OPA2348 Understanding

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA2348

I have prototyped up the attached circuit using the OPA2348 and am wondering if you can help me understand the results I am getting.

 

Conditions:

  • CONN_PIN is unconnected
  • SEL0 = 0V
  • SEL1 = 0V
  • SEL2 = 5V
  • SEL3 = 0V

 

The above conditions turn on only PFET Q2-B.  All other pull-up and pull-down sources are disabled.

 

Results:

  • Node CONN_PIN is 4.761V
  • Node N1 = 4.763V
  • Node N2 = 4.757V
  • Node N3 = 4.972V
  • Node N13 = 4.758V
  • Node N21 = 4.969V

 

How come the op-amp rails with an input voltage within the common mode range?  If I start adding a little bit of load (e.g. 1 Meg from CONN_PIN to ground), the output of the op-amp is within a few millivolts of the input to the op-amp.
