The OPAx323S devices feature SHDN pins that disable the op amp, placing the op amp into a low-power standby mode. In this mode, the op amp typically consumes less than 1000nA at room temperature. The SHDN pins are active low, meaning that shutdown mode is enabled when the input to the SHDN pin is a valid logic low.
The SHDN pins are referenced to the negative supply voltage of the op amp. The threshold of the shutdown feature lies around 500mV (typical) and does not change with respect to the supply voltage. Hysteresis has been included in the switching threshold to provide for smooth switching characteristics. For optimal shutdown behavior, the SHDN pins must be driven with valid logic signals. A valid logic low is defined as a voltage between V– and (V–) + 0.2V. A valid logic high is defined as a voltage between (V–) + 1V and V+. To enable the amplifier, the SHDN pins must be driven to a valid logic high. To disable the amplifier, the SHDN pins must be driven to a valid logic low. TI highly recommends to not leave the shutdown pin floating, but to connect the shutdown pin to a valid high or low voltage. The maximum voltage allowed at the SHDN pins is (V+) + 0.5V. Exceeding this voltage level damages the device.
The SHDN pins are high-impedance CMOS inputs. Dual op amp versions are independently controlled and quad op amp versions are controlled in pairs with logic inputs. For battery-operated applications, this feature can be used to greatly reduce the average current and extend battery life. The enable and disable time is targeted to be under 1µs for full shutdown of all channels. When disabled, the output assumes a high-impedance state. This architecture allows the OPAx323S to operate as a gated amplifier (or to have the device output multiplexed onto a common analog output bus). Shutdown time (tOFF) depends on loading conditions as any charge on the output capacitor needs to be discharged by any external resistive load or the op-amp. To achieve the 1µs shutdown time, the specified 10kΩ load to midsupply (VS / 2) is required with no capacitive load.
