Application Information
LMP7715/LMP7716/LMP7716Q
The LMP7715/LMP7716/LMP7716Q are single and dual, low
noise, low offset, rail-to-rail output precision amplifiers with a
wide gain bandwidth product of 17 MHz and low supply cur-
rent. The wide bandwidth makes the LMP7715/LMP7716/
LMP7716Q ideal choices for wide-band amplification in
portable applications.
The LMP7715/LMP7716/LMP7716Q are superior for sensor
applications. The very low input referred voltage noise of only
5.8 nV/ at 1 kHz and very low input referred current noise
of only 10 fA/ mean more signal fidelity and higher signal-
to-noise ratio.
The LMP7715/LMP7716/LMP7716Q have a supply voltage
range of 1.8V to 5.5V over a wide temperature range of 0°C
to 125°C. This is optimal for low voltage commercial applica-
tions. For applications where the ambient temperature might
be less than 0°C, the LMP7715/LMP7716/LMP7716Q are ful-
ly operational at supply voltages of 2.0V to 5.5V over the
temperature range of −40°C to 125°C.
The outputs of the LMP7715/LMP7716/LMP7716Q swing
within 25 mV of either rail providing maximum dynamic range
in applications requiring low supply voltage. The input com-
mon mode range of the LMP7715/LMP7716/LMP7716Q ex-
tends to 300 mV below ground. This feature enables users to
utilize this device in single supply applications.
The use of a very innovative feedback topology has enhanced
the current drive capability of the LMP7715/LMP7716/LM-
P7716Q, resulting in sourcing currents of as much as 47 mA
with a supply voltage of only 1.8V.
The LMP7715 is offered in the space saving SOT-23 package
and the LMP7716/LMP7716Q is offered in an 8-pin MSOP.
These small packages are ideal solutions for applications re-
quiring minimum PC board footprint.
CAPACITIVE LOAD
The unity gain follower is the most sensitive configuration to
capacitive loading. The combination of a capacitive load
placed directly on the output of an amplifier along with the
output impedance of the amplifier creates a phase lag which
in turn reduces the phase margin of the amplifier. If phase
margin is significantly reduced, the response will be either
underdamped or the amplifier will oscillate.
The LMP7715/LMP7716/LMP7716Q can directly drive ca-
pacitive loads of up to 120 pF without oscillating. To drive
heavier capacitive loads, an isolation resistor, RISO as shown
in Figure 1, should be used. This resistor and CL form a pole
and hence delay the phase lag or increase the phase margin
of the overall system. The larger the value of RISO, the more
stable the output voltage will be. However, larger values of
RISO result in reduced output swing and reduced output cur-
rent drive.
20183661
FIGURE 1. Isolating Capacitive Load
INPUT CAPACITANCE
CMOS input stages inherently have low input bias current and
higher input referred voltage noise. The LMP7715/LMP7716/
LMP7716Q enhance this performance by having the low input
bias current of only 50 fA, as well as, a very low input referred
voltage noise of 5.8 nV/ . In order to achieve this a larger
input stage has been used. This larger input stage increases
the input capacitance of the LMP7715/LMP7716/LMP7716Q.
Figure 2 shows typical input common mode capacitance of
the LMP7715/LMP7716/LMP7716Q.
20183675
FIGURE 2. Input Common Mode Capacitance
This input capacitance will interact with other impedances,
such as gain and feedback resistors which are seen on the
inputs of the amplifier, to form a pole. This pole will have little
or no effect on the output of the amplifier at low frequencies
and under DC conditions, but will play a bigger role as the
frequency increases. At higher frequencies, the presence of
this pole will decrease phase margin and also cause gain
peaking. In order to compensate for the input capacitance,
care must be taken in choosing feedback resistors. In addition
to being selective in picking values for the feedback resistor,
a capacitor can be added to the feedback path to increase
stability.
The DC gain of the circuit shown in Figure 3 is simply −R2/
R1.
20183664
FIGURE 3. Compensating for Input Capacitance
www.national.com 14
LMP7715/LMP7716/LMP7716Q
For the time being, ignore CF. The AC gain of the circuit in
Figure 3 can be calculated as follows:
(1)
This equation is rearranged to find the location of the two
poles:
(2)
As shown in Equation 2, as the values of R1 and R2 are in-
creased, the magnitude of the poles are reduced, which in
turn decreases the bandwidth of the amplifier. Figure 4 shows
the frequency response with different value resistors for R1
and R2. Whenever possible, it is best to chose smaller feed-
back resistors.
20183659
FIGURE 4. Closed Loop Frequency Response
As mentioned before, adding a capacitor to the feedback path
will decrease the peaking. This is because CF will form yet
another pole in the system and will prevent pairs of poles, or
complex conjugates from forming. It is the presence of pairs
of poles that cause the peaking of gain. Figure 5 shows the
frequency response of the schematic presented in Figure 3
with different values of CF. As can be seen, using a small val-
ue capacitor significantly reduces or eliminates the peaking.
20183660
FIGURE 5. Closed Loop Frequency Response
TRANSIMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER
In many applications the signal of interest is a very small
amount of current that needs to be detected. Current that is
transmitted through a photodiode is a good example. Barcode
scanners, light meters, fiber optic receivers, and industrial
sensors are some typical applications utilizing photodiodes
for current detection. This current needs to be amplified be-
fore it can be further processed. This amplification is per-
formed using a current-to-voltage converter configuration or
transimpedance amplifier. The signal of interest is fed to the
inverting input of an op amp with a feedback resistor in the
current path. The voltage at the output of this amplifier will be
equal to the negative of the input current times the value of
the feedback resistor. Figure 6 shows a transimpedance am-
plifier configuration. CD represents the photodiode parasitic
capacitance and CCM denotes the common-mode capaci-
tance of the amplifier. The presence of all of these capaci-
tances at higher frequencies might lead to less stable
topologies at higher frequencies. Care must be taken when
designing a transimpedance amplifier to prevent the circuit
from oscillating.
With a wide gain bandwidth product, low input bias current
and low input voltage and current noise, the LMP7715/
LMP7716/LMP7716Q are ideal for wideband transimpedance
applications.
20183669
FIGURE 6. Transimpedance Amplifier

LMP7715/LMP7716/LMP7716Q
A feedback capacitance CF is usually added in parallel with
RF to maintain circuit stability and to control the frequency re-
sponse. To achieve a maximally flat, 2nd order response, RF
and CF should be chosen by using Equation 3
(3)
Calculating CF from Equation 3 can sometimes result in ca-
pacitor values which are less than 2 pF. This is especially the
case for high speed applications. In these instances, it is often
more practical to use the circuit shown in Figure 7 in order to
allow more sensible choices for CF. The new feedback ca-
pacitor, CF, is (1+ RB/RA) CF. This relationship holds as long
as RA << RF.

FIGURE 7. Modified Transimpedance Amplifier
SENSOR INTERFACE
The LMP7715/LMP7716/LMP7716Q have low input bias cur-
rent and low input referred noise, which make them ideal
choices for sensor interfaces such as thermopiles, Infra Red
(IR) thermometry, thermocouple amplifiers, and pH electrode
buffers.
Thermopiles generate voltage in response to receiving radi-
ation. These voltages are often only a few microvolts. As a
result, the operational amplifier used for this application
needs to have low offset voltage, low input voltage noise, and
low input bias current. Figure 8 shows a thermopile applica-
tion where the sensor detects radiation from a distance and
generates a voltage that is proportional to the intensity of the
radiation. The two resistors, RA and RB, are selected to pro-
vide high gain to amplify this signal, while CF removes the high
frequency noise.

PRECISION RECTIFIER
Rectifiers are electrical circuits used for converting AC signals
to DC signals. Figure 9 shows a full-wave precision rectifier.
Each operational amplifier used in this circuit has a diode on
its output. This means for the diodes to conduct, the output of
the amplifier needs to be positive with respect to ground. If
VIN is in its positive half cycle then only the output of the bot-
tom amplifier will be positive. As a result, the diode on the
output of the bottom amplifier will conduct and the signal will
show at the output of the circuit. If VIN is in its negative half
cycle then the output of the top amplifier will be positive, re-
sulting in the diode on the output of the top amplifier conduct-
ing and delivering the signal from the amplifier's output to the
circuit's output.
For R2/ R1 2, the resistor values can be found by using the
equation shown in Figure 9. If R2/ R1 = 1, then R3 should be
left open, no resistor needed, and R4 should simply be short-
ed.
