PSoC® Creator™ Component Datasheet
PSoC 4 Operational Amplifier (Opamp)
1.0
Features
 Follower or Opamp configuration
 Rail-to-rail inputs and output
 Output direct low resistance connection to pin
 1mA or 10mA output current
 Internal connection for follower
General Description
The Opamp operates as an off-the-shelf operation amplifier. A direct connection is made
between the Opamp output to a GPIO pin for a low output resistance. Two output current levels
(1mA and 10mA) are provided to drive internal or external signals respectively. The 10mA may
drive both internal (SAR component) and external signals. The user also has control of different
overall power levels that provide a tradeoff between power and bandwidth.
Note External resistors are required to perform amplification.
When to Use the Opamp
The following is a list of common use cases for the Opamp component:

Input/Output Connections
This section describes the various input and output connections for the Opamp.
Positive Input–Analog Input
When the Opamp is configured as a follower, this I/O is the voltage input. If the Opamp is
configured as an Opamp, this I/O acts as the standard Opamp noninverting input.
Negative Input– Analog Input*
When the Opamp component is configured for Opamp mode, this I/O is the normal inverting
input. When the Opamp is configured in Follower mode, this I/O is hard-connected to the output
and the I/O is unavailable.
Vout– Analog output
The output can be directly connected to a pin and/or routed to an internal load using the analog
routing fabric. The drive strength is selectable as either 10 mA or 1 mA. Connections to pins
require the 10 mA setting. Internal connections can operate with either the 1 mA or 10 mA
setting, but should normally be configured for 1 mA.

Component Parameters
Drag Opamp onto your design and double-click it to open the Configure dialog. Figure 1 shows
the Configure dialog.
Figure 1.Configure Opamp Dialog
The Opamp provides the following parameters.
Mode
This parameter allows you to select between two configurations: Opamp and Follower. Opamp
is the default configuration. In this mode, all three terminals are available for connection. In
follower mode, the inverting input is internally connected to the output to create a voltage
follower.
Power
The Opamp works over a wide range of operating currents. Higher operating current increases
Opamp bandwidth. The Power parameter allows you to select the power level: High Power,
Medium Power, and Low Power.
Output
Selects output mode: 1 mA – internal connections or 10 mA – connection to pin.

Compensation
The opamp offers three compensation settings: High Speed, Balanced and High Stability. This
allows for reducing the compensation (hence increase bandwidth) when the Opamp’s loop gain
is reduced.
Placement
Each Opamp is directly connected to specific GPIOs along with being connected to the internal
fabric. Output connection to a GPIO requires the use of the directly connected pin. Refer to the
device datasheet for the part being used for the specific physical pin connections.
Resources
The Opamp uses one of the opamp (Constant Time Block – mini (CTBm)) blocks in PSoC 4. No
other resources are required.
Application Programming Interface
Application Programming Interface (API) routines allow you to configure the component using
software. The following table lists and describes the interface to each function. The subsequent
sections cover each function in more detail.
By default, PSoC Creator assigns the instance name "Opamp_1" to the first instance of a
component in a given design. You can rename it to any unique value that follows the syntactic
rules for identifiers. The instance name becomes the prefix of every global function name,
variable, and constant symbol. For readability, the instance name used in the following table is
"Opamp"
Functions

Function
PSoC 4 Operational Amplifier (Opamp)
Description
Opamp_Wakeup()
This is the preferred API to restore the component to the state when
Opamp_Sleep() was called.
Opamp_SaveConfig()
Saves the configuration of the component.
Opamp_RestoreConfig()
Restores the configuration of the component.
void Opamp_Init(void)
Description:
Initializes or restores the component according to the customizer Configure dialog settings. It
is not necessary to call Opamp_Init() because the Opamp_Start() API calls this function and
is the preferred method to begin component operation.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
All registers will be set to values according to the customizer Configure dialog.
void Opamp_Enable(void)
Description:
Activates the hardware and begins component operation. It is not necessary to call
Opamp_Enable() because the Opamp_Start() API calls this function, which is the preferred
method to begin component operation.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
None
void Opamp_Start(void)
Description:
Performs all of the required initialization for the component and enables power to the block.
The first time the routine is executed, the power level, Mode, and Output mode is set. When
called to restart the Opamp following a Opamp_Stop() call, the current component parameter
settings are retained.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
None

void Opamp_Stop(void)
Description:
Turn off the Opamp block.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
Does not affect Opamp mode or power settings
void Opamp_SetPower(uint32 power)
Description:
Sets the drive power to one of three settings; Opamp_LOWPOWER, Opamp_MEDPOWER,
Opamp_HIGHPOWER.
Parameters:
(uint32) power: Opamp_LOWPOWER, Opamp_MEDPOWER, Opamp_HIGHPOWER.
Return Value:
None
void Opamp_PumpControl(uint32 onOff)
Description:
Allows user to turn the Opamp’s boost pump on or off. By Default the Opamp_Start() function
turns on the pump. Use this command to turn it off.
Parameters:
(uint32) onOff: Opamp_PUMPON will turn on the pump, Opamp_PUMPOFF will turn off the
pump.
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
Turning this pump off will reduce the opamp input range by 1.5 volts or (Vssa to (Vdda – 1.5
volts))
void Opamp_Sleep(void)
Description:
This is the preferred API to prepare the component for sleep. The Opamp_Sleep() API saves
the current component state. Then it calls the Opamp_Stop() function and calls
Opamp_SaveConfig() to save the hardware configuration. Call the Opamp_Sleep() function
before calling the CySysPmDeepSleep() or the CySysPmHibernate() functions.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
None

PSoC 4 Operational Amplifier (Opamp)
void Opamp_Wakeup(void)
Description:
This is the preferred API to restore the component to the state when Opamp_Sleep() was
called. The Opamp_Wakeup() function calls the Opamp_RestoreConfig() function to restore
the configuration. If the component was enabled before the Opamp_Sleep() function was
called, the Opamp_Wakeup() function will also re-enable the component.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
Calling the Opamp_Wakeup() function without first calling the Opamp_Sleep() or
Opamp_SaveConfig() function may produce unexpected behavior.
void Opamp_SaveConfig(void)

called by the Opamp_Sleep() function.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:

void Opamp_RestoreConfig(void)
Description:
This function restores the component configuration and non-retention registers. This function
is called by the Opamp_Wakeup() function.
Parameters:
None
Return Value: None
Side Effects:
None
MISRA Compliance
This section describes the MISRA-C:2004 compliance and deviations for the component. There
are two types of deviations defined: project deviations – deviations that are applicable for all
PSoC Creator components and specific deviations – deviations that are applicable only for this
component. This section provides information on component specific deviations. The project
deviations are described in the MISRA Compliance section of the System Reference Guide
along with information on the MISRA compliance verification environment.
The Opamp component does not have any specific deviations.
