Typical Applications (continued)
9.2.1.1 Design Requirements
The design requirements are:
• Supply voltage: 5 V dc
• Input: 0 V to 2 V dc
• Output: 0 mA to 100 mA dc
9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The V-I transfer function of the circuit is based on the relationship between the input voltage, V_IN, and the three
current sensing resistors, R_S1, R_S2, and R_S3. The relationship between V_IN and R_S1 determines the current that
flows through the first stage of the design. The current gain from the first stage to the second stage is based on
the relationship between R_S2 and R_S3.
For a successful design, pay close attention to the dc characteristics of the operational amplifier chosen for the
application. To meet the performance goals, this application benefits from an operational amplifier with low offset
voltage, low temperature drift, and rail-to-rail output. The OPAx188-Q1 CMOS operational amplifier is a high-
precision, ultra-low offset, ultra-low drift amplifier, optimized for low-voltage, single-supply operation, with an
output swing to within 15 mV of the positive rail. The devices in the OPAx188-Q1 family use chopping techniques
to provide low initial offset voltage and near-zero drift over time and temperature. Low offset voltage and low drift
reduce the offset error in the system, making this device appropriate for precise dc control. The rail-to-rail output
stage of the OPAx188-Q1 makes sure that the output swing of the operational amplifier is able to fully control the
gate of the MOSFET devices within the supply rails.
