4.2

Rail-to-Rail Output

The output voltage range of the MCP6031/2/3/4 op

amps is VSS + 10 mV (minimum) and VDD – 10 mV

(maximum) when RL =50kΩ is connected to VDD/2

and VDD = 5.5V. Refer to Figures 2-25 and 2-26 for

more information.

4.3

Output Loads and Battery Life

The MCP6031/2/3/4 op amp family has outstanding

quiescent current, which supports battery-powered

applications. There is minimal quiescent current glitch-

ing when Chip Select (CS) is raised or lowered. This

prevents excessive current draw, and reduced battery

life, when the part is turned off or on.

Heavy resistive loads at the output can cause exces-

sive battery drain. Driving a DC voltage of 2.5V across

a 100 k

Ω load resistor will cause the supply current to

increase by 25 µA, depleting the battery 28 times as

fast as IQ (0.9 µA, typical) alone.

High frequency signals (fast edge rate) across capaci-

tive loads will also significantly increase supply current.

For instance, a 0.1 µF capacitor at the output presents

an AC impedance of 15.9 k

Ω (1/2πfC) to a 100 Hz

sinewave. It can be shown that the average power

drawn from the battery by a 5.0 Vp-p sinewave

(1.77 Vrms), under these conditions, is

EQUATION 4-1:

This will drain the battery about 12 times as fast as IQ

alone.

4.4

Capacitive Loads

Driving large capacitive loads can cause stability

problems for voltage feedback op amps. As the load

capacitance increases, the feedback loop’s phase

margin decreases and the closed-loop bandwidth is

reduced. This produces gain peaking in the frequency

response, with overshoot and ringing in the step

response. While a unity-gain buffer (G = +1) is the most

sensitive to capacitive loads, all gains show the same

general behavior.

When driving large capacitive loads with these op

amps (e.g., > 100 pF when G = +1), a small series

resistor at the output (RISO in Figure 4-3) improves the

feedback loop’s phase margin (stability) by making the

output load resistive at higher frequencies. The

bandwidth will be generally lower than the bandwidth

with no capacitance load.

stabilizes large capacitive loads.

Figure 4-4 gives recommended RISO values for

different capacitive loads and gains. The x-axis is the

normalized load capacitance (CL/GN), where GN is the

circuit's noise gain. For non-inverting gains, GN and the

Signal Gain are equal. For inverting gains, GN is

1+|Signal Gain| (e.g., -1 V/V gives GN = +2 V/V).

for Capacitive Loads.

After selecting RISO for your circuit, double-check the

resulting frequency response peaking and step

response overshoot. Modify RISO’s value until the

response is reasonable. Bench evaluation and simula-

tions with the MCP6031/2/3/4 SPICE macro model are

very helpful.

4.5

MCP6033 CHIP SELECT (CS)

The MCP6033 is a single op amp with Chip Select

(CS). When CS is pulled high, the supply current drops

to 0.4 nA (typical) and flows through the CS pin to VSS.

When this happens, the amplifier output is put into a

high impedance state. By pulling CS low, the amplifier

is enabled. If the CS pin is left floating, the amplifier will

not operate properly. Figure 1-1 shows the output

voltage and supply current response to a CS pulse.

PSupply = (VDD - VSS) (IQ + VL(p-p) f CL )

= (5V)(0.9 µA + 5.0Vp-p · 100Hz · 0.1µF)

= 4.5 µW + 50 µW
