The circuit in Figure 1-6 tests the input’s dynamic
behavior (i.e., IMD, tSTR, tSTL and tODR). The
potentiometer balances the resistor network (VOUT
should equal VREF at DC). The op amp’s Common
Mode Input Voltage is VCM = VIN/2. The error at the
input (VERR) appears at VOUT with a noise gain of
10 V/V.

Analog Inputs
The noninverting and inverting inputs (VIN+, VIN-, …)
are high-impedance CMOS inputs with low bias
currents.
3.3
Description
—
The analog output pins (VOUT) are low-impedance
voltage sources.
3.2
Symbol
3.4
Exposed Thermal Pad (EP); must be
connected to VSS
Exposed Thermal Pad (EP)
There is an internal connection between the exposed
thermal pad (EP) and the VSS pin; they must be
connected to the same potential on the printed circuit
board (PCB).
This pad can be connected to a PCB ground plane to
provide a larger heat sink. This improves the package
thermal resistance (θJA).
Power Supply Pins
The positive power supply (VDD) is 1.8V to 5.5V higher
than the negative power supply (VSS). For normal
operation, the other pins are between VSS and VDD.
Typically, these parts are used in a single (positive)
supply configuration. In this case, VSS is connected to
ground and VDD is connected to the supply. VDD will
need bypass capacitors.

APPLICATIONS
The MCP6V66/6U/7/9 family of zero-drift op amps is
manufactured using Microchip’s state-of-the-art CMOS
process. It is designed for applications with
requirements for small packages and low power. Its low
supply voltage and low quiescent current make the
MCP6V66/6U/7/9 devices ideal for battery-powered
applications.
4.1
Overview of Zero-Drift Operation
Figure 4-1 shows a simplified diagram of the
MCP6V66/6U/7/9 zero-drift op amps. This diagram will
be used to explain how slow voltage errors are reduced
in this architecture (much better VOS, VOS/TA (TC1),
CMRR, PSRR, AOL and 1/f noise).

Main
Amp.
The Output Buffer drives external loads at the VOUT pin
(VREF is an internal reference voltage).
The Oscillator runs at fOSC1 = 200 kHz. Its output is
divided by two to produce the chopping clock rate of
fCHOP = 100 kHz.
The internal Power-on Reset (POR) starts the part in a
known good state, protecting against power supply
brown-outs.
The Digital Control block controls switching and POR
events.

BUILDING BLOCKS
The Main Amplifier is designed for high gain and
bandwidth, with a differential topology. Its main input
pair (+ and - pins at the top left) is used for the higher
frequency portion of the input signal. Its auxiliary input
pair (+ and - pins at the bottom left) is used for the
low-frequency portion of the input signal, and corrects
the op amp’s input offset voltage. Both inputs are
added together internally.
The Auxiliary Amplifier, Chopper Input Switches and
Chopper Output Switches provide a high DC gain to the
input signal. DC errors are modulated to higher
frequencies, while white noise is modulated to low
frequency.

INTERMODULATION DISTORTION
(IMD)
These op amps will show intermodulation distortion
(IMD) products when an AC signal is present.
The signal and clock can be decomposed into sine
wave tones (Fourier series components). These tones
interact with the zero-drift circuitry’s nonlinear response
to produce IMD tones at sum and difference
frequencies. Each of the square wave clock’s
harmonics has a series of IMD tones centered on it.
See Figures 2-36 and 2-37.

Other Functional Blocks
RAIL-TO-RAIL INPUTS
The input stage of the MCP6V66/6U/7/9 op amps uses
two differential CMOS input stages in parallel. One
operates at low Common Mode Input Voltage (VCM,
which is approximately equal to VIN+ and VIN- in normal
operation) and the other at high VCM. With this
topology, the input operates with VCM up to VDD + 0.3V
and down to VSS – 0.2V, at +25°C (see Figure 2-16).
The input offset voltage (VOS) is measured at
VCM = VSS – 0.2V and VDD + 0.3V to ensure proper
operation.
4.2.1.1
Phase Reversal
The input devices are designed to not exhibit phase
inversion when the input pins exceed the supply
voltages. Figure 2-41 shows an input voltage
exceeding both supplies with no phase inversion.

Simplified Analog Input ESD
The input ESD diodes clamp the inputs when they try
to go more than one diode drop below VSS. They also
clamp any voltages well above VDD; their breakdown
voltage is high enough to allow normal operation but
not low enough to protect against slow overvoltage
(beyond VDD) events. Very fast ESD events (that meet
the specification) are limited so that damage does not
occur.
In some applications, it may be necessary to prevent
excessive voltages from reaching the op amp inputs;
Figure 4-5 shows one approach to protecting these
inputs. D1 and D2 may be small signal silicon diodes,
Schottky diodes for lower clamping voltages or
diode-connected FETs for low leakage.
VDD
Input Voltage Limits
In order to prevent damage and/or improper operation
of these amplifiers, the circuit must limit the voltages at
the input pins (see Section 1.1 “Absolute Maximum
Ratings †”). This requirement is independent of the
current limits discussed later on.
The ESD protection on the inputs can be depicted as
shown in Figure 4-4. This structure was chosen to
protect the input transistors against many (but not all)
overvoltage conditions and to minimize input bias
current (IB).

Input Current Limits
In order to prevent damage and/or improper operation
of these amplifiers, the circuit must limit the currents
into the input pins (see Section 1.1 “Absolute
Maximum Ratings †”). This requirement is
independent of the voltage limits discussed previously.
Figure 4-6 shows one approach to protecting these
inputs. The R1 and R2 resistors limit the possible
current in or out of the input pins (and into D1 and D2).
The diode currents will dump onto VDD.

Protecting the Analog Inputs

It is also possible to connect the diodes to the left of the
R1 and R2 resistors. In this case, the currents through
the D1 and D2 diodes need to be limited by some other
mechanism. The resistors then serve as in-rush current
limiters; the DC current into the input pins (VIN+ and
VIN-) should be very small.
4.3.2
OFFSET AT POWER-UP
When these parts power up, the input offset (VOS)
starts at its uncorrected value. Circuits with high DC
gain can cause the output to reach one of the two rails.
In this case, the time to a valid output is delayed by an
output overdrive time (like tODR) in addition to the
start-up time (like tSTR).
It can be simple to avoid this extra start-up time.
Reducing the gain is one method. Adding a capacitor
across the feedback resistor (RF) is another method.
A significant amount of current can flow out of the inputs
(through the ESD diodes) when the Common Mode
Voltage (VCM) is below ground (VSS) (see Figure 2-15).
4.2.2
RAIL-TO-RAIL OUTPUT
The Output Voltage Range of the MCP6V66/6U/7/9
zero-drift op amps is VDD – 5.9 mV (typical) and
VSS + 4.7 mV (typical) when RL = 20 kΩ is connected to
VDD/2 and VDD = 5.5V. Refer to Figures 2-17 and 2-18
for more information.
This op amp is designed to drive light loads; use
another amplifier to buffer the output from heavy loads.

DS20006266A-page 19
MCP6V66/6U/7/9
SOURCE RESISTANCES
The input bias currents have two significant
components: switching glitches that dominate at room
temperature and below and input ESD diode leakage
currents that dominate at +85°C and above.
Make the resistances seen by the inputs small and
equal. This minimizes the output offset caused by the
input bias currents.
The inputs should see a resistance on the order of 10Ω
to 1 kΩ at high frequencies (i.e., above 1 MHz). This
helps minimize the impact of switching glitches, which
are very fast, on overall performance. In some cases it
may be necessary to add resistors in series with the
inputs to achieve this improvement in performance.
Small input resistances may be needed for high gains.
Without them, parasitic capacitances might cause
positive feedback and instability.
4.3.4
SOURCE CAPACITANCE
The capacitances seen by the two inputs should be
small. Large input capacitances and source
resistances, together with high gain, can lead to
positive feedback and instability.
4.3.5
CAPACITIVE LOADS
Driving large capacitive loads can cause stability
problems for voltage feedback op amps. As the load
capacitance increases, the feedback loop’s phase
margin decreases and the closed-loop bandwidth is
reduced. This produces gain peaking in the frequency
response, with overshoot and ringing in the step
response. These zero-drift op amps have a different
output impedance than most op amps, due to their
unique topology.
When driving a capacitive load with these op amps, a
series resistor at the output (RISO in Figure 4-7)
improves the feedback loop’s phase margin (stability)
by making the output load resistive at higher
frequencies. The bandwidth will be generally lower
than the bandwidth with no capacitive load.
GN is the circuit’s noise gain. For noninverting gains,
GN and the Signal Gain are equal. For inverting gains,
GN is 1+|Signal Gain| (e.g., -1 V/V gives GN = +2 V/V).

After selecting RISO for your circuit, double check the

response is reasonable. Bench evaluation is helpful.
4.3.6
STABILIZING OUTPUT LOADS
This family of zero-drift op amps has an output
impedance (Figures 2-28 and 2-29) that has a double
zero when the gain is low. This can cause a large phase
shift in feedback networks that have low-impedance
near the part’s bandwidth. This large phase shift can
cause stability problems.
Figure 4-9 shows that the load on the output is
(RL + RISO)||(RF + RG), where RISO is before the load
(like Figure 4-7). This load needs to be large enough to
maintain stability; it should be at least 10 kΩ.

REDUCING UNDESIRED NOISE
AND SIGNALS
SUPPLY BYPASSING AND
FILTERING
With this family of operational amplifiers, the power
supply pin (VDD for single supply) should have a local
bypass capacitor (i.e., 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF) within 2 mm
of the pin for good high-frequency performance.
These parts also need a bulk capacitor (i.e., 1 µF or
larger) within 100 mm to provide large, slow currents.
This bulk capacitor can be shared with other low-noise
analog parts.
CG acts in parallel with RG (except for a gain of +1 V/V),
which causes an increase in gain at high frequencies.
CG also reduces the phase margin of the feedback
loop, which becomes less stable. This effect can be
reduced by either reducing CG or RF||RG.
In some cases, high-frequency power supply noise
(e.g., switched mode power supplies) may cause
undue intermodulation distortion with a DC offset shift;
this noise needs to be filtered. Adding a small resistor
into the supply connection can be helpful.
CN and RN form a low-pass filter that affects the signal
at VP. This filter has a single real pole at 1/(2πRNCN).
4.3.10
The largest value of RF that should be used depends
on noise gain (see GN in Section 4.3.5 “Capacitive
Loads”), CG and the open-loop gain’s phase shift. An
approximate limit for RF is:
EQUATION 4-2:
3.5 pF
R F 10 k --------------- G N2
CG
Some applications may modify these values to reduce
either output loading or gain peaking (step-response
overshoot).
At high gains, RN needs to be small in order to prevent
positive feedback and oscillations. Large CN values
can also help.

PCB DESIGN FOR DC PRECISION
In order to achieve DC precision on the order of ±1 µV,
many physical errors need to be minimized. The design
of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB), the wiring and the
thermal environment have a strong impact on the
precision achieved. A poor PCB design can easily be
more than 100 times worse than the MCP6V66/6U/7/9
op amps’ minimum and maximum specifications.
4.3.10.1
PCB Layout
Any time two dissimilar metals are joined together, a
temperature-dependent voltage appears across the
junction (the Seebeck or thermojunction effect). This
effect is used in thermocouples to measure
temperature. The following are examples of
thermojunctions on a PCB:
• Components (resistors, op amps, …) soldered to
a copper pad
• Wires mechanically attached to the PCB
• Jumpers
• Solder joints
• PCB vias
DS20006266A-page 21
MCP6V66/6U/7/9
Typical thermojunctions have temperature-to-voltage
conversion coefficients of 1 to 100 µV/°C (sometimes
higher).
4.4
Microchip’s AN1258 (“Op Amp Precision Design: PCB
Layout Techniques”) contains in-depth information on
PCB layout techniques that minimize thermojunction
effects. It also discusses other effects, such as
crosstalk, impedances, mechanical stresses and
humidity.
Many sensors are configured as Wheatstone bridges.
Strain gauges and pressure sensors are two common
examples. These signals can be small and the
Common mode noise large. Amplifier designs with high
differential gain are desirable.
4.3.10.2
Crosstalk
DC crosstalk causes offsets that appear as a larger
input offset voltage. Common causes include:
Typical Applications
4.4.1
WHEATSTONE BRIDGE
Figure 4-11 shows how to interface to a Wheatstone
bridge with a minimum of components. Because the
circuit is not symmetric, the ADC input is single-ended
and there is a minimum of filtering; the CMRR is good
enough for moderate Common mode noise.
• Common mode noise (remote sensors)
• Ground loops (current return paths)
• Power supply coupling
0.01C
VDD
R R
Interference from the mains (usually 50 Hz or 60 Hz)
and other AC sources can also affect the DC
performance. Nonlinear distortion can convert these
signals to multiple tones, including a DC shift in voltage.
When the signal is sampled by an ADC, these AC
signals can also be aliased to DC, causing an apparent
shift in offset.
FIGURE 4-11:
To reduce interference:
4.4.2
-
Keep traces and wires as short as possible
Use shielding
Use ground plane (at least a star ground)
Place the input signal source near the DUT
Use good PCB layout techniques
Use a separate power supply filter (bypass
capacitors) for these zero-drift op amps
4.3.10.3
Miscellaneous Effects
Keep the resistances seen by the input pins as small
and as near to equal as possible to minimize bias
current-related offsets.
Make the (trace) capacitances seen by the input pins
small and equal. This is helpful in minimizing switching
glitch-induced offset voltages.
Bending a coax cable with a radius that is too small
causes a small voltage drop to appear on the center
conductor (the triboelectric effect). Make sure the
bending radius is large enough to keep the conductors
and insulation in full contact.
Mechanical stresses can make some capacitor types
(such as some ceramics) output small voltages. Use
more appropriate capacitor types in the signal path and
minimize mechanical stresses and vibration.
Humidity can cause electrochemical potential voltages
to appear in a circuit. Proper PCB cleaning helps, as
does the use of encapsulants.
