LMC6032
CMOS Dual Operational Amplifier
General Description
The LMC6032 is a CMOS dual operational amplifier which
can operate from either a single supply or dual supplies. Its
performance features include an input common-mode range
that reaches ground, low input bias current, and high voltage
gain into realistic loads, such as 2 kΩ and 600Ω.
This chip is built with National’s advanced Double-Poly
Silicon-Gate CMOS process.
See the LMC6034 datasheet for a CMOS quad operational
amplifier with these same features. For higher performance
characteristics refer to the LMC662.

COMPENSATING INPUT CAPACITANCE
The high input resistance of the LMC6032 op amps allows
the use of large feedback and source resistor values without
losing gain accuracy due to loading. However, the circuit will
be especially sensitive to its layout when these large-value
resistors are used.
Every amplifier has some capacitance between each input
and AC ground, and also some differential capacitance between the inputs. When the feedback network around an
amplifier is resistive, this input capacitance (along with any
additional capacitance due to circuit board traces, the
socket, etc.) and the feedback resistors create a pole in the
feedback path. In the following General Operational Amplifier
Circuit, Figure 2, the frequency of this pole is
AMPLIFIER TOPOLOGY
The topology chosen for the LMC6032, shown in Figure 1, is
unconventional (compared to general-purpose op amps) in
that the traditional unity-gain buffer output stage is not used;
instead, the output is taken directly from the output of the integrator, to allow a larger output swing. Since the buffer traditionally delivers the power to the load, while maintaining
high op amp gain and stability, and must withstand shorts to
either rail, these tasks now fall to the integrator.
As a result of these demands, the integrator is a compound
affair with an embedded gain stage that is doubly fed forward
(via Cf and Cff) by a dedicated unity-gain compensation
driver. In addition, the output portion of the integrator is a
push-pull configuration for delivering heavy loads. While
sinking current the whole amplifier path consists of three
gain stages with one stage fed forward, whereas while
sourcing the path contains four gain stages with two fed
forward.
where CS is the total capacitance at the inverting input, including amplifier input capacitance and any stray capacitance from the IC socket (if one is used), circuit board traces,
etc., and RPis the parallel combination of RF and RIN. This
formula, as well as all formulae derived below, apply to inverting and non-inverting op-amp configurations.
When the feedback resistors are smaller than a few kΩ, the
frequency of the feedback pole will be quite high, since CSis
generally less than 10 pF. If the frequency of the feedback
pole is much higher than the “ideal” closed-loop bandwidth
(the nominal closed-loop bandwidth in the absence of CS),
the pole will have a negligible effect on stability, as it will add
only a small amount of phase shift.
However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately 6 to
10 times the “ideal” −3 dB frequency, a feedback capacitor,
CF, should be connected between the output and the inverting input of the op amp. This condition can also be stated in
terms of the amplifier’s low-frequency noise gain: To maintain stability, a feedback capacitor will probably be needed if
DS011135-3
FIGURE 1. LMC6032 Circuit Topology (Each Amplifier)
The large signal voltage gain while sourcing is comparable
to traditional bipolar op amps, even with a 600Ω load. The
gain while sinking is higher than most CMOS op amps, due
to the additional gain stage; however, under heavy load
(600Ω) the gain will be reduced as indicated in the Electrical
Characteristics.

larger feedback capacitor to allow for unexpected stray capacitance, or to tolerate additional phase shifts in the loop, or
excessive capacitive load, or to decrease the noise or bandwidth, or simply because the particular circuit implementation needs more feedback capacitance to be sufficiently
stable. For example, a printed circuit board’s stray capacitance may be larger or smaller than the breadboard’s, so the
actual optimum value for CF may be different from the one
estimated using the breadboard. In most cases, the value of
CF should be checked on the actual circuit, starting with the
computed value.

where
is the amplifier’s low-frequency noise gain and GBW is the
amplifier’s gain bandwidth product. An amplifier’s
low-frequency noise gain is represented by the formula
CAPACITIVE LOAD TOLERANCE
Like many other op amps, the LMC6032 may oscillate when
its applied load appears capacitive. The threshold of oscillation varies both with load and circuit gain. The configuration
most sensitive to oscillation is a unity-gain follower. See the
Typical Performance Characteristics.
The load capacitance interacts with the op amp’s output resistance to create an additional pole. If this pole frequency is
sufficiently low, it will degrade the op amp’s phase margin so
that the amplifier is no longer stable at low gains. As shown
in Figure 3, the addition of a small resistor (50Ω to 100Ω) in
series with the op amp’s output, and a capacitor (5 pF to 10
pF) from inverting input to output pins, returns the phase
margin to a safe value without interfering with
lower-frequency circuit operation. Thus, larger values of capacitance can be tolerated without oscillation. Note that in all
cases, the output will ring heavily when the load capacitance
is near the threshold for oscillation.
regardless of whether the amplifier is being used in an inverting or non-inverting mode. Note that a feedback capacitor is
more likely to be needed when the noise gain is low and/or
the feedback resistor is large.
If the above condition is met (indicating a feedback capacitor
will probably be needed), and the noise gain is large enough
that:
the following value of feedback capacitor is recommended:
If
the feedback capacitor should be:
DS011135-5
FIGURE 3. Rx, Cx Improve Capacitive Load Tolerance
Note that these capacitor values are usually significantly
smaller than those given by the older, more conservative formula:
Capacitive load driving capability is enhanced by using a pull
up resistor to V+ (Figure 4). Typically a pull up resistor conducting 500 µA or more will significantly improve capacitive
load responses. The value of the pull up resistor must be determined based on the current sinking capability of the amplifier with respect to the desired output swing. Open loop gain
of the amplifier can also be affected by the pull up resistor
(see Electrical Characteristics).
DS011135-22
FIGURE 4. Compensating for Large Capacitive
Loads with a Pull Up Resistor
DS011135-4
CS consists of the amplifier’s input capacitance plus any stray capacitance
from the circuit board and socket. CF compensates for the pole caused by
CS and the feedback resistor.
PRINTED-CIRCUIT-BOARD LAYOUT
FOR HIGH-IMPEDANCE WORK
It is generally recognized that any circuit which must operate
with less than 1000 pA of leakage current requires special
layout of the PC board. When one wishes to take advantage
of the ultra-low bias current of the LMC6032, typically less

Using the smaller capacitors will give much higher bandwidth with little degradation of transient response. It may be
necessary in any of the above cases to use a somewhat

than 0.04 pA, it is essential to have an excellent layout. Fortunately, the techniques for obtaining low leakages are quite
simple. First, the user must not ignore the surface leakage of
the PC board, even though it may sometimes appear acceptably low, because under conditions of high humidity or dust
or contamination, the surface leakage will be appreciable.
To minimize the effect of any surface leakage, lay out a ring
of foil completely surrounding the LMC6032’s inputs and the
terminals of capacitors, diodes, conductors, resistors, relay
terminals, etc. connected to the op-amp’s inputs. See Figure
5. To have a significant effect, guard rings should be placed
on both the top and bottom of the PC board. This PC foil
must then be connected to a voltage which is at the same
voltage as the amplifier inputs, since no leakage current can
flow between two points at the same potential. For example,
a PC board trace-to-pad resistance of 1012Ω, which is normally considered a very large resistance, could leak 5 pA if
the trace were a 5V bus adjacent to the pad of an input. This
would cause a 100 times degradation from the LMC6032’s
actual performance. However, if a guard ring is held within
5 mV of the inputs, then even a resistance of 1011Ω would
cause only 0.05 pA of leakage current, or perhaps a minor
(2:1) degradation of the amplifier’s performance. See Figure
6a, Figure 6b, Figure 6c for typical connections of guard
rings for standard op-amp configurations. If both inputs are
active and at high impedance, the guard can be tied to
ground and still provide some protection; see Figure 6d.

FIGURE 6. Guard Ring Connections
The designer should be aware that when it is inappropriate
to lay out a PC board for the sake of just a few circuits, there
is another technique which is even better than a guard ring
on a PC board: Don’t insert the amplifier’s input pin into the
board at all, but bend it up in the air and use only air as an insulator. Air is an excellent insulator. In this case you may
have to forego some of the advantages of PC board construction, but the advantages are sometimes well worth the
effort of using point-to-point up-in-the-air wiring.

BIAS CURRENT TESTING
The test method of Figure 8 is appropriate for bench-testing
bias current with reasonable accuracy. To understand its operation, first close switch S2 momentarily. When S2 is
opened, then
A suitable capacitor for C2 would be a 5 pF or 10 pF silver
mica, NPO ceramic, or air-dielectric. When determining the
magnitude of Ib−, the leakage of the capacitor and socket
must be taken into account. Switch S2 should be left shorted
most of the time, or else the dielectric absorption of the capacitor C2 could cause errors.

Additional single-supply applications ideas can be found in
the LM358 datasheet. The LMC6032 is pin-for-pin compatible with the LM358 and offers greater bandwidth and input
resistance over the LM358. These features will improve the
performance of many existing single-supply applications.
Note, however, that the supply voltage range of the
LMC6032 is smaller than that of the LM358.
For good CMRR over temperature, low drift resistors should
be used. Matching of R3 to R6 and R4 to R7 affects CMRR.
Gain may be adjusted through R2. CMRR may be adjusted
through R7.
