Common mode input range for lower voltages

Thread Summary

The user inquired about the common-mode input voltage (Vcm) range for the OP282/OP482 when supplied with ±4.5V and 12V/0V. The support engineer confirmed that the Vcm range is from -0.5V to 4.5V for ±4.5V supplies and from 4V to 12V for 12V/0V supplies, with a fixed 4V input voltage foot room and 0V head room. The user clarified that the 4V foot room is a hard limit and does not scale with supply voltage.

Hi there,

by looking at the OP282/OP482 datasheet, I take the Vcm is -11V when the IC is supplied with +-15V. 
My questions is what is the limit when the part is supplied with a lower voltage - for example with +-4.5V (the PSRR is tested with that supply range). Or, as in my case, when the part is supplied between 12V and 0V.

Is the Vcm 4V higher than the lowest supply or it scales down proportionally with lower supply voltages?

  • Hello ,

    OP282/OP482 has an input voltage foot room of 4V (Vcm_min-(-Vs)) and an input voltage head room of 0V (+Vs-Vcm_max)at Vs = ± 15V as can be seen on the data sheet:


    Following the data above, we can now estimate new Input Voltage Ranges at other supply voltages. If the supplies are ±4.5V, the new Input Voltage Range will be from -0.5V (-Vs+4V) to 4.5V (+Vs-0). On the other hand, when supplied with 12V and 0V or GND (Single-Supply) the new Input Voltage Range will be from 4V (-Vs+4V) to 12V (+Vs-0).

    I hope these help.

    Best regards,

  • Hi Paul,

    thanks for your reply. Yes, the numbers in your reply match my initial post.
    So following your answer: Vs+4V limit is a 'hard limit' independent of the supplies (it does not scale down with lower supplies).

    Thanks for the info, ideally this info could be added onto the next datasheet revision.

    Regards
