• The resistor divider style rail-to-rail op amp causes higher noise and drift than the Dual NPN/PNP input stage.  The Dual NPN/PNP input stage doesn't have resistive dividers, which attenuate the signal and are the cause of the higher noise and drift. See LMV931 datasheet.

 

 

 

  • The maximum rate of change of the output signal which the amplifier is capable of delivering. See AN-71 Application Note or Knowledge Base with keyword: slew rate.

 

 

 

 

  • Slew Rate = 0.4 V/uS, using equation 12 from AN-71, the maximum power is 24mW.  See AN-71 Application Note. (Eq. 12)

 

 

 

 

  • Knowledge Base with keyword: CMR
    CMR stands for Common Mode Range. The Common Mode Range is also known as input voltage range, and is a measure of the range of input voltages that the op-amp can accept at its input pins. This is usually specified with respect to the supply rails. An LM741 for example, is guaranteed to accept input voltages that are inside the supply rails by at least 3 volts. So when operating from a dual supply of +15V and -15V, it can accept input pin voltages between +12V and -12V; this is the Common Mode Range in this situation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • This graph is not found in most high voltage parts because they rairly have rail-to-rail inputs. The low voltage, low power op-amps have two different offset voltages in some parts due to their rail-to-rail inputs.  This is something to be aware of when designing a circuit.  See LMV931.
