SNOSAG7C – AUGUST 2005 – REVISED MARCH 2013

POWER SUPPLIES AND LAYOUT

The LPV511 operates from a single 2.7V to 12V power supply. It is recommended to bypass the power supplies

with a 0.1

Ground layout improves performance by decreasing the amount of stray capacitance and noise at the op amp's

inputs and outputs. To decrease stray capacitance, minimize PC board trace lengths and resistor leads, and

place external components close to the op amps's pins.

Typical Applications

BATTERY CURRENT SENSING

The rail-to-rail common mode input range and the very low quiescent current make the LPV511 ideal to use in

high side and low side battery current sensing applications. The high side current sensing circuit in Figure 30 is

commonly used in a battery charger to monitor the charging current in order to prevent over charging. A sense

SUMMING AMPLIFIER

The LPV511 operational amplifier is a perfect fit in a summing amplifier circuit because of the rail-to-rail input and

output and the sub-micro Amp quiescent current. In this configuration, the amplifier outputs the sum of the three

input voltages.

The ratio of the sum and the output voltage is defined using feedback and input resistors.
