The accuracy of the current copy is reduced with small output
currents. An internal circuit monitors the direction of the
output current and enables the positive or the negative
current monitoring circuitry accordingly. There is an approxi-
mate 20
μ
s delay in the change of current direction. The
switching point is near quiescent conditions and may cause
current monitor inaccuracy with small output currents.
ENABLE PIN
—
OUTPUT DISABLE
The Enable pin can disable the OPA569 within microsec-
onds. When disabled, the amplifier draws less than 10
μ
A and
its output enters a high-impedance state that allows multi-
plexing. It is important to note that when the amplifier is
disabled, the Thermal Flag pin circuitry continues to operate.
This feature allows use of the Thermal Flag pin output to
implement thermal protection strategies. For more details,
please see the section on thermal protection.
The OPA569 Enable pin has an internal pull-up circuit, so it
does not have to be connected to the positive supply for
normal operation. To disable the amplifier, the Enable pin
must be connected to no more than (V
–
) + 0.8V. To enable
the amplifier, either allow the Enable pin to float or connect
it to at least (V
–
) + 2.5V.
The Enable pin is referenced to the negative supply (V
–
).
Therefore, shutdown operation is slightly different in single-
supply and dual-supply applications.
In single-supply operation, V
–
typically equals common
ground, thus the enable/disable logic signal and the OPA569
Enable pin are referenced to the same potential. In this
configuration, the logic level and the OPA569 Enable pin can
simply be tied together. Disable occurs for voltage levels of
less than 0.8V. The OPA569 is enabled at logic levels
greater than 2.5V.
In dual-supply operation, the logic level is referenced to a
logic ground. However, the OPA569 Enable pin is still refer-
enced to V
–
. To disable the OPA569, the voltage level of the
logic signal needs to be level-shifted. This can be done using
an optocoupler, as shown in Figure 5.
Examples of output behavior during disabled and enabled
conditions with various load impedances are shown in the
typical characteristics section. Please note that this behavior
is a function of board layout, load impedances and bypass
strategies. For sensitive loads, the use of a low-pass filter or
other protection strategy is recommended.
ENSURING MICROCONTROLLER COMPATIBILITY
Not all microcontrollers output the same logic state after
power-up or reset. 8051-type microcontrollers, for example,
output logic HIGH levels on their ports while other models
power up with logic LOW levels after reset.
In configuration (a) shown in Figure 5, the enable/disable
signal is applied on the cathode side of the photodiode within
the optocoupler. A logic HIGH level causes the OPA569 to
be enabled, and a logic LOW level disables the OPA569. In
configuration (b) of Figure 5, with the logic signal applied on
the anode side, a high level disables the OPA569 and a low
level enables the op amp.
RAIL TO RAIL OUTPUT RANGE
The OPA569 has a class AB output stage with common
source transistors that are used to achieve rail-to-rail output
swing. It was designed to be able to swing closer to the rail
than other existing linear amplifiers, even with high output
current levels. A quick way to estimate the output swing with
various output current requirements is by using the equation:
