For a unity gain buffer, VIN must be maintained below

VDD – 2.3V for correct operation.

Rail-to-Rail Output

The output voltage range of the MCP6H01/2/4 op amps

is 0.020V (typical) and 14.980V (typical) when

RL =10kΩ is connected to VDD/2 and VDD =15V.

4.3

Capacitive Loads

Driving large capacitive loads can cause stability

problems for voltage feedback op amps. As the load

capacitance increases, the feedback loop’s phase

margin decreases and the closed-loop bandwidth is

reduced. This produces gain peaking in the frequency

response, with overshoot and ringing in the step

response. While a unity-gain buffer (G = +1V/V) is the

most sensitive to capacitive loads, all gains show the

same general behavior.

When driving large capacitive loads with these op

amps (e.g., > 100 pF when G = + 1V/V), a small series

resistor at the output (RISO in Figure 4-4) improves the

feedback loop’s phase margin (stability) by making the

output load resistive at higher frequencies. The

bandwidth will generally be lower than the bandwidth

with no capacitance load.

Stabilizes Large Capacitive Loads.

Figure 4-5 gives the recommended RISO values for

different capacitive loads and gains. The x-axis is the

normalized load capacitance (CL/GN), where GN is the

circuit’s noise gain. For non-inverting gains, GN and the

Signal Gain are equal. For inverting gains, GN is

1 + |Signal Gain| (e.g., -1V/V gives GN = +2V/V).

After selecting RISO for your circuit, double check the

resulting

peaking

and

step

response overshoot. Modify RISO’s value until the

response

reasonable.

Bench

evaluation

and

simulations with the MCP6H01/2/4 SPICE macro

model are very helpful.

Supply Bypass

With this family of operational amplifiers, the power

supply pin (VDD for single supply) should have a local

bypass capacitor (i.e., 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF) within 2 mm

for good high-frequency performance. It can use a bulk

capacitor (i.e., 1 µF or larger) within 100 mm to provide

large, slow currents. This bulk capacitor can be shared

with other analog parts.

4.5

Unused Op Amps

An unused op amp in a quad package (MCP6H04)

should be configured as shown in Figure 4-6. These

circuits prevent the output from toggling and causing

crosstalk. Circuit A sets the op amp at its minimum

noise gain. The resistor divider produces any desired

reference voltage within the output voltage range of the

op amp; the op amp buffers that reference voltage.

Circuit B uses the minimum number of components

and operates as a comparator, but it may draw more

current.
