ZHCSGM4D August 2017 – September 2024 OPA838
PRODMIX
As noted, the 6-pin packages that offer a power-shutdown feature must have that pin asserted. To retain the lowest possible shutdown power, no internal pullup resistors are present in the OPA838. The control threshold is referenced off the negative supply with a nominal internal threshold near 1 V greater than the negative supply. Worst-case tolerances dictate the required low-level voltage to provide a shutdown of 0.55 V (or less) greater than the negative supply, and 1.5 V (or more) greater than the negative supply to maintain enabled operation. The required control pin current is less than ±50 nA. For SOT‑23‑6 applications that do not require a shutdown functionality, connect the disable control pin to the positive supply. For SC70 package applications that do not require a shutdown, use the 5-pin package where the control pad is internally connected to the positive supply. When disabled, the output nominally goes to a high-impedance state. However, the feedback network provides a path for discharge for an off-state voltage condition. Figure 6-51 illustrates the turn-on time with a sinusoidal input that is relatively slow, while Figure 6-52 illustrates the turn-off time is fast. Figure 6-53 and Figure 6-54 illustrate the single-supply operation with a dc input to produce a midsupply output at gains of 6 V/V and 10 V/V. In all cases, the output voltage transitions to a point close to the positive supply voltage and then moves to the desired output voltage 0.5 µs to 1.5 µs after the disable control line goes high. The supply current in shutdown is a low 0.1 µA nominally with a maximum 1 µA.
