LMC6462 Dual/LMC6464 Quad
Micropower, Rail-to-Rail Input and Output CMOS
Operational Amplifier
General Description
Features
The LMC6462/4 is a micropower version of the popular
LMC6482/4, combining Rail-to-Rail Input and Output Range
with very low power consumption.
(Typical unless otherwise noted)
n Ultra Low Supply Current 20 µA/Amplifier
n Guaranteed Characteristics at 3V and 5V
n Rail-to-Rail Input Common-Mode Voltage Range
n Rail-to-Rail Output Swing
(within 10 mV of rail, VS = 5V and RL = 25 kΩ)
n Low Input Current 150 fA
n Low Input Offset Voltage 0.25 mV
The LMC6462/4 provides an input common-mode voltage
range that exceeds both rails. The rail-to-rail output swing of
the amplifier, guaranteed for loads down to 25 kΩ, assures
maximum dynamic sigal range. This rail-to-rail performance
of the amplifier, combined with its high voltage gain makes it
unique among rail-to-rail amplifiers. The LMC6462/4 is an
excellent upgrade for circuits using limited common-mode
range amplifiers.
The LMC6462/4, with guaranteed specifications at 3V and
5V, is especially well-suited for low voltage applications. A
quiescent power consumption of 60 µW per amplifier (at VS
= 3V) can extend the useful life of battery operated systems.
The amplifier’s 150 fA input current, low offset voltage of
0.25 mV, and 85 dB CMRR maintain accuracy in
battery-powered systems.

Note 4: The maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), θJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is PD = (TJ(max)
− TA)/θJA. All numbers apply for packages soldered directly into a PC board.
Note 5: Typical Values represent the most likely parametric norm.
Note 6: All limits are guaranteed by testing or statistical analysis.
Note 7: V+ = 15V, VCM = 7.5V and RL connected to 7.5V. For Sourcing tests, 7.5V ≤ VO ≤ 11.5V. For Sinking tests, 3.5V ≤ VO ≤ 7.5V.
Note 8: Do not short circuit output to V+, when V+ is greater than 13V or reliability will be adversely affected.
Note 9: V+ = 15V. Connected as Voltage Follower with 10V step input. Number specified is the slower of either the positive or negative slew rates.
Note 10: Input referred, V+ = 15V and RL = 100 kΩ connected to 7.5V. Each amp excited in turn with 1 kHz to produce VO = 12 VPP.
Note 11: Connected as Voltage Follower with 2V step input. Number specified is the slower of either the positive or negative slew rates.
Note 12: Limiting input pin current is only necessary for input voltages that exceed absolute maximum input voltage ratings.

Application Information
1.0 Input Common-Mode Voltage Range

supplies with no resulting phase inversion on the output.

beyond either supply rail at room temperature. Voltages
greatly exceeding this absolute maximum rating, as in Figure

Application Information
Another circuit, shown in Figure 6, is also used to indirectly
drive capacitive loads. This circuit is an improvement to the
circuit shown in Figure 4 because it provides DC accuracy as
well as AC stability. R1 and C1 serve to counteract the loss
of phase margin by feeding the high frequency component of
the output signal back to the amplifiers inverting input,
thereby preserving phase margin in the overall feedback
loop. The values of R1 and C1 should be experimentally determined by the system designer for the desired pulse response. Increased capacitive drive is possible by increasing
the value of the capacitor in the feedback loop.

FIGURE 3. Input Current Protection for Voltages

2.0 Rail-to-Rail Output
The approximated output resistance of the LMC6462/4 is
180Ω sourcing, and 130Ω sinking at VS = 3V, and 110Ω
sourcing and 83Ω sinking at VS = 5V. The maximum output
swing can be estimated as a function of load using the calculated output resistance.
3.0 Capacitive Load Tolerance
The LMC6462/4 can typically drive a 200 pF load with VS =
5V at unity gain without oscillating. The unity gain follower is
the most sensitive configuration to capacitive load. Direct capacitive loading reduces the phase margin of op-amps. The
combination of the op-amp’s output impedance and the capacitive load induces phase lag. This results in either an underdamped pulse response or oscillation.
Capacitive load compensation can be accomplished using
resistive isolation as shown in Figure 4. If there is a resistive
component of the load in parallel to the capacitive component, the isolation resistor and the resistive load create a
voltage divider at the output. This introduces a DC error at
the output.

4.0 Compensating for Input Capacitance
It is quite common to use large values of feedback resistance with amplifiers that have ultra-low input current, like
the LMC6462/4. Large feedback resistors can react with
small values of input capacitance due to transducers, photodiodes, and circuits board parasitics to reduce phase
margins.

6.0 Spice Macromodel
A Spice macromodel is available for the LMC6462/4. This
model includes a simulation of:
The effect of input capacitance can be compensated for by
adding a feedback capacitor. The feedback capacitor (as in
Figure 8 ), CF, is first estimated by:
• Input common-mode voltage range
• Frequency and transient response
• GBW dependence on loading conditions
• Quiescent and dynamic supply current
• Output swing dependence on loading conditions
and many more characteristics as listed on the macromodel
disk.

Center to obtain an operational amplifier Spice model library

which typically provides significant overcompensation.
Printed circuit board stray capacitance may be larger or
smaller than that of a breadboard, so the actual optimum
value for CF may be different. The values of CF should be
checked on the actual circuit. (Refer to the LMC660 quad
CMOS amplifier data sheet for a more detailed discussion.)
7.0 Printed-Circuit-Board Layout
for High-Impedance Work
It is generally recognized that any circuit which must operate
with less than 1000 pA of leakage current requires special
layout of the PC board. When one wishes to take advantage
of the ultra-low input current of the LMC6462/4, typically 150
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 PC
board, 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 LMC6462’s inputs and the
terminals of capacitors, diodes, conductors, resistors, relay
terminals, etc. connected to the op-amp’s inputs, as in Figure 11. To have a significant effect, guard rings should be
placed in both the top and bottom of the PC board. This PC
foil must then be connected to a voltage which is at the same
voltage as the amplifier inputs, since no leakage current can
flow between two points at the same potential. For example,
a PC board trace-to-pad resistance of 1012Ω, which is normally considered a very large resistance, could leak 5 pA if
the trace were a 5V bus adjacent to the pad of the input. This
would cause a 30 times degradation from the LMC6462/4’s
actual performance. However, if a guard ring is held within 5
mV of the inputs, then even a resistance of 1011Ω would
cause only 0.05 pA of leakage current. See Figure 12 for
typical connections of guard rings for standard op-amp
configurations.
5.0 Offset Voltage Adjustment
Offset voltage adjustment circuits are illustrated in Figure 9
and Figure 10. Large value resistances and potentiometers
are used to reduce power consumption while providing typically ± 2.5 mV of adjustment range, referred to the input, for
both configurations with VS = ± 5V.

have to forego some of the advantages of PC board construction, but the advantages are sometimes well worth the
effort of using point-to-point up-in-the-air wiring. See Figure

cations that benefit from these features include analytic
medical instruments, magnetic field detectors, gas detectors,
and silicon-based transducers.
A small valued potentiometer is used in series with Rg to set
the differential gain of the three op-amp instrumentation circuit in Figure 14. This combination is used instead of one
large valued potentiometer to increase gain trim accuracy
and reduce error due to vibration.

8.0 Instrumentation Circuits
The LMC6464 has the high input impedance, large
common-mode range and high CMRR needed for designing
instrumentation circuits. Instrumentation circuits designed
with the LMC6464 can reject a larger range of
common-mode signals than most in-amps. This makes instrumentation circuits designed with the LMC6464 an excellent choice for noisy or industrial environments. Other appli-

FIGURE 14. Low Power Three Op-Amp Instrumentation Amplifier
Higher frequency and larger common-mode range applications are best facilitated by a three op-amp instrumentation
amplifier.
A two op-amp instrumentation amplifier designed for a gain
of 100 is shown in Figure 15. Low sensitivity trimming is
made for offset voltage, CMRR and gain. Low cost and low
power consumption are the main advantages of this two
op-amp circuit.

Photocells can be used in portable light measuring instruments. The LMC6462, which can be operated off a battery, is
an excellent choice for this circuit because of its very low input current and offset voltage.
In Figure 18 Figure 19, RI limits current into the amplifier
since excess current can be caused by the input voltage exceeding the supply voltage.

FIGURE 17. Comparator with Hysteresis
Figure 17 shows the application of the LMC6462 as a comparator. The hysteresis is determined by the ratio of the two
resistors. The LMC6462 can thus be used as a micropower
comparator, in applications where the quiescent current is an
important parameter.

For single supply 5V operation, the output of the circuit will
swing from 0V to 5V. The voltage divider set up R2, R3 and
R4 will cause the non-inverting input of the LMC6462 to
move from 1.67V (1⁄3 of 5V) to 3.33V (2⁄3 of 5V). This voltage
behaves as the threshold voltage.

Output offset voltage is the error introduced in the output
voltage due to the inherent input offset voltage VOS, of an
amplifier.
Output Offset Voltage = (Input Offset Voltage) (Gain)
In the above configuration, the resistors R5 and R6 determine the nominal voltage around which the input signal, VIN
should be symmetrical. The high frequency component of
the input signal VIN will be unaffected while the low frequency component will be nulled since the DC level of the
output will be the input offset voltage of the LMC6462 plus
the bias voltage. This implies that the output offset voltage
due to the top amplifier will be eliminated.
