Improved replacement for TLC274, TLC279
The LMC6484 is an excellent choice for systems,
such as data acquisition, that require a large input
signal range. The device is also an excellent upgrade
for circuits using limited common-mode range
amplifiers, such as the TLC274 and TLC279.
Maximum dynamic signal range is maintained in low
voltage and single-supply systems by the rail-to-rail
output swing of the LMC6484. The rail-to-rail output
swing of the LMC6484 is specified for loads down to
600 Ω.
Specified low voltage characteristics and low power
dissipation make the LMC6484 an excellent choice
for battery-operated systems.
See the LMC6482 for a dual CMOS operational
amplifier with these same features.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/Distributors for availability and
specifications.
Limiting input pin current is only necessary for input voltages that exceed absolute maximum input voltage ratings.
Applies to both single supply and split-supply operation. Continuous short circuit operation at elevated ambient temperature can result in
exceeding the maximum allowed junction temperature of 150°C. Output currents in excess of ±30 mA over long term may adversely
affect reliability.
Do not short circuit output to V+, when V+ is greater than 13 V or reliability will be adversely affected.
The maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), RθJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient
temperature is PD = (TJ(max) − TA)/RJθA. All numbers apply for packages soldered directly into a PC board.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LMC6484 is a quad operational amplifier that offers a low-cost, low-power amplifier for applications requiring
multiple operational amplifier stages and rail-to-rail operation. This device supports a wide supply range (3 V to
15 V) and excellent amplifier-to-amplifier isolation (150 dB typical). This device is an excellent choice for batterypowered signal acquisition systems requiring highly integrated solutions to achieve efficient layout.
7.2 Functional Block Diagram
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Amplifier Topology
The LMC6484 incorporates specially designed, wide-compliance range current mirrors, and the body effect to
extend input common-mode range to each supply rail. Complementary, paralleled, differential input stages, like
the type used in other CMOS and bipolar rail-to-rail input amplifiers, are not used because of their inherent
accuracy problems due to CMRR, crossover distortion, and open-loop gain variation.
The input stage design of the LMC6484 is complemented by an output stage capable of rail-to-rail output swing
even when driving a large load. Rail-to-rail output swing is obtained by taking the output directly from the internal
integrator instead of an output buffer stage.
7.3.2 Input Common-Mode Voltage Range
Unlike Bi-FET amplifier designs, the LMC6484 does not exhibit phase inversion when an input voltage exceeds
the negative supply voltage. Figure 46 shows an input voltage exceeding both supplies with no resulting phase
inversion on the output.

Feature Description (continued)
The absolute maximum input voltage is 300 mV beyond either supply rail at room temperature. Voltages greatly
exceeding this absolute maximum rating, as in Figure 46, can cause excessive current to flow in or out of the
input pins possibly affecting reliability.
Figure 46. A ±7.5V Input Signal Greatly Exceeds the 3-V
Supply in Figure 47 Causing No Phase Inversion due to RI
Applications that exceed this rating must externally limit the maximum input current to ±5 mA with an input
resistor, as shown in Figure 47.
Figure 47. RI Input Current Protection for Voltages Exceeding the Supply Voltage
7.3.3 Rail-to-Rail Output
The approximated output resistance of the LMC6484 is 180-Ω sourcing and 130-Ω sinking at VS = 3 V, and 110Ω sourcing and 83-Ω sinking at VS = 5 V. Using the calculated output resistance, the maximum output voltage
swing can be estimated as a function of load.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
The LMC6482 may be used in applications where each amplifier channel is used independently, or in
applications with cascaded channels. See the Typical Application section for more information.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
8.1.1 Upgrading Applications
The LMC6484 quad-channel devices and LMC6482 dual-channel devices have industry standard pinouts to
retrofit existing applications. System performance can be greatly increased by the features of the LMC6484. The
key benefit of designing in the LMC6484 is increased linear signal range. Most operational amplifiers have limited
input common-mode ranges. Signals that exceed this range generate a nonlinear output response that persists
long after the input signal returns to the common-mode range.
Linear signal range is vital in applications such as filters, where signal peaking can exceed input common-mode
ranges, and result in output phase inversion or severe distortion.

Typical Application (continued)
8.2.1 Design Requirements
• For best performance, make sure that the input voltage swing is between V+ and V–.
• Make sure that the input does not exceed the common-mode input range.
• To reduce the risk of de-stabilizing the output, use resistive isolation on the output when driving capacitive
loads (see the Capacitive Load Compensation section).
• When large feedback resistors are used, compensate for parasitic capacitance on the input as needed (see
the Compensating for Input Capacitance section).
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Capacitive Load Compensation
The LMC6484 typically directly drives a 100-pF load with VS = 15 V at unity gain without oscillating. The unity
gain follower is the most sensitive configuration. Direct capacitive loading reduces the phase margin of
operational amplifiers. The combination of the output impedance of the operational amplifier and the capacitive
load induces phase lag that results in either an under-damped pulse response or oscillation.
Capacitive load compensation can be accomplished using resistive isolation, as shown in Figure 49. This simple
technique is useful for isolating the capacitive input of multiplexers and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).

Typical Application (continued)
Improved frequency response is achieved by indirectly driving capacitive loads as shown in Figure 51.
Figure 51. LMC6484 Noninverting Amplifier Compensated to Handle a 330-pF Capacitive Load
R1 and C1 serve to counteract the loss of phase margin by feeding forward the high-frequency component of the
output signal back to the inverting input of the amplifier; thereby, preserving phase margin in the overall feedback
loop. The values of R1 and C1 are experimentally determined for the desired pulse response. The resulting pulse
response is seen in Figure 52.

Typical Application (continued)
8.2.2.2 Compensating for Input Capacitance
Large values of feedback resistance are often used with amplifiers that have ultra-low input current, such as the
LMC6484. Large feedback resistors can react with small values of input capacitance due to transducers,
photodiodes, and circuit-board parasitics to reduce phase margins.
Figure 53. Canceling the Effect of Input Capacitance
To compensate for the effect of input capacitance, add a feedback capacitor. The feedback capacitor (as in
Figure 53), Cf, is first estimated by Equation 1:
1
1
³
2pR1 CIN 2pR2 Cf
or
R1 CIN £ R2 Cf
(1)
This equation typically provides significant overcompensation. Printed circuit board (PCB) stray capacitance may
be larger or smaller than that of a breadboard, so the actual optimum value for Cf may be different. The values of
Cf should be checked on the actual circuit. See the LMC660 Quad CMOS Amplifier data sheet for a more
detailed discussion.
8.2.2.3 Offset Voltage Adjustment
Offset voltage adjustment circuits are illustrated in Figure 54 and Figure 55. Large-value resistances and
potentiometers are used to reduce power consumption while providing typically ±2.5 mV of adjustment range,
referred to the input, for both configurations with VS = ±5 V.

In Figure 70, dielectric absorption and leakage is minimized by using a polystyrene or polyethylene hold
capacitor. The droop rate is primarily determined by the value of CH and the diode leakage current. The ultra-low
input current of the LMC6484 has a negligible effect on droop.

Figure 71. Rail-to-Rail Sample and Hold
The high CMRR (85 dB) of the LMC6484 allows excellent accuracy throughout the rail-to-rail dynamic capture
range of the circuit.
The low-pass filter circuit in Figure 72 can be used as an antialiasing filter with the same voltage supply as the
ADC. Filter designs can also take advantage of the LMC6484 ultra-low input current. The ultra-low input current
yields negligible offset error even when large value resistors are used, which allows the use of smaller-valued
capacitors that take up less board space and cost less.

8.3.1 Data Acquisition Systems
Low-power, single-supply, data acquisition system solutions are provided by buffering the ADC12038 with the
LMC6484, as shown in Figure 73. Capable of using the full supply range, the LMC6484 does not require input
signals to be scaled down to meet limited common-mode voltage ranges. The LMC6484 CMRR of 82 dB
maintains integral linearity of a 12-bit data acquisition system to ±0.325 LSB. Other rail-to-rail input amplifiers
with only 50 dB of CMRR degrade the accuracy of the data acquisition system to only 8 bits.

8.3.2 Instrumentation Circuits
The LMC6484 has the high input impedance, large common-mode range, and high CMRR required for designing
instrumentation circuits. Instrumentation circuits designed with the LMC6484 can reject a larger range of
common-mode signals than most instrumentation amps. Thus, instrumentation circuits designed with the
LMC6484 are an excellent choice for noisy or industrial environments. Other applications that benefit from these
features include analytic medical instruments, magnetic field detectors, gas detectors, and silicon-based
transducers.
A small-valued potentiometer is used in series with Rg to set the differential gain of the three-op-amp
instrumentation circuit in Figure 74. This combination is used instead of one large valued potentiometer to
increase gain trim accuracy and reduce error due to vibration.
Figure 74. Low-Power, Three-Op-Amp Instrumentation Amplifier
A two-op-amp instrumentation amplifier designed for a gain of 100 is shown in Figure 75. Low sensitivity
trimming is made for offset voltage, CMRR, and gain. Low cost and low power consumption are the main
advantages of this two-op-amp circuit.
Higher frequency and larger common-mode range applications are best facilitated by a three-op-amp
instrumentation amplifier.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LMC6482 can be operated over a supply range of 3 V to 15 V. To achieve noise immunity as appropriate to
the application, make sure to use good PCB layout practices for power supply rails and planes, as well as using
bypass capacitors connected between the power supply pins and ground.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
10.1.1 Printed-Circuit-Board Layout for High-Impedance Work
Any circuit that must operate with less than 1000 pA of leakage current requires special layout of the PCB. To
take advantage of the ultra-low input current of the LMC6484 (typically, less than 20 fA), make sure to have an
excellent layout. Fortunately, the techniques for obtaining low leakages are quite simple. First, do not ignore the
surface leakage of the PCB, even though this leakage may sometimes appear acceptably low, because under
conditions of high humidity or dust or contamination, the surface leakage will be appreciable.
To minimize the effect of any surface leakage, lay out a ring of foil completely surrounding the LMC6484 inputs
and the terminals of capacitors, diodes, conductors, resistors, relay terminals, an so on, connected to the
operational amplifier inputs, as in Figure 78. To have a significant effect, place guard rings in both the top and
bottom of the PCB. This PC foil must then be connected to a voltage that is at the same voltage as the amplifier
inputs, because no leakage current can flow between two points at the same potential. For example, a PCB
trace-to-pad resistance of 1012 Ω, which is normally considered a very large resistance, could leak 5 pA if the
trace were a 5-V bus adjacent to the pad of the input. This leakage would cause a 250 times degradation from
the actual performance of the LMC6484. However, if a guard ring is held within 5 mV of the inputs, then even a
resistance of 1011 Ω would cause only 0.05 pA of leakage current. Figure 76 shows the typical connections of
guard rings for standard operational amplifier configurations.
Figure 76. Typical Connections of Guard Rings
Be aware that when it is inappropriate to lay out a PCB for the sake of just a few circuits, another technique even
better than a guard ring on a PCB: do not insert the input pin of the amplifier into the PCB at all, but bend the
input pin up in the air and use only air as an insulator. Air is an excellent insulator. In this case, you may have to
forego some of the advantages of PCB construction, but the advantages are sometimes well worth the effort of
using point-to-point, up-in-the-air wiring, as shown in Figure 77.
NOTE: Input pins are lifted out of PCB and soldered directly to components. All other pins connected to PCB.
