The negative input currents that may result from large signal overdrive with capacitive input coupling must be limited externally to values of approximately – 1 mA. Negative input currents in excess of – 4 mA causes the output voltage to drop to a low voltage. These values apply for any one of the input terminals. If more than one of the input terminals are simultaneously driven negative, maximum currents are reduced. Common-mode current biasing can be used to prevent negative input voltages. 2 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 LM2900, LM3900 QUADRUPLE NORTON OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS SLOS059 – JULY 1979 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 1990 electrical characteristics, VCC = 15 V, TA = 25°C (unless otherwise noted) IIB LM2900 TEST CONDITIONS† PARAMETER Input bias current (inverting input) II + = 0 MIN Change in mirror gain MAX 30 200 TA = 25°C TA = Full range II+ = 20 µA to 200 µA TA = Full range, range See Note 4 Mirror gain LM3900 TYP MIN 300 09 0.9 TYP MAX 30 200 300 11 1.1 09 0.9 11 1.1 2% 5% 2% 5% 10 500 10 500 UNIT nA µA/µA Mirror current VI + = VI –, See Note 4 g , TA = Full range, AVD Large-signal differential voltage amplification VO = 10 V, f = 100 Hz RL = 10 kΩ, ri Input resistance (inverting input) 1 1 MΩ ro Output resistance 8 8 kΩ B1 Unity-gain bandwidth (inverting input) 2.5 2.5 MHz kSVR Supply voltage rejection ratio (∆VCC /∆VIO) 70 70 dB VOH High-level output voltage III+ = 0 0, II – = 0 VOL Low-level output voltage II + = 0, RL = 2 kΩ II – = 10 µA, IOS Short-circuit output current (output internally high) II + = 0, VO = 0 II – = 0, 1.2 RL = 2 kΩ 1.2 13.5 VCC = 30 V, No load Pulldown current 2.8 2.8 µA V/mV 13.5 29.5 0.09 V 29.5 0.2 0.09 0.2 V –6 – 18 –6 – 10 mA 0.5 1.3 0.5 1.3 mA IOL II – = 5 µA VOL = 1 V 5 5 mA ICC Supply current (four amplifiers) No load 6.2 10 6.2 10 mA † All characteristics are measured under open-loop conditions with zero common-mode voltage unless otherwise specified.

Performance as a dc amplifier in a single-power-supply mode is not as precise as a standard integrated-circuit operational amplifier operating from dual supplies. Operation of the amplifier can best be understood by noting that input currents are differenced at the inverting input terminal and this current then flows through the external feedback resistor to produce the output voltage. Common-mode current biasing is generally useful to allow operating with signal levels near (or even below) ground. Internal transistors clamp negative input voltages at approximately – 0.3 V but the magnitude of current flow has to be limited by the external input network. For operation at high temperature, this limit should be approximately – 100 µA. Noise immunity of a Norton amplifier is less than that of standard bipolar amplifiers. Circuit layout is more critical since coupling from the output to the noninverting input can cause oscillations. Care must also be exercised when driving either input from a low-impedance source. A limiting resistor should be placed in series with the input lead to limit the peak input current. Current up to 20 mA will not damage the device, but the current mirror on the noninverting input will saturate and cause a loss of mirror gain at higher current levels, especially at high operating temperatures.
