0.5MHz, Low Supply Voltage, Low Input
Current BiMOS Operational Ampli鏗乪rs
The CA3420A and CA3420 are integrated circuit operational
ampli鏗乪rs that combine PMOS transistors and bipolar
transistors on a single monolithic chip. The CA3420A and
CA3420 BiMOS operational ampli鏗乪rs feature gate
protected PMOS transistors in the input circuit to provide
very high input impedance, very low input currents (less than
1pA). The internal bootstrapping network features a unique
guardbanding technique for reducing the doubling of leakage
current for every 10
o
C increase in temperature. The CA3420
series operates at total supply voltages from 2V to 20V
either single or dual supply. These operational ampli鏗乪rs are
internally phase compensated to achieve stable operation in
the unity gain follower con鏗乬uration. Additionally, they have
access terminals for a supplementary external capacitor if
additional frequency roll-off is desired. Terminals are also
provided for use in applications requiring input offset voltage
nulling. The use of PMOS in the input stage results in
common mode input voltage capability down to 0.45V below
the negative supply terminal, an important attribute for single
supply application. The output stage uses a feedback OTA
type ampli鏗乪r that can swing essentially from rail-to-rail. The
output driving current of 1.5mA (Min) is provided by using
nonlinear current mirrors.
