PRODUCTION DATA
The OPAx992S devices feature one or more shutdown pins (SHDN) that disable the op amp, placing it into a low-power standby mode. In this mode, the op amp typically consumes about 40µA. The SHDN pins are active high, meaning that shutdown mode is enabled when the input to the SHDN pin is a valid logic high. The amplifier is enabled when the input to the SHDN pin is a valid logic low.
The SHDN pins are referenced to the negative supply rail of the op amp. The threshold of the shutdown feature lies around 800mV (typical) and does not change with respect to the supply voltage. Hysteresis has been included in the switching threshold for smooth switching characteristics. For optimal shutdown behavior, the SHDN pins should 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– + 1.1V and V– + 20V. The shutdown pin circuitry includes a pull-down resistor, which will inherently pull the voltage of the pin to the negative supply rail if not driven. Thus, to enable the amplifier, the SHDN pins should either be left floating or driven to a valid logic low. To disable the amplifier, the SHDN pins must be driven to a valid logic high. The maximum voltage allowed at the SHDN pins is V– + 20V or V+, whichever is lower. Exceeding V– + 20V or V+, whichever is lower, will damage the device.
The SHDN pins are high-impedance CMOS inputs. Channels of single and dual op amp packages are independently controlled, and channels of quad op amp packages are controlled in pairs. For battery-operated applications, this feature may be used to greatly reduce the average current and extend battery life. The typical enable time out of shutdown is 15µs; disable time is 3µs. When disabled, the output assumes a high-impedance state. This architecture allows the OPAx992S family to operate as a gated amplifier, multiplexer, or programmable-gain amplifier. Shutdown time (tOFF) depends on loading conditions and increases as load resistance increases. For shutdown (disable) within a specific shutdown time, the specified 10kΩ load to V- is required. If using the OPAx992S without a load, the resulting turnoff time significantly increases.
