GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP184/OP284/OP484 are single, dual, and quad single-supply,
4 MHz bandwidth amplifiers featuring rail-to-rail inputs and
outputs. They are guaranteed to operate from 3 V to 36 V (or
±1.5 V to ±18 V) and function with a single supply as low as 1.5 V.
These amplifiers are superb for single-supply applications
requiring both ac and precision dc performance. The combination of bandwidth, low noise, and precision makes the
OP184/OP284/OP484 useful in a wide variety of applications,
including filters and instrumentation.
Other applications for these amplifiers include portable telecom
equipment, power supply control and protection, and as
amplifiers or buffers for transducers with wide output ranges.
Sensors requiring a rail-to-rail input amplifier include Hall
effect, piezo electric, and resistive transducers.

The ability to swing rail-to-rail at both the input and output
enables designers to build multistage filters in single-supply
systems and to maintain high signal-to-noise ratios.
The OP184/OP284/OP484 are specified over the hot extended
industrial (–40°C to +125°C) temperature range. The single is
available in 8-lead SOIC surface mount packages. The dual is
available in 8-lead PDIP and SOIC surface mount packages.
The quad OP484 is available in 14-lead PDIP and 14-lead,
narrow-body SOIC packages.

ESD 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 this product 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.

OP184/OP284/OP484
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The OP184/OP284/OP484 are precision single-supply, rail-to-rail
operational amplifiers. Intended for the portable instrumentation
marketplace, the OPx84 family of devices combine the attributes
of precision, wide bandwidth, and low noise to make them a
superb choice in single-supply applications that require both ac
and precision dc performance. Other low supply voltage
applications for which the OP284 is well suited are active filters,
audio microphone preamplifiers, power supply control, and
telecommunications. To combine all of these attributes with
rail-to-rail input/output operation, novel circuit design techniques
are used.
To achieve rail-to-rail output, the OP284 output stage design
employs a unique topology for both sourcing and sinking
current. This circuit topology is illustrated in Figure 45. The
output stage is voltage-driven from the second gain stage. The
signal path through the output stage is inverting; that is, for
positive input signals, Q1 provides the base current drive to Q6
so that it conducts (sinks) current. For negative input signals,
the signal path via Q1→Q2→D1→Q4→Q3 provides the base
current drive for Q5 to conduct (source) current. Both
amplifiers provide output current until they are forced into
saturation, which occurs at approximately 20 mV from the
negative supply rail and 100 mV from the positive supply rail.

Figure 44. OP284 Equivalent Input Circuit
Figure 45. OP284 Equivalent Output Circuit
For example, Figure 44 illustrates a simplified equivalent circuit
for the input stage of the OP184/OP284/OP484. It comprises
an NPN differential pair, Q1→Q2, and a PNP differential pair,
Q3→Q4, operating concurrently. Diode Network D1→Diode
Network D2 serves to clamp the applied differential input
voltage to the OP284, thereby protecting the input transistors
against avalanche damage. Input stage voltage gains are kept low
for input rail-to-rail operation. The two pairs of differential
output voltages are connected to the OP284’s second stage,
which is a compound folded cascade gain stage. It is also in the
second gain stage, where the two pairs of differential output
voltages are combined into a single-ended, output signal voltage
used to drive the output stage. A key issue in the input stage is
the behavior of the input bias currents over the input commonmode voltage range. Input bias currents in the OP284 are the
arithmetic sum of the base currents in Q1→Q3 and in Q2→Q4.
As a result of this design approach, the input bias currents in
the OP284 not only exhibit different amplitudes; they also
exhibit different polarities. This effect is best illustrated by
Figure 10. It is, therefore, of paramount importance that the
effective source impedances connected to the OP284 inputs
be balanced for optimum dc and ac performance.
Thus, the saturation voltage of the output transistors sets the
limit on the OP284 maximum output voltage swing. Output
short-circuit current limiting is determined by the maximum
signal current into the base of Q1 from the second gain stage.
Under output short-circuit conditions, this input current level
is approximately 100 μA. With transistor current gains around 200,
the short-circuit current limits are typically 20 mA. The output
stage also exhibits voltage gain. This is accomplished by the use
of common-emitter amplifiers, and, as a result, the voltage gain
of the output stage (thus, the open-loop gain of the device)
exhibits a dependence to the total load resistance at the output
of the OP284.
INPUT OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
As with any semiconductor device, if conditions exist where the
applied input voltages to the device exceed either supply voltage,
the input overvoltage I-V characteristic of the device must be
considered. When an overvoltage occurs, the amplifier could be
damaged, depending on the magnitude of the applied voltage
and the magnitude of the fault current. Figure 46 illustrates the
overvoltage I-V characteristic of the OP284. This graph was
generated with the supply pins connected to GND and a curve
tracer’s collector output drive connected to the input.

INPUT VOLTAGE (V)
Figure 46. Input Overvoltage I-V Characteristics of the OP284
As shown in Figure 46, internal p-n junctions to the OP284
energize and permit current flow from the inputs to the supplies
when the input is 1.8 V more positive and 0.6 V more negative
than the respective supply rails. As illustrated in the simplified
equivalent circuit shown in Figure 44, the OP284 does not have
any internal current limiting resistors; thus, fault currents can
quickly rise to damaging levels.
This input current is not inherently damaging to the device,
provided that it is limited to 5 mA or less. For the OP284, once
the input exceeds the negative supply by 0.6 V, the input current
quickly exceeds 5 mA. If this condition continues to exist, an
external series resistor should be added at the expense of
additional thermal noise. Figure 47 illustrates a typical
noninverting configuration for an overvoltage-protected
amplifier where the series resistance, RS, is chosen such that
RS =
VIN ( MAX ) − VSUPPLY
5 mA
For example, a 1 kΩ resistor protects the OP284 against input
signals up to 5 V above and below the supplies. For other
configurations where both inputs are used, then each input
should be protected against abuse with a series resistor. Again,
to ensure optimum dc and ac performance, it is recommended
to balance source impedance levels.

OP284
The OP284 is free from reasonable input voltage range
restrictions, provided that input voltages no greater than the
supply voltages are applied. Although device output does not
change phase, large currents can flow through the input
protection diodes as shown in Figure 46. Therefore, the technique
recommended in the Input Overvoltage Protection section
should be applied to those applications where the likelihood of
input voltages exceeding the supply voltages is high.
DESIGNING LOW NOISE CIRCUITS IN SINGLESUPPLY APPLICATIONS
In single-supply applications, devices like the OP284 extend the
dynamic range of the application through the use of rail-to-rail
operation. In fact, the OPx84 family is the first of its kind to
combine single-supply, rail-to-rail operation and low noise in
one device. It is the first device in the industry to exhibit an
input noise voltage spectral density of less than 4 nV/√Hz at
1 kHz. It was also designed specifically for low-noise, singlesupply applications, and as such, some discussion on circuit
noise concepts in single-supply applications is appropriate.
Referring to the op amp noise model circuit configuration
illustrated in Figure 48, the expression for an amplifier’s total
equivalent input noise voltage for a source resistance level, RS,
is given by
[

Some operational amplifiers designed for single-supply
operation exhibit an output voltage phase reversal when their
inputs are driven beyond their useful common-mode range.
Typically, for single-supply bipolar op amps, the negative supply
determines the lower limit of their common-mode range. With
these devices, external clamping diodes, with the anode
connected to ground and the cathode to the inputs, prevent
input signal excursions from exceeding the device’s negative
supply (that is, GND), preventing a condition that causes the
output voltage to change phase. JFET-input amplifiers can also
exhibit phase reversal, and, if so, a series input resistor is usually
required to prevent it.

Figure 50. OP284 Noise Figure vs. Source Resistance
Figure 49. OP284 Total Noise vs. Source Resistance
Because circuit SNR is the critical parameter in the final
analysis, the noise behavior of a circuit is often expressed in
terms of its noise figure, NF. Noise figure is defined as the ratio
of a circuit’s output signal-to-noise to its input signal-to-noise.
An expression of a circuit NF in dB, and in terms of the
operational amplifier voltage and current noise parameters
defined previously, is given by
⎡ ⎛ (e nOA )2 + (i nOA R S )2
NF (dB ) = 10 log ⎢1 + ⎜
(e nRS )2
⎢⎣ ⎜⎝
100k
⎞⎤
⎟⎥
⎟⎥
⎠⎦
where:
NF (dB) is the noise figure of the circuit, expressed in dB.
RS is the effective, or equivalent, source resistance presented to
the amplifier.
In single-supply applications, therefore, it is recommended for
optimum circuit SNR to choose an operational amplifier with
the lowest equivalent input noise voltage and to choose source
resistance levels consistent in maintaining low total circuit
noise.
OVERDRIVE RECOVERY
The overdrive recovery time of an operational amplifier is the
time required for the output voltage to recover to its linear
region from a saturated condition. The recovery time is
important in applications where the amplifier must recover
quickly after a large transient event. The circuit shown in
Figure 51 was used to evaluate the OP284 overload recovery
time. The OP284 takes approximately 2 μs to recover from
positive saturation and approximately 1 μs to recover from
negative saturation.

Circuit noise figure is straightforward to calculate because the
signal level in the application is not required to determine it.
However, many designers using NF calculations as the basis for
achieving optimum SNR believe that low noise figure is equal to
low total noise. In fact, the opposite is true, as shown in Figure 50.
Here, the noise figure of the OP284 is expressed as a function of
the source resistance level. Note that the lowest noise figure for
the OP284 occurs at a source resistance level of 10 kΩ. However,
Figure 49 shows that this source resistance level and the OP284
generate approximately 14 nV/√Hz of total equivalent circuit
noise. Signal levels in the application invariably increase to
maximize circuit SNR, which is not an option in low voltage,
single-supply applications.

2.5 V REFERENCE FROM A 3 V SUPPLY
In many single-supply applications, the need for a 2.5 V
reference often arises. Many commercially available monolithic
2.5 V references require at least a minimum operating supply of
4 V. The problem is exacerbated when the minimum operating
supply voltage is 3 V. The circuit illustrated in Figure 53 is an
example of a 2.5 V reference that operates from a single 3 V
supply. The circuit takes advantage of the OP284 rail-to-rail
input/output voltage ranges to amplify an AD589 1.235 V
output to 2.5 V.

The OP284 is ideal for use with a CMOS DAC to generate a
digitally controlled voltage with a wide output range. Figure 54
shows a DAC8043 used in conjunction with the AD589 to generate a voltage output from 0 V to 1.23 V. The DAC is actually
operating in voltage switching mode, where the reference is
connected to the current output, IOUT, and the output voltage is
taken from the VREF pin. This topology is inherently noninverting,
as opposed to the classic current output mode, which is
inverting and not usable in single-supply applications.

One measure of the performance of a voltage reference is its
capacity to recover from sudden changes in load current. While
sourcing a steady-state load current of 1 mA, this circuit recovers
to 0.01% of the programmed output voltage in 1.5 μs for a total
change in load current of ±1 mA.
00293-054
The low noise, wide bandwidth, and rail-to-rail input/output
operation of the OP284 make it ideal for low supply voltage
applications such as in the two op amp instrumentation
amplifier shown in Figure 52. The circuit uses the classic two
op amp instrumentation amplifier topology with four resistors
to set the gain. The transfer equation of the circuit is identical to
that of a noninverting amplifier. Resistor R2 and Resistor R3
should be closely matched to each other, as well as to Resistors
(R1 + P1) and Resistor R4 to ensure good common-mode
rejection performance. Resistor networks should be used in this
circuit for R2 and R3 because they exhibit the necessary relative
tolerance matching for good performance. Matched networks
also exhibit tight relative resistor temperature coefficients for
good circuit temperature stability. Trimming Potentiometer P1
is used for optimum dc CMR adjustment, and C1 is used to
optimize ac CMR. With the circuit values as shown, Circuit CMR
is better than 80 dB over the frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Circuit RTI (Referred-to-Input) noise in the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz
band is an impressively low 0.45 μV p-p. Resistor RP1 and
Resistor RP2 serve to protect the OP284 inputs against input
overvoltage abuse. Capacitor C2 can be included to the limit
circuit bandwidth and, therefore, wide bandwidth noise
in sensitive applications. The value of this capacitor should be
adjusted depending on the required closed-loop bandwidth of
the circuit. The R4 to C2 time constant creates a pole at a
frequency equal to
The low TCVOS of the OP284 at 1.5 μV/°C helps maintain an
output voltage temperature coefficient that is dominated by the
temperature coefficients of R2 and R3. In this circuit with
100 ppm/°C TCR resistors, the output voltage exhibits a
temperature coefficient of 200 ppm/°C. Lower tempco resistors
are recommended for more accurate performance over
temperature.

AMPLIFIER
In this application the OP284 serves two functions. First, it
buffers the high output impedance of the DAC’s VREF pin, which
is on the order of 10 kΩ. The op amp provides a low impedance
output to drive any following circuitry.

OP184/OP284/OP484
Second, the op amp amplifies the output signal to provide a railto-rail output swing. In this particular case, the gain is set to 4.1
so that the circuit generates a 5 V output when the DAC output
is at full scale. If other output voltage ranges are needed, such as
0 V ≤ VOUT ≤ 4.095 V, the gain can be easily changed by adjusting
the values of R2 and R3.
A snubber consists of a series R-C network (RS, CS), as shown in
Figure 56, connected from the output of the device to ground.
This network operates in parallel with the load capacitor, CL, to
provide the necessary phase lag compensation. The value of the
resistor and capacitor is best determined empirically.

The first step is to determine the value of Resistor RS. A good
starting value is 100 Ω (typically, the optimum value is less than
100 Ω). This value is reduced until the small-signal transient
response is optimized. Next, CS is determined; 10 μF is a good
starting point. This value is reduced to the smallest value for
acceptable performance (typically, 1 μF). For the case of a 10 nF
load capacitor on the OP284, the optimal snubber network is a
20 Ω in series with 1 μF. The benefit is immediately apparent, as
shown in the scope photo in Figure 57. The top trace was taken
with a 1 nF load, and the bottom trace was taken with the 50 Ω,
100 nF snubber network in place. The amount of overshoot and
ringing is dramatically reduced. Table 6 shows a few sample
snubber networks for large load capacitors.

In the design of power supply control circuits, a great deal of
design effort is focused on ensuring the long-term reliability a
of a pass transistor over a wide range of load current conditions.
As a result, monitoring and limiting device power dissipation is
of prime importance in these designs. The circuit illustrated in
Figure 55 is an example of a 3 V, single-supply, high-side 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. This design uses an
OP284’s rail-to-rail input voltage range to sense the voltage
drop across a 0.1 Ω current shunt. A P-channel MOSFET used
as the feedback element in the circuit converts the op amp’s
differential input voltage into a current. This current is applied
to R2 to generate a voltage that is a linear representation of the
load current. The transfer equation for the current monitor is
given by

in Parallel with the 1 nF Load

CAPACITIVE LOAD DRIVE CAPABILITY
The OP284 exhibits excellent capacitive load driving capabilities. It can drive up to 1 nF, as shown in Figure 28. Even
though the device is stable, a capacitive load does not come
without penalty in bandwidth. The bandwidth is reduced to less
than 1 MHz for loads greater than 2 nF. A snubber network
on the output does not increase the bandwidth, but it does
significantly reduce the amount of overshoot for a given
capacitive load.

LOW DROPOUT REGULATOR WITH CURRENT
LIMITING
For this example, because VOUT of 4.5 V with VOUT2 = 2.5 V
requires a U1B gain of 1.8 times, R3 and R2 are chosen for a
ratio of 1.2:1 or 10.0 kΩ:8.06 kΩ (using closest 1% values). Note
that for the lowest VOUT dc error, R2||R3 should be maintained
equal to R1 (as in this example), and the R2 to R3 resistors
should be stable, close tolerance metal film types. The table in
Figure 58 summarizes R1 to R3 values for some popular
voltages. However, note that, in general, the output can be
anywhere between VOUT2 and the 12 V maximum rating of Q1.
Many circuits require stable, regulated voltages relatively close
in potential to an unregulated input source. This low dropout
type of regulator is readily implemented with a rail-to-rail
output op amp, such as the OP284, because the wide output
swing allows easy drive to a low saturation voltage pass device.
Furthermore, it is particularly useful when the op amp also
employs a rail-to-rail input feature because this factor allows it
to perform high-side current sensing for positive rail current
limiting. Typical examples are voltages developed from 3 V to
9 V range system sources or anywhere that low dropout
performance is required for power efficiency. This 4.5 V example
works from 5 V nominal sources with worst-case levels down to
4.6 V or less. Figure 58 shows such a regulator set up, using an
OP284 plus a low RDS(ON), P-channel MOSFET pass device. Part
of the low dropout performance of this circuit is provided by
Q1, which has a rating of 0.11 Ω with a gate drive voltage of
only 2.7 V. This relatively low gate drive threshold allows
operation of the regulator on supplies as low as 3 V without
compromising overall performance.
While the low voltage saturation characteristic of Q1 is a key
part of the low dropout, another component is a low current
sense comparison threshold with good dc accuracy. Here, this
is provided by Current Sense Amplifier U1A, which is provided
by a 20 mV reference from the 1.235 V, AD589 Reference
Diode D2 and the R7 to R8 divider. When the product of the
output current and the RS value match this voltage threshold,
the current control loop is activated, and U1A drives the Q1
gate through D1. This causes the overall circuit operation to
enter current mode control with a current limit, ILIMIT, defined
as

Performance of the circuit is excellent. For the 4.5 V output
version, the measured dc output change for a 225 mA load
change was on the order of a few micro volts, while the dropout
voltage at this same current level was about 30 mV. The current
limit, as shown, is 400 mA, allowing the circuit to be used at
levels up to 300 mA or more. While the Q1 device can actually
support currents of several amperes, a practical current rating
takes into account the 2.5 W, 25°C dissipation of the the SOIC-8
device. Because a short-circuit current of 400 mA at an input
level of 5 V causes a 2 W dissipation in Q1, other input
conditions should be considered carefully in terms of potential
overheating of Q1. Of course, if higher powered devices are
used for Q1, this circuit can support outputs of tens of amperes
as well as the higher VOUT levels already noted.
The circuit shown can be used as either a standard low dropout
regulator, or it can be used with on/off control. By driving Pin 3
of U1 with the optional logic control signal, VC, the output is
switched between on and off. Note that when the output is off
in this circuit, it is still active (that is, not an open circuit). This
is because the off state simply reduces the voltage input to R1,
leaving the U1A/U1B amplifiers and Q1 still active.
When the on/off control is used, Resistor R10 should be used
with U1 to speed on/off switching and to allow the output of the
circuit to settle to a nominal zero voltage. Component D3 and
Component R11 also aid in speeding up the on/off transition by
providing a dynamic discharge path for C2. Off/on transition
time is less than 1 ms, while the on/off transition is longer, but
less than 10 ms.
3 V, 50 HZ/60 HZ ACTIVE NOTCH FILTER WITH
FALSE GROUND
To process signals in a single-supply system, it is often best to
use a false ground biasing scheme. A circuit that uses this approach
is shown in Figure 59. In this circuit, a false ground circuit
biases an active notch filter used to reject 50 Hz/60 Hz power
line interference in portable patient monitoring equipment.
Notch filters are commonly used to reject power line frequency
interference that often obscures low frequency physiological
signals, such as heart rates, blood pressure readings, EEGs, and
EKGs. This notch filter effectively squelches 60 Hz pickup at a
Filter Q of 0.75. Substituting 3.16 kΩ resistors for the 2.67 kΩ
resistor in the Twin-T section (R1 through R5) configures the
active filter to reject 50 Hz interference.

Obviously, it is desirable to keep this comparison voltage small
because it becomes a significant portion of the overall dropout
voltage. Here, the 20 mV reference is higher than the typical
offset of the OP284 but is still reasonably low as a percentage
of VOUT (<0.5%). In adapting the limiter for other ILIMIT levels,
Sense Resistor RS should be adjusted along with R7 to R8, to
maintain this threshold voltage between 20 mV and 50 mV.
Figure 59. A 3 V Single-Supply, 50Hz to 60 Hz Active Notch Filter
with False Ground
Amplifier A3 is the heart of the false ground bias circuit. It buffers
the voltage developed at R9 and R10 and is the reference for the
active notch filter. Because the OP484 exhibits a rail-to-rail input
common-mode range, R9 and R10 are chosen to split the 3 V
supply symmetrically. An in-the-loop compensation scheme is
used around the OP484 that allows the op amp to drive C6,
a 1 μF capacitor, without oscillation. C6 maintains a low
impedance ac ground over the operating frequency range of
the filter.
The filter section uses an OP484 in a Twin-T configuration
whose frequency selectivity is very sensitive to the relative
matching of the capacitors and resistors in the Twin-T section.
Mylar is the material of choice for the capacitors, and the
relative matching of the capacitors and resistors determines the
pass band symmetry of the filter. Using 1% resistors and 5%
capacitors produces satisfactory results.
