DESCRIPTION OPA251 Family optimized for ±15V supply. The OPA241 series and OPA251 series are specifically designed for battery powered, portable applications. In addition to very low power consumption (25µA), these amplifiers feature low offset voltage, rail-to-rail output swing, high common-mode rejection, and high open-loop gain. The OPA241 series is optimized for operation at low power supply voltage while the OPA251 series is optimized for high power supplies. Both can operate from either single (+2.7V to +36V) or dual supplies (±1.35V to ±18V). The input common-mode voltage range extends 200mV below the negative supply—ideal for single-supply applications. They are unity-gain stable and can drive large capacitive loads. Special design considerations assure that these products are easy to use. High performance is maintained as the amplifiers swing to their specified limits. Because the initial offset voltage (±250µV max) is so low, user adjustment is usually not required. However, external trim pins are provided for special applications (single versions only). The OPA241 and OPA251 (single versions) are available in standard 8-pin DIP and SO-8 surface-mount packages. The OPA2241 and OPA2251 (dual versions) come in 8-pin DIP and SO-8 surface-mount packages. The OPA4241 and OPA4251 (quad versions) are available in 14-pin DIP and SO-14 surface-mount packages. All are fully specified from –40°C to +85°C and operate from –55°C to +125°C.

As shown, the unity gain configuration with low supplies is the most susceptible to the effects of capacitive load. With VS = +5V, G = +1, and IOUT = 0, operation remains stable with load capacitance up to approximately 200pF. Increasing supply voltage, output current, and/or gain significantly improves capacitive load drive. For example, increasing the supplies to ±15V and gain to 10 allows approximately 2700pF to be driven. One method of improving capacitive load drive in the unity gain configuration is to insert a resistor inside the feedback loop as shown in Figure 4. This reduces ringing with large capacitive loads while maintaining dc accuracy. For example, with VS = ±1.35V and RS = 5kΩ, the OPA241 series and OPA251 series perform well with capacitive loads in excess of 1000pF. Without the series resistor, capacitive load drive is typically 200pF for these conditions. However, this method will result in a slight reduction of output voltage swing. The OPA241 and OPA251 series are unity-gain stable and suitable for a wide range of general purpose applications. Power supply pins should be bypassed with 0.01µF ceramic capacitors. OPERATING VOLTAGE The OPA241 series is laser-trimmed for low offset voltage and drift at low supply voltage (VS = +5V). The OPA251 series is trimmed for ±15V operation. Both products operate over the full voltage range (+2.7V to +36V or ±1.35V to ±18V) with some compromises in offset voltage and drift performance. However, all other parameters have similar performance. Key parameters are guaranteed over the specified temperature range, –40°C to +85°C. Most behavior remains unchanged throughout the full operating voltage range. Parameters which vary significantly with operating voltage or temperature are shown in typical performance curves. OFFSET VOLTAGE TRIM As mentioned previously, offset voltage of the OPA241 series is laser-trimmed at +5V. The OPA251 series is trimmed at ±15V. Because the initial offset is so low, user adjustment is usually not required. However, the OPA241 and OPA251 (single op amp versions) provide offset voltage trim connections on pins 1 and 5. Offset voltage can be adjusted by connecting a potentiometer as shown in Figure 1. This adjustment should be used only to null the offset of the op amp, not to adjust system offset or offset produced by the signal source. Nulling offset could degrade the offset drift behavior of the op amp. While it is not possible to predict the exact change in drift, the effect is usually small.
