GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ALD4704 is a quad CMOS monolithic operational amplifier with
MOSFET input that has rail-to-rail input and output voltage ranges. The
input voltage can be beyond positive power supply voltage V+ or the
negative power supply voltage V- by up to 300mV. The output voltage
swings to within 60mV of either positive or negative power supply voltages
at rated load.
With high impedance load, the output voltage approaches to within 1mV
of the power supply rails. This device is designed as an alternative to the
popular J-FET input operational amplifiers in applications where lower
operating voltages, such as 9V battery or
3.25V to
6V power supplies
are being used. It offers high slew rate of 5V/
s at low operating power.
The ALD4704 is designed and manufactured with Advanced Linear
Devices' standard enhanced ACMOS silicon gate CMOS process for low
unit cost and exceptional reliability.
The rail-to-rail input and output feature of the ALD4704 expand signal
voltage range for a given operating supply voltage and allow numerous
analog serial stages to be implemented without losing operating voltage
margin. The output stage is designed to drive up to 10mA into 400pF
capacitive and 1.5K
resistive loads at unity gain and up to 4000pF at a
gain of 5. Short circuit protection to either ground or the power supply rails
is at approximately 15mA clamp current. The output can both source and
sink 10mA into a load with symmetrical drive and is ideally suited for
applications where push-pull voltage drive is desired.
For each of the operational amplifier, the offset voltage is trimmed on-chip
to eliminate the need for external nulling in many applications. For
precision applications, the output is designed to settle to 0.1% in 2
s. For
large signal buffer applications, the operational amplifier can function as
an ultrahigh input impedance voltage follower/buffer that allows input
and output voltage swings from positive to negative supply voltages. This
feature is intended to greatly simplify systems design and eliminate higher
voltage power supplies in many applications.

ALD4704
TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Design & Operating Notes:
1. The ALD4704 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. The ALD4704 is internally compensated for unity
gain stability using a novel scheme. This design 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. A unity
gain buffer using the ALD4704 will typically drive 400pF of external
load capacitance without stability problems. In the inverting unity gain
configuration, it can drive up to 800pF of load capacitance. Compared
to other CMOS operational amplifiers, the ALD4704 is much more
resistant to parasitic oscillations.
2. The ALD4704 has complementary p-channel and n-channel input
differential stages connected in parallel to accomplish rail to rail input
common mode voltage range. With the common mode input voltage
close to the power supplies, one of the two differential stages is
switched off internally. To maintain compatibility with other opera-
tional amplifiers, this switching point has been selected to be about
1.5V above the negative supply voltage. As offset voltage trimming on
the ALD4704 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 greater than 2.5 (5V operation), where the common mode
voltage does not make excursions below this switching point.
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. For
applications where source impedance is very high, it may be neces-
sary 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 the ALD4704 an effective analog signal buffer for medium to
high source impedance sensors, transducers, and other circuit net-
works.
5. The ALD4704 operational amplifier has been designed with static
discharge protection and to minimize latch up. However, care must be
exercised when handling the device to avoid strong static fields. 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. Alternatively, a 100K
or higher value resistor at the input
terminals will limit input currents to acceptable levels while causing
very small or negligible accuracy effects.
