PRECISION MICROPOWER CMOS OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES & BENEFITS
The ALD1731A/ALD1731 is a precision, low cost, monolithic CMOS
micropower high slew rate operational amplifier intended for a broad
range of analog applications using ±1V to ±5V dual power supply
systems, as well as +2V to +10V battery operated systems. All device
characteristics are specified for +5V single supply or ±2.5V dual supply
systems. Supply current is 250µA maximum at 5V supply voltage. It is
• Extremely low input offset voltages --
35µV typical
• Extremely low input bias currents --
0.01pA typical
• All parameters specified for +5V single
supply or ±2.5V dual supply systems
• Rail to rail input and output voltage ranges
• No frequency compensation required --
unity gain stable

• Idealforhighsourceimpedanceapplications
• Dual power supplies ±1.0V to ±5.0V
• Single power supply +2.0V to +10.0V
• High voltage gain -- typically 100V/mV
@ ±2.5V(100dB)
• Drive as low as 10KΩ load
• Output short circuit protected
• Unity gain bandwidth of 0.7MHz
• Slew rate of 0.7V/µs
• Micropower dissipation
• Suitable for rugged, temperature-extreme
environments
Several additional important characteristics of the device make applica-
tioneasiertoimplementatthosevoltages. First, theoperationalamplifier
can operate with rail to rail input and output voltages. This means the
signal input voltage and output voltage can be equal to the positive and
negative supply voltages. This feature allows numerous analog serial
stages and flexibility in input signal bias levels. Second, the device was
designed to accommodate mixed applications where digital and analog
circuits may operate off the same power supply or battery. Third, the
output stage can typically drive up to 50pF capacitive and 10KΩ resistive
loads.
