Dual, Low Power CMOS Operational Amplifiers
The ICL761X/762X series is a family of monolithic CMOS
operational amplifiers. These devices provide the designer
with high performance operation at low supply voltages and
selectable quiescent currents. They are an ideal design tool
when ultra low input current and low power dissipation are
desired.
Features
The basic amplifier will operate at supply voltages ranging
from 1V to 8V, and may be operated from a single Lithium
cell. The output swing ranges to within a few millivolts of the
supply voltages.
• Available as Duals (Refer to ICL7611 for Singles)
The quiescent supply current of these amplifiers is set to
100µA at the factory. This results in power consumption as
low as 200µW per amplifier.
• Portable Instruments
Of particular significance is the extremely low (1pA) input
current, input noise current of 0.01pA/Hz, and 1012 input
impedance. These features optimize performance in very
high source impedance applications.
• Meter Amplifiers
The inputs are internally protected. Outputs are fully
protected against short circuits to ground or to either supply.

CAUTION: Do not operate at or near the maximum ratings listed for extended periods of time. Exposure to such conditions may adversely impact product reliability and
result in failures not covered by warranty.
NOTES:
3. Long term offset voltage stability will be degraded if large input differential voltages are applied for long periods of time.
4. The outputs may be shorted to ground or to either supply, for VSUPPLY 10V. Care must be taken to insure that the dissipation rating is not

Application Information
Static Protection
Output Stage and Load Driving Considerations
All devices are static protected by the use of input diodes.
However, strong static fields should be avoided, as it is
possible for the strong fields to cause degraded diode junction
characteristics, which may result in increased input leakage
currents.
Each amplifiers’ quiescent current flows primarily in the output
stage. This is approximately 70% of the IQ settings. This allows
output swings to almost the supply rails for output loads of
1M, 100k, and 10k, using the output stage in a highly
linear class A mode. In this mode, crossover distortion is
avoided and the voltage gain is maximized. However, the
output stage can also be operated in Class AB for higher
output currents (see graphs in “Typical Performance Curves”
beginning on page 6). During the transition from Class A to
Class B operation, the output transfer characteristic is
nonlinear and the voltage gain decreases.
Latchup Avoidance
Junction-isolated CMOS circuits employ configurations which
produce a parasitic 4-layer (PNPN) structure. The 4-layer
structure has characteristics similar to an SCR, and under
certain circumstances may be triggered into a low impedance
state resulting in excessive supply current. To avoid this
condition, no voltage greater than 0.3V beyond the supply rails
may be applied to any pin. In general, the op amp supplies
must be established simultaneously with, or before any input
signals are applied. If this is not possible, the drive circuits
must limit input current flow to 2mA to prevent latchup.
The ICL76XX are internally compensated, and are stable for
closed loop gains as low as unity with capacitive loads up to
100pF.
Typical Applications
Choosing the Proper IQ
Each device in the ICL76XX family has a similar IQ setup scheme,
which allows the amplifier to be set to nominal quiescent currents
of 10µA, 100µA or 1mA. These current settings change only very
slightly over the entire supply voltage range. The ICL7611/12
have an external IQ control terminal, permitting user selection of
each amplifiers’ quiescent current. The ICL7621 has a fixed IQ
setting of 100µA.
VIN
Frequency Compensation
The user is cautioned that, due to extremely high input
impedances, care must be exercised in layout, construction,
board cleanliness, and supply filtering to avoid hum and noise
pickup.
