The input common-mode voltage range of the OPAx323 series extends beyond the supply rails with a common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of 100dB minimum at 5.5V as specified in Electrical Characteristics. The device is designed to have a good performance of 85dB minimum CMRR even when operating at an ultra-low supply voltage of 1.8V. This is made possible by using a zero-cross input stage architecture for the amplifier input pair.
Most commercial amplifiers employ a complementary input stage architecture which often limits the rail-to-rail CMRR to less than 65dB. This is because the offset performance across the rail-to-rail input common-mode range is not linear. One of the input pairs, usually, the P-channel pair with better offset, noise performance is designed to cover the majority of the common-mode range with the N-channel pair slated to slowly take over at a certain threshold voltage from the positive rail. The creates a big jump in the offset voltage across common mode when transitioning across the input pairs as shown in TLV900x Offset Voltage vs Common-Mode. This offset jump not only affects CMRR but also limits linearity / THD for rail-to-rail input signals.
The OPAx323 achieves linear offset performance over the entire rail-to-rail input range by extending the common-mode-range of a single P-channel input pair using an internal charge pump as shown in the Functional Block Diagram. This eliminates the need for the N-channel input pair and the resulting offset jump caused by input pair transitions.
The OPAx323 exhibits near to zero shift in offset voltage across the entire common-mode voltage as shown in Figure 7-72. This is crucial to achieving high linearity in ADC driver and audio driver applications.
