BATTERY-POWERED APPLICATIONS
The OP490 can be operated on a minimum supply voltage of
1.6 V or with dual supplies of ±0.8 V drawing only 60 μA of
supply current. In many battery-powered circuits, the OP490
can be continuously operated for hundreds of hours before
requiring battery replacement, thereby reducing equipment
downtime and operating costs.
High performance portable equipment and instruments
frequently use lithium cells because of their long shelf life, light
weight, and high energy density relative to older primary cells.
Most lithium cells have a nominal output voltage of 3 V and are
noted for a flat discharge characteristic. The low supply current
requirement of the OP490, combined with the flat discharge
characteristic of the lithium cell, indicates that the OP490 can
be operated over the entire useful life of the cell. Figure 21
shows the typical discharge characteristic of a 1 Ah lithium cell
powering an OP490 with each amplifier, in turn, driving full
output swing into a 100 kΩ load.

SINGLE-SUPPLY OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGE
In single-supply operation the input and output ranges of the
OP490 include ground. This allows true zero-in, zero-out
operation. The output stage provides an active pull-down to
around 0.8 V above ground. Below this level, a load resistance of up
to 1 MΩ to ground is required to pull the output down to zero.
In the region from ground to 0.8 V, the OP490 has voltage gain
equal to the data sheet specification. Output current source
capability is maintained over the entire voltage range including
ground.
