LMV321 / LMV358 / LMV324 Single/Dual/Quad
General Purpose, Low Voltage, Rail-to-Rail Output
Operational Amplifiers
General Description
The LMV358/324 are low voltage (2.7–5.5V) versions of the
dual and quad commodity op amps, LM358/324, which cur-
rently operate at 5–30V. The LMV321 is the single version.
The LMV321/358/324 are the most cost effective solutions
for the applications where low voltage operation, space sav-
ing and low price are needed. They offer specifications that
meet or exceed the familiar LM358/324. The
LMV321/358/324 have rail-to-rail output swing capability and
the input common-mode voltage range includes ground.
They all exhibit excellent speed-power ratio, achieving
1 MHz of bandwidth and 1 V/µs of slew rate with low supply
current.
The LMV321 is available in space saving SC70-5, which is
approximately half the size of SOT23-5. The small package
saves space on pc boards, and enables the design of small
portable electronic devices. It also allows the designer to
place the device closer to the signal source to reduce noise
pickup and increase signal integrity.
The chips are built with National’s advanced submicron
silicon-gate BiCMOS process. The LMV321/358/324 have
bipolar input and output stages for improved noise perfor-
mance and higher output current drive.

Application Notes
1.0 Benefits of the LMV321/358/324
Size. The small footprints of the LMV321/358/324 packages
save space on printed circuit boards, and enable the design
of smaller electronic products, such as cellular phones, pag-
ers, or other portable systems. The low profile of the
LMV321/358/324 make them possible to use in PCMCIA
type III cards.
Signal Integrity. Signals can pick up noise between the sig-
nal source and the amplifier. By using a physically smaller
amplifier package, the LMV321/358/324 can be placed
closer to the signal source, reducing noise pickup and in-
creasing signal integrity.
Simplified Board Layout. These products help you to avoid
using long pc traces in your pc board layout. This means that
no additional components, such as capacitors and resistors,
are needed to filter out the unwanted signals due to the inter-
ference between the long pc traces.
Low Supply Current. These devices will help you to maxi-
mize battery life. They are ideal for battery powered sys-
tems.
Low Supply Voltage. National provides guaranteed perfor-
mance at 2.7V and 5V. These guarantees ensure operation
throughout the battery lifetime.
Rail-to-Rail Output. Rail-to-rail output swing provides maxi-
mum possible dynamic range at the output. This is particu-
larly important when operating on low supply voltages.
Input Includes Ground. Allows direct sensing near GND in
single supply operation.
The differential input voltage may be larger than V
+
without
damaging the device. Protection should be provided to pre-
vent the input voltages from going negative more than −0.3V
(at 25˚C).An input clamp diode with a resistor to the IC input
terminal can be used.
Ease of Use & No Crossover Distortion. The LMV321/
358/324 offer specifications similar to the familiar LM324. In
addition, the new LMV321/358/324 effectively eliminate the
output crossover distortion. The scope photos in
Figure 1
and
Figure 2
compare the output swing of the LMV324 and
the LM324 in a voltage follower configuration, with V
S
=±
2.5V and R
L
(= 2kΩ) connected to GND. It is apparent that
the crossover distortion has been eliminated in the new
LMV324.
2.0 Capacitive Load Tolerance
The LMV321/358/324 can directly drive 200 pF in unity-gain
without oscillation. The unity-gain follower is the most sensi-
tive configuration to capacitive loading. Direct capacitive
loading reduces the phase margin of amplifiers. The combi-
nation of the amplifier’s output impedance and the capacitive
load induces phase lag. This results in either an under-
damped pulse response or oscillation. To drive a heavier ca-
pacitive load, circuit in
Figure 3
can be used.

Application Notes (Continued)
In
Figure 3
, the isolation resistor R
ISO
and the load capacitor
C
L
form a pole to increase stability by adding more phase
margin to the overall system. The desired performance de-
pends on the value of R
ISO
. The bigger the R
ISO
resistor
value, the more stable Vout will be.
Figure 4
is an output
waveform of
Figure 3
using 620Ωfor R
ISO
and 510 pF for
C
L.
.
The circuit in
Figure 5
is an improvement to the one in
Figure
3
because it provides DC accuracy as well as AC stability. If
there were a load resistor in
Figure 3
, the output would be
voltage divided by R
ISO
and the load resistor. Instead, in
Fig-
ure 5
,R
F
provides the DC accuracy by using feed-forward
techniques to connect V
IN
to R
L
. Caution is needed in choos-
ing the value of R
F
due to the input bias current of the
LMV321/358/324. C
F
and R
ISO
serve to counteract the loss
of phase margin by feeding the high frequency component of
the output signal back to the amplifier’s inverting input,
thereby preserving phase margin in the overall feedback
loop. Increased capacitive drive is possible by increasing the
value of C
F
. This in turn will slow down the pulse response.
3.0 Input Bias Current Cancellation
The LMV321/358/324 family has a bipolar input stage. The
typical input bias current of LMV321/358/324 is 15 nA with
5V supply. Thus a 100 kΩinput resistor will cause 1.5 mV of
error voltage. By balancing the resistor values at both invert-
ing and non-inverting inputs, the error caused by the ampli-
fier’s input bias current will be reduced. The circuit in
Figure
6
shows how to cancel the error caused by input bias
current.
4.0 Typical Single-Supply Application Circuits
4.1 Difference Amplifier
The difference amplifier allows the subtraction of two volt-
ages or, as a special case, the cancellation of a signal com-
mon to two inputs. It is useful as a computational amplifier, in
making a differential to single-ended conversion or in reject-
ing a common mode signal.

4.2 Instrumentation Circuits
The input impedance of the previous difference amplifier is
set by the resistors R
1
,R
2
,R
3
, and R
4
. To eliminate the
problems of low input impedance, one way is to use a volt-
age follower ahead of each input as shown in the following
two instrumentation amplifiers.
4.2.1 Three-op-amp Instrumentation Amplifier
The quad LMV324 can be used to build a three-op-amp in-
strumentation amplifier as shown in
Figure 8
.
The first stage of this instrumentation amplifier is a
differential-input, differential-output amplifier, with two volt-
age followers. These two voltage followers assure that the
input impedance is over 100 MΩ. The gain of this instrumen-
tation amplifier is set by the ratio of R
2
/R
1
.R
3
should equal
R
1
, and R
4
equal R
2
. Matching of R
3
to R
1
and R
4
to R
2
af-
fects the CMRR. For good CMRR over temperature, low drift
resistors should be used. Making R
4
slightly smaller than R
2
and adding a trim pot equal to twice the difference between
R
2
and R
4
will allow the CMRR to be adjusted for optimum.
4.2.2 Two-op-amp Instrumentation Amplifier
A two-op-amp instrumentation amplifier can also be used to
make a high-input-impedance dc differential amplifier (
Fig-
ure 9
) . As in the three-op-amp circuit, this instrumentation
amplifier requires precise resistor matching for good CMRR.
R4 should equal to R1 and R3 should equal R2.
4.3 Single-Supply Inverting Amplifier
There may be cases where the input signal going into the
amplifier is negative. Because the amplifier is operating in
single supply voltage, a voltage divider using R
3
and R
4
is
implemented to bias the amplifier so the input signal is within
the input common-mode voltage range of the amplifier. The
capacitor C
1
is placed between the inverting input and resis-
tor R
1
to block the DC signal going into theAC signal source,
V
IN
. The values of R
1
and C
1
affect the cutoff frequency, fc
= 1/2πR
1
C
1
.
As a result, the output signal is centered around mid-supply
(if the voltage divider provides V
+
/2 at the non-inverting in-
put). The output can swing to both rails, maximizing the
signal-to-noise ratio in a low voltage system.
4.4 Active Filter
4.4.1 Simple Low-Pass Active Filter
The simple low-pass filter is shown in
Figure 11
. Its low-
frequency gain (ω→0) is defined by -R
3
/R
1
. This allows low-
frequency gains other than unity to be obtained. The filter
has a -20dB/decade roll-off after its corner frequency fc. R
2
should be chosen equal to the parallel combination of R
1
and
R
3
to minimize errors due to bias current. The frequency re-
sponse of the filter is shown in
Figure 12
.

Application Notes (Continued)
Note that the single-op-amp active filters are used in to the
applications that require low quality factor, Q( ≤10), low fre-
quency (≤5 kHz), and low gain (≤10), or a small value for
the product of gain times Q (≤100). The op amp should have
an open loop voltage gain at the highest frequency of inter-
est at least 50 times larger than the gain of the filter at this
frequency. In addition, the selected op amp should have a
slew rate that meets the following requirement:
SlewRate ≥0.5x(ω
H
V
OPP
)x10
−6
V/µsec
where ω
H
is the highest frequency of interest, and V
opp
is the
output peak-to-peak voltage.

4.4.3 2nd-order High Pass Filter
A 2nd-order high pass filter can be built by simply inter-
changing those frequency selective components (R
1
,R
2
,
C
1
,C
2
) in the Sallen-Key 2nd-order active low pass filter. As
shown in
Figure 14
, resistors become capacitors, and ca-
pacitors become resistors. The resulted high pass filter has
the same corner frequency and the same maximum gain as
the previous 2nd-order low pass filter if the same compo-
nents are chosen.
4.4.4 State Variable Filter
A state variable filter requires three op amps. One conve-
nient way to build state variable filters is with a quad op amp,
such as the LMV324 (
Figure 15
).
This circuit can simultaneously represent a low-pass filter,
high-pass filter, and bandpass filter at three different outputs.
The equations for these functions are listed below. It is also
called ″Bi-Quad″active filter as it can produce a transfer
function which is quadratic in both numerator and
denominator.

A design example for a bandpass filter is shown below:
Assume the system design requires a bandpass filter with f
O
= 1 kHz and Q = 50. What needs to be calculated are capaci-
tor and resistor values.

4.5 Pulse Generators and Oscillators
A pulse generator is shown in
Figure 16
. Two diodes have
been used to separate the charge and discharge paths to ca-
pacitor C.
When the output voltage V
O
is first at its high, V
OH
, the ca-
pacitor C is charged toward V
OH
through R
2
. The voltage
across C rises exponentially with a time constant τ=R
2
C,
and this voltage is applied to the inverting input of the op
amp. Meanwhile, the voltage at the non-inverting input is set
at the positive threshold voltage (V
TH+
) of the generator. The
capacitor voltage continually increases until it reaches V
TH+
,
at which point the output of the generator will switch to its
low, V
OL
(=0V in this case). The voltage at the non-inverting
input is switched to the negative threshold voltage (V
TH-
)of
the generator. The capacitor then starts to discharge toward
V
OL
exponentially through R
1
, with a time constant τ=R
1
C.
When the capacitor voltage reaches V
TH-
, the output of the
pulse generator switches to V
OH
. The capacitor starts to
charge, and the cycle repeats itself.

Application Notes (Continued)
As shown in the waveforms in
Figure 17
, the pulse width (T
1
)
is set by R
2
, C and V
OH
, and the time between pulses (T
2
)is
set by R
1
, C and V
OL
. This pulse generator can be made to
have different frequencies and pulse width by selecting dif-
ferent capacitor value and resistor values.
Figure 18
shows another pulse generator, with separate
charge and discharge paths. The capacitor is charged
through R1 and is discharged through R
2
.
Figure 19
is a squarewave generator with the same path for
charging and discharging the capacitor.
4.6 Current Source and Sink
The LMV321/358/324 can be used in feedback loops which
regulate the current in external PNP transistors to provide
current sources or in external NPN transistors to provide cur-
rent sinks.
4.6.1 Fixed Current Source
A multiple fixed current source is show in
Figure 20
. A volt-
age (V
REF
= 2V) is established across resistor R
3
by the volt-
age divider (R
3
and R
4
). Negative feedback is used to cause
the voltage drop across R
1
to be equal to V
REF
. This controls
the emitter current of transistor Q
1
and if we neglect the base
current of Q
1
and Q
2
, essentially this same current is avail-
able out of the collector of Q
1
.
Large input resistors can be used to reduce current loss and
a Darlington connection can be used to reduce errors due to
the βof Q
1
.
The resistor, R
2
, can be used to scale the collector current of
Q
2
either above or below the 1 mA reference value.

4.6.2 High Compliance Current Sink
A current sink circuit is shown in
Figure 21
. The circuit re-
quires only one resistor (R
E
) and supplies an output current
which is directly proportional to this resistor value.
4.7 Power Amplifier
A power amplifier is illustrated in
Figure 22
. This circuit can
provide a higher output current because a transistor follower
is added to the output of the op amp.
4.8 LED Driver
The LMV321/358/324 can be used to drive an LED as shown
in
Figure 23
.
4.9 Comparator with Hysteresis
The LMV321/358/324 can be used as a low power compara-
tor.
Figure 24
shows a comparator with hysteresis. The hys-
teresis is determined by the ratio of the two resistors.

The differential voltage at the input of the op amp should not
exceed the specified absolute maximum ratings. For real
comparators that are much faster, we recommend you to use
National’s LMV331/393/339, which are single, dual and quad
general purpose comparators for low voltage operation.
