Power supply control GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Rail-to-rail output swing combined with dc accuracy are the
key features of the OP495 quad and OP295 dual CBCMOS
operational amplifiers. By using a bipolar front end, lower noise
and higher accuracy than those of CMOS designs have been
achieved. Both input and output ranges include the negative
supply, providing the user with zero-in/zero-out capability. For
users of 3.3 V systems such as lithium batteries, the OP295/OP495
are specified for 3 V operation.
Maximum offset voltage is specified at 300 μV for 5 V operation,
and the open-loop gain is a minimum of 1000 V/mV. This yields
performance that can be used to implement high accuracy systems,
even in single-supply designs.
The ability to swing rail-to-rail and supply 15 mA to the load
makes the OP295/OP495 ideal drivers for power transistors and
H bridges. This allows designs to achieve higher efficiencies and
to transfer more power to the load than previously possible …
