ALD1701A/ALD1701B
ALD1701/ALD1701G
MICROPOWER RAIL-TO-RAIL CMOS OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ALD1701 is a monolithic CMOS micropower high slew rate operational
amplifier intended for a broad range of analog applications using
±1V
to
±6V
dual power supply systems, as well as +2V to +12V battery operated
systems. All device characteristics are specified for +5V single supply or
±2.5V
dual supply systems. Supply current is 250µA maximum at 5V
supply voltage. It is manufactured with Advanced Linear Devices' en-
hanced ACMOS silicon gate CMOS process.
The ALD1701 is designed to offer a trade-off of performance parameters
providing a wide range of desired specifications. It offers the popular
industry standard pin configuration of
µA741
and ICL7611 types.
The ALD1701 has been developed specifically for the +5V single supply or
±1V
to
±6V
dual supply user. Several important characteristics of the
device make application easier to implement at those voltages.
First, the 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 the positive and negative supply voltages. This feature allows
numerous analog serial stages and flexibility in input signal bias levels.
Secondly, the device was designed to accommodate mixed applications
where digital and analog circuits may operate off the same power supply
or battery. Thirdly, 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 0.5mW, low offset voltage and tempera-
ture drift, make the ALD1701 a versatile, micropower operational amplifier.
The ALD1701, designed and fabricated with silicon gate CMOS techno-
logy, offers 1pA typical input bias current. On chip offset voltage trimming
allows the device to be used without nulling in most applications.

Design & Operating Notes:
1. The ALD1701 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 opera-
tional amplifier. The ALD1701 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 ALD1701 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 compa-
tibility 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 ALD1701 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 excur-
sions 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 10
12
Ω
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 transis-
tors 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 ALD1701 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 ALD1701, with its micropower operation, offers numerous
benefits in reduced power supply requirements, less noise coupling
and current spikes, less thermally induced drift, better overall reli-
ability 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 0.1°C above ambient temperature under most operating condi-
tions.
