DescripTion
180MHz, 1mA Power
Efficient Rail-to-Rail
I/O Op Amps
The LTC
®
6246/LTC6247/LTC6248 are single/dual/quad low
power, high speed unity gain stable rail-to-rail input/output
operational amplifiers. On only 1mA of supply current they
feature an impressive 180MHz gain-bandwidth product,
90V/µs slew rate and a low 4.2nV/√Hz of input-referred
noise. The combination of high bandwidth, high slew rate,
low power consumption and low broadband noise makes
these amplifiers unique among rail-to-rail input/output op
amps with similar supply currents. They are ideal for lower
supply voltage high speed signal conditioning systems.
The LTC6246 family maintains high efficiency performance
from supply voltage levels of 2.5V to 5.25V and is fully
specified at supplies of 2.7V and 5.0V.
For applications that require power-down, the LTC6246
and the LTC6247 in MS10 offer a shutdown pin which
disables the amplifier and reduces current consumption
to 42µA.
The LTC6246 family can be used as a plug-in replacement
for many commercially available op amps to reduce power
or to improve input/output range and performance.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The inputs are protected by back-to-back diodes. If any of
the input or shutdown pins goes 300mV beyond either supply or the
differential input voltage exceeds 1.4V the input current should be limited
to less than 10mA. This parameter is guaranteed to meet specified
performance through design and/or characterization. It is not production
tested.
Note 3: A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature
below the absolute maximum rating when the output current is high.
Note 4: The LTC6246C/LTC6247C/LTC6248C and LTC6246I/LTC6247I/
LTC6248I are guaranteed functional over the temperature range of –40°C
to 85°C. The LTC6246H/LTC6247H/LTC6248H are guaranteed functional
over the temperature range of –40°C to 125°C.
Note 5: The LTC6246C/LTC6247C/LTC6248C are guaranteed to meet
specified performance from 0°C to 70°C. The LTC6246C/LTC6247C/
LTC6248C are designed, characterized and expected to meet specified
performance from –40°C to 85°C but are not tested or QA sampled at
these temperatures. The LTC6246I/LTC6247I/LTC6248I are guaranteed
to meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C. The LTC6246H/
LTC6247H/LTC6248H are guaranteed to meet specified performance from
–40°C to 125°C.
Note 6: Minimum supply voltage is guaranteed by power supply rejection
ratio test.
Note 7: The input bias current is the average of the average of the currents
through the positive and negative input pins.
Note 8: Matching parameters are the difference between amplifiers A and
D and between B and C on the LTC6248; between the two amplifiers on the
LTC6247.
Note 9: Thermal resistance varies with the amount of PC board metal
connected to the package. The specified values are with short traces
connected to the leads with minimal metal area.
Note 10: The output voltage is varied from 0.5V to 4.5V during
measurement.
Note 11: Middle 80% of the output waveform is observed. RL = 1k at half
supply.
Note 12: The output voltage is varied from 0.5V to 2.2V during
measurement.
Note 13: FPBW is determined from distortion performance in a gain of +2
configuration with HD2, HD3 < –40dBc as the criteria for a valid output.
Note 14: Differential gain and phase are measured using a Tektronix
TSG120YC/NTSC signal generator and a Tektronix 1780R video
measurement set.

Circuit Description
The LTC6246/LTC6247/LTC6248 have an input and output
signal range that extends from the negative power supply
to the positive power supply. Figure 1 depicts a simplified
schematic of the amplifier. The input stage is comprised
of two differential amplifiers, a PNP stage, Q1/Q2, and an
NPN stage, Q3/Q4 that are active over different common
mode input voltages. The PNP stage is active between
the negative supply to nominally 1.2V below the positive
supply. As the input voltage approaches the positive sup-
ply, the transistor Q5 will steer the tail current, I1, to the
current mirror, Q6/Q7, activating the NPN differential pair
and the PNP pair becomes inactive for the remaining input
common mode range. Also, at the input stage, devices Q17
to Q19 act to cancel the bias current of the PNP input pair.
When Q1/Q2 are active, the current in Q16 is controlled to
be the same as the current in Q1 and Q2. Thus, the base
current of Q16 is nominally equal to the base current of
the input devices. The base current of Q16 is then mirrored
by devices Q17 to Q19 to cancel the base current of the
input devices Q1/Q2. A pair of complementary common
emitter stages, Q14/Q15, enable the output to swing from
rail-to-rail.

Input Offset Voltage
The offset voltage will change depending upon which
input stage is active. The PNP input stage is active from
the negative supply rail to approximately 1.2V below the
positive supply rail, then the NPN input stage is activated
for the remaining input range up to the positive supply rail
with the PNP stage inactive. The offset voltage magnitude
for the PNP input stage is trimmed to less than 500µV with
5V total supply at room temperature, and is typically less
than 150μV. The offset voltage for the NPN input stage
is typically less than 1.7mV with 5V total supply at room
temperature.
Input Bias Current
The LTC6246 family uses a bias current cancellation cir-
cuit to compensate for the base current of the PNP input
pair. When the input common mode voltage is less than
200mV, the bias cancellation circuit is no longer effective
and the input bias current magnitude can reach a value
above 1µA. For common mode voltages ranging from
0.2V above the negative supply to 1.2V below the positive
supply, the low input bias current of the LTC6246 family
allows the amplifiers to be used in applications with high
source resistances where errors due to voltage drops
must be minimized.
Output
The LTC6246 family has excellent output drive capability.
The amplifiers can typically deliver over 50mA of output
drive current at a total supply of 5V. The maximum out-
put current is a function of the total supply voltage. As
the supply voltage to the amplifier decreases, the output
current capability also decreases. Attention must be paid
to keep the junction temperature of the IC below 150°C
(refer to the Power Dissipation Section) when the output
is in continuous short circuit. The output of the amplifier
has reverse-biased diodes connected to each supply. If
the output is forced beyond either supply, extremely high
current will flow through these diodes which can result
in damage to the device. Forcing the output to even 1V
beyond either supply could result in several hundred mil-
liamps of current through either diode.
Input Protection
The input stages are protected against a large differential
input voltage of 1.4V or higher by 2 pairs of back-to-back
diodes to prevent the emitter-base breakdown of the input
transistors. In addition, the input and shutdown pins have
reverse biased diodes connected to the supplies. The cur-
rent in these diodes must be limited to less than 10mA.
The amplifiers should not be used as comparators or in
other open loop applications.
ESD
The LTC6246 family has reverse-biased ESD protection
diodes on all inputs and outputs as shown in Figure 1.
There is an additional clamp between the positive and nega-
tive supplies that further protects the device during ESD
strikes. Hot plugging of the device into a powered socket
must be avoided since this can trigger the clamp resulting
in larger currents flowing between the supply pins.
Capacitive Loads
The LTC6246/LTC6247/LTC6248 are optimized for high
bandwidth and low power applications. Consequently they
have not been designed to directly drive large capacitive
loads. Increased capacitance at the output creates an ad-
ditional pole in the open loop frequency response, wors-
ening the phase margin. When driving capacitive loads, a
resistor of 10Ω to 100Ω should be connected between the
amplifier output and the capacitive load to avoid ringing
or oscillation. The feedback should be taken directly from
the amplifier output. Higher voltage gain configurations
tend to have better capacitive drive capability than lower
gain configurations due to lower closed loop bandwidth
and hence higher phase margin. The graphs titled Series
Output Resistor vs Capacitive Load demonstrate the tran-
sient response of the amplifier when driving capacitive
loads with various series resistors.

Figure 2. 5pF Feedback Cancels Parasitic Pole
Feedback Components
When feedback resistors are used to set up gain, care
must be taken to ensure that the pole formed by the
feedback resistors and the parasitic capacitance at the
inverting input does not degrade stability. For example if
the amplifier is set up in a gain of +2 configuration with
gain and feedback resistors of 5k, a parasitic capacitance
of 5pF (device + PC board) at the amplifier’s inverting
input will cause the part to oscillate, due to a pole formed
at 12.7MHz. An additional capacitor of 5pF across the
feedback resistor as shown in Figure 2 will eliminate any
ringing or oscillation. In general, if the resistive feedback
network results in a pole whose frequency lies within the
closed loop bandwidth of the amplifier, a capacitor can be
added in parallel with the feedback resistor to introduce
a zero whose frequency is close to the frequency of the
pole, improving stability.

Power Dissipation
The LTC6246 and LTC6247 contain one and two amplifiers
respectively. Hence the maximum on-chip power dis-
sipation for them will be less than the maximum on-chip
power dissipation for the LTC6248, which contains four
amplifiers.
The LTC6248 is housed in a small 16-lead MS package and
typically has a thermal resistance (θJA) of 125°C/ W. It is
necessary to ensure that the die’s junction temperature
does not exceed 150°C. The junction temperature, TJ, is
calculated from the ambient temperature, TA, power dis-
sipation, PD, and thermal resistance, θJA:
TJ = TA + (PD • θJA)
The power dissipation in the IC is a function of the supply
voltage, output voltage and load resistance. For a given
supply voltage with output connected to ground or supply,
the worst-case power dissipation PD(MAX) occurs when
the supply current is maximum and the output voltage at
half of either supply voltage for a given load resistance.
PD(MAX) is approximately (since IS actually changes with
output load current) given by:
P
D(MAX) =(VS•IS(MAX))+VS
2
2
/ RL
Example: For an LTC6248 in a 16-lead MS package operating
on ±2.5V supplies and driving a 100Ω load to ground, the
worst-case power dissipation is approximately given by
PD(MAX)/Amp = (5 • 1.3mA) + (1.25)2/100 = 22mW
If all four amplifiers are loaded simultaneously then the
total power dissipation is 88mW.
At the Absolute Maximum ambient operating temperature,
the junction temperature under these conditions will be:
TJ = TA + PD • 125°C/W
= 125 + (0.088W • 125°C/W) = 136°C
which is less than the absolute maximum junction tem-
perature for the LTC6248 (150°C).
Refer to the Pin Configuration section for thermal resis-
tances of various packages.
Shutdown
The LTC6246 and LTC6247MS have SHDN pins that can
shut down the amplifier to 42µA typical supply current.
The SHDN pin needs to be taken below 0.8V above the
negative supply for the amplifier to shut down. When left
floating, the SHDN pin is internally pulled up to the positive
supply and the amplifier remains on.

12-Bit ADC Driver
Figure 3 shows the LTC6246 driving an LTC2366 12-bit A/D
converter. The low wideband noise of the LTC6246 main-
tains a 70dB SNR even without the use of an intermediate
antialiasing RC filter. On a single 3.3V supply with a 2.5V
reference, a full –1dBFS output can be obtained without
the amplifier transitioning between input regions, thus
minimizing crossover distortion. Figure 4 shows an FFT
obtained with a sampling rate of 2.2Msps and a 350kHz
input waveform. Spurious free dynamic range is a quite
handsome 82dB.

Low Noise Low Power DC-Accurate Single Supply
Photodiode Amplifier
Figure 5 shows the LTC6246 applied as a low power high
performance transimpedance amplifier for a photodiode.
A low noise JFET Q1 acts as a current buffer, with R2 and
R3 imposing a low frequency gain of approximately 1.
Transimpedance gain is set by feedback resistor R1 to
1MΩ. R4 and R5 set the LTC6246 inputs at 1V below
the 3V rail, with C3 reducing their noise contribution.
By feedback this 1V also appears across R2, setting the
JFET quiescent current at 1mA completely independent
of its pinchoff voltage and IDSS characteristics. It does
this by placing the JFETs 1mA VGS at the gate referenced
to the source, which is sitting 1V above ground. For this
JFET, that will typically be about 500mV, and this voltage
is imposed as a reverse voltage on the photodiode PD1.
At zero IPD photocurrent, the output sits at the same volt-
age and rises as photocurrent increases. As mentioned
before, R2 and R3 set the JFET gain to 1 at low frequency.

This is not the lowest noise configuration for a transistor, as
downstream noise sources appear at the input completely
unattenuated. At low frequency, this is not a concern for a
transimpedance amplifier because the noise gain is 1 and
the output noise is dominated by the 130nV/√Hz of the 1MΩ
R1. However, at increasing frequencies the capacitance
of the photodiode comes into play and the circuit noise
gain rises as the 1MΩ feedback looks back into lower and
lower impedance. But capacitor C2 comes to the rescue.
In addition to the obvious quenching of noise source R3,
capacitor C2 increases the JFET gain to about 30 at high
frequency effectively attenuating the downstream noise
contributions of R2 and the op amp input noise. Thus the
circuit achieves low input voltage noise at high frequency
where it is most needed. Amplifier LT6003 is used to
buffer the output voltage of the photodiode and R7 and
C4 are used to filter out the voltage noise of the LT6003.
Bandwidth to 700kHz was achieved with this circuit, with
integrated output noise being 160µVRMS up to 1MHz. Total
supply current was a very low 2.2mA.
Typical applicaTions
60dB 5.5MHz Gain Block
Figure 6 shows the LTC6247 configured as a low power
high gain high bandwidth block. Two amplifiers each
configured with a gain of 31V/V, are cascaded in series. A
660nF capacitor is used to limit the DC gain of the block
to around 30dB to minimize output offset voltage. Figure 7
shows the frequency response of the block. Mid-band
voltage gain is approximately 60dB with a –3dB frequency
of 5.5MHz, thus resulting in a gain-bandwidth product of
5.5GHz with only 1.9mA of quiescent supply current.
Single 2.7V Supply 4MHz 4th Order Butterworth Filter
Benefitting from low voltage operation and rail-to-rail
output, a low power filter that is suitable for antialiasing
can be built as shown in Figure 8. On a 2.7V supply the
filter has a passband of approximately 4MHz with 2VP-P
input signal and a stopband attenuation that is greater than
–75dB at 43MHz as shown in Figure 9. The resistor and
capacitor values can be scaled to reduce noise at the cost
of large signal power consumption and distortion.
