GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP184/OP284/OP484 are single, dual and quad singlesupply, 4 MHz bandwidth amplifiers featuring rail-to-rail inputs
and outputs. They are guaranteed to operate from +3 to +36 (or
± 1.5 to ± 18) volts and will function with a single supply as low
as +1.5 volts.
These amplifiers are superb for single supply applications requiring both ac and precision dc performance. The combination
of bandwidth, low noise and precision makes the OP184/OP284/
OP484 useful in a wide variety of applications, including filters
and instrumentation.
Other applications for these amplifiers include portable telecom
equipment, power supply control and protection, and as amplifiers or buffers for transducers with wide output ranges. Sensors
requiring a rail-to-rail input amplifier include Hall effect, piezo
electric, and resistive transducers.
The ability to swing rail-to-rail at both the input and output enables designers to build multistage filters in single-supply systems and to maintain high signal-to-noise ratios.
The OP184/OP284/OP484 are specified over the HOT extended
industrial (–40°C to +125°C) temperature range. The single
and dual are available in 8-pin plastic DIP plus SO surface
mount packages. The quad OP484 is available in 14-pin plastic
DIPs and 14-lead narrow-body SO packages.

The OP284 and OP484 are precision single-supply, rail-to-rail
operational amplifiers. Intended for the portable instrumentation marketplace, the OP184/OP284/OP484 combines the attributes of precision, wide bandwidth, and low noise to make it
a superb choice in those single supply applications that require
both ac and precision dc performance. Other low supply voltage
applications for which the OP284 is well suited are active filters,
audio microphone preamplifiers, power supply control, and telecom. To combine all of these attributes with rail-to-rail input/
output operation, novel circuit design techniques are used.

stage. A key issue in the input stage is the behavior of the input
bias currents over the input common-mode voltage range. Input
bias currents in the OP284 are the arithmetic sum of the base
currents in Q1-Q3 and in Q2-Q4. As a result of this design
approach, the input bias currents in the OP284 not only exhibit
different amplitudes, but also exhibit different polarities. This
effect is best illustrated in Figure 8. It is, therefore, of paramount importance that the effective source impedances connected to the OP284’s inputs be balanced for optimum dc and
ac performance.
To achieve rail-to-rail output, the OP284 output stage design
employs a unique topology for both sourcing and sinking current. This circuit topology is illustrated in Figure 42. As previously mentioned, the output stage is voltage-driven from the
second gain stage. The signal path through the output stage is
inverting; that is, for positive input signals, Q1 provides the base
current drive to Q6 so that it conducts (sinks) current. For
negative input signals, the signal path via Q1-Q2-D1-Q4-Q3
provides the base current drive for Q5 to conduct (source) current. Both amplifiers provide output current until they are
forced into saturation, which occurs at approximately 20 mV
from negative rail and 100 mV from the positive supply rail.

For example, Figure 41 illustrates a simplified equivalent circuit
for the OP184/OP284/OP484’s input stage. It is comprised of
an NPN differential pair, Q1-Q2, and a PNP differential pair,
Q3-Q4, operating concurrently. Diode network D1-D2 serves
to clamp the applied differential input voltage to the OP284,
thereby protecting the input transistors against avalanche damage. Input stage voltage gains are kept low for input rail-to-rail
operation. The two pairs of differential output voltages are connected to the OP284’s second stage, which is a compound folded
cascode gain stage. It is also in the second gain stage where the
two pairs of differential output voltages are combined into a
single-ended output signal voltage used to drive the output

Thus, the saturation voltage of the output transistors sets the
limit on the OP284’s maximum output voltage swing. Output
short circuit current limiting is determined by the maximum
signal current into the base of Q1 from the second gain stage.
Under output short circuit conditions, this input current level is
approximately 100 µA. With transistor current gains around
200, the short circuit current limits are typically 20 mA. The
output stage also exhibits voltage gain. This is accomplished by
use of common-emitter amplifiers, and as a result, the voltage
gain of the output stage (thus, the open-loop gain of the device)
exhibits a dependence to the total load resistance at the output
of the OP284.

Overvoltage Currents to Safe Values
As with any semiconductor device, if conditions exist where the
applied input voltages to the device exceed either supply voltage,
the device’s input overvoltage I-V characteristic must be considered. When an overvoltage occurs, the amplifier could be damaged, depending on the magnitude of the applied voltage and
the magnitude of the fault current. Figure 43 illustrates the over
voltage I-V characteristic of the OP284. This graph was generated with the supply pins connected to GND and a curve

As shown in the figure, internal p-n junctions to the OP284 energize and permit current flow from the inputs to the supplies
when the input is 1.8 V more positive and 0.6 V more negative
than the respective supply rails. As illustrated in the simplified
equivalent circuit shown in Figure 41, the OP284 does not have
any internal current limiting resistors; thus, fault currents can
quickly rise to damaging levels.

Output Phase Reversal
Some operational amplifiers designed for single-supply operation exhibit an output voltage phase reversal when their inputs
are driven beyond their useful common-mode range. Typically
for single-supply bipolar op amps, the negative supply determines the lower limit of their common-mode range. With these
devices, external clamping diodes, with the anode connected to
ground and the cathode to the inputs, prevent input signal excursions from exceeding the device’s negative supply (i.e.,
GND), preventing a condition that could cause the output voltage to change phase. JFET-input amplifiers may also exhibit
phase reversal, and, if so, a series input resistor is usually required to prevent it.
Designing Low Noise Circuits in Single Supply Applications
This input current is not inherently damaging to the device,
provided that it is limited to 5 mA or less. For the OP284, once
the input exceeds the negative supply by 0.6 V, the input current quickly exceeds 5 mA. If this condition continues to exist,
an external series resistor should be added at the expense of additional thermal noise. Figure 44 illustrates a typical noninverting configuration for an overvoltage protected amplifier where
the series resistance, RS, is chosen such that:
RS =
For example, a 1 kΩ resistor will protect the OP284 against
input signals up to 5 V above and below the supplies. For other
configurations where both inputs are used, then each input
should be protected against abuse with a series resistor. Again,
in order to ensure optimum dc and ac performance, it is recommended to balance source impedance levels. For more information on the general overvoltage characteristics of amplifiers,
please refer to the 1993 System Applications Guide, Section 1,
pages 56-69. This reference textbook is available from the Analog Devices Literature Center.
The OP284 is free from reasonable input voltage range restrictions, provided that input voltages no greater than the supply
voltages are applied. Although the device’s output will not
change phase, large currents can flow through the input protection diodes as was shown in Figure 43. Therefore, the technique
recommended in the Input Overvoltage Protection section
should be applied to those applications where the likelihood of
input voltages exceeding the supply voltages is high.

In single supply applications, devices like the OP284 extend the
dynamic range of the application through the use of rail-to-rail
operation. In fact, the OP284 family is the first of its kind to
combine single supply, rail-to-rail operation and low noise in
one device. It is the first device in the industry to exhibit an
input noise voltage spectral density of less than 4 nV/√Hz at
1 kHz. It was also designed specifically for low-noise, singlesupply applications, and as such, some discussion on circuit
noise concepts in single supply applications is appropriate.

Determine Total Circuit Equivalent Input Noise Voltage
and Noise Figure
Since circuit SNR is the critical parameter in the final analysis,
the noise behavior of a circuit is often expressed in terms of its
noise figure, NF. Noise figure is defined as the ratio of a
circuit’s output signal-to-noise to its input signal-to-noise. An
expression of a circuit’s NF in dB, and in terms of the operational amplifier’s voltage and current noise parameters defined
previously, is given by:

NF (dB) = 10 log 1 +  nOA

where NF (dB) = Noise figure of the circuit, expressed in dB,
RS = Effective, or equivalent, source resistance presented
to amplifier,
(enOA)2 = OP284 noise voltage spectral power (1 Hz BW),
(inOA)2 = OP284 noise current spectral power (1 Hz BW),
(enRS)2 = Source resistance thermal noise voltage power
= (4kTRS),
Circuit noise figure is straightforward to calculate because the
signal level in the application is not required to determine it.
However, many designers using NF calculations as the basis for
achieving optimum SNR believe that low noise figure is equal to
low total noise. In fact, the opposite is true, as illustrated in
Figure 47. Here, the noise figure of the OP284 is expressed as a
function of the source resistance level. Note that the lowest
noise figure for the OP284 occurs at a source resistance level of
10 kΩ. However, Figure 46 shows that this source resistance
level and the OP284 generate approximately 14 nV/√Hz of total
equivalent circuit noise. Signal levels in the application would
invariably be increased to maximize circuit SNR—not an option
in low voltage, single supply applications.
As a design aid, Figure 46 illustrates the total equivalent input
noise of the OP284 and the total thermal noise of a resistor for
comparison. Note that for source resistance less than 1 kΩ, the
equivalent input noise voltage of the OP284 is dominant.

Overdrive Recovery
The overdrive recovery time of an operational amplifier is the
time required for the output voltage to recover to its linear region from a saturated condition. The recovery time is important
in applications where the amplifier must recover quickly after a
large transient event. The circuit shown in Figure 48 was used
to evaluate the OP284’s overload recovery time. The OP284
takes approximately 2 µs to recover from positive saturation and
approximately 1 µs to recover from negative saturation.

The OP284’s low noise, wide bandwidth, and rail-to-rail input/
output operation makes it ideal for low supply voltage applications such as in a two op amp instrumentation amplifier as
shown in Figure 49. The circuit uses the classic two op amp instrumentation amplifier topology with four resistors to set the
gain. The transfer equation of the circuit is identical to that of a
noninverting amplifier. Resistors R2 and R3 should be closely
matched to each other as well as to resistors (R1 + P1) and R4
to ensure good common-mode rejection performance. Resistor
networks should be used in this circuit for R2 and R3 because
they exhibit the necessary relative tolerance matching for good
performance. Matched networks also exhibit tight relative resistor temperature coefficients for good circuit temperature stability. Trimming potentiometer P1 is used for optimum dc CMR
adjustment, and C1 is used to optimize ac CMR. With the circuit values as shown, circuit CMR is better than 80 dB over the
frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Circuit RTI (Referred-toInput) noise in the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz band is an impressively low
0.45 µV p-p. Resistors RP1 and RP2 serve to protect the
OP284’s inputs against input overvoltage abuse. Capacitor C2
can be included to the limit circuit bandwidth and, therefore,
wide bandwidth noise in sensitive applications. The value of
this capacitor should be adjusted depending on the required
closed-loop bandwidth of the circuit. The R4-C2 time constant
creates a pole at a frequency equal to:
f (3 dB) =
In many single-supply applications, the need for a 2.5 V reference often arises. Many commercially available monolithic
2.5 V references require at least a minimum operating supply of
4 V. The problem is exacerbated when the minimum operating
supply voltage is +3 V. The circuit illustrated in Figure 50 is an
example of a +2.5 V reference that operates from a single +3 V
supply. The circuit takes advantage of the OP284’s rail-to-rail
input/output voltage ranges to amplify an AD589’s 1.235 V
output to +2.5 V. The OP284’s low TCVOS of 1.5 µV/°C helps
maintain an output voltage temperature coefficient that is dominated by the temperature coefficients of R2 and R3. In this
circuit with 100 ppm/°C TCR resistors, the output voltage
exhibits a temperature coefficient of 200 ppm/°C. Lower tempco
resistors are recommended for more accurate performance over
temperature.
One measure of the performance of a voltage reference is its
capacity to recover from sudden changes in load current. While
sourcing a steady-state load current of 1 mA, this circuit recovers to 0.01% of the programmed output voltage in 1.5 µs for a
total change in load current of ± 1 mA.

The OP284 is ideal for use with a CMOS DAC to generate a
digitally-controlled voltage with a wide output range. Figure 51
shows a DAC8043 used in conjunction with the AD589 to generate a voltage output from 0 V to 1.23 V. The DAC is actually
operating in “voltage switching” mode where the reference is
connected to the current output, IOUT, and the output voltage is
taken from the VREF pin. This topology is inherently noninverting as opposed to the classic current output mode, which is
inverting and not usable in single supply applications.

buffers the high output impedance of the DAC’s VREF pin,
which is on the order of 10 kΩ. The op amp provides a low
impedance output to drive any following circuitry. Second, the
op amp amplifies the output signal to provide a rail-to-rail output swing. In this particular case, the gain is set to 4.1 so that
the circuit generates a 5 V output when the DAC output is at
full scale. If other output voltage ranges are needed, such as 0 V
≤ VOUT ≤ 4.095 V, the gain can be easily changed by adjusting
the values of R2 and R3.
The OP284 exhibits excellent capacitive load driving capabilities. It can drive up to 1 nF as shown in Figure 27. Even
though the device is stable, a capacitive load does not come
without penalty in bandwidth. The bandwidth is reduced to
under 1 MHz for loads greater than 2 nF. A “snubber” network
on the output does not increase the bandwidth, but it does significantly reduce the amount of overshoot for a given capacitive
load. A snubber consists of a series R-C network (RS, CS), as
shown in Figure 53, connected from the output of the device to
ground. This network operates in parallel with the load capacitor, CL, to provide the necessary phase lag compensation. The
value of the resistor and capacitor is best determined empirically.

A High-Side Current Monitor
In the design of power supply control circuits, a great deal of
design effort is focused on ensuring a pass transistor’s long-term
reliability over a wide range of load current conditions. As a
result, monitoring and limiting device power dissipation is of
prime importance in these designs. The circuit illustrated in
Figure 52 is an example of a +3 V, single-supply high-side current monitor that can be incorporated into the design of a voltage regulator with fold-back current limiting or a high current
power supply with crowbar protection. This design uses an
OP284’s rail-to-rail input voltage range to sense the voltage
drop across a 0.1 Ω current shunt. A p-channel MOSFET used
as the feedback element in the circuit converts the op amp’s differential input voltage into a current. This current is applied to
R2 to generate a voltage that is a linear representation of the
load current. The transfer equation for the current monitor is
given by:

Figure 53. Snubber Network Compensates for Capacitive
Load
The first step is to determine the value of the resistor RS. A
good starting value is 100 Ω (typically, the optimum value will
be less than 100 Ω). This value is reduced until the small-signal
transient response is optimized. Next, CS is determined—10 µF
is a good starting point. This value is reduced to the smallest
value for acceptable performance (typically, 1 µF). For the case
of a 10 nF load capacitor on the OP284, the optimal snubber
network is a 20 Ω in series with 1 µF. The benefit is immediately apparent as shown in the scope photo in Figure 54. The
top trace was taken with a 1 nF load, and the bottom trace was
taken with the 50 Ω, 100 nF snubber network in place. The
amount of overshoot and ringing is dramatically reduced. Table I
below illustrates a few sample snubber networks for large load
capacitors.

OP184/OP284/OP484
Figure 55 shows such a regulator set up using an OP284 plus a
low RDS(ON), P-channel MOSFET pass device. Part of the low
dropout performance of this circuit is provided by Q1, which
has a rating of 0.11 Ω with a gate drive voltage of only 2.7 V.
This relatively low gate drive threshold allows operation of the
regulator on supplies as low as 3 V without compromising overall performance.

For this example, since VOUT of 4.5 V with VOUT2 = 2.5 V requires a U1B gain of 1.8 times, R3 and R2 are chosen for a ratio
of 1.2:1 or 10.0 kΩ:8.06 kΩ (using closest 1% values). Note
that for the lowest VOUT dc error, R2iR3 should be maintained
equal to R1 (as here), and the R2-R3 resistors should be stable,
close tolerance metal film types. The table in Figure 55 summarizes R1-R3 values for some popular voltages. However,
note that, in general, the output can be anywhere between
VOUT2 and the 12 V maximum rating of Q1.

A Low Dropout Regulator with Current Limiting
While the low voltage saturation characteristic of Q1 is a key
part of the low dropout, another component is a low current
sense comparison threshold with good dc accuracy. Here, this
is provided by current sense amplifier U1A, which is provided
by a 20 mV reference from the 1.235 V AD589 reference diode
D2 and the R7-R8 divider. When the product of the output
current and the RS value match this voltage threshold, the current control loop is activated, and U1A drives Q1’s gate through
D1. This causes the overall circuit operation to enter current
mode control with a current limit ILIMIT defined as:
Many circuits require stable regulated voltages relatively close,
in potential to an unregulated input source. This “low dropout”
type of regulator is readily implemented with a rail-to-rail output op amp such as the OP284 because the wide output swing
allows easy drive to a low saturation voltage pass device. Furthermore, it is particularly useful when the op amp also enjoys a
rail-rail input feature, as this factor allows it to perform highside current sensing for positive rail current limiting. Typical examples are voltages developed from 3 V to 9 V range system
sources or anywhere where low dropout performance is required
for power efficiency. The 4.5 V case here works from 5 V nominal sources with worst-case levels down to 4.6 V or less.

Obviously, it is desirable to keep this comparison voltage small,
since it becomes a significant portion of the overall dropout
voltage. Here, the 20 mV reference is higher than the typical
offset of the OP284 but still reasonably low as a percentage of
VOUT (< 0.5%). In adapting the limiter for other ILIMIT levels,
sense resistor RS should be adjusted along with R7-R8, to maintain this threshold voltage between 20 mV and 50 mV.
physiological signals, such as heart rates, blood pressure readings, EEGs, EKGs, etc. This notch filter effectively squelches
60 Hz pickup at a filter Q of 0.75. Substituting 3.16 kΩ resistors for the 2.67 kΩ in the twin-T section (R1 through R5)
configures the active filter to reject 50 Hz interference.
R2
2.67kΩ
+3V
Performance of the circuit is excellent. For the 4.5 V output
version, the measured dc output change for a 225 mA load
change was on the order of a few microvolts while the dropout
voltage at this same current level was about 30 mV. The current
limit as shown is 400 mA, which allows the circuit to be used at
levels up to 300 mA or more. While the Q1 device can actually
support currents of several amperes, a practical current rating
takes into account the SO-8 device’s 2.5 W, 25°C dissipation.
Because a short circuit current of 400 mA at an input level of 5
V will cause a 2 W dissipation in Q1, other input conditions
should be considered carefully in terms of Q1’s potential overheating. Of course, if higher powered devices are used for Q1,
this circuit can support outputs of tens of amperes as well as the
higher VOUT levels noted above.
The circuit shown can be used either as a standard low dropout
regulator, or it can be used with ON/OFF control. By
driving Pin 3 of U1 with the optional logic control signal VC, the
output is switched between ON and OFF. Note that when the
output is OFF in this circuit, it is still active (i.e., not an open circuit). This is because the OFF state simply reduces the voltage
input to R1, leaving the U1A/B amplifiers and Q1 still active.
When ON/OFF control is used, resistor R10 should be used
with U1 to speed ON-OFF switching and to allow the output of
the circuit to settle to a nominal zero voltage. Components D3
and R11 also aid in speeding up the ON-OFF transition by providing a dynamic discharge path for C2. OFF-ON transition
time is less than 1 ms, while the ON-OFF transition is longer
but under 10 ms.
A +3 V, 50 Hz/60 Hz Active Notch Filter with False Ground
To process signals in a single-supply system, it is often best
to use a false ground biasing scheme. A circuit that uses this
approach is illustrated in Figure 56. In this circuit, a false-ground
circuit biases an active notch filter used to reject 50 Hz/60 Hz
power line interference in portable patient monitoring equipment. Notch filters are quite commonly used to reject power
line frequency interference that often obscures low frequency

Figure 56. A +3 V Single Supply, 50/60 Hz Active Notch
Filter with False Ground
Amplifier A3 is the heart of the false-ground bias circuit. It
simply buffers the voltage developed at R9 and R10 and is the
reference for the active notch filter. Since the OP484 exhibits a
rail-to-rail input common-mode range, R9 and R10 are chosen
to split the +3 V supply symmetrically. An in-the-loop compensation scheme is used around the OP484 that allows the op amp
to drive C6, a 1 µF capacitor, without oscillation. C6 maintains
a low impedance ac ground over the operating frequency range
of the filter.
The filter section uses a OP484 in a twin-T configuration whose
frequency selectivity is very sensitive to the relative matching of
the capacitors and resistors in the twin-T section. Mylar is the
material of choice for the capacitors, and the relative matching
of the capacitors and resistors determines the filter’s pass band
symmetry. Using 1% resistors and 5% capacitors produces
satisfactory results.
