LM321 LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

LOW POWER SINGLE OP AMP

 DESCRIPTION
The UTC LM321’s quiescent current is only 430µA (5V). The
UTC LM321 brings performance and economy to low power
systems, With a high unity gain frequency and a specified 0.4V/µs
slew rate. The input common mode range includes ground and
therefore the device is able to operate in single supply
applications as well as in dual supply applications. It is also
capable of comfortably driving large capacitive loads.

 FEATURES
* Low supply current 430µA
* VCC=5V, TA=25°C. Typical values unless specified.
* Gain-Bandwidth product 1MHz
* Low input bias current 45nA
* Wide supply voltage range +3V~+32V
* Stable with high capacitive loads

Notes: 1. Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which the device could be permanently damaged.
Absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only and functional device operation is not implied.
2. This input current will only exist when the voltage at any of the input leads is driven negative. It is due to
the collector base junction of the input PNP transistors becoming forward biased and thereby acting as
input diode clamps. In addition to this diode action, there is also lateral NPN parasitic transistor action on
the IC chip. This transistor action can cause the output voltages of the op amps to go to the V+ voltage
level (or to ground for a large overdrive) for the time duration that an input is driven negative. This is not
destructive and normal output states will re-establish when the input voltage, which was negative, again
returns to a value greater than -0.36V (at 25°C).
3. Short circuits from the output V+ can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction. When considering
short circuits to ground the maximum output current is approximately 40mA independent of the magnitude
of V+. At values of supply voltage in excess of +15V, continuous short circuits can exceed the power
dissipation ratings and cause eventual destruction.

Notes: 1. All limits are specified by testing or statistical analysis.
2. Typical values represent the most likely parametric norm.
3. VO  1.4V, RS=0Ω with V+ from 5V to 30V; and over the full input common-mode range (0V~V+ -1.5V) at
25°C.
4. The direction of the input current is out of the IC due to the PNP input stage. This current is essentially
constant, independent of the state of the output so no loading change exists on the input lines.
5. The input common-mode voltage of either input signal voltage should not be allowed to go negative by
more than 0.3V (at 25°C). The upper end of the common-mode voltage range is V+-1.5V at 25°C, but either
or both inputs can go to +32V without damage, independent of the magnitude of V+.
6. Short circuits from the output V+ can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction. When considering
short circuits to ground the maximum output current is approximately 40mA independent of the magnitude
of V+. At values of supply voltage in excess of +15V, continuous short circuits can exceed the power
dissipation ratings and cause eventual destruction.
