LMV791/LMV792
17 MHz, Low Noise, CMOS Input, 1.8V Operational
Amplifiers with Shutdown
General Description
Features
The LMV791 (Single) and the LMV792 (Dual) low noise,
CMOS input operational amplifiers offer a low input voltage
while consuming only 1.15 mA
noise density of 5.8 nV/
(LMV791) of quiescent current. The LMV791 and LMV792 are
unity gain stable op amps and have gain bandwidth of 17
MHz. The LMV791/ LMV792 have a supply voltage range of
1.8V to 5.5V and can operate from a single supply. The
LMV791/LMV792 each feature a rail-to-rail output stage capable of driving a 600Ω load and sourcing as much as 60 mA
of current.
The LMV791 family provides optimal performance in low voltage and low noise systems. A CMOS input stage, with typical
input bias currents in the range of a few femtoAmperes, and
an input common mode voltage range which includes ground
make the LMV791 and the LMV792 ideal for low power sensor
applications. The LMV791 family has a built-in enable feature
which can be used to optimize power dissipation in low power
applications.
The LMV791/LMV792 are manufactured using National’s advanced VIP50 process and are offered in a 6-pin TSOT23 and
a 10-pin MSOP package respectively.

LMV791/LMV792
Small Size
The small footprint of the LMV791 and the LMV792 package
saves space on printed circuit boards, and enables the design
of smaller electronic products, such as cellular phones,
pagers, or other portable systems. Long traces between the
signal source and the opamp make the signal path susceptible to noise. By using a physically smaller LMV791 and
LMV792 package, the opamp can be placed closer to the signal source, reducing noise pickup and increasing signal integrity.
Application Information
ADVANTAGES OF THE LMV791/LMV792
Wide Bandwidth at Low Supply Current
The LMV791 and LMV792 are high performance op amps that
provide a unity gain bandwidth of 17 MHz while drawing a low
supply current of 1.15 mA. This makes them ideal for providing wideband amplification in portable applications. The enable and shutdown feature can also be used to design more
power efficient systems that offer wide bandwidth and high
performance while consuming less average power.
CAPACITIVE LOAD TOLERANCE
The LMV791 and LMV792 can directly drive 120 pF in unitygain without oscillation. The unity-gain follower is the most
sensitive configuration to capacitive loading. Direct capacitive
loading reduces the phase margin of amplifiers. The combination of the amplifier’s output impedance and the capacitive
load induces phase lag. This results in either an underdamped pulse response or oscillation. To drive a heavier
capacitive load, the circuit in Figure 1 can be used.
In Figure 1, the isolation resistor RISO and the load capacitor
CL form a pole to increase stability by adding more phase
margin to the overall system. The desired performance depends on the value of RISO. The bigger the RISO resistor value,
the more stable VOUT will be. Increased RISO would, however,
result in a reduced output swing and short circuit current.
Low Input Referred Noise and Low Input Bias Current
The LMV791/LMV792 have a very low input referred voltage
at 1 kHz). A CMOS input stage ennoise density (5.8 nV/
sures a small input bias current (100 fA) and low input referred
). This is very helpful in maintaincurrent noise (0.01 pA/
ing signal fidelity, and makes the LMV791 and LMV792 ideal
for audio and sensor based applications.
Low Supply Voltage
The LMV791 and the LMV792 have performance guaranteed
at 2.5V and 5V supply. The LMV791 family is guaranteed to
be operational at all supply voltages between 2.0V and 5.5V,
for ambient temperatures ranging from −40°C to 125°C, thus
utilizing the entire battery lifetime. The LMV791 and LMV792
are also guaranteed to be operational at 1.8V supply voltage,
for temperatures between 0°C and 125°C. This makes the
LMV791 family ideal for usage in low-voltage commercial applications.
RRO and Ground Sensing
Rail-to-rail output swing provides maximum possible dynamic
range at the output. This is particularly important when operating at low supply voltages. An innovative positive feedback
scheme is used to boost the current drive capability of the
output stage. This allows the LMV791 and the LMV792 to
source more than 40 mA of current at 1.8V supply. This also
limits the performance of the LMV791 family as comparators,
and hence the usage of the LMV791 and the LMV792 in an
open-loop configuration is not recommended. The input common-mode range includes the negative supply rail which
allows direct sensing at ground in single supply operation.
20116861
FIGURE 1. Isolation of CL to Improve Stability
INPUT CAPACITANCE AND FEEDBACK CIRCUIT
ELEMENTS
The LMV791 family has a very low input bias current (100 fA)
and a low 1/f noise corner frequency (400 Hz), which makes
it ideal for sensor applications. However, to obtain this performance a large CMOS input stage is used, which adds to
the input capacitance of the op-amp, CIN. Though this does
not affect the DC and low frequency performance, at higher
frequencies the input capacitance interacts with the input and
the feedback impedances to create a pole, which results in
lower phase margin and gain peaking. This can be controlled
by being selective in the use of feedback resistors, as well as
by using a feedback capacitance, CF. For example, in the inverting amplifier shown in Figure 2, if CIN and CF are ignored
and the open loop gain of the op amp is considered infinite
then the gain of the circuit is −R2/R1. An op amp, however,
usually has a dominant pole, which causes its gain to drop
with frequency. Hence, this gain is only valid for DC and low
frequency. To understand the effect of the input capacitance
coupled with the non-ideal gain of the op amp, the circuit
needs to be analyzed in the frequency domain using a
Laplace transform.
Enable and Shutdown Features
The LMV791 family is ideal for battery powered systems. With
a low supply current of 1.15 mA and a shutdown current of
140 nA typically, the LMV791 and LMV792 allow the designer
to maximize battery life. The enable pin of the LMV791 and
the LMV792 allows the op amp to be turned off and reduce
its supply current to less than 1 μA. To power on the op amp
the enable pin should be higher than V+ - 0.5V, where V+ is
the positive supply. To disable the op amp, the enable pin
voltage should be less than V− + 0.5V, where V− is the negative supply.

20116864
FIGURE 2. Inverting Amplifier
20116859
For simplicity, the op amp is modelled as an ideal integrator
with a unity gain frequency of A0 . Hence, its transfer function
(or gain) in the frequency domain is A0/s. Solving the circuit
equations in the frequency domain, ignoring CF for the moment, results in an expression for the gain shown in Equation
1.
FIGURE 3. Gain Peaking Caused by Large R1, R2
A way of reducing the gain peaking is by adding a feedback
capacitance CF in parallel with R2. This introduces another
pole in the system and prevents the formation of pairs of complex conjugate poles which cause the gain to peak. Figure 4
shows the effect of CF on the frequency response of the circuit. Adding a capacitance of 2 pF removes the peak, while a
capacitance of 5 pF creates a much lower pole and reduces
the bandwidth excessively.
(1)
It can be inferred from the denominator of the transfer function
that it has two poles, whose expressions can be obtained by
solving for the roots of the denominator and are shown in
Equation 2.
(2)
Equation 2 shows that as the values of R1 and R2 are increased, the magnitude of the poles, and hence the bandwidth of the amplifier, is reduced. This theory is verified by
using different values of R1 and R2 in the circuit shown in
Figure 1 and by comparing their frequency responses. In Figure 3 the frequency responses for three different values of
R1 and R2 are shown. When both R1 and R2 are 1 kΩ, the
response is flattest and widest; whereas, it narrows and peaks
significantly when both their values are changed to 10 kΩ or
30 kΩ. So it is advisable to use lower values of R1 and R2 to
obtain a wider and flatter response. Lower resistances also
help in high sensitivity circuits since they add less noise.

LMV791/LMV792
AUDIO PREAMPLIFIER WITH BANDPASS FILTERING
With low input referred voltage noise, low supply voltage and
low supply current, and a low harmonic distortion, the
LMV791 family is ideal for audio applications. Its wide unity
gain bandwidth allows it to provide large gain for a wide range
of frequencies and it can be used to design a preamplifier to
drive a load of as low as 600Ω with less than 0.01% distortion.
Two amplifier circuits are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6.
Figure 5 is an inverting amplifier, with a 10 kΩ feedback resistor, R2, and a 1kΩ input resistor, R1, and hence provides a
gain of −10. Figure 6 is a non-inverting amplifier, using the
same values of R1and R2, and provides a gain of 11. In either
of these circuits, the coupling capacitor CC1 decides the lower
frequency at which the circuit starts providing gain, while the
feedback capacitor CF decides the frequency at which the
gain starts dropping off. Figure 7 shows the frequency response of the inverting amplifier with different values of CF.
20116858
FIGURE 7. Frequency Response of the Inverting Audio
Preamplifier
TRANSIMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER
CMOS input op amps are often used in transimpedance applications as they have an extremely high input impedance.
A transimpedance amplifier converts a small input current into
a voltage. This current is usually generated by a photodiode.
The transimpedance gain, measured as the ratio of the output
voltage to the input current, is expected to be large and wideband. Since the circuit deals with currents in the range of a
few nA, low noise performance is essential. The LMV791/
LMV792 are CMOS input op amps providing wide bandwidth
and low noise performance, and are hence ideal for transimpedance applications.
Usually, a transimpedance amplifier is designed on the basis
of the current source driving the input. A photodiode is a very
common capacitive current source, which requires transimpedance gain for transforming its miniscule current into
easily detectable voltages. The photodiode and amplifier’s
gain are selected with respect to the speed and accuracy required of the circuit. A faster circuit would require a photodiode with lesser capacitance and a faster amplifier. A more
sensitive circuit would require a sensitive photodiode and a
high gain. A typical transimpedance amplifier is shown in Figure 8. The output voltage of the amplifier is given by the
equation VOUT = −IINRF. Since the output swing of the amplifier
is limited, RF should be selected such that all possible values
of IIN can be detected.
The LMV791/LMV792 have a large gain-bandwidth product
(17 MHz), which enables high gains at wide bandwidths. A
rail-to-rail output swing at 5.5V supply allows detection and
amplification of a wide range of input currents. A CMOS input
stage with negligible input current noise and low input voltage
noise allows the LMV791/LMV792 to provide high fidelity amplification for wide bandwidths. These properties make the
LMV791/LMV792 ideal for systems requiring wide-band transimpedance amplification.
