PRODUCTION DATA.
The TLV6003 has rail-to-rail inputs and outputs. For common-mode inputs from –0.1 V to VCC – 0.8 V, a PNP differential pair provides the gain.
For inputs between VCC – 0.8 V and VCC, two NPN emitter followers buffering a second PNP differential pair provide the gain.
This special combination of a NPN and PNP differential pair enables the inputs to be taken 5 V greater than VCC. As the inputs rise to greater than VCC, the NPNs change from functioning as transistors to functioning as diodes. This change leads to an increase in input bias current. The second PNP differential pair continues to function normally as the inputs exceed VCC.
The TLV6003 has a negative common-mode input voltage range that can fall to less than VGND by 100 mV. If the inputs are taken to less than VGND – 0.1, reduced open-loop gain will be observed.
