LM7321/LM7322 Rail-to-Rail Input/Output

±15V, High Output Current and Unlimited Capacitive Load

Operational Amplifier

General Description

The LM7321/LM7322 are rail-to-rail input and output ampli-

fiers with wide operating voltages and high output currents.

The LM7321/LM7322 are efficient, achieving 18 V/µs slew

rate and 20 MHz unity gain bandwidth while requiring only 1

mA of supply current per op amp. The LM7321/LM7322 per-

formance is fully specified for operation at 2.7V, ±5V and

±15V.

The LM7321/LM7322 are designed to drive unlimited capac-

itive loads without oscillations. All LM7321 and LM7322 parts

are tested at −40°C, 125°C, and 25°C, with modern automatic

test equipment. High performance from −40°C to 125°C, de-

tailed specifications, and extensive testing makes them suit-

able for industrial, automotive, and communications applica-

tions.

Greater than rail-to-rail input common mode voltage range

with 50 dB of common mode rejection across this wide voltage

range, allows both high side and low side sensing. Most de-

vice parameters are insensitive to power supply voltage, and

this makes the parts easier to use where supply voltage may

vary, such as automotive electrical systems and battery pow-

ered equipment. These amplifiers have true rail-to-rail output

and can supply a respectable amount of current (15 mA) with

minimal head- room from either rail (300 mV) at low distortion

(0.05% THD+Noise). There are several package options for

each part. Standard SOIC versions of both parts make up-

grading existing designs easy. LM7322 is offered in a space

saving 8-Pin MSOP package. The LM7321 is offered in small

SOT23-5 package, which makes it easy to place this part

close to sensors for better circuit performance.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Rating indicate conditions for which the device is

intended to be functional, but specific performance is not guaranteed. For guaranteed specifications and the test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.

Note 2: Human Body Model, applicable std. MIL-STD-883, Method 3015.7. Machine Model, applicable std. JESD22-A115-A (ESD MM std. of JEDEC)

Field-Induced Charge-Device Model, applicable std. JESD22-C101-C (ESD FICDM std. of JEDEC).

Note 3: Applies to both single-supply and split-supply operation. Continuous short circuit operation at elevated ambient temperature can result in exceeding the

maximum allowed junction temperature of 150°C. Short circuit test is a momentary test. Output short circuit duration is infinite for VS ≤ 6V at room temperature

and below. For VS > 6V, allowable short circuit duration is 1.5 ms.

Note 4: The maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(MAX), θJA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is

PD = (TJ(MAX)) - TA)/ θJA. All numbers apply for packages soldered directly onto a PC board.

Note 5: Electrical Table values apply only for factory testing conditions at the temperature indicated. Factory testing conditions result in very limited self-heating

of the device such that TJ = TA. No guarantee of parametric performance is indicated in the electrical tables under conditions of internal self-heating where TJ >

TA.

Note 6: Typical values represent the most likely parametric norm as determined at the time of characterization. Actual typical values may vary over time and will

also depend on the application and configuration. The typical values are not tested and are not guaranteed on shipped production material.

Note 7: All limits are guaranteed by testing or statistical analysis.

Note 8: Offset voltage temperature drift determined by dividing the change in VOS at temperature extremes into the total temperature change.

Note 9: Positive current corresponds to current flowing into the device.

Note 10: Slew rate is the slower of the rising and falling slew rates. Connected as a Voltage Follower.

Application Information

DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS

The LM7321/LM7322 are specifically designed to drive un-

limited capacitive loads without oscillations as shown in

Figure 1.

20205769

FIGURE 1. ±5% Settling Time vs. Capacitive Load

In addition, the output current handling capability of the device

allows for good slewing characteristics even with large ca-

pacitive loads as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3.

20205770

FIGURE 2. +SR vs. Capacitive Load

20205771

FIGURE 3. −SR vs. Capacitive Load

The combination of these features is ideal for applications

such as TFT flat panel buffers, A/D converter input amplifiers,

etc.

However, as in most op amps, addition of a series isolation

resistor between the op amp and the capacitive load improves

the settling and overshoot performance.

Output current drive is an important parameter when driving

capacitive loads. This parameter will determine how fast the

output voltage can change. Referring to the Slew Rate vs.

Capacitive Load Plots (typical performance characteristics

section), two distinct regions can be identified. Below about

10,000 pF, the output Slew Rate is solely determined by the

op amp’s compensation capacitor value and available current

into that capacitor. Beyond 10 nF, the Slew Rate is deter-

mined by the op amp’s available output current. Note that

because of the lower output sourcing current compared to the

sinking one, the Slew Rate limit under heavy capacitive load-

ing is determined by the positive transitions. An estimate of

positive and negative slew rates for loads larger than 100 nF

can be made by dividing the short circuit current value by the

capacitor.

For the LM7321/LM7322, the available output current in-

creases with the input overdrive. Referring to Figure 4 and

Figure 5, Output Short Circuit Current vs. Input Overdrive, it

can be seen that both sourcing and sinking short circuit cur-

rent increase as input overdrive increases. In a closed loop

amplifier configuration, during transient conditions while the

fed back output has not quite caught up with the input, there

will be an overdrive imposed on the input allowing more output

current than would normally be available under steady state

condition. Because of this feature, the op amp’s output stage

quiescent current can be kept to a minimum, thereby reducing

power consumption, while enabling the device to deliver large

output current when the need arises (such as during tran-

sients).

FIGURE 4. Output Short Circuit Sourcing Current vs.

Input Overdrive

20205773

FIGURE 5. Output Short Circuit Sinking Current vs. Input

Overdrive

Figure 6 shows the output voltage, output current, and the

resulting input overdrive with the device set for AV = +1 and

the input tied to a 1 VPP step function driving a 47 nF capacitor.

As can be seen, during the output transition, the input over-

drive reaches 1V peak and is more than enough to cause the

output current to increase to its maximum value (see Figure

4 and Figure 5 plots). Note that because of the larger output

sinking current compared to the sourcing one, the output neg-

ative transition is faster than the positive one.

20205774

FIGURE 6. Buffer Amplifier Scope Photo

ESTIMATING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE SWING

It is important to keep in mind that the steady state output

current will be less than the current available when there is

an input overdrive present. For steady state conditions, the

Output Voltage vs. Output Current plot (Typical Performance

Characteristics section) can be used to predict the output

swing. Figure 7 and Figure 8 show this performance along

with several load lines corresponding to loads tied between

the output and ground. In each cases, the intersection of the

device plot at the appropriate temperature with the load line

would be the typical output swing possible for that load. For

example, a 1 kΩ load can accommodate an output swing to

within 250 mV of V− and to 330 mV of V+ (VS = ±15V) corre-

SETTLING TIME WITH LARGE CAPACITIVE LOADS

Figure 9 below, shows a typical application where the

LM7321/LM7322 is used as a buffer amplifier for the VCOM

signal employed in a TFT LCD flat panel:

20205758

FIGURE 9. VCOM Driver Application Schematic

Figure 10 shows the time domain response of the amplifier

when used as a VCOM buffer/driver with VREF at ground. In this

application, the op amp loop will try and maintain its output

voltage based on the voltage on its non-inverting input

(VREF) despite the current injected into the TFT simulated

load. As long as this load current is within the range tolerable

by the LM7321/LM7322 (45 mA sourcing and 65 mA sinking

for ±5V supplies), the output will settle to its final value within

less than 2 μs.

OUTPUT SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT AND DISSIPATION

ISSUES

The LM7321/LM7322 output stage is designed for maximum

output current capability. Even though momentary output

shorts to ground and either supply can be tolerated at all op-

erating voltages, longer lasting short conditions can cause the

junction temperature to rise beyond the absolute maximum

rating of the device, especially at higher supply voltage con-

ditions. Below supply voltage of 6V, the output short circuit

condition can be tolerated indefinitely.

With the op amp tied to a load, the device power dissipation

consists of the quiescent power due to the supply current flow

into the device, in addition to power dissipation due to the load

current. The load portion of the power itself could include an

average value (due to a DC load current) and an AC compo-

nent. DC load current would flow if there is an output voltage

offset, or the output AC average current is non-zero, or if the

op amp operates in a single supply application where the out-

put is maintained somewhere in the range of linear operation.

Therefore:

PTOTAL = PQ + PDC + PAC

PQ = IS · VSOp Amp Quiescent Power

Dissipation

PDC = IO · (Vr - Vo) DC Load Power

PAC = See Table 1 below AC Load Power

where:

IS: Supply Current

VS: Total Supply Voltage (V+ − V−)

VO: Average Output Voltage

Vr: V+ for sourcing and V− for sinking current

LM7321/LM7322

Table 1 below shows the maximum AC component of the load

power dissipated by the op amp for standard Sinusoidal, Tri-

angular, and Square Waveforms:

TABLE 1. Normalized AC Power Dissipated in the Output

Stage for Standard Waveforms

PAC (W.Ω/V2)

Sinusoidal Triangular Square

50.7 x 10−3 46.9 x 10−3 62.5 x 10−3

The table entries are normalized to VS2/RL. To figure out the

AC load current component of power dissipation, simply mul-

tiply the table entry corresponding to the output waveform by

the factor VS2/RL. For example, with ±12V supplies, a 600Ω

load, and triangular waveform power dissipation in the output

stage is calculated as:

PAC = (46.9 x 10−3) · [242/600] = 45.0 mW

The maximum power dissipation allowed at a certain temper-

ature is a function of maximum die junction temperature (TJ

(MAX)) allowed, ambient temperature TA, and package thermal

resistance from junction to ambient, θJA.

For the LM7321/LM7322, the maximum junction temperature

allowed is 150°C at which no power dissipation is allowed.

The power capability at 25°C is given by the following calcu-

lations:

For MSOP package:

For SOIC package:

Similarly, the power capability at 125°C is given by:

For MSOP package:

For SOIC package:

Figure 11 shows the power capability vs. temperature for

MSOP and SOIC packages. The area under the maximum

thermal capability line is the operating area for the device.

When the device works in the operating area where PTOTAL is

less than PD(MAX), the device junction temperature will remain

below 150°C. If the intersection of ambient temperature and

package power is above the maximum thermal capability line,

the junction temperature will exceed 150°C and this should

be strictly prohibited.

FIGURE 11. Power Capability vs. Temperature

When high power is required and ambient temperature can't

be reduced, providing air flow is an effective approach to re-

duce thermal resistance therefore to improve power capabil-

ity.

Other Application Hints

The use of supply decoupling is mandatory in most applica-

tions. As with most relatively high speed/high output current

Op Amps, best results are achieved when each supply line is

decoupled with two capacitors; a small value ceramic capac-

itor (∼0.01 μF) placed very close to the supply lead in addition

to a large value Tantalum or Aluminum (> 4.7 μF). The large

capacitor can be shared by more than one device if neces-

sary. The small ceramic capacitor maintains low supply

impedance at high frequencies while the large capacitor will

act as the charge "bucket" for fast load current spikes at the

op amp output. The combination of these capacitors will pro-

vide supply decoupling and will help keep the op amp oscil-

lation free under any load.
