DESCRIPTION
The LMP2234 is a quad micropower precision
amplifier designed for battery powered applications.
The 1.6 to 5.5V operating supply voltage range and
quiescent power consumption of only 50 μW extend
the battery life in portable systems. The LMP2234 is
part of the LMP™ precision amplifier family. The high
impedance CMOS input makes it ideal for
instrumentation
and
other
sensor
interface
applications.
The LMP2234 has a maximum offset voltage of 150
μV and 0.3 μV/°C offset drift along with low bias
current of only ±20 fA. These precise specifications
make the LMP2234 a great choice for maintaining
system accuracy and long term stability.
The LMP2234 has a rail-to-rail output that swings 15
mV from the supply voltage, which increases system
dynamic range. The common mode input voltage
range extends 200 mV below the negative supply,
thus the LMP2234 is ideal for ground sensing in
single supply applications.
The LMP2234 is offered in 14-Pin SOIC and TSSOP
packages.

Electrical Table values apply only for factory testing conditions at the temperature indicated. Factory testing conditions result in very
limited self-heating of the device such that TJ = TA. No ensured specification of parametric performance is indicated in the electrical
tables under conditions of internal self-heating where TJ > TA. Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate junction temperature limits beyond
which the device may be permanently degraded, either mechanically or electrically.
All limits are specified by testing, statistical analysis or design.
Typical values represent the most likely parametric norm as determined at the time of characterization. Actual typical values may vary
over time and will also depend on the application and configuration. The typical values are not tested and are not ensured on shipped
production material.
The short circuit test is a momentary open loop test.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
LMP2234
The LMP2234 is a quad CMOS precision amplifier that offers low offset voltage, low offset voltage drift, and high
gain while consuming less than 10 μA of supply current per channel.
The LMP2234 is a micropower op amp, consuming only 36 μA of current. Micropower op amps extend the run
time of battery powered systems and reduce energy consumption in energy limited systems. The ensured supply
voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V along with the ultra-low supply current extend the battery run time in two ways. The
extended power supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V enables the op amp to function when the battery voltage
has depleted from its nominal value down to 1.8V. In addition, the lower power consumption increases the life of
the battery.
The LMP2234 has input referred offset voltage of only ±150 μV maximum at room temperature. This offset is
ensured to be less than ±230 μV over temperature. This minimal offset voltage along with very low TCVOS of only
0.3 µV/°C typical allows more accurate signal detection and amplification in precision applications.
The low input bias current of only ±20 fA gives the LMP2234 superiority for use in high impedance sensor
applications. Bias current of an amplifier flows through source resistance of the sensor and the voltage resulting
from this current flow appears as a noise voltage on the input of the amplifier. The low input bias current enables
the LMP2234 to interface with high impedance sensors while generating negligible voltage noise. Thus the
LMP2234 provides better signal fidelity and a higher signal-to-noise ratio when interfacing with high impedance
sensors.
Texas Instruments is heavily committed to precision amplifiers and the market segments they serve. Technical
support and extensive characterization data is available for sensitive applications or applications with a
constrained error budget.
The operating voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V over the extensive temperature range of −40°C to 125°C makes the
LMP2234 an excellent choice for low voltage precision applications with extensive temperature requirements.
The LMP2234 is offered in the 14-pin TSSOP and 14-pin SOIC package. These small packages are ideal
solutions for area constrained PC boards and portable electronics.
TOTAL NOISE CONTRIBUTION
The LMP2234 has very low input bias current, very low input current noise, and low input voltage noise for
micropower amplifiers. As a result, this amplifier makes a great choice for circuits with high impedance sensor
applications.
shows the typical input noise of the LMP2234 as a function of source resistance at f = 1 kHz where:
• en denotes the input referred voltage noise
• ei is the voltage drop across source resistance due to input referred current noise or ei = RS* in
• et shows the thermal noise of the source resistance
• eni shows the total noise on the input.
Where:
eni =
2
2
2
en + ei + et
(1)
The input current noise of the LMP2234 is so low that it will not become the dominant factor in the total noise
unless source resistance exceeds 300 MΩ, which is an unrealistically high value. As is evident in Figure 47, at
lower RS values, total noise is dominated by the amplifier’s input voltage noise. Once RS is larger than 100 kΩ,
then the dominant noise factor becomes the thermal noise of RS. As mentioned before, the current noise will not
be the dominant noise factor for any practical application.

VOLTAGE NOISE REDUCTION
The LMP2234 has an input voltage noise of 60 nV/√Hz . While this value is very low for micropower amplifiers,
this input voltage noise can be further reduced by placing multiple amplifiers in parallel as shown in Figure 48.
The total voltage noise on the output of this circuit is divided by the square root of the number of amplifiers used
in this parallel combination. This is because each individual amplifier acts as an independent noise source, and
the average noise of independent sources is the quadrature sum of the independent sources divided by the
number of sources. For N identical amplifiers, this means:

PRECISION INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER
Measurement of very small signals with an amplifier requires close attention to the input impedance of the
amplifier, the gain of the signal on the inputs, and the gain on each input of the amplifier. This is because the
difference of the input signal on the two inputs is of interest and the common signal is considered noise. A
classic circuit implementation that is used is an instrumentation amplifier. Instrumentation amplifiers have a finite,
accurate, and stable gain. They also have extremely high input impedances and very low output impedances.
Finally they have an extremely high CMRR so that the amplifier can only respond to the differential signal. A
typical instrumentation amplifier is shown in Figure 49.

There are two stages in this amplifier. The last stage, the output stage, is a differential amplifier. In an ideal case
the two amplifiers of the first stage, the input stage, would be configured as buffers to isolate the inputs. However
they cannot be connected as followers because of mismatch in amplifiers. That is why there is a balancing
resistor between the two. The product of the two stages of gain will give the gain of the instrumentation amplifier.
Ideally, the CMRR should be infinite. However the output stage has a small non-zero common mode gain which
results from resistor mismatch.
In the input stage of the circuit, current is the same across all resistors. This is due to the high input impedance
and low input bias current of the LMP2234.

By Ohm’s Law:
VO1 - VO2 = (2R1 + R11) IR
11
= (2a + 1) R11 x IR

= (2a + 1) V R

(4)
However:
VR
11 = V1 - V2
(5)
So we have:
VO1–VO2 = (2a+1)(V1–V2)
(6)
Now looking at the output of the instrumentation amplifier:

VO =
R2
(VO2 - VO1)
= -K (VO1 - VO2)
(7)
Substituting from Equation 6:
VO = -K (2a + 1) (V1 - V2)
(8)
This shows the gain of the instrumentation amplifier to be:
−K(2a+1)
(9)
Typical values for this circuit can be obtained by setting: a = 12 and K = 4. This results in an overall gain of −100.
SINGLE SUPPLY STRAIN GAUGE BRIDGE AMPLIFIER
Strain gauges are popular electrical elements used to measure force or pressure. Strain gauges are subjected to
an unknown force which is measured as the deflection on a previously calibrated scale. Pressure is often
measured using the same technique; however this pressure needs to be converted into force using an
appropriate transducer. Strain gauges are often resistors which are sensitive to pressure or to flexing. Sense
resistor values range from tens of ohms to several hundred kilo-ohms. The resistance change which is a result of
applied force across the strain gauge might be 1% of its total value. An accurate and reliable system is needed
to measure this small resistance change. Bridge configurations offer a reliable method for this measurement.
Bridge sensors are formed of four resistors, connected as a quadrilateral. A voltage source or a current source is
used across one of the diagonals to excite the bridge while a voltage detector across the other diagonal
measures the output voltage.
Bridges are mainly used as null circuits or to measure differential voltages. Bridges will have no output voltage if
the ratios of two adjacent resistor values are equal. This fact is used in null circuit measurements. These are
particularly used in feedback systems which involve electrochemical elements or human interfaces. Null systems
force an active resistor, such as a strain gauge, to balance the bridge by influencing the measured parameter.

Often in sensor applications at lease one of the resistors is a variable resistor, or a sensor. The deviation of this
active element from its initial value is measured as an indication of change in the measured quantity. A change in
output voltage represents the sensor value change. Since the sensor value change is often very small, the
resulting output voltage is very small in magnitude as well. This requires an extensive and very precise
amplification circuitry so that signal fidelity does not change after amplification.
Sensitivity of a bridge is the ratio of its maximum expected output change to the excitation voltage change.
Figure 50(a) shows a typical bridge sensor and Figure 50(b) shows the bridge with four sensors. R in
Figure 50(b) is the nominal value of the sense resistor and the deviations from R are proportional to the quantity
being measured.

Figure 50. Bridge Sensor
Instrumentation amplifiers are great for interfacing with bridge sensors. Bridge sensors often sense a very small
differential signal in the presence of a larger common mode voltage. Instrumentation amplifiers reject this
common mode signal.
Figure 51 shows a strain gauge bridge amplifier. In this application one of the LMP2234 amplifiers is used to
buffer the LM4140A's precision output voltage. The LM4140A is a precision voltage reference. The other three
amplifiers in the LMP2234 are used to form an instrumentation amplifier. This instrumentation amplifier uses the
LMP2234's high CMRR and low VOS and TCVOS to accurately amplify the small differential signal generated by
the output of the bridge sensor. This amplified signal is then fed into the ADC121S021 which is a 12-bit analog to
digital converter. This circuit works on a single supply voltage of 5V.

PORTABLE GAS DETECTION SENSOR
Gas sensors are used in many different industrial and medical applications. They generate a current which is
proportional to the percentage of a particular gas sensed in an air sample. This current goes through a load
resistor and the resulting voltage drop is measured. Depending on the sensed gas and sensitivity of the sensor,
the output current can be in the order of tens of microamperes to a few milliamperes. Gas sensor datasheets
often specify a recommended load resistor value or they suggest a range of load resistors to choose from.
Oxygen sensors are used when air quality or oxygen delivered to a patient needs to be monitored. Fresh air
contains 20.9% oxygen. Air samples containing less than 18% oxygen are considered dangerous. Oxygen
sensors are also used in industrial applications where the environment must lack oxygen. An example is when
food is vacuum packed. There are two main categories of oxygen sensors, those which sense oxygen when it is
abundantly present (i.e. in air or near an oxygen tank) and those which detect very small traces of oxygen in
ppm.
Figure 52 shows a typical circuit used to amplify the output signal of an oxygen detector. The LMP2234 makes
an excellent choice for this application as it draws only 36 µA of current and operates on supply voltages down to
1.8V. This application detects oxygen in air. The oxygen sensor outputs a known current through the load
resistor. This value changes with the amount of oxygen present in the air sample. Oxygen sensors usually
recommend a particular load resistor value or specify a range of acceptable values for the load resistor. Oxygen
sensors typically have a life of one to two years. The use of the micropower LMP2234 means minimal power
usage by the op amp and it enhances the battery life. Depending on other components present in the circuit
design, the battery could last for the entire life of the oxygen sensor. The precision specifications of the
LMP2234, such as its very low offset voltage, low TCVOS, low input bias current, low CMRR, and low PSRR are
other factors which make the LMP2234 a great choice for this application.
