CA3130, CA3130A
15MHz, BiMOS Operational Amplifier with
MOSFET Input/CMOS Output
CA3130A and CA3130 are op amps that combine the
advantage of both CMOS and bipolar transistors.
Gate-protected P-Channel MOSFET (PMOS) transistors are
used in the input circuit to provide very-high-input
impedance, very-low-input current, and exceptional speed
performance. The use of PMOS transistors in the input stage
results in common-mode input-voltage capability down to
0.5V below the negative-supply terminal, an important
attribute in single-supply applications.
A CMOS transistor-pair, capable of swinging the output
voltage to within 10mV of either supply-voltage terminal (at
very high values of load impedance), is employed as the
output circuit.
The CA3130 Series circuits operate at supply voltages
ranging from 5V to 16V, (
2.5V to
8V). They can be phase
compensated with a single external capacitor, and have
terminals for adjustment of offset voltage for applications
requiring offset-null capability. Terminal provisions are also
made to permit strobing of the output stage.
The CA3130A offers superior input characteristics over
those of the CA3130.

Schematic Diagram
Application Information
Circuit Description
Figure 1 is a block diagram of the CA3130 Series CMOS
Operational Amplifiers. The input terminals may be operated
down to 0.5V below the negative supply rail, and the output
can be swung very close to either supply rail in many
applications. Consequently, the CA3130 Series circuits are
ideal for single-supply operation. Three Class A amplifier
stages, having the individual gain capability and current
consumption shown in Figure 1, provide the total gain of the
CA3130. A biasing circuit provides two potentials for
common use in the first and second stages. Terminal 8 can
be used both for phase compensation and to strobe the
output stage into quiescence. When Terminal 8 is tied to the
negative supply rail (Terminal 4) by mechanical or electrical
means, the output potential at Terminal 6 essentially rises to
the positive supply-rail potential at Terminal 7. This condition
of essentially zero current drain in the output stage under the
strobed "OFF" condition can only be achieved when the
ohmic load resistance presented to the amplifier is very high
(e.g.,when the amplifier output is used to drive CMOS digital
circuits in Comparator applications).
Input Stage
The circuit of the CA3130 is shown in the schematic diagram.
It consists of a differential-input stage using PMOS field-effect
transistors (Q
6
, Q
7
) working into a mirror-pair of bipolar
transistors (Q
9
, Q
10
) functioning as load resistors together
with resistors R
3
through R
6
. The mirror-pair transistors also
function as a differential-to-single-ended converter to provide
base drive to the second-stage bipolar transistor (Q
11
). Offset
nulling, when desired, can be effected by connecting a
100,000
potentiometer across Terminals 1 and 5 and the
potentiometer slider arm to Terminal 4. Cascade-connected
PMOS transistors Q
2
, Q
4
are the constant-current source for
the input stage. The biasing circuit for the constant-current
source is subsequently described. The small diodes D

5

8
provide gate-oxide protection against high-voltage
transients, including static electricity during handling for Q
6
and Q
7
.
Second-Stage
Most of the voltage gain in the CA3130 is provided by the
second amplifier stage, consisting of bipolar transistor Q
11
and its cascade-connected load resistance provided by
PMOS transistors Q
3
and Q
5
. The source of bias potentials
for these PMOS transistors is subsequently described. Miller
Effect compensation (roll-off) is accomplished by simply
connecting a small capacitor between Terminals 1 and 8. A
47pF capacitor provides sufficient compensation for stable
unity-gain operation in most applications.
Bias-Source Circuit
At total supply voltages, somewhat above 8.3V, resistor R
2
and zener diode Z
1
serve to establish a voltage of 8.3V across
the series-connected circuit, consisting of resistor R
1
, diodes
D
1
through D
4
, and PMOS transistor Q
1
. A tap at the junction
of resistor R
1
and diode D
4
provides a gate-bias potential of
about 4.5V for PMOS transistors Q
4
and Q
5
with respect to
Terminal 7. A potential of about 2.2V is developed across
diode-connected PMOS transistor Q
1
with respect to Terminal
7 to provide gate bias for PMOS transistors Q
2
and Q
3
. It
should be noted that Q
1
is "mirror-connected (see Note 8)" to
both Q
2
and Q
3
. Since transistors Q
1
, Q
2
, Q
3
are designed to
be identical, the approximately 200
A current in Q
1
establishes a similar current in Q
2
and Q
3
as constant current
sources for both the first and second amplifier stages,
respectively.
At total supply voltages somewhat less than 8.3V, zener
diode Z
1
becomes nonconductive and the potential,
developed across series-connected R
1
, D
1
-D
4
, and Q
1
,
varies directly with variations in supply voltage.
Consequently, the gate bias for Q
4
, Q
5
and Q
2
, Q
3
varies in
accordance with supply-voltage variations. This variation
results in deterioration of the power-supply-rejection ratio
(PSRR) at total supply voltages below 8.3V. Operation at
total supply voltages below about 4.5V results in seriously
degraded performance.
Output Stage
The output stage consists of a drain-loaded inverting
amplifier using CMOS transistors operating in the Class A
mode. When operating into very high resistance loads, the
output can be swung within millivolts of either supply rail.
Because the output stage is a drain-loaded amplifier, its gain
is dependent upon the load impedance. The transfer
characteristics of the output stage for a load returned to the
negative supply rail are shown in Figure 2. Typical op amp
loads are readily driven by the output stage. Because large-
signal excursions are non-linear, requiring feedback for good
waveform reproduction, transient delays may be
encountered. As a voltage follower, the amplifier can achieve
0.01% accuracy levels, including the negative supply rail.
NOTE:
8. For general information on the characteristics of CMOS transis-
tor-pairs in linear-circuit applications, see File Number 619, data
sheet on CA3600E "CMOS Transistor Array".
