The OP181, OP281 and OP481 are single, dual and quad
ultralow power, single-supply amplifiers featuring rail-to-rail
outputs. All operate from supplies as low as 2.0 V and are
specified at +3 V and +5 V single supply as well as ± 5 V dual
supplies.
Fabricated on Analog Devices’ CBCMOS process, the OP181
family features a precision bipolar input and an output that
swings to within millivolts of the supplies and continues to sink
or source current all the way to the supplies.
Applications for these amplifiers include safety monitoring,
portable equipment, battery and power supply control, and
signal conditioning and interface for transducers in very low
power systems.
The output’s ability to swing rail-to-rail and not increase supply
current, when the output is driven to a supply voltage, enables
the OP181 family to be used as comparators in very low power
systems. This is enhanced by their fast saturation recovery time.
Propagation delays are 250 µs.
The OP181/OP281/OP481 are specified over the extended
industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature range. The OP181,
single, and OP281, dual, amplifiers are available in 8-pin plastic
DIPs and SO surface mount packages. The OP281 is also
available in 8-lead TSSOP. The OP481 quad is available in 14pin DIPs, narrow 14-pin SO and TSSOP packages.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the OP181/OP281/OP481 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

APPLICATIONS
where: VEE is the negative power supply for the amplifier, and
THEORY OF OPERATION
VIN, MIN is the lowest input voltage excursion expected
The OPx81 family of op amps is comprised of extremely low
powered, rail-to-rail output amplifiers, requiring less than 4 µA
of quiescent current per amplifier. Many other competitors’
devices may be advertised as low supply current amplifiers but
draw significantly more current as the outputs of these devices
are driven to a supply rail. The OPx81’s supply current remains
under 4 µA even with the output driven to either supply rail.
Supply currents should meet the specification as long as the inputs
and outputs remain within the range of the power supplies.
For example, an OP181 is to be used with a single supply voltage of 5 V where the input signal could possibly go as low as
–1.0 V. Because the amplifier is powered from a single supply,
VEE is ground, so the necessary series resistance should be 2 kΩ.
Input Offset Voltage Nulling
Figure 32 shows a simplified schematic of the OP181. A bipolar
differential pair is used in the input stage. PNP transistors are
used to allow the input stage to remain linear with the commonmode range extending to ground. This is an important consideration for single supply applications. The bipolar front end also
contributes less noise than a MOS front end with only nanoamps of bias currents. The output of the op amp consists of a
pair of CMOS transistors in a common source configuration.
This setup allows the output of the amplifier to swing to within
millivolts of either supply rail. The headroom required by the
output stage is limited by the amount of current being driven
into the load. The lower the output current, the closer the
output can go to either supply rail. Figures 7, 8 and 9 show the
output voltage headroom versus load current. This behavior is
typical of rail-to-rail output amplifiers.
The OPx81 family of op amps was designed for low offset
voltages less than 1 mV. The single OP181 does provide two
offset adjust terminals, should the user require greater precision.
In general, these terminals should be used only to zero amplifier
offsets and should not be used to adjust system offset voltages.
A 20 kΩ potentiometer connected to the offset adjust terminals,
with the wiper connected to VEE, can be used to reduce the
offset voltage of the amplifier. The OP181 should be connected
in the unity-gain configuration (as shown in Figure 33) or in a
gain configuration. The potentiometer should be adjusted until
VOUT is minimized. The wiper of the potentiometer must be
connected to VEE; connecting it to the positive supply rail could
damage the device.

Input Overvoltage Protection
The input stage to the OPx81 family of op amps consists of a
PNP differential pair. If the base voltage of either of these input
transistors drops to more than 0.6 V below the negative supply,
the input ESD protection diodes will become forward biased,
and large currents will begin to flow. In addition to possibly
damaging the device, this will create a phase reversal effect at
the output. To prevent these effects from happening, the input
current should be limited to less than 0.5 mA.
This can be done quite easily by placing a resistor in series with
the input to the device. The size of the resistor should be proportional to the lowest possible input signal excursion and can
be found using the following formula:
R=
VEE − VIN , MIN
0.5 × 10 −3
The OPx81 is rated with an input common-mode voltage range
from VEE to 1 volt under VCC. However, the op amp can still
operate even with a common-mode voltage that is slightly less
than VEE. Figure 34 shows an OP181 configured as a difference
amplifier with a single supply voltage of +3 V. Negative dc
voltages are applied at both input terminals creating a commonmode voltage that is less than ground. A 400 mV p-p input
signal is then applied to the noninverting input. Figure 35 shows
a picture of the input and output waves. Notice how the output
of the amplifier also drops slightly negative without distortion.

Overdrive Recovery Time
The amount of time it takes for an amplifier to recover from
saturation can be an important consideration when using an
amplifier as a comparator or when outputs can be driven to the
supplies. The overdrive recovery time for the OP181 is 50 µs
with the amplifier running from a 3 volt supply and increases
to 100 µs with a 10 volt supply. Figure 36 shows the result of
the OP181 running from a 3 V supply with its output being
overdriven.

A Micropower Reference Voltage Generator
Many single supply circuits are configured with the circuit
biased to 1/2 of the supply voltage. In these cases, a falseground reference can be created by using a voltage divider
buffered by an amplifier. Figure 38 shows the schematic for
such a circuit.
The two 1 MΩ resistors generate the reference voltage while
drawing only 1.5 µA of current from a 3 V supply. A capacitor
connected from the inverting terminal to the output of the op
amp provides compensation to allow for a bypass capacitor to be
connected at the reference output. This bypass capacitor helps
establish an ac ground for the reference output. The entire
reference generator draws less than 5 µA from a 3 V supply
source.

Figure 36. Output of the Op Amp Recovering from

Most low supply current amplifiers have difficulty driving
capacitive loads due to the higher currents required from the
output stage for such loads. Higher capacitance at the output
will increase the amount of overshoot and ringing in the
amplifier’s step response and could even affect the stability of
the device. However, through careful design of the output stage
and its high phase margin, the OPx81 family can tolerate some
degree of capacitive loading. Figure 37 shows the step response
of an OP181 with a 10 nF capacitor connected at the output.
Notice that the overshoot of the output does not exceed more
than 10% with such a load, even with a supply voltage of only
+3 V.

Figure 39. Using the OP281 as a Window Comparator
The threshold limits for the window are set by VH and VL,
provided that VH > VL. The output of A1 will stay at the
negative rail, in this case ground, as long as the input voltage is
less than VH. Similarly, the output of A2 will stay at ground as
long the input voltage is higher than VL. As long as VIN remains
between VL and VH, the outputs of both op amps will be 0 V.
With no current flowing in either D1 or D2, the base of Q1 will
stay at ground, putting the transistor in cutoff and forcing VOUT
to the positive supply rail. If the input voltage rises above VH,
the output of A2 stays at ground, but the output of A1 will go to
the positive rail, and D1 will conduct current. This creates a
base voltage that will turn on Q1 and drive VOUT low. The same
condition occurs if VIN falls below VL with A2’s output going
high, and D2 conducting current. Therefore, VOUT will be high
if the input voltage is between VL and VH, and VOUT will be low
if the input voltage moves outside of that range.
The R1 and R2 voltage divider sets the upper window voltage,
and the R3 and R4 voltage divider sets the lower voltage for the
window. For the window comparator to function properly, VH
must be a greater voltage than VL.

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. Figure 40 shows an example
of a +5 V, single-supply 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. The design capitalizes on the OP181’s commonmode range that extends to ground. Current is monitored in the

Amplifier A1 is used as a voltage follower that will only track the
input voltage when it is greater than 0 V. This provides a halfwave rectification of the input signal to the noninverting
terminal of amplifier A2. When A1’s output is following the
input, the inverting terminal of A2 will also follow the input
from the virtual ground between the inverting and noninverting
terminals of A2. With no potential difference across R1, no
current flows through either R1 or R2, therefore the output of
A2 will also follow the input. Now, when the input voltage goes
below 0 V, the noninverting terminal of A2 becomes 0 V. This
makes A2 work as an inverting amplifier with a gain of 1 and
provides a full-wave rectified version of the input signal. A 2 kΩ
resistor in series with A1’s noninverting input protects the
device when the input signal becomes less than ground.
A Battery Powered Telephone Headset Amplifier
Figure 43 shows how the OP281 can be used as a two-way
amplifier in a telephone headset. One side of the OP281 can be
used as an amplifier for the microphone, while the other side
can be used to drive the speaker. A typical telephone headset
uses a 600 Ω speaker and an electret microphone that requires a
supply voltage and a biasing resistor.

Two-Way Amplifier
The OP281-A op amp provides about 29 dB of gain for audio
signals coming from the microphone. The gain is set by the
300 kΩ and 11 kΩ resistors. The gain bandwidth product of the
amplifier is 95 kHz, which, for the set gain of 28, yields a –3 dB
rolloff at 3.4 kHz. This is acceptable since telephone audio is
band limited for 300 kHz to 3 kHz signals. If higher gain is
required for the microphone, an additional gain stage should be
used, as adding any more gain to the OP281 would limit the
audio bandwidth. A 2.2 kΩ resistor is used to bias the electret
microphone. This resistor value may vary depending on the
specifications on the microphone being used. The output of the
microphone is ac coupled to the noninverting terminal of the op
amp. Two 1 MΩ resistors are used to provide the dc offset for
single supply use.
REV. 0
The OP281-B amplifier can provide up to 15 dB of gain for the
headset speaker. Incoming audio signals are ac coupled to a
10 kΩ potentiometer that is used to adjust the volume. Again,
two 1 MΩ resistors provide the dc offset with a 1 µF capacitor
establishing an ac ground for the volume control potentiometer.
Because the OP281 is a rail-to-rail output amplifier, it would
have difficulty driving a 600 Ω speaker directly. Here, a class AB
buffer is used to isolate the load from the amplifier and also
provide the necessary current drive to the speaker. By placing
the buffer in the feedback loop of the op amp, crossover
distortion can be minimized. Q1 and Q2 should have minimum
betas of 100. The 600 Ω speaker is ac coupled to the emitters to
prevent any quiescent current from flowing in the speaker. The
1 µF coupling capacitor makes an equivalent high pass filter
cutoff at 265 Hz with a 600 Ω load attached. Again, this does
not pose a problem, as it is outside the frequency range for
telephone audio signals.
The circuit in Figure 43 draws around 250 µA of current. The
class AB buffer has a quiescent current of 140 µA while roughly
100 µA is drawn by the microphone itself. A CR2032 3 V
lithium battery has a life expectancy of 160 mA hours, which
means this circuit could run continuously for 640 hours on a
single battery.
