QUAD MICROPOWER RAIL-TO-RAIL CMOS OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ALD4701A/ALD4701B/ALD4701 is a quad monolithic CMOS
micropower high slew rate operational amplifier intended for a broad range
of analog applications using ±1V to ±5V dual power supply systems, as well
as +2V to +10V battery operated systems. All device characteristics are
specified for +5V single supply or ±2.5V dual supply systems. Total supply
current for all four operational amplifiers is 1mA maximum at 5V supply
voltage. It is manufactured with Advanced Linear Devices' enhanced
ACMOS silicon gate CMOS process.
• All parameters specified for +5V single
supply or ±2.5V dual supply systems
• Rail-to-rail input and output voltage ranges
• Unity gain stable
• Extremely low input bias currents -- 1.0pA
• High source impedance applications
• Dual power supply ±1.0V to ±5.0V
• Single power supply +2V to +10V
• High voltage gain
• Output short circuit protected
• Unity gain bandwidth of 0.7MHz
• Slew rate of 0.7V/µs
• Low power dissipation
• Symmetrical output drive
• Suitable for rugged, temperature-extreme
environments
The ALD4701A/ALD4701B/ALD4701 is designed to offer a trade-off of
performance parameters providing a wide range of desired specifications.
It has been developed specifically for the +5V single supply or ±1V to ±5V
dual supply user and offers the popular industry standard pin configuration
of LM324 types and ICL7641 types.
Several important characteristics of the device make application easier to
implement at these voltages. First, each operational amplifier can operate
with rail to rail input and output voltages. This means the signal input
voltage and output voltage can be equal to or near to the positive and
negative supply voltages. This feature allows numerous analog serial
stages and flexibility in input signal bias levels. Second, each device was
designed to accommodate mixed applications where digital and analog
circuits may operate off the same power supply or battery. Third, the output
stage can typically drive up to 50pF capacitive and 10KΩ resistive loads.
These features, combined with extremely low input currents, high open
loop voltage gain of 100V/mV, useful bandwidth of 700KHz, a slew rate of
0.7V/µs, low power dissipation of 5mW, low offset voltage and temperature
drift, make the ALD4701A/ALD4701B/ALD4701 a versatile, micropower
quad operational amplifier.
The ALD4701A/ALD4701B/ALD4701, designed and fabricated with silicon
gate CMOS technology, offers 1pA typical input bias current. Due to low
voltage and low power operation, reliability and operating characteristics,
such as input bias currents and warm up time, are greatly improved.
Additionally, robust design and rigorous screening make this device
especially suitable for operation in temperature-extreme environments and
rugged conditions.

Design & Operating Notes:
1. The ALD4701A/ALD4701B/ALD4701 CMOS operational amplifier uses
a 3 gain stage architecture and an improved frequency compensation
scheme to achieve large voltage gain, high output driving capability,
and better frequency stability. In a conventional CMOS operational
amplifier design, compensation is achieved with a pole splitting capacitor together with a nulling resistor. This method is, however, very bias
dependent and thus cannot accommodate the large range of supply
voltage operation as is required from a stand alone CMOS operational
amplifier. The ALD4701A/ALD4701B/ALD4701 is internally compensated for unity gain stability using a novel scheme that does not use a
nulling resistor. This scheme produces a clean single pole roll off in the
gain characteristics while providing for more than 70 degrees of phase
margin at the unity gain frequency.
2. The ALD4701A/ALD4701B/ALD4701 has complementary p-channel
and n-channel input differential stages connected in parallel to accomplish rail-to-rail input common mode voltage range. This means that
with the ranges of common mode input voltage close to the power
supplies, one of the two differential stages is switched off internally. To
maintain compatibility with other operational amplifiers, this switching
point has been selected to be about 1.5V below the positive supply
voltage. Since offset voltage trimming on the ALD4701A/ALD4701B/
ALD4701 is made when the input voltage is symmetrical to the supply
voltages, this internal switching does not affect a large variety of
applications such as an inverting amplifier or non-inverting amplifier
with a gain larger than 2.5 (5V operation), where the common mode
voltage does not make excursions above this switching point. The user
should however, be aware that this switching does take place if the
operational amplifier is connected as a unity gain buffer and should
make provision in his design to allow for input offset voltage variations.
3. The input bias and offset currents are essentially input protection diode
reverse bias leakage currents, and are typically less than 1pA at room
temperature. This low input bias current assures that the analog signal
from the source will not be distorted by input bias currents. Normally,
this extremely high input impedance of greater than 1012Ω would not be
a problem as the source impedance would limit the node impedance.
However, for applications where source impedance is very high, it may
be necessary to limit noise and hum pickup through proper shielding.
4. The output stage consists of class AB complementary output drivers,
capable of driving a low resistance load. The output voltage swing is
limited by the drain to source on-resistance of the output transistors as
determined by the bias circuitry, and the value of the load resistor.
When connected in the voltage follower configuration, the oscillation
resistant feature, combined with the rail to rail input and output feature,
makes an effective analog signal buffer for medium to high source
impedance sensors, transducers, and other circuit networks.
5. The ALD4701A/ALD4701B/ALD4701 operational amplifier has been
designed to provide full static discharge protection. Internally, the
design has been carefully implemented to minimize latch up. However,
care must be exercised when handling the device to avoid strong static
fields that may degrade a diode junction, causing increased input
leakage currents. In using the operational amplifier, the user is advised
to power up the circuit before, or simultaneously with, any input
voltages applied and to limit input voltages not to exceed 0.3V of the
power supply voltage levels.
6. The ALD4701A/ALD4701B/ALD4701, with its micropower operation,
offers numerous benefits in reduced power supply requirements, less
noise coupling and current spikes, less thermally induced drift, better
overall reliability due to lower self heating, and lower input bias current.
It requires practically no warm up time as the chip junction heats up to
only 0.4°C above ambient temperature under most operating conditions.
