CMOS Quad Operational Amplifier
General Description
The LMC660 CMOS Quad operational amplifier is ideal for
operation from a single supply. It operates from +5V to
+15.5V and features rail-to-rail output swing in addition to an
input common-mode range that includes ground. Perfor-
mance limitations that have plagued CMOS amplifiers in the
past are not a problem with this design. Input V
OS
, drift, and
broadband noise as well as voltage gain into realistic loads
(2 kand 600) are all equal to or better than widely
accepted bipolar equivalents.
This chip is built with National’s advanced Double-Poly
Silicon-Gate CMOS process.
See the LMC662 datasheet for a dual CMOS operational
amplifier with these same features.

AMPLIFIER TOPOLOGY
The topology chosen for the LMC660, shown in Figure 1,is
unconventional (compared to general-purpose op amps) in
that the traditional unity-gain buffer output stage is not used;
instead, the output is taken directly from the output of the
integrator, to allow rail-to-rail output swing. Since the buffer
traditionally delivers the power to the load, while maintaining
high op amp gain and stability, and must withstand shorts to
either rail, these tasks now fall to the integrator.
As a result of these demands, the integrator is a compound
affair with an embedded gain stage that is doubly fed forward
(via C
f
and C
ff
) by a dedicated unity-gain compensation
driver. In addition, the output portion of the integrator is a
push-pull configuration for delivering heavy loads. While
sinking current the whole amplifier path consists of three
gain stages with one stage fed forward, whereas while
sourcing the path contains four gain stages with two fed
forward.
The large signal voltage gain while sourcing is comparable
to traditional bipolar op amps, even with a 600load. The
gain while sinking is higher than most CMOS op amps, due
to the additional gain stage; however, under heavy load
(600) the gain will be reduced as indicated in the Electrical
Characteristics. Avoid resistive loads of less than 500,as
they may cause instability.
COMPENSATING INPUT CAPACITANCE
The high input resistance of the LMC660 op amps allows the
use of large feedback and source resistor values without
losing gain accuracy due to loading. However, the circuit will
be especially sensitive to its layout when these large-value
resistors are used.
Every amplifier has some capacitance between each input
and AC ground, and also some differential capacitance be-
tween the inputs. When the feedback network around an
amplifier is resistive, this input capacitance (along with any
additional capacitance due to circuit board traces, the
socket, etc.) and the feedback resistors create a pole in the
feedback path. In the following General Operational Amplifier
circuit,Figure 2 the frequency of this pole is
where C
S
is the total capacitance at the inverting input,
including amplifier input capacitance and any stray capaci-
tance from the IC socket (if one is used), circuit board traces,
etc., and R
P
is the parallel combination of R
F
and R
IN
. This
formula, as well as all formulae derived below, apply to
inverting and non-inverting op amp configurations.
When the feedback resistors are smaller than a few k, the
frequency of the feedback pole will be quite high, since C
S
is
generally less than 10 pF. If the frequency of the feedback
pole is much higher than the “ideal” closed-loop bandwidth
(the nominal closed-loop bandwidth in the absence of C
S
),
the pole will have a negligible effect on stability, as it will add
only a small amount of phase shift.
However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately 6 to
10 times the “ideal” −3 dB frequency, a feedback capacitor,
C
F
, should be connected between the output and the invert-
ing input of the op amp. This condition can also be stated in
terms of the amplifier’s low-frequency noise gain: To main-
tain stability a feedback capacitor will probably be needed if
where
is the amplifier’s low-frequency noise gain and GBW is the
amplifier’s gain bandwidth product. An amplifier’s low-
frequency noise gain is represented by the formula
regardless of whether the amplifier is being used in inverting
or non-inverting mode. Note that a feedback capacitor is
more likely to be needed when the noise gain is low and/or
the feedback resistor is large.
If the above condition is met (indicating a feedback capacitor
will probably be needed), and the noise gain is large enough
that:
the following value of feedback capacitor is recommended:
If
the feedback capacitor should be:

Application Hints (Continued)
Note that these capacitor values are usually significant
smaller than those given by the older, more conservative
formula:
Using the smaller capacitors will give much higher band-
width with little degradation of transient response. It may be
necessary in any of the above cases to use a somewhat
larger feedback capacitor to allow for unexpected stray ca-
pacitance, or to tolerate additional phase shifts in the loop, or
excessive capacitive load, or to decrease the noise or band-
width, or simply because the particular circuit implementa-
tion needs more feedback capacitance to be sufficiently
stable. For example, a printed circuit board’s stray capaci-
tance may be larger or smaller than the breadboard’s, so the
actual optimum value for C
F
may be different from the one
estimated using the breadboard. In most cases, the values
of C
F
should be checked on the actual circuit, starting with
the computed value.
CAPACITIVE LOAD TOLERANCE
Like many other op amps, the LMC660 may oscillate when
its applied load appears capacitive. The threshold of oscilla-
tion varies both with load and circuit gain. The configuration
most sensitive to oscillation is a unity-gain follower. See
Typical Performance Characteristics.
The load capacitance interacts with the op amp’s output
resistance to create an additional pole. If this pole frequency
is sufficiently low, it will degrade the op amp’s phase margin
so that the amplifier is no longer stable at low gains. As
shown in Figure 3, the addition of a small resistor (50to
100) in series with the op amp’s output, and a capacitor (5
pF to 10 pF) from inverting input to output pins, returns the
phase margin to a safe value without interfering with lower-
frequency circuit operation. Thus larger values of capaci-
tance can be tolerated without oscillation. Note that in all
cases, the output will ring heavily when the load capacitance
is near the threshold for oscillation.
Capacitive load driving capability is enhanced by using a pull
up resistor to V
+
(Figure 4). Typically a pull up resistor
conducting 500 µA or more will significantly improve capaci-
tive load responses. The value of the pull up resistor must be
determined based on the current sinking capability of the
amplifier with respect to the desired output swing. Open loop
gain of the amplifier can also be affected by the pull up
resistor (see Electrical Characteristics).
PRINTED-CIRCUIT-BOARD LAYOUT
FOR HIGH-IMPEDANCE WORK
It is generally recognized that any circuit which must operate
with less than 1000 pA of leakage current requires special
layout of the PC board. When one wishes to take advantage
of the ultra-low bias current of the LMC662, typically less
than 0.04 pA, it is essential to have an excellent layout.
Fortunately, the techniques for obtaining low leakages are
quite simple. First, the user must not ignore the surface
leakage of the PC board, even though it 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 LMC660’s inputs and the
terminals of capacitors, diodes, conductors, resistors, relay
terminals, etc. connected to the op amp’s inputs. SeeFigure
5. To have a significant effect, guard rings should be placed
on both the top and bottom of the PC board. This PC foil
must then be connected to a voltage which is at the same
voltage as the amplifier inputs, since no leakage current can
flow between two points at the same potential. For example,
a PC board trace-to-pad resistance of 10
12
, which is nor-
mally considered a very large resistance, could leak 5 pA if
the trace were a 5V bus adjacent to the pad of an input. This
would cause a 100 times degradation from the LMC660’s
actual performance. However, if a guard ring is held within
5 mV of the inputs, then even a resistance of 10
11
would

cause only 0.05 pA of leakage current, or perhaps a minor
(2:1) degradation of the amplifier’s performance. See Figure
6a,Figure 6b,Figure 6c for typical connections of guard rings
for standard op amp configurations. If both inputs are active
and at high impedance, the guard can be tied to ground and
still provide some protection; see Figure 6d.
The designer should be aware that when it is inappropriate
to lay out a PC board for the sake of just a few circuits, there
is another technique which is even better than a guard ring
on a PC board: Don’t insert the amplifier’s input pin into the
board at all, but bend it 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 PC board con-
struction, but the advantages are sometimes well worth the
effort of using point-to-point up-in-the-air wiring. See Figure
7.

with the LM324 and offers greater bandwidth and input
resistance over the LM324. These features will improve the
performance of many existing single-supply applications.

is smaller than that of the LM324.
