APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

OPA705 series op amps can operate on 160

µA quiescent

current from a single (or split) supply in the range of 4V to

12V (

±2V to ±6V), making them highly versatile and easy

to use. The OPA705 is unity-gain stable and offers 1MHz

bandwidth and 0.6V/

µs slew rate.

Rail-to-rail input and output swing helps maintain dynamic

range, especially in low supply applications. Figure 1 shows

the input and output waveforms for the OPA705 in unity-

gain configuration. Operation is from a

±5V supply with a

100k

Ω load connected to V

sinusoid. Output voltage is approximately 10Vp-p.

Power-supply pins should be bypassed with 1000pF ceramic

capacitors in parallel with 1

µF tantalum capacitors.

OPERATING VOLTAGE

OPA705 series op amps are fully specified and guaranteed

from +4V to +12V over a temperature range of –40ºC to

+85ºC. Parameters that vary significantly with operating volt-

ages or temperature are shown in the Typical Characteristics.

RAIL-TO-RAIL INPUT

The input common-mode voltage range of the OPA705 series

extends 300mV beyond the supply rails at room temperature.

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+) – 2.0V to 300mV above the positive supply, while the P-

channel pair is on for inputs from 300mV below the negative

supply to approximately (V+) – 1.5V. There is a small

transition region, typically (V+) – 2.0V to (V+) – 1.5V, in

which both pairs are on. This 500mV transition region can

vary

±100mV with process variation. Thus, the transition

region (both stages on) can range from (V+) – 2.1V to (V+)

– 1.4V on the low end, up to (V+) – 1.9V to (V+) – 1.6V on

the high end. Within the 500mV transition region PSRR,

CMRR, offset voltage, and offset drift, and THD may vary

compared to operation outside this region.
