Input Offset Voltage

The offset voltage changes depending upon which input

stage is active, and the maximum offset voltages are

trimmed to less than 525µV. To maintain the precision

characteristics of the amplifier, the change of VOS over the

entire input common mode range (CMRR) is guaranteed

to be less than 525µV on a single 5V supply.

Input Bias Current

The input bias current polarity depends on the input

common mode voltage. When the PNP differential pair is

active, the input bias currents flow out of the input pins.

They flow in the opposite direction when the NPN input

stage is active. The offset voltage error due to input bias

currents can be minimized by equalizing the noninverting

and inverting input source impedance.

Output

The outputs of the LT1630/LT1631 can deliver large load

currents;theshort-circuitcurrentlimitis70mA.Takecareto

diodes to each supply. If the output is forced beyond either

supply, unlimited current will flow through these diodes.

If the current is transient and limited to several hundred

mA, no damage to the part will occur.

Overdrive Protection

To prevent the output from reversing polarity when the

input voltage exceeds the power supplies, two pairs of

crossing diodes D1 to D4 are employed. When the input

voltage exceeds either power supply by approximately

700mV, D1/D2 or D3/D4 will turn on, forcing the output

to the proper polarity. For this phase reversal protection

to work properly, the input current must be limited to less

than 5mA. If the amplifier is to be severely overdriven,

an external resistor should be used to limit the overdrive

current.

The LT1630/LT1631’s input stages are protected against

large differential input voltages by a pair of back-to-back

diodes D5/D6. When a differential voltage of more than

0.7V is applied to the inputs, these diodes will turn on,

preventingtheemitter-basebreakdownoftheinputtransis-

tors. The current in D5/D6 should be limited to less than

10mA. Internal 225Ω resistors R6 and R7 will limit the

input current for differential input signals of 4.5V or less.

For larger input levels, a resistor in series with either or

bothinputsshouldbeusedtolimitthecurrent.Worst-case

differential input voltage usually occurs when the output is

shorted to ground. In addition, the amplifier is protected

against ESD strikes up to 3kV on all pins.

Capacitive Load

The LT1630/LT1631 are wideband amplifiers that can

drive capacitive loads up to 200pF on ±15V supplies in a

unity-gain configuration. On a 3V supply, the capacitive

load should be kept to less than 100pF. When there is a

need to drive larger capacitive loads, a resistor of 20Ω

to 50Ω should be connected between the output and the

capacitive load. The feedback should still be taken from

the output so that the resistor isolates the capacitive load

to ensure stability.

Feedback Components

The low input bias currents of the LT1630/LT1631 make it

possible to use the high value feedback resistors to set the

gain. However, care must be taken to ensure that the pole

formedbythefeedbackresistorsandthetotalcapacitanceat

the inverting input does not degrade stability. For instance,

the LT1630/LT1631 in a noninverting gain of 2, set with

two 20k resistors, will probably oscillate with 10pF total

input capacitance (5pF input capacitance and 5pF board

capacitance).Theamplifierhasa5MHzcrossingfrequency

and a 52° phase margin at 6dB of gain. The feedback

resistors and the total input capacitance form a pole at

1.6MHz that induces a phase shift of 72° at 5MHz! The

solution is simple: either lower the value of the resistors

or add a feedback capacitor of 10pF or more.
