Applications Information
Product Descr iption
The ISL28191 and ISL28291 are voltage feedback operational
amplifier designed for communication and imaging applications
requiring very low voltage and current noise. Both parts feature
low distortion while drawing moderately low supply current. The
ISL28191 and ISL28291 use a classical voltage-feedback
topology which allows them to be used in a variety of
applications where current-feedback amplifiers are not
appropriate because of restrictions placed upon the feedback
element used with the amplifier.
Enable/Power-Down
The ISL28191 and ISL28291 amplifiers are disabled by
applying a voltage greater than 2V to the ENABLE pin, with
respect to the V- pin. In this condition, the output(s) will be in
a high impedance state and the amplifier(s) current will be
reduced to 13µA/Amp. By disabling the part, multiple parts
can be connected together as a MUX. The outputs are tied
together in parallel and a channel can be se lected by the
ENABLE pin. The ENABLE pin also has an internal pull
down. If left open, the ENABLE pin will pull to the negative
rail and the device will be enabled by default.
Input Protection
All input terminals have internal ESD protection diod es to both
positive and negati ve supply rails, limitin g the input vol t age to
within one diode beyond the supply rail s. Both p arts have
additional back-to-back diodes across th e input terminal s (as
shown in Figure 25). In pulse a pplications w here the input
Slew Rate exceeds th e Slew Rate of the amplifier, the
possibility exist s for the input protectio n diodes to be come
forward biased. This can cause excessive input curre nt and
distortion at the outputs. If over driving the inputs is n ecessary,
the external input current must never exceed 5mA. An
external series resistor may be used to limit the current as
shown in Figure 25.
Using Only One Channel
The ISL28291 is a Dual channel op-amp. If the application
only requires one channel when using the ISL 28291, the
user must configure the unused channel to prevent it from
oscillating. Oscillation can occur if the input an d output pins
are floating. This will result in higher than expected supply
currents and possible noise injection into the channel being
used. The proper way to prevent this oscillation is to short
the output to the negative input and ground the positive input
(as shown in Figure 26).
Current Limiting
The ISL28191 and ISL28291 have no internal current-
limiting circuitry. If the output is shorted, it is possible to
exceed the Absolute Maximum Rating for output current or
power dissipation, potentially resulting in the destruction of
the device. This is why output short circuit current is
specified and tested with RL = 10Ω.
Power Dissipation
It is possible to exceed the +125°C maximum junction
temperatures under certain load and power-supply
conditions. It is therefore important to calculate the
maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) for all applications
to determine if power supply voltages, load conditions, or
package type need to be modified to remain in the safe
operating area. These paramete rs are related as follows:
where:
•P
DMAXTOTAL is the sum of the maximum power
dissipation of each amplifier in the package (PDMAX)
•PD
MAX for each amplifier can be calculated as follows:
where:
•T
MAX = Maximum ambient temperature
•θJA = Thermal resistance of the package
•PD
MAX = Maximum power dissipation of 1 amplifier
•V
S = Supply voltage
•I
MAX = Maximum supply current of 1 amplifier
•V
OUTMAX = Maximum output voltage swing of the
application
•R
L = Load resistance
