LMV84x CMOS Input, RRIO, Low Power, Wide Supply Range,
4.5-MHz Operational Amplifiers
1 Features
3 Description
•
The LMV84x devices are low-voltage and low-power
operational amplifiers that operate with supply
voltages ranging from 2.7 V to 12 V and have rail-torail input and output capability. Their low offset
voltage, low supply current, and CMOS inputs make
them ideal for high impedance sensor interface and
battery-powered applications.

Electrical table values apply only for factory testing conditions at the temperature indicated. Factory testing conditions result in very
limited self-heating of the device.
Limits are 100% production tested at 25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are ensured through correlations using
statistical quality control (SQC) method.
Typical values represent the most likely parametric norm as determined at the time of characterization. Actual typical values may vary
over time and will also depend on the application and configuration. The typical values are not tested and are not ensured on shipped
production material.
This parameter is ensured by design and/or characterization and is not tested in production.
Positive current corresponds to current flowing into the device.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LMV84x devices are operational amplifiers with near-precision specifications: low noise, low temperature
drift, low offset, and rail-to-rail input and output. Possible application areas include instrumentation, medical, test
equipment, audio, and automotive applications.
Its low supply current of 1 mA per amplifier, temperature range of −40°C to +125°C, 12-V supply with CMOS
input, and the small SC70 package for the LMV841 make the LMV84x a unique op amp family and a perfect
choice for portable electronics.
7.2 Functional Block Diagram
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Input Protection
The LMV84x devices have a set of anti-parallel diodes D1 and D2 between the input pins, as shown in Figure 34.
These diodes are present to protect the input stage of the amplifier. At the same time, they limit the amount of
differential input voltage that is allowed on the input pins.
A differential signal larger than one diode voltage drop can damage the diodes. The differential signal between
the inputs needs to be limited to ±300 mV or the input current needs to be limited to ±10 mA.
NOTE
When the op amp is slewing, a differential input voltage exists that forward-biases the
protection diodes. This may result in current being drawn from the signal source. While
this current is already limited by the internal resistors R1 and R2 (both 130 Ω), a resistor of
1 kΩ can be placed in the feedback path, or a 500-Ω resistor can be placed in series with
the input signal for further limitation.

7.3.2 Input Stage
The input stage of this amplifier consists of both a PMOS and an NMOS input pair to achieve a rail-to-rail input
range. For input voltages close to the negative rail, only the PMOS pair is active. Close to the positive rail, only
the NMOS pair is active. In a transition region that extends from approximately 2 V below V+ to 1 V below V+,
both pairs are active, and one pair gradually takes over from the other. In this transition region, the input-referred
offset voltage changes from the offset voltage associated with the PMOS pair to that of the NMOS pair. The input
pairs are trimmed independently to ensure an input offset voltage of less then 0.5 mV at room temperature over
the complete rail-to-rail input range. This also significantly improves the CMRR of the amplifier in the transition
region.
NOTE
The CMRR and PSRR limits in the tables are large-signal numbers that express the
maximum variation of the input offset of the amplifier over the full common-mode voltage
and supply voltage range, respectively. When the common-mode input voltage of the
amplifier is within the transition region, the small signal CMRR and PSRR may be slightly
lower than the large signal limits.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Driving Capacitive Load
The LMV84x can be connected as noninverting unity gain amplifiers. This configuration is the most sensitive to
capacitive loading. The combination of a capacitive load placed on the output of an amplifier along with the
output impedance of the amplifier creates a phase lag, which reduces the phase margin of the amplifier. If the
phase margin is significantly reduced, the response is under-damped, which causes peaking in the transfer.
When there is too much peaking, the op amp might start oscillating.
The LMV84x can directly drive capacitive loads up to 100 pF without any stability issues. To drive heavier
capacitive loads, an isolation resistor (RISO) must be used, as shown in Figure 35. By using this isolation resistor,
the capacitive load is isolated from the output of the amplifier, and hence, the pole caused by CL is no longer in
the feedback loop. The larger the value of RISO, the more stable the output voltage is. If values of RISO are
sufficiently large, the feedback loop is stable, independent of the value of CL. However, larger values of RISO
result in reduced output swing and reduced output current drive.

Noise Performance
The LMV84x devices have good noise specifications and are frequently used in low-noise applications. Therefore
it is important to determine the noise of the total circuit. Besides the input-referred noise of the op amp, the
feedback resistors may have an important contribution to the total noise.
For applications with a voltage input configuration, in general it is beneficial general, beneficial to keep the
resistor values low. In these configurations high resistor values mean high noise levels. However, using low
resistor values will increase the power consumption of the application. This is not always acceptable for portable
applications, so there is a trade-off between noise level and power consumption.
Besides the noise contribution of the signal source, three types of noise need to be taken into account for
calculating the noise performance of an op amp circuit:
• Input-referred voltage noise of the op amp
• Input-referred current noise of the op amp
• Noise sources of the resistors in the feedback network, configuring the op amp
To calculate the noise voltage at the output of the op amp, the first step is to determine a total equivalent noise
source. This requires the transformation of all noise sources to the same reference node. A convenient choice for
this node is the input of the op amp circuit. The next step is to add all the noise sources. The final step is to
multiply the total equivalent input voltage noise with the gain of the op amp configuration.
If the input-referred voltage noise of the op amp is already placed at the input, the user can use the inputreferred voltage noise without further transferring. The input-referred current noise needs to be converted to an
input-referred voltage noise. The current noise is negligibly small, as long as the equivalent resistance is not
unrealistically large, so the user can leave the current noise out for these examples. That leaves the user with
the noise sources of the resistors, being the thermal noise voltage. The influence of the resistors on the total
noise can be seen in the following examples, one with high resistor values and one with low resistor values. Both
examples describe an op amp configuration with a gain of 101 which gives the circuit a bandwidth of 44.5 kHz.
The op amp noise is the same for both cases, that is, an input-referred noise voltage of 20 nV/
and a
negligibly small input-referred noise current.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
To calculate the noise of the resistors in the feedback network, the equivalent input-referred noise resistance is
needed. For the example in Figure 36, this equivalent resistance Req can be calculated using Equation 1:
R ´ RG
Req = F
RF + RG
(1)
The voltage noise of the equivalent resistance can be calculated using Equation 2:
enr = 4kTReq
where
•
•
•
•
•
enr = thermal noise voltage of the equivalent resistor
Req (V/ )
k = Boltzmann constant (1.38 x 10–23 J/K)
T = absolute temperature (K)
Req = resistance (Ω)
(2)
The total equivalent input voltage noise is given by Equation 3:
en in = env 2 + enr 2
where
•
•
en in = total input equivalent voltage noise of the circuit
env = input voltage noise of the op amp
(3)
The final step is multiplying the total input voltage noise by the noise gain using Equation 4, which is in this case
the gain of the op amp configuration:
en out = en in ´ Anoise
(4)
The equivalent resistance for the first example with a resistor RF of 10 MΩ and a resistor RG of 100 kΩ at 25°C
(298 K) equals Equation 5:
R ´ RG 10 M W ´ 100 k W
Req = F
=
= 99 k W
RF + RG 10 M W + 100 k W
(5)
Now the noise of the resistors can be calculated using Equation 6, yielding:
enr = 4kTReq
= 4 ´ 1.38 ´ 10-23 J/K ´ 298K ´ 99 k W
= 40 nV/ Hz
(6)
The total noise at the input of the op amp is calculated in Equation 7:
en in = env 2 + enr 2
= (20 nV/ Hz )2 + (40 nV/ Hz )2 = 45 nV/ Hz
(7)
For the first example, this input noise, multiplied with the noise gain, in Equation 8 gives a total output noise of:
en out = en in ´ Anoise
= 45 nV/ Hz ´ 101 = 4.5 mV/ Hz
(8)
In the second example, with a resistor RF of 10 kΩ and a resistor RG of 100 Ω at 25°C (298 K), the equivalent
resistance equals Equation 9:
R ´ RG 10 k W ´ 100 W
Req = F
=
= 99 W

Device Functional Modes (continued)
enr = 4kTReq
= 4 ´ 1.38 ´ 10-23 J/K ´ 298 K ´ 99 W
= 1 nV/ Hz
(10)
The total noise at the input of the op amp is calculated in Equation 10:
en in = env 2 + enr 2
= (20 nV/ Hz )2 + (1 nV/ Hz )2
= 20 nV/ Hz
(11)
For the second example the input noise, multiplied with the noise gain, in Equation 12 gives an output noise of:
en out = en in ´ Anoise
= 20 nV/ Hz ´ 101 = 2 mV/ Hz
(12)
In the first example the noise is dominated by the resistor noise due to the very high resistor values, in the
second example the very low resistor values add only a negligible contribution to the noise and now the
dominating factor is the op amp itself. When selecting the resistor values, it is important to choose values that do
not add extra noise to the application. Choosing values above 100 kΩ may increase the noise too much. Low
values keep the noise within acceptable levels; choosing very low values however, does not make the noise
even lower, but can increase the current of the circuit.
7.5 Interfacing to High Impedance Sensor
With CMOS inputs, the LMV84x are particularly suited to be used as high impedance sensor interfaces.
Many sensors have high source impedances that may range up to 10 MΩ. The input bias current of an amplifier
loads the output of the sensor, and thus cause a voltage drop across the source resistance, as shown in
Figure 37. When an op amp is selected with a relatively high input bias current, this error may be unacceptable.
The low input current of the LMV84x significantly reduces such errors. The following examples show the
difference between a standard op amp input and the CMOS input of the LMV84x.
The voltage at the input of the op amp can be calculated with Equation 13:
VIN+ = VS – IB × RS
(13)
For a standard op amp, the input bias Ib can be 10 nA. When the sensor generates a signal of 1 V (VS) and the
sensors impedance is 10 MΩ (RS), the signal at the op amp input is calculated in Equation 14:
VIN = 1 V – 10 nA × 10 MΩ = 1 V - 0.1 V = 0.9 V
(14)
For the CMOS input of the LMV84x, which has an input bias current of only 0.3 pA, this would give Equation 15:
VIN = 1 V – 0.3 pA × 10 MΩ = 1 V – 3 µV = 0.999997 V
(15)
The conclusion is that a standard op amp, with its high input bias current input, is not a good choice for use in
impedance sensor applications. The LMV84x devices, in contrast, are much more suitable due to the low input
bias current. The error is negligibly small; therefore, the LMV84x are a must for use with high-impedance
sensors.

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
The rail-to-rail input and output of the LMV84x and the wide supply voltage range make these amplifiers ideal to
use in numerous applications. Three sample applications, namely the active filter circuit, high-side current
sensing, and thermocouple sensor interface, are provided in the Typical Applications section.

8.2.1.1 Design Requirements
In this example it is required to design a bandpass filter with band-pass frequency of 10 kHz, and a center
frequence of approximately 10% from the total frequence of the filter. This is achieved by cascading two bandpass filters, A and B, with slightly different center frequencies.
8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The center frequency of the separate band-pass filters A, and B can be calculated by Equation 16:
fmid =
R1 + R3

where
•

•
•
C = 33 nF
R1 = 2 KΩ
R2 = 6.2 KΩ
and R3 = 45 Ω
(16)
This gives Equation 17 for filter A:
fmid =
1
p ´ 33 nF
2 k W + 6.2 k W
= 9.2 kHz
2 k W ´ 6.2 k W ´ 45 k W
(17)
and Equation 18 for filter B with C = 27nF:
fmid =
1
p ´ 27 nF
2 k W + 6.2 k W
= 11.2 kHz
2 k W ´ 6.2 k W ´ 45 k W
(18)
Bandwidth can be calculated by Equation 19:

8.2.1.3 Application Curve
The responses of filter A and filter B are shown as the thin lines in Figure 39; the response of the combined filter
is shown as the thick line. Shifting the center frequencies of the separate filters farther apart, results in a wider
band; however, positioning the center frequencies too far apart results in a less flat gain within the band. For
wider bands more band-pass filters can be cascaded.

Typical Applications (continued)
8.2.2.1 Design Requirements
In this example, it is desired to measure a current between 0 A and 2 A using a sense resistor of 100 mΩ, and
convert it to an output voltage of 0 to 5 V. A current of 2 A flowing through the load and the sense resistor results
in a voltage of 200 mV across the sense resistor. The op amp amplifies this 200 mV to fit the current range to the
output voltage range.
8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
To measure current at a point in a circuit, a sense resistor is placed in series with the load, as shown in
Figure 40. The current flowing through this sense resistor results in a voltage drop, that is amplified by the op
amp. The rail-to-rail input and the low VOS features make the LMV84x ideal op amps for high-side, currentsensing applications.
The input and the output relation of the circuit is given by Equation 22:
VOUT = RF/RG × VSENSE
(22)
For a load current of 2 A and an output voltage of 5 V the gain would be VOUT / VSENSE = 25.
If the feedback resistor, RF, is 100 kΩ, then the value for RG is 4 kΩ. The tolerance of the resistors has to be low
to obtain a good common-mode rejection.
8.2.3 Thermocouple Sensor Signal Amplification
Figure 41 is a typical example for a thermocouple amplifier application using an LMV841, LMV842, or LMV844. A
thermocouple senses a temperature and converts it into a voltage. This signal is then amplified by the LMV841,
LMV842, or LMV844. An ADC can then convert the amplified signal to a digital signal. For further processing the
digital signal can be processed by a microprocessor, and can be used to display or log the temperature, or the
temperature data can be used in a fabrication process.

8.2.3.1 Design Requirements
In this example it is desired to measure temperature in the range of 0°C to 500°C with a resolution of 0.5°C using
a K-type thermocouple sensor. The power supply for both the LMV84x and the ADC is
3.3 V.
8.2.3.2 Detailed Design Procedure
A thermocouple is a junction of two different metals. These metals produce a small voltage that increases with
temperature. A K-type thermocouple is a very common temperature sensor made of a junction between nickelchromium and nickel-aluminum. There are several reasons for using the K-type thermocouple. These include
temperature range, the linearity, the sensitivity, and the cost.

Typical Applications (continued)
A K-type thermocouple has a wide temperature range. The range of this thermocouple is from approximately
−200°C to approximately 1200°C, as can be seen in Figure 42. This covers the generally used temperature
ranges.
Over the main part of the range the behavior is linear. This is important for converting the analog signal to a
digital signal. The K-type thermocouple has good sensitivity when compared to many other types; the sensitivity
is 41 µV/°C. Lower sensitivity requires more gain and makes the application more sensitive to noise. In addition,
a K-type thermocouple is not expensive, many other thermocouples consist of more expensive materials or are
more difficult to produce.

TEMPERATURE (°C)
Figure 42. K-Type Thermocouple Response
The temperature range of 0°C to 500°C results in a voltage range from 0 mV to 20.6 mV produced by the
thermocouple. This is shown in Figure 42.
To obtain the best accuracy the full ADC range of 0 to 3.3 V is used and the gain needed for this full range can
be calculated Equation 23:
AV = 3.3 V / 0.0206 V = 160
(23)
If RG is 2 kΩ, then the value for RF can be calculated with this gain of 160. Because AV = RF / RG, RF can be
calculated in Equation 24:
RF = AV × RG = 160 × 2 kΩ = 320 kΩ
(24)
To achieve a resolution of 0.5°C a step smaller than the minimum resolution is needed. This means that at least
1000 steps are necessary (500°C/0.5°C). A 10-bit ADC would be sufficient as this gives 1024 steps. A 10-bit
ADC such as the two channel 10-bit ADC102S021 would be a good choice.
At the point where the thermocouple wires are connected to the circuit on the PCB unwanted parasitic
thermocouple is formed, introducing error in the measurements of the actual thermocouple sensor.
Using an isothermal block as a reference will compensate for this additional thermocouple effect. An isothermal
block is a good heat conductor. This means that the two thermocouple connections both have the same
temperature. The temperature of the isothermal block can be measured, and thereby the temperature of the
thermocouple connections. This is usually called the cold junction reference temperature. In the example, an
LM35 is used to measure this temperature. This semiconductor temperature sensor can accurately measure
temperatures from −55°C to 150°C.
The ADC in this example also coverts the signal from the LM35 to a digital signal, hence, the microprocessor can
compensate for the amplified thermocouple signal of the unwanted thermocouple junction at the connector.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LMV84x is specified for operation from 2.7 V to 12 V (±1.35 V to ±6 V) over a –40°C to 125°C temperature
range. Parameters that can exhibit significant variance with regard to operating voltage or temperature are
presented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
CAUTION
Supply voltages larger than 13.2 V can permanently damage the device.
For proper operation, the power supplies must be properly decoupled. For decoupling the supply lines, TI
suggests placing 10-nF capacitors as close as possible to the operational amplifier power supply pins. For single
supply, place a capacitor between V+ and V– supply leads. For dual supplies, place one capacitor between V+
and ground, and one capacitor between V– and ground.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
•
•
•
•
•
The V+ pin must be bypassed to ground with a low-ESR capacitor.
The optimum placement is closest to the V+ and ground pins.
Take care to minimize the loop area formed by the bypass capacitor connection between V+ and ground.
The ground pin must be connected to the PCB ground plane at the pin of the device.
The feedback components must be placed as close to the device as possible to minimize strays.
