These specifications make the LMV831, LMV832 and LMV834 great choices for medical and instrumentation applications such as diagnosis equipment. The low supply current is perfectly suited for battery powered equipment. The small packages, SC-70 package for the LMV831, the MSOP package for the dual LMV832 and the TSSOP package for the quad LMV834, make these parts a perfect choice for portable electronics. Additionally, the EMI hardening makes the LMV831, LMV832 or LMV834 a must for almost all op amp applications. Most applications are exposed to Radio Frequency (RF) signals such as the signals transmitted by mobile phones or wireless computer peripherals. The LMV831, LMV832 and LMV834 will effectively reduce disturbances caused by RF signals to a level that will be hardly noticeable. This again reduces the need for additional filtering and shielding. Using this EMI resistant series of op amps will thus reduce the number of components and space needed for applications that are affected by EMI, and will help applications, not yet identified as possible EMI sensitive, to be more robust for EMI. 30024164 FIGURE 1. AC CMRR Measurement Setup The configuration is largely the usually applied balanced configuration. With potentiometer P1, the balance can be tuned to compensate for the DC offset in the DUT. The main difference is the addition of the buffer. This buffer prevents the open-loop output impedance of the DUT from affecting the balance of the feedback network. Now the closed-loop output impedance of the buffer is a part of the balance. As the closedloop output impedance is much lower, and by careful selection of the buffer also has a larger bandwidth, the total effect is that the CMRR of the DUT can be measured much more accurately. The differences are apparent in the larger measured bandwidth of the AC CMRR. One artifact from this test circuit is that the low frequency CMRR results appear higher than expected. This is because in the AC CMRR test circuit the potentiometer is used to compensate for the DC mismatches. So, mainly AC mismatch is all that remains. Therefore, the obtained DC CMRR from this AC CMRR test circuit tends to be higher than the actual DC CMRR based on DC measurements. The CMRR curve in Figure 2 shows a combination of the AC CMRR and the DC CMRR. INPUT CHARACTERISTICS The input common mode voltage range of the LMV831, LMV832 and LMV834 includes ground, and can even sense well below ground. The CMRR level does not degrade for input levels up to 1.2V below the supply voltage. For a supply voltage of 5V, the maximum voltage that should be applied to the input for best CMRR performance is thus 3.8V. When not configured as unity gain, this input limitation will usually not degrade the effective signal range. The output is rail-to-rail and therefore will introduce no limitations to the signal range. The typical offset is only 0.25 mV, and the TCVOS is 0.5 V/C, specifications close to precision op amps. CMRR MEASUREMENT The CMRR measurement results may need some clarification. This is because different setups are used to measure the AC CMRR and the DC CMRR. The DC CMRR is derived from VOS versus VCM. This value is stated in the tables, and is tested during production testing. The AC CMRR is measured with the test circuit shown in Figure 1. 30024136 FIGURE 2. CMRR Curve 13 www.national.com LMV831 Single/ LMV832 Dual/ LMV834 Quad Application Information LMV831 Single/ LMV832 Dual/ LMV834 Quad nificantly simplifies the unambiguous measurement and specification of the EMI performance of an op amp. RF signals interfere with op amps via the non-linearity of the op amp circuitry. This non-linearity results in the detection of the so called out-of-band signals. The obtained effect is that the amplitude modulation of the out-of-band signal is downconverted into the base band. This base band can easily overlap with the band of the op amp circuit. As an example Figure 4 depicts a typical output signal of a unity-gain connected op amp in the presence of an interfering RF signal. Clearly the output voltage varies in the rhythm of the on-off keying of the RF carrier. OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS As already mentioned the output is rail-to-rail. When loading the output with a 10 k resistor the maximum swing of the output is typically 6 mV from the positive and negative rail. The output of the LMV831/LMV832/LMV834 can drive currents up to 30 mA at 3.3V and even up to 65 mA at 5V The LMV831/LMV832/LMV834 can be connected as non-inverting unity-gain amplifiers. This configuration is the most sensitive to capacitive loading. The combination of a capacitive load placed at the output of an amplifier along with the amplifier's output impedance creates a phase lag, which reduces the phase margin of the amplifier. If the phase margin is significantly reduced, the response will be under damped which causes peaking in the transfer and, when there is too much peaking, the op amp might start oscillating. The LMV831/LMV832/LMV834 can directly drive capacitive loads up to 200 pF without any stability issues. In order to drive heavier capacitive loads, an isolation resistor, RISO, should be used, as shown in Figure 3. By using this isolation resistor, the capacitive load is isolated from the amplifier's output, and hence, the pole caused by CL is no longer in the feedback loop. The larger the value of RISO, the more stable the amplifier will be. If the value of RISO is sufficiently large, the feedback loop will be stable, independent of the value of CL. However, larger values of RISO result in reduced output swing and reduced output current drive. 30024165 FIGURE 4. Offset voltage variation due to an interfering RF signal EMIRR DEFINITION To identify EMI hardened op amps, a parameter is needed that quantitatively describes the EMI performance of op amps. A quantitative measure enables the comparison and the ranking of op amps on their EMI robustness. Therefore the EMI Rejection Ratio (EMIRR) is introduced. This parameter describes the resulting input-referred offset voltage shift of an op amp as a result of an applied RF carrier (interference) with a certain frequency and level. The definition of EMIRR is given by: 30024163 FIGURE 3. Isolating Capacitive Load A resistor value of around 150 would be sufficient. As an example some values are given in the following table, for 5V. CLOAD RISO 300 pF 165 400 pF 175 500 pF 185 In which VRF_PEAK is the amplitude of the applied un-modulated RF signal (V) and VOS is the resulting input-referred offset voltage shift (V). The offset voltage depends quadratically on the applied RF level, and therefore, the RF level at which the EMIRR is determined should be specified. The standard level for the RF signal is 100 mVP. Application Note AN-1698 addresses the conversion of an EMIRR measured for an other signal level than 100 mVP. The interpretation of the EMIRR parameter is straightforward. When two op amps have an EMIRR which differ by 20 dB, the resulting error signals when used in identical configurations, differ by 20 dB as well. So, the higher the EMIRR, the more robust the op amp. EMIRR With the increase of RF transmitting devices in the world, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) between those devices and other equipment becomes a bigger challenge. The LMV831, LMV832 and LMV834 are EMI hardened op amps which are specifically designed to overcome electromagnetic interference. Along with EMI hardened op amps, the EMIRR parameter is introduced to unambiguously specify the EMI performance of an op amp. This section presents an overview of EMIRR. A detailed description on this specification for EMI hardened op amps can be found in Application Note AN-1698. The dimensions of an op amp IC are relatively small compared to the wavelength of the disturbing RF signals. As a result the op amp itself will hardly receive any disturbances. The RF signals interfering with the op amp are dominantly received by the PCB and wiring connected to the op amp. As a result the RF signals on the pins of the op amp can be represented by voltages and currents. This representation sig- www.national.com Coupling an RF Signal to the IN+ Pin Each of the op amp pins can be tested separately on EMIRR. In this section the measurements on the IN+ pin (which, based on symmetry considerations, also apply to the IN- pin) are discussed. In Application Note AN-1698 the other pins of the op amp are treated as well. For testing the IN+ pin the op amp is connected in the unity gain configuration. Applying the RF signal is straightforward as it can be connected directly to the IN+ pin. As a result the RF signal path has a minimum of components that might affect the RF signal level at the pin. 14 nected at the negative output of the pressure sensor prevents the loading of the bridge by resistor R2. The buffer also prevents the resistors of the sensor from affecting the gain of the following gain stage. The op amps are placed in a single supply configuration. The experiment is performed on two different dual op amps: a typical standard op amp and the LMV832, EMI hardened dual op amp. A cell phone is placed on a fixed position a couple of centimeters from the op amps in the sensor circuit. When the cell phone is called, the PCB and wiring connected to the op amps receive the RF signal. Subsequently, the op amps detect the RF voltages and currents that end up at their pins. The resulting effect on the output of the second op amp is shown in Figure 6. 30024168 30024167 FIGURE 6. Comparing EMI Robustness FIGURE 5. Circuit for coupling the RF signal to IN+ The difference between the two types of dual op amps is clearly visible. The typical standard dual op amp has an output shift (disturbed signal) larger than 1V as a result of the RF signal transmitted by the cell phone. The LMV832, EMI hardened op amp does not show any significant disturbances. This means that the RF signal will not disturb the signal entering the ADC when using the LMV832. Cell Phone Call The effect of electromagnetic interference is demonstrated in a setup where a cell phone interferes with a pressure sensor application. The application is shown in Figure 7. This application needs two op amps and therefore a dual op amp is used. The op amp configured as a buffer and con- 30024169 FIGURE 7. Pressure Sensor Application Even with the LMV831/LMV832/LMV834 inherent hardening against EMI, it is still recommended to keep the input traces short and as far as possible from RF sources. Then the RF signals entering the chip are as low as possible, and the remaining EMI can be, almost, completely eliminated in the chip by the EMI reducing features of the LMV831/LMV832/ LMV834. DECOUPLING AND LAYOUT Care must be given when creating a board layout for the op amp. For decoupling the supply lines it is suggested that 10 nF capacitors be placed as close as possible to the op amp. For single supply, place a capacitor between V+ and V-. For dual supplies, place one capacitor between V+ and the board ground, and a second capacitor between ground and V-. 15 www.national.com LMV831 Single/ LMV832 Dual/ LMV834 Quad The circuit diagram is shown in Figure 5. The PCB trace from RFIN to the IN+ pin should be a 50 stripline in order to match the RF impedance of the cabling and the RF generator. On the PCB a 50 termination is used. This 50 resistor is also used to set the bias level of the IN+ pin to ground level. For determining the EMIRR, two measurements are needed: one is measuring the DC output level when the RF signal is off; and the other is measuring the DC output level when the RF signal is switched on. The difference of the two DC levels is the output voltage shift as a result of the RF signal. As the op amp is in the unity gain configuration, the input referred offset voltage shift corresponds one-to-one to the measured output voltage shift. LMV831 Single/ LMV832 Dual/ LMV834 Quad PRESSURE SENSOR APPLICATION The LMV831/LMV832/LMV834 can be used for pressure sensor applications. Because of their low power the LMV831/ LMV832/LMV834 are ideal for portable applications, such as blood pressure measurement devices, or portable barometers. This example describes a universal pressure sensor that can be used as a starting point for different types of sensors and applications. Pressure Sensor Example The configuration shown in Figure 7 is simple, and is very useful for the read out of pressure sensors. With two op amps in this application, the dual LMV832 fits very well. The op amp configured as a buffer and connected at the negative output of the pressure sensor prevents the loading of the bridge by resistor R2. The buffer also prevents the resistors of the sensor from affecting the gain of the following gain stage. Given the differential output voltage VS of the pressure sensor, the output signal of this op amp configuration, VOUT, equals: Pressure Sensor Characteristics The pressure sensor used in this example functions as a Wheatstone bridge. The value of the resistors in the bridge change when pressure is applied to the sensor. This change of the resistor values will result in a differential output voltage, depending on the sensitivity of the sensor and the applied pressure. The difference between the output at full scale pressure and the output at zero pressure is defined as the span of the pressure sensor. A typical value for the span is 100 mV. A typical value for the resistors in the bridge is 5 k. Loading of the resistor bridge could result in incorrect output voltages of the sensor. Therefore the selection of the circuit configuration, which connects to the sensor, should take into account a minimum loading of the sensor. www.national.com To align the pressure range with the full range of an ADC, the power supply voltage and the span of the pressure sensor are needed. For this example a power supply of 5V is used and the span of the sensor is 100 mV. When a 100 resistor is used for R2, and a 2.4 k resistor is used for R1, the maximum voltage at the output is 4.95V and the minimum voltage is 0.05V. This signal is covering almost the full input range of the ADC. Further processing can take place in the microprocessor following the ADC. 16 LMV831 Single/ LMV832 Dual/ LMV834 Quad Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted 5-Pin SC-70 NS Package Number MAA05A 8-Pin MSOP NS Package Number MUA08A 17 www.national.com LMV831 Single/ LMV832 Dual/ LMV834 Quad 14-Pin TSSOP NS Package Number MTC14 www.national.com 18 www.national.com 19 LMV831 Single/ LMV832 Dual/ LMV834 Quad Notes LMV831 Single/ LMV832 Dual/ LMV834 Quad 3.3 MHz Low Power CMOS, EMI Hardened Operational Amplifiers Notes For more National Semiconductor product information and proven design tools, visit the following Web sites at: Products Design Support Amplifiers www.national.com/amplifiers WEBENCH www.national.com/webench Audio www.national.com/audio Analog University www.national.com/AU Clock Conditioners www.national.com/timing App Notes www.national.com/appnotes Data Converters www.national.com/adc Distributors www.national.com/contacts Displays www.national.com/displays Green Compliance www.national.com/quality/green Ethernet www.national.com/ethernet Packaging www.national.com/packaging Interface www.national.com/interface Quality and Reliability www.national.com/quality LVDS www.national.com/lvds Reference Designs www.national.com/refdesigns Power Management www.national.com/power Feedback www.national.com/feedback Switching Regulators www.national.com/switchers LDOs www.national.com/ldo LED Lighting www.national.com/led PowerWise www.national.com/powerwise Serial Digital Interface (SDI) www.national.com/sdi Temperature Sensors www.national.com/tempsensors Wireless (PLL/VCO) www.national.com/wireless THE CONTENTS OF THIS DOCUMENT ARE PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION ("NATIONAL") PRODUCTS.
