7 / 16 page OP179/OP279 –7– REV. G In order to achieve rail-to-rail output behavior, the OP179/OP279 design employs a complementary common-emitter (or gmRL) output stage (Q15-Q16), as illustrated in Figure 2. These amplifiers provide output current until they are forced into saturation, which occurs at approximately 50 mV from either supply rail. Thus, their saturation voltage is the limit on the maximum output voltage swing in the OP179/OP279. The output stage also exhibits voltage gain, by virtue of the use of common-emitter amplifiers; and, as a result, the voltage gain of the output stage (thus, the open-loop gain of the device) exhib- its a strong dependence to the total load resistance at the output of the OP179/OP279 as illustrated in TPC 7.

OP179/OP279 Equivalent Output Circuit Input Overvoltage Protection As with any semiconductor device, whenever the condition exists for the input to exceed either supply voltage, the device’s input overvoltage characteristic must be considered. When an overvoltage occurs, the amplifier could be damaged, depending on the magnitude of the applied voltage and the magnitude of the fault current. Figure 3 illustrates the input overvoltage char- acteristic of the OP179/OP279. This graph was generated with the power supplies at ground and a curve tracer connected to the input. As can be seen, when the input voltage exceeds either supply by more than 0.6 V, internal pn-junctions energize, which allows current to flow from the input to the supplies. As illustrated in the simplified equivalent input circuit (Figure 1), the OP179/OP279 does not have any internal current limiting resistors, so fault currents can quickly rise to damaging levels. This input current is not inherently damaging to the device as long as it is limited to 5 mA or less. For the OP179/OP279, once the input voltage exceeds the supply by more than 0.6 V, the input current quickly exceeds 5 mA. If this condition continues to exist, an external series resistor should be added. The size of the resistor is calculated by dividing the maximum overvoltage by 5 mA. For example, if the input voltage could reach 100 V, the external resistor should be (100 V/5 mA) = 20 k Ω. This resis- tance should be placed in series with either or both inputs if they are exposed to an overvoltage. Again, in order to ensure optimum dc and ac performance, it is important to balance source imped- ance levels. For more information on general overvoltage charac- teristics of amplifiers refer to the 1993 Seminar Applications Guide, available from the Analog Devices Literature Center. 5 –3 –5 –2.0 –4 1 –2 –1 2 3 4 2.0 1.0 0 –1.0 0 INPUT VOLTAGE – V Figure 3. OP179/OP279 Input Overvoltage Characteristic Output Phase Reversal Some operational amplifiers designed for single-supply operation exhibit an output voltage phase reversal when their inputs are driven beyond their useful common-mode range. Typically for single-supply bipolar op amps, the negative supply determines the lower limit of their common-mode range. With these devices, external clamping diodes, with the anode connected to ground and the cathode to the inputs, input signal excursions are pre- vented from exceeding the device’s negative supply (i.e., GND), preventing a condition that could cause the output voltage to change phase. JFET input amplifiers may also exhibit phase reversal and, if so, a series input resistor is usually required to prevent it. The OP179/OP279 is free from reasonable input voltage range restrictions provided that input voltages no greater than the supply voltages are applied. Although the device’s output will not change phase, large currents can flow through the input protection diodes, shown in Figure 1. Therefore, the technique recommended in the Input Overvoltage Protection section should be applied in those applications where the likelihood of input voltages exceeding the supply voltages is possible. Capacitive Load Drive The OP179/OP279 has excellent capacitive load driving capa- bilities. It can drive up to 10 nF directly as the performance graph titled Small Signal Overshoot vs. Load Capacitance (TPC 18) shows. However, even though the device is stable, a capacitive load does not come without a penalty in bandwidth. As shown in Figure 4, the bandwidth is reduced to under 1 MHz for loads greater than 3 nF. A “snubber” network on the output will not increase the bandwidth, but it does significantly reduce the amount of overshoot for a given capacitive load. A snubber consists of a series R-C network (RS, CS), as shown in Figure 5, connected from the output of the device to ground. This net- work operates in parallel with the load capacitor, CL, to provide phase lag compensation. The actual value of the resistor and capacitor is best determined empirically. |
