Output voltage swings to within 1mV of the supply rails with a 100kΩ load. They offer excellent dynamic response (BW = 5.5MHz, SR = 6V/µs), yet quiescent current is only 850µA. Dual and quad designs feature completely independent circuitry for lowest crosstalk and freedom from interaction. The single (OPA343) packages are the tiny SOT-23-5 surface mount and SO-8 surface mount. The dual (OPA2343) comes in the miniature MSOP-8 surface mount and SO-8 surface mount. The quad (OPA4343) packages are the space-saving SSOP-16 surface mount, SO-14 surface mount, and TSSOP-14 surface mount. All are specified from –40°C to +85°C and operate from –55°C to +125°C. A SPICE macromodel is available for design analysis. DESCRIPTION OPA343 series rail-to-rail CMOS operational amplifiers are designed for low-cost, miniature applications. They are optimized for low-voltage, single-supply operation. Rail-to-rail input/output and high-speed operation make them ideal for driving sampling Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converters. They are also well suited for general-purpose and audio applications as well as providing I/V conversion at the output of Digital-to-Analog (D/A) converters. Single, dual, and quad versions have identical specifications for design flexibility.

NOTES: (1) Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage. Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods may degrade device reliability. (2) Input terminals are diode-clamped to the power supply rails. Input signals that can swing more than 0.5V beyond the supply rails should be current-limited to 10mA or less. (3) Short-circuit to ground, one amplifier per package. ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure.

They are unity-gain stable and suitable for a wide range of general-purpose applications. Rail-to-rail input/output make them ideal for driving sampling A/D converters. In addition, excellent ac performance makes them well-suited for audio applications. The class AB output stage is capable of driving 600Ω loads connected to any point between V+ and ground. OPA343 series op amps are fully specified from +2.7V to +5V. However, supply voltage may range from +2.5V to +5.5V. Parameters are guaranteed over the specified supply range—a unique feature of the OPA343 series. In addition, many specifications apply from –40°C to +85°C. Most behavior remains virtually unchanged throughout the full operating voltage range. Parameters which vary significantly with operating voltages or temperature are shown in the Typical Performance Curves. Rail-to-rail input and output swing significantly increases dynamic range, especially in low-supply applications. Figure 1 shows the input and output waveforms for the OPA343 in unity-gain configuration. Operation is from a single +5V supply with a 10kΩ load connected to VS /2. The input is a 5Vp-p sinusoid. Output voltage is approximately 4.98Vp-p. Power-supply pins should be bypassed with 0.01µF ceramic capacitors. VS = +5, G = +1, RL = 10kΩ 5 2V/div VIN 5 VOUT RAIL-TO-RAIL INPUT The input common-mode voltage range of the OPA343 series extends 500mV beyond the supply rails. This is achieved with a complementary input stage—an N-channel input differential pair in parallel with a P-channel differential pair, as shown in Figure 2. The N-channel pair is active for input voltages close to the positive rail, typically (V+) – 1.3V to 500mV above the positive supply. The P-channel pair is on for inputs from 500mV below the negative supply to approximately (V+) – 1.3V. There is a small transition region, typically (V+) – 1.5V to (V+) – 1.1V, in which both input pairs are on. This 400mV transition region can vary ±300mV with process variation. Thus, the transition region (both stages on) can range from (V+) – 1.8V to (V+) – 1.4V on the low end, up to (V+) – 1.2V to (V+) – 0.8V on the high end. Within the 400mV transition region PSRR, CMRR, offset voltage, offset drift, and THD may be degraded compared to operation outside this region. A double-folded cascode adds the signal from the two input pairs and presents a differential signal to the class AB output stage. Normally, input bias current is approximately 200fA, however, input voltages exceeding the power supplies by 0 FIGURE 1. Rail-to-Rail Input and Output.

Simplified Schematic. 8 OPA343, 2343, 4343 SBOS090A more than 500mV can cause excessive current to flow in or out of the input pins. Momentary voltages greater than 500mV beyond the power supply can be tolerated if the current on the input pins is limited to 10mA. This is easily accomplished with an input resistor, as shown in Figure 3. Many input signals are inherently current-limited to less than 10mA, therefore, a limiting resistor is not required. V+ IOVERLOAD 10mA max VOUT OPAx343 VIN 5kΩ FIGURE 3. Input Current Protection for Voltages Exceeding the Supply Voltage. RAIL-TO-RAIL OUTPUT A class AB output stage with common-source transistors is used to achieve rail-to-rail output. For light resistive loads (>50kΩ), the output voltage is typically a few millivolts from the supply rails. With moderate resistive loads (2kΩ to 50kΩ), the output can swing to within a few tens of millivolts from the supply rails and maintain high open-loop gain. See the typical performanc curve “Output Voltage Swing vs Output Current.” CAPACITIVE LOAD AND STABILITY OPA343 series op amps can drive a wide range of capacitive loads. However, all op amps under certain conditions may become unstable. Op amp configuration, gain, and load value are just a few of the factors to consider when determining stability. An op amp in unity gain configuration is the most susceptible to the effects of capacitive load. The capacitive load reacts with the op amp’s output resistance, along with any additional load resistance, to create a pole in the small-signal response which degrades the phase margin. In unity gain, OPA343 series op amps perform well, with a pure capacitive load up to approximately 1000pF. Increasing gain enhances the amplifier’s ability to drive more capacitance. See the typical performance curve “Small-Signal Overshoot vs Capacitive Load.” One method of improving capacitive load drive in the unity gain configuration is to insert a 10Ω to 20Ω resistor in series with the output, as shown in Figure 4. This significantly reduces ringing with large capacitive loads. However, if there is a resistive load in parallel with the capacitive load, RS creates a voltage divider. This introduces a dc error at the output and slightly reduces output swing. This error may be insignificant. For instance, with RL = 10kΩ and RS = 20Ω, there is only about a 0.2% error at the output. DRIVING A/D CONVERTERS OPA343 series op amps are optimized for driving medium speed (up to 100kHz) sampling A/D converters. However, they also offer excellent performance for higher-speed converters. The OPA343 series provides an effective means of buffering the A/D’s input capacitance and resulting charge injection while providing signal gain. For applications requiring high accuracy, the OPA340 series is recommended. Figures 5 and 6 show the OPA343 driving an ADS7816. The ADS7816 is a 12-bit, micro-power sampling converter in the tiny MSOP-8 package. When used with the miniature package options of the OPA343 series, the combination is ideal for space-limited and low-power applications. For further information consult the ADS7816 data sheet. With the OPA343 in a noninverting configuration, an RC network at the amplifier’s output can be used to filter high frequency noise in the signal (see Figure 5). In the inverting configuration, filtering may be accomplished with a capacitor across the feedback resistor (see Figure 6). V+ RS VOUT OPAx343 VIN 10Ω to 20Ω RL CL FIGURE 4.
