For normal operation, the other pins are between VSS and VDD. Typically, these parts are used in a single (positive) supply configuration. In this case, VSS is connected to ground and VDD is connected to the supply. VDD will need bypass capacitors. © 2012 Microchip Technology Inc. DS25127A-page 17 MCP6V31/1U NOTES: DS25127A-page 18 © 2012 Microchip Technology Inc. MCP6V31/1U 4.0 APPLICATIONS The MCP6V31/1U family of zero-drift op amps is manufactured using Microchip’s state of the art CMOS process. It is designed for precision applications with requirements for small packages and low power. Its low supply voltage and low quiescent current make the MCP6V31/1U devices ideal for battery-powered applications. 4.1 Overview of Zero-Drift Operation Figure 4-1 shows a simplified diagram of the MCP6V31/1U zero-drift op amps. This diagram will be used to explain how slow voltage errors are reduced in this architecture (much better VOS, ∆VOS/∆TA (TC1), CMRR, PSRR, AOL and 1/f noise). The Low-Pass Filter reduces high frequency content, including harmonics of the Chopping Clock. The Output Buffer drives external loads at the VOUT pin (VREF is an internal reference voltage). The Oscillator runs at fOSC1 = 200 kHz. Its output is divided by two, to produce the Chopping Clock rate of fCHOP = 100 kHz. The internal POR part starts the part in a known good state, protecting against power supply brown-outs. The Digital Control block controls switching and POR events. 4.1.2 CHOPPING ACTION Figure 4-2 shows the amplifier connections for the first phase of the Chopping Clock and Figure 4-3 shows them for the second phase. Its slow voltage errors alternate in polarity, making the average error small. VREF Output Buffer VOUT VIN+ VIN+ VIN– Main Amp. VIN– NC Oscillator Aux. Amp.

Its main input pair (+ and - pins at the top left) is used for the higher frequency portion of the input signal. Its auxiliary input pair (+ and - pins at the bottom left) is used for the low frequency portion of the input signal and corrects the op amp’s input offset voltage. Both inputs are added together internally. The Auxiliary Amplifier, Chopper Input Switches and Chopper Output Switches provide a high DC gain to the input signal. DC errors are modulated to higher frequencies, while white noise is modulated to low frequency. © 2012 Microchip Technology Inc. Low-Pass Filter Aux. Amp. FIGURE 4-3: Second Chopping Clock Phase; Equivalent Amplifier Diagram. DS25127A-page 19 MCP6V31/1U 4.1.3 INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD) These op amps will show intermodulation distortion (IMD) products when an AC signal is present. The signal and clock can be decomposed into sine wave tones (Fourier series components). These tones interact with the zero-drift circuitry’s non-linear response to produce IMD tones at sum and difference frequencies. Each of the square wave clock’s harmonics has a series of IMD tones centered on it. See Figure 2-36 and Figure 2-37. 4.2 4.2.1 Other Functional Blocks RAIL-TO-RAIL INPUTS The input stage of the MCP6V31/1U op amps uses two differential CMOS input stages in parallel. One operates at low common mode input voltage (VCM, which is approximately equal to VIN+ and VIN– in normal operation) and the other at high VCM. With this topology, the input operates with VCM up to VDD + 0.2V, and down to VSS – 0.15V, at +25°C (see Figure 2-18). The input offset voltage (VOS) is measured at VCM = VSS – 0.15V and VDD + 0.2V to ensure proper operation. The transition between the input stages occurs when VCM ≈ VDD – 0.9V (see Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8). For the best distortion and gain linearity, with non-inverting gains, avoid this region of operation. 4.2.1.1 VIN+ Bond Pad Input Voltage Limits In order to prevent damage and/or improper operation of these amplifiers, the circuit must limit the voltages at the input pins (see Section 1.1, Absolute Maximum Ratings †). This requirement is independent of the current limits discussed later on. Bond V – IN Pad Input Stage VSS Bond Pad FIGURE 4-4: Structures. Simplified Analog Input ESD The input ESD diodes clamp the inputs when they try to go more than one diode drop below VSS. They also clamp any voltages that well above VDD; their breakdown voltage is high enough to allow normal operation, but not low enough to protect against slow overvoltage (beyond VDD) events. Very fast ESD events (that meet the spec) are limited so that damage does not occur. In some applications, it may be necessary to prevent excessive voltages from reaching the op amp inputs; Figure 4-5 shows one approach to protecting these inputs. D1 and D2 may be small signal silicon diodes, Schottky diodes for lower clamping voltages or diode connected FETs for low leakage. Phase Reversal The input devices are designed to not exhibit phase inversion when the input pins exceed the supply voltages. Figure 2-42 shows an input voltage exceeding both supplies with no phase inversion. 4.2.1.2 VDD Bond Pad VDD U1 D1 MCP6V3X V1 D2 VOUT V2 FIGURE 4-5: Protecting the Analog Inputs Against High Voltages. The ESD protection on the inputs can be depicted as shown in Figure 4-4. This structure was chosen to protect the input transistors against many (but not all) overvoltage conditions, and to minimize input bias current (IB). DS25127A-page 20 © 2012 Microchip Technology Inc. MCP6V31/1U 4.2.1.3 Input Current Limits 4.3 In order to prevent damage and/or improper operation of these amplifiers, the circuit must limit the currents into the input pins (see Section 1.1, Absolute Maximum Ratings †). This requirement is independent of the voltage limits discussed previously. Figure 4-6 shows one approach to protecting these inputs. The resistors R1 and R2 limit the possible current in or out of the input pins (and into D1 and D2). The diode currents will dump onto VDD. V1 V2 R1 MCP6V3X Table 1-1 gives both the linear and quadratic temperature coefficients (TC1 and TC2) of input offset voltage. The input offset voltage, at any temperature in the specified range, can be calculated as follows: EQUATION 4-1: = TA – 25°C VOS(TA) = input offset voltage at TA VOS = input offset voltage at +25°C TC1 = linear temperature coefficient TC2 = quadratic temperature coefficient R2 VSS – min(V1, V2) 2 mA max(V1, V2) – VDD min(R1, R2) > 2 mA FIGURE 4-6: Protecting the Analog Inputs Against High Currents. It is also possible to connect the diodes to the left of resistors R1 and R2. In this case, the currents through the diodes D1 and D2 need to be limited by some other mechanism. The resistors then serve as in-rush current limiters; the DC current into the input pins (VIN+ and VIN–) should be very small. A significant amount of current can flow out of the inputs (through the ESD diodes) when the common mode voltage (VCM) is below ground (VSS); see Figure 2-17. RAIL-TO-RAIL OUTPUT The output voltage range of the MCP6V31/1U zero-drift op amps is VDD – 20 mV (minimum) and VSS + 20 mV (maximum) when RL = 10 kΩ is connected to VDD/2 and VDD = 5.5V. Refer to Figure 2-19 and Figure 2-20 for more information. This op amp is designed to drive light loads; use another amplifier to buffer the output from heavy loads. © 2012 Microchip Technology Inc. 2 ∆T VOUT min(R1, R2) > 4.2.2 INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE OVER TEMPERATURE Where: U1 D2 4.3.1 V OS ( T A ) = VOS + TC 1 Δ T + TC2 Δ T VDD D1 Application Tips 4.3.2 DC GAIN PLOTS Figures 2-9 to 2-11 are histograms of the reciprocals (in units of µV/V) of CMRR, PSRR and AOL, respectively. They represent the change in input offset voltage (VOS) with a change in common mode input voltage (VCM), power supply voltage (VDD) and output voltage (VOUT). The 1/AOL histogram is centered near 0 µV/V because the measurements are dominated by the op amp’s input noise. The negative values shown represent noise and tester limitations, not unstable behavior. Production tests make multiple VOS measurements, which validates an op amp's stability; an unstable part would show greater VOS variability, or the output would stick at one of the supply rails. 4.3.3 OFFSET AT POWER UP When these parts power up, the input offset (VOS) starts at its uncorrected value (usually less than ±5 mV). Circuits with high DC gain can cause the output to reach one of the two rails. In this case, the time to a valid output is delayed by an output overdrive time (like tODR), in addition to the startup time (like tSTR). It can be simple to avoid this extra startup time. Reducing the gain is one method. Adding a capacitor across the feedback resistor (RF) is another method. DS25127A-page 21 MCP6V31/1U SOURCE RESISTANCES The input bias currents have two significant components; switching glitches that dominate at room temperature and below, and input ESD diode leakage currents that dominate at +85°C and above. Make the resistances seen by the inputs small and equal. This minimizes the output offset caused by the input bias currents. The inputs should see a resistance on the order of 10 Ω to 1 kΩ at high frequencies (i.e., above 1 MHz). This helps minimize the impact of switching glitches, which are very fast, on overall performance. In some cases, it may be necessary to add resistors in series with the inputs to achieve this improvement in performance. Small input resistances may be needed for high gains. Without them, parasitic capacitances might cause positive feedback and instability. 4.3.5 GN is the circuit’s noise gain. For non-inverting gains, GN and the Signal Gain are equal. For inverting gains, GN is 1+|Signal Gain| (e.g., -1 V/V gives GN = +2 V/V). 1.E+04 10k RL||(RF + RG) 100 k 1.E+03 1k 1.E+02 100 10p 1.E-11 SOURCE CAPACITANCE The capacitances seen by the two inputs should be small and matched. The internal switches connected to the inputs dump charges on these capacitors; an offset can be created if the capacitances do not match. Large input capacitances and source resistances, together with high gain, can lead to positive feedback and instability. 4.3.6 Figure 4-8 gives recommended RISO values for different capacitive loads and gains. The x-axis is the load capacitance (CL). The y-axis is the resistance (RISO). Recom mmended RISO () 4.3.4 CAPACITIVE LOADS When driving a capacitive load with these op amps, a series resistor at the output (RISO in Figure 4-7) improves the feedback loop’s phase margin (stability) by making the output load resistive at higher frequencies. The bandwidth will be generally lower than the bandwidth with no capacitive load. GN = 100 1n 10n 100n 1.E-09 1.E-08 1.E-07 Capacitive Load (F) 1μ 1.E-06 After selecting RISO for your circuit, double check the resulting frequency response peaking and step response overshoot. Modify RISO's value until the response is reasonable. Bench evaluation is helpful. STABILIZING OUTPUT LOADS This family of zero-drift op amps has an output impedance (Figure 2-31 and Figure 2-32) that has a double zero when the gain is low. This can cause a large phase shift in feedback networks that have low impedance near the part’s bandwidth. This large phase shift can cause stability problems. Figure 4-9 shows that the load on the output is (RL + RISO)||(RF + RG), where RISO is before the load (like Figure 4-7). This load needs to be large enough to maintain performance; it should be at least 10 kΩ. RG RF VOUT RL RISO CL U1 VOUT CL GN = 10 100p 1.E-10 FIGURE 4-8: Recommended RISO values for Capacitive Loads. 4.3.7 Driving large capacitive loads can cause stability problems for voltage feedback op amps. As the load capacitance increases, the feedback loop’s phase margin decreases and the closed-loop bandwidth is reduced. This produces gain peaking in the frequency response, with overshoot and ringing in the step response. These zero-drift op amps have a different output impedance than most op amps, due to their unique topology. GN = 1 MCP6V3X FIGURE 4-9: Output Load.

MCP6V31/1U 4.3.8 GAIN PEAKING 4.3.9 Figure 4-10 shows an op amp circuit that represents non-inverting amplifiers (VM is a DC voltage and VP is the input) or inverting amplifiers (VP is a DC voltage and VM is the input). The capacitances CN and CG represent the total capacitance at the input pins; they include the op amp’s common mode input capacitance (CCM), board parasitic capacitance and any capacitor placed in parallel. The capacitance CFP represents the parasitic capacitance coupling the output and noninverting input pins. RN VP CN CFP Reduce undesired noise and signals with: • Low bandwidth signal filters: - Minimizes random analog noise - Reduces interfering signals • Good PCB layout techniques: - Minimizes crosstalk - Minimizes parasitic capacitances and inductances that interact with fast switching edges • Good power supply design: - Isolation from other parts - Filtering of interference on supply line(s) 4.3.10 U1 MCP6V3X VM RG FIGURE 4-10: Capacitance. CG RF VOUT Amplifier with Parasitic CG acts in parallel with RG (except for a gain of +1 V/V), which causes an increase in gain at high frequencies. CG also reduces the phase margin of the feedback loop, which becomes less stable. This effect can be reduced by either reducing CG or RF||RG. CN and RN form a low-pass filter that affects the signal at VP. This filter has a single real pole at 1/(2πRNCN). The largest value of RF that should be used depends on noise gain (see GN in Section 4.3.6, Capacitive Loads), CG and the open-loop gain’s phase shift. An approximate limit for RF is: EQUATION 4-2: 2 12 pF R F ≤ ( 10 k Ω ) × -------------- × G N CG Some applications may modify these values to reduce either output loading or gain peaking (step response overshoot). At high gains, RN needs to be small, in order to prevent positive feedback and oscillations. Large CN values can also help. © 2012 Microchip Technology Inc. REDUCING UNDESIRED NOISE AND SIGNALS SUPPLY BYPASSING AND FILTERING With this family of operational amplifiers, the power supply pin (VDD for single supply) should have a local bypass capacitor (i.e., 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF) within 2 mm of the pin for good high-frequency performance. These parts also need a bulk capacitor (i.e., 1 µF or larger) within 100 mm to provide large, slow currents. This bulk capacitor can be shared with other low noise, analog parts. In some cases, high-frequency power supply noise (e.g., switched mode power supplies) may cause undue intermodulation distortion, with a DC offset shift; this noise needs to be filtered. Adding a resistor into the supply connection can be helpful. 4.3.11 PCB DESIGN FOR DC PRECISION In order to achieve DC precision on the order of ±1 µV, many physical errors need to be minimized. The design of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB), the wiring, and the thermal environment have a strong impact on the precision achieved. A poor PCB design can easily be more than 100 times worse than the MCP6V31/1U op amps’ minimum and maximum specifications. 4.3.11.1 PCB Layout Any time two dissimilar metals are joined together, a temperature dependent voltage appears across the junction (the Seebeck or thermojunction effect). This effect is used in thermocouples to measure temperature. The following are examples of thermojunctions on a PCB: • Components (resistors, op amps, …) soldered to a copper pad • Wires mechanically attached to the PCB • Jumpers • Solder joints • PCB vias DS25127A-page 23 MCP6V31/1U Typical thermojunctions have temperature to voltage conversion coefficients of 1 to 100 µV/°C (sometimes higher). 4.4 Microchip’s AN1258 (“Op Amp Precision Design: PCB Layout Techniques”) contains in-depth information on PCB layout techniques that minimize thermojunction effects. It also discusses other effects, such as crosstalk, impedances, mechanical stresses and humidity. Many sensors are configured as Wheatstone bridges. Strain gauges and pressure sensors are two common examples. These signals can be small and the common mode noise large. Amplifier designs with high differential gain are desirable. 4.3.11.2 Crosstalk DC crosstalk causes offsets that appear as a larger input offset voltage. Common causes include: Typical Applications 4.4.1 WHEATSTONE BRIDGE Figure 4-11 shows how to interface to a Wheatstone bridge with a minimum of components. Because the circuit is not symmetric, the ADC input is single ended, and there is a minimum of filtering, the CMRR is good enough for moderate common mode noise. • Common mode noise (remote sensors) • Ground loops (current return paths) • Power supply coupling Interference from the mains (usually 50 Hz or 60 Hz), and other AC sources, can also affect the DC performance. Non-linear distortion can convert these signals to multiple tones, including a DC shift in voltage. When the signal is sampled by an ADC, these AC signals can also be aliased to DC, causing an apparent shift in offset. To reduce interference: - Keep traces and wires as short as possible Use shielding Use ground plane (at least a star ground) Place the input signal source near to the DUT Use good PCB layout techniques Use a separate power supply filter (bypass capacitors) for these zero-drift op amps 4.3.11.3 Miscellaneous Effects Keep the resistances seen by the input pins as small and as near to equal as possible, to minimize biascurrent-related offsets. Make the (trace) capacitances seen by the input pins small and equal. This is helpful in minimizing switching glitch-induced offset voltages. Bending a coax cable with a radius that is too small causes a small voltage drop to appear on the center conductor (the triboelectric effect). Make sure the bending radius is large enough to keep the conductors and insulation in full contact. Mechanical stresses can make some capacitor types (such as some ceramics) to output small voltages. Use more appropriate capacitor types in the signal path and minimize mechanical stresses and vibration. Humidity can cause electrochemical potential voltages to appear in a circuit. Proper PCB cleaning helps, as does the use of encapsulants. DS25127A-page 24 0.01C VDD R R 0.2R R R 1 kΩ 100R VDD ADC U1 0.2R MCP6V31 FIGURE 4-11: 4.4.2 Simple Design.
