7.3.6 Common-Mode Voltage Range
The OPAx196 is a 36-V, true rail-to-rail input operational amplifier with an input common-mode range that
extends 100 mV beyond either supply rail. This wide range is achieved with paralleled complementary N-channel
and P-channel differential input pairs, as shown in Figure 43. The N-channel pair is active for input voltages
close to the positive rail, typically (V+) – 3 V to 100 mV above the positive supply. The P-channel pair is active
for inputs from 100 mV below the negative supply to approximately (V+) – 1.5 V. There is a small transition
region, typically (V+) –3 V to (V+) – 1.5 V in which both input pairs are active. This transition region varies
modestly with process variation. Within this region PSRR, CMRR, offset voltage, offset drift, noise, and THD
performance are degraded compared to operation outside this region.

To achieve the best performance for two-stage rail-to-rail input amplifiers, avoid the transition region when
possible. The OPAx196 uses a precision trim for both the N-channel and P-channel regions. This technique
enables significantly lower levels of offset than previous-generation devices, causing variance in the transition
region of the input stages to appear exaggerated relative to offset over the full common-mode range, as shown in
Figure 44.
