This makes them ideal for providing wideband amplification in portable applications. Low Input Referred Noise and Low Input Bias Current The LMV796/LMV797 have a very low input referred voltage at 1 kHz). A CMOS input stage ennoise density (5.8 nV/ sures a small input bias current (100 fA) and low input referred current noise (0.01 pA/ ). This is very helpful in maintaining signal fidelity, and makes the LMV796 and LMV797 ideal for audio and sensor based applications. 20183561 FIGURE 1. Isolation of CL to Improve Stability Low Supply Voltage The LMV796 and the LMV797 have performance guaranteed at 2.5V and 5V supply. The LMV796 family is guaranteed to be operational at all supply voltages between 2.0V and 5.5V, for ambient temperatures ranging from -40C to 125C, thus utilizing the entire battery lifetime. The LMV796 and LMV797 are also guaranteed to be operational at 1.8V supply voltage, for temperatures between 0C and 125C. This makes the LMV796 family ideal for usage in low-voltage commercial applications. INPUT CAPACITANCE AND FEEDBACK CIRCUIT ELEMENTS The LMV796 family has a very low input bias current (100 fA) and a low 1/f noise corner frequency (400 Hz), which makes it ideal for sensor applications. However, to obtain this performance a large CMOS input stage is used, which adds to the input capacitance of the op amp, CIN. Though this does not affect the DC and low frequency performance, at higher frequencies the input capacitance interacts with the input and the feedback impedances to create a pole, which results in lower phase margin and gain peaking. This can be controlled by being selective in the use of feedback resistors, as well as, by using a feedback capacitance, CF. For example, in the inverting amplifier shown in Figure 2, if CIN and CF are ignored and the open loop gain of the op amp is considered infinite then the gain of the circuit is -R2/R1. An op amp, however, usually has a dominant pole, which causes its gain to drop with frequency. Hence, this gain is only valid for DC and low frequency. To understand the effect of the input capacitance coupled with the non-ideal gain of the op amp, the circuit needs to be analyzed in the frequency domain using a Laplace transform. RRO and Ground Sensing Rail-to-rail output swing provides maximum possible dynamic range at the output. This is particularly important when operating at low supply voltages. An innovative positive feedback scheme is used to boost the current drive capability of the output stage. This allows the LMV796 and the LMV797 to source more than 40 mA of current at 1.8V supply. This also limits the performance of the LMV796 family as comparators, and hence the usage of the LMV796 and the LMV797 in an open-loop configuration is not recommended. The input common-mode range includes the negative supply rail which allows direct sensing at ground in single supply operation. Small Size The small footprint of the LMV796 and the LMV797 package saves space on printed circuit boards, and enables the design of smaller electronic products, such as cellular phones, pagers, or other portable systems. Long traces between the signal source and the op amp make the signal path susceptible to noise. By using the physically smaller LMV796 or LMV797 package, the op amp can be placed closer to the signal source, reducing noise pickup and increasing signal integrity. CAPACITIVE LOAD TOLERANCE The LMV796 and LMV797 can directly drive 120 pF in unitygain without oscillation. The unity-gain follower is the most sensitive configuration to capacitive loading. Direct capacitive loading reduces the phase margin of amplifiers. The combination of the amplifier's output impedance and the capacitive load induces phase lag. This results in either an underdamped pulse response or oscillation. To drive a heavier capacitive load, the circuit in Figure 1 can be used. 20183564 FIGURE 2. Inverting Amplifier 13 www.national.com LMV796/LMV796Q/LMV797 In Figure 1, the isolation resistor RISO and the load capacitor CL form a pole to increase stability by adding more phase margin to the overall system. The desired performance depends on the value of RISO. The bigger the RISO resistor value, the more stable VOUT will be. Increased RISO would, however, result in a reduced output swing and short circuit current. Application Information LMV796/LMV796Q/LMV797 For simplicity, the op amp is modeled as an ideal integrator with a unity gain frequency of A0 . Hence, its transfer function (or gain) in the frequency domain is A0/s. Solving the circuit equations in the frequency domain, ignoring CF for the moment, results in an expression for the gain shown in Equation 1. (1) It can be inferred from the denominator of the transfer function that it has two poles, whose expressions can be obtained by solving for the roots of the denominator and are shown in Equation 2. 20183560 FIGURE 4. Gain Peaking Eliminated by CF (2) AUDIO PREAMPLIFIER WITH BAND PASS FILTERING With low input referred voltage noise, low supply voltage and current, and a low harmonic distortion, the LMV796 family is ideal for audio applications. Its wide unity gain bandwidth allows it to provide large gain for a wide range of frequencies and it can be used to design a preamplifier to drive a load of as low as 600 with less than 0.01% distortion. Two amplifier circuits are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6. Figure 5 is an inverting amplifier, with a 10 k feedback resistor, R2, and a 1k input resistor, R1, and hence provides a gain of -10. Figure 6 is a non-inverting amplifier, using the same values of R1and R2, and provides a gain of 11. In either of these circuits, the coupling capacitor CC1 decides the lower frequency at which the circuit starts providing gain, while the feedback capacitor CF decides the frequency at which the gain starts dropping off. Figure 7 shows the frequency response of the inverting amplifier with different values of CF. Equation 2 shows that as the values of R1 and R2 are increased, the magnitude of the poles, and hence the bandwidth of the amplifier, is reduced. This theory is verified by using different values of R1 and R2 in the circuit shown in Figure 1 and by comparing their frequency responses. In Figure 3 the frequency responses for three different values of R1 and R2 are shown. When both R1 and R2 are 1 k, the response is flattest and widest; whereas, it narrows and peaks significantly when both their values are changed to 10 k or 30 k. So it is advisable to use lower values of R1 and R2 to obtain a wider and flatter response. Lower resistances also help in high sensitivity circuits since they add less noise. 20183559 FIGURE 3. Gain Peaking Caused by Large R1, R2 20183565 A way of reducing the gain peaking is by adding a feedback capacitance CF in parallel with R2. This introduces another pole in the system and prevents the formation of pairs of complex conjugate poles which cause the gain to peak. Figure 4 shows the effect of CF on the frequency response of the circuit. Adding a capacitance of 2 pF removes the peak, while a capacitance of 5 pF creates a much lower pole and reduces the bandwidth excessively. www.national.com FIGURE 5. Inverting Audio Preamplifier 14 20183566 FIGURE 6. Non-inverting Audio Preamplifier 20183569 FIGURE 8. Photodiode Transimpedance Amplifier As mentioned earlier, the following parameters are used to design a transimpedance amplifier: the amplifier gain-bandwidth product, A0; the amplifier input capacitance, CCM; the photodiode capacitance, CD; the transimpedance gain required, RF; and the amplifier output swing. Once a feasible RF is selected using the amplifier output swing, these numbers can be used to design an amplifier with the desired transimpedance gain and a maximally flat frequency response. An essential component for obtaining a maximally flat response is the feedback capacitor, CF. The capacitance seen at the input of the amplifier, CIN, combined with the feedback capacitor, RF, generate a phase lag which causes gain-peaking and can destabilize the circuit. CIN is usually just the sum of CD and CCM. The feedback capacitor CF creates a pole, fP in the noise gain of the circuit, which neutralizes the zero in the noise gain, fZ, created by the combination of RF and CIN. If properly positioned, the noise gain pole created by CF can ensure that the slope of the gain remains at 20 dB/decade till the unity gain frequency of the amplifier is reached, thus ensuring stability. As shown in Figure 9, fP is positioned such that it coincides with the point where the noise gain intersects the op amp's open loop gain. In this case, fP is also the overall -3 dB frequency of the transimpedance amplifier. The value of CF needed to make it so is given by Equation 3. A larger value of CF causes excessive reduction of bandwidth, while a smaller value fails to prevent gain peaking and instability. 20183558 FIGURE 7. Frequency Response of the Inverting Audio Preamplifier TRANSIMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER CMOS input op amps are often used in transimpedance applications as they have an extremely high input impedance. A transimpedance amplifier converts a small input current into a voltage. This current is usually generated by a photodiode. The transimpedance gain, measured as the ratio of the output voltage to the input current, is expected to be large and wideband. Since the circuit deals with currents in the range of a few nA, low noise performance is essential. The LMV796/ LMV797 are CMOS input op amps providing wide bandwidth and low noise performance, and are hence ideal for transimpedance applications. Usually, a transimpedance amplifier is designed on the basis of the current source driving the input. A photodiode is a very common capacitive current source, which requires transimpedance gain for transforming its miniscule current into easily detectable voltages. The photodiode and the amplifier's gain are selected with respect to the speed and accuracy required of the circuit. A faster circuit would require a photodiode with lesser capacitance and a faster amplifier. A more sensitive circuit would require a sensitive photodiode and a high gain. A typical transimpedance amplifier is shown in Figure 8. The output voltage of the amplifier is given by the equation VOUT = -IINRF. Since the output swing of the amplifier is limited, RF should be selected such that all possible values of IIN can be detected. (3) 15 www.national.com LMV796/LMV796Q/LMV797 The LMV796/LMV797 have a large gain-bandwidth product (17 MHz), which enables high gains at wide bandwidths. A rail-to-rail output swing at 5.5V supply allows detection and amplification of a wide range of input currents. A CMOS input stage with negligible input current noise and low input voltage noise allows the LMV796/LMV797 to provide high fidelity amplification for wide bandwidths. These properties make the LMV796/LMV797 ideal for systems requiring wide-band transimpedance amplification. LMV796/LMV796Q/LMV797 feedback capacitances are slightly different from the formula in Equation 3, since the parasitic capacitance of the board and the feedback resistor RF had to be accounted for.

CF Selection for Stability Calculating CF from Equation 3 can sometimes return unreasonably small values (<1 pF), especially for high speed applications. In these cases, it is often more practical to use the circuit shown in Figure 10 in order to allow more reasonable values. In this circuit, the capacitance CF is (1+ RB/RA) times the effective feedback capacitance, CF. A larger capacitor can now be used in this circuit to obtain a smaller effective capacitance. For example, if a CF of 0.5 pF is needed, while only a 5 pF capacitor is available, RB and RA can be selected such that RB/RA = 9. This would convert a CF of 5 pF into a CF of 0.5 pF. This relationship holds as long as RA << RF. 20183577 FIGURE 11. Frequency Response for ATI = 470000 20183571 FIGURE 10. Obtaining Small CF from Large CF LMV796 AS A TRANSIMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER The LMV796 was used in the designs for a number of amplifiers with varying transimpedance gains and source capacitances. The gains, bandwidths and feedback capacitances of the circuits created are summarized in Table 1. The frequency responses are presented in Figure 11 and Figure 12. The www.national.com 20183578 FIGURE 12. Frequency Response for ATI = 47000 16 20183572 FIGURE 15. IR Radiation Sensor 20183586 FIGURE 13. 1.5 MHz Transimpedance Amplifier with ATI = 470000 20183579 FIGURE 14. 1.5 MHz Transimpedance Amplifier Frequency Response 17 www.national.com LMV796/LMV796Q/LMV797 SENSOR INTERFACES The low input bias current and low input referred noise of the LMV796 and LMV797 make them ideal for sensor interfaces. These circuits are required to sense voltages of the order of a few V and currents amounting to less than a nA hence, the op amp needs to have low voltage noise and low input bias current. Typical applications include infra-red (IR) thermometry, thermocouple amplifiers and pH electrode buffers. Figure 15 is an example of a typical circuit used for measuring IR radiation intensity, often used for estimating the temperature of an object from a distance. The IR sensor generates a voltage proportional to I, which is the intensity of the IR radiation falling on it. As shown in Figure 15, K is the constant of proportionality relating the voltage across the IR sensor (VIN) to the radiation intensity, I. The resistances RA and RB are selected to provide a high gain to amplify this voltage, while CF is added to filter out the high frequency noise. HIGH GAIN WIDEBAND TRANSIMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER USING THE LMV797 The LMV797 dual, low noise, wide bandwidth, CMOS input op amp IC can be used for compact, robust and integrated solutions for sensing and amplifying wide-band signals obtained from sensitive photodiodes. One of the two op amps available can be used to obtain transimpedance gain while the other can be used for amplifying the output voltage to further enhance the transimpedance gain. The wide bandwidth of the op amps (17 MHz) ensures that they are capable of providing high gain for a wide range of frequencies. The low ) allows the amplifier to deinput referred noise (5.8 nV/ liver an output with a high SNR (signal to noise ratio). The small 8-pin MSOP footprint saves space on printed circuit boards and allows ease of design in portable products. The circuit shown in Figure 13, has the first op amp acting as a transimpedance amplifier with a gain of 47000, while the second stage provides a voltage gain of 10. This provides a total transimpedance gain of 470000 with a -3 dB bandwidth of about 1.5 MHz, for a total input capacitance of 50 pF.
