Leakage Testing 3 Description Featuring 100% tested input currents of 25 fA maximum, low operating power, and ESD protection of 2000 V, the LMC6001 device achieves a new industry benchmark for low input current operational amplifiers. By tightly controlling the molding compound, Texas Instruments is able to offer this ultra-low input current in a lower cost molded package. To avoid long turnon settling times common in other low input current op amps, the LMC6001A is tested three times in the first minute of operation. Even units that meet the 25-fA limit are rejected if they drift. Because of the ultra-low input current noise of 0.13 fA/√Hz, the LMC6001 can provide almost noiseless amplification of high resistance signal sources. Adding only 1 dB at 100 kΩ, 0.1 dB at 1 MΩ and 0.01 dB or less from 10 MΩ to 2,000 MΩ, the LMC6001 is an almost noiseless amplifier. The LMC6001 is ideally suited for electrometer applications requiring ultra-low input leakage such as sensitive photodetection transimpedance amplifiers and sensor amplifiers. Because input referred noise is only 22 nV/√Hz, the LMC6001 can achieve higher signal to noise ratio than JFET input type electrometer amplifiers. Other applications of the LMC6001 include long interval integrators, ultra-high input impedance instrumentation amplifiers, and sensitive electrical-field measurement circuits.

In addition, its ultra-low input current noise of 0.13 fA/√Hz allows almost noiseless amplification of high-resistance signal sources. LMC6001 is ideally suited for electrometer applications requiring ultra-low input leakage current such as sensitive photodetection transimpedance amplifiers and sensor amplifiers. 7.2 Functional Block Diagram 7.3 Feature Description 7.3.1 Amplifier Topology The LMC6001 incorporates a novel op amp design topology that enables it to maintain rail-to-rail output swing even when driving a large load. Instead of relying on a push-pull unity gain output buffer stage, the output stage is taken directly from the internal integrator, which provides both low output impedance and large gain. Special feed-forward compensation design techniques are incorporated to maintain stability over a wider range of operating conditions than traditional op amps. These features make the LMC6001 both easier to design with, and provide higher speed than products typically found in this low-power class. 7.3.2 Latch-Up Prevention CMOS devices tend to be susceptible to latch-up due to their internal parasitic SCR effects. The (I/O) input and output pins look similar to the gate of the SCR. There is a minimum current required to trigger the SCR gate lead. The LMC6001 is designed to withstand 100-mA surge current on the I/O pins. Some resistive method should be used to isolate any capacitance from supplying excess current to the I/O pins. In addition, like an SCR, there is a minimum holding current for any latch-up mode. Limiting current to the supply pins will also inhibit latch-up susceptibility. 7.4 Device Functional Modes The LMC6001 has a single functional mode and operates according to the conditions listed in Recommended Operating Conditions. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 1995–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMC6001 LMC6001 www.ti.com SNOS694I – MARCH 1995 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2015 8 Applications and Implementation NOTE Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality. 8.1 Application Information 8.1.1 Compensating For Input Capacitance It is quite common to use large values of feedback resistance for amplifiers with ultra-low input current, like the LMC6001. Although the LMC6001 is highly stable over a wide range of operating conditions, certain precautions must be met to achieve the desired pulse response when a large feedback resistor is used. Large feedback resistors with even small values of input capacitance, due to transducers, photodiodes, and printed-circuit-board parasitics, reduce phase margins. When high input impedances are demanded, TI suggests guarding the LMC6001. Guarding input lines will not only reduce leakage, but lowers stray input capacitance as well. See Printed-Circuit-Board Layout For HighImpedance Work. The effect of input capacitance can be compensated for by adding a capacitor, Cf, around the feedback resistors (as in Figure 19) such that: (1) or R1 CIN ≤ R2 Cf (2) Because it is often difficult to know the exact value of CIN, Cf can be experimentally adjusted so that the desired pulse response is achieved. Refer to the LMC660 (SNOSBZ3) and LMC662 (SNOSC51) for a more detailed discussion on compensating for input capacitance. Figure 19. Cancelling the Effect of Input Capacitance 8.1.2 Capacitive Load Tolerance All rail-to-rail output swing operational amplifiers have voltage gain in the output stage. A compensation capacitor is normally included in this integrator stage. The frequency location of the dominant pole is affected by the resistive load on the amplifier. Capacitive load driving capability can be optimized by using an appropriate resistive load in parallel with the capacitive load. See Typical Characteristics. Direct capacitive loading will reduce the phase margin of many op amps. A pole in the feedback loop is created by the combination of the output impedance of the op amp and the capacitive load. This pole induces phase lag at the unity-gain crossover frequency of the amplifier resulting in either an oscillatory or underdamped pulse response. With a few external components, op amps can easily indirectly drive capacitive loads, as shown in Figure 20.

LMC6001 Noninverting Gain of 10 Amplifier, Compensated to Handle Capacitive Loads In the circuit of Figure 20, R1 and C1 serve to counteract the loss of phase margin by feeding the high frequency component of the output signal back to the inverting input of the amplifier, thereby preserving phase margin in the overall feedback loop. Capacitive load driving capability is enhanced by using a pullup resistor to V+ (Figure 21). Typically a pullup resistor conducting 500 μA or more will significantly improve capacitive load responses. The value of the pullup 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 pullup resistor. See DC Electrical Characteristics for LMC6001AI. Figure 21. Compensating for Large Capacitive Loads With a Pullup Resistor 8.2 Typical Application The extremely high input resistance, and low power consumption, of the LMC6001 make it ideal for applications that require battery-powered instrumentation amplifiers. Examples of these types of applications are hand-held pH probes, analytic medical instruments, electrostatic field detectors and gas chromotographs. R2 R1 VIN ± LMC6001 VOUT + Figure 22.

Because of this high value, it is very important that the amplifier input currents be as small as possible. The LMC6001 with less than 25-fA input current is an ideal choice for this application. The LMC6001 amplifies the probe output providing a scaled voltage of ±100 mV/pH from a pH of 7. The second op amp, a micropower LMC6041 provides phase inversion and offset so that the output is directly proportional to pH, over the full range of the probe. The pH reading can now be directly displayed on a low-cost, low-power digital panel meter. Total current consumption will be about 1 mA for the whole system. The micropower dual-operational amplifier, LMC6042, would optimize power consumption but not offer these advantages: 1. The LMC6001A ensures a 25-fA limit on input current at 25°C. 2. The input ESD protection diodes in the LMC6042 are only rated at 500 V while the LMC6001 has much more robust protection that is rated at 2000 V.

Ph Probe Amplifier 8.2.1.1 Design Requirements The theoretical output of the standard Ag/AgCl pH probe is 59.16 mV/pH at 25°C with 0 V out at a pH of 7.00. This output is proportional to absolute temperature. To compensate for this, a temperature-compensating resistor, R1, is placed in the feedback loop. This cancels the temperature dependence of the probe. This resistor must be mounted where it will be at the same temperature as the liquid being measured. 8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure The set-up and calibration is simple with no interactions to cause problems.

Disconnect the pH probe and with R3 set to about mid-range and the noninverting input of the LMC6001 grounded, adjust R8 until the output is 700 mV. 2. Apply −414.1 mV to the noninverting input of the LMC6001. Adjust R3 for and output of 1400 mV. This completes the calibration. As real pH probes may not perform exactly to theory, minor gain and offset adjustments should be made by trimming while measuring a precision buffer solution. 8.2.1.3 Application Curve VS = ±5 V Figure 24. Input Current vs. VCM 8.3 System Example 8.3.1 Ultra-Low Input Current Instrumentation Amplifier Figure 25 shows an instrumentation amplifier that features high-differential and common-mode input resistance (>1014Ω), 0.01% gain accuracy at AV = 1000, excellent CMRR with 1-MΩ imbalance in source resistance. Input current is less than 20 fA and offset drift is less than 2.5 μV/°C. R2 provides a simple means of adjusting gain over a wide range without degrading CMRR. R7 is an initial trim used to maximize CMRR without using super precision matched resistors. For good CMRR over temperature, low-drift resistors should be used. If R1 = R5, R3 = R6, and R4 = R7; then ∴AV ≈ 100 for circuit shown (R2 = 9.85k). Figure 25.

When one wishes to take advantage of the ultra-low bias current of the LMC6001, typically less than 10 fA, it is essential to have an excellent layout. Fortunately, the techniques of obtaining low leakages are quite simple. First, the user must not ignore the surface leakage of the PCB, 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 inputs of the LMC6001 and the terminals of capacitors, diodes, conductors, resistors, relay terminals, and so forth, connected to the inputs of the op amp, as in Figure 30. To have a significant effect, guard rings must be placed on both the top and bottom of the PCB. This PC foil must then be connected to a voltage which is at the same voltage as the amplifier inputs, because no leakage current can flow between two points at the same potential. For example, a PCB trace-to-pad resistance of 10 TΩ, which is normally considered a very large resistance, could leak 5 pA if the trace were a 5-V bus adjacent to the pad of the input. This would cause a 500 times degradation from the LMC6001's actual performance. If a guard ring is used and held within 1 mV of the inputs, then the same resistance of 10 TΩ will only cause 10 fA of leakage current. Even this small amount of leakage will degrade the extremely low input current performance of the LMC6001. See Figure 28 for typical connections of guard rings for standard op amp configurations. Figure 26. Inverting Amplifier Figure 27. Noninverting Amplifier Figure 28. Typical Connections Of Guard Rings Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 1995–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMC6001 19 LMC6001 SNOS694I – MARCH 1995 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2015 www.ti.com Layout Guidelines (continued) The designer should be aware that when it is inappropriate to lay out a PCB for the sake of just a few circuits, there is another technique which is even better than a guard ring on a PCB: Do not insert the input pin of the amplifier 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 PCB construction, but the advantages are sometimes well worth the effort of using point-to-point up-in-the-air wiring. See Figure 29. (Input pins are lifted out of PCB and soldered directly to components. All other pins connected to PCB). Figure 29. Air Wiring Another potential source of leakage that might be overlooked is the device package. When the LMC6001 is manufactured, the device is always handled with conductive finger cots. This is to assure that salts and skin oils do not cause leakage paths on the surface of the package. We recommend that these same precautions be adhered to, during all phases of inspection, test and assembly. 10.2 Layout Example Figure 30.
