APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OPA340 series op amps are fabricated on a state-of-the-art
0.6 micron CMOS process. They are unity-gain stable and
suitable for a wide range of general purpose applications.
Rail-to-rail input/output make them ideal for driving sam-
pling A/D converters. In addition, excellent ac performance
makes them well-suited for audio applications. The class AB
output stage is capable of driving 600Ω loads connected to
any point between V+ and ground.
Rail-to-rail input and output swing significantly increases
dynamic range, especially in low supply applications.
Figure 1 shows the input and output waveforms for the
OPA340 in unity-gain configuration. Operation is from a
single +5V supply with a 10kΩ load connected to V_S /2.
The input is a 5Vp-p sinusoid. Output voltage is approxi-
mately 4.98Vp-p.

OPERATING VOLTAGE
OPA340 series op amps are fully specified from +2.7V to
+5V. However, supply voltage may range from +2.5V to
+5.5V. Parameters are guaranteed over the specified supply
range—a unique feature of the OPA340 series. In addition,
many specifications apply from –40°C to +85°C. Most
behavior remains virtually unchanged throughout the full
operating voltage range. Parameters which vary signifi-
cantly with operating voltages or temperature are shown in
the typical performance curves.
RAIL-TO-RAIL INPUT
The input common-mode voltage range of the OPA340
series extends 500mV beyond the supply rails. This is
achieved with a complementary input stage—an N-channel
input differential pair in parallel with a P-channel differen-
tial pair (see Figure 2). The N-channel pair is active for input
voltages close to the positive rail, typically
(V+) –1.3V to 500mV above the positive supply, while the
P-channel pair is on for inputs from 500mV below the
negative supply to approximately (V+) –1.3V. There is a
small transition region, typically (V+) –1.5V to (V+) –1.1V,
in which both pairs are on. This 400mV transition region
can vary ±300mV with process variation. Thus, the transi-
tion region (both stages on) can range from (V+) –1.8V to
(V+) –1.4V on the low end, up to (V+) –1.2V to (V+) –0.8V
on the high end.
