Micropower Single Supply Rail-to-Rail
Input-Output (RRIO) Precision Op Amp
The EL8178 is a precision low power, operational amplifier.
The device is optimized for single supply operation between
2.4V to 5.5V. This enables operation from one lithium cell or
two Ni-Cd batteries. The input range includes both positive
and negative rail.
For power sensitive applications, the EL8178 has and EN
pin that will shut the device down and reduce the supply
current to 3µA typ. In the active state, the EL8178 draws
minimal supply current (55µA) while meeting excellent
DC-accuracy, noise, and output drive specifications.

Application Information
Introduction
The EL8178 is a rail-to-rail input and output (RRIO),
micropower, precision, single supply op amp with an enable
feature. This amplifier is designed to operate from single
supply (2.4V to 5.5V) or dual supply (±1.2V to ±2.75V) while
drawing only 55µA of supply current.The device achieves
rail-to-rail input and output operation while eliminating the
drawbacks of many conventional RRIO op amps.
Rail-to-Rail Input
The PFET input stage of the EL8178 has an input
common-mode voltage range that includes the negative and
positive supplies without introducing offset errors or
degrading performance like some existing rail-to-rail input
op amps. Many rail-to-rail input stages use two differential
input pairs: a long-tail PNP (or PFET) and an NPN (or
NFET). Severe penalties result from using this topology. As
the input signal moves from one supply rail to the other, the
op amp switches from one input pair to the other causing
changes in input offset voltage and an undesired change in
the input offset current’s magnitude and polarity.
The EL8178 achieves rail-to-rail input performance without
sacrificing important precision specifications and without
degrading distortion performance. The EL8178's input offset
voltage exhibits a smooth behavior throughout the entire
common-mode input range.

Rail-to-Rail Output
A pair of complementary MOSFET devices achieve rail-to-rail
output swing. The NMOS sinks current to swing the output in
the negative direction, while the PMOS sources current to
swing the output in the positive direction. The EL8178 with a
100kΩ load swings to within 3mV of the supply rails.
Results of Overdriving the Output
Caution should be used when overdriving the output for long
periods of time. Overdriving the output can occur in three ways:
1. The input voltage times the gain of the amplifier exceeds the
supply voltage by a large value.
2. The output current required is higher than the output stage
can deliver.
3. Operating the device in slew rate limit. These conditions can
result in a shift in the Input Offset Voltage (VOS) as much as
1µV/hr of exposure under these conditions.
Enable/Disable Feature
The EL8178 features an active low EN pin that when pulled
up to at least 2V, disables the output and drops the ICC to a
3µA. The EN pin has an internal pull-down, so an undriven
pin pulls to the negative rail, thereby enabling the op amp by
default. For applications where the EN pin is not being used,
it is recommended that the EN pin be permanently tyed to
ground.
The high impedance output during disable allows for
connecting multiple EL8178s together to implement a Mux
Amp. The outputs are connected together and activating the
appropriate EN pin selects the desired channel. If utilizing
non-unity gain op amp configurations, then the loading

effects of the disabled amplifiers’ feedback networks must be
considered when evaluating the active amplifier’s
performance in Mux Amp configurations.
(see “Circuit 2” diagram on page 9). If the input voltage is
expected to exceed V+ or V-, then an external series resistor
should be added to limit the current to 5mA.
Note that feed through from the IN+ to IN- pins occurs on
any Mux Amp disabled channel where the input differential
voltage exceeds 0.5V (e.g., active channel VOUT = 1V, while
disabled channel VIN = GND), so the mux implementation is
best suited for small signal applications. In any application
where two or more amplifier outputs are muxed, use series
IN+ resistors, or large value RFs in each amplifier to keep
the feed through current low enough to minimize the impact
on the active channel. See “Usage Implications” on page 11
for more details.
Output Current Limiting
IN+ and IN- Input Protection
In addition to ESD protection diodes to each supply rail, the
EL8178 has additional back-to-back protection diodes across
the differential input terminals. If the magnitude of the
differential input voltage exceeds the diode’s VF, then one of
these diodes will conduct. For elevated temperatures, the
leakage of the protection diodes (see Circuit 1 in “Pin
Descriptions” on page 10) increases, resulting in the increase
in IBIAS, as seen in Figures 21 and 22.
USAGE IMPLICATIONS
If the input differential voltage is expected to exceed 0.5V, an
external current limiting resistor must be used to ensure the
input current never exceeds 5mA. For noninverting unity gain
applications, the current limiting can be via a series IN+ resistor,
or via a feedback resistor of appropriate value. For other gain
configurations, the series IN+ resistor is the best choice, unless
the feedback (RF) and gain setting (RG) resistors are both
sufficiently large to limit the input current to 5mA.
Large differential input voltages can arise from several
sources:
1. During open loop (comparator) operation. The IN+ and
IN- input voltages don’t track.
2. When the amplifier is disabled but an input signal is still
present. An RL or RG to GND keeps the IN- at GND, while
the varying IN+ signal creates a differential voltage. Mux
Amp applications are similar, except that the active
channel VOUT determines the voltage on the IN- terminal.
3. When the slew rate of the input pulse is considerably
faster than the op amp’s slew rate. If the VOUT can’t keep
up with the IN+ signal, a differential voltage results, and
visible distortion occurs on the input and output signals.
To avoid this issue, keep the input slew rate below
0.2V/µs, or use appropriate current limiting resistors.
Large (>2V) differential input voltages can also cause an
increase in disabled ICC.
EN Input Protection
The EN input has internal ESD protection diodes to both the
positive and negative supply rails, limiting the input voltage
range to within one diode beyond the supply rails
11
The EL8178 has no internal current-limiting circuitry. If the
output is shorted, it is possible to exceed the “Absolute
Maximum Rating” for “operating junction temperature”,
potentially resulting in the destruction of the device.
Power Dissipation
It is possible to exceed the +150°C maximum junction
temperature (TJMAX) under certain load and power-supply
conditions. It is therefore important to calculate 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 parameters are related in
Equation 1:
T JMAX = T MAX + ( θ JA xPD MAX )
(EQ. 1)
where PDMAX is calculated using Equation 2:
V OUTMAX
PD MAX = V S × I SMAX + ( V S - V OUTMAX ) × ---------------------------R
(EQ. 2)
L
where:
• TMAX = Maximum ambient temperature
• θJA = Thermal resistance of the package
• PDMAX = Maximum power dissipation of the amplifier
• VS = Supply voltage
• IMAX = Maximum supply current of the amplifier
• VOUTMAX = Maximum output voltage swing of the
application
• RL = Load resistance
Proper Layout Maximizes Precision
To achieve the optimum levels of high input impedance
(i.e., low input currents) and low offset voltage, care should
be taken in the circuit board layout. The PC board surface
must remain clean and free of moisture to avoid leakage
currents between adjacent traces. Surface coating of the
circuit board will reduce surface moisture and provide a
humidity barrier, reducing parasitic resistance on the board.
When input leakage current is a paramount concern, the use
of guard rings around the amplifier inputs will further reduce
leakage currents. Figure 31 shows a guard ring example for
a unity gain amplifier that uses the low impedance amplifier
output at the same voltage as the high impedance input to
eliminate surface leakage. The guard ring does not need to
be a specific width, but it should form a continuous loop
around both inputs. For further reduction of leakage
currents, mount components to the PC board using Teflon
standoffs.

eliminates the need for a bias resistor network required by

Thermocouples are the most popular temperature sensing
devices because of their low cost, interchangeability, and
ability to measure a wide range of temperatures. In
Figure 33, the EL8178 converts the differential thermocouple
voltage into single-ended signal with 10x gain. The EL8178's
rail-to-rail input characteristic allows the thermocouple to be
biased at ground and permits the op amp to operate from a
single 5V supply.
