected by output
loading at high supply voltages due to thermal symmetry on
the die. The LM143 is pin compatible with general purpose
op amps and has offset null capability.
Application areas include those of general purpose op
amps, but can be extended to higher voltages and higher
output power when externally boosted. For example, when
used in audio power applications, the LM143 provides a
power bandwidth that covers the entire audio spectrum. In
addition, the LM143 can be reliably operated in environments with large overvoltage spikes on the power supplies,
where other internally-compensated op amps would suffer
catastrophic failure.
The LM343 is similar to the LM143 for applications in less
severe supply voltage and temperature environments.

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings are not necessarily concurrent, and care must be taken not to exceed the maximum junclion temperature of the LMl43 (l50"C)
or the LM343 (l00"C). For operating at elevated temperatures, devices in the HOB package must be derated based on a thermal resistance of lSS"C/W, junction to
ambient, or 2C1'C/W, junction to case.
Note 2: For supply voltage less than ±40V for the LM143 and less than ±34V for the LM343, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply voltage.
Note 3: These specifications apply forVs = ±2BV. For LM143, TA = max = 12S'C and TA = min = -SS·C. For LM343, TA = max = 7C1'C andTA = min =
O"C.
Note 4: Refar to RETSl43X for LMl43H and LM1S36H military specifications.
Note 5: The maximum supply currents are guaranteed at Vs = ±40V for the LM143 and Vs = ±34V for the LM343.

.... LM 144/LM344 High Voltage, High Slew Rate Operational
Amplifier
General Description
The LM144 is a general purpose high voltage, uncompensated operational amplifier featuring operation to ±36V,
complete input overvoltage protection up to the supply voltages and input currents comparable to those of other super{3 op amps. Increased slew rate, together with high common-mode and supply rejection, insure excellent performance at high supply voltages. Operating characteristics, in
particular supply current, slew rate and gain, are virtually
independent of supply voltage and temperature. Furthermore, due to thermal symmetry on the die, gain is unaffected by output loading at high supply voltages.
With the unique advantages of low input current, high gain,
and high slew rate, the LM144 can increase accuracy and
useful frequency range in many existing applications. For
example, the LM144 is a plug-in replacement for the
LM101A, as well as other general purpose op amps.
The LMl44 can be compensated with a single capacitor,
thus giving the user the ability to optimize ac parameters to
suit the application. For example, in applications such as
audio power amplifiers, the LM144 with a gain of 10 can
provide a ± 30V output swing, a slew rate of approximately
30V I ,,"S, and a 120 kHz full power bandwidth.

In applications where capacitive loads or cables must be
driven, the LM144 can be overcompensated for increased
stability.
The LM344 is similar to the LM144 for applications in less
severe supply voltage and temperature environments.

Note 1: The maximum junction temperature of the LM 144 is ISO"C, while that of the LM344 is IOO'C. For operating at elevated temperatures, devices in the H06
package must be derated based on a thermal resistance of ISO"C/W, junction to ambient, or 20"C/W, junction to case.
Note 2: For supply voltage less than ± 40V for the LMI44 and less than ± 34V for the LM344, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply voltage.
Note 3: These specifications apply forVs ~ ±26V. For the LMI44, TA ~ max ~ 12S'C and TA ~ min ~ -S5"C. Forthe LM344, TA ~ max ~ 70"C and TA ~
min ~ O"C.

Application Hints (See Also AN-127)
For example, with high source resistances, care should be
taken to prevent the magnitude of the PC board leakage
currents, although quite small, from approaching those of
the op amp input currents. These leakage currents become
larger at 125'C and are made worse by high supply voltages. To prevent this, PC boards should be properly
cleaned and coated to prevent contamination and to provide protection from condensed water vapor when operating below O'C. A guard ring is also recommended to significantly reduce leakage currents from the op amp input pins
to the adjacent high voltge pins in the standard op amp pin
connection as shown in Figure 1. Figures 2, 3 and 4 show
how the guard ring is connected for the three most common
op amp configurations.

The LM144 is designed for trouble-free operation at any
supply voltage up to a maximum of ± 40V. Input overvoltage
protection, both common-mode and differential, is 100%
tested and guaranteed at the maximum supply voltage. Furthermore, all possible high voltage destructive modes during
supply voltage turn-on have been eliminated by design. As
with most IC op amps, however, certain precautions should
be observed to insure that the LM144 remains virtually
blow-out proof.
Although output short circuits to ground or either supply can
be sustained indefinitely for supply voltages, below ± 18V,
these short circuits should be of limited duration when operating at higher supply voltages. Units can be destroyed by
any combination of high ambient temperature, high supply
voltages, and high power dissipation which results in excessive die temperature. This is also true when driving low impedance or reactive loads or loads that can revert to low
impedance; for example, the LM144 can drive most general
purpose op amps outside of their maximum input voltage
range, causing heavy current to flow and possibly destroying both devices.

The minimum values given for the frequency compensation
capacitor are stable only for source resistances less than 10
kO, stray capacitances on the summing junction less than 5
pF and capacitive loads smaller than 100 pF. If any of these
conditions are not met, it becomes necessary to overcompensate the amplifier with a larger compensation capacitor.
Alternately, lead capacitors can be used in the feedback
network to negate the effect of stray capacitance and large
feedback resistors or an RC network can be added to isolate capacitive loads. See Figures 5, 6 and 7.

Precautions should be taken to insure that the power supplies never become reversed in polarily-even under transient conditions. With reverse voltage, the IC will conduct
excessive current, fusing the internal aluminum interconnects. Voltage reversal between the power supplies will almost always result in a destroyed unit.

Finally, caution should be exercised in high voltage applications as electrical shock hazards are present. Since the
negative supply is connected to the case, users' may inadvertantly contact voltages equal to those across the power
supplies.

In high voltage applications which are sensitive to very low
input currents, special precautions should be exercised.

LM146/LM246/LM346 Programmable Quad
Operational Amplifiers
General Description

Features (ISET= 10 p.A)

The LM146 series of quad op amps consists of four independent, high gain, internally compensated, low power, programmable amplifiers. Two external resistors (RSET) allow
the user to program the gain bandwidth product, slew rate,
supply current, input bias current, input offset current and
input noise. For example, the user can trade-off supply current for bandwidth or optimize noise figure for a given
source resistance. In a similar way, other amplifier characteristics can be tailored to the application. Except for the
two programming pins at the end of the package, the
LM146 pin-out is the same as the LM124 and LM14B.

Note 1: For supply voltages less than ± 15V, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply voltage.

Note 2: The maximum power dissipation for these devices must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by liMAX. 6jA. and the ambient temperature,
TA. The maximum available power dissipation at any temperature is Pd= (TjMAX • T AlIBjA or the 25°C PdMAX. whichever is less.
Note 3: Any of the amplifier outputs can be shorted to ground indefinitely; however, more than one should not be simultaneously shorted as the maximum junction
temperature will be exceeded.

Note 4: These specifications apply over the absolute maximum operating temperature range unless otherwise noted.
Nole 5: Refer to RETS146X for LM146J military specifications.

Application Hints
Avoid reversing the power supply polarity; the device will
fail.
Common-Mode Input Voltage: The negative commonmode voltage limit is one diode drop above the negative
supply voltage. Exceeding this limit on either input will result
in an output phase reversal. The positive common-mode
limit is typically 1V below the positive supply voltage. No
output phase reversal will occur if this limit is exceeded by
either input.

Isolation Between Amplifiers: The LM146 die is isothermally layed out such that crosstalk between 81/4 amplifiers
is in excess of -105 dB (DC). Optimum isolation (better
than -110 dB) occurs between amplifiers A and D, Band
C; that is, if amplifier A dissipates power on its output stage,
amplifier D is the one which will be affected the least, and
vice versa. Same argument holds for amplifiers Band C.
LM146 Typical Performance Summary: The LM146 typical behaviour is shown in Figure 3. The device is fully predictable. As the set current, ISET' increases, the speed, the
bias current, and the supply current increase while the noise
power decreases proportionally and the Vas remains constant. The usable GBW range of the op amp is 10 kHz to
3.5-4 MHz.

Output Voltage Swing vs ISE" For a desired output voltage swing the value of the minimum load depends on the
positive and negative output current capability of the op
amp. The maximum available positive output current,
(ICl +), of the deVice increases with ISET whereas the negative output current (ICl -) is independent of ISET. Figure 1
illustrates the above.

&.

Input Capacitance: The input capacitance, CIN, of the
LM146 is approximately 2 pF; any stray capaCitance, Cs,
(due to external circuit circuit layout) will add to CIN. When
resistive or active feedback is applied, an additional pole is
added to the open loop frequency response of the device.
For instance with resistive feedback (Figure 2), this pole
occurs at %71" (R1iiR2) (CIN + Cs). Make sure that this pole
occurs at least 2 octaves beyond the expected - 3 dB frequency corner of the closed loop gain of the amplifier; if not,
place a lead capacitor in the feedback such that the time
constant of this capaCitor and the resistance it parallels is
equal to the RI(Cs + CIN), where RI is the input resistance
of the circuit.

FIGURE 3. LM146 Typical Characteristics
Low Power Supply Operation: The quad op amp operates
down to ± 1.3V supply. Also, since the internal circuitry is
biased through programmable current sources, no degradation of the device speed will occur.
Speed vs Power Consumption: LM146 vs LM4250 (single
programmable). Through Figure 4, we observe that the
LM146's power consumption has been optimized for GBW
products above 200 kHz, whereas the LM4250 will reach a
GBW of no more than 300 kHz. For GBW products below
200 kHz, the LM4250 will consume less power.

FIGURE 2
Temperature Effect on the GBW: The GBW (gain bandwidth product), of the LM146 is directly proportional to ISET
and inversely proportional to the absolute temperature.
When using resistors to set the bias current, ISET' of the
device, the GBW product will decrease with increasing temperature. Compensation can be provided by creating an
ISET current directly proportional to temperature (see typical
applications).

General Description

Features

The LM14B series is a true quad 741. It consists of four
independent, high gain, internally compensated, low power
operational amplifiers which have been designed to provide
functional characteristics identical to those of the familiar
741 operational amplifier. In addition the total supply current
for all four amplifiers is comparable to the supply current of
a single 741 type op amp. Other features include input offset currents and input bias current which are much less than
those of a standard 741. Also, excellent isolation between
amplifiers has been achieved by independently biasing each
amplifier and using layout techniques which minimize thermal coupling. The LM149 series has the same features as
the LM14B plus a gain bandwidth product of 4 MHz at a gain
of 5 or greater.

Application Hints
The LM148 series are quad low power 741 op amps. In the
proliferation of quad op amps, these are the first to offer the
convenience of familiar, easy to use operating characteristics of the 741 op amp. In those applications where 741 op
amps have been employed, the LM148 series op amps can
be employed directly with no change in circuit performance.
The LM149 series has the same characteristics as the
LM148 except it has been decompensated to provide a
wider bandwidth. As a result the part requires a minimum
gain of 5.
The package pin-outs are such that the inverting input of
each amplifier is adjacent to its output. In addition, the amplifier outputs are located in the corners of the package
which simplifies PC board layout and minimizes package
related capacitive coupling between amplifiers.
The input characteristics of these amplifiers allow differential input voltages which can exceed the supply voltages. In
addition, if either of the input voltages is within the operating
common-mode range, the phase of the output remains correct. If the negative limit of the operating common-mode
range is exceeded at both inputs, the output voltage will be
positive. For input voltages which greatly exceed the maximum supply voltages, either differentially or common-mode,
resistors should be placed in series with the inputs to limit
the current.

back connection) and the capacitance to reduce the phase
shift resulting from the capacitive loading.
The output current of each amplifier fn the package is limited. Short circuits from an output to either ground or the
power supplies will not destroy the unit. However, if multiple
output shorts occur simultaneously, the time duration should
be short to prevent the unit from being destroyed as a result
of excessive power dissipation in the IC chip.
As with most amplifiers, care should be taken lead dress,
component placement and supply decoupling in order to
ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to an
input should be placed with the body close to the input to
minimize "pickup" and maximize the frequency of the feedback pole which capacitance from the input to ground creates.
A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to AC ground set the frequency of the pole. In many
instances the frequency of this pole is much greater than
the expected 3 dB frequency of the closed loop gain and
consequently there is negligible effect on stability margin.
However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately six
times the expected 3 dB frequency a lead capacitor should
be placed from the output to the input of the op amp. The
value of the added capacitor should be such that the RC
time constant of this capacitor and the resistance it parallels
is greater than or equal to the original feedback pole time
constant.

Like the LM741 , these amplifiers can easily drive a 100 pF
capacitive load throughout the entire dynamic output voltage and current range. However, if very large capacitive
loads must be driven by a non-inverting unity gain amplifier,
a resistor should be placed between the output (and feed3-449

LM 158/LM258/LM358, LM 158A/LM258A/LM358A,
LM2904 Low Power Dual Operational Amplifiers

General Description

......

The LM 158 series consists of two independent, high gain,
internally frequency compensated operational amplifiers
which were designed specifically to operate from a single
power supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation from
split power supplies is also possible and the low power supply current drain is independent of the magnitude of the
power supply voltage.

Application areas include transducer amplifiers, dc gain
blocks and all the conventional op amp circuits which now
can be more easily implemented in single power supply systems. For example, the LM158 series can be directly operated off of the standard + 5 Voc power supply voltage which
is used in digital systems and will easily provide the required
interface electronics without requiring the additional ± 15
Voc power supplies.

Unique Characteristics
• In the linear mode the input common-mode voltage
range includes ground and the output voltage can also
swing to ground, even though operated from only a single power supply voltage.
• The unity gain cross frequency is temperature
compensated.
• The input bias current is also temperature
compensated.

• Allows directly sensing near GND and VOUT also goes
to GND
• Compatible with all forms of logic
• Power drain suitable for battery operation
• Pin-out same as LM1558/LM1458 dual operational
amplifier

Features
• Internally frequency compensated for unity gain
• Large dc voltage gain
100 dB
• Wide bandwidth (unity gain)
1 MHz
(temperature compensated)
• Wide power supply range:
Single supply
3 Voc to 32 Voc
or dual supplies
± 1.5 Voc to ± 16 Voc
• Very low supply current drain (500 I-'A)-essentially independent of supply voltage
45 nAoc
• Low input biasing current
(temperature compensated)
• Low input offset voltage
2 mVoc
and offset current
5 nAoc
• Input common-mode voltage range includes ground
• Differential input voltage range equal to the power supply voltage
Voc to V+ - 1.5 Voc
• Large output voltage swing

o

Advantages
• Eliminates need for dual supplies
• Two internally compensated op amps in a single
package

Note 1: For operating at high temperatures. the LM358/LM358A, LM2904 must be derated based on a + 125"C maximum iunction temperature and a thermal resistance of 120'C/W which applies for the device soldered in a printed
circu~ board, operating in a still air ambient. The LM258/LM2S8A and LM1S8/LM1S8A can be derated based on a + 1S0'C maximum iunction temperature. The dissipation is the total of both amplifiers-use external resistors. where
possible, to allow the amplifier to saturate or to reduce the power which is dissipated in the integrated circuit.

Note 2: Short circuits from the output to V+ can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction. When considering short cirucits to ground. the maximum output current is approximately 40 rnA independent of the magnitude of
V+ . At values of supply voltage in excess of + 15 Vee. continuous short·circuits can exceed the power dissipation ratings and cause eventual destruction. Destructive dissipation can result from simultaneous shorts on all amplifiers.
Note 3: This input current will only exist when the voltage at any of the input leads is driven negative. It is due to the collector-base junction of the input PNP transistors becoming forward biased and thereby acting as input diode
clamps. In addition to this diode action, there is also lateral NPN parasitic transistor action on the IC Chip. This transistor action can cause the output voltages of the op amps to go to the V+ voltage level (or to ground for a large
overdrive) for the time duration that an input is driven negative. This is not destructive and normal output states will re-establish when the input voltage, which was negative, again returns to a value greater than -0.3 Voc (at 25"C).
Note 4: These specifications are lim~ed to -SS'C ,;; TA ,;; + 12S'C for the LM1S8/LMI58A. With the LM2S8/LM258A, all temperature specifications are limited to -2S'C ,;; TA ,;; +8S'C, the LM3S8/LM3S8A temperature
specifications are limited to O'C ,;; TA ,;; + 70'C. and the LM2904 specifications are limited to - 40'C ,;; TA ,;; + 8S'C.
Note 5: Vo .. 1.4 Vee, Rs

= on ~h V+ from 5 Vee to 30 Vee; and over the full input common·mode range (0 Vee to V+

-1.5 Vecl at 2S'C. For LM2904, V+ from 5 Vee to 26 Vee.

Note 6: The direction of the input current is out of the IC due to the PNP input stage. This current is essentially constant, independent of the state of the output so no loading change exists on the input lines.
Note 7: The input common-mode voltage of either input Signal voltage should not be allowed to go negative by more than 0.3V (at 2S'C). The upper end of the common·mode voltage range is V + -1.5V (at 25"C). but either or both
inputs can go to +32 Vee without damage (+26 Vee for LM2904), independent of the magnitude of V+.
Note 8: Due to proximity of external components, insure that coupling is not originating via stray capacitance between these external parts. This typically can be detected as this type of capacitance increases at higher frequencies.
Note 9: Refer to RETS1S8AX for LM1S8A military specHications and to RETS1S8X for LM1S8 military specifications.

Application Hints
The LM158 series are op amps which operate with only a
single power supply voltage, have true-differential inputs,
and remain in the linear mode with an input common-mode
voltage of 0 Vee. These amplifiers operate over a wide
range of power supply voltage with little change in performance characteristics. At 25'C amplifier operation is possible
down to a minimum supply voltage of 2.3 Vee.

Capacitive loads which are applied directly to the output of
the amplifier reduce the loop stability margin. Values of 50
pF can be accomodated using the worst-case non-inverting
unity gain connection. Large closed loop gains or resistive
isolation should be used if larger load capacitance must be
driven by the amplifier.
The bias network of the LM158 establishes a drain current
which is independent of the magnitude of the power supply
voltage over the range of 3 Vee to 30 Vee.
Output short circuits either to ground or to the positive power supply should be of short time duration. Units can be
destroyed, not as a result of the short circuit current causing
metal fusing, but rather due to the large increase in IC chip
dissipation which will cause eventual failure due to excessive function temperatures. Putting direct short-circuits on
more than one amplifier at a time will increase the total IC
power dissipation to destructive levels, if not properly protected with external dissipation limiting resistors in series
with the output leads of the amplifiers. The larger value of
output source current which is available at 25'C provides a
larger output current capability at elevated temperatures
(see typical performance characteristics) than a standard IC
op amp.
The circuits presented in the section on typical applications
emphasize operation on only a single power supply voltage.
If complementary power supplies are available, all of the
standard op amp circuits can be used. In general, introducing a pseudo-ground (a bias voltage reference of V+ /2) will
allow operation above and below this value in single power
supply systems. Many application circuits are shown which
take advantage of the wide input common-mode voltage
range which includes ground. In most cases, input biasing is
not required and input voltages which range to ground can
easily be accommodated.

Precautions should be taken to insure that the power supply
for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity
or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards in a
test socket as an unlimited current surge through the resulting forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of the
internal conductors and result in a destroyed unit.
Large differential input voltages can be easily accomodated
and, as input differential voltage protection diodes are not
needed, no large input currents result from large differential
input voltages. The differential input voltage may be larger
than V + without damaging the device. Protection should be
provided to prevent the input voltages from going negative.
more than -0.3 Vee (at 25'C). An input clamp diode with a
resistor to the IC input terminal can be used.
To reduce the power supply current drain, the amplifiers
have a class A output stage for small signal levels which
converts to class B in a large signal mode. This allows the
amplifiers to both source and sink large output currents.
Therefore both NPN and PNP external current boost transistors can be used to extend the power capability of the
basic amplifiers. The output voltage needs to raise approximately 1 diode drop above ground to bias the on-chip vertical PNP transistor for output current sinking applications.
For ac applications, where the load is capacitively coupled
to the output of the amplifier, a resistor should be used, from
the output of the amplifier to ground to increase the class A
bias current and prevent crossover distortion. Where the
load is directly coupled, as in dc applications, there is no
crossover distortion.

LM392/LM2924
Low Power Operational Amplifier/Voltage Comparator
General Description

Features

The LM392 series consists of 2 independent building block
circuits. One is a high gain, internally frequency compensated operational amplifier, and the other is a precision voltage
comparator. Both the operational amplifier and the voltage
comparator have been specifically designed to operate from
a single power supply over a wide range of voltages. Both
circuits have input stages which will common-mode input
down to ground when operating from a single power supply.
Operation from split power supplies is also possible and the
low power supply current is independent of the magnitude
of the supply voltage.

• Wide power supply voltage range
3Vt032V
Single supply
±1.5Vto ±16V
Dual supply
• Low supply current drain-essentially independent of
600 p.A
supply voltage
• Low input biasing current
50 nA
• Low input offset voltage
2 mV
• Low input offset current
5 nA
• Input common-mode voltage range includes ground
• Differential input voltage range equal to the power supply voltage

Application areas include transducer amplifier with pulse
shaper, DC gain block with level detector, VCO, as well as
all conventional operational amplifier or voltage comparator
circuits. Both circuits can be operated directly from the standard 5 VDC power supply voltage used in digital systems,
and the output of the comparator will interface directly with
either TIL or CMOS logic. In addition, the low power drain
makes the LM392 extremely useful in the deSign of portable
equipment.

Note 1: For operating at temperatures above 2S'C. the LM392 and the LM2924 must be derated based on a 12S'C maximum junction temperature and a thermal
resistance of 12'Z'C/W which applies for the device soldered in a printed circuit board, operating in still air ambient The dissipation is the total of both amplifiersuse external resistors. where pOSSible, to allow the amplifier to saturate or to reduce the power which is dissipated in the integrated circuit.
Note 2: Short circuits from the output to V+ can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction. When considering short circuits to ground, the maximum output
current is approximately 40 mA for the op amp and 30 mA for the comparator independent of the magnitude of V+. At values of supply voltage in excess of ISV,
continuous short circuits can exceed the power disSipation ratings and cause eventual destruction.

Note 3: This input current will only exist when the voltage at any of the input leads is driven negative. It is due to the collector-base junction of the input PNP
transistors becoming forward biased and thereby acting as input diode clamps. In addition to this diode action, there is also lateral NPN parasnic transistor action
on the IC chip. this transistor action can cause the output voltages of the amplifiers to go to the V+ voltage level (or to ground for a large overdrive) for the time
duration that an input is driven negative. This is not destructive and normal output states will re-establish when the input voltage, which was negative, again returns

to a value greater than - 0.3V (at 2S·C).

Note 4: These specifications apply for V+ = 5V, unless otherwise stated. For the LM392, temperature specifications are limited to O·C ,;; TA ,;;

from 5V to 30V; and over the full input common-mode range (OV to V+ - 1.5V).

Note 6: The direction of the input current is out of the IC due to the PNP input stage. This current is essentially constant, Independent of the state of the output
so no loading change exists on the input lines.
Note 7: The input common-mode voltage or either input signal voltage should not be allowed to go negative by more than 0.3V. The upper end of the
common-mode voltage range is V+ - 1.5V, but either or both inputs can go to 32V without damage (26V for LM2924).
Note 8: Due to proximity of exiernal components, insure that coupling is not originating via the stray capacitance between these external parts. This typically
can be detected as this type of capac~ive increases at higher frequencies.

Note 9: Positive excursions of input voltage may exceed the power supply level. As long as the other input voltage remains within the common-mode range,
the comparator will provide a proper output state. The input voltage to the op amp should not exceed the power supply level. The input voltage state must not
be less than - 0.3V (or 0.3V below the magnitude of the negative power supply, if used) on either amplmer.
Note 10: The response time specified is for a 100 mV input step ~h 5 mV overdrive. For larger overdrive signals 300 ns can be obtained.

Application Hints
The LM359 consists of two wide bandwidth, decompensated current differencing (Norton) amplifiers. Although similar
in operation to the original LM3900, design emphasis for
these amplifiers has been placed on obtaining much higher
frequency performance as illustrated in Figure 1.
This significant improvement in frequency response is the
result of using a common-emitter/common-base (cascode)
gain stage which is typical in many discrete and integrated
video and RF circuit designs. Another versatile aspect of
these amplifiers is the ability to externally program many
internal amplifier parameters to suit the requirements of a
wide variety of applications in which this type of amplifier
can be used.

DC BIASING
The LM359 is intended for single supply voltage operation
which requires DC biasing of the output. The current mirror
circuitry which provides the non-inverting input for the amplifier also facilitates DC biasing the output. The basic operation of this current mirror is that the current (both DC and
AC) flowing into the non-inverting input will force an equal ,
amount of current to flow into the inverting input. The mirror
gain (AI) specification is the measure of how closely these
two currents match. For more details see National Application Note AN-72.

>_t-ovo

DC biasing of the output is accomplished by establishing a
reference DC current into the (+) input, IIN( +), and requiring the output to provide the (-) input current. This forces
the output DC level to be whatever value necessary (within
the output voltage swing of the amplifier) to provide this DC
reference current, Figure 2.

The nVeE biasing configuration is most useful for low noise
applications where a reduced input impedance can be accommodated (see typical applications section).

The DC input voltage at each input is a transistor VeE
('" 0.6 Voc) and must be considered for DC biasing. For
most applications, the supply voltage, V+, is suitable and
convenient for establishing IIN( +). The inverting input bias
current, Ib( -), is a direct function of the program'mable input
stage current (see current programmability section) and to
obtain predictable output DC biasing set IIN(+) ~ 10Ib(-)'

OPERATING CURRENT PROGRAMMABILITY (ISET)
The input bias current, slew rate, gain bandwidth product,
output drive capability and total device power consumption
of both amplifiers can be simultaneously controlled and optimized via the two programming pins ISET(OUT) and ISET(IN)'

The following figures illustrate typical biasing schemes for
AC amplifiers using the LM359:

ISET(OUn
The output set current (\SET(OUT») is equal to the amount of
current sourced from pin 1 and establishes the class A biasing current for the Darlington emitter follower output stage.
Using a single resistor from pin 1 to ground, as shown in
Figure 6, this current is equal to:

drive load capacitance and for loads connected to V+. The

FIGURE 7. Establishing the Input Set Current
ISET(lN) is most significant in controlling the AC characteris·
tics of the LM359 as it directly sets the total input stage
current of the amplifiers which determines the maximum
slew rate, the frequency of the open loop dominant pole, the
input resistance of the (-) input and the biasing current
Ib( -). All of these parameters are significant in wide band
amplifier design. The input stage current is approximately 3
times ISET(IN) and by using this relationship the following
first order approximations for these AC parameters are:

TL/H17788-13
ISET(IN) = ISET(OUl) = ISET

FIGURE 8. Single Resistor Programming of ISET

Care must be taken when using resistors to program the set
current to prevent significantly increasing the supply voltage
above the value used to determine the set current. This
would cause an increase in total supply current due to the
resulting increase in set current and the maximum device
power dissipation could be exceeded. The set resistor value(s) should be adjusted for the new supply voltage .

Application Hints (Continued)
One method to avoid this is to use an adjustable current
source which has voltage compliance to generate the set
current as shown in Figure 9.

COMPENSATION
The LM359 is internally compensated for stability with
closed loop inverting gains of 10 or more. For an inverting
gain of less than 10 and all non-inverting amplifiers (the
amplifier always has 100% negative current feedback regardless of the gain in the non-inverting configuration) some
external frequency compensation is required because the
stray capacitance to ground from the (-) input and the
feedback resistor add additional lagging phase within the
feedback loop. The value of the input capacitance will typically be in the range of 6 pF to 10 pF for a reasonably
constructed circuit board. When using a feedback resistance of 30 kn or less, the best method of compensation,
without sacrificing slew rate, is to add a lead capacitor in
parallel with the feedback resistor with a value on the order
of 1 pF to 5 pF as shown in Figure 10.

This circuit allows ISET to remain constant over the entire

that the current through the LM334 as shown will change
linearly with temperature but this can be compensated for

CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGH FREQUENCY
OPERATION
The LM359 is intended for use in relatively high frequency
applications and many factors external to the amplifier itself
must be considered. Minimization of stray capacitances and
their effect on circuit operation are the primary requirements. The following list contains some general guidelines
to help accomplish this end:

c, =

1 pF to 5 pF for stability
TL/H/n88-15

1. Keep the leads of all external components as short as
possible.

FIGURE 10. Best Method of Compensation
Another method of compensation is to increase the effective value of the internal compensation capacitor by adding
capaCitance from the COMP pin of an amplifier to ground.
An external 20 pF capaCitor will generally compensate for
all gain settings bLit· will also reduce the gain bandwidth
product and the slew rate. These same results can also be
obtained by reducing ISET(IN) if the full capabilities of the
amplifier are not required. This method is termed over-compensation.
Another area of concern from a stability standpoint is that of
capacitive loading. The amplifier will generally drive capacitive loads up to 100 pF without oscillation problems. Any
larger C loads can be isolated from the output as shown in
Figure 11. Over-compensation of the amplifier can also be
used if the corresponding reduction of the GBW product can
be afforded.

2. Place components conducting signal current from the
output of an amplifier away from that amplifier'S non-inverting input.
3. Use reasonably low value resistances for gain setting and
biasing.
4. Use of a ground plane is helpful in providing a shielding
effect between the inputs and from input to output. Avoid
using vector boards.
5. Use a single-point ground and single-point supply distribution to minimize crosstalk. Always connect the two
grounds (one from each amplifier) together.

6. Avoid use of long wires (> 2 ") but if necessary, use
shielded wire.

7. Bypass the supply close to the device with a low inductance, low value capacitor (typically a 0.01 ",F ceramic) to
create a good high frequency ground. If long supply leads
are unavoidable, a small resistor (-10.0) in series with
the bypass capacitor may be needed and using shielded
wire for the supply leads is also recommended.

Application Hints (Continued)
In most applications using the LM359, the input signal will
be AC coupled so as not to affect the DC biasing of the
amplifier. This gives rise to another subtlety of high frequency circuits which is the effective series inductance (ESL) of
the coupling capacitor which creates an increase in the impedance of the capacitor at high frequencies and can cause
an unexpected gain reduction. Low ESL capacitors like solid
tantalum for large values of C and ceramic for smaller values are recommended. A parallel combination of the two
types is even better for gain accuracy over a wide frequency
range.

This value should not be exceeded for predictable DC

with Cj will maintain high frequency gain accuracy.
8. Test for peaking of the frequency response and add a
feedback "lead" capacitor to compensate if necessary.

AMPLIFIER DESIGN EXAMPLES
The ability of the LM359 to provide gain at frequencies higher than most monolithic amplifiers can provide makes it
most useful as a basic broadband amplification stage. The
design of standard inverting and non-inverting amplifiers,
though different than standard op amp design due to the
current differencing inputs, also entail subtle design differences between the two types of amplifiers. These differences will be best illustrated by design examples. For these
examples a practical video amplifier with a passband of 8
Hz to 10 MHz and a gain of 20 dB will be used. It will be
assumed that the input will come from a 7511 source and
proper signal termination will be considered. The supply
voltage is 12 VDC and single resistor programming of the
operating current, ISET' will be used for simplicity.

to obtain a 20 MHz bandwidth, both Rf and Cf should be

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
The LM359 is designed primarily for single supply operation
but split supplies may be used if the negative supply voltage
is well regulated as the amplifiers have no negative supply
rejection.
The total device power dissipation must always be kept in
mind when selecting an operating supply voltage, the programming current, ISET' and the load resistance, particularly
when DC coupling the output to a succeeding stage. To
prevent damaging the current mirror input diode, the mirror
current should always be limited to 10 rnA, or less, which is
important if the input is susceptible to high voltage transients. The voltage at any of the inputs must not be forced
more negative than -0.7V without limiting the current to 10
rnA.
The supply voltage must never be reversed to the device;
however, plugging the device into a socket backwards
would then connect the positive supply voltage to the pin
that has no internal connection (pin 5) which may prevent
inadvertent device failure

• The high speed of the LM359 allows the center frequency 0 0 product 01 the filter to be:
fo x 0 0 ,;; 5 MHz
• The above filter(s) maintains performance over wide temperature range

• One half of LM359 acts as a true non·inverting integrator so only 2 amplifiers (instead
of 3 or 4) are needed for the biquad filter structure

LM604A/LM604 4 Channel Mux-Amp
General Description

Features

The LM604 Mux-Amp is an op-amp with four selectable differential inputs, combining the functions of a multiplexer
with an op-amp. The LM604 can select, buffer, and amplify
one of four different input signals, providing a complete system for multiplexing analog signals. It also has the unique
Bi-State output which allows two or more Mux-Amps to be
connected together at their outputs to increase the number
of multiplexed channels. Channel selection and the Bi-State
output are controlled by internal logic that interfaces directly
to a microprocessor. Besides these unique features, the
LM604 has excellent AC and DC op-amp specifications and
is internally compensated.

• Multiplexes four differential input channels to a single
op-amp
• Easy to interface to microprocessor, or operates "stand
alone"
• Bi-State output: Operates in two states, Active and Disabled. When disabled, it becomes a high impedance.
• Wide operating voltage range
single supply
4V to 32V
split supply
±2V to ±16V
V- to V+ - 1V
• Wide input common mode range
5,",s
• Fast channel to channel switching time
• Output will drive a 600n load

Applications include signal multiplexing and linear circuits
that are controlled by digital signals (i.e., programmable gain
blocks, filters, and other op-amp circuits).

DIGITAL FEEDTHROUGH
When interfacing the Mux-Amp to a microprocessor, pins A,
B, EN, and WR are connected to an address bus where high
frequency digital Signals are present. The fast edges of
these Signals can propagate into the Mux-Amp's analog signal path, causing fast transients to appear at the output. To
avoid this problem, the following precautions should be taken.

........

~N~V ~N~V -

The Mux-Amp is unconditionally stable with as much as
500 pF connected from the output to ground. If the output is
required to drive a larger capacitive load, the Mux-Amp may
need to operate with at least a gain of 10. Otherwise, it may
become unstable when sinking current.

1) Analog and digital ground must be kept separate. They
can only be connected together back at the power supply or
supply bus.

-

I
I

2) Bypass capaCitors should have low inductance to prevent
noise spikes on the voltage supply pins. A ceramic disc capacitor of 0.1 ,..F is usually sufficient.

I

3) All lead lengths should be kept short to prevent them
from picking up digital signals .

••
+

By using these rules, digital Signals can be attenuated at the
input channels by typically 100 dB.

PREVIOUS

OINJ

Lab measurements have shown a minimum digital feedthrough signal of 2 mV occurs at the output even when the
best layout precautions are taken. This is fine for many applications, but to completely eliminate digital feedthrough,
any signals coming directly from the bus must be sent to the
Mux-Amp via a Tri-State buffer, see Figure 14. This isolates
the Mux-Amp's digital pins from the address bus to prevent
pin to pin feedthrough. CS can be used to enable the TriState buffers when signals are sent to" the Mux-Amp from
the address bus.

General Description

Features

The LM607 series of precision operational amplifiers are
trimmed at wafer sort to extremely low values of offset voltage. Advanced circuit design and testing techniques allow
guaranteed drift specifications as low as 0.3 ",V
with offsets as low as 25 ",V.
Other input parameters are equally impressive. The typical
open loop voltage gain of 5 Million yields extremely low error in high-gain applications. CMRR and PSRR are typically
140 dB.
Using Super-Beta transistors in the front end enables the
LM607 to operate at high input stage current while maintaining low values of input bias current (1 nA typ.) This gives the

part its low input voltage noise: 6.5 nVl.JHZ.
High operating currents also help give the LM607 its high
gain-bandwidth product of 1.B MHz and slew rate of '
O.7V/",s. Despite its higher speed, the LM607 draws less
supply current than OP-07 and OP-77 types: only 1 mA at
± 15V supplies.

Note I: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions. see the Electrical Characteristics.
The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed.
Note 2: Input offset voltage for A and B grades is tested and guaranteed with the device fully warmed up. See Figure 1 in the Application Hints for test circuit.
Warmup drift is typically 3 ".V settling out in 5 minutes. The LM607C offset voltage is measured by automated test equipment within 200 ms of applying power.
Note 3: Input offset voltage drift is defined as (Vos(70"C) - Vos( - 5'C))175'C for the commercial temperature range. For the military temperature range, the input
offset voltage drift is measured from room temperature to both extremes: both [Vos(25'C) - Vas( - 55'C)I/BO"C and (Vos(125'C) - Vos(25'C))/IOO·C.
Note 4: Input offset voltage long term stability refers to the average trend line of Vas vs. time over extended periods of time after the first 30 days of operation.
Excluding the initial hour of operation, changes in Vas during the first 30 days are typically 2 ".V.
Note 5: Guaranteed and 100% production tested.
Note 6: Limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using Standard Statistical Quality Control (SQC) Methods. All limits are to be used to
calculate Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
Note 7: Inputs are protected by beck-ta-back diodes to prevent zener breakdown of the input transistors. Series limiting resistors have not been included since they
degrade noise performance. Excessive current may flow if a differential voltage in excess of 0.7V is applied.
Note 8: Power Supply Rejection Ratio is tested by moving both power supplies together from their minimum to maximum values.
Note 9: Typical thermal resistance of the molded package is 95"C/W junction-te-ambient. Typical thermal resistance of the metal can package is 150"C/W
junction-to-ambient and 17"C/W junction-to-case.
Note 10: These units selected to illustrate the type of variations that may be encountered. (This note refers to particular curves within the Typical Performance
Characteristics.)

OFFSET VOLTAGE

g

Offset voltage of the LM607 is internally trimmed to a very
low value. The data sheet Vos specification applies at TJ =
25'C, VCM = 0 and ±15V supplies. For other conditions,
temperature drift, common-mode rejection and power-supply rejection errors must be taken into account.

TL/H/87B7-5

Because adjusting the offset voltage of an LM607 will alter
its offset voltage temperature drift, caution is advised. Every
100 /LV of offset will produce a 0.33 /LVrc drift component.
For this reason the offset adjust potentiometer should not
be used to null out a sensor offset if system temperature
drift is important; rather a stable voltage reference must be
added to the sensor voltage. Offset voltage drift is guaranteed by design for the LM607C either with or without external nUlling. The higher precision A and B grades are 100%
drift tested and guaranteed without nulling only.

To measure Vos with high accuracy, gain must be taken
right at the device as shown, otherwise the offset voltage
would get swamped out by noise and thermoelectric voltages. Thermocouples occur in the devices, the IC socket
and the resistor across the device inputs (R2), all of which
must be held isothermal. Usually best results are obtained
by placing the circuit in a box or chamber to minimized airflow and employing a long thermal soak time. R2 should be
mounted symmetrically with respect to potential thermal
gradients: e.g. not perpendicular to the board but instead
parallel to the board and the device socket. In addition, R2
should have low thermal EMF. Cermet or nichrome metal
film types are acceptable; avoid tin-oxide resistors.

OVERCOMPENSATION
Without any external compensation, the LM607 is stable at
unity gain and up to 750 pF load capacitance. It has a slew
rate of 0.7V//Ls and a gain-bandwidth product of 1.8 MHz. If
desired, the amplifier may be overcompensated by adding
external components as shown in Figure 4. This increases
maximum capacitive loading to 0.01 /LF while decreasing slew
rate to 0.13VI /Ls and bandwidth to 200 kHz. If overcompensation is not desired, pin 5 should be left open.

FIGURE 3. Improved Sensitivity Offset Adjust

Although the LM607C is specified as TJ = 25'C, the 3 /LV
typical warmup drift is a small fraction of its 100 /LV max
offset. For the 25 /LV LM607A and 50 /LV LM607B grades,
the offset voltage is measured fully warmed up with the circuit of Figure 1 approximately 5 minutes after applying power.

FIGURE 1. Offset Voltage Test Circuit
NOISE

OFFSET NULLING

The LM607 achieves lower voltage noise than the OP-07
primarily by operating at higher input stage current. Its superbeta input transistors and trimmed bias-current compensation prevent the bias current from increaSing. When measuring spot noise, a circuit as shown in Figure 5 is recommended. The DUT runs at a gain of 100 will not roll off until
approximately 15 ,kHz. Another gain of 100 amplifier following brings total DUT-input-referred gain up to 10,000 to minimize sensitivity to EMI in the environment. When measuring
spot noise at 100 Hz, it is recommended that the bandwidth
be 20 Hz or less to minimize pickup of 120 Hz, the second
harmonic of line frequency.

This is usually not required on the LM607 family since its
offset voltage is internally trimmed. An offset adjust range of
approximately ± 1.5 mV is available using a single 10 or 20
kO potentiometer as shown in Figure 2. With these values,
the adjustment is relatively linear over the entire range. If a
100 kO potentiometer is used, the adjustment becomes
very coarse at the extremes (above 700 /LV) but fine in the
center, which makes it easier to precisely null the offset. For
even more sensitivity, employ a pot in conjunction with two
fixed resistors. For example the circuit of Figure 3 has an
adjustment range of ± 150 /LV.

Application Hints (Continued)
The circuit used to measure peak-to-peak noise in the 0.1 to
10Hz range is shown in Figure 6. The device should be
warmed up for about 2 minutes and shielded from air currents to minimize warmup drift and thermoelectric voltages.
The test time should be limited to only 10 seconds, as this
limits noise contributions below 0.1 Hz, in addition to the
single zero rolloff. The measuring equipment must be flat
beyond this bandwidth. DC coupling must be employed to
ensure this. Certain types of X-Y plotters may not be usable
because of severe roll off above a few Hz.

All capacitors
non·polar

Input Overdrive
The LM60Ts input-protection diodes prevent zener breakdown of the input transistors and the ensuing degradation of
input DC parameters. Current limiting resistors have not
been included as they would degrade input noise voltage.
Input current should be limited to ± 25 rnA to avoid potential
damage to the IC metallization.
In voltage follower applications, large input voltage steps
may be coupled directly to the op amp's output via the protection diodes. If the input and feedback resistances are low
in value, the output stage may be driven temporarily into
current limit. The resulting output waveform exhibits an initial fast step when the diodes are conducting followed by a
slight glitch as the amplifier comes out of current limit before
true slewing is observed. For best results, use input and
feedback resistors of 2 kO each in parallel with 30 pF capacitors. The capacitors eliminate input and feedback poles
which respectively cause signal rolloff and instabilities.

:i LM611A/LM611
Operational Amplifier and Adjustable Reference
General Description

Features (Guaranteed over temperature and supply)

The operational amplifier is a versatile common-mode-tothe-negative-supply ("single-supply") type similar to the
LM124 series, but with improved slew rate, improved power
bandwidth, reduced cross-over distortion, and low supply
current even while driven beyond swing limits. Lateral PNP
input transistors enable low input currents for large differential input voltages and swings above V+.

OPAMP
• Low operating current

The voltage reference is a three-terminal shunt-type bandgap similar to the adjustable LM185 series, but with improved voltage accuracy to ±0.4% accuracy by wafer trim.
Two resistors program the reference from 1.24V to 6.3V.
The reference features operation over a current range of
16 p.A to 20 mA, low dynamic impedance, broad capacitive
load range, and cathode terminal voltage ranging from a
diode-drop below V- to above V+.
As a member of National's new Super-BlockTM family, the
LM611 is a space-saving monolithic alternative to a multichip solution, offering a high level of integration without sacrificing performance.

Application Information
ence voltage. Varying that voltage, and so varying I" has
small effect with the equivalent series resistance of less
than an ohm at the higher currents. Alternatively, an active
current source, such as the LM134 series, may generate I,.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE
Reference Biasing
The voltage reference is of a shunt regulator topology that
models as a simple zener diode. With current I, flowing in
the 'forward' direction there is the familiar diode transfer
function. I, flowing in the reverse direction forces the reference voltage to be developed from cathode to anode. The
applied voltage to the cathode may range from a diode drop
below V- to the reference voltage or to the avalanche voltage of the parallel protection diode, nominally 7V. A 6.3V
reference with V+ = 3V is allowed.

LM613A/LM613
Dual Operational Amplifiers, Dual Comparators, and
Adjustable Reference
General Description

Features (Guaranteed over temperature & supply)

The operational amplifiers are a versatile common-mode-tothe-negative-supply ("single supply") type similar to the
LM124 series, but with improved slew rate, improved power
bandwidth, reduced cross-over distortion, and low supply
current even when driven beyond output swing limits. The
comparators are also a common-mode-to-the-negative-supply type, similar to the LM139 series. The op amps and comparators have lateral PNP input transistors which enable low
input currents for large differential input voltages and swings
above V+.

OP AMPS AND COMPARATORS

• Low operating current

• Large supply voltage range
• Large output swing

(10 kO load)
V- to (V+ - 1.4V)
• Input common-mode range
±36V
• Wide differential input voltage

The voltage reference is a three-terminal shunt-type bandgap similar to the adjustable LM185 series, but with anode
committed to the V- terminal and improved voltage accuracy to ±0.4%. Two resistors program the reference from
1.24V to 6.3V. The reference features operation· over a
shunt current range of 16 ILA to 20 mA, low dynamic impedance, broad capacitive load range, and cathode terminal
voltage ranging from a diode-drop below V- to above V+ .

REFERENCE
• Adjustable output voltage
• Tight initial tolerance available
• Tolerant of load capacitance

As a member of National's new Super-Block™ family, the
LM613 is a space-saving monolithic alternative to a multichip solution, offering a high level of integration without sacrificing performance.

Electrical Characteristics (Continued)
Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specHications do not apply when operating the
device beyond its rated operating conditions.
Note 2: Input voltage above V+ Is allowed. As long as one Input pin voltage remains inside the common-mode range, the comparator will deliver the correct output
Note 3: More accurately, it is excessive current flow, with resulting excess heating, thai limits the voltages on all pins. When any pin is pulled a diode drop below
V-, a parasitic NPN transistor tums ON. No latch-up will occur as long as the current through that pin remalns below the Maximum Rating. Operation Is undefined
and unpredictable when any parasitic diode or transistor is conducting.
Note 4: Simultaneous short-circuit of multiple op amps or comparators while using high supply voltages may force junction temperature above maximum, and thus
should not be continuous.
Note 5: Junction temperature may be calculated. using TJ = TA + Po 8JA. The given thermal resistances are worst-case for packages in sockets in still alr.
Nominal8JA are 8S'C/W for LM613 in J package, 8fJ'C/W for the N package, and 135'C/W for the WM package, for packages soldered to copper-<:Iad board with
dissipation from one op amp. comparator, or reference output transistor.
Note 6: Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a I.S kO resistor.
Note 7: Typical values in standard Iypeface are for TJ = 2S'C; values in boldface type apply to the military temperature range. These values represent the most
likely parametric norm.
Note 8: Testad IimHs are guaranteed and 100% tested.
Note 9: Design limits are guaranteed via correllation, but are not 100% tested.
Note 10: Offset voltage drift is calculated from the measurement of the offset voltage at 2S'C and at the temperature extremes. The drift is /;, Vos/ /;, T, where /;, Vos
is the lowest value subtracted from the highest and /;, T is the temparature range.
Note 11: Slew rate is measured with the op amp in a voltage follower configuration. For rising slew rate, the input voltage is driven from SV to 2SV, and the outpul
voliage transition is sampled at 10V and 20V. For falling slew rale, the input voltage is driven from 2SV to SV, and the oulput voltage transistion is sampled at 20V
and 10V.
Note 12: VRO Is the Cathode-t<>-Anode voltage (i.e. the reference output voltage, 1.2V to 6.3V). VR is the Cathode-t<>-FEEDBACK voltage (nominally 1.2V).
Note 13: Average reference drift is calculated from the measurement of Ihe reference voltage at 2S'C and at Ihe temperature extremes. The drift, in ppm/'C, is
tOe./;,VRIVR[25'C]o/;,TJ, where /;,VR is the lowest value subtracted from the highest, VR[2S'C] is the value at 2S'C, and /;,TJ is the temperature range.
·Note 14: Hysteresis is /;,VRO//;,TJ, where /;,VRO is the change In VRO caused by a change In TJ, after the reference has been "dehysterized". To dehysterize the
reference, ils junction lemperature should be cycled in the following pattern, spiraling in loward 2S'C: 2S'C, 125'C, - SS'C, 85'C, - 4O'C, 7fJ'C, fJ'C, 25'C.
Note 15: Low contact resistance is required for accurate measurement

VOLTAGE REFERENCE

10:5 f:51 0,000 Hz

Reference Biasing
The voltage reference is of a shunt regulator topology that
models as a simple zener diode. With current Ir flowing in
the "forward" direction there is the familiar diode transfer
function. Ir flowing in the reverse direction forces the reference voltage to be developed from cathode to anode. The
cathode may swing from a diode drop below V- to the reference voltage or to the avalanche voltage of the parallel
protection diode, nominally 7V. A 6.3V reference with V+ =
3V is allowed.

To generate the required reverse current, typically a resistor
is connected from a supply voltage higher than the reference voltage. Varying that voltage, and so varying I" has
small effect with the equivalent series resistance of less
than an ohm at the higher currents. Alternatively, an active
current source, such as the LM134 series, may generate I,.

Understanding that V, is fixed and that voltage sources, resistors, and capaCitors may be tied to the FEEDBACK pin, a
range of V, temperature coefficients may be synthesized.

TUH/9226-31

FIGURE 3. 1.2V Reference
CapaCitors in parallel with the reference are allowed. See
the Reference AC Stability Range typical curve for capacitance values-from 20 /LA to 3 mA any capacitor value is
stable. With the reference's wide stability range with resistive and capacitive loads, a wide range of RC filter values
will perform noise filtering.
Adjustable Reference
The FEEDBACK pin allows the reference output voltage,
V,o, to vary from 1.24V to 6.3V. The reference attempts to
hold V, at 1.24V. If V, is above 1.24V, the reference will
conduct current from Cathode to Anode; FEEDBACK current always remains low. If FEEDBACK is connected to Anode, then V,o = V, = 1.24V. For higher voltages FEEDBACK is held at a constant voltage above Anode-say
3.76V for Vro = 5V. Connecting a resistor across the constaint V, generates a current I = R1IV, flowing from Cathode
into FEEDBACK node. A Thevenin equivalent 3.76V is generated from FEEDBACK to Ancde with R2=3.76/1. Keep I
greater than one thousand times larger than FEEDBACK
bias current for <0.1 % error-I;;:' 32 /LA for the military
grade over the military temperature range (I;;:, 5.5 /LA for a
1% untrimmed error for a commercial part).

OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS AND COMPARATORS

v

~16J1A~

Any amp; comparator, or the reference may be biased in
any way with no effect on the other sections of the LM613,
except when a substrate diode conducts (see Electrical
Characteristics Note 1). For example, one amp input may be
outside the common-mode range, another amp may be operating as a comparator, and all other sections may have all
terminals floating with no effect on the others. Tying inverting input to output and non-inverting input to V- on unused
amps is preferred. Unused comparators should have non-inverting input and output tied to V+, and inverting input tied
to V-. Choosing operating point that cause OSCillation, such
as driving too large a capacitive loael, is best avoided.

·.r--+

TL/H/9226-37

I = Vr/RI = 1.24/R1
FIGURE 9. Current Source is Programmed by R1

Op Amp Output Stage
These op amps, like the LM124 series, have flexible and
relatively wide-swing output stages. There are simple rules
to optimize output swing, reduce cross-over distortion, and
optimize capacitive drive capability:
1) Output Swing: Unloaded, the 42 p.A pull-down will bring
the output within 300 mV of V- over the military temperature range. If more than 42 p.A is required, a resistor
from output to V- will help. Swing across any load may
be improved slighlly if the load can be tied to V+, at the
cost of poorer sinking open-loop voltage gain.

3-542

r------------------------------------------------------------------------.r

s::

Application Information

(Continued)
2) Cross-Over Distortion: The LM613 has lower cross-over
distortion (a 1 VBE deadband versus 3 VBE for the
LM124), and increased slew rate as shown in the characteristic curves. A resistor pull-up or pull-down will force
class-A operation with only the PNP or NPN output transistor conducting, eliminating cross-over distortion.
3) Capacitive Drive: Limited by the output pole caused by
the output resistance driving capacitive loads, a pulldown resistor conducting 1 mA or more reduces the output stage NPN re until the output resistance is that of the
current limit 250. 200 pF may then be driven without
oscillation.
Comparator Output Stage
The comparators, like the LM139 series, have open-collector output stages. A pull-up resistor must be added from
each output pin to a positive voltage for the output transistor
to switch properly. When the output transistor is OFF, the
output voltage will be this external positive voltage.

....
0)

For the output voltage to be under the TTL-low voltage
threshold when the output transistor is ON, the output current must be less than 8 mA (over temperature). This impacts the minimum value of pull-up resistor.

~
......

The offset voltage may increase when the output voltage is
low and the output current is less than 30 ,...A. Thus, for best
accuracy, the pull-up resistor value should be low enough to
allow the output transistor to sink more than 30 ,...A.

Co)

r

s::

....

0)

Op Amp and Comparator Input Stage
The lateral PNP input transistors, unlike those of most op
amps, have BVEBO equal to the absolute maximum supply
voltage. Also, they have no diode clamps to the positive
supply nor across the inputs. These features make the inputs look like high impedances to input sources producing
large differential and common-mode voltages.

Typical Applications
For typical applications, refer to the LM124 Op Amp, LM139
Comparator, and LM185 Adjustable Reference datasheets.

LM614A/LM614 Quad Operational Amplifiers
and Adjustable Reference
General Description

Features (Guaranteed over temperature & supply)

The quad operational amplifiers are a versatile commonmode-to-the-negative-supply ("single supply") type similar
to the LM124 series, but with improved slew rate, improved
power bandwidth, reduced cross-over distortion, and low
supply current even while driven beyond swing limits. Lateral PNP input transistors enable low input currents for large
differential input voltages and swings above V+.

OpAmps
• Low operating current

The voltage reference is a three-terminal shunt-type bandgap similar to the adjustable LM185 series, but with anode
committed to the V- terminal and improved voltage accuracy to ±0.4%. Two resistors program the reference from
1.24V to 6.3V. The reference features operation over a
shunt current range of 16 ,.A to 20 mA, low dynamic impedance, broad capacitive load range, and cathode terminal
voltage ranging from a diode-drop below V- to above V+ .
As a member of National's new Super-Block™ family, the
LM614 is a space-saving monolithic alternative to a multichip solution, offering a high level of integration without sacrificing performance.

Electrical Characteristics Notes
Note 1: More accurately, it is excessive current flow, with resulting excess heating, that limits the voltage on all pins. When any pin is pulled a diode drop below V-,
a parasitic NPN transistor tums ON. No latch-up will occur as long as the current through that pin remains below the Maximum Rating. Operation is undefined and
unpredictable when any parasitic diode or transistor is conducting.
Note 2: Simultaneous short..,ircuit of multiple op amps and reference while using high supply voltages may force junction temperature above maximum, and thus
should not be continuous.
Note 3: Junction temperature may be calculated using TJ = TA + P08JA. The given thermal resistances are worst-case for peckages In socketa In still air. Nominal
8jA are 8S'C/W for LM614 in J package, 80'C/W for the N package, and I100CIW for the WM package, for packages solderad to copper-clad board with
dissipation from one op amp or reference output transistor.
Note 4: Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a I.S kn resistor.
Note 5: Typical values in standard typeface are for TJ
likely parametric norm.

=

25'C; values in boldface tlrpe apply to the military temperature range. These values represent the most

Note 6: Tested limits are guaranteed and 100% tested.
Note 7: Design limits are guaranteed via correlation, but are not 100% tested.
Note 8: Offset voltage drift is calculated from the measurement of the offset voltage at 25'C and at the temperawre extremes. The drift is /lVoslIH, where /l Vos
is the lowest value subtracted from the highest, and /lT is the temperature range.
Note 9: Slew rate is measured with the op amp in a voltage follower configuration. For rising slew rate, the input voltage is driven from SV to 2SV, and the output
voltage transition is sampled at 10V and 20V. For falling slew rate, the input voltage is driven from 2SV to SV, and the output voltage transition is sampled at20V
and 10V.
Note 10: Vro is the Cathode-to-Anode voltage (i.e. the reference output voltage, 1.2V to a.3V). Vr is the Cathode-to-FEEDBACK voltage (nominally 1.2V).
Note 11: Average reference drift is calculated from the meesurement of the reference voltage at2S'C and at the temperature extremes. The drift, in ppmrC, Is
106• .6.VR/VR[25~Cl·b.TJ. where AVA is the lowest value subtracted from the highest, VR[2~C] is the value at 25°C, and .6.TJ is the temperature range.

Note 12: Hysteresis is /lVRo//lTJ, where /lVRO is the change in VRO caused by a change in TJ, after the reference has been "dehysterized". To dehysterize the
reference, its junction temperature should be cycled in the following pattern, spiraling in toward 2S'C: 2S'C, 125'C, - S5'C, 8S'C, - 40'C, 70'C, O'C, 2S'C.

Note 13: Low contact resistance is required for accurate measurement.

Application Information
VOLTAGE REFERENCE

Cathode

Reference Biasing
The voltage reference is of a shunt regulator topology that
models as a simple zener diode. With current Ir flowing in
the 'forward' direction there is the familiar diode transfer
function. Ir flowing in the reverse direction forces the reference voltage to be developed from cathode to anode. The
cathode may swing from a diode drop below V- to the reference voltage or to the avalanche voltage of the parallel
protection diode, nominally 7V. A 6.3V reference with V+ =
3V is allowed.

FIGURE 3. 1.2V Reference

FIGURE 1. Voltages Associated with Reference
(Current Source Ir is External)
The reference equivalent circuit reveals how Vr is held at
the constant 1.2V by feedback, and how the FEEDBACK pin
passes little current.

Adjustable Reference
The FEEDBACK pin allows the reference output voltage,
Vro, to vary from 1.24V to 6.3V. The reference attempts to
hold Vr at 1.24V. If Vr is above 1.24V, the reference will
conduct current from Cathode to Anode; FEEDBACK current always remains low. If FEEDBACK is connected to Anode, then Vro = Vr = 1.24V. For higher voltages FEEDBACK is held at a constant voltage above Anode-say
3.76V for Vro = 5V. Connecting a resistor across the constaint Vr generates a current 1= R1IVr flowing from Cathode
into FEEDBACK node. A Thevenin equivalent 3.76V is generated from FEEDBACK to Anode with R2=3.76/1. Keep I

To generate the required reverse current, typically a resistor
is connected from a supply voltage higher than the reference voltage. Varying that voltage, and so varying Ir' has
small effect with the equivalent series resistance of less
than an ohm at the higher currents. Alternatively, an active
current source, such as the LM134 series, may generate Ir.
CapaCitors in parallel with the reference are allowed. See
the Reference AC Stability Range typical curve for capacitance values-from 20 /LA to 3 mA any capaCitor value is
stable. With the reference's wide stability range with resistive and capacitive loads, a wide range of RC filter values
will perform noise filtering.

the others (tying inverting input to output and non-inverting
input to V- on unused amps is preferred). Choosing operating pOints that cause oscillation, such as driving too large a
capacitive load, is best avoided.

OP Amp Output Stage
These op amps, like their LM124 series, have flexible and
relatively wide-swing output stages. There are simple rules
to optimize output swing, reduce cross-over distortion, and
optimize capacitive drive capability:
1) Output Swing: Unloaded, the 42 p.A pull-down will bring
the output within 300 mV of V- over the military temperature range. If more than 42 p.A is required, a resistor from
output to V- will help. Swing across any load may be
improved slightly if the load can be tied to V+, at the cost
of poorer sinking open-loop voltage gain

I lO-5V
VTUH/9326-18

FIGURE 10. Proportlonal-to-Absolute-Temperature
Current Source

2) Cross-over Distortion: The LM614 has lower cross-over
distortion (a 1 VBE deadband versus 3 VBE for the
LM124), and increased slew rate as shown in the characteristic curves. A resistor pull-up or pull-down will force
class-A operation with only the PNP or NPN output transistor conducting, eliminating cross-over distortion

THERMISTOR
NTC

Rl

I lO-5V

V-

3) Capacitive Drive: Limited by the output pole caused by
the output resistance driving capacitive loads, a pulldown resistor conducting 1 rnA or more reduces the output stage NPN re until the output resistance is that of the
current limit 25fi. 200 pF may then be driven without oscillation.

TL/H/9328-19

FIGURE 11. Negative-TC Current Source
Hysteresis
The reference voltage depends, slightly, on the thermal history of the die. Competitive micro-power products vary-always check the data sheet for any given device. Do not
assume that no specification means no hysteresis.

OP Amp Input Stage
The lateral PNP input transistors, unlike most op amps,
have BVEBO equal to the absolute maximum supply voltage.
Also, they have no diode clamps to the positive supply nor
across the inputs. These features make the inputs look like
high impedances to input sources producing large differential and common-mode voltages.

OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS
Any amp or the reference may be biased in any way with no
effect on the other amps or reference, except when a substrate diode conducts (see Guaranteed Electrical Characteristics Note 1). One amp input may be outside the com-

For typical applications, refer to the LM124 Op Amp and

LM627/LM637
Precision Operational Amplifiers
General Description

Features

The LM627/LM637 series feature extremely low noise and
excellent precision along with high speed. Voltage noise is a
low 3 nV l./Hz in the flat band and rises to only 3.5 nVl./Hz at
10Hz. The A grades offer guaranteed specifications of
25 p. V offset voltage and 0.3 p.VI'C drift, and their guaranteed 126 dB CMRR, 120 dB PSRR and voltage gain of 5
Million ensure an ultra-low Vos under all conditions.
The unity-gain stable LM627 is nearly twice as fast as the
OP-27 with a slew rate of 4.5 Vlp.s and a 14 MHz gainbandwidth product. Stable at gains of 5 or more, the decompensated LM637 is considerably faster.

• Low Noise

Other enhancements of the LM627/LM637 include a guaranteed 600n load drive capability over temperature: ± 10V
output swing at voltage gains over one million. Bias current
has been reduced to 10 nA for the A and B grades and
25 nA for the C grade. Furthermore the LM627 may be overcompensated to allow it to drive capacitive loads up to
2000 pF while maintaining its superb de specs.

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
intended to be functional, but do not guamntee specific performance limits. For guaranteed speCifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Chamcteristics.
The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed.
Note 2: Input offset voltage for A and B grades Is tested and guaranteed with the device fully warmed up. See Figure 1 In the Application Hints for test circuH.
Warmup drift Is typically 5 p.v setHing out in 5 minutes. The LM627C/LM637C offset voltage is measured by automated test equipment within 200 ms of applying
power.
Note 3: Input offset voltage drift is defined as (Vos(8S'C) - Vos( - 2S'C))/ll O'C for the industrial temperature range. For the military temperature range, the input
offset voltage drift is measured from room temperature to both extremes: both (Vos(2S'C)-Vos(-SSOC))l80'C and (Vos(12S'C) - Vos(2SOC))/l00'C.
Note 4: Input offset voltage long term stability refers to the average trend line of Vos VB. time over extended periods of time after the first 30 days of operation.
Excluding the initial hour of operation, changes in Vos during the first 30 days are typically 2 ,.V.
Note 5: Guaranteed and 100% production tested. These limits are used to calculate outgoing quality levels.
Note 6: Guaranteed but not 100% production tested. These limits are not used to calculate outgoing quality levels.
Note 7: Inputs are protected by back-to-back diodes to prevent zener breakdown of the input transistors. Series limHing resistors have not been included since they
degrade noise performance. Excessive current may flow if a differential voltage in excess of 0.7V is applied.
Note 8: For operation above 2S'C, the maximum power dissipation specification must be derated. Typical junction·to-ambient thermal resistance of the molded DIP
and the ceramic DIP are 9SOC/W and 10SOC/W respectively. The metal can package has a typical junction-to·ambientthermal resistance of ISO'C/W and a typical

OFFSET VOLTAGE
Offset voltage of the LM627/637 is internally trimmed to a
very low value. The data sheet Vas specification applies at
TJ = 25"C, VCM = 0 and ±15V supplies. For other temperatures, common-mode voltages, and supply voltages, temperature drift, common-mode rejection and power-supply rejection errors must be taken into account.

TL/H/9212-5

FIGURE 3. Improved Sensitivity Offset Adjust
Every 100",V of offset will produce a 0.33 ",VfOC drift component. For this reason the offset adjust potentiometer
should not be used to null out a sensor offset if system
temperature drift is important; rather a stable voltage reference must be added to the sensor voltage. Offset voltage
drift is guaranteed by deSign for the LM627C either with or
without external nulling. The higher precision A and B
grades are 100% drift tested and guaranteed without nulling
only.

Since the LM627/LM637C offset voltage is measured within
200 ms of applying power, the 5 p.V typical warmup drift is
not accounted for in the measurement. Fortunately, the
warmup drift is a small fraction of its 100 p.V max offset. For
the 25 p.V A and 50p.V B grades, the offset voltage is measured with the circuit of Figure 1 approximately 5 minutes
after applying power.
To measure Vas with high accuracy, Vas must be amplified
right at the device as shown; otherwise the offset voltage
can be obscured by noise and thermoelectric voltages.
Thermocouples occur in the devices, the IC socket and the
resistor across the device inputs (R2), all of which must be
held isothermal. Usually best results are obtained by placing
the circuit in a box or chamber to minimize airflow and employing a long thermal soak time. R2 should be mounted
symmetrically with respect to potential thermal gradients:
e.g. not perpendicular to the board but instead parallel to
the board and the device socket. In addition, R2 should
have low thermal EMF. Cermet or nichrome metal film types
are acceptable; avoid tin-oxide resistors.

OVERCOMPENSATION
Without any external compensation, the LM627 is stable at
unity gain and up to 500 pF load capacitance. It has a slew
rate of 4.5 VI "'S and a gain-bandwidth product of 14 MHz. If
desired, the amplifier may be overcompensated by adding
external components as shown in Figure 4. This increases
maximum capacitive loading to 2000 pF while decreasing
slew rate to 1.5 V/",s and bandwidth to 1.5 MHz. If overcompensation of the LM627 (or the LM637) is not desired,
pin 5 should be left open.

TL1H/9212-6

FIGURE 4. Overcompensation
NOISE
When measuring spot noise voltage, a circuit as shown in
Figure 5 is recommended. The OUT running at a gain of
100 will not roll off until approximately 140 kHz. Adding the
second gain of 100 amplifier brings total OUT-input-referred
gain up to 10,000, which minimizes to minimize sensitivity to
EMI in the environment. When measuring spot noise at 30
Hz, it is recommended that the spectrum analyzer bandwidth be 20 Hz or less to minimize pickup at line frequency.

TUH/9212-3

FIGURE 1. Offset Voltage Test Circuit
OFFSET NULLING
This is usually not required on the LM627/637 family since
its offset voltage is internally trimmed. An offset adjust
range of approximately ± 2 mV is available using a single 10
or 20 kO potentiometer as shown in Rgure 2. With these
values, the adjustment is relatively linear over the entire
range. If a 100 kO potentiomer is used, the adjustment becomes very coarse at the extremes (above 700 p.V) but fine
in the center, which makes it easier to precisely null the
offset. For even more sensitivity, employ a pot in conjunction with two fixed resistors. The circuit of Figure 3, which
uses this technique, has an adjustment range of ± 200 ",V.
Because adjusting the offset voltage of an LM627/637 will
alter its offset voltage temperature drift, caution is advised.

Application Hints (Continued)
The circuit used to measure peak-to-peak noise voltage in
the 0.1 to 10 Hz range is shown in Rgure 6. The device
should be warmed up for about 2 minutes and shielded from
air currents to minimize warmup drift and thermoelectric
voltages. The test time should be limited to only 10 seconds, as this limits noise contributions below 0.1 Hz, as
does the single zero rolloff. The measuring equipment must
be flat down to 0.1 Hz. DC coupling must be employed to
ensure this. Certain types of X-Y plotters may not be usable
because of severe rolloff above a few Hz.

LM741/LM741A/LM741C/LM741 E Operational Amplifier
The LM741 series are general purpose operational amplifiers which feature improved performance over industry standards like the LM709. They are direct, plug-in replacements
for the 709C, LM201, MC1439 and 748 in most applications.
The amplifiers offer many features which make their application nearly foolproof: overload protection on the input and

output, no latch-up when the common mode range is exceeded, as well as freedom from oscillations.
The LM741C/LM741E are identical to the LM741 ILM741 A
except that the LM741C/LM741E have their performance
guaranteed over a O'C to + 70'C temperature range, instead of - 55'C to + 125'C.

LM759/LM77000
Power Operational Amplifiers
General Description

Features

The LM759 and LM77000 are high performance operational
amplifiers that feature high output current capability. The
LM759 is capable of providing 325 mA and the LM77000
providing 250 mAo Both amplifiers feature small signal characteristics that are better than the LM741. The amplifiers
are designed to operate from a single or dual power supply
with an input common mode range that includes the negative supply. The high gain and high output power provide
superior performance. Internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe area compensation are employed making
the LM759 and LM77000 essentially indestructible.

• Output current
LM759-325 mA minimum
LM77000-250 mA minimum
• Internal short circuit current limiting
• Internal thermal overload protection
• Internal output transistors safe-area protection
• Input common mode voltage range includes ground or

Nate 1: Although the internal power dissipation is limited, the iunction temperature must be kept below the maximum specified temperature in order to meet data
sheet specifications. To calculate the maximum junction temperature or heat sink required, use the thermal resistance values which follow the Equivalent Circuit

Schematic.
Note 2: For a supply voltage less than 30V between V+ and V-. the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply voltage.

The LM759 in the 8-Lead TO-99 metal can package must
be used with a heat sink. With ± 15V power supplies, the
LM759 can dissipate up to 540 mW in its quiescent (no
load) state. This would result in a 100·G rise in chip temperature to 125·C (assuming a 25·G ambient temperature). In
order to avoid this problem, it is advisable to use either a slip
on or stud mount heat sink with this package. If a stud
mount heat sink is used, it may be necessary to use insulating washers between the stud and the chassis because the
case of the LM759 is internally connected to the negative
power supply terminal.

P
_ TJMax - TAor
o Max - IIJC + IICA
= TJ Max - TA (without a heat sink)

IICA = IIcs

+

IIJA
liSA

Solving TJ:
TJ = TA + Po (IIJC + IICA) or
= TA + POIIJA (without a heat sink)
Where:
TJ
= Junction Temperature
TA = Ambient Temperature
Po = Power Dissipation
IIJA = Junction to ambient thermal resistance
IIJC = Junction to case thermal resistance
IICA = Case to ambient thermal resistance
IIcs = Case to heat sink thermal resistance
liSA = Heat sink to ambient thermal resistance

The LM759CP and LM77000CP are designed to be attached by the tab to a heat sink. This heat sink can be either
one of the many heat sinks which are commercially available, a piece of metal such as the equipment chassis, or a
suitable amount of copper foil as on a double sided PC
board. The important thing to remember is that the negative
power supply connection to the op amp must be made
through the tab. Furthermore, adequate heat sinking must
be provided to keep the chip temperature below 125·C under worst case load and ambient temperature conditions.

LM776
Multi-Purpose Programmable Operational Amplifier
General Description

Features

The LM776 Programmable Operational Amplifier is constructed using the Planar Epitaxial process. High input impedance. low supply currents. and low input noise over a
wide range of operating supply voltages coupled with programmable electrical characteristics result in an extremely
versatile amplifier for use in high accuracy, low power consumption analog applications. Input noise voltage and current, power consumption, and input current can be optimized by a single resistor or current source that sets the
chip quiescent current for nano watt power consumption or
for characteristics similar to the LM741. Internal frequency
compensation, absence of latch up, high slew rate and short
circuit current protection assure ease of use in long time
integrators, active filters, and sample and hold circuits.

• Micropower consumption
II ± 1.2V to ± 18V operation
• No frequency compensation required
• Low input bias currents
• Wide programming range

LM833 Dual Audio Operational Amplifier
General Description

Features

The LM833 is a dual general purpose operational amplifier
designed with particular emphasis on performance in audio
systems.

• Wide dynamic range
• Low input noise voltage

This dual amplifier IC utilizes new circuit and processing
techniques to deliver low noise, high speed and wide bandwidth without increasing external components or decreasing
stability. The LM833 is internally compensated for all closed
loop gains and is therefore optimized for all preamp and
high level stages in PCM and HiFi systems.
The LM833 is pin-for-pin compatible with industry standard
dual operational amplifiers.

• High slew rate
• High gain bandwidth product
•
•
•
•

Wide power bandwidth
Low distortion
Low offset voltage
Large phase margin

Application Hints
The LMB33 is a high speed op amp with excellent phase
margin and stability. Capacitive loads up to 50 pF will cause
little change in the phase characteristics of the amplifiers
and are therefore allowable.

Capacitive loads greater than 50 pF must be isolated from
the output. The most straightforward way to do this is to put
a resistor in series with the output. This resistor will also
prevent excess power dissipation if the output is accidental·
Iy shorted.

3·60B

Noise Measurement Circuit
Complete shielding is required to prevent induced pick up from external

sources. Always check with oscilloscope for power line noise.

Note 1: For operating at high temperatures, the device must be derated based on a 125°C maximum junction temperature and a thermal resistance of 92°C/W
which applies for the device soldered in a printed circuit board, operating in a still air ambient. Thermal resistance for the S.D. package is 131 c C/W.
Note 2: The output current sink capability can be increased for large signal conditions by overdriving the inverting input. This is shown in the section on Typical
Characteristics.
Note 3: This spec indicates the current gain of the current mirror which is used as the non-inverting input.
Note 4: Input VSE match between the non·inverting and the inverting inputs occurs for a mirror current (non-inverting input current) of approximately 10 p.A. This is
therefore a typical deSign center for many of the application circuits.
Note 5: Clamp transistors are included on the IC to prevent the input voltages from swinging below ground more than approximately -0.3 VDC. The negative input
currents which may result from large signal overdrive with capacitance input coupling need to be externally limited to values of approximately 1 rnA. Negative input
currents in excess of 4 rnA will cause the output voltage to drop to a low voltage. This maximum current applies to anyone of the input terminals. If more than one
of the input terminals are simultaneously driven negative smaller maximum currents are allowed. Common·mode current biasing can be used to prevent negative
input voltages; see for example, the "Differentiator Circuit" in the applications section.
Note 6: These specs apply for -40°C

~

TA ::s;: +85°C, unless otherwise stated.

Note 7: Human body model, 1.5 kn in series with 100 pF.

Application Hints
When driving either input from a low-impedance source, a
limiting resistor should be placed in series with the input
lead to limit the peak input current. Currents as large as
20 mA will not damage the device, but the current mirror on
the non-inverting input will saturate and cause a loss of mirror gain at mA current levels-especially at high operating
temperatures.

Unintentional signal coupling from the output to the non-inverting input can cause oscillations. This is likely only in
breadboard hook-ups with long component leads and can
be prevented by a more careful lead dress or by locating the
non-inverting input biasing resistor close to the IC. A quick
check of this condition is to bypass the non-inverting input
to ground with a capacitor. High impedance biasing resistors used in the non-inverting input circuit make this input
lead highly susceptible to unintentional AC Signal pickup.
Operation of this amplifier can be best understood by noticing that input currents are differenced at the inverting-input
terminal and this difference current then flows through the
external feedback resistor to produce the output voltage.
Common-mode current biasing is generally useful to allow
operating with signal levels near ground or even negative as
this maintains the inputs biased at + VBE. Internal clamp
transistors (see note 5) catCh-negative input voltages at approximately -0.3 VOC but the magnitude of current flow has
to be limited by the external input network. For operation at
high temperature, this limit should be approximately 100 )LA.

Precautions should be taken to insure that the power supply
for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity
or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards in a
test socket as an unlimited current surge through the resulting forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of the
internal conductors and result in a destroyed unit.
Output short circuits either to ground or to the positive power supply should be of short time duration. Units can be
destroyed, not as a result of the short circuit current causing
metal fusing, but rather due to the large increase in IC chip
dissipation which will cause eventual failure due to excessive junction temperatures. For example, when operating
from a well-regulated + 5 VOC power supply at TA = 25'C
with a 100 ko' shunt-feedback resistor (from the output to
the inverting input) a short directly to the power supply will
not cause catastrophic failure but the current magnitude will
be approximately 50 mA and the junction temperature will
be above TJ max. Larger feedback resistors will reduce the
current, 11 MO, provides approximately 30 mA, an open circuit provides 1.3 mA, and a direct connection from the output to the non-inverting input will result in catastrophic failure when the output is shorted to V+ as this then places the
base-emitter junction of the input transistor directly across
the power supply. Short-circuits to ground will have magnitudes of approximately 30 mA and will not cause catastrophic failure at TA = 25'C.

This new "Norton" current-differencing amplifier can be
used in most of the applications of a standard IC op amp.
Performance as a DC amplifier using only a single supply is
not as precise as a standard IC op amp operating with split
supplies but is adequate in many less critical applications.
New functions are made possible with this amplifier which
are useful in single power supply systems. For example,
biasing can be designed separately from the AC gain as was
shown in the "inverting amplifier," the "difference integrator" allows controlling the charging and the discharging of
the integrating capaCitor with positive voltages, and the "frequency doubling tachometer" provides a simple circuit
which reduces the ripple voltage on a tachometer output DC
voltage.

LM3080/LM3080A
Operational Transconductance Amplifier
General Description

Features

The LM3080 is a programmable transconductance block intended to fulfill a wide variety of variable gain applications.
The LM3080 has differential inputs and high impedance
push-pull outputs. The device has high input impedance and
its transconductance (gm) is directly proportional to the amplifier bias current (lASel.

•
•
•
•
•

l>

Slew rate (unity gain compensated): 50 V / 1'.5
Fully adjustable gain: 0 to gm • RL limit
Extended gm linearity: 3 decades
Flexible supply voltage range: ± 2V to ± 18V
Adjustable power consumption

High slew rate together with programmable gain make the
LM3080 an ideal choice for variable gain applications such
as sample and hold, multiplexing, filtering, and multiplying.
The LM3080N and LM3080AN are guaranteed from OOG to

+70'G.

General Description
The LM3303, LM3403, and LM3503 are monolithic quad operational amplifiers consisting of four independent high gain,
internally frequency compensated, operational amplifiers
designed to operate from a single power supply or dual
power supplies over a wide range of voltages. The common
mode input range includes the negative supply, thereby
eliminating the necessity for external biasing components in
many applications.

Features

• Four internally compensated operational amplifiers in a
single package
• Wide power supply range single supply of 3.0V to 36V
dual supply of ± 1.5V to ± 18V
• Class AS output stage for minimal crossover distortion
• Short circuit protected outputs
• High open loop gain 200k
• LM741 operational amplifier type perlormance

Applications

• Input common mode voltage range includes ground or
negative supply
• Output voltage can swing to ground or negative supply

• Filters
• Voltage controlled oscillators

General Description

Features

The LM4250 and LM4250C are extremely versatile programmable monolithic operational amplifiers. A single external master bias current setting resistor programs the input
bias current, input offset current, quiescent power consumption, slew rate, input noise, and the gain-bandwidth product.
The device is a truly general purpose operational amplifier.
The LM4250C is identical to the LM4250 except that the
LM4250C has its performance guaranteed over a O'C to
+ 70'C temperature range instead of the - 55'C to + 125'C
temperature range of the LM4250.

• ± 1V to ± 18V power supply operation
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

3 nA input offset current
Standby power consumption as low as 500 nW
No frequency compensation required
Programmable electrical characteristics
Offset voltage nulling capability
Can be powered by two flashlight batteries

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 of unity gair. connections for a voltage follower,
Inverter, and integrator driving capacitive loads up to
1000 pF are sho'Nn here. Different R1-C1 time constants
and capacitive loads will have an effect on settling times.
Input Bias Current Compensation

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.

Input bias current of the first op amp can be reduced or
balanced out by the second op amp. 80th amplifiers are laid
out in mirror image fashion and in close proximity to each
other, thus both input bias currents will be nearly identical

Co)

Features

The LM6161 family of high-speed amplifiers exhibits an exand
cellent speed-power product in delivering 300 VI
50 MHz unity gain stability with only 5 mA of supply current.
Further power savings and application convenience are
possible by taking advantage of the wide dynamic range in
operating supply voltage which extends all the way down to
+5V.

"'S

These amplifiers are built with National's VIPTM (Vertically
Integrated PNP) process which provides fast PNP transistors that are true complements to the already fast NPN devices. This advanced junction-isolated process delivers high
speed performance without the need for complex and expensive dielectric isolation.

Note 1: Continuous short-circuit operation at elevated ambient temperature can result in exceeding the maximum allowed junction temperature of 1500C.

Note 2: The typical junction-ta-ambient thermal resistance of the molded plastic DIP (N) is 10S'C/W, the molded plastic SO (M) package is ISS'C/W, and the
cerdip (J) package is I 25"C/W. All numbers apply for packages soldered directly into a printed circuit board.
Note 3: Unless otherwise specified, all limils guaranteed for TA = T) = 2S'C with supply voltage = ±ISV, VCM = OV, and RL ~ 100 kil. Boldface limits apply
over the range listed under "Operating Temperature Range" with TA = T, in the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" section.
Note 4: All limils guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). All limits are 100% production
tested.
Note 5: All limils guaranteed at temperature extremes (bold type face) via correlation using standard Statistical Quality Control (SOC) methods.
Note 6: For single supply operation, the following conditions apply: V+ = SV, V- = OV, VCM = 2.SV, VauT = 2.SV. Pin I & Pin 8 (Vas Adjust) are each
connected to Pin 4 (V-) to realize maximum output swing. This connection will degrade Vas, Vas Drift, and Input Voltage Noise.
Note 7: CL ,; 5 pF.
Note 8: In order to achieve optimum AC performance, the input stage was designed without protective clamps. Exceeding the maximum differential input voltage
results in reverse breakdown of the base-emitter junction of one of the input transistors and probable degradation of the input parameters (especially Vas, los, and

Noise).
Note 9: The average voltage that the weakest pin combinations (those involving Pin 2 or Pin 3) can withstand and still conform to the datasheet limits. The test
circuit used consists of the human body model of 100 pF in series with ISOOil.
Note 10: VIN = 8V step. For supply = ± SV, VIN = SV step.
Note 11: Voltage Gain is the total output swing (20V) divided by the input signal required to produce that swing.
Note 12: The voltage between V+ and either input pin must not exceed 36V.

Applications Tips
The LM6361 has been compensated for unity-gain operation. Since this compensation involved adding emitter-degeneration resistors to the op amp's input stage, the openloop gain was reduced as the stability increased. Gain error
due to reduced AVOL is most apparent at high gains; thus,
for gains between 5 and 25, the less-compensated LM6364
should be used, and the uncompensated LM6365 is appropriate for gains of 25 or more. The LM6361, LM6364, and
LM6365 have the same high slew rate, regardless of their
compensation.

however, improve the stability and transient response and is
recommended for every design. 0.01 fLF to 0.1 fLF ceramic
capacitors should be used (from each supply "rail" to
ground); if the device is far away from its power supply
source, an additional 2.2 fLF to 10 fLF of tantalum may provide extra noise reduction.
Keep all leads short to reduce stray capacitance and lead
inductance, and make sure ground paths are low-impedance, especially where heavier currents will be flowing.
Stray capacitance in the circuit layout can cause signal coupling across adjacent nodes and can cause gain to unintentionally vary with frequency.
Breadboarded circuits will work best if they are built using
generic PC boards with a good ground plane. If the op amps
are used with sockets, as opposed to being soldered into
the circuit, the additional input capacitance may degrade
circuit performance.

The LM6361 is unusually tolerant of capacitive loads. Most
op amps tend to oscillate when their load capacitance is
greater than about 200 pF (especially in low-gain circuits).
The LM6361 's compensation is effectively increased with
load capacitance, reducing its bandwidth and increasing its
stability.
Power supply bypassing is not as critical for the LM6361 as
it is for other op amps in its speed class. Bypassing will,

General Description

Features

The LM6164 family of high-speed amplifiers exhibits an excellent speed-power product in delivering 300V per ,..s and
175 MHz GBW (stable down to gains as low as + 5) with
only 5 mA of supply current. Further power savings and application convenience are possible by taking advantage of
the wide dynamic range in operating supply voltage which
extends all the way down to +5V.

These amplifiers are built with National's VIPTM (Vertically
Integrated PNP) process which produces fast PNP transistors that are true complements to the already fast NPN devices. This advanced junction-isolated process delivers high
speed performance withou1 the need for complex and expensive dielectric isolation.

Applications Tips
The LM6364 has been compensated for gains of 5 or greater (over specified ranges of temperature, power supply voltage, and load). Since this compensation involved adding
emitter-degeneration resistors in the op amp's input stage,
the open-loop gain was reduced as the stability increased.
Gain error due to reduced AVOL is most apparent at high
gains; thus, the uncompensated LM6365 is appropriate for
gains of 25 or more. If unity-gain operation is desired, the
LM6361 should be used. The LM6361, LM6364, and
LM6365 have the same high slew rate (typically 300 V I p.s),
regardless of their compensation.

series resistor-capacitor network should be added between
the input pins (as shown in the Typical Applications, Noise
Gain Compensation) so that the high-frequency noise gain
rises to at least 5.
Power supply bypaSSing will improve the stability and transient response of the LM6364, and is recommended for every design. 0.01 ,.F to 0.1 ,.F ceramic capacitors should be
'used (from each supply "rail" to ground); if the device is far
away from its power supply source, an additional 2.2 p.F to
10 p.F (tantalum) may be required for extra noise reduction.
Keep all leads short to reduce stray capacitance and lead
inductance, and make sure ground paths are low-impedance, especially where heavier currents will be flowing.
Stray capacitance in the circuit layout can cause signal coupling between adjacent nodes, so that circuit gain unintentionally varies with frequency.
Breadboarded circuits will work best if they are built using
generic PC boards with a good ground plane. If the op amps
are used with sockets, as opposed to being soldered into
the circuit, the additional input capacitance may degrade
circuit performance.

The LM6364 is unusually tolerant of capacitive loads. Most
op amps tend to oscillate when their load capacitance is
greater than abou1 200 pF (in low-gain circuits). However,
load capacitance on the LM6364 effectively increases its
compensation capacitance, thus slowing the op amp's response and reducing its bandwidth. The compensation is
not ideal, though, and ringing or oscillation may occur in
low-gain circuits with large capacitive loads. To overcompensate the LM6364 for operation at gains less than 5, a

LM6165/LM6265/LM6365
High Speed Operational Amplifier
General Description

Features

The LM6165 family of high-speed amplifiers exhibits an excellent speed-power product in delivering 300 V I IJ-s and
725 MHz GBW (stable for gains as low as +25) with only
5 mA of supply current. Further power savings and application convenience are possible by taking advantage of the
wide dynamic range in operating supply voltage which extends all the way down to +5V.
These amplifiers are built with National's VIPTM (Vertically
Integrated PNP) process which produces fast PNP transistors that are true complements to the already fast NPN devices. This advanced junction-isolated process delivers high
speed performance without the need for complex and expensive dielectric isolation.

Note 1: Continuous short-circuit operation at elevated ambient temperature can result in exceeding the maximum allowed junction temperature of 1500C.

Note 2: The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the molded plastic DIP (N) is 105°C/Watt, and the molded plastic SO (M) package is I 55°C/Watt, and
the cerdip (J) package is 125°C/Watt. All numbers apply for packages soldered directly into a printed circuit board.
Note 3: Unless otherwise specified, all limits guaranteed for Ta = Ti = 25°C with supply voltage = ± 15V, VCM = OV, and RL ;" 100 kil. Boldface lim"s apply
over the range listed under "Operating Temperature Range".

Note 4: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). All limits are 100% production
tested.
Note 5: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). All limits are guaranteed via
correlation using standard Statistical Ouality Control (SOC) methods.
Note 6: For single supply operation, the following conditions apply: V + = 5V, V - = OV, VCM = 2.5C, Your = 2.5V. Pin I & Pin 8 (Vas Adjust) are each
connected to Pin 4 (V-) to realize maximum output swing. This co~neclion will degrade Vas.
Note 7: CL ,;: 5 pF.
Note 8: In order to achieve optimum AC performance, the input stage was designed without protective clamps. Exeeding the maximum differential input voltage
results in reverse breakdown of the base-emitter junction of one of the input transistors and probable degradation of the input parameters (especially Vas. los, and
Noise).
Note 9: The average voltage that the weakest pin combinations (those involving Pin 2 or Pin 3) can withstand and still conform to the datasheet limits. The test
circuit used consists of the human body model of 100 pF in series with 1500il.
Note 10: VIN = 0.7V step. For supply = ±5V, VIN = 0.2V step.
Note 11: Voltage Gain is the total output swing (20V) divided by the input signal required to produce that swing.
Nole 12: The voltage between V+ and either input pin must not exceed 36V.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions. see the

Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test condition listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is
not operated under the listed test conditions.
Note 2: In onder to achieve optimum AC performance. the input stage was designed without protective clamps. Exceeding the maximum differential input voltage
results in reverse breakdown of the base-emitter junction of one of the input transistors. Degradation of the input parameters (especially Vos, los, and Noise) is
proportional to the level of the externally limited breakdown current and the accumulated duration of the breakdown condition.
Note 3: Continuous short-circuit operation of AI at elevated temperature can result in exceeding the maximum allowed junction temperature of 125"C. A2 contains

Application Hints
The LM6313 is a high-speed, high power operational amplifier that is designed for driving low-impedance loads such
as 50n and 75n cables. Available in the standard, low cost,
16-pin DIP, this amplifier will drive back terminated video
cables with up to 10 Vp-p. The ability to add additional compensation allows the LM6313 to drive capacitive loads of
any size at bandwidths previously possible only with very
expensive hybrid devices.
The LM6313 is excellent for driving high-speed flash A-to-D
converters that require low-impedance drive at high frequencies. At 1 MHz, when used as a buffer, the LM6313
output impedance is below 0.1 n. This very low output impedance also means that cables can be accurately backterminated by just placing the characteristic impedance in
series with the LM6313 output.
OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION

If the LM6313 is being operated on supply voltages of greater than ±5V, the possibility of damaging the output stage
transistors exists. At higher supply voltages, if the output is
shorted or excessive power dissipation causes the output
stage to shut down, the maximum A2 input-to-output voltage, can be exceeded. This occurs when the input stage
tries to drive the output while the output is at ground. To
prevent this from happening, an easy solution is to place
diodes around the output stage (See Figure 4). This will
limit the maximum differential voltage to about 1.3V. Any
signal diode, such as the 1N914 or the 1N4148 will work
fine.

TL/H/10521-11

FIGURE 4

SUPPLY BYPASSING

Because of the large currents required to drive low-impedance loads, supply bypassing as close as possible to the
I.C. is important. At 50 MHz, a few inches of wire or circuit
trace can have 20n or 30n of inductive reactance. This
inductance in series with a 0.1 ,...F bypass capacitor can
resonate at 1 MHz to 2 MHz and just appear as an inductor
at higher frequencies. A 0.1 ,...F and a 1O,...F to 15 ,...F capacitor connected in parallel and as close as possible to the
LM6313 supply pins, from each supply to ground, will give
best performance.
SELECTION OF COMPENSATION CAPACITOR

The compensation pin, pin 15, makes it possible to drive
any load at any closed loop gain without stability problems.
In most cases, where the gain is -1 or greater and the load
is resistive, no compensation capacitor is required. When
used at unity gain or when driving reactive loads, a small
capacitor of 5 pF to 20 pF will insure optimum performance.
The easiest way to determine the best value of compensation capacitor is to temporarily connect a trimmer capacitor
(typical range of 2 pF to 15 pF) between pin 15, and ground,
and adjust it for little or no overshoot at the output while
driving the input with a square wave.
If the actual load capaCitance is known, the typical graphs
"Gain-Bandwidth and Phase Margin vs. Load Capacitance"
can be used to select a value.
VIDEO CABLE DRIVER
The LM6313 is ideally suited for driving 50n or 75n cables.
Unlike a buffer that requires a separate gain stage to make
up for the losses involved in termination, the LM6313 gain
can be set to 1 plus the line losses when the transmission
line is end-terminated. If back-termination is needed, adding
the line impedance in series with the output and raising the
gain to 2 plus the expected line losses will provide a 0 dB
loss system. Figure 5 illustrates the back and end terminated video system including compensation for line losses. The
excellent stability of the LM6313 with changes in supply
voltages allow running the amplifier on unregulated supplies. The typical change in phase shift when the supplies
are changed from ± 5V to ± 15V is less than 3' at 10 MHz.

HEAT SINKING

1.1k

When driving a low impedance load such as 50n, and operating from ± 15V supplies, the internal power dissipation of
the LM6313 can rise above 3W. To prevent overheating of
the chip, which would cause the thermal protection circuitry
to shut the system down, the following guidelines should be
followed:
1. Reduce the supply voltage. The LM6313 will operate
with little change in performance, except output voltage
swing, on ± 5V supplies. This will reduce the dissipation
to the level where no precautions against overheating
are necessary for loads of 1on or more.
2. Solder pins 4, 5, 12 and 13 to copper traces which are at
least 0.100 inch wide and have a total area of at least 2
square inches, to obtain a ()JA of 40'C/W. These four
pins are connected to the back of the chip and will be at
V -. They should not be used as a V - connection unless pin 3 is also connected to this same point.

change R2 to 5 kfl and R4 to 15fl.

LM13080
Programmable Power Operational Amplifier
General Description
The LM130BO is an internally compensated medium power
operational amplifier designed for use in those applications
requiring load currents of several hundred milliamperes.
This amplifier has the added advantage of having an input
stage programmed with an external resistor. The user is
able to optimize the amplifier performance for each individual application with this feature. Applications include servo
amplifiers and drivers, high input impedance audio amplifiers, DC-to-DC converters, precision power comparators
which can either sink or source current and motor speed
controls.

By selecting the proper input stage bias resistor it is possible to tailor the performance of the input stage to meet the
needs of any particular system. Trade-ofts between input
offset voltage, input bias current and gain bandwidth are
easily made.
An unusual feature of the LM130BO is an electronic shutdown capability.

Features
•
•
•
•
•
•

The LM130BO may be powered from either single or dual
power supplies, and will operate from as little as 3V.
As a power operational amplifier, the LM130BO is capable of
delivering 0.25A to a load. This feature allows the system
designer to fulfill his medium power circuit requirements
without having to add external current boost transistors to
the output of a standard operational amplifier.

Note 1: For operation at high temperatures, the lM130BO must be derated based upon a maximum junction temperature of 150"C and a thermal resistance of
10rrC/W. The thermal resistance values given are for a still air ambient with the package soldered into a printed circuit board.
Note 2: Differential input voltages up to the magnitude Of the power supply voltage will not damage the input circuitry. However, input voltages outside the input
common-mode voltage range will not be able to properly control the output of the amplifier.
Note 3: The input voltage applied to either input should not be allowed to go more than O.3V below the potential applied to pin 4; however. either input can be taken
as high as 15V without causing damage to the circuillnput voltages below the minimum common-mode voltage range may cause a phase reversal in the outpul

Note 4: This input current will exist only when the voltage at either input lead is driven negative. It is due to the base-isolation junction of the PNP transistor tub
becoming forward biased and thereby acting as an input diode clamp. In addition to this diode action, there is also lateral NPN parasitic action on the Ie chip. This
transistor action can cause the output to take an undefined state for the time duration that an input is driven negative.

Note 6: Supply current is measured with the amplifier connected in a unity gain follower configuration and the positive input set

Application Hints
The LM13080 is a power op amp capable of sourcing or
sinking more than 250 mA and does not include internal
current limit or thermal shut-down. Therefore, the user must
make sure that his application will not cause the power dissipation rating of the package to be exceeded. The
LM13080 is rated at a maximum dissipation of 1250 mW at
25'C. For operation at temperatures above 25'C, the maximum dissipation must be derated using the equation:
TJ - TA
PD=--0JA

To employ electronic shut-down the output bias pin, pin 2,
and the negative end of the input bias resistor, RSEl, are
connected to the negative power supply (or ground in a single power system) through a saturated NPN transistor (or
other electronic switch). When the transistor is turned OFF,
all of the bias currents inside the op amp are turned OFF
and all input and output terminals will float. When first
turned ON, the output will take about 5 ,.,.S to reach the
correct level. To insure that the LM13080 is OFF, leakage in
the control device must be below the level that will allow
pins 2 and 7 to fall to O.4V below V+ .

where PD is the maximum allowable power dissipation, TJ is
the maximum junction temperature (150'C), TA is the ambient temperature and 0JA is the thermal resistance of the
package operated in a still air environment. 0JA for the
LM13080N is 100'C/W. For example, if the LM13080N is
used in free air in a 70'C ambient, the maximum power that
can be dissipated is:

Power supply rejection is a function of the change in voltage
across the input bias resistor, RSEl. To improve the PSRR
of the LM13080, the user must be careful to bypass pin 7 to
pin 6 or to establish a floating voltage referenced to the
positive power supply to serve as a connection point for
RSEl. In applications where PSRR is important, it is imperative that a supply bypass capacitor(s) be used.

Typical Applications

150'C - 70'C
PD =

100'C/W

= 800 mW

LINE DRIVER
The line driver circuit in Figure 1 is able to accept an unbalanced, high impedance input and convert it to a balanced
output suitable for driving a low impedance line. This is particularly useful in an environment where magnetically induced hum or noise pickup is a problem.

The LM13080 derives its ability to sink current through the
use of a composite NPN/PNP output configuration. This 10cal loop must be compensated by the series connection of a
0.05 ,.,.F capacitor and a 10.11 resistor between the output of
the op amp (pin 5) and the negative power supply (pin 4).
The RC does not just filter out the oscillation from the output
waveform but actually stabilizes the loop.

The outputs of the 2 LM 13080s are of oppOSite polarity;
therefore, terminating the line with a balanced load (i.e., a
differential amplifier or a transformer) will cause commonmode interference pickup to be cancelled.
This circuit will drive a 20 Vp-p signal into a 50.11 load for
frequencies up to 10kHz. Above 10kHz the output signal is
slew rate limited, but the line driver will still supply a 13 Vp-p
signal at 20 kHz. The voltage gain of the network is 2, and
the low frequency roll-off is determined by:

If the inputs of the LM13080 are driven below the input common-mode voltage range, it is possible that the output will
experience a phase reversal. This is particularly true for the
non-inverting input (VIN( + )). If either input is driven to a voltage level 0.3V below the substrate (pin 4) a paraSitic NPN
transistor will be turned ON. The emitter of this parasitic
transistor is the normal input transistor epi (N-type, base)
region, the base is the substrate (P-type) and the collector is
every other epi region on the die. Circuit operation in this
mode is unpredictable. If an input is forced below the substrate, the current flowing out of that input should be limited
to 20 mA to insure that the amplifier will not be destroyed.
Programming the LM13080 is accomplished by selecting
the value of RSEl, the input stage bias resistor, to optimize
the amplifier for each particular application. An example
would be an application with low source resistance which
requires a low offset voltage to make a precise DC measurement. By selecting an RSEl of 100 k.l1, the normal offset voltage would be reduced to approximately one-fourth
the value it would be if a 680k resistor was used. By studying the curves, it can be seen that the bias current will increase but an increase here has very little effect due to the
small source impedance. It should also be noted that with a
100k input set resistor the gain bandwidth product will also
increase, and in fact, the amplifier must be operated with a
closed loop voltage gain of 6 to assure stability.

It can be seen that if the load is connected directly between
the outputs of the amplifiers, the line driver becomes a simple bridge amplifier capable of delivering 2W into a 16.11
load.
PIEZOELECTRIC ALARM
The piezoelectric alarm shown in Figure 2 uses a 3-terminal
transducer (Gulton 101 FB or equivalent) to produce an
80 dB SPL alarm.

The transducer has a feedback terminal which is connected
to the non-inverting input of the LM 13080, causing oscillation at the resonant frequency of the piezoelectric crystal.
The alarm can be controlled through the use of the electronic shut-down feature of the amplifier. The 100k resistor and
0.1 ,.,.F capacitor are used to provide a reference voltage at
the inverting input and to keep the duty cycle of the crystal
oscillation close to 50%. The RC time constant of this feedback network should be much greater than the time constant of the transducer.

The effect of RSEl on the total quiescent supply current will
be very small (als < 5% Is) as long as RSEl is 100k or
greater.

burst rate. The second siren, Figure 4, provides a constant
audio output but alternates between 2 separate tones. The
LM 130aO is set to oscillate at one basic frequency and this
frequency is changed by adding a 200 kn charging resistor
in parallel with the feedback resistor, R2.

voltage, VIN, to the system. Diode D1 is actually a level shift
diode to bring VIN into the common·mode range of the am·
plifier. A reference voltage is established by the combined
voltage drop through the 100. potentiometer, R3 and the
reference diode, D2 and is applied to the non-inverting input
of the LM13080. Resistor R4 is a bias resistor used to keep
D2 active. The 10k speed adjust potentiometer is 2 resistors
in 1, where section R1 is the input resistance and section
R2 is the negative feedback resistance. It can be seen that
the voltage impressed across the motor is equal to:

The LM13080 can be used to construct a very simple speed
control for small motors requiring less than O.SA start current. This circuit operates by impressing the multiple of a
reference voltage across the motor, and then varying the
reference by means of a quasi·positive feedback to change
the voltage across the motor any time the load on the motor
changes.
To understand the circuit operation, it is easiest to let the
voltage at the cathode of diode D1, Figure 6, be the input

The differential transistor pair 04 and Os form a transconductance stage in that the ratio of their collector currents Is
defined by the differential input voltage according to the
transfer function:

other. The remaining transistors and diodes form three current mirrors that produce an output current equal to Is minus
14 thus:
(5)

(1)

The term in brackets is then the transconductance of the
amplifier and is proportional to IABC.

where VIN is the differential input voltage, kT /q is approximately 26 mV at 25°C and Is and 14 are the collector currents of transistors Os and 04 respectively. With the exception of 03 and 013, all transistors and diodes are identical in
size. Transistors 01 and 02 with Diode D1 form a current
mirror which forces the sum of currents 14 and Is to equal
IABC;

Linearizing Diodes
For differential voltages greater than a few millivolts, Equation 3 becomes less valid and the transconductance becomes increasingly nonlinear. Figure 1 demonstrates how
the internal diodes can linearize the transfer function of the
amplifier. For convenience assume the diodes are biased
with current sources and the input signal is in the form of
current Is. Since the sum of 14 and Is is IABC and the difference is lour, currents 14 and Is can be written as follows:

(2)

where IABC is the amplifier bias current applied to the gain
pin.
For small differential input voltages the ratio of 14 and Is
approaches unity and the Taylor series of the In function
can be approximated as:
kT In ~ ::::: kT Is - 14
q

Since the diodes and the input transistors have identical
geometries and are subject to similar voltages and temperatures, the following is true:

Linearizing Diodes (Continued)
Notice that in deriving Equation 6 no approximations have
been made and there are no temperature-dependent terms.
The limitations are that the signal current not exceed ID/2
and that the diodes be biased with currents. In practice,
replacing the current sources with resistors will generate
insignificant errors.

Applications-Voltage Controlled
Amplifiers
Figure 2 shows how the linearizing diodes can be used in a
voltage-controlled amplifier. To understand the input biasing, it is best to consider the 13 kO resistor as a curre~t
source and use a Thevenin equivalent circuit as shown In
Figure 3. This circuit is similar to Figure 1 and operates the
same. The potentiometer in Figure 2 is adjusted to minimize
the effects of the control signal at the output.

Controlled Impedance Buffers
The upper limit of transconductance is defined by the maximum value of IABC (2 mAl. The lowest value of IABC for
which the amplifier will function therefore determines the
overall dynamic range. At very low values of IABC, a buffer
which has very low input bias current is desirable. An FET
follower satisfies the low input current requirement, but is
somewhat non-linear for large voltage swing. The controlled
impedance buffer is a Darlington which modifies its input
bias current to suit the need. For low values of IABC, the
buffer's input current is minimal. At higher levels of IABC,
transistor 03 biases up 012 with a current proportional to
IABC for fast slew rate. When IABC is changed, the DC level
of the Darlington output buffer will shift. In audio applications where IABC is changed suddenly, this shift may produce an audible "pop". For these applications the LM13700
may produce superior results.

For optimum signal-to-noise performance, IABC should be
as large as possible as shown by the Output Voltage vS.
Amplifier Bias Current graph. Larger amplitudes of input signal also improve the SIN ratio. The linearizing diodes help
here by allowing larger input signals for the same output
distortion as shown by the Distortion vs. Differential Input
Voltage graph. SIN may be optimized by adjusting the magnitude of the input signal via RIN (Figure 2) until the output
distortion is below some desired level. The output voltage
swing can then be set at any level by selecting RL.
Although the noise contribution of the linearizing diodes is
negligible relative to the contribution of the amplifier's internal transistors, ID should be as large as possible. This minimizes the dynamic junction resistance of the diodes (ra) and
maximizes their linearizing action when balanced against
RIN. A value of 1 mA is recommended for ID unless the
specific application demands otherwise.

Stereo Volume Control

two LM13600 amplifiers to provide a Stereo Volume Control

replaced with two 51 on resistors in AC-coupled applications. For the component values given, amplifier gain is derived for Figure 2 as being:

The constant term in the above equation may be cancelled
by feeding Is x 10RC12 (V- + 1.4V) into 10. The circuit of
Figure 6 adds RM to provide this current, resulting in a fourquadrant multiplier where RC is trimmed such that Va = OV
for VIN2 = OV. RM also serves as the load resistor for 10.
Noting that the gain of the LM13600 amplifier of Figure 3
may be controlled by varying the linearizing diode current 10
as well as by varying IASC, Figure 7 shows as AGC Amplifier
using this approach. As Va reaches a high enough amplitude (3 VSE) to turn on the Darlington transistors and the
linearizing diodes, the increase in 10 reduces the amplifier
gain so as to hold Va at that level.

OTA's are extremely useful for implementing voltage controlled filters, with the LM13600 having the advantage that
the required buffers are included on the I.C. The VC La-Pass
Filter of Figure 11 performs as a unity-gain buffer amplifier
at frequencies below cut-off, with the cut-off frequency being the paint at which Xc/gm equals the closed-loop gain of
(R/RA). At frequencies above cut-off the circuit provides a
single RC roll-off (6 dB per octave) of the input signal amplitude with a - 3 dB point defined by the given equation,

where gm is again 19.2 x IABC at room temperature. Figure

same manner, providing a single RC roll-off below the defined cut-off frequency.
Additional amplifiers may be used to implement higher order
filters as demonstrated by the two-pole Butterworth La-Pass
Filter of Figure 13 and the state variable filter of Figure 14.
Due to the excellent gm tracking of the two amplifiers and
the varied bias of the buffer Darlingtons, these filters perform well over several decades of frequency.

Voltage Controlled Oscillators
The classic Triangular/Square Wave veo of Rgure 15 is
one of a variety of Voltage Controlled Oscillators which may
be built utilizing the LM13600. With the component values
shown, this oscillator provides signals from 200 kHz to below 2 Hz as Ic is varied from 1 mA to 10 nA. The output
amplitudes are set by IA X RA. Note that the peak differential input voltage must be less than 5V to prevent zenering
the inputs.

When V02 is low, IF goes to
zero and the capacitor discharge current is set by Ie.
The ve Lo-Pass Filter of Figure 11 may be used to produce
a high-quality sinusoidal veo. The circuit of Rgure 16 employs two LM13600 packages, with three of the amplifiers
configured as lo-pass filters and the fourth as a limiter/inverter. The circuit oscillates at the frequency at which the
loop phase-shift is 360" or 180" for the inverter and 60" per
filter stage. This veo operates from 5 Hz to 50 kHz with
less than 1 % THD.

Figure 19 presents an interesting one-shot which draws no
power supply current until it is triggered. A positive-going
trigger pulse of at least 2V amplitude turns on the amplifier
through RB and pulls the non-inverting input high. The amplifier regenerates and latches its output high until capacitor
C charges to the voltage level on the non-inverting input.
The output then switches low, turning off the amplifier and
discharging the capacitor. The capacitor discharge rate is
increased by shorting the diode bias pin to the inverting input so than an additional discharge current flows through DI
when the amplifier output switches low. A special feature of
this timer is that the other amplifier, when biased from Yo,
can perform another function and draw zero stand-by power
as well.

The Peak Detector of Figure 24 uses A2 to turn on A 1
whenever VIN becomes more positive than Vo. A1 then
charges storage capacitor C to hold Vo equal to VINPK.
One precaution to observe when using this circuit: the Dar1ington transistor used must be on the same side of the
package as A2 since the A 1 Darlington will be turned on and
off with A 1. Pulling the output of A2 low through D1 serves
to turn off A1 so that Vo remains constant.

an amount of charge equal to (VH-VLl Ct is sourced into C,

Additional Applications (Continued)
The Sample-Hold circuit of Figure 25 also requires that the
Darlington buffer used be from the other (A2) half of the
package and that the corresponding amplifier be biased on
continuously. The Ramp-and-Hold of Figure 26 sources Ie
into capacitor C whenever the input to A1 is brought high,
giving a ramp-rate of about 1 VIms for the component values shown.
The true-RMS converter of Figure 27 is essentially an automatic gain control amplifier which adjusts its gain such that
the AC power at the output of amplifier A1 is constant. The
output power of amplifier A1 is monitored by squaring amplifier A2 and the average compared to a reference voltage
with amplifier A3. The output of A3 provides bias current to
the diodes of A1 to attenuate the input signal. Because the
output power of A1 is held constant, the RMS value is constant and the attentuation is directly proportional to the
RMS value of the input voltage. The attenuation is also proportional to the diode bias current. Amplifier A4 adjusts the
ratio of currents through the diodes to be equal and therefore the voltage at the output of A4 is proportional to the
RMS value of the input voltage. The calibration potentiometer is set such that Vo reads directly in RMS volts.

The log amplifier of Figure 29 responds to the ratio of currents through buffer transistors Q3 and Q4. Zero temperature dependence for Your is ensured because the TC of the

LM 13700/LM 13700A
Dual Operational Transconductance Amplifiers
with Linearizing Diodes and Buffers
General Description

Features

The LM13700 series consists of two current controlled
transconductance amplifiers, each with differential inputs
and a push-pull output. The two amplifiers share common
supplies but otherwise operate independently. Linearizing
diodes are provided at the inputs to reduce distortion and
allow higher input levels. The result is a 10 dB signal-tonoise improvement referenced to 0.5 percent THD. High impedance buffers are provided which are especially designed
to complement the dynamic range of the amplifiers. The
output buffers of the LM13700 differ from those of the
LM13600 in that their input bias currents (and hence their
output DC levels) are independent of IABC. This may result
in performance superior to that of the LM13600 in audio
applications.

Circuit Description

Linearizing Diodes

The differential transistor pair 04 and Os form a transconductance stage in that the ratio of their collector currents is
defined by the differential input voltage according to the
transfer function:

For differential voltages greater than a few millivolts, Equation 3 becomes less valid and the transconductance becomes increasingly nonlinear. Figure 1 demonstrates how
the internal diodes can linearize the transfer function of the
amplifier. For convenience assume the diodes are biased
with current sources and the input signal is in the form of
current Is. Since the sum of 14 and Is is IABC and the difference is lOUT, currents 14 and Is can be written as follows:

(1)

where VIN is the differential input voltage, kT/q is approximately 26 mV at 25'C and Is and 14 are the collector currents of transistors Os and 04 respectively. With the exception of Oa and 01a, all transistors and diodes are identical in
size. Transistors 01 and 02 with Diode Dl form a current
mirror which forces the sum of currents 14 and Is to equal
IABC;

14

For small differential input voltages the ratio of 14 and Is
approaches unity and the Taylor series of the In function
can be approximated as:
Is - 14
q
14

IABC + lOUT

:. lOUT = Is ( 2IABC) for IIs I < 10

""ID

(6)

Notice that in deriving Equation 6 no approximations have
been made and there are no temperature-dependent terms.
The limitations are that the signal current not exceed 10/2
and that the diodes be biased with currents. In practice,
replacing the current sources with resistors will generate
insignificant errors.

Collector currents 14 and Is are not very useful by themselves and it is necessary to subtract one current from the
other. The remaining transistors and diodes form three current mirrors that produce an output current equal to Is minus
14 thus:

Applications:
Voltage Controlled Amplifiers
Figure 2 shows how the linearizing diodes can be used in a
voltage-controlled amplifier. To understand the input biasing, it is best to consider the 13 kO resistor as a current
source and use a Thevenin equivalent circuit as shown in
Figure 3. This circuit is similar to Figure 1 and operates the
same. The potentiometer in Figure 2 is adjusted to minimize
the effects of the control signal at the output.

The term in brackets is then the transconductance of the
amplifier and is proportional to IABC.

Applications:
Voltage Controlled Amplifiers

(Continued)

For optimum signal-to-noise performance, IABC should be
as large as possible as shown by the Output Voltage vs.
Amplifier Bias Current graph. Larger amplitudes of input signal also improve the SIN ratio. The linearizing diodes help
here by allowing larger input signals for the same output
distortion as shown by the Distortion vs. Differential Input
Voltage graph. SIN may be optimized by adjusting the magnitude of the input signal via RIN (Figure 2) until the output

distortion is below some desired level. The output voltage
swing can then be set at any level by selecting RL.
Although the noise contribution of the linearizing diodes is
negligible relative to the contribution of the amplifier's internal transistors, ID should be as large as possible. This minimizes the dynamic junction resistance of the diodes (re) and
maximizes their linearizing action when balanced against
RIN. A value of 1 mA is recommended for ID unless the
specific application demands otherwise.

The circuit of Figure 4 uses the excellent matching of the
two LM13700 amplifiers to provide a Stereo Volume Control
with a typical channel-to-channel gain tracking of 0.3 dB. Rp
is provided to minimize the output offset voltage and may be
replaced with two 5100 resistors in AC-coupled applications; For thecomponent"values given, amplifier gain is derived for Figure 2 as being:

If VC is derived from a second signal source then the circuit
becomes an amplitude modulator or two-quadrant multiplier

The constant term in the above equation may be cancelled
by feeding Is x loRc/2(V- + 1.4V) into 10. The circuit of
Figure 6 adds RM to provide this current, resulting in a fourquadrant multiplier where Rc is trimmed such that Vo = OV
for VIN2 = OV. RM also serves as the load resistor for 10.

Noting that the gain of the LM13700 amplifier of Figure 3
may be controlled by varying the linearizing diode current ID
as well as by varying IASC, Figure 7 shows an AGC Amplifier
using this approach. As Vo reaches a high enough ampli·
tude (3VSE) to turn on the Darlington transistors and the
linearizing diodes, the increase in ID reduces the amplifier
gain so as to hold Vo at that level.

where gm '" 19.21ASC at 25°C. Note that the attenuation of
Vo by Rand RA is necessary to maintain VIN within the
linear range of the LM13700 input.
Figure 9 shows a similar VCR where the linearizing diodes
are added, essentially improving the noise performance of
the resistor. A floating VCR is shown in Figure 10, where
each "end" of the "resistor" may be at any voltage within
the output voltage range of the LM13700.

Voltage Controlled Filters
12 shows a VC High-Pass Filter which operates in much the
same manner, providing a single RC roll-off below the defined cut-off frequency.

OTA's are extremely useful for implementing voltage controlled filters, with the LM13700 having the advantage that
the required buffers are included on the I.C. The VC La-Pass
Filter of Figure 11 performs as a unity-gain buffer amplifier
at frequencies below cut-off, with the cut-off frequency being the point at which Xci gm equals the closed-loop gain of
(R/RA). At frequencies above cut-off the circuit provides a
single RC roll-off (6 dB per octave) of the input signal amplitude with a - 3 dB point defined by the given equation,
where gm is again 19.2 x IABC at room temperature. Figure

AdJitional amplifiers may be used to implement higher order
filters as demonstrated by the two-pole Butterworth La-Pass
Filter of Figure 13 and the state variable filter of Figure 14.
Due to the excellent gm tracking of the two amplifiers, these
filters perform well over several decades of frequency.

The classic Triangular/Square Wave VCO of Figure 15 is

amplitudes are set by IA X RA. Note that the peak differential input voltage must be less than 5V to prevent zenering

loop phase-shift is 360· or 180· for the inverter and 60· per

Figure 19 presents an interesting one-shot which draws no
power supply current until it is triggered. A positive.going
trigger pulse of at least 2V amplitude turns on the amplifier
through Ra and pulls the non·inverting input high. The am·
plifier regenerates and latches its output high until capacitor
e charges to the voltage level on the non·inverting input
The output then switches low. turning off the amplifier and
discharging the capacitor. The capacitor discharge rate is
speeded up by shorting the diode bias pin to the inverting
input so that an additional diSCharge current flows through
DI when the amplifier output switches low. A special feature
of this timer is that the other amplifier. when biased from Vo.
can perform another function and draw zero stand·by power

The operation of the multiplexer of Figure 20 is very straightforward. When A 1 is turned on it holds Vo equal to VINl and
when A2 is supplied with bias current then it controls Vo. Cc

about 200 kHz by the LM13700 slew rate into 150 pF when
the (VIN1-VIN2) differential is at its maximum allowable value of 5V.

The Phase-Locked Loop of Figure 21 uses the four-quadrant multiplier of Figure 6 and the VCO of Figure 18 to produce a PLL with a ± 5% hold-in range and an input sensitivity of about 300 mV.

Figure 23 shows a Tachometer or Frequency-to-Voltage
converter. Whenever A 1 is toggled by a positive-going input.
an amount of charge equal to (VH-VLl Ct is sourced into Cj
and Rt. This once per cycle charge is then balanced by the
current of VO/Rt. The maximum FIN is limited by the amount
of time required to charge Ct from VL to VH with a current of
Ie. where VL and VH represent the maximum low and maximum high output voltage swing of the LM13700. D1 is added to provide a discharge path for Ct when A 1 switches low.

The Schmitt Trigger of Figure 22 uses the amplifier output
current into R to set the hysteresis of the comparator; thus
VH = 2 x R X Ie. Varying Ie will produce a Schmitt TriggElr
with variable hysteresis.

The Peak Detector of Figure 24 uses A2 to turn on A 1
whenever VIN becomes more positive than VO. A1 then
charges storage capacitor C to hold Vo equal to VIN PK.
Pulling the output of A2 low through D1 serves to turn off A 1
so that Vo remains constant.

The true-RMS converter of Figure 21 is essentially an automatic gain control amplifier which adjusts its gain such that
the AC power at the output of amplifier A 1 is constant. The
output power of amplifier A 1 is monitored by squaring amplifier A2 and the average compared to a reference voltage
with amplifier A3. The output of A3 provides bias current to
the diodes of A 1 to attenuate the input signal. Because the
output power of A1 is held constant, the RMS value is constant and the attenuation is directly proportional to the RMS
value of the input voltage. The attenuation is also proportional to the diode bias current. Amplifier A4 adjusts the ratio
of currents through the diodes to be equal and therefore the
voltage at the output of A4 is proportional to the RMS value
of the input voltage. The calibration potentiometer is set
such that Vo reads directly in RMS volts.

General Description
The LMC660 CMOS Quad operational amplifier is ideal for
operation from a single supply. It is fully specified for operation from + 5V to + 15V and features rail-to-rail output
swing in addition to an input common-mode range that includes ground. Performance limitations that have plagued
CMOS amplifiers in the past are not a problem with this
design. Input Vas, drift, and broadband noise as well as
voltage gain into realistic loads (2 kn and 600n) are all
equal to or better than widely accepted bipolar equivalents.
This chip is built with National's advanced Double-Poly Silicon-Gate CMOS process.

Applications Hint
is generally less than 10 pF. If the frequency of the feedback pole is much higher than the "ideal" closed-loop bandwidth (the nominal closed-loop bandwidth in the absence of
CS), the pole will have a negligible effect on stability, as it
will add only a small amount of phase shift.

Amplifier Topolgy
The topology chosen for the LMC660 is unconventional
(compared to general-purpose op amps) in that the traditional unity-gain buffer output stage is not used; instead, the
output is taken directly from the output of the integrator, to
allow rail-to-rail output swing. Since the buffer traditionally
delivers the power to the load, while maintaining high op
amp gain and stability, and must withstand shorts to either
rail, these tasks now fall to the integrator.

However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately 6
to 10 times the "ideal" -3 dB frequency, a feedback capaCitor, CF, should be connected between the output and
the inverting input of the op amp. This condition can also be
stated in terms of the amplifier's low-frequency noise gain:
To maintain stability a feedback capacitor will probably be
needed if

As a result of these demands, the integrator is a compound
affair with an embedded gain stage that is doubly fed forward (via Cj and Cft) by a dedicated unity-gain compensation driver. In addition, the output portion of the integrator is
a push-pull configuration for delivering heavy loads. While
sinking current the whole amplifier path consists of three
gain stages with one stage fed forward, whereas while
sourcing the path contains four gain stages with two fed
forward.

formula

regardless of whether the amplifier is

being used in inverting or non-inverting mode. Note that a
feedback capacitor is more likely to be needed when the
noise gain is low and/or the feedback resistor is large.
If the above condition is met (indicating a feedback capacitor will probably be needed), and the noise gain is large
enough that:

the following value of feedback capacitor is recommended:

CF=

The large signal voltage gain while sourcing is comparable
to traditional bipolar op amps, even with a 600n load. The
gain while sinking is higher than most CMOS op amps, due
to the additional gain stage; however, under heavy load
(6000) the gain will be reduced as indicated in the Electrical
Characteristics.
Compensating Input Capacitance
The high input resistance of the LMC660 op amps allows
the use of large feedback and source resistor values without
losing gain accuracy due to loading. However, the circuit will
be especially sensitive to its layout when these large-value
resistors are used.

Note that these capacitor values are usually significant

formula:

Every amplifier has some capacitance between each input
and AC ground, and also some differential capacitance between the inputs. When the feedback network around an
amplifier is resistive, this input capacitance (along with any
additional capacitance due to circuit board traces, the socket, etc.) and the feedback resistors create a pole in the
feedback path. In the following General Operational Amplifier circuit, the frequency of this pole is
1
fp=--21TCs Rp
where Cs is the total capacitance at the inverting input, including amplifier input capcitance and any stray capacitance
from the IC socket (if one is used), circuit board traces, etc.,
and Rp is the parallel combination of RF and RIN. This formula, as well as all formulae derived below, apply to inverting and non-inverting op-amp configurations.
When the feedback resistors are smaller than a few kn, the
frequency of the feedback pole will be quite high, since Cs

Cs consists of the amplifier's input capaCitance plus any stray capaCitance
from the circuit board and socket. CF compensates for the pole caused by
Cs and the feedback resistors.

Applications Hint (Continued)

Typical Single-Supply
Applications (V+ = 5.0 VDC)

Using the smaller capacitors will give much higher bandwidth with little degradation of transient response. It may be
necessary in any of the above cases to use a somewhat
larger feedback capacitor to allow for unexpected stray capacitance, or to tolerate additional phase shifts in the loop,
or excessive capacitive load, or to decrease the noise or
bandwidth, or simply because the particular circuit implementation needs more feedback capacitance to be sufficiently stable. For example, a printed circuit board's stray
capacitance may be larger or smaller than the breadboard's, so the actual optimum value for CF may be different
from the one estimated using the breadboard. In most cases, the values of CF should be checked on the actual circuit,
starting with the computed value.

Additional single-supply applications ideas can be found in
the LM324 datasheet. The LMC660 is pin-for-pin compatible
with the LM324 and offers greater bandwidth and input resistance over the LM324. These features will improve the
performance of many existing single-supply applications.
Note, however, that the supply voltage range of the
LMC660 is smaller than that of the LM324.
Low-Leakage Sample-and-Hold

Output

Input Overdrive
Input overdrive protection has been built into the LMC660,
so that no latching, "output phase changes", or activation
of parasitic junctions occurs when the inputs are taken outside the power supply rails. In addition, this protection inhibits ESD damage whether or not the device is powered up,
and even if the power supply pins are floating. The protection consists of 200n series input resistors and diodes connected from each input to each power supply rail.
If the input to the LMC660 is set above the LMC660's input
common-mode range, the LMC660's output will go to the
positive supply rail. This output will stay at the positive supply rail until the input voltage is dropped back into the input
common-mode range.

Like many other op amps, the LMC660 may oscillate when
its applied load appears capacitive. The threshold of oscillation varies both with load and circuit gain. The configuration
most sensitive to oscillation is a unity-gain follower. See
Typical Performance Characteristics.

r~

The load capacitance interacts with the op amp's output
resistance to create an additional pole. If this pole frequency is sufficiently low, it will degrade the op amp's phase
margin so that the amplifier is no longer stable at low gains.
The addition of a small resistor (50n to 100n) in series with
the op amp's output, and a capacitor (5.pF to 10 pF) from
inverting input to output pins, returns the phase margin to a
safe value without interfering with lower-frequency circuit
operation. Thus larger vaJues of capacitance can be tolerated without oscillation. Note that in all cases, the output will
ring heavily when the load capacitance is near the threshold
for oscillation.

LMC662AM/LMC662AI/LMC662C
CMOS Dual Operational Amplifier
General Description
The LMC662 CMOS Dual operational amplifier is ideal for
operation from a single supply. It is fully specified for operation from + 5V to + 15V and features rail-to-rail output
swing in addition to an input common-mode range that includes ground. Performance limitations that have plagued
CMOS amplifiers in the past are not a problem with this
design. Input Vas, drift, and broadband noise as well as
voltage gain into realistic loads (2 kn and 6000.) are all
equal to or better than widely accepted bipolar equivalents.
This chip is built with National's advanced Double-Poly Silicon-Gate CMOS process.
See the LMC660 datasheet for a Quad CMOS operational
amplifier with these same features.

Application Hints
tance from the IC socket (if one is used), circuit board
traces, etc., and Rp is the parallel combination of RF and
RIN. This formula, as well as all formulae derived below,
apply to inverting and non-inverting op-amp configurations.

AMPLIFIER TOPOLOGY

The topology chosen for the LMC662 is unconventional
(compared to general-purpose op amps) in that the traditional unity-gain buffer output stage is not used; instead, the
output is taken directly from the output of the integrator, to
allow rail-to-rail output swing. Since the buffer traditionally
delivers the power to the load, while maintaining high op
amp gain and stability, and must withstand shorts to either
rail, these tasks now fall to the integrator.

When the feedback resistors are smaller than a few kn, the
frequency of the feedback pole will be quite high, since Cs
is generally less than 10 pF. If the frequency of the feedback pole is much higher than the "ideal" closed-loop bandwidth (the nominal closed-loop bandwidth in the absence of
Cs), the pole will have a negligible effect on stability, as it
will add only a small amount of phase shift.

As a result of these demands, the integrator is a compound
affair with an embedded gain stage that is doubly fed forward (via Cj and CIf) by a dedicated unity-gain compensation driver. In addition, the output portion of the integrator is
a push-pull configuration for delivering heavy loads. While
sinking current the whole amplifier path consists of three
gain stages with one stage fed forward, whereas while
sourcing the path contains four gain stages with two fed
forward.

However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately 6
to 10 times the "ideal" -3 dB frequency, a feedback capacitor, CF, should be connected between the output and
the inverting input of the op amp. This condition can also be
stated in terms of the amplifier's low-frequency noise gain:
To maintain stability, a feedback capacitor will probably be
needed if

regardless of whether the amplifier is being used in an inverting or non-inverting mode. Note that a feedback capacitor is more likely to be needed when the noise gain is low
and/ or the feedback resistor is large.

TLlH/9763-4

The large Signal voltage gain while sourcing is comparable
to traditional bipolar op amps, even with a 600n load. The
gain while sinking is higher than most CMOS op amps, due
to the additional gain stage; however, under heavy load
(600n) the gain will be reduced as indicated in the Electrical

If the above condition is met (indicating a feedback capacitor will probably be needed), and the noise gain is large
enough that:

the following value of feedback capacitor is recommended:

COMPENSATING INPUT CAPACITANCE

The high input resistance of the LMC662 op amps allows
the use of large feedback and source resistor values without
lOSing gain accuracy due to loading. However, the circuit will
be especially sensitive to its layout when these large-value
resistors are used.

2~GBW

Every amplifier has some capacitance between each input
and AC ground, and also some differential capacitance between the inputs. When the feedback network around an
amplifier is resistive, this input capacitance (along with any
additional capacitance due to circuit board traces, the socket, etc.) and the feedback resistors create a pole in the
feedback path. In the following General Operational Amplifier Circuit, the frequency of this pole is

General Operational Amplifier Circuit

The load capacitance interacts with the op amp's output
resistance to create an additional pole. If this pole frequency is sufficiently low, it will degrade the op amp's phase
margin so that the amplifier is no longer stable at low gains.
The addition of a small resistor (50n to 100n) in series with
the op amp's output, and a capacitor (5 pF to 10 pF) from
inverting input to output pins, returns the phase margin to a
safe value without interfering with lower-frequency circuit
operation. Thus, larger values of capacitance can be tolerated without oscillation. Note that in all cases, the output will
ring heavily when the load capacitance is near the threshold
for oscillation.

Cr

Cs consists of the amplifier's input capacitance plus any stray capacitance
from the circu~ board and socket. CF compensates for the pole caused by
Cs and the feedback resistor.

Typical Single-Supply Applications
(v+ = 5.0 VDC)
Additional single-supply applications ideas can be found in
the LM35B datasheet. The LMC662 is pin-for-pin compatible
with the LM35B and offers greater bandwidth and input resistance over the LM35B. These features will improve the
performance of many existing single-supply applications.
Note, however, that the supply voltage range of the LM662
is smaller than that of the LM35B.

INPUT OVERDRIVE
Input overdrive protection has been built into the LMC662,
so that no latching, "output phase changes", or activation
of parasitic junctions occurs when the inputs are taken outside the power supply rails. In addition, this protection inhibits ESD damage whether or not the device is powered up,
and even if the power supply pins are floating. The protection consists of 200n series input resistors and diodes connected from each input to each power supply rail.

Low-Leakage Sample-and-Hold

OUTPUT

If the input to the LMC662 is set above the LMC662's input
common-mode range, the LMC662's output will go to the
positive supply rail. This output will stay at the positive supply rail until the input voltage is dropped back into the input
common-mode range.

CAPACITIVE LOAD TOLERANCE
Like many other op amps, the LMC662 may oscillate when
its applied load appears capacitive. The threshold of oscillation varies both with load and circuit gain. The configuration
most sensitive to oscillation is a unity-gain follower. See the
Typical Performance Characteristics.

Cx{tOpF)

Using the smaller capacitors will give much higher bandwidth with little degradation of transient response. It may be
necessary in any of the above cases to use a somewhat
larger feedback capacitor to allow for unexpected stray capaCitance, or to tolerate additional phase shifts in the loop,
or excessive capacitive load, or to decrease the noise or
bandwidth, or simply because the particular circuit implementation needs more feedback capacitance to be sufficiently stable. For example, a printed circuit board's stray
capacitance may be larger or smaller than the breadboard's, so the actual optimum value for CF may be different
from the one estimated using the breadboard. In most cases, the value of CF should be checked on the actual circuit,
starting with the computed value.

LMC669 Auto-Zero
General Description
The LMC669 uses sampled-data techniques to reduce the
input offset voltage (Vas) of an amplifier or system to approximately 5 )LV. A four-stage comparator samples the
summing node of an inverting-amplifier and generates a correction voltage that is applied to the amplifier's non-inverting input. The offset correction is independent of time, temperature, and supply voltage, and requires no initial or periodic user offset adjustments.
The user may also adjust clock frequency, sample rate, and
the correction voltage's step size and magnitude.
The Auto-Zero operates on supply voltages of ± BV to
± 20V with a quiescent current of 3 mA.

The use of the LMC669 does not limit the performance of
the amplifier it is used with. Full use of the gain-bandwidth
product, slew rate, and DC gain is retained.
The LMC669 can be used as a precision comparator with a
latched, open drain output, or as a low-offset inverting operational amplifier for low-speed applications.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. DC and AC electrical specifications do not apply when operating
the device beyond its specified operating conditions.
Note 2: All voltages are with respect to AGND.
Note 3: This input current will exist only when an input is driven to a voltage greater than (V+ + 0.2V) or less than -0.2V.lt is due to intemal diode clamps at the
inputs turning on. 11 the current is limited to 20 mA, the overdrive will not be harmful to the LMC669.
Note 4: The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (8JAl of the 16 pin J package is 80'C/W.
Note 5: If input currents are limited, input voltages may be driven beyond these limits and the device will still be functional. The comparator output will be correct as

long as the voltage on either the IN REF pin or the two input INl & IN2 pins is between - 200 mV and

+ 2V.

Note 7: Guaranteed and 100% tested.
Note 8: Guaranteed, but not 100% production tested. These limits are not used to calculate outgoing quality levels.
Note 9: The LMC669CD exhibits a warm-up drift of approximately 3 ,.V to 5 ,.V in the negative direction. There are two factors that work together to cause this.
Firstly, as the die becomes warm, a temperature gradient forms between pin 2 and pins 1 and 16. Secondly, a thermocouple is created between the metal of the
leadframe and the metal of the wire (usually copper) used to connect the IC to a circuit It takes about 6 minutes for the drift to stabilize. The Nand M packages do
not exhibit this drift because their leadframes are 90% copper.

internal digital circuitry to prevent noise
from corrupting the comparator inputs.
It should have its own ground
connection.
This is the latched output from the
internal comparator. It is an open drain
which can be left unconnected if not
needed. Its response time is equal to
the sample rate's period. The rise time,
from 10% to 90%, is nominally 500 ns
with a 10 kO pull-up resistor. The output
is typically capable of swinging from
+ 0.25 (at 1 mAl to + 25 volts.
Output reference; for proper integrator
operation this input should be
connected to a good system ground,
such as the ground to which INREF is
connected.
This is the lMC669's integrator output.
It can swing from -12 to + 12 volts in
0.2 volt steps with a ;;, 10 KO load and
no external integrating capacitor.
When a capacitor is used to decrease
the correction voltage's step size, it is
connected between CAP and OUTPUT.
It parallels an internal 10 pF capacitor.
External clock input/internal adjust.
The frequency of the internal clock
(nominally 100 kHz) may be reduced
with an external capacitor or an
external clock connected to the ClK
input. The logic thresholds for this input
are 4 volts for a logic high and 1 volt for
logic low. The internal clock can be
stopped by applying a logic high,
through a diode, to the ClK input.
When a logic low is applied to the
diode, the internal clock runs freely.

when RESET is pulled low during

Connect these pins together.
Connect to analog ground.

Description
These pins select one of five clock
divider ratios. The ratio, hence the
sample rate can be changed by
applying V+ or ground to T1 and T2.
The ratio chosen by these inputs is
valid after the comparator's output
changes state; i.e., a zero-crossing
between the offset and correction
voltage has taken place. These inputs
can also be changed at any time to
modify the lMC669's sample rate. Use

reduction in the clock's frequency for
each combination of T1 and T2.

Application Hints
1.0 INTRODUCTION
In its standard application shown in Figure 1, the lMC669
continuously samples the summing node of an inverting amplifier and generates a correction voltage for the amplifier's
non-inverting input, nulling the amplifier's input offset voltage (Vos) to 5 ltV. The offset correction is independent of
time, temperature, and supply voltage. The lMC669 eliminates the need for initial or periodic offset adjustments,
compensates for Vos drift due to temperature changes, allows the use of greater DC gain, and increases immunity to
changes in power supply voltages.
At the input of the lMC669 is a sampled-data differential
comparator with very low offset voltage. When the comparator samples the summing node voltage and determines
that it is not at ground, the lMC669's output generates a
small voltage step in the opposite direction of the error. The
size of the step and the sample rate are user-selectable.
The correction voltage continues to step up or down until
the summing node is within the Vas of the lMC669-typically 5 ltV. At this point the Auto Zero continues to monitor
the summing node and perform any needed corrections. An
internal divider generates five different sampling rates for
any given clock frequency.
The only external parts needed for Vos correction of most
amplifiers are two resistors and one capacitor. Since the
capacitor is in the feedback loop of an integrator, it should
be a low leakage type (polycarbonate, polypropylene, polystyrene, mylar, etc.). The tolerance of the resistors and capacitor is not critical (10% components are satisfactory).

FIGURE 1. Typical Application
1.1 CIRCUIT OPERATION
At the heart of the LMC669 is a four-stage precision sampled-data comparator, shown in Figure 2. The circuit operates by successively zeroing the offset of each stage, resulting in a very high gain amplifier with extremely low input
offset voltage.
After a comparator decision is made, the latch is enabled
and holds the comparator's output state. At the same time
this state appears at COMPOUT. The latch also generates a
± 1V signal that charges capacitor Cl to ± 1V. C1 's charge
is then transferred to the integrator's feedback capacitor C2.
Since C2 is five times larger than Cl, a 200 mV step will
appear at the integrator's output. Further reduction of the
step size is possible with an external capacitor connected in
parallel with C2 (between OUTPUT and CAP). The integrator output is then attenuated by a resistive divider network
before being applied to the external op amp's non-inverting
input, completing the offset correction loop.

The clock Signal drives the input of the divider (See Figure
2). Depending on the logic levels at inputs Tl, T2, and
RESET, the clock can be divided by five different ratios (1,
4, 16, 128, and 1024). The output of the divider triggers the
sequencer which controls the auto-zero function.

1.2 CLOCKS
In order to control the events that take place in the LMC669,
an internal Schmitt trigger oscillator generates a 100 kHz
clock. This oscillator's frequency can be lowered by connecting a capacitor between the ClK input and ground as in
Figure 3c. It can also be overridden by applying an external
clock source (S: 100 kHz) to the CLK input (Figure 3a). Further, the clock can be halted with a diode connected as
shown in Figure 3(b).

1.3 INPUT RANGE
The IN1, IN2, and INREF inputs can accept signal levels
between 0 and + 2 V. However, as long as both IN1 and
IN2, or IN REF, is kept between 0 and 2V the other input (or
inputs) can be taken to V+ and, if input current limiting
(S:20 mAl is provided, to V-. In most auto-zero applications
INI and IN2 will be able to go to these extended limits since
INREF will normally be grounded.

When the LMC669 is powered-up or reset the internal divider automaticaliy divides by one. This allows the Auto-Zero to
operate at maximum sampling rate so that large initial offsets can be rapidly corrected. When the comparator toggles
for the first time, this indicates that input null has been
achieved and that maximum sample rate is no longer required. The latch then switches the divider from + 1 to the
ratio programmed via Tl and T2. By employing this "two
speed" approach the device. can move quickly to handle
turn-on transients and then shift to the optimum "gear" for
long term offset correction. It is also possible to return to the
maximum sample rate via the RESET input so that nonpower-up transients can be dealt with as well.

Now choose C, the integrator's external feedback capacitor,
to set the final step size to 1 ,..V. Using equation (2a):

2.0 APPLICATION CIRCUITS
The most general application of the Auto-Zero is offset correction of an inverting op amp as shown in Figure 1. The
example below shows how the integration capacitor and the
resistor divider are chosen.

Determine the maximum expected offset voltage from the
op amp characteristics and the requirements of the overall
system. The correction voltage swing capability should be
greater than or equal to this value. Also select the minimum
system resolution and the time that can be allowed to null
the initial offset. These will determine the correction voltage
step size. The magnitude of the correction voltage (Vcarr)
and the step size (dv) are defined according to equations 1
and 2:
Correction voltage = Veorr = Voul R R2R
1+ 2

C "" 2500pF
The null time for this example, with an amplifier offset of 15
mV, step size of 1 ,..V, and initial sample rate of 100 kHz, is
Null time =

(dv)(sample rate)
= 150 msec

If this is too slow, the step size can be increased.

OP AMP INPUT BIAS CURRENT

Input bias current should be considered when selecting an
op amp that is nulled by the LMC669. If this current is too
high, the result is a significant voltage drop across the feedback components and consequent output offset. The Auto
Zero will not correct this error since it does not appear as a
voltage at the summing node. Therefore, use low resistance
feedback networks, or op amps with low input bias current
such as the LF156, LF400, and LF411.

Through careful selection of the sample rate and step size a
compromise can be made between noise and null time. Low
sample rates achieve low noise but take a long time to null
an offset or correct it when a sudden change occurs. High
sample rates can quickly null or correct changes in Vas but
do so with an increase in noise. Step size directly affects the
null time and the amount of noise introduced: small step
sizes « 100 nV) contribute almost no noise, but result in
long null times.

with CI = 2 pF, C2 = 10 pF, RI and R2 from Eq. 1a.
CI and C2 are internal.
A further consideration regarding the selection of step size
is resolution: the magnitude of the smallest significant signal. In the case of nulling the Vas of an op amp used with a
digital-to-analog converter (DAC) the smallest signal is the
voltage produced by the least-significant bit (LSB). Therefore, the correction voltage's step size 'would need to be
much smaller than the magnitude of the DAC's LSB in order
to retain the DAC's desired resolution.

Low noise LMC669 applications are beneficial to instrumentation and audio electronics. An LM833 low noise operational amplifier (4.5 nV IYHz) with the LMC669 is shown in
Figure 4. In this circuit the Auto Zero adds only 1 nV I YHz
referred to the amplifier's input. To achieve this the step
size is set to 100 nV. The sample rate, with the internal
clock free-running, is set to 98 Hz (clock frequency +
1024), and input and output filters are added to the
LMC669. The input filter prevents switching transients from
reaching the amplifier input and the output filter attenuates
AC components of the steps at the Auto Zero's output. The
filter at the op amp's input also introduces a pole at
1

Finally, for proper operation, the sampling period should be
longer than the amplifier's settling time. 10
or more
should be adequate for most contemporary amplifiers.

,..S

DESIGN EXAMPLE

As an example, assume that the offset of the op amp in
Figure 1 is expected to be no more than 15 mV and the
system can tolerate a 1 ,..V square wave at a rate equal to
the internal clock. Begin by using RI and R2 to set the maximum correction voltage to 15 mY. The LMC669's output
can swing to ±12 volts with a 10 KO load and a ±15 volt
power supply. RI and R2 should be chosen to reduce this to
15 mY:
R2 =

(3)

and a zero at
1

Fz

= 21TRtCt

The maximum Vas that can be corrected by the circuit in
Figure 4 is 12 mY. More offset correction can be obtained
while retaining good noise performance by increasing the
size of R2 and C the same percentage. Increasing C compensates for the reduced attenuation caused by increasing
R2. This allows the step size to remain the same but increases the amount of correction voltage applied to the op
amp.

op amp is sampled and compared with a reference ground.
The correction output from the Auto Zero now replaces the
ground reference for the feedback resistor connected to the
inverting input.

POWER AMPLIFIERS
For applications such as motor control, automated servo
systems, and power amplification the LMC669 can also be
used with amplifiers other than standard small signal op
amps. Figure 5 shows how the Auto Zero can allow an
LM1875 audio power amplifier to operate with very low offset. While the sample rate for this configuration is not critical, the LMC669's output step size should be set for less
than 1 p.V to ensure low system noise.

Systems can also benefit from the Auto Zero. Figure 7
shows how the Vos of an MF6 Butterworth low-pass
switched capacitor filter is nulled by the LMC669. The Auto
Zero's INl and IN2 inputs are connected to the MF6's out·put while INREF is connected to its input. The correction
signal is applied to the MF6's Vos ADJ input. RC low-pass
filters (Rf1, '11 and Rf2, '121 are used to reduce AC signals
at the LMC669's inputs and provide current limiting. It is
important to set each passive RC filter's cutoff as low as
possible, at most 0.1 of the MF6's fa.

NON-INVERTING AMPLIFIERS AND SYSTEMS
A variation of the above circuit appears in Figure 6 with the
LMC669 operating as a DC-servo integrating feedback loop.
This configuration is applicable when the Auto Zero is used
with non-inverting op amps amplifying AC-only signals. The
output error of the amplifier is reduced to the Vos of the Auto
Zero, typically 5 p.V. A filter at the input of the LMC669 limits
current and ensures that only DC and very low frequencies

This correction makes the MF6 useful in applications calling
for good DC accuracy.· The MF6's typical 250 mV offset is
decreased to 5 p.V with a step size of 1 p.V.

The LMC669 is particularly useful for zeroing the offset of
an op amp used with a CMOS digital·to-analog converter
(DAC). For good linearity the DAC's two outputs (ioul and
lout> must be connected to identical ground potentials. The
presence of op amp Vas (and its drift due to temperature)
will degrade the DAC's linearity. Even though the effects of
Vas can be corrected by trimming, a static trim will not be
very helpful if the Vos changes with respect to temperature.

Figure 8 shows the DAC1208 with a 10V reference driving
an LF357. The linearity of this DAC will degrade by 0.01 %
for each millivolt of op amp Vas. Therefore, the LF357's
typical offset of 5 mV will turn the 12-bit DAC1208's 0.012%
linearity error into 0.062%. What was a 12 bit linear device
now has only 9 bits linearity. The original linearity specification can be retained by connecting an LMC669 to the inputs
of the LF357, rendering the non-linearity due to Vos and
temperature drift negligible. The DAC is now able to operate
at its published linearity specifications independent of Vas
and temperature.

Stable operation of the LM1875 is ensured by the RC combination connected to the inverting input.
LMC669 AS A COMPARATOR
The LMC669's operation as a comparator is shown in Figure 10. Its input impedance is 5 kO with 160 pF to ground.
For proper operation as a comparator INI and IN2, or INREF, should be kept between 0 and 2V while the other input

addition, please refer to notes 3 and 5 under "Electrical

Figure 9 shows the schematic of a unipolar power DAC.
One use of the power DAC is as a digitally controlled power
supply having the ability to sink current, in the case of inductive loads, as well as source current. The linearity of the
DAC is preserved by the nulling action of the LMC669 connected to the inputs of the LM1875 power amplifier. The

(particularly at elevated temperatures) and cause eventual destruction. Destructive dissipation can result from simultaneous shorts on all amplifiers.

Note 3: For operation at elevated temperatures, these devices must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 8io and TI max. Ti = TA + 8jaPo.
Note 4: The LP124 may be operated from - 55°C ,;: TA ,;: + 125"C. The LP2902 may be operated from - 40"C ,;: TA ,;: + B5°C, and the LP324 may be operated
from O"C ,;: TA ,;: +70"C.
Note 5: Boldface numbers apply at temperature e"tremea. All other numbers apply only at TA = Ti = 25°C, V+ = 5V, Vern = V/2, and RL =100k
connected to GND unless otherwise specified.
Note 6: Guarenteed and 100% production tested.
Note 7: Guaranteed (but not 100% production tested) over the operating supply voltage range (3.0V to 32V for the LP124, LP324, and 3.0V to 26V for the LP2902),
and the common mode range (OV \0 V+ -1.5V), unless otherwise specified. These limits are not used to calculate outgOing quality levels.
Note 8: The LP2902 operating supply range is 3V to 26V, and is not tested above 26V.

Application Hints
The LP124 series is a micro-power pin-for-pin equivalent to
the LM124 op amps. Power supply current, input bias current. and input offset current have all been reduced by a
factor of 10 over the LM124. Like its predecessor, the
LP124 series op amps can operate on single supply, have
true-differential inputs, and remain in the linear mode with
an input common-mode voltage of 0 VOC.

test socket as an unlimited current surge through the resulting forward diode within the IC could destroy the unit.
Large differential input voltages can be easily accommodated and, as input differential voltage protection diodes are
not needed, no large input currents result from large differential input voltages. The differential input voltage may be
larger than V+ without damaging the device. Protection
should be provided to prevent the input voltages from going
negative more than -0.3 VDC (at 25'C). An input clamp
diode with a resistor to the IC input terminal can be used.

The pinouts of the package have been designed to simplify
PC board layouts. Inverting inputs are adjacent to outputs
for all of the amplifiers and the outputs have also been
placed at the corners of the package (pins 1, 7, 8, and 14).

The amplifiers have a class B output stage which allows the
amplifiers to both source and sink output currents. In applications where crossover distortion is undesirable, a resistor

Precautions should be taken to insure that the power supply
for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity
or the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards in the

should be used from the output of the amplifier to ground.
The resistor biases the output into class A operation.

the amplifier to the corresponding high or low state. Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on both inputs will
force the amplifier output to a high state. Exceeding the
positive common-mode limit on a single input will not
change the phase of the output. However, if both inputs
exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier will be forced to
a low state. In neither case does a latch occur since returning the input within the common mode range puts the input
stage and thus the amplifier in a normal operating mode.

The LP124 has improved stability margin for driving capacitive loads. No special precautions are needed to drive loads
in the 50 pF to 1000 pF range. It should be noted however
that since the power supply current has been reduced by a
factor of 10, so also has the slew rate and gain bandwidth
product: This reduction can cause reduced performance in
AC applications where the LM124 is being replaced by an
LP124. Such situations usually occur when the LM 124 has
been operated near its power bandwidth.
Output short circuits either to ground or to the positive power supply should be of short time duration. Units can be
destroyed, not as a result of the short circuit current causing
metal fusing, but rather due to the large increase in IC chip
dissipation which will cause eventual failure due to excessive junction temperatures. For example: If all four amplifiers were simultaneously shorted to ground on a 10V supply
the junction temperature would rise by 110'C.
Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input
will cause a reversal of phase to the output and force

The circuits presented in the section on typical applications
emphasize operation on only a single power supply voltage.
If complementary power supplies are available, all of the
standard op amp circuits can be used. In general, introducing a pseudo-ground (a bias voltage reference to V + 12) will
allow operation above and below this value in single power
supply systems. Many application circuits are shown which
take advantage of the wide input common-mode voltage
range which includes ground. In most cases, input biasing is
not required and input voltages which range to ground can
easily be accommodated.

II Active filter

The LPC660 CMOS Quad operational amplifier is ideal for
operation from a single supply. It is fully specified for operation from + 5V to + 15V and features rail-to-rail output
swing in addition to an input common-mode range that includes ground. Performance limitations that have plagued
CMOS amplifiers in the past are not a problem with this
design. Input Vas, drift, and broadband noise as well as
voltage gain (into 100 k!l and 5 kn) are all equal to or better
than widely accepted bipolar equivalents, while the power
supply requirement is less than 1 mW.

these numbers are degraded in order to reduce the test time (and the cost of the part) taken in measuring these parameters.

General Description
~
CD
CD

oa.

.....

The LPC662 CMOS Dual operational amplifier is ideal for
operation from a single supply. It is fully specified for operation from + 5V to + 15V and features rail-to-rail output
swing in addition to an input common-mode range that includes ground. Performance limitations that have plagued
CMOS amplifiers in the past are not a problem with this
design. Input Vos, drift, and broadband noise as well as
voltage gain (into 100 kO and 5 kO) are all equal to or better
than widely accepted bipolar equivalents, while the power
supply requirement is less than 0.5 mW.
This chip is built with National's advanced Double-Poly Silicon-Gate CMOS process.
See the LPC660 datasheet for a Quad CMOS operational
amplifier with these same features.

Nole 1: Applies 10 both single supply and split supply operation. Continuous short circuit operation at elevated ambienttemperature andlor multiple Op Amp shorts
can result in exceeding the maximum allowed junction temperature of 150°C.
Note 2: The junction·to·ambient thermal resistance of the molded plastiC DIP (N) is 101'C/W, the molded plastiC SO (M) package is lS2'C/W, and the cavity DIP
(D) package is 124'C/W. All numbers apply for packages soldered directly into a PC board.
Note 3: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed.
Note 4: These limits are guaranteed and are used in calculating outgoing ACL.

Nole 5: V+ ~ 15V, VCM ~ 7.5V and RL connected to 7.5V. For Sourcing tests, 7.SV ,: Va ,: II.SV. For Sinking tests, 2.SV ,: Va ,: 7.SV.
Note 6: V+ = 15V. Connected as Voltage Follower with 10V step input. Number specified is the slower of the positive and negative slew rates.

Note 7: Inpul referred. V+ ~ 15V and RL ~ 100 kO connected to V+ 12. Each amp excited in turn with 1 kHz to produce Va ~ 13 Vpp.
Note 8: The LPC662A1 and the LPC6621 input bias current and input offset current specifications over the temperature range are guaranteed through correlation

techniques; these numbers reflect the true performance of the part. All other input bias and offset current specHications (other than the typical) are measured;
these numbers are degraded in order to reduce the test time (and the cost of the part) taken in measuring these parameters.

OP-07 Low Offset, Low Drift Operational Amplifier
General Description

Features

The OP-07 has very low input offset voltage (25 /LV max. for
OP-07A) which is obtained by trimming at the wafer stage.
These low offset voltages generally eliminate any need for
external nUlling. The OP-07 also features low input bias current (±2 nA for OP-07A)· and high open-loop gain
(300 V ImV for OP-07A). The low offsets and high open-loop
gain make the OP-07 particularly useful for high-gain applications.
The wide input voltage range of ± 13V minimum combined
with high CMRR of 110 dB and high input impedance provide high accuracy in the non-inverting circuit configuration.
Excellent linearity and gain accuracy can be maintained
even at high closed-loop gains.

iii

Stability of offsets and gain with time or variation in temperature is excellent.

Note 1: OP-07A grade Vas is measured approximately one minute after application of power. For all other grades Vas is measured approximately 0.5 second after
application of power.
Note 2: Long-Term Offset Voltage Stability refers to the averaged trend line of Vas vs time over extended periods after the first 30 days of operation. Excluding the
initial hour of operation, changes in Vas during the first 30 operating days are typically 2.5 J,tV. Parameter is sample tested.
Note 3: Sample tested.
Note 4: Guaranteed by design.
Note 5: The typical OJA of the HOB (TO-99) package is 155'C/W. the JOB (CERDIP) package is 92' C/W and the NOB (Molded DIP) is 100' C/W. The typical 0JC of
the HOB package is 17.5 C/W. All numbers apply for packages soldered directly into an etched circuit board.
0

Note 6: For supply voltages of less than ±22V, the maximum input voltage is O.SY beyond either supply.

TL081 CP Wide Bandwidth J FET
Input Operational Amplifier
General Description
The TL081 is a low cost high speed JFET input operational
amplifier with an internally trimmed input offset voltage
(BI-FET IITM technology). The device requires a low supply
current and yet maintains a large gain bandwidth product
and a fast slew rate. In addition, well matched high voltage
JFET input devices provide very low input bias and offset
currents. The TL081 is pin compatible with the standard
LM741 and uses the same offset voltage adjustment circuitry. This feature allows designers to immediately upgrade the
overall performance of existing LM741 designs.
The TL081 may be used in applications such as high speed
integrators, fast DI A converters, sample-and-hold circuits
and many other circuits requiring low input offset voltage,
low input bias current, high input impedance, high slew rate
and wide bandwidth. The devices has low noise and offset
voltage drift, but for applications where these requirements

are critical, the LF356 is recommended. If maximum supply
current is important, however, the TL081 C is the better
choice.

Note 1: For operating at elevated temperature, the device must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 120°C/W junction to ambient for N package.
Note 2: Unless otherwise specified the absolute maximum negative input voltage is equal to the negative power supply voltage.
Note 3: These specifications apply for Vs ~ ± 15V and O°C ,;TA ,;

+ 70°C. Vos,

16 and los are measured at VCM ~ O.

Note 4: The input bias currents are junction leakage currents which approximately double for every 10°C increase in the junction temperature, Tj_ Due to the limited
production test time, the input bias currents measured are correlated to junction temperature. In normal operation the junction temperature rises above the ambient
temperature as a result of internal power dissipation, Po. Tj = T A + 9jA Po where 9jA is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient. Use of a heat sink is
recommended if input bias current is to be kept to a minimum.

Note 5: Supply voltage rejection ratio is measured for both supply magnitudes increasing or decreasing simultaneously in accordance with common practice from
Vs ~ ±5Vto ±15V.
Note 6: Max. Power Dissipation is defined by the package characteristics. Operating the part near the Max. Power Dissipation may cause the part to operate
outside guaranteed limits.

Note 1: For operating at elevated temperature, the device must be derated based on a thermal resistance of IIS'C/W iunction to ambient for the N package.
Note 2: Unless otherwise specified the absolute maximum negative input voltage is equal to the negative power supply voltage.
Note 3: The power dissipation IimH, however, cannot be exceeded.
Note 4: These spacHications apply for Vs = ± ISV and O"C "TA " + 70"C. Vos. 18 and los are measured at VCM = O.
Note 5: The input bias currents are junction leakage currents which approximately double for every 1O"C increase in the junction temperature, Tj. Due to the limited
production testtima, the input bias currents measured are correlated to junction temperature. In normal operation the junction temperature rises above the ambient
temperature as a result of internal power diSSipation, Po. TJ = TA + 8JA Po where 8JA is the thermal resistance from junction to ambienl Use of a heat sink is
recommended if input bias current is to be kept to a minimum.
Note 6: Supply voltage rejection ratio is measured for both supply magnHudes increasing or decreasing simultaneously in accordance with common practice.
Vs = ±6Vto ±ISV.

Application Hints
These devices are op amps with an internally trimmed input
offset voltage and JFET input devices (BI-FET II). These
JFETs have large reverse breakdown voltages from gate to
source and drain eliminating the need for clamps across the
inputs. Therefore, large differential input voltages can easily
be accommodated without a large increase in input current.
The maximum differential input voltage is independent of
the supply voltages. However, neither of the input voltages

should be allowed to exceed the negative supply as this will
cause large currents to flow which can result in a destroyed
unit.
Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input
will cause a reversal of the phase to the output and force
the amplifier output to the corresponding high or low state.
Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on both inputs
will force the amplifier output to a high state. In neither case

CD

Application Hints (Continued)
does a latch occur since raising the input back within the
common-mode range again puts the input stage and thus
the amplifier in a normal operating mode.

in a socket as an unlimited current surge through the resulting forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of the
internal conductors and result in a destroyed unit.

Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a single input
will not change the phase of the output; however, if both
inputs exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier will be
forced to a high state.

Because these amplifiers are JFET rather than MOSFET
input op amps they do not require special handling.
As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in order to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to an input should be placed with the body close to the
input to minimize "pick-up" and maximize the frequency of
the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from the
input to ground.
A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to AC ground set the frequency of the pole. In many
instances the frequency of this pole is much greater than
the expected 3 dB frequency of the closed loop gain and
consequently there is negligible effect on stability margin.
However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately 6
times the expected 3 dB frequency a lead capacitor should
be placed from the output to the input of the op amp. The
value of the added capacitor should be such that the RC
time constant of this capacitor and the resistance it parallels
is greater than or equal to the original feedback pole time
constant.

The amplifiers will operate with a common-mode input voltage equal to the positive supply; however, the gain bandwidth and slew rate may be decreased in this condition.
When the negative common-mode voltage swings to within
3V of the negative supply, an increase in input offset voltage
may occur.
Each amplifier is individually biased by a zener reference
which allows normal circuit operation on ± 6V power supplies. Supply voltages less than these may result in lower
gain bandwidth and slew rate.
The amplifiers will drive a 2 k.o. load resistance to ± 1OV
over the full temperature range of O·C to + 70·C. If the amplifier is forced to drive heavier load curr~nts, however, an
increase in input offset voltage may occur on the negative
voltage swing and finally reach an active current limit on
both positive and negative swings.
Precautions should be taken to ensure that the power supply for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards

Note 1: LH0033 and LH0033A are 100% production tested as specified at 25° C, 125°C, and-55°C. LH0033AC/C are 100% production tested at 25°C only.
Specifications at temperature extremes are verified by sample testing, but these limited are not used to calculate outgoing quality level.
Note 2: Specification is at 25°C junction temperature due to requirements of high speed automatic testing. Actual values at operating temperature will exceed the
value at TJ = 25°C. When supply voltages are ± 15V, no-load operating junction temperature may rise 40-60"C above ambient, and more under load conditions.
Accordingly, Vas may change one to several mV, and 18 will change significantly during warm-up. Refer to 18 vs temperature graph for expected values.
Note 3: LH0033 and LH0033A are 100% production tested for this parameter. LH0033AC/C are sample tested only. Limits are not used to calculate outgoing
quality levels. I!:Nas/I:1T is the average value calculated from measurements at 25"C and TMAX.
Note 4: Measured in still air 7 minutes after application of power. Guaranteed through correlated automatic pulse testing.
Note 5: Guaranteed through correlated automatic pulse testing at T J = 25°C.
Note 6: Not 100% production tested; verified by sample testing only. Limits are not used to calculate outgoing quality level.
Note 7: Refer to RETS0033AG for the LH0033AG and RETS0033G for the LH0033G military specifications.

Note 1: LH0063 is 100% production tested as specified ilt 25·C, 125·C, and -55·C. LH0063C is 100% production tested at 25·C only. Specifications at
temperature extremes are verified by sample testing. but these limits are not used to calculate outgoing quality level.
Note 2: Specificati'on is at 25°C junction temperature due to requirements of high speed automatic testing. Actual values at 'operating temperature will exceed the

value at TJ = 25°C. When supply voltages are ± 15V, no-load operating junction temperature may rise 40-6CY'C above ambient, and more under load conditions.
Accordingly. Vas may change one to several mV, and 18 ans los wil! change significantly during warm-up. Refer to Is and los vs temperature graph for expected
values.

Note 3: Guaranteed through correlated automatic pulse testing at TJ~25·C.
Note 4: Not 100% production tested; verified by sample testing only. Limits are not used to calculate outgoing quality level.
Note 5: Refer to RETS0063K for the LH0063K military specifications.

RECOMMENDED LAYOUT PRECAUTIONS
RF !video printed circuit board layout rules should be followed when using the LH0033 and LH0063 since they will
provide power gain to frequencies over 100 MHz. Ground.
planes are recommended and power supplies should be decoupled at each device with low inductance capacitorS. In
addition, ground plane shielding may be extended to the
metal case of the device since it is electrically isolated from
internal Circuitry. Alternatively the case should be connected
to the output to minimize input capacitance.

OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
Both the LH0033's and LH0063's offset voltages have been
actively trimmed by laser to meet guaranteed specifications
when the offset preset pin is shorted to the offset adjust pin.
This pre-calibration allows the devices to be used in most
DC or AC applications without individually offset nulling
each device. If offset null is desirable, it is simply obtained
by leaving the offset preset pin open and connecting a trim
pot of 100n for the LH0033 or 1 kn for the LH0063 between the offset adjust pin and V-, as illustrated in Figures
1 and 2.

SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
In order to optimize transient response and output swing,
output current limit has been omitted from the LH0033 and
Li-10063. Short circuit protection may be added by inserting
appropriate value resistors between Y+ and Vc+ pins and
Y- and Yc- pins as illustrated in Figures 3 and 4. Resistor
values may be predicted by:

Both device types may be readily used in applications where
symmetrical supplies are unavailable or not desirable. A typical application might be an interface to a MOS shift register
where Y+ = +5Y and Y- = -12Y.ln this case, an apparent output offset occurs due to the device's voltage gain of
less than unity. This additional output offset error may be
predicted by:

Application Hints (Continued)
The inclusion of limiting resistors in the collectors of the
output tra,nsistors reduces output voltage swing. Decoupling
VC+' an.~ Vc- pins with capacitors to ground will retain full
output 'swing for transient pulses. Alternate active current
limit techniques that retain full DC output swing are shown, in
Figures 5 and 6. In Figures 5 and 6, the current sources 'are
saturated during normal operation, thus apply full, supply
voltage to the Vc pins. Under fault conditions, the voltage
decreases as required by the overload.

CAPACITIVE LOADING
Both the LH0033 and LHOOS3 are designed to drive capacitive loads such as coaxial cables in excess of several thousand picofarads without susceptibility to oscillation. However, peak current resulting from (CXdv/dt),should be limited
below absolute maximum peak current ratings for the devices.
Thus for the LH0033:

OPERATION WITHIN AN OP AMP LOOP
Both devices may be used as a current booster or isolation
buffer within a closed loop with op amps such as LH0032,
LHOOS2, or LM118. An isolation resistor of 47.0 should be
used between the op amp output and the input of LH0033.
The wide bandwidths and high slew rates of the LH0033
and LHOOS3 assure that the loop has the characteristics of
the op amp and that additional rolloff is not required.

0.01,.F

HARDWARE
In order to utilize the full drive capabilities of both devices,
each should be mounted with a heat sink particularly for
extended temperature operation. The cases of both are isolated from the circuit and may be connected to the system
chassis.

FIGURE 5. LH0033 Current Limiting

DESIGN PRECAUTION
Power supply bypassing is necessary to prevent oscillation
with both the LH0033 and LHOOS3 in all circuits. Low inductance ceramic disc capaCitors with the shortest practical
lead lengths must be connected from each supply lead
(within <% to %" of the device package) to a ground
plane. CapaCitors should be one or two 0.1 ,..F in parallel for
the LH0033; adding a 4.7 ,..F solid tantalum capaCitor will
help in troublesome instances. For the LH0063, two 0.1 ,..F
ceramic and one 4.7 ,..F solid tantalum capaCitors in parallel
will be necessary on each supply lead. , '

Note 1: The maximum junction temperature of the LH2110 is 150'C, while that olthe LH2210 is 100'C and that olthe LH2310 is 85'C. For operating devices in the
flat package at elevated temperatures, the derating is based on a thermal resistance of 185°C/W when mounted on ~ 1f1s-inch-thick epoxy glass board with
O.03-inch-wide, 2-ounce copper conductors. The thermal resistance of the dual-in-line package is 100 e/W, junction to ambient.

Note 2: For supply voltages less than ± 15V, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply voltage.
Note 3: Continuous short circuit is allowed for case temperatures to 125c C and ambient temperatures to 70"C . It is necessary to insert a resistor greater than 2 kn
in series with the input when the amplifier is driven from low impedance sources to prevent damage when the output is shorted.

Applications Information
Figure 1 shows a simple implementation of a non-inverting
buffer amplifier of unity gain. Popular industry standard operational amplifiers such as LF156, LF351, LF411, LF441 ,
LM11, LM741, etc. can be used in this configuration. Due to
the high bandwidth of the LH4001, it is suitable for use with
most monolithic op amps.

Figure 3 shows a co-axial cable drive circuit. The 43n resistor matches the driving source to the cable, however, its
inclusion rarely will result in substantial improvement in
pulse response into a terminated cable. If the 43n resistor
is included, the output voltage to the load is about half what
it would be without the near end termination.

Figure 2 shows an implementation of an inverting amplifier
with output current capability in excess of ± 100 mA. The
gain of this amplifier is determined by the values of RF and
RIN. The resistor between the non-inverting input and
ground is used to minimize the output offset voltage resulting from the input bias current.

Figure 4 shows a non-inverting amplifier with gain and output current capability in excess of ± 100 mAo It is capable of
providing ± 10 mA into a 1 kn load or ± 100 mA into a
1DOn load (± 1OV swing). Figures 5 and 6 show two different methods of providing current limit or short circuit protection for the LH4001. In Figure 6, the 10n resistor limits the
output current to approximately 70 mA. This circuit is highly
recommended if there is a potential for a short circuit to
occur.

Because of its high current drive capability, the LH4001
buffer amplifier is suitable for driving terminated or unterminated co-axial cables, and high current or reactive loads.

Applications Information

Short Circuit Protection

The high speed performance of the LH4002 can only be
realized by taking certain precautions in circuit layout and
power supply decoupling. Low inductance ceramic chip· or
disc power supply decoupling capacitors of 0.D1 p.F in parallel with 0.1 p.F should be connected with the shortest practical lead length between device supply leads and a ground
plane. Failure to follow these rules can result in oscillations.
When driving a capacitive load such as inputs to flash converters, the circuits in Figure 2 and 3 can be used to minimize the amount of overshoot and ringing at the outputs.
Figure 2 indicates that a 500. should be placed in parallel
with the load and Figure 3 recommends that a 1000. resistor
be placed in series with the input to the LH4002.

In order to optimize transient response and output swing,
output current limits have been omitted from the LH4002.
Short circuit protection may be added by inserting appropriate value resistors between +VCC1 and +VCC2 pins and
between -VCC1 and -VCC2 pins as illustrated in Figure 4.
Resistor values may be predicted by:
+VCC1

RUM = - - - - - = - - - - Isc

where Isc ,,; 100 mA. The inclusion of 500. limiting resistors
in the collectors of the output transistors limits the short
circuit current to approximately 100 mA without reducing the
output voltage swing.

Note 2: Tested limits are guaranteed and 100% tested in production.
Note 3: Design limits are guaranteed (but not 100% production tested) over indicated temperature and supply voltege ranges. These limits are not used to
calculate outgoing quality levels.
Note 4: Specification is at 2S·C junction temperature due to requirements of high speed automatic testing. Actual values at operating temperature will exceed value
at TJ ~ 25'C. See Typical Performance Characteristics for more information.
Note 5: Full power bandwidth is calculated based on slew rate measurement using FPBW ~ slew rate I (2 frY peak).
Note 6: Boldface limits are guaranteed over full temperature. Operating ambient temperature range of LH4003C is - 2S·C to + 8S·C. and LH4003 is - SS·C to

Application Information
The unity gain follower configuration shown in A"gure 1, offers a 250 MHz small Signal bandwidth to the -3dB pOint
and the minimum slew rate of BOO V I,...s insures a full power
bandwidth of 65 MHz for a 4V peak-to-peak Signal, according to the formula:

Although the LH4003 contains internal decoupling, it still
requires some external bypassing capacitors, which have to
be located as close to the supply pins as possible. A 4.7 ,...F
in parallel with a 100 nF low inductance capacitor will insure
good filtering. In some cases of noisy environment, or when
the power supply is located far from the circuit, it may be
necessary to use a dual stage decoupling as shown in Figure5.
Ground can also become a considerable problem. It is assumed to be uniformly zero volts and considered as a reference. In practice, if the ground is poorly laid out, every single point may be at a different potential and at a different
phase, which is a source of instability or Signal distortion.
The most reliable solution to this problem is to have a
ground plane that will minimize the parasitic inductance and
therefore, potential and phase differences.

B = SR/2'1TVp
Where SR is the slew rate in ,...S, B is the bandwidth of the
device in MHz for a peak sine wave voltage Vp.
The unity gain followerIbuffer is therefore an excellent
choice for wideband sinewave buffering or pulse amplification. Figure 2 shows the typical pulse response for such a
configuration.
DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS
Flash AID, unterminated cables, etc, can exhibit up to
300 pF of capacitance, thus creating stability or settling
problems. Figure :3 shows the compensation scheme for
driving such capacitive loads while still insuring optimum
settling. The output current limit of the LH4003 is a considerable help for driving capacitive loads, the charging current
is kept in control and the damping resistor can be small
without overloading the output stage. A 200. resistor in series with the capacitance is required for insuring an optimum
settling time of 0.5% in less than 20 ns which is suitable for
driving a 7 bit flash A to D converter in video applications at
a sampling rate of 20 MSPS (see Figure 4).

INPUT CAPACITANCE
The input capacitance of the LH4003 is typically 8 pF and
will slightly increase with frequency. A large source resistance value in front of this will form a pole, which may substantially reduce the bandwidth of the circuit and affect stability.
This is the reason why resistor values higher than 500 ohms
should not be utilized in the feedback network and high
source impedance should be avoided.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
The layout of a RFlVideo PC board where the signal frequency is beyond 100 MHz required special attention. All
the traces or connections must be as short and as wide as
possible in order to keep their parasitic inductance to a minimum. This is especially critical for the supply lines where the
current can reach over 100 mA in a few nanoseconds.

BIAS CURRENT
The input bias current is typically 100 ,...A and may create an
undesirable output offset voltage when the source impedance is high. An internal 500. resistor is provided for matching with a 500. source impedance in order to minimize the
output offset voltage. Figure 6 shows a circuit that uses a
FET transistor pair for the input stage in order to reduce the
input bias current to the sUb-nanoampere region.

LH4004!LH4004C Wideband FET-Input Buffer! Amplifier
General Description

Features

The LH4004 is an FET input, high speed differential amplifier optimized for unity gain applications. It eliminates most of
the drawbacks of conventional open loop buffers and does
not require compensation for unity and other low gain operations. It is an ideal choice for video distribution, driving
flash converters, and summing amplifiers. Furthermore, the
bandwidth does not decrease with increasing gain. At a
closed loop gain of 4, the LH4004 still offers a 75 MHz
bandwidth.

in parallel with this capacitance and so a frequency domain
pole results. With a small Rs, this pole is at a high frequency
and it affects the closed loop gain of the LH4004 only slightly. At lower values of gain, this pole becomes significant. For
example, at a gain of + 2, the gain may peak as much as
1.5 dB to 2 dB at 100 MHz.

Application Hints
The front page figure shows the simplified schematic which
includes the feedback resistor and the decoupling capacitors.
The essential difference from other op amps is that both
inputs are radically different, the non-inverting input goes to
a FET buffer follower and the inverting input is connected to
the second stage emitter node. This topology is responsible
for the unique bandwidth characteristic and transfer function
of the amplifier.

In both equations, the second term is negligible when the
open loop gain of the amplifier, K(s), approaches infinity, but
in equation (1), when the signal frequency reaches a point
where K(s) is small, say K(s) = 10 or less, then the term will
be very sensitive to the value of the closed loop gain Band

In equation (2), m is approximately 0.19 and RA is provided
inside the package, with a value which has been chosen to
be 240n. The term mRA is therefore equal to 46 and will
dominate the term B as long as it is kept below 5. The result
is that VOUTIV,N will not be as dependent on B as with
traditional topologies. The gain will still fall with the open
loop gain K(s) as the frequency increases, but the roll off will
be virtually independent of the closed loop gain B.

Resistor Rs sets the overall closed loop gain, but has very
little effect on stability and bandwidth. Another peculiarity of
the LH4004 is that the loop compensation can be accomplished by changing the value of resistor RA (Figure 2).
Even though this such as settling time, overshoot and phase
margin, it will not affect the slew rate. Although this resistive
compensation scheme is adequate in most cases, an alternate method is to place a capacitor between pins 3 and 19
(Figure 3). This method of compensation also reduces the
'
device slew rate (Figure 4).

Note 4: Specification is at 25°C junction temperature due to requirements of high speed automatic testing. Actual value may be higher at operating junction
temperature.

Note 5: Full power bandwidth is calculated based on slew rate measurement using FPBW ~ slew rate/(2 "V peak).
Note 6: Boldface limits are guaranteed over full temperature. Operating ambient temperature range of LH4006C is -

Note 7: When the LH4006 is operated at elevated temperature (such as 125"C), some form of heat sinking or forced air cooling is required. The quiescent power
with Vs of ± 6V is 780 mW, whereas the package is rated to 750 mW without a heatsink at 125°C.

Application Information
The unity gain follower configuration shown in Figure I, offers a 350 MHz small signal bandwidth to the -3 dB point
and the minimum slew rate of 1000 V/ /-'S insures a full power bandwidth of 80 MHz for a 4V peak to peak signal, according to the formula:

Where SR is the slew rate in V/ /-'S, B is the bandwidth of the
device in MHz for a peak sine wave voltage Vp.
The unity gain follower/buffer is therefore an excellent
choice for wideband sinewave buffering or pulse amplification. Figure 2 shows the typical pulse response for such a
configuration.

Driving Capacitive Loads

"0:1'

Flash AID, unterminated cables, etc, can exhibit up to 300
pF of capacitance, thus creating stability or settling problems. Figure 3 shows the compensation scheme for driving
such capacitive loads while still insuring optimum settling.
The output current limit of the LH4006 is a considerable
help for driving capacitive loads, the charging current is kept

in control and the damping resistor can be small without
overloading the output stage. A 200 resistor in series with
the capacitance is required for insuring an optimum settling
time to 0.5% in less than 20 ns which is suitable for driving a
7 bit flash A to D converter in video applications at a sampling rate of 20 MSPS (see Figure 4 ) .

Layout Considerations

Input Capacitance

The layout of a RFlVideo PC board where the signal frequency is beyond 100 MHz requires special attention. All
the traces or connections must be as short and as wide as
possible in order to keep their parasitic inductance to a minimum. This is especially critical for the supply lines where the
current can reach over 100 mA in a few nanoseconds.
Although the LH4006 contains internal decoupling, it still
requires some external bypassing capacitors, which' have to
be located as close to the supply pins as possible. A 4.7 ftF
in parallel with a 100 nF low inductance capacitor will insure
good filtering. In some cases of noisy environment, or when
the power supply is located far from the circuit, it may be
necessary to use a dual stage decoupling as shown in Figure 5.

The input capacitance of the LH4006 is typically 8 pF and
will slightly increase with frequency. A large source resistance value in front of this will form a pole, which may substantially reduce the bandwidth of the circuit and affect stability.
This is the reason why resistor values higher than 500.0.
should not be used in the feedback network and high
source impedance should be avoided.

Bias Current
The input bias current is typically 100 ftA and may create an
undesirable output offset voltage when the source impedance is high. An internal 50.0. resistor is provided for matching with a 50.0. source impedance in order to minimize the
output offset voltage. Figure 6 shows a circuit that uses a
FET transistor pair for the input stage in order to reduce the
input bias current to the sUb-nanoampere region.

FIGURE 5. Dual Stage Decoupling

Ground can also become a considerable problem. It is assumed to be uniformly zero volts and considered as a reference. In practice, if the ground is poorly laid out, every single point may be at a different potential and at a different
phase, which is a source of instability or signal distortion.

-Vs
TL/K/9255-9

FIGURE 6. FET Input Follower Buffer

The most reliable solution to this problem is to have a
ground plane that will minimize the parasitic inductance and
therefore, potential and phase differences.

LH4008/LH4008C Fast Buffer
General Description

Features

The LH4008 is a very high speed, FET input, voltage followerIbuffer designed to provide high current drive at frequencies from DC to over 180 MHz. The LH4008/LH4008C will
provide ± 200 mA into 50n loads (± 500 mA peak) at slew
rates of 10,000 VI ,...s. In addition, it exhibits excellent phase
linearity.

• Fast
• Wide range single or dual
supply operation
• Wide power bandwidth
• High output drive
• Low phase non-linearity
• Fast rise times
• High input resistance
• Pin compatible with LH0063

The LH40q8 is intended to fulfill a wide range of buffer applications. Due to its high speed it does not degrade the system performance. Its high O\ltput current makes it adequate
for most loads. Only a single + 10V supply is needed for a 5
Vpp video signal. In addition, the LH4008 can continuously
drive 50n coaxial cables.
These devices are constructed using specially selected
junction FET's and active laser trimming to achieve guaranteed performance specifications. The LH4008K is specified
for operation from - 55'C to + 125'C; whereas, the
LH4008CK and LH4008CT are specified from - 25'C to
+ 85'C. LH4008K and LH4008CK are available in an 8-pin
TO-3 package. The LH4008CT is available in an 11-pin TO220 package.

Application Hints
Recommended Layout Precautions: RF/video printed circuit board layout rules should be followed when using the
LH400B since it will provide power gain to frequencies over
180 MHz. Ground planes are recommended and power supplies should be decoupled at each device with low inductance capacitors. In addition, ground plane shielding may be
extended to the metal case of the device since it is electrically isolated from internal circuitry. Alternatively, the case
should be connected to the output to minimize input capacitance.

Capacitive Loading: The LH400B is designed to drive capacitive loads such as coaxial cables in excess of several
thousand picofarads without susceptibility to oscillation.
However, peak current resulting from (C x dV/dt), should
be limited below absolute maximum peak current ratings for
the devices.

( a~:N) x CL :s;

In addition, power dissipation resulting from driving capacitive loads plus standby power should be kept below package power rating:

Short Circuit Protection: Short circuit protection may be
added by inserting appropriate value reSistors between V+
and Vc+ pins and V- and VC- pins as illustrated in Figures
2 and 3. Resistor values may be predicted by:
V+
VRUM = - = Isc

The inclusion of limiting resistors in the collectors of the
output transistors reduces output voltage swing. Decoupling
Vc+ and VC- pins with capacitors to ground will retain full
output swing for transient pulses.

CL = Load Capacitance
Operation within an Op Amp Loop: The device may be
used as a current booster or isolation buffer within a closed
loop with op amps such as LH0032, LM6161, or LM118. An
isolation resistor of 470 should be used between the op
amp output and the input of LH4008. The wide bandwidth
and high slew rate of the LH400B assures that the loop has
the characteristics of the op amp and that additional rolloff
is not required.
Hardware: In order to utilize the full drive capabilities of
both devices, each should be mounted with a heat sink particularly for extended temperature operation. The cases of
both are isolated from the circuit and may be connected to
system chassis.

ATTENTION!
Power supply bypassing is necessary to prevent oscillation
in all circuits. Low inductance ceramic disc capacitance with
the shortest practical lead lengths must be connected from
each supply lead (within < % to %" of the device package)
to a ground plane. Capacitors should be two 0.1 ",F ceramic
and one 4.7 ",F solid tantalum capacitors in parallel on each
supply lead.

General Description

Features

The LH4009 is a very high speed, FET input, voltage followerIbuffer designed to provide high current drive at frequencies from DC to over 190 MHz. The LH4009/LH4009C will
provide ±200 rnA into 500 loads (±250 rnA peak) at slew
rates of 1OOOOV I ,..s. In addition, it exhibits excellent phase
linearity.
The LH4009 is intended to fulfill a wide range of buffer applications. Due to its high speed it does not degrade the system performance. Its high output current makes it adequate
for most loads. Only a single + 10V supply is needed for a
5 Vpp video signal. In addition, the LH4009 can continuously
drive 500 coaxial cables.

Application Hints
RECOMMENDED LAYOUT PRECAUTIONS: RF/video
printed circuit board layout rules should be followed when
using the LH4009 since it will provide power gain to frequencies over 200 MHz. Ground planes are recommended and
power supplies should be decoupled at each device with
low inductance capacitors. In addition, ground plane shielding may be extended to the metal case of the device since it
is electrically isolated from internal circuitry. Alternatively,
the case should be connected to the output to minimize
input capacitance.

OPERATION WITHIN AN OP AMP LOOP: The device may
be used as a current booster or isolation buffer within a
closed loop with op amps such as LH0032, LM6161, or
LM118. An isolation resistor of 470. should be used between the op amp output and the input of LH4009. The wide
bandwidth and high slew rate of the LH4009 assures that
the loop has the characteristics of the op amp and that
additional rolloff is not required.

SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION: The LH4009 features
built-in short circuit protection. It will protect the device
against output shorts to ground for up to 30 seconds. Beyond that the device may get degraded.

ATTENTION!

POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING is necessary to prevent oscillation in all circuits. Low inductance ceramic disc capacitance with the shortest practical lead lengths must be connected from each supply lead (within < % to '12' of the
device package) to a ground plane. Capacitors should be
two 0.1 fLF ceramic and one 4.7 fLF solid tantalum capacitors in parallel on each supply lead.

capacitive loads such as coaxial cables in excess of several

Application Hints
Recommended Layout Preca~tions: RF/video printed circuit board layout rules should be followed when using the
LH4010 and LH4010C since they will provide power gain to
frequencies over 100 MHz. Ground planes are recommended and power supplies should be decoupled at each device
with low inductance capacitors. In addition, ground plane
shielding may be extended to the metal case of the device
since it is electrically isolated from internal circuitry. Alternatively the case should be connected to the output to minimize input capacitance.

where:

Offset Voltage Adjustment: Both the LH4010 and
LH4010C offset voltages have been actively trimmed by laser to meet guaranteed specifications when the offset preset pin is shorted to the offset adjust pin. This pre-calibration allows the devices to be used in most DC or AC applications without individually offset nulling each device. If offset
null is desirable, it is simply obtained by leaving the offset
preset pin open and connecting a trim pot of 100n
between the offset adjust pin and V- as illustrated in Figure 1.

Short Circuit Protection: In order to optimize transient response and output swing, output current limit has been
omitted from the LH4010 and LH4010C. Short circuit protection may be added by inserting appropriate value resistors between V+ and Vc+ pins and V- and Vc- pins as
illustrated in Figure 2. Resistor values may be predicted by:
V+
-VRUM""-=-Isc
Isc
where:
ISC';; 100 mA

AV = No load voltage gain, typically 0.99
v+ = Positive supply voltage
V - = Negative supply voltage
For the above example, aVo would be -35 mY. This may
be adjusted to zero as discussed above. For AC coupled
applications, no additional offset occurs if the DC input is
properly biased as illustrated in the "typical applications"
section.

r-""""4I~-() + lSV

The inclusion of limiting resistors in the collectors of the
output transitors reduces output voltage swing. Decoupling
Vc + and Vc - pins with capaCitors to ground will retain full
output swing for transient pulses. An alternate active current
limit technique that retains full DC output swing is shown in
Figure 3.

Operation from Single or Asymmetrical Power Supplies:
Both device types may be readily used in application where
symmetrical supplies are unavailable or not desirable. A typical application might be an interface to a MOS shift register
whereV+ = +5VandV- = -12V.lnthiscase,anapparent output offset occurs due to the device's voltage gain of
less than unity. This additional output offset error may be
predicted by:

Operation Within an Op Amp Loop: Both devices may be
used as a current booster or isolation buffer within a closed
loop with op amps such as LH0032, LM6361, or LM118. An
isolation resistor of 47,{l should be used between the op
amp output and the input of LH4010. The wide bandwidths
and high slew rates of the LH4010 assure that loop has the
characteristics of the op amp and that additional roll off is
not required.
Hardware: In order to utilize the full drive capabilities of the
device, it should be mounted with a heat sink particularly for
extended temperature operation. The case is isolated from
the circuit and may be connected to system chassis.

FIGURE 3. LH4010 Current Limiting
Using Current Sources

ATTENTION!
Power supply bypassing is necessary to prevent oscillation
in all circuits. Low inductance ceramic disc capacitors with
the shortest practical lead lengths must be connected from
each supply lead (within < %" to %" of the device package) to a ground plane. Capacitors should be one or two
0.1 !£F in parallel; adding a 4.7 !£F solid tantalum capacitor
will help in troublesome instances.

Capacitive Loading: The LH4010 is designed to drive capacitive loads such as coaxial cables in excess of several
thousand picofarads without being susceptible to oscillation.
However, peak current resulting from (C x dVIdt) should
be limited below absolute maximum peak current ratings for
the devices.

General Description

Features

The LH4011 is a very high speed, FET input, voltage follower/buffer designed to provide high current drive ai frequencies from DC to over 150 MHz. The LH4011/LH4011C will
provide ±200 mA into 500. loads (±500 mA peak) at slew
rates of 5000 V/p.s. In addition,it exhibits excellent phase
linearity.
The LH4011 is intended to fulfill a wide range of buffer applications. Due to its high speed it does not degrade the system perlormance. Its high output current makes it adequate
for most loads. Only a single + 10V supply is needed for a
5 Vpp video signal. In addition, the LH4011 can continuously
drive 500. coaxial cables.

Recommended Layout Precautions: RF/video printed circuit
board layout rules should be followed when using the
LH4011 since it will provide gain to frequencies over
160 MHz. Ground planes are recommended and power supplies should be decoupled at each device with low inductance capacitors. In addition. ground plane shielding may be
extended to the metal case of the device since it is electrically isolated from internal circuitry. Alternatively. the case
should be connected to the output to minimize input capacitance.
Short Circuit Protection: Short circuit protection may be added by inserting appropriate value resistors between V + and
Vc+ pins and V- and Vc- pins as illustrated in Figure 4.
Resistor values may be predicted by:
V+
VRUM "'-=Isc
ISC
The inclusion of limiting resistors in the collectors of the
output transistors reduces output voltage swing. Decoupling
Vc+ and Vc - pins with capacitors to ground will retain full
output swing for transient pulses.

Application Hints (Continued)
Capacitive Loading: The LH4011 is designed to drive capacitive loads such as coaxial cables in excess of several thousand picofarads without susceptibility to oscillation. However, peak current resulting from (C x dV Idt), should be limited below absolute maximum peak current ratings for the
devices.

(a~:N)

Operation Within an Op Amp Loop: The device may be used
as a current booster or isolation buffer within a closed loop
with op amps such as LH0032, LM6161, or LM118. An isolation resistor of 470. should be used between the op amp
output and the input of LH4011. The wide bandwidth and
high slew rate of the LH4011 assures that the loop has the
characteristics of the op amp and that additional compensation is not required.

Hardware: In order to utilize the full drive capabilities of both
devices, each should be mounted with a heat sink particularly for extended temperature operation. The cases of both
are isolated from the circuit and may be connected to system chassis.

In addition, power dissipation resulting from driving capacitive loads plus standby power should be kept below the
package power rating.

the shortest practical lead lengths must be connected from
each supply lead (within % to %" of the device package) to
a ground plane. Capacitors should be two 0.1 J-LF ceramic

LAYOUT: Breadboards should have a solid ground plane
and short point-to-point wiring. Do not use wire wrap boards
or techniques. PC boards should have short connections
and as much ground plane as possible.

OPERATION WITHIN AN OP AMP LOOP: The device may
be used as a current booster or isolation buffer within a
closed loop with op amps such as LH0032, LM6161, or
LM118. An isolation resistor of 470 should be used between the op amp output and the input of the LH4012. The
wide bandwidth and high slew rate of the LH4012 assures
that the loop has the characteristics of the op amp and that
additional frequency compensation is not required.

It is best to have a layout without sockets, but sockets with
shortpins and receptacles do not significantly degrade the
performance.
The LH4012 has built-in 0.01 /LF power supply bypass capacitors, but additional 4.7 /LF tantalum capacitors are
needed a maximum of 1" distant from the pins.
Input and output signals should be fed by coax or microstrip
if the distances are more than a few inches to avoid impedance mismatches and resulting reflections. However, inside
a feedback loop all connections should be short to avoid
time delays and the associated phase shifts.

.....
rN

:::E:

""......
CI

N

o

HEATSINK: In order to utilize the full drive capabilities of
both the LH4012K or the LH4012CK, the device should be
mounted with a heatsink, particularly for extended temperature operation.
VOLTAGE SWING: Input voltage is allowed to swing between positive and negative supply voltage levels, but it
must be within ± 3V of the output voltage. If the voltage
differential from input to output is greater than ± 3V the
base-to-emitter diode of one of the input transistors will be
broken down in reverse and the transistor will be degraded
and could be destroyed.

SOURCE RESISTANCE: The LH4012 is designed to work
from a 500 or higher source impedance. If driven from a low
source impedance, especially if it is inductive, a series input
resistor is recommended that brings the source impedance
to 500, or instabilities could result.

SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION: In the interest of high performance the LH4012 has been deSigned without built-in
protection. The simplest protection is a series resistor in the
output. This approach has the advantage that input and output voltage of the buffer stay close together even during a
shorted load. The main disadvantage is that the output voltage swing is reduced. Accuracy is normally not a problem,
since the voltage drop across the protection resistor can be
compensated for by more gain somewhere else in the circuit. This is especially true if the buffer is used within the
feedback loop of an opamp.

CAPACITIVE LOADING: As with all buffers, capacitive
loading can lead to instabilities. This can be minimized by
redUCing the phase angle of the load with a resistor either in
series or in parallel with the capaCitor or with a combination
of both.

The charge current of the load capacitor,
dV
C Load x dT
should be considered when the load current is checked
against its absolute maximum limit.
In addition, power dissipation resulting from driving capacitive loads plus standby power should be kept below the
package power rating.

Note 1: LH4033C is 100% .production tested at 25°C only. Specifications at temperature extremes are verified by sample testing. but these limits are not used to
calculate outgoing quality level.
Note 2: Specification is at 25°C junction temperature due to requirements of high speed automatic testing. Actual values at operating temperature will exceed the
value at T J = 25°C. When supply voltages are ± 15V no-load operating junction temperature may rise 40-60"C above ambient, and more under load conditions.
Accordingly, Vos may change one to several mV, and 18 will change significantly during warm-up. Refer to 18 vs. temperature graph for expected values.

Application Hints
Recommended Layout Precautions: RF/video printed circuit board layout rules should be followed when using the
LH4033C and LH4063C since they will provide power gain
to frequencies over 100 MHz. Ground planes are recommended .and power supplies should be decoupled at each
device with low inductance capacitors.
Offset Voltage Adjustment: Both the LH4033C's and
LH4063C's offset voltages have been actively trimmed. by
laser to meet guaranteed specifications when the offset preset pin is shorted to the offset adjust pin. This pre-calibration allows the devices to be used in most DC or AC applications without individually offset nulling each device. If offset
null is desirable, it is simply obtained by leaving the offset
preset pin open and connecting a trim pot of 2000 for the
LH4033C or 1 kO for the LH4063C between the offset adjust pin and V- as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.

Application Hints (Continued)
limit techniques that retain full DC output swing are shown in
Figures 5, 6 and 7. In Figures 5 and 6, the current sources
are saturated during normal operation thus apply full supply
voltage to the VC pins. Under fault conditions, the voltage
decreases as required by the overload. For Figure 5:

Operation from Single or Asymmetrical Power Supplies:
Both device types may be readily used in applications where
symmetrical supplies are unavailable or not desirable. A typical application might be an interface to a MOS shift register
where V+ = + 5V and V- = -12V. In this case, an apparent output offset occurs due to the device's voltage gain of
less than unity. This additional output offset error may be
predicted by:

AVo'" (1 - Av)

VSE
0.6V
RUM = = - - - = 100
Isc

In Figure 6, quad transistor arrays are used to minimize part
count and:

(V+ - V-I

= 0.005 (V+ - V-I

where:
Av = No load voltage gain, typically 0.99

V- = Negative suply voltage

For the above example, AVo would be -35 mY. This may
be adjusted to zero by offset voltage adjustment described
earlier. For AC coupled applications, no additional offset occurs if the DC input is properly biased as illustrated in the
"typical applications" section.
Short Circuit Protection: In order to optimize transient response and output swing, output current limit has been
omitted from the LH4033 and LH4063. Short circuit protection may be added by inserting appropriate value resistors
between V+ and Vc+ pins and V- and Vc- pins as illustrated in Figures 3 and 4. Resistor values may be predicted
by:

Operation Within an Op Amp Loop: Both devices may be
used as a current booster or isolation buffer within a closed
loop with op amps such as LH0032, LH0062, or LM118. An
isolation resistor of 47.n should be used between the op
amp output and the input of LH4033C. The wide bandwidths
and high slew rates of the LH4033C and LH4063C assure
that the loop has the characteristics of the op amp and that
additional rolloff is not required.

Hardware: In order to utilize the full drive capabilities of
both devices, each should be mounted with a heat sink particularly for extended temperature operation.
DESIGN PRECAUTION
Power supply bypassing is necessary to prevent oscillation
with both the LH4033C and LH4063C in all circuits. Low
inductance ceramic disc capacitors with the shortest practical lead lengths must be connected from each supply lead
(within < %" to '12" of the device package) to a ground
plane. Capacitors should be one or two 0.1 /LF in parallel for
the LH4033C; adding a 4.7 /LF solid tantalum capacitor will
help in troublesome instances. For the LH4063C, two
0.1 /LF ceramic and one 4.7 /LF solid tantalum capacitors in
parallel will be necessary on each supply lead.

TLlK/10008-10

FIGURE 6. LH4063C Current Limiting
Using Current Sources
Capacitance Loading: Both the LH4033C and LH4063C
are designed to drive capacitive loads such as coaxial cables in excess of several thousand picofarads without susceptibility to oscillation. However, peak current resulting
from (CdV/dt) should be limited below absolute maximum
peak current ratings for the devices.

General Description
The LM102 series are high-gain operational amplifiers designed specifically for unity-gain voltage follower applications. Built on a single silicon chip, the devices incorporate
advanced processing techniques to obtain very low input
current and high input impedance. Further, the input transistors are operated at zero collector-base voltage to virtually
eliminate high temperature leakage currents. It can therefore be operated in a temperature stabilized component
oven to get extremely low input currents and low offset voltage drift.
The LM102, which is designed to operate with supply voltages between ± 12V and ± 15V, also features low input
capacitance as well as excellent small signal and large signal frequency response-all of which minimize high fre-

quency gain error. Because of the low wiring capacitances
inherent in monolithic construction, this fast operation can
be realized without increasing power consumption.

Features
II Fast slewing - 10V/).Ls
.. Low input current - 10 nA (max)
II High input resistance 10,000 MU
II No external frequency compensation required
II Simple offset balancing with optional 1K potentiometer
III Plug-in replacement for both the LM101 and LM709 in
voltage follower applications

Note 1: The maximum junction temperature of the LM102 is IS0'C. while that of the LM302 is BS'C. For operating at elevated temperatures. devices in the HOB
package must be derated based on a thermal resistance of ISfY'C/W, junction to ambient, or 2fY'C/W, junction to case.
Note 2: For supply voltages less than ± ISV, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply voltage.
Note 3: It is necessary to insert a resistor (at least 5k and preferably 10k) in series with the input pin when the amplifier is driven from low impedance sources to

prevent damage when the output is shorted and to ensure stability.
Note 4: These spec~ications apply for ±12V ,;; Vs ,;; ±ISVand -SS'C ,;; TA ,;; 12S'C for the LM102 and O'C ,;;TA ,;; 7fY'C for the LM302 unless otherwise
specified.

Note 5: Increased output swing under load can be obtained by connecting an external resistor between the booster and V- terminals. See curve.

Note 6: Refer to RETS102X for the LM102H military specifications.
APPLICATION HINT
The input must be driven from a source impedance of typically 10 kG (5 kG Min) to maintain stability. The total source
impedance will be reduced at high frequencies if there is stray capaCitance at the input pin. In these cases, a 10 kG resistor
should be inserted in series with the input, physically close to the input pin to minimize the stray capacitance and prevent
oscillation.

General Description
The LM110 series are monolithic operational amplifiers internally connected as unity-gain non-inverting amplifiers.
They use super-gain transistors in the input stage to get low
bias current without sacrificing speed. Directly interchangeable with 101, 741 and 709 in voltage follower applications,
these devices have internal frequency compensation and
provision for offset balancing.

ing lower offset voltage, drift, bias current and noise in addition to higher speed and wider operating voltage range ..
The LM110 is specified over a temperature range -55'C :5:
TA:5: + 125'C, the LM210 from -25'C:5: TA :5: + 85'C and
the LM310 from O'C :5: TA :5: + 70'C.

The LM110 series are useful in fast sample and hold circuits, active filters, or as general-purpose buffers. Further,
the frequency response is sufficiently better than standard
IC amplifiers that the followers can be included in the feedback loop without introducing instability. They are plug-in
replacements for the LM102 series voltage followers, offer-

Note 1: The maximum junction temperature of the LMll0 is ISO"C. of the LM210 is 100"C, and of the LM310 is 8S'C. For operating at elevated temperatures,
devices in the H08 package must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 16S'C/W, junction to ambient, or 2Z'C/W, junction to case. The thermal resisiance
of the dual·in-line package is 100'C/W, junction to ambient.
Note 2: For supply voltages less than ±ISV, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply voltage.
Note 3: Continuous short circuit for the LMll 0 and LM210 is allowed for case temperatures to 12S'C and ambient temperatures to 70"C, and for the LM31 0, 70"C
case temperature or 55"C ambient temperature. It is necessary to insert a resistor greater than 2 kO in series with the input when the amplifier is driven from low
impedance sources to prevent damage when the output is shorted. RS = 5k min, 10k typical is recommended for dynamic stability in all applications.

Note 5: Increased output swing under load can be obtained by connecting an extemal resistor between the booster and V- terminals. See curve.

Note 6: Refer to RETSll0X for LMll0H, LMll0J military specifications.

Application Hint
The input must be driven from a source impedance of typically 10 ko' (5 ko' min.) to maintain stability. The total source
impedance will be reduced at high frequencies if there is stray capacitance at the input pin. In these cases, a 10 ko' resistor
should be inserted in series with the input, physically close to the input pin to minimize the stray capacitance and prevent

General Description

Features

These high speed unity gain buffers slew at 800 VI JLs and
have a small signal bandwidth of 50 MHz while driving a
500. load. They can drive ±300 mA peak and do not oscillate while driving large capacitive loads. The LM6121 family
are monolithic ICs which offer performance similar to the
LH0002 with the additional features of current limit and thermal shutdown.

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

These buffers are built with National's VIPTM (Vertically Integrated PNP) process which provides fast PNP transistors
that are true complements to the already fast NPN devices.
This advanced junction-isolated process delivers high
speed performance without the rieed for complex and expensive dielectric isolation.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. DC and AC electrical specifications do not apply when operating
the device beyond its rated operating condHions.
Note 2: During current IimH or thermaillmH. the Input current wlllincreaoe H the Input to output diHerentiai voltage exceeds 8V. For Input to output differential
voltages in excess 01 8V the Input current should be limited to ± 20 mAo
Note 3: The LM6121 series buffers contain current limit and thermal shutdown to protect against lau~ conditions.
Note 4: For.operation at elevated temperatures. these devices must be derated based on a thermal resistance 018JA and TJ max. with TJ = TA + 8JAPD. 8JC lor
the LM6121 H and LM6221 H is 17"C/W. The thermal impedance 9JA 01 the device in the N package is 47"C/W when soldered directly to a printed clrcuH board, and
the heat-sinking pins (pins 1,4,5 and 8) are connected to 2 square inches 012 oz. copper. When installed In a socket, the thermal impedance 9JA 01 the N package
is 64'C/W.
Note 5: Rs = 50n, Vs = ± 15V, unless otherwise specified. Boldface numbers apply over the operating temperature range. Numbers in standard typeface apply
at TA = 25'C. Electrical tests are performed with high-speed automated test eqUipment, so that T J = TA, unless otherwise noted.
Note 6: Guaranteed and 100% production tested.
Note 7: Guaranteed over the operating temperature range (but not 100% testad).
Note 8: The input is biased to 2.5V and VIN swings Vpp about this value. The input swing is 2 Vpp at all temperatures except lor the Av3 test at -55'C where It Is
reduced to 1.5 Vpp.
Note 9: Slew rate Is measured wHh a ± 11V input pulse and 50n source impedance at 25'C. Since voltage gain is typically 0.9 driving a 50n load, the output swing
will be approximately ± 10V. Slew rata is calculated lor transitions between ± 5V levels on both rising and falling edges. A high speed measurement is done to
minimize device heating. For slew rate versus iunction temperature see typical performance curves. The input pulse amplHude should be reduced to ± 10V lor
measurements at temperature extremes. For accurate measurements, the input slew rate should be at least 1700 VI !,S.
Note 10: The test circuit consists 01 the human body model 01 120 pF in series with 1500n.

Note 1: This rating applies for ± lSV supplies. The positive input voltage limit is 30V above the negative supply. The negative input voltage limit is equal to the
negative supply voltage or 30V below the positive supply, whichever is less.

Note 2: The maximum junction temperature is 150"C. For operating at elevated temperatures, devices in the flat package, the derating is based on a thermal
resistance of 185"C/W when mounted on a V.winch-thick epoxy glass board with O.03-inch-wide, 2 ounce copper conductor. The thermal resistance of the dual-in-

line package is 1OOOC/W, junction to ambient.

supplies. For the LH2311. VIN ~ ±10 mY.

Note 4: The offset voltages and offset currents given are the maximum values required to drive the output within a volt of either supply with a 1 rnA load. Thus,
these parameters define an error band and take into account the worst case effects of voltage gain and input impedance.

LM106/LM20S/lM306 Voltage Comparator

r-

s:
(,)

General Description

oCJ)

The LM106 series are high-speed voltage comparators designed to accurately detect low-level analog signals and
drive a digital load. They are equivalent to an LM710, combined with a two input NAND gate and an output buffer. The
circuits can drive RTL, DTL or TTL integrated circuits directly. Furthermore, their outputs can switch voltages up to 24V
at currents as high as 10 mA.

The LM106 is specified for operation over the -55'C to
+ 125'C military temperature range. The LM206 is specified
for operation over the - 25'C to + 85'C temperature range.
The LM306 is specified for operation over O'C to + 70'C
temperature range.

The devices have short-circuit protection which limits the
inrush current when it is used to drive incandescent lamps,
in addition to preventing damage from accidental shorts to
the positive supply. The speed is equivalent to that of an
LM710. However, they are even faster where buffers and
additional logic circuitry can be eliminated by the increased
flexibility of the LM106 series. They can also be operated
from any negative supply voltage between - 3V and -12V
with little effect on performance.

II

Note 1: The maximum junction temperature of LM106 is 150°C, LM206 is 110°C, LM306 is 85°C. For operating at elevated temperatures, devices in the HOS
package must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 170°C/W, junction to ambient, or 23°C/W. junction to case.

Note 2: These specifications apply for - 3V ~ V - ~ -12V I V + = 12V and TA = 25°C unless otherwise specified. All currents into device pins are considered

positive.
Note 3: The offset voltages and offset Cl:rrents given are the maximum values required to drive the output down to O.SV or up to 4.4V (O.SV or up to 4.BV for the
LM306). Thus, these parameters actually define an error band and take into account the worst-case effects of voltage gain, specified supply voltage variations, and
common mode voltage variations..
Note 4: The response time specified (see definitions) is for a 100 mV input step with 5 mV overdrive.
Note 5: All currents into device pins are considered positive.
Note 6: Refer to RETS106X for LM106 military specifications.

General Description

........

r-

:s::
N
.....
.....

r-

The LM111, LM211 and LM311 are voltage comparators
that have input currents nearly a thousand times lower than
devices like the LM106 or LM710. They are also designed
to operate over a wider range of supply voltages: from standard ± 15V op amp supplies down to the single 5V supply
used for IC logic. Their output is compatible with RTL, DTL
and TTL as well as MOS circuits. Further, they can drive
lamps or relays, switching voltages up to 50V at currents as
high as 50 mAo
Both the inputs and the outputs of the LM111, LM211 or the
LM311 can be isolated from system ground, and the output
can drive loads referred to ground, the positive supply or the
negative supply. Offset balancing and strobe capability are
provided and outputs can be wire OR'ed. Although slower
than the LM106 and LM710 (200 ns response time vs

Typical Applications **

40 ns) the devices are also much less prone to spurious
oscillations. The LM111 has the same pin configuration as
the LM106 and LM710.
The LM211 is identical to the LM111, except that its performance is specified over a -25'C to +85'C temperature
range instead of -55'C to + 125'C. The LM311 has a temperature range of O'C to + 70'C.

CIRCUIT TECHNIQUES FOR AVOIDING
OSCILLATIONS IN COMPARATOR APPLICATIONS

When a high-speed comparator such as the LMlll is used
with fast input signals and low source impedances, the output response will normally be fast and stable, assuming that
the power supplies have been bypassed (with 0.1 /LF disc
capacitors), and that the output signal is routed well away
from the inputs (pins 2 and 3) and also away from pins 5 and

4. When comparator circuits use input resistors (eg. summing resistors), their value and placement are particularly
important. In all cases the body of the resistor should be
close to the device or socket. In other words there should
be very little lead length or printed-circuit foil run between
comparator and resistor to radiate or pick up signals. The
same applies to capacitors, pots, etc. For example, if
Rs=10 kfl, as little as 5 inches of lead between the resistors and the input pins can result in oscillations that are
very hard to damp. Twisting these input leads tightly is
the only (second best) alternative to placing resistors
close to the comparator.

6.
However, when the input signal is a voltage ramp or a slow
sine wave, or if the signal source impedance is high (1 kfl to
100 kfl), the comparator may burst into oscillation near the
crossing-point. This is due to the high gain and wide bandwidth of comparators like the LMlll. To avoid oscillation or
instability in such a usage, several precautions are recommended, as shown in Figure 1 below.
1. The trim pins (pins 5 and 6) act as unwanted auxiliary
inputs. If these pins are not connected to a trim-pot, they
should be shorted together. If they are connected to a
trim-pot, a 0.01 /LA capacitor Cl between pins 5 and 6
will minimize the susceptibility to AC coupling. A smaller
capacitor is used if pin 5 is used for positive feedback as
in Figure 1.

N
.....
.....

......

.-s:

Co)

.....
.....

5. Since feedback to almost any pin of a comparator can
result in oscillation, the printed-circuit layout should be
engineered thoughtfully. Preferably there should be a
groundplane under the LMlll Circuitry, for example, one
side of a double-layer circuit card. Ground foil (or, positive
supply or negative supply foil) should extend between the
output and the inputs, to act as a guard. The foil connections for the inputs should be as small and compact as
possible, and should be essentially surrounded by ground
foil on all sides, to guard against capacitive coupling from
any high-level signals (such as the output). If pins 5 and 6
are not used, they should be shorted together. If they are
connected to a trim-pot, the trim-pot should be located, at
most, a few inches away from the LMll1, and the 0.01
/LF capacitor should be installed. If this capacitor cannot
be used, a shielding printed-circuit foil may be advisable
between pins 6 and 7. The power supply bypass capacitors should be located within a couple inches of the
LMlll. (Some other comparators require the power-supply bypass to be located immediately adjacent to the
comparator.)

2. Certain sources will produce a cleaner comparator output
waveform if a 100 pF to 1000 pF capacitor C2 is connected directly across the input pins.
3. When the signal source is applied through a resistive network, Rs, it is usually advantageous to choose an Rs' of
substantially the same value, both for DC and for dynamic
(AC) considerations. Carbon, tin-oxide, and metal-film resistors have all been used successfully in comparator input circuitry. Inductive wirewound resistors are not suitable.

6. It is a standard procedure to use hysteresis (positive
feedback) around a comparator, to prevent oscillation,
and to avoid excessive noise on the output because the
comparator is a good amplifier for its own noise. In the
circuit of· Figure 2, the feedback from the output to the
positive input will cause about 3 mV of hysteresis. However, if Rs is larger than 100n, such as 50 kn, it would
not be reasonable to simply increase the value of the
positive feedback resistor above 510 kn. the circuit of
Figure 3 could be used, but it is rather awkward. See the
notes in paragraph 7 below.

feedback is to pin 5 (one of the offset adjustment pins). It
is sufficient to cause 1 to 2 mV hysteresis and sharp
transitions with input triangle waves from a few Hz to
hundreds of kHz. The positive-feedback signal across
the 82n resistor swings 240 mV below the positive supply. This signal is centered around the nominal voltage at
pin 5, so this feedback does not add to the Vos of the
comparator. As much as 8 mV of Vos can be trimmed
out, using the 5 kn pot and 3 kn resistor as shown.
8. These application notes apply specifically to the LM111,
LM211, LM311, and LF111 families of comparators, and
are applicable to all high-speed comparators in general,
(with the exception that not all comparators have trim
pins).

7. When both inputs of the LM111 are connected to active
signals, or if a high-impedance signal is driving the positive input of the LM 111 so that positive feedback would
be disruptive, the circuit of Figure 1 is ideal. The positive

• Typically 80 ns response time at ± 15V
• Minimum fan-out of 2 each side
• Maximum input current of 1 ".A over temperature
• Inputs and outputs can be isolated from system ground
• High common mode slew rate
Although designed primarily for applications requiring operation from digital logic supplies, the LM119 series are fully
specified for power supplies up to ± 15V. It features faster
response than the LM 111 at the expense of higher power
dissipation. However, the high speed, wide operating voltage range and low package count make the LM119 much
more versatile than older devices like the LM711.

The LM119 series are precision high speed dual comparators fabricated on a single monolithic chip. They are designed to operate over a wide range of supply voltages
down to a single 5V logic supply and ground. Further, they
have higher gain and lower input currents than devices like
the LM710. The uncommitted collector of the output stage
makes the LM119 compatible with RTL, DTL and TIL as
well as capable of driving lamps and relays at currents up to
25 mA.
The LM119A and LM319A offer improved precision over the
standard LM119 and LM319, with tighter tolerances on offset voltage, offset current, and voltage gain.

The LM119A and LM119 are specified from -55'C to
+ 125'C, the LM219 is specified from - 25'C to + 85·C,
and the LM319A and LM319 are specified from O'C to
+70'C.

+ 8SoC. The offset voltage, offset current and bias current specifications apply for any supply

voltage from a single 5V supply up to ± 15V supplies. Do not operate the device with more than l6V from ground to Vs.

Note 4: The offset voltages and offset currents given are the maximum values required to drive the output within a volt of either supply with a 1 rnA load. Thus,
these parameters define an error band and take into account the worst case effects of voltage gain and input impedance.
Note 5: The response time specified (see definitions) is for a 100 mV input step with 5 mV overdrive.

Note 6: Output is pulled up to 15V through a 1.4 k!l resistor.
Note 7: Refer to RETS119X for LM119H/883 and LM119J/883 specifications, RETS119AX for LM119AH/883 and LM119AJ/883 specifications.

independent precision
voltage comparators with an offset voltage specification as
low as 2 mV max for all four comparators. These were designed specifically to operate from a single power supply
over a wide range of voltages. Operation from split power
supplies is also possible and the low power supply current
drain is independent of the magnitude of the power supply
voltage. These comparators also have a unique characteristic in that the input common-mode voltage range includes
ground, even though operated from a single power supply
voltage.

Eliminates need for dual supplies
Allows sensing near GND
Compatible with all forms of logic
Power drain suitable for battery operation

Features
• Wide single supply voltage range of dual supplies
LM139 series,
2 Voc to 36 Voc or
±1 Voc to ±lB Voc
LM139A series, LM2901
LM3302
2 Voc to 2B Voc
or ±1 Voc to ±14 Voc
• Very low supply current drain (O.B mAl - independent
of supply voltage
• Low input biasing current
25 nA
• Low input offset current
± 5 nA
and offset voltage
±3 mV
• Input common-mode voltage range includes GND
• Differential input voltage range equal to the power
supply voltage
250 mV at 4 mA
• Low output saturation voltage
• Output voltage compatible with TTL, DTL, ECL, MOS
and CMOS logic systems

Application areas include limit comparators, simple analog
to digital converters; pulse, squarewave and time delay generators; wide range VCO; MOS clock timers; multivibrators
and high voltage digital logic gates. The LM139 series was
designed to directly interface with TTL and CMOS. When
operated from both plus and minus power supplies, they will
directly interface with MOS logic- where the low power
drain of the LM339 is a distinct advantage over standard
comparators.

Advantages
• High precision comparators
• Reduced Vas drift over temperature

Note 1: For operating at high temperatures, the LM339/LM339A, LM2901, LM3302 must be derated based on a 125°C maximum junction temperature and a thermal resistance of 95°C/W which applies for the device soldered in a
printed circuit board, operating in a still air ambient. The LM239 and LM139 must be derated based on a 150°C maximum junction temperature. The low bias dissipation and the "ON-OFF" characteristic of the outputs keeps the chip
dissipation very small (PDS:100 mW), provided the output transistors are allowed to saturate.
Note 2: Short circuits from the output to V+ can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction. When considering short circuits to ground, the maximum output current is approximately 20 rnA lndependentof the magnitude of V+.
Note 3: This input current will only exist when the voltage at any of the input leads is driven negative. It is due to the collector-base junction of the input PNP transistors becoming forward biased and thereby acting as input diode
clamps. In addition to this diode action, there is also lateral NPN parasitiC transistor action on the Ie Chip. This transistor action can cause the output voltages of the comparators to go to the V+ voltage level (or to ground for a large
overdrive) for the time dlfation that an input is driven negative. This is not destructive and normal output states will re-establish when the input voltage, which was negative, again returns to a valve greater than -0.3 Voc (at 25°)C.
Note 4: These speCifications are limited to - 55°C::S;;TA::S;; + 125°C, for the LM139/LM139A. With the LM239/LM239A, all temperature specifications are limited to - 25°C ~TA::S;;
are limited to O°C,;;TA';; +70"C, and the LM2901, LM3302 temperature range is -40"C';;TA';; + 85"C.
Note 5: The direction of the input current is out of the

+ 85°C, the LM339/LM339A temperature specifications

Ie due to the PNP input stage. This current is essentially constant, independent of the state of the output so no loading change exists on the reference or input lines.

Note 6: The input common-mode voltage or either input signal voltage should not be allowed to go negative by more than 0.3V. The upper end of the common-mode voltage range is V+ -1.5V at 25"C, but either or both inputs can go
to +30 Vac without damage (25V for LM3302), independent of the magnitude of V+.
Note 7: The response time specified is a 100 mV input step with 5 mV overdrive. For larger overdrive signals 300 ns can be obtained, see typical performance characteristics section.
Note 8: Positive excursions of input voltage may exceed the power supply level. As long as the other voltage remains within the common-mode range, the comparator will provide a proper output state. The low input voltage state
must not be less than -0.3 Vac (or 0.3 Vac below the magnitude of the negative power supply, if used) (at 25°C).
Note 9: At output switch point, VO~1.4 Voc, RS=On with V+ from 5 Voc to 30 Voc; and over the full input common-mode range (0 Voc to V+ -1.5 Vod, at 25°C. For LM3302, V+ from 5 VOC to 28 Voc.
Note 10: Refer to RETS139AX for LM139AJ military specifications and to RETS139X for LM139J military specifications.

Application Hints
The differential input voltage may be larger than V + without
damaging the device. Protection should be provided to prevent the input voltages from going negative more than -0.3
Voc (at 25'C). An input ·clamp diode can be used as shown
in the applications section.

The LM139 series are high gain, wide bandwidth devices
which, like most comparators, can easily oscillate if the output lead is inadvertently allowed to capacitively couple to
the inputs via stray capacitance. This shows up only during
the output voltage transition intervals as the comparator
changes states. Power supply bypassing is not required to
solve this problem. Standard PC board layout is helpful as it
reduces stray input-output coupling. Reducing this input resistors to < 10 kO reduces the feedback signal levels and
finally, adding even a small amount (1 to 10 mV) of positive
feedback (hystereSiS) causes such a rapid transition that
oscillations due to stray feedback are not possible. Simply
socketing the IC and attaching resistors to the pins will
cause input-output oscillations during the small transition intervals unless hysteresis is used. If the input signal is a
pulse waveform, with relatively fast rise and fall times, hysteresis is not required.

The output of the LM139 series is the uncommitted collector
of a grounded-emitter NPN output transistor. Many collectors can be tied together to provide an output OR'ing function. An output pull-up resistor can be connected to any
available power supply voltage within the permitted supply
voltage range and there is no restriction on this voltage due
to the magnitude of the )loltage which is applied to the V +
terminal of the LM139A package. The output can also be
used as a simple SPST switch to ground (when a pull-up
resistor is not used). The amount of current which the output
device can sink is limited by the drive available (which is
independent of V +) and the f3 of this device. When the
maximum· current limit is reached (approximately 16 mA),
the output transistor will come out of saturation and the output voltage will rise very rapidly. The output saturation voltage is limited by the approximately 600 RSAT of the output
transistor. The low offset voltage of the output transistor (1
mV) allows the output to clamp essentially to ground level
for small load currents.

All pins of any unused comparators should be grounded.
The bias network of the LM139 series establishes a drain
current which is independent of the magnitude of the power
supply voltage over the range of from 2 Voc to 30 Voc.
It is usually unnecessary to use a bypass capacitor across
the power supply line.

Features

The LM160/LM260/LM360 is a very high speed differential
input, complementary TTL output voltage comparator with
improved characteristics over the ",A7601 ",A760C, for
which it is a pin-for-pin replacement. The device has been
optimized for greater speed, input impedance and fan-out,
and lower input offset voltage. Typically delay varies only
3 ns for overdrive variations of 5 mV to 400 mV.
Complementary outputs having minimum skew are provided. Applications involve high speed analog to digital convertors and zero-crossing detectors in disk file systems.

LM 193/LM293/LM393, LM 193A/LM293A/LM393A,
LM2903 Low Power Low Offset Voltage Dual
Comparators
General Description
..
..
..
..

The LM193 series consists of two independent precision
voltage comparators with an offset voltage specification as
low as 2.0 mV max for two comparators which were designed specifically to operate from a single power supply
over a wide range of voltages. Operation from split power
supplies is also possible and the low power supply current
drain is independent of the magnitude of the power supply
voltage. These comparators also have a unique characteristic in that the input common-mode voltage range includes
ground, even though operated from a single power supply
voltage.
Application areas include limit comparators, simple analog
to digital converters; pulse, squarewave and time delay generators; wide range VCO; MOS clock timers; multivibrators
and high voltage digital logic gates. The LM193 series was
designed to directly interface with TTL and CMOS. When
operated from both plus and minus power supplies, the
LM193 series will directly interface with MOS logic where
their low power drain is a distinct advantage over standard
comparators.

(Note 8)

Note 1: For operating at high temperatures, the LM393/LM393A and LM2903 must be derated based on a 125°C maximum junction temperature and a thermal resistance of

170a C/W

400

which applies for the device soldered in a printed

circuH board, operating in a still air ambient. The LM193/LM193A1LM293/LM293A must be derated based on a 150"C maximum junction temperature. The low bias dissipation and the "ON·OFF" characteristic of the outputs keeps the
chip dissipation very small (Po';; 100 mW), provided the output transistors are allowed to saturate.
Note 2: Short circuits from the output to V+ can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction. When considering short circuits to ground, the maximum output current is approximately 20 rnA independent of the magnitude of V+ .

Note 3: This input current will only exist when the voltage at any of the input leads is driven negative. It is due to the collector-base junction of the input PNP transistors becoming forward biased and thereby acllng as input diode

'!'
en
c.>

clamps. In addition to this diode action, there is also lateral NPN parasitic transistor action on the IC chip. This transistor action can cause the output voltages of the comparators to go to the V+ voltage level (or to ground for a large
overdrive) for the time duration that an input is driven negative. This is not destructive and normal output states will re·establish when the input voltage, which was negative, again returns to a value greater than -0.3 Voe.

Note 4: These specifications are limited to - 55·C,;; TA';; + 125·C, for the LM193/LM193A, With the LM293/LM293A all temperature specifications are limited to - 25·C,;;TA';; + 85·C and the LM393/LM393A temperature specifications are limited to O"C,;;TA';; +70·C. The LM2903 is limited to -40"C,;;TA';; + 85·C.
Note 5: The direction of the input current is out of the IC due to the PNP input stage. This current is essentially constant, independent of the state of the output so no loading change exists on the reference or input lines.
Note 6: The input common~mode voltage or either input signal voltage should not be allowed to go negative by more than 0.3V. The upper end of the common-mode voltage range is V+ -1.5V at 25°C, but either or both inputs can go

to 36 Voc wHhout damage, independent of the magnitude of V+.
Note 7: The response time specified is for a 100 mV input step with 5 mV overdrive. For larger overdrive signals 300 ns can be obtained, see typical performance characteristics section.
Note 8: Positive excursions of input voltage may exceed the power supply level. As long as the other voltage remains within the common-mode range. the comparator will provide a proper output state. The low input voltage state must
not be less than -0.3 VOC (or 0.3 VOC below the magnitude of the negative power supply, if used).

Note 9: At oulput switch point, VO'" 1.4 VOC,

Rs~OIl

with V+ from 5 Voc to 30 Voc; and over the full input common-mode range (0 Voc to V+ -1.5 Voc), at 25·C.

Note 10: Refer to RETS193AX for LM193AH/military specifications and to RETS193X for LM193H/military specifications.

Application Hints
The LM193 series are high gain, wide bandwidth devices
which, like most comparators, can easily oscillate if the output lead is inadvertently allowed to capacitively couple to
the inputs via stray capacitance. This shows up only during
the output voltage transition intervals as the comparator
change states. Power supply bypassing is not required to
solve this problem. Standard PC board layout is helpful as it
reduces stray input-output coupling. Reducing the input resistors to < 10 kn reduces the feedback signal levels and
finally, adding even a small amount (1.0 to 10 mY) of positive feedback (hysteresis) causes such a rapid transition
that oscillations due to stray feedback are not possible. Simply socketing the IC and attaching resistors to the pins will
cause input-output oscillations during the small transition intervals unless hysteresis is used. If the input signal is a
pulse waveform, with relatively fast rise and fall times, hysteresis is not required.

The differential input voltage may be larger than V+ without
damaging the device (see Note 8). Protection should be
provided to prevent the input voltages from going negative
more than -0.3 VDC (at 25·C). An input clamp diode can be
used as shown in the applications section.
The output of the LM193 series is the uncommitted collector
of a grounded-emitter NPN output transistor. Many collectors can be tied together to provide an output OR'ing function. An output pull-up resistor can be connected to any
available power supply voltage within the permitted supply
voltage range and there is no restriction on this voltage due
to the magnitude of the voltage which is applied to the V+
terminal of the LM193 package. The output can also be
used as a simple SPST switch to ground (when a pull-up
resistor is not used). The amount of current which the output
device can sink is limited by the drive available (which is
independent of V+) and the fJ of this device. When the
maximum current limit is reached (approximately 16 mAl,
the output transistor will come out of saturation and the output voltage will rise very rapidly. The output saturation voltage is limited by the approximately 60n rSAT of the output
transistor. The low offset voltage of the output transistor
(1.0 mY) allows the output to clamp essentially to ground
level for small load currents.

All pins of any unused comparators should be grounded.
The bias network of the LM193 series establishes a drain
current which is independent of the magnitude of the power
supply voltage over the range of from 2.0 VDC to 30 VDC.
It is usually unnecessary to use a bypass capacitor across
the power supply line.

monolithic construction make the device difficult to duplicate with discrete components operating at equivalent power levels.

The LM710 series are high-speed voltage comparators intended for use as an accurate, low-level digital level sensor
or as a replacement for operational amplifiers in comparator
applications where speed is of prime importance. The circuit
has a differential input and a single-ended output, with saturated output levels compatible with practically all types of
integrated logic.

The LM710 series are useful as pulse height discriminators,
voltage comparators in high-speed AID converters or go,
no-go detectors in automatic test equipment. They also
have applications in digital systems as an adjustable-threshold line receiver or an interface between logiC types. In addition, the low cost of the units suggests them for applications
replacing relatively simple discrete component circuitry.

The device is built on a single silicon chip which insures low
offset and thermal drift. The use of a minimum number of
stages along with minority-carrier lifetime control (gold doping) makes the circuit much faster than operational amplifiers in saturating comparator applications. In fact, the low

LP265/LP365 Micropower Programmable
Quad Comparator
General Description

Features

The LP365 consists of four independent voltage comparators. The comparators can be programmed, four at the
same time, for various supply currents, input currents, response times and output current drives. This is accomplished by connecting a single resistor between the Vee
and ISET pins.
These comparators can be operated from split power supplies or from a single power supply over a wide range of
voltages. The input can sense signals at ground level even
with single supply operation. The unique output NPN transistor stages are uncommitted to either power supply. They
can be connected directly to various logic system supplies
so that they are highly flexible to interface with various logic
families.

• Single programming resistor to tailor power consumption, input current, speed and output current drive
capability
• Wide single supply voltage range or dual supplies (4
Voe to 36 Voe or ± 2.0 Voe to ± 18 Vocl
• Low supply current drain (10 ,..A) and low power
consumption (1 0 ,..W/comparator)@ISET = 0.5,..A
Vee = 5voe
• Uncommitted output stage-selectable output levels
• Output directly compatible with DTL, TTL, CMOS, MaS
or other special logic families
• Input common-mode range includes ground
• Differential input voltage equal to the power supply
voltage

Application areas include battery power circuits, threshold
detectors, zero crossing detectors, simple serial AID converters, VCO, multivibrators, voltage converters, power sequencers, and high performance V IF converters, and RTD
linearization.

Note I: The input voltage is not allowed to go 0.3V above V+ or -0.3V below V- as this will tum on a parasitic transistor causing large currents to flow through
the device.
Note 2: Short circuits from the output to V+ may cause excessive heating and eventual destruction. The current in the output leads and the VE lead should not be
allowed to exceed 30 mAo The output should not be shorted to V- if VE<;(V-) + 7V.
Note 3; For operating at elevated temperatures, these devices must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 9JA and TJ max. Tj =TA + 8jAPOo

All four phases run when X is low. When X is high, oscillation stops and
power drain is zero.

II VE ~ O.25V, then VOUT will be low il 1 01 the 3 other outputs are low.
Choice of VE = O.50V causes VOUT to be low if 2 of the 3 other outputs are
low; VE = Q.75V will cause VOUT to be low if all 3 other outputs are low.

It is a good practice to add a few millivolts of positive feedback to prevent
oscillation when the input voltage is near the threshold.

Positive feedback from the emitter can also prevent oscillations when VIN is
near the threshold.

LP311 Voltage Comparator
General Description

Features

The LP311 is a low power version of the industry-standard
LM311. It takes advantage of stable high-value ion-implanted resistors to perform the same function as an LM311, with
a 30:1 reduction in power drain, but only a 6:1 slowdown of
response time. Thus the LP311 is well suited for batterypowered applications, and all other applications where fast
response is not needed. It operates over a wide range of
supply voltages from 36V down to a single 3V supply, with
less than 200 p.A drain, but it is still capable of driving a 25
mA load. The LP311 is quite easy to apply without any oscillation, if ordinary precautions are taken to minimize stray
coupling from the output to either input or to the trim pins.
(See the LM311 section of the Linear Databook.)

Note 1: For elevated temperature operation, Tj max is t2S'C for the LP339. 6ja ijunction to ambient) is 17S'C/W for the LP339N and 120'C/W for the LP339M
when either device is soldered in a printed circuit board in a still air environment. The low bias dissipation and the "ON~OFF" characteristic of the outputs keeps the

chip dissipation very small (Po <: 100 mW), provided the output transistors are allowed to saturate.
Note 2: Short circuits from the output to V + can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction. The maximum output current is approximately 50 rnA.
Note 3: This input current will only exist when the voltage at any of the input leads is driven negative. It is due to the collector-base junction of the input PNP
transistors becoming forward biased and thereby acting as input clamp diodes. In addition to this diode action, there is also lateral NPN parasitic transistor action

on the IC chip. This transistor action can cause the output voltage of the comparators to go to the V+ voltage level (or to ground for a large input overdrive) for the
time dUration that an input is driven negative. This is not destructive and normal output states will re-establish when the input voltage, which is negative, again

returns to a value greater than -0.3 VOC (TA=2S·C).
Note 4: These specifications apply for V+ =SVoc and 0'C<:TA<:70' C, unless otherwise stated. The temperature extremes are guaranteed but not 100%
production tested. These parameters are not used to calculate outgoing AQL.
Note 5: The direction of the input current is out of the Ie due to the PNP input stage. This current is essentially constant, independent of the state of the output, so
no loading change exists on the reference or the input lines as long as the common-mode range is not exceeded.

Note 6: The input common·mode voltage or either input voltage should not be allowed to go negative by more than 0.3V. The upper end of the cammon·mode
voltage range is V+ -1.5V (TA = 2S'C), but either or both inputs can go to 30 Voc without damage.
Note 7: The response time specified is for a 100 mV input step with 5 mV overdrive. For larger overdrive signals 1.3 pos can be obtained. See Typical Performance
Characteristics section.

5·89

Electrical Characteristics (V + = 5 Voc. Note 4) (Continued)
Note 8: Positive excursions of input voltage may exceed the power supply level. As long as the other voltage remains within the common·mode rangB, the

comparator will provide a proper output state. The low input voltage state must not be less than -0.3 Voc (or 0.3 VDC below the magnitude of the negative power
supply. if used) at TA = 25°C.
Note 9: At output switch pOint. VO= 1.4V. RS=On with V+ from 5 Voc; and over the full input common-mode range (0 Voc to V+ -1.5 VDcl.
Note 10: For input signals that exceed V +. only the overdriven comparator is affected. With a 5V supply, VIN should be limited to 25V maximum, and a limiting
resistor should be used on all inputs that might exceed the positive supply.

Note 11: The output sink current is a function of the output voltage. The LP339 has a bi-modal output section which allows it to sink large currents via a Darlington
connection at output voltages greater than approximately 1.5 Voc and sink lower currents below this point. (See typical characteristics section and applications
section).

Application Hints
All pins of any unused comparators should be grounded.

Notice that the output section is configured in a Darlington
connection (ignoring 03). Therefore, if the output voltage is
held high enough (Vo~ 1 Vocl, 01 is not saturated and the
output current is limited only by the product of the betas of
01, 02 and 11 (and the 60n RSAT of 02). The LP339 is thus
capable of driving LED's, relays, etc. in this mode while
maintaining an ultra-low power supply current of typically
60 ",A.
If transistor 03 were omitted, and the output voltage allowed to drop below about 0.8 VOC, transistor 01 would
saturate and the output current would drop to zero. The
circuit would, therefore, be unable to 'pull' low current loads
down to ground (or the negative supply, if used). Transistor
03 has been included to bypass transistor 01 under these
conditions and apply the current 11 directly to the base of
02. The output sink current is now approximately 11 times
the beta of 02 (700 ",A at Vo=O.4 Vocl. The output of the
LP339 exhibits a bi-modal characteristic with a smooth transition between modes. (See Output Sink Current graphs in
Typical Performance Characteristics section.)

The bias network of the LP339 establishes a drain current
which is independent of the magnitude of the power supply
voltage over the range of from 2 Voc to 30 Voc.
It is usually unnecessary to use a bypass capacitor across
the power supply line.
The differential input voltage may be larger than V + without
damaging the device. Protection should be provided to prevent the input voltages from going negative more than -0.3
Voc (at 25"C). An input clamp diode can be used as shown
in the application section.
The output section of the LP339 has two distinct modes of
operation-a Darlington mode and a grounded emitter mode.
This unique drive circuit permits the LP339 to sink 30 mA at
Vo=2 Voc (Darlington mode) and 700 ",A at Vo=O.4 VOC
(grounded emitter mode). Figure 1 is a simplified schematic
diagram of the LP339 output section.

.....------VCC

It is also important to note that in both cases the output is
an uncommitted collector. Therefore, many collectors can
be tied together to provide an output OR'ing function. An
output pull-up resistor can be connected to any available
power supply voltage within the permitted power supply
voltage range and there is no restriction on this voltage due
to the magnitude of the voltage which is applied to the V +
terminal of the LP339 package.

be 20 p.A per side. The action of A2 and A3 is such that
20 p.A is maintained constant despite the presence of common-mode signals. The differential outputs of A2 and A3 are
applied to differential amplifier, A4, which converts the sig·
nal to a single-ended output and provides gain of 5. The
total gain of the amplifier is, therefore, the fixed gain of 5
multiplied by the gain of the composite input stage.

The LH0038 is a 3-stage, true instrumentation amplifier
composed of a well matched transistor differential pair, 01
and 02, a common-mode loop amplifier, A2 and A3, and a
differential to single ended amplifier, A4. A simplified schematic is shown in Figure 3.
Current source, lA, establishes a voltage across R14 of approximately 2V, which results in a 2V drop across R8 and

Table 1 summarizes the primary gain configurations available with the LH0038. Obviously, other gains are possible.
Using the internally supplied resistors has the advantage
that R16, R17, and RE all track thermally, minimizing the
device's gain error as a function of temperature.
Gain adjustment by paralleling or series padding internally
supplied resistors is generally discouraged since external
resistors will generally not thermally track. It is recommended that the gain adjustment be done in a subsequent stage
as shown in Figure 4.

Offset of the LH003B is trimmed by the factory to a very low
value. The offset may be further trimmed using a 10 kn, 10
turn, 100 ppmrC potentiometer as shown in Figure 8. However, a drift increase of 0.3 p. V
will be caused for each
100 P.V of offset adjusted. The recommended offset null is
shown in Figure 4 and is accomplished in the following
stage.

rc

>~""'OVOUT

BIAS CURRENT CONSIDERATIONS
The LH003B exhibits bias current of approximately 50 nA
per side, and requires a path to ground or supply. The practical limitation to the maximum resistance between the inputs and ground is dictated by negative common-mode
range as shown in Figure 9. For example, for VCM = -10V,
RCM ,;; 20 Mn.
The LH003B input stage bias was optimized for minimum
voltage noise so the input bias currents are higher than
might otherwise be expected. Note, however, that the input
currents are very well matched, resulting in an offset current
value much lower than one might infer from the bias current.
In order to take advantage of this low offset current, the
source impedances at both inputs should be matched to
minimize DC drift. Further, bias current is relatively constant
with temperature (as opposed to an FET stage), so one can
consider bias current compensation schemes such as
shown in Figure 10. The danger with such techniques is that
the offset current and noise contributed by the bias current
compensator will dominate the system noise.

put stage. In most discrete instrumentation amplifier realizations, the stray capacitance mismatch dominates simply because the stray capacitances are relatively large (this can
be trimmed out in a discrete amplifier). In a hybrid circuit
such as the LH0038, stray capacitance is minimized, so the
effects of mismatch are also minimized.

SETTLING TIME
The LH0038 has been purposely over-compensated, and is
therefore remarkably free from any undesirable transient response. Small signal settling time is governed by gain-bandwidth product; large signal settling time is dominated by
slew rate.
Figure 11 shows an input voltage. step of +10V to -10V
applied, through a 1000 to 1 voltage divider, to the device
configured for an inverting gain of 1000. The output of the
device will therefore be equal to the negative of the input
after the device is completely settled. By resistively subtracting the input before the divider from the device output,
a pseudo summing node is generated. The voltage at this
pseudo summing junction goes "off screen" on the photos,
since in the first small time increment the input goes instantaneously to -10 mV and the output is still at + 10V. About
130 I-'s after the input has gone negative, the output slews
back in range and begins an exponential approach to the
final value. Figure 12 is the same set-up for a -10V to
+ 1OV input pulse. Note that there is no overshoot in either
case. The test circuit is shown in Figure 13.

The response to a pulse or noise spike applied as a common-mode signal may be dominated by the slew characteristics of the input stage. Whenever the common-mode input
slew rate exceeds 0.2 V/ I-'s, the 2 input amplifiers will apply
identical ramp signals to the final stage and cause its output
to go to near OV. Note that the amplifier is not really active
under these conditions as normal mode Signal variations will
not be coupled to the output. Some time may,be required for
the amplifier to settle after a transient of this kind before the
output can be considered representative of the input. Slew
rate limiting will not normally be the limiting factor for sine
wave common-mode signals as 0.2 V/ I-'s corresponds to
about 2 kHz (20 Vp-p).

POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
Although the LH0038 exhibits in excess of 120 dB PSRR at
DC, the figure degrades to 100 dB at 120 Hz. It is recommended that both V+ and V- leads be by-passed with 11-'F
electrolytic ,in shunt with 0.Q1 I-'F ceramic disc no, further
than 1 inch from the device.

HIGH FREQUENCY CMRR
The LH0038 resistor ratios are carefully trimmed for optimum CMRR at DC through 60 Hz. Inevitably, this rejection
will degrade at higher frequencies due to 2 separate effects:
stray capaCitance mismatch and slew rate limiting in the in-

THEORY OF OPERATION
The LH0084 is a digitally-programmable-gain true-instrumentation amplifier composed of a variable-gain voltage-follower input stage (A1 and A2), followed by a differential output stage (A3). The schematic is shown in Figure 4.
The input stage contains matched high-speed FET-input op
amps (A 1 and A2). A high-stability temperature-compensated resistor network (R1 through R7) controls feedback ratios at the inverting inputs of op amps A 1 and A2 via FET
switches S1A-S4A and 518-548. Since the FET switches
are in series with the op amp input impedance their resistance match and temperature drift do not degrade the gain
accuracy of the instrumentation amplifier. The FET switches
are controlled through a 1-of-4 decoder and switch driver,
by the logic levels applied at the digital input terminals 01

The two ground pins, analog and digital grounds, should be
connected together as close to the device as possible, preferably with a ground plane underneath the device. If this is
not pOSSible, the grounds should be connected together locally with back-to-back diodes and hard-wired together offboard. If a ground reference offset is used, it must be low
impedance compared to the ground sense resistance to
avoid CMRR degradation.
Care must be taken in the supply power-on sequence. The
LH0084 may suffer irreversible damage if the V+ supply is
applied prior to the powering on the V- supply. In most
applications using dual tracking supplies and with the device
supply pins adequately bypassed, this will not present a
problem. If this cannot be guaranteed, a germanium or
Schottky protection diode should be connected between
the digital ground pin and the V- pin as shown in Figure 5.

The output stage, consisting of op amp A3 and resistors R8

of the input stage, V2 minus V1, to a single·ended output.
For increased flexibility of the LH0084, the output stage gain
is pin-strappable by selecting R10, R10+R12, or
Rl0+R12+R14 as feedback resistor for A3. The ratios of
these resistors to the differential stage input resistor R3 are
kept very accurate to maintain the excellent overall gain
accuracy of the device. The output stage gain, AV(2), is
equal to the feedback resistance divided by the input resistance. Thus with, for example, Pin 7 wired to Pin 10, that gain

The input signals should be connected as shown in Figure
6. To minimize errors, Rs(+), Rs(-) and ReM should be
kept as small as possible.

Recommended offset adjust procedure is as follows: Initially
set both pots to center positions and short both inputs of
the LH0084 to ground.

The output connections are also shown in Figure 6. The
feedback leads should be kept short as should the ground
sense in order to minimize lead resistance and parasitic capacitance.

a) Set the input stage gain to 1 (pull 01 and 00 low). Measure the output voltage, VOUT1.
b) Set the input stage gain to 10 (pull 01 and 00 high).
Measure the new output voltage, VOUT2.

OFFSET AND GAIN ADJUSTMENTS
Special care must be taken when using external offset adjustment. Since the LH0084 is a 2-stage amplifier with each
stage contributing offset errors, and the amplifier presumably is used at several different gains, it is important to realize that the offsets of both the 1st and the 2nd stages must
be nulled to maintain zero offset referred to output (RTD) at
all gain settings.
In general, it is recommended that the input stage offset
(VIOS) be adjusted with a potentiometer as shown in Figure
7. The output stage offset (Voos) is ideally adjusted at a
subsequent gain stage (i.e. sample-and-hold or A-to-O converter), but if this is impractical, it may also be done as
shown in Figure 7.

Voos=g(10. Voun-VOUT2)

d) While maintaining an input stage gain of 10, adjust the
input offset voltage (VIOS) potentiometer until the output
voltage is equal to the voltage calculated in Equation (4).
e) Change the input back to a gain of 1 and adjust the output offset voltage (Voos) potentiometer until the output
voltage is zero.

ground. The device interfaces directly to TIL and, with pulldown resistors, to CMOS.

An alternate offset adjust scheme is shown in Figure 8. The
offset should be rezeroed after each time the gain is
changed or when the op amp integrator drift warrants a new
zero pulse. An additional advantage of this adjustment technique is that it can also be used to cancel out offset voltage
drift and common-mode voltage error contributions.

Interfacing with microprocessors will usually require a latch.
A circuit using full 6-bit wide address decode and write
strobe is shown in Figure 9.
REMOTE OUTPUT SENSE

External gain adjustment is generally discouraged since
gain accuracy can be optimized for one gain setting only. If
gain adjustment is required, however, it should be done at a
subsequent gain stage.

The feedback resistors of the LH0084 can be connected
directly at the load in order to eliminate errors due to lead
resistance (Figure 10).

percent of full-scale (10V for operation with ± 15V supply).
For testing purposes it is the difference between positive

composed of input offset voltage. VIOS. and output offset
voltage. Voos. and is a function of amplifier gain. The overall offset voltage is given by:
VOS(RTO)=AV(2)(AV(1) VIOS+Voos)

Common-Mode Rejection Ratio, CMRR: The ratio of the
input common-mode voltage range to the change in input
offset voltage over this range.

General Description

....
N

The LM121 series are precision preamplifiers designed to
operate with general purpose operational amplifiers to drastically decrease dc errors. Drift, bias current, common mode
and supply rejection are more than a factor of 50 better than
standard op amps alone. Further, the added dc gain of the
LM121 decreases the closed loop gain error.
The LM121 series operates with supply voltages from ±3V
to ± 20V and has sufficient supply rejection to operate from
unregulated supplies. The operating current is programmable from 5 /LA to 200 /LA so bias current, offset current, gain
and noise can be optimized for the particular application
while still realizing very low drift. Super-gain transistors are
used for the input stage so input error currents are lower
than conventional amplifiers at the same operating current.
Further, the initial offset voltage is easily nulled to zero.
The extremely low drift of the LM121 will improve accuracy
on almost any precision dc circuit. For example, instrumentation amplifier, strain gauge amplifiers and thermocouple
amplifiers now using chopper amplifiers can be made with

the LM121. The full differential input and high commonmode rejection are another advantage over choppers. For
applications where low bias current is more important than
drift, the operating current can be reduced to low values.
High operating currents can be used for low voltage noise
with low source resistance. The programmable operating
current of the LM121 allows tailoring the input characteristics to match those of specialized op amps.

The LM221 is specified over a - 25'C to + 85'C range and

Frequency Compensation

N
N

UNIVERSAL COMPENSATION
The additional gain of the LM321 preamplifier when used
with an operational amplifier usually necessitates additional
frequency compensation. When the closed loop gain of the
op amp with the LM321 is less than the gain of the LM321
alone, more compensation is needed. The worst case situation is when there is 100% feedback-such as a voltage
follower or integrator-and the Qain of the LM321 is high.
When high closed loop gains are used-for example Ay =
1000-and only an addition gain of 200 is inserted by the
LM321 , the frequency compensation of the op amp will usually suffice.
The frequency compensation shown here is designed to operate with any unity-gain stable op amp. Figure 1 shows the
basic configuration of frequency stabilizing network. In operation the output of the LM321 is rendered single ended by a
0.01 IJoF bypass capacitor to ground. Overall frequency compensation then is achieved by an integrating capacitor
around the op amp.

LM363 Precision Instrumentation Amplifier
General Description

The LM363 is a monolithic true instrumentation amplifier. It
requires no external parts for fixed gains of 10, 100 and
1000. High precision is attained by on-chip trimming of offset voltage and gain. A super-beta bipolar input stage gives
very low input bias current and voltage noise, extremely low
offset voltage drift, and high common-mode rejection ratio.
A new two-stage amplifier design yields an open loop gain
of 10,000,000 and a gain bandwidth product of 30 MHz, yet
remains stable for all closed loop gains. The LM363 operates with supply voltages from ± 5V to ± laV with only 1.5
mA current drain.
The LM363's low voltage noise, low offset voltage and offset voltage drift make it ideal for amplifying low-level, lowimpedance transducers. At the same time, its low bias current and high input impedance (both common-mode and
differential) provide excellent performance at high impedance levels. These features, along with its ultra-high common-mode rejection, allow the LM363 to be used in the
most demanding instrumentation amplifier applications, replacing expensive hybrid, module or multi-chip designs. Because the LM363 is internally trimmed, precision external
resistors and their associated errors are eliminated.

eliminate bandwidth loss due to cable capacitance. Compensation pins allow overcompensation to reduce bandwidth and output noise, or to provide greater stability with
capacitive loads. Separate output force, sense and reference pins permit gains between 10 and 10,000 to be programmed using external resistors.
On the a-pin HOa package, gain is internally set at 10, 100
or 500 but may be increased with external resistors. The
shield driver and offset adjust pins are omitted on the a-pin
versions.
The LM363 is rated for O'C to 70'C.

FIGURE 5_ Adjusting Gain (S-Pin Package)

6-56

Application Hints (Continued)
Heavy Miller overcompensation on the 16-pin package can
degrade AC PSRR. A large capacitor between pins 15 and
16 couples transients on the positive supply to the output
buffer. Since the amplifier bandwidth is severely rolled off it
cannot keep the output at the correct state at moderate
frequencies. Hence, for good PSRR, either keep the Miller
capacitance under 1000 pF or use the pin 15-to-ground
compensation.

COMPENSATION AND OUTPUT CLAMPING
The LM363 is internally compensated for unity feedback
from output to sense. Increasing gain with external dividers
will decrease the bandwidth and increase stability margin.
Without external compensation, the amplifier can stably
drive capacitive loads up to 400 pF. When used as an op
amp (sense and reference pins grounded, feedback to inverting input), the LM363 is stable for gains of 100 or more.
For greater stability, the device may be over-compensated
as in Figure 6. Tables I and II depict suggested compensation components along with the resulting changes in large
and small signal bandwidth for the B-pin and 16-pin packages, respectively.
Note that the RC network from pin B of the B-pin device to
ground has a large effect on power bandwidth, especially at
low gains. The Miller capacitance utilized for the 16-pin device permits higher slew rate and larger load capacitance
for the same bandwidth, and is preferred when bandwidth
must be greatly reduced (e.g., to reduce output noise).

Application Hints (Continued)
. Because the LM363's output voltage is approximately one
diode drop below the voltage at pin 15 (pin 8 for the 8-pin
device), this point may be used to limit output swing as seen
in Figure 7a. Current available from this pin is only 50 JJ-A, so
that zeners must have a sharp breakdown to clamp accurately. Alternatively, a diode tied to a voltage source could
be used as in Figure 7b.
6.2V

50 pF to ground at both shield driver outputs. Do not use
only one shield driver for a single-ended signal as oscillations can result; shield driver to input capacitance must be
roughly balanced (±30%). To further reduce noise pickup,
the shielded signal lines may be enclosed together in a
grounded shield. If a large amount of RF noise is the problem, the only sure cure is a filter capacitor at both inputs;
otherwise the RFI may be internally rectified, producing an
offset.
DC loading on the shield drivers should be minimized. The
drivers can only source approximately 40 JJ-A; above this
value the input stage bias voltages change, degrading Vos
and CMRR. While the shield drivers can sink several mA,
Vos may degrade severely at loads above 100 JJ-A (see
Shield Driver Loading Error curve in Typical Performance
Characteristics). Because the shield drivers are one diode
drop above the input levels, unbalanced leakage paths from
shield to input can produce an input offset at high source
impedances. Buffering with emitter-followers (Figure 8b) reduces this leakage current by reducing the voltage differential and eliminates any loading on the amplifier.

SHIELD DRIVERS
When differential signals are sent through long cables, three
problems occur. First, nOise, both common-mode and differential, is picked up. Second, signal bandwidth is reduced by
the RC low-pass filter formed by the source impedance and
the cable capacitance. Finally, when these RC time constants are not identical (unbalanced source impedance
and/or unbalanced capacitance), AC common-mode rejection is degraded, amplifying both induced noise and
"ground" noise. Either filtering at the amplifier inputs or
slowing down the amplifier by overcompensating will indeed
reduce the noise, but the price is slower response. The
LM363's dual shield drivers can actually increase bandwidth
while reducing noise.

b. NPN Followers to Reduce Offsets
TlIH/5609-16

The way this is done is by bootstrapping out shield capacitance. The shield drivers follow the input signal. Since both
sides of the shield capacitance swing the same amount, it is
effectively out of the circuit at frequencies of interest.
Hence, the input signal is not rolled off and AC CMRR is not
degraded (Figure 8). The LM363's shield drivers can handle
capacitances (shield to center conductor) as high as 1000
pF with source resistances up to 100 kfi.

FIGURE 8. Driving Shielded Cables
MISCELLANEOUS TRIMMING
The Vos adjust and shield driver pins available on the 16pin package may be used to trim the other parameters besides offset voltage, as illustrated in Figure 10. The bias-current trim relies on the fact that the voltage on the shield
driver and gain setting pins is one diode drop respectively
above and below the input voltage. Input bias current can
be held to within 100 pA over the entire common-mode
range, and input offset current always stays under 30 pA.
The CMRR trims use the shield driver pins to drive the Vos
adjust pins, thus maintaining the LM363's ultra-high input
impedance.

For best results, identical shielded cables should be used
for both signal inputs, although small mismatches in shield
driver to ground capacitance (:5:500 pF) do not cause problems. At certain low values of cable capacitance (50 pF200 pF), high frequency oscillations can occur at high
source resistance (;:'; 10 kfi). This is alleviated by adding

Application Hints (Continued)
Vas. Both the gain and DC CMRR trims can degrade positive PSRR; the positive PSRR can then be nulled out if desired. The correct order of trimming from first to last is bias
current, gain, CMRR, negative PSRR, positive PSRR and
Vas·

If power supply rejection is critical, frequently only the negative PSRR need be adjusted, since the positive PSRR is
more tightly specified. Any or all of the trim schemes of
Figure 10 can be combined as desired. As long as the center tap of the 100k trimpot is returned to a voltage 200 mV
below V+, the trim schemes shown will not greatly affect

This thermometer is cabable of O.OI°e accuracy over -500 e to

one oven trip. Extra op amps provide full Kelvin sensing on the sensor
without adding drift and offset terms found in other designs. A2 is configured as a Howland current pump, biasing the sensor with a fixed
current.
Resistors R2, R3, R4 and R5 from a bridge driven into balance by A 1. In
balance, both inputs of AI are at the same voltage. Since R6~ R7, AI
draws equal currents from both legs of the bridge. Any loading of the
R4/R5 leg by the sensor would unbalance the bridge; therefore, both
bridge taps are given to the sensor open circuit voltage and no current
is drawn.

Surface Mount
Cost pressures today are forcing many electronics manufacturers to automate their production lines. Surface mount
technology plays a key role in this cost-savings trend because:

SURFACE MOUNT PACKAGING AT NATIONAL
To help our customers take advantage of this new tech nology, National has developed a line of surface mount packages. Ranging in lead counts from 3 to 360, the package
offerings are summarized in Table I.

1. The mounting of devices on the PC board surface eliminates the expense of drilling holes;

Lead center spacing keeps shrinking with each new generation of surface mount package. Traditional packages (e.g.,
OIPs) have a 100 mil lead center spacing. Surface mount
packages currently in production (e.g., SOT, SOIC, PCC,
LCC, LOCC) have a 50 mil lead center spacing. Surface
mount packages in production release (e.g., PQFP) have a
25 mil lead center spacing. Surface mount packages in development (e.g., TAPEPAK®) will have a lead center spacing of only 12-20 mils.

2. The use of pick-and-place machines to assemble the PC
boards greatly reduces labor costs;
3. The lighter and more compact assembled products resuiting from the smaller dimensions of surface mount
packages mean lower material costs.
Production processes now permit both surface mount and
insertion mount components to be assembled on the same
PC board.

"Test conditions: PCB mount (FR4 material). still air (room temperature),
copper traces (150 x 20 x 10 mils).

Automated manufacturers can improve their cost savings by
using Tape-and-Reel for surface mount devices. Simplified
handling results because hundreds-to-thousands of semiconductors are carried on a single Tape-and-Reel pack (see
ordering and shipping information-printed later in this section-for a comparison of devices/reel vs. devices/rail for
those surface mount package types being used for linear
products). With this higher device count per reel (when compared with less than a 100 devices per rail), pick-and-place
machines have to be re-Ioaded less frequently and lower
labor costs result.
With Tape-and-Reel, manufacturers save twice-once from
using surface mount technology for automated PC board
assembly and again from less device handling during shipment and machine set-up.

Given a max junction temperature of 150·C and a maximum
allowed ambient temperature, the surface mount device will
be able to dissipate less power than the DIP device. This
factor must be taken into account for new designs.
For board conversion, the DIP and surface mount devices
would have to dissipate the same power. This means the
surface mount circuit would have a lower maximum allowable ambient temperature than the DIP circuit. For DIP circuits where the maximum ambient temperature required is
substantially lower than the maximum ambient temperature
allowed, there may be enough margin for safe operation of
the surface mount circuit with its lower maximum allowable
ambient temperature. But where the maximum ambient temperature required of the DIP current is close to the maximum allowable ambient temperature, the lower maximum
ambient temperature allowed for the surface mount circuit
may fall below the maximum ambient temperature required.
The circuit designer must be aware of this potential pitfall so
that an appropriate work-around can be found to keep the
surface mount package from being thermally overstressed
in the application.

BOARD CONVERSION
Besides new designs, many manufacturers are converting
existing printed circuit board designs to surface mount. The
resulting PCB will be smaller, lighter and less expensive to
manufacture; but there is one caveat-be careful about the
thermal dissipation capability of the surface mount package.
Because the surface mount package is smaller than the traditional dual-in-line package, the surface mount package is
not capable of conducting as much heat away as the DIP
(i.e., the surface mount package has a higher thermal resistance-see Table II).

SURFACE MOUNT LITERATURE
National has published extensive literature on the subject of
surface mount packaging. Engineers from packaging, quality, reliability, and surface mount applications have pooled
their experience to provide you with practical hands-on
knowledge about the construction and use of surface mount
packages.
The applications note AN-450 "Surface Mounting Methods
and their Effect on Product Reliability" is referenced on
each SMD datasheet. In addition, "Wave Soldering of Surface Mount Components" is reprinted in this section for your
information.

The silicon for most National devices can operate up to a
150·C junction temperature (check the datasheet for the
rare exception). Like the DIP, the surface mount package
can actually withstand an ambient temperature of up to
125·C (although a commercial temperature range device
will only be specified for a max ambient temperature of 70·C
and an industrial temperature range device will only be
specified for a max ambient temperature of 85·C). See
AN-336, "Understanding Integrated Circuit Package Power
Capabilities", (reprinted in the appendix of each linear databook volume) for more information.

A FINAL WORD
National is a world leader in the design and manufacture of
surface mount components.
Because of design innovations such as perforated copper
leadframes, our small outline package is as reliable as our
DIP-the laws of physics would have meant that a straight
"junior copy" of the DIP would have resulted in an "5.0."
package of lower reliability. You benefit from this equivalence of reliability. In addition, our ongoing vigilance at each
step of the production process assures that the reliability we
designed in stays in so that only devices of the highest quality and reliability are shipped to your factory.

ABSTRACT
In facing the upcoming surge of "surface mount technology", many manufacturers of printed circuit boards have taken steps to convert some portions of their boards to this
new process. However, as the availability of surface mount
components is still limited, may have taken to mixing the
lead-inserted standard dual-in-line packages (DIPs) with the
surface mounted devices (SMDs). Furthermore, to take advantage of using both sides of the board, surface-mounted
components are generally adhered to the bottom side of the
board while the top side is reserved for the conventional
lead-inserted packages. If processed through a wave solder
machine, the semiconductor components are now subjected to extra thermal stresses (now that the components are
totally immersed into the molten solder).

A discussion of the effect of wave soldering on the reliability
of plastic semiconductor packages follows. This is intended
to highlight the limitations which should be understood in
the use of wave soldering of surface mounted components.

ROLE OF WAVE-SOLDERING IN
APPLICATION OF SMDs

Future Tape-and-Reel packs will also include a smaller-size
bar code label (high-density code 39) at the beginning of the
tape. (This tape label is not available on current production.)

The generally acceptable methods of soldering SMDs are
vapor phase reflow soldering and IR reflow soldering, both
requiring application of solder paste on PW boards prior to
placement of the components. However, sentiment still exists for retaining the use of the old wave-soldering machine.

National Semiconductor will also offer additional labels containing information per your specific specification.

Wave Soldering of Surface Mount Components (Continued)
C) VaporliR rellow only.

The reasons being:
1) Most PC Board Assembly houses already possess wave
soldering equipment. Switching to another technology
such as vapor phase soldering requires substantial investment in equipment and people.
2) Due to the limited number of devices that are surface
mount components, it is necessary to mix both lead inserted components and surface mount components on
the same board.

1. Components on the same side of PW Board.
Trim and form standard DIPs in "gull wing" configuration
Solder paste screened on PW Board
Pick and place SMDs and DIPs
Bake
VaporII R reflow
Clean

3) Some components such as relays and switches are
made of materials which would not be able to survive the
temperature exposure in a vapor phase or IR furnace.

2. Components on opposite sides of PW Board.
Solder paste screened on SMD-side of Printed
Wire Board

PW BOARD ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
There are two considerations in which through-hole ICs may
be combined with surface mount components on the PW
Board:
a) Whether to mount ICs on one or both sides of the board.
b) The sequence of soldering using Vapor Phase, IR or
Wave Soldering singly or combination of two or more
methods.
The various processes that may be employed are:
A) Wave Solder before VaporliR reflow solder.
1. Components on the same side of PW Board.
Lead insert standard DIPS onto PW Board Wave
solder (conventional)
Wash and lead trim
Dispense solder paste on SMD pads
Pick and place SMDs onto PW Board
Bake
Vapor phaseliR reflow
Clean
2. Components on opposite side of PW Board.
Lead insert standard DIPs onto PW Board
Wave Solder (conventional)
Clean and lead trim
Invert PW Board
Dispense solder paste on SMD pads
Dispense drop of adhesive on SMD sites (optional
for smaller components)
Pick and place SMDs onto board
Bake/Cure
Invert board to rest on raised fixture
VaporliR rellow soldering

B) VaporliR rellow solder then Wave Solder.

All of the above assembly procedures can be divided into
three categories for I.C. Reliability considerations:
1) Components are subjected to both a vapor phaseliR
heat cycle then followed by a wave-solder heat cycle or
vice versa.
2) Components are subjected to only a vapor phaseliR
heat cycle.
3) Components are subjected to wave-soldering only and
SMDs are subjected to heat by immersion into a solder
pot.
Of these three categories, the last is the most severe regarding heat treatment to a semiconductor device. However, note that semiconductor molded packages generally
possess a coating of solder on their leads as a final finish
for solderability and protection of base leadframe material.
Most semiconductor manufacturers solder-plate the component leads, while others perform hot solder dip. In the latter
case the packages may be subjected to total immersion into
a hot solder bath under controlled conditions (manual operation) or be partially immersed while in a 'pallet' where automatic wave or DIP soldering processes are used. It is, therefore, possible to subject SMDs to solder heat under certain
conditions and not cause catastrophic failures.

THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF
MOLDED INTEGRATED CIRCUITS
Since Plastic DIPs and SMDs are encapsulated with a thermoset epoxy, the thermal characteristics of the material
generally correspond to a TMA(Thermo-Mechanical Analysis) graph. The critical parameters are (a) its Linear thermal
expansion characteristics and (b) its glass transition temperature after the epoxy has been fully cured. A typical TMA
graph is illustrated in Figure 1. Note that the epoxy changes
to a higher thermal expansion once it is subjected to temperatures exceeding its glass transition temperature. Metals
(as used on lead frames, for example) do not have this characteristic and generally will have a consistent Linear thermal
expansion over the same temperature range.
In any good reliable plastic package, the choice of lead
frame material should be such to match its thermal expansion properties to that of the encapsulating epoxy. In the
event that there is a mismatch between the two, stresses
can build up at the interface of the epoxy and metal. There
now exists a tendency for the epoxy to separate from the
metal lead frame in a manner similar to that observed on bimetallic thermal range.

EFFECT ON PACKAGE PERFORMANCE BY
EPOXY-METAL SEPARATION
In wave soldering, it is necessary to use fluxes to assist the
solderability of the components and PW boards. Some facilities may even process the boards and components through
some form of acid cleaning prior to the soldering temperature. If separation occurs, the flux residues and acid residues (which may be present owing to inadequate cleaning)
will be forced into the package mainly by capillary action as
the residues move away from the solder heat source. Once
the package is cooled, these contaminants are now trapped
within the package and are available to diffuse with moisture
from the epoxy over time. It should be noted that electrical
tests performed immediately after soldering generally will
give no indication of this potential problem. In any case, the
end result will be corrosion of the chip metallization over
time and premature failure of the device in the field.
VAPOR PHASE/IR REFLOW SOLDERING
In both vapor phase and IR reflow soldering, the risk of
separation between epoxy/metal can also be high. Operating temperatures are 215'C (vapor phase) or 240'C (IR) and
duration may also be longer (30 sec-SO sec). On the same
theoretical basis, there should also be separation. However,
in both these methods, solder paste is applied to the pads
of the boards; no fluxes are used. Also, the devices are not
immersed into the hot solder. This reduces the possibility of
solder forCing itself into the epoxy-lead frame interface. Furthermore, in the vapor phase system, the soldering environment is "oxygen-free" and considered "contaminant free".
Being so, it could be visualized that as far as reliability with
respect to corrosion, both of these methods are advantageous over wave soldering.

In most cases when the packages are kept at temperatures
below their glass transition, there is a small possibility of
separation at the expoxy-metal interface. Howerver, if the
package is subjected to temprature above its glass-transition temperature, the epoxy will begin to expand much
faster than the metal and the probability of separation is
greatly increased.
CONVENTIONAL WAVE-SOLDERING
Most wave-soldering operations occur at temperatures between 240-2S0'C. Conventional epoxies for encapsulation
have glass-transition temperature between 140-170'C. An
I.C. directly exposed to these temperatures risks its long
term functionality due to' epoxy/metal separation.

BIAS MOISTURE TEST
A bias moisture test was designed to determine the effect
on package performance. In this test, the packages are
pressured in a stream chamber to accelerate penetration of
moisture into the package. An electrical bias is applied on
the device. Should there be any contaminants trapped within the package, the moisture will quickly form an electrolyte
and cause the electrodes (which are the lead fingers), the
gold wire and the aluminum bond-pads of the silicon device
to corrode. The aluminum bond-pads, being the weakest
link of the system, will generally be the first to fail.
This proprietary accelerated bias/moisture pressure-test is
significant in relation to the life test condition at 85'C and

Fortunately, there are factors that can reduce that element
of risk:
1) The PW board has a certain amount of heat-sink effect
and tends to shield the components from the temperature of the solder (if they were placed on the top side of
the board). In actual measurements, DIPs achieve a temperature between 120 -150'C in a 5-second pass over
the solder. This accounts for the fact that DIPs mounted
in the conventional manner are reliable.
2) In conventional soldering, only the tip of each lead in a
DIP would experience the solder temperature because
the epoxy and die are standing above the PW board and
out of the solder bath.

The SO package is molded out of clean, thermoset plastic
compound and has no particular compatibility problems with
most printed circuit board substrates.

The typical lithographic "footprints" for SO packages are
illustrated below. Note that the 0.050" lead center-center
spacing is not easily managed by commercially-available air
pressure, hand-held dispensers.

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD

Using a stainless-steel, wire-mesh screen stencilled with an
emulsion image of the substrate pads is by far the most
common and well-tried method. The paste is forced through
the screen by a V-shaped plastic squeegee in a sweeping
manner onto the board placed beneath the screen.

The package can be reliably mounted onto substrates such
as:
o G10 or FR4 glass/resin
o FR5 glass/resin systems for high-temperature

applications

The setup for SO packages has no special requirement
from that required by other surface-mounted, passive components. Recommended working specifications are:

o Polymide boards, also high-temperature

applications
o Ceramic substrates

o Use stainless-steel, wire-mesh screens, #80 or #120,

General requirements for printed circuit boards are:

wire diameter 2.6 mils. Rule of thumb: mesh opening
should be approximately 2.5-5 times larger than the average particle size of paste material.

o Mounting pads should be solder-plated whenever

applicable.

• Use squeegee of Durometer 70.
o Experimentation with squeegee travel speed is recommended, if available on machine used.

o Solder masks are commonly used to prevent solder bridg-

ing of fine lines during soldering.
The mask also protects circuits from processing chemical
contamination and corrosion.

• Use solder paste of mesh 200-325.

If coated over pre-tinned traces, residues may accumulate
at the mask/trace interface during subsequent reflow,
leading to possible reliability failures.

o Emulsion thickness of 0.005" usually used to achieve a

Recommended application of solder resist on bare, clean
traces prior to coating exposed areas with solder.

• Snap-off height of screen should not exceed
damage to screens and minimize distortion.

solder paste thickness (wet) of about 0.008" typical.
o Mesh pattern should be 90 degrees, square grid.

General requirements for solder mask:
- Good pattern resolution.

SOLDER PASTE
Selection of solder pastE;j tends to be confusing, due to numerous formulations available from various manufacturers.
In general, the following guidelines are sufficient to qualify a
particular paste for production:

- Complete coverage of circuit lines and resistance to
flaking during soldering.
- Adhesion should be excellent on substrate material to
keep off moisture and chemicals.
-

Yo" , to avoid

o Particle sizes (see photographs below). Mesh 325 (ap-

proximately 45 microns) should be used for general purposes, while larger (solder globules) particles are preferred for lead less components (LCC). The larger particles
can easily be used for SO packages..

SOLDER PASTE SCREEN PRINTING
With the initial choice of printed circuit lithographic design
and substrate material, the first step in surface mounting is
the application of solder paste.

CLEANING
The most critical process in surface mounting SO packages
is in the cleaning cycle. The package is mounted very close
to the surface of the substrate and has a tendency to collect
residue left behind after reflow soldering.
Important considerations in cleaning are:

Hot·Air Rework Machine

• Time between soldering and cleaning to be as short as
possible. Residue should not be allowed to solidify on the
substrate for long periods of time, making it difficult to
dislodge.
• A low surface tension solvent (high penetration) should be
employed. Solvents commercially available are:
Freon TMS (general purpose)
Freon TE35/TP35 (cold·dip cleaning)
Freon TES (general purpose)

TLlF/8766-23

lead tips or, if necessary, solder paste can be dispensed
onto the pads using a varimeter. After being placed into
position, the solder is reflowed by a hot·air jet or even a
standard soldering iron.

It should also be noted that these solvents generally will
leave the substrate surface hydrophobic (moisture repel·
lent), which is desirable.

WAVE SOLDERING

Prelete or 1,1,1·Trichloroethane
Kester 5120/5121

In a case where lead insertions are made on the same
board as surface·mounted components, there is a need to
include a wave·soldering operation in the process flow:

• A defluxer system which allows the workpiece to be sub·
jected to a solvent vapor, followed by a rinse in pure sol·
vent and a high·pressure spray lance are the basic requir·
ments for low·volume production.

Two options are used:
• Surface mounted components are placed and vapor
phase reflowed before auto·insertion of remaining compo·
nents. The board is carried over a standard wave·solder
system and the underside of the board (only lead·inserted
leads) soldered.

• For volume production, a conveyorized, multiple hot sol·
vent spray/jet system is recommended.
• Rosin, being a natural occurring material, is not readify
soluble in solvents, and has long been a stumbling block
to the cleaning process. In recent developments, synthet·
ic flux (SA flux), which is readify soluble in Freon TMS
solvent, has been developed. This should be explored
where permissible.
The dangers of an inadequate cleaning cycle are:

• Surface·mounted components are placed in position, but
no solder paste is used. Instead, a drop of adhesive about
5 mils maximum in height with diameter not exceeding
25% width of the package is used to hold down the pack·
age. The adhesive is cured and then proceeded to auto·
insertion on the reverse side of the board (surface·mount·
ed side facing down). The assembly is then passed over a
"dual wave" soldering system. Note that the surface·
mounted components are immersed into the molten sol·
der.
Lead trimming will pose a problem after soldering in the
latter case, unless the leads of the insertion components
are pre·trimmed or the board specially designed to localize
certain areas for easy access to the trim blade.

• Ion contamination, where ionic residue left on boards
would cause corrosion to metallic components, affecting
the performance of the board.
• Electro·migration, where ionic residue and moisture pres·
ent on electrically·biased boards would cause dentritic
grow1h between close spacing traces on the substrate,
resulting in faifures (shorts).
REWORK

The controls required for wave soldering are:

Should there be a need to replace a component or re·align
a previously disturbed component, a hot air system with ap·
propriate orifice masking to protect surrounding compo·
nents may be used.

• Solder temperature to be 240-260·C. The dwell time of
components under molten solder to be short (preferably
kept under 2 seconds), to prevent damage to most com·
ponents and semiconductor devices.

When rework is necessary in the field, specially·designed
tweezers that thermally heat the component may be used to
remove it from its site. The replacement can be fluxed at the

• RMA (Rosin Mildly Activated) flux or more aggressive OA
(Organic Acid) flux are applied by either dipping or foam
fluxing on boards prior to preheat and soldering. Cleaning
procedures are also more difficult (aqueous, when OA flux
is used), as the entire board has been treated by flux (un·
like solder paste, which is more or less localized). Non·
halide OA fluxes are highly recommended.

RETRACT POSITION

• Preheating of boards is essential to reduce thermal shock
on components. Board should reach a temperature of
about 100·C just before entering the solder wave.

----

• Due to the closer lead spacings (0.050' vs 0.100' for
dual·in·line packages), bridging of traces by solder could
occur. The reduced clearance between packages also
causes "shadowing" of some areas, resulting in poor sol·
der coverage. This is minimized by dual·wave solder sys·
tems.

SOLDER FLOW
TL/F/8766-24

A typical dual-wave system is illustrated below, showing the
various stages employed. The first wave typically is in turbulence and given a transverse motion (across the motion of
the board). This covers areas where "shadowing" occurs. A
second wave (usually a broad wave) then proceeds to perform the standard soldering. The departing edge from the
solder is such to reduce "icicles," and is still further reduced
by an air knife placed close to the final soldering step. This
air knife will blow off exo::ess solder (still in the fluid stage)
which would otherwisE cause shorts (bridging) and solder
bumps.

Dual Wave

AQUEOUS CLEANING
• For volume production, a conveyorized system is often
used with a heated recirculating spray wash (water temperature 130'C), a final spray rinse (water temperature
45-55'C), and a hot (120'C) air/air-knife drying section.
• For low-volume production, the above cleaning can be
done manually, using several water rinses/tanks. Fastdrying solvents, like alcohols that are miscible with water,
are sometimes used to help the drying process.
• Neutralizing agents which will react with the corrosive materials in the flux and produce material readily soluble in
water may be used; the choice depends on the type of flux
used.

TLIF 18766-25

CONFORMAL COATING
Conformal coating is recommended for high-reliability PCBs
to provide insulation resistance, as well as protection
against contamination and degradation by moisture.
Requirements:

• Final rinse water should be free from chemicals which are
introduced to maintain the biological purity of the water.
These materials, mostly chlorides, are detrimental to the
assemblies cleaned because they introduce a fresh
amount of ionizable material.

• Complete coating over components and solder jOints.
• Thixotropic material which will not flow under the packages or fill voids, otherwise will introduce stress on solder
joints on expansion.
• Compatibility and possess excellent adhesion with PCB
material/ components.
• Silicones are recommended where permissible in
application.

P + Product Enhancement

A + Product Enhancement

The P+ product enhancement program applies to regulator
devices and offers an added advantage. P + involves a dynamic self-heating burn-in that tests the thermal shutdown
of the regulator. P + is proven more effective than the standard 125°C burn-in as an early screen for infant mortality
defects. It sharply reduces the cost of testing incoming components. Reliability Report L-140 further explains the P+
process. The following chart lists regulators which receive
P + prior to shipment and at no additional cost.

The A+ Product Enhancement incorporates the benefits of
the Multiple-Pass and Elevated Temperature along with
"BURN-lN."
The A + Program provides:
• 100% Temperature Cycling
• 100% Electrical Testing at Room and High Temperature
• 100% Burn-In Testing Combining Increased Temperature with Applied Voltage
• Acceptable Quality Levels Greater than Industry Norm

This appendix is intended to provide a brief overview of mili·
tary products available from National Semiconductor. For
further information, refer to our 1987 Reliability Handbook.

MIL-STD-883
Although originally intended to establish uniform test methods and procedures, Mll-STD-883 has also become the
general specification for non-JAN military product. Revision
C of this document defines the minimum requirements for a
device to be marked and advertised as 883-compliant. Included are design and construction criteria, documentation
controls, electrical and mechanical screening requirements,
and quality control procedures. Details can be found in paragraph 1.2.1 of Mll-STD-883.
National offers both 883 Class Band 883 Class S product.
The screening requirements for both classes of product are
outlined in Table III.

MIL-M-38510
The Mll-M-385tO Program, which is sometimes called the
JAN IC Program, is administered by the Defense Electronics
Supply Center (DESC). The purpose of this program is to
provide the military community with standardized products
that have been manufactured and screened to government-.
controlled specifications in government-certified facilities.
All 38510 manufacturers must be formally qualified and their
products listed on DESC's Qualified Products List (QPl) before devices can be marked and shipped as JAN product.

As with DESC specifications, a manufacturer is allowed to
use his standard electrical tests provided that all critical parameters are tested. Also, the electrical test parameters,
test conditions, test limits, and test temperatures must be
clearly documented. At National Semiconductor, this information is available via our RETS (Reliability Electrical Test
Specification Program). The RETS document is a complete
description of the electrical tests performed and is controlled by our QA department. Individual copies are available
upon request.
Some of National's older products are not completely compliant with MIL-STD-883 but are still required for use in military systems. These devices are screened to the same
stringent requirements as 883 product but are marked
"-Mil".

There are two processing levels specified within Mll-M38510: Classes Sand B. Class S is typically specified for
space flight applications, while Class B is used for aircraft
and ground systems. National is a major supplier of both
classes of devices. Screening requirements are outlined in
Table III.
Tables I and II explain the JAN device marking system.
Copies of Mll-M-38510, the QPl, and other related documents may be obtained from:

DESC Specifications

Military Screening Program (iVlSP)

DESC specifications are issued to provide standardized.versions of devices which are not yet available as JAN product.
Mll-STD-883 Class B screening is coupled with tightly controlled electrical specifications which have been written to
allow a manufacturer to use his standard electrical tests. A
current listing of National's DESC specification offerings can
be obtained from our franchised distributors, sales offices,
or DESC. DESC is located in Dayton, Ohio.

National's Military Screening Program was developed to
make screened versions of advanced products such as gate
arrays and microprocessors available more quickly than is
possible for JAN and 883 devices. Through this program,
screened product is made available for prototypes and
breadboards prior to or during the JAN or 883 qualification
activities. MSP products receive the 100% screening of Table III but are not subjected to Group C and D quality conformance testing. Other criteria such as electrical testing
and temperature range will vary depending upon individual
device status and capability.

Note 1: Unless otherwise specified, at the manufacturer's option, test samples for Group B, bond strength (Method 5005) may be randomly selected prior to or
following internal visual (Method 5004), prior to sealing provided all other specification requirements are satisfied (e.g. bond strength requirements shall apply to
each inspection lot, bond failures shall be counted even if the bond would have failed internal visual).
Note 2: For Class B devices, this test may be replaced with thermal shock method 1011, test condition A, minimum.
Note 3: At the manufacturer's option, visual inspection for catastrophic failures may be conducted after each of the thermal/mechanical screens, after the
sequence or after seal test. Catastrophic failures are defined as missing leads, broken packages, or lids off.
Note 4: The PIND test may be performed in any sequence after step 6 and prior to step 16. See MIL-M-38510, paragraph 4.6.3.
Note 5: Class S devices shall be serialized prior

to interim electrical parameter measurements.

Note 6: When specified, all devices shall be tested for those parameters requiring delta calculations.
Note 7: Reverse bias bum·in is a requirement only when specified in the applicable device specification. The order of performing bum·in and reverse bias bum-in
may be inverted.
Note 8: For Class S devices, Ihe seal lest may be performed in any sequence between step 16 and step 19, but il shall be performed after all shearing and forming
operations on the terminals.
Note 9: For Class B devices, Ihe fine and gross seal tests shall be performed separate or together in any sequence and order between step 6 and step 20 except
that they shall be performed after all shearing and forming operations on the terminals. When 100% seal screen cannot be performed after shearing and forming
(e.g. flatpacks and chip carriers) the seal screen shall be done 100% prior to these operations and a sample test (LTPD ~ 5) shall be performed on each
inspection lot following these operations. If the sample fails, 100% rescreening shall be required.
Note 10: The radiographic screen may be performed in any sequence after step 19.
Note 11: Samples shall be selected for testing in accordance with the specific device class and lot requirements of Method 5005
Note 12: External Visual shall be performed on the lot any time after step 19 and prior to shipment.
Note 13: Read and Record when past burn-in delta measurements are specified.

Die junction temperature
Ambient temperature in the vicinity device
Total power dissipation (in watts)
Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient

OJA, the thermal resistance from device junction-to-ambient
temperature, is measured and specified by the manufacturers of integrated circuits. National Semiconductor utilizes
special vehicles and methods to measure and monitor this
parameter. All circuit data sheets specify the thermal characteristics and capabilities of the packages available for a
given device under specific conditions-these package
power ratings directly relate to thermal resistance junctionto-ambient or 0JA'
Although National provides these thermal ratings, it is critical that the end user understand how to use these numbers
to improve thermal characteristics in the development of his
system using IC components.

DEVICE THERMAL CAPABILITIES
There are many factors which affect the thermal capability
of an integrated circuit. To understand these we need to
understand the predominant paths for heat to transfer out of
the integrated circuit package. This is illustrated by Figures
3 and 4.

DETERMINING DEVICE OPERATING
JUNCTION TEMPERATURE

The slope of the straight line between these two points is
minus the inversion of the thermal resistance. This is referred to as the derating factor.

From the above equation the method of determining actual
worst·case device operating junction temperature becomes
straightforward. Given a package thermal characteristic,
iJJA, worst-case ambient operating temperature, TA(max),
the only unknown parameter is device power dissipation,
PD. In calculating this parameter, the dissipation of the integrated circuit due to its own supply has to be considered,
the dissipation within the package due to the external load
must also be added. The power associated with the load in
a dynamic (switching) situation must also be considered.
For example, the power associated with an inductor or a
capacitor in a static versus dynamic (say, 1 MHz) condition
is significantly different.

Derating Factor

As mentioned, Figure 5 is a plot of the safe thermal operating area for a device in a 16-pin molded DIP. As long as the
intersection of a vertical line defining the maximum ambient
temperature (70°C in our previous example) and maximum
device package power (600 mW) remains below the maximum package thermal capability line the junction temperature will remain below 150°C-the limit for a molded package. If the intersection of ambient temperature and package
power fails on this line, the maximum junction temperature
will be 150°C. Any intersection that occurs above this line
will result in a junction temperature in excess of 150°C and
is not an appropriate operating condition.

The junction temperature of a device with a total package
power of 600 mW at 70°C in a package with a thermal resistance of 63°C/W is 108°C.
TJ = 70°C + (63°C/W) x (0.6W) = 108°C

National Semiconductor has adopted these industry-wide
standards. For devices fabricated in a molded package, the
maximum allowable junction temperature is 150°C. For
these devices assembled in ceramic or cavity DIP packages, the maximum allowable junction temperature is
175°C. The numbers are different because of the differences in package types. The thermal strain associated with the
die package interface in a cavity package is much less than
that exhibited in a molded package where the integrated
circuit chip is in direct contact with the package material.
Let us use this new information and our thermal equation to
construct a graph which displays the safe thermal (power)
operating area for a given package type. Figure 5 is an example of such a graph. The end points of this graph are
easily determined. For a 16-pin molded package, the maximum allowable temperature is 150°C; at this point no power
dissipation is allowable. The power capability at 25°C is
1.98W as given by the following calculation:

What is an acceptable maximum operating junction temperature is in itself somewhat of a difficult question to answer.
Many companies have established their own standards
based on corporate policy. However, the semiconductor industry has developed some defacto standards based on the
device package type. These have been well accepted as
numbers that relate to reasonable (acceptable) device lifetimes, thus failure rates.

FIGURE 5. Package Power Capability
vs Temperature
The thermal capabilities of all integrated circuits are expressed as a power capability at 25°C still air environment
with a given derating factor. This simply states, for every
degree of ambient temperature rise above 25°C, reduce the
package power capability stated by the derating factor
which is expressed in mWrC. For our example-a iJJA of
63°C/W relates to a derating factor of 15.9 mWrC.
FACTORS INFLUENCING PACKAGE
THERMAL RESISTANCE
As discussed earlier, improving any portion of the two primary thermal flow paths will result in an improvement in
overall thermal resistance junction-to-ambient. This section
discusses those components of thermal resistance that can
be influenced by the manufacturer of the integrated circuit. It
also discusses those factors in the overall thermal resistance that can be impacted by the end user of the integrated
circuit. Understanding these issues will go a long way in
understanding chip power capabilities and what can be
done to insure the best possible operating conditions and,
thus, best overall reliability.

Figure 6 shows a graph of our 16-pin DIP thermal resistance
as a function of integrated circuit die size. Clearly, as the
chip size increases the thermal resistance decreases-this
relates directly to having a larger area with which to dissipate a given power.

AirFlow
When a high power situation exists and the ambient temperature cannot be reduced, the next best thing is to provide air
flow in the vicinity of the package. The graph of Figure 9
illustrates the impact this has on thermal resistance. This
graph plots the relative reduction in thermal resistance normalized to the still air condition for our 16-pin molded DIP.
The thermal ratings on National Semiconductor's interface
circuits data sheets relate to the still air environment.

Other Factors
A number of other factors influence thermal resistance. The
most important of these is using thermal epoxy in mounting
ICs to the PC board and heat sinks. Generally these techniques are required only in the very highest of power applications.
Some confusion exists between the difference in thermal
resistance junction-to-ambient (llJAl and thermal resistance
junction-to-case (/lJcl. The best measure of actual junction
temperature is the junction-to·ambient number since nearly
all systems operate in an open air environment. The only
situation where thermal resistance junction-to-case is important is when the entire system is immersed in a thermal bath
and the environmental temperature is indeed the case temperature. This is only used in extreme cases and is the exception to the rule and, for this reason, is not addressed in
this application note.

Figure 7 shows the influence of lead frame material (both

graph compares our same 16-pin DIP with a copper lead
frame, a Kovar lead frame, and finally an Alloy 42 type lead
frame-these are lead frame materials commonly used in
the industry. Obviously the thermal conductivity of the lead
frame material has a Significant impact in package power
capability. Molded interface circuits from National Semiconductor use the copper lead frame exclusively.

FIGURE 7. Thermal Resistance vs

Board vs Socket Mount
One of the major paths of dissipating energy generated by
the integrated circuit is through the device leads. As a result
of this, the graph of Figure 8 comes as no surprise. This
compares the thermal resistance of our 16-pin package soldered into a printed circuit board (board mount) compared
to the same package placed in a socket (socket mount).
Adding a socket in the path between the PC board and the
device adds another stage in the thermal flow path, thus
increasing the overall thermal resistance. The thermal capabilities of National Semiconductor's interface circuits are
specified assuming board mount conditions. If the devices
are placed in a socket the thermal capabilities should be
reduced by approximately 5% to 10%.

Figures 10 and 11 show composite plots of the thermal
characteristics of the most common package types in the
National Semiconductor Linear Circuits product family. Figure 10 is a composite of the copper lead frame molded
package. Figure 11 is a composite of the ceramic (cavity)

mount still air thermal capabilities. Another, and final, thermal resistance trend will be noticed in these graphs. As the
number of device pins increase in a DIP the thermal resistance decreases. Referring back to the thermal flow chart,
this trend should, by now, be obvious.

sheets reflect a 15% safety margin from the average numbers found in this application note. Insuring that total package power remains under a specified level will guarantee
that the maximum junction temperature will not exceed the
package maximum.
The package power ratings are specified as a maximum
power at 25'C ambient with an associated derating factor
for ambient temperatures above 25'C. It is easy to determine the power capability at an elevated temperature. The
power specified at 25'C should be reduced by the derating
factor for every degree of ambient temperature above 25'C.
For example, in a given product data sheet the following will
be found:
Maximum Power Dissipation' at 25'C

1509 mW
Molded Package 1476 mW

RATINGS ON INTERFACE CIRCUITS DATA SHEETS
In conclusion, all National Semiconductor Linear Products
define power dissipation (thermal) capability. This information can be found in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section
of the data sheet. The thermal information shown in this
application note represents average data for characterization of the indicated package. Actual thermal resistance can
vary from ± 10% to ± 15% due to fluctuations in assembly
quality, die shape, die thickness, distribution of heat sources
on the die, etc. The numbers quoted in the linear data

• Derate cavity package at 10 mWI'C above 2S'C; derate molded package
at 11.8 mWI'C above 25'C.

If the molded package is used at a maximum ambient temperature of 70'C, the package power capability is 945 mW.

APPENDIX IF
How to Get the Right Information from a Data Sheet
Not All Data Sheets Are Created Alike, and False Assumptions Could Cost an Engineer Time and Money

By Robert A. Pease
When a new product arrives in the marketplace, it hopefully
will have a good, clear data sheet with it.

Every year, for the last 20 years, manufacturers have been
trying to explain, with varying success, why they do not mea·
sure the lin per se, even though they do guarantee it.

The data sheet can show the prospective user how to apply
the device, what performance specifications are guaranteed
and various typical applications and characteristics. If the
data·sheet writer has done a good job, the user can decide
if the product will be valuable to him, exactly how well it will
be of use to him and what precautions to take to avoid
problems.

In other cases, the manufacturer may specify a test that can
be made only on the die as it is probed on the wafer, but
cannot be tested after the die is packaged because that
signal is not accessible any longer. To avoid frustrating and
confusing the customer, some manufacturers are establish·
ing two classes of guaranteed specifications:
o The tested limit represents a test that cannot be doubt·

SPECIFICATIONS

ed, one that is actually performed directly on 100 percent
of the devices, 100 percent of the time.
o The design limit covers other tests that may be indirect,
implicit or simply guaranteed by the inherent design of
the device, and is unlikely to cause a failure rate (on that
test), even as high as one part per thousand.

The most important area of a data sheet specifies the char·
acteristics that are guaranteed-and the test conditions that
apply when the tests are done. Ideally, all specifications that
the users will need will be spelled out clearly. If the product
is similar to existing products, one can expect the data
sheet to have a format similar to other devices.

Why was this distinction made? Not just because customers
wanted to know which specifications were guaranteed by
testing, but because the quality·assurance group insisted
that it was essential to separate the tested guarantees from
the design limits so that the AQL (assurance·quality level)
could be improved from 0.1 percent to down below
100 ppm.

But, if there are significant changes and improvements that
nobody has seen before, then the writer must clarify what is
meant by each specification. Definitions of new phrases or
characteristics may even have to be added as an appendix.
For example, when fast·settling operational amplifiers were
first introduced, some manufacturers defined settling time
as the time after slewing before the output finally enters and
stays within the error·band; but other manufacturers includ·
ed the slewing time in their definition. Because both groups
made their definitions clear, the user was unlikely to be con·
fused or misled.

Some data sheets guarantee characteristics that are quite
expensive and difficult to test (even harder than noise) such
as long·term drift (20 ppm or 50 ppm over 1,000 hours).
The data sheet may not tell the reader if it is measured,
tested or estimated. One manufacturer may perform a 100·
percent test, while another states, "Guaranteed by sample
testing." This is not a very comforting assurance that a part
is good, especially in a critical case where only a long·term
test can prove if the device did meet the manufacturer's
specification. If in doubt, question the manufacturer.

However, the reader ought to be on the alert. In a few cas·
es, the data·sheet writer is playing a specsmanship game,
and is trying to show an inferior (to some users) aspect of a
product in a light that makes it look superior (which it may
be, to a couple of users).
GUARANTEES

TYPICALS

When a data sheet specifies a guaranteed minimum value,
what does it mean? An assumption might be made that the
manufacturer has actually tested that specification and has
great confidence that no part could fail that test and still be
shipped. Yet that is not always the case.

Next to a guaranteed specification, there is likely to be an·
other in a column labeled "typical".
It might mean that the manufacturer once actually saw one
part as good as that. It could indicate that half the parts are
better than that specification, and half will be worse. But it is
equally likely to mean that, five years ago, half the parts
were better and half worse. It could easily signify that a few
parts might be slightly better, and a few parts a lot worse;
after all, if the noise of an amplifier is extremely close to the
theoretical limit, one cannot expect to find anything much
better than that, but there will always be a few noisy ones.

For instance, in the early days of op amps (20 years ago),
the differential·input impedance might have been guaranteed at 1 MO.-but the manufacturer obviously did not mea·
sure the impedance. When a customer insisted, "I have to
know how you measure this impedance," it had to be ex·
plained that the impedance was not measured, but that the
base current was. The correlation between Ib and lin per·
mitted the substitution of this simple dc test for a rather
messy, noisy, hard·to·interpret test.

If the specification of interest happens to be the bias current
(Ib) of an op amp, a user can expect broad variations. For
example, if the specification is 200 nA maximum, there
might be many parts where Ib is 40 nA on one batch (where
the beta is high), and a month later, many parts where the Ib
is 140 nA when the beta is low.

r--------------------------------------------------------------------,~

Another example is the application hint for the LF156 family:

A Point-Sy-Point Look

"Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input
will cause a reversal of the phase to output and force the
amplifier output to the corresponding high or low state. Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on both inputs will
force the amplifier output to a high state. In neither case
does a latch occur, since raising the input back within the
common-mode range again puts the input stage and, thus
the amplifier, in a normal operating mode."

Let's look a little more closely at the data sheet of the National Semiconductor LM34, which happens to be a temperature sensor.
Note 1 lists the nominal test conditions and test circuits in
which all the characteristics are defined. Some additional
test conditions are listed in the column "Conditions", but
Note 1 helps minimize the clutter.
Note 2 gives the thermal impedance, (which may also be
shown in a chart or table).

That's the kind of information a manufacturer should really
give to a data-sheet reader because no one could ever
guess it.
Sometimes, a writer slips a quirk into a characteristic curve,
but it's wiser to draw attention to it with a line of text. This is
because it's better to make the user sad before one gets
started, rather than when one goes into production. Conversely, if a user is going to spend more than 10 minutes
using a new product, one ought to spend a full five minutes
reading the entire data sheet.

Note 3 warns that an output impedance test, if done with a
long pulse, could cause significant self-heating and thus,
error.
Note 6 is intended to show which specs apply at all rated
temperatures.
Note 7 is the definition of the "Accuracy" spec, and Note 8
the definition for non-linearity. Note 9 states in what test
circuit the quiescent current is defined. Note 10 indicates
that one model of the family may not be available at the time
of printing (but happens to be available now), and Note 11 is
the definition of Absolute Max Ratings.
• Note-the "4 seconds" soldering time is a new standard
for plastic packages.
•• Note-the wording of Note 11 has been revised-this is
the best wording we can devise, and we will use it on all
future datasheets.

FINE PRINT
What other fine print can be found on a data sheet? Sometimes the front page may be marked "advance" or "preliminary." Then on the back page, the fine print may say something such as:
"This data sheet contains preliminary limits and design
specifications. Supplemental information will be published
at a later date. The manufacturer reserves the right to make
changes in the products contained in this document in order
to improve design or performance and to supply the best
possible products. We also assume no responsibility for the
use of any circuits described herein, convey no license under any patent or other right and make no representation
that the circuits are free from patent infringement."

APPLICATIONS
Another important part of the data sheet is the applications
section. It indicates the novel and conventional ways to use
a device. Sometimes these applications are just little ideas
to tweak a reader's mind. After looking at a couple of applications, one can invent other ideas that are useful. Some
applications may be of no real interest or use.
In other cases, an application circuit may be the complete
definition of the system's performance; it can be the test
circuit in which the specification limits are defined, tested
and guaranteed. But, in all other instances, the performance
of a typical application circuit is not guaranteed, it is only
typical. In many circumstances, the performance may depend on external components and their precision and
matching. Some manufacturers have added a phrase to
their data sheets:
"Applications for any circuits contained in this document are
for illustration purposes only and the manufacturer makes
no representation or warranty that such applications will be
suitable for the use indicated without further testing or modification."
In the future, manufacturers may find it necessary to add
disclaimers of this kind to avoid disappointing users with
circuits that work well, much of the time, but cannot be easily guaranteed.
The applications section is also a good place to look for
advice on quirks-potential drawbacks or little details that
may not be so little when a user wants to know if a device
will actually deliver the expected performance.
For example, if a buffer can drive heavy loads and can handle fast Signals cleanly (at no load), the maker isn't dOing
anybody any favors if there is no mention that the distortion
goes sky-high if the rated load is applied.

In fact, after a device is released to the marketplace in a
preliminary status, the engineers love to make small improvements and upgrades in specifications and characteristics, and hate to degrade a specification from its first published value-but occasionally that is necessary.
Another item in the fine print is the manufacturer's telephone number. Usually it is best to refer questions to the
local sales representative or field-applications engineer, because they may know the answer or they may be best able
to put a questioner in touch with the right person at the
factory.
Occasionally, the factory's applications engineers have all
the information. Other times, they have to bring in product
engineers, test engineers or marketing people. And sometimes the answer can't be generated quickly-data have to
be gathered, opinions solidified or policies formulated before the manufacturer can answer the question. Still, the
telephone number is the key to getting the factory to help.

ORIGINS OF DATA SHEETS
Of course, historically, most data sheets for a class of products have been closely modeled on the data sheet of the
forerunner of that class. The first data sheet was copied to
make new versions.
That's the way it happened with the UA709 (the first monolithic op amp) and all its copies, as well as many other similar families of circuits.

Even today, an attempt is made to build on the good things
learned from the past and add a few improvements when
necessary. But, it's important to have real improvements,
not just change for the sake of change.

WHEN TO WRITE DATA SHEETS

A new product becomes available. The applications engi·
neers start evaluating their application circuits and the test
engineers examine their production test equipment.

So, while it's not easy to get the format and everything in it
exactly right to please everybody, new data sheets are con·
tinually surfacing with new features, applications ideas,
specifications and aids for the user. And, if the users com·
plain loudly enough about misleading or inadequate data
sheets, they can help lead the way to change data sheets.
That's how many of today's improvements came aboutthrough customer demand.

But how can the users evaluate the new device? They have
to have a data sheet-which is still in the process of being
written. Every week, as the data sheet writer tries to polish
and refine the incipient data sheet, other engineers are re·
porting, "These spec limits and conditions have to be re·
vised," and, "Those application circuits don't work like we
thought they would; we'll have one running in a couple of
days." The marketing people insist that the data sheet must
be finalized and frozen right away so that they can start
printing copies to go out with evaluation samples.
These trying conditions may explain why data sheets always
seem to have been thrown together under panic conditions
and why they have so many rough spots. Users should be
aware of the conflicting requirements: Getting a data sheet
"as completely as possible" and "as accurately as possi·
ble" is compromised if one wants to get the data sheet "as
quickly as possible."
The reader should always question the manufacturer. What
are the alternatives? By not asking the right question, a mis·
understanding could arise; getting angry with the manufac·
turer is not to anyone's advantage.

Who writes data sheets? In some cases, a marketing per·
son does the actual writing and engineers do the checking.
In other companies, the engineer writes, while marketing
people and other engineers check. Sometimes, a commit·
tee seems to be doing the writing. None of these ways is
necessarily wrong.
For example, one approach might be: The original designer
of the product writes the data sheet (inside his head) at the
same time the product is designed. The concept here is, if
one can't find the proper ingredients for a data sheet-good
applications, convenient features for the user and nicely
tested specifications as the part is being designed-then
maybe it's not a very good product until all those ingredients
are completed. Thus, the collection of raw materials for a
good data sheet is an integral part of the design of a prod·
uct. The actual assembly of these materials is an art which
can take place later.

Robert Pease has been staff scientist at National Semicon·
ductor Corp., Santa Clara, Calif., for eleven years. He has
designed numerous op amps, data converters, voltage reg·
ulators and analog·circuit functions.
