GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ALD2706A/ALD2706B/ALD2706 is a dual monolithic CMOS
micropower high slew-rate operational amplifier intended for a broad range
of analog applications using ±1V to ±5V dual power supply systems, as
well as +2V to +10V battery operated systems. All device characteristics
are specified for +5V single supply or ±2.5V dual supply systems. Supply
current is 80µA maximum at 5V supply voltage. It is manufactured with
Advanced Linear Devices' enhanced A CMOS silicon gate CMOS process.
The ALD2706A/ALD2706B/ALD2706 is designed to offer a trade-off of
performance parameters providing a wide range of desired specifications.
It has been developed specifically for the +5V single supply or ±1V to ±5V
dual supply user and offers the popular industry standard pin configuration.
Several important characteristics of the device make application easier to
implement at those voltages. First, each 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. Second, each device was designed to
accommodate mixed applications where digital and analog circuits may
operate off the same power supply or battery. Third, the output stage can
typically drive up to 25pF capacitive and 20K resistive loads. These
features, combined with extremely low input currents, high open loop
voltage gain of 100V/mV , useful bandwidth of 200KHz, a slew rate of 0.1V/
µs, low offset voltage and temperature drift, make the ALD2706A/
ALD2706B/ALD2706 a versatile, micropower dual operational amplifier.
A typical ALD2706A/ALD2706B/ALD2706 has the capacity to process a
0.998V amplitude analog signal with only 1.000V single supply voltage,
while requiring only 0.1pA input bias current. Additionally, robust design
and rigorous screening make this device especially suitable for operation
in temperature-extreme environments and rugged conditions.

Design & Operating Notes:
1. The ALD2706A/ALD2706B/ALD2706 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 operational amplifier. The
ALD2706A/ALD2706B/ALD2706 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 ALD2706A/ALD2706B/ALD2706 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 compatibility 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 ALD2706A/ALD2706B/ALD2706 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
excursions 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 1012 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
transistors 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 ALD2706A/ALD2706B/ALD2706 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 to not
exceed 0.3V of the power supply voltage levels.
6. The ALD2706A/ALD2706B/ALD2706, with its micropower operation,
offers numerous benefits in reduced power supply requirements,
less noise coupling and current spikes, less thermally induced drift,
better overall reliability 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 conditions.
