0.5MHz, Low Supply
Voltage, Low Input Current BiMOS Operational Amplifiers
The CA3420A and CA3420 are integrated circuit operational amplifiers that combine PMOS transistors and bipolar transistors on a single monolithic chip. The CA3420A and CA3420 BiMOS operational amplifiers feature gate protected PMOS transistors in the input circuit to provide very high input impedance, very low input currents (less than 1pA). The internal bootstrapping network features a unique guardbanding technique for reducing the doubling of leakage current for every 10oC increase in temperature. The CA3420 series operates at total supply
voltages from 2V to 20V either single or dual supply. These operational amplifiers are internally phase compensated to achieve stable operation in the unity gain follower configuration. Additionally, they have access terminals for a supplementary external capacitor if additional frequency roll-off is desired. Terminals are also provided for use in applications requiring input offset
voltage nulling. The use of PMOS in the input stage results in common mode input
voltage capability down to 0.45V below the negative supply terminal, an important attribute for single supply application. The output stage uses a feedback OTA type amplifier that can swing essentially from rail-to-rail. The output driving current of 1.5mA (Min) is provided by using nonlinear current mirrors.
