7.3.6 Common-Mode Voltage Range

The TLVx197-Q1 is a 36-V, true rail-to-rail input operational amplifier with an input common-mode range that

extends 100 mV beyond either supply rail. This wide range is achieved with paralleled complementary N-channel

and P-channel differential input pairs, as shown in Figure 39. The N-channel pair is active for input voltages

close to the positive rail, typically (V+) – 3 V to 100 mV greater than the positive supply. The P-channel pair is

active for inputs from 100 mV less than the negative supply to approximately (V+) – 1.5 V. There is a small

transition region, typically (V+) –3 V to (V+) – 1.5 V in which both input pairs are on. This transition region can

vary modestly with process variation, and within this region PSRR, CMRR, offset voltage, offset drift, noise, and

THD performance may be degraded compared to operation outside this region.

Figure 39. Rail-to-Rail Input Stage

To achieve the best performance for two-stage rail-to-rail input amplifiers, avoid the transition region when

possible. The TLVx197-Q1 uses a precision trim for both the N-channel and P-channel regions. This technique

enables significantly lower levels of offset than previous-generation devices, and causes the variance in the

transition region of the input stages to appear exaggerated relative to offset over the full common-mode range.
