Dual, 9MHz, Operational
Transconductance Amplifier (OTA)
FN1174.6
Features
• Low Initial Input Offset Voltage: 500µV (Max) (CA3280A)
The CA3280 and CA3280A types consist of two variable
operational amplifiers that are designed to substantially reduce
the initial input offset voltage and the offset voltage variation
with respect to changes in programming current. This design
results in reduced “AGC thump,” an objectionable characteristic
of many AGC systems. Interdigitation, or crosscoupling, of
critical portions of the circuit reduces the amplifier dependence
upon thermal and processing variables.
The CA3280 has all the generic characteristics of an
operational voltage amplifier except that the forward transfer
characteristics is best described by transconductance rather
than voltage gain, and the output is current, not voltage. The
magnitude of the output current is equal to the product of
transconductance and the input voltage. This type of
operational transconductance amplifier was first introduced in
1969, and it has since gained wide acceptance as a gateable,
gain controlled building block for instrumentation and audio
applications, such as linearization of transducer outputs,
standardization of widely changing signals for data processing,
multiplexing, instrumentation amplifiers operating from the
nanopower range to high current and high speed comparators.
For additional application information on this device and on
OTAs in general, please refer to Application Notes: AN6818,
AN6668, and AN6077.

Application Information
Figures 4 and 5 show the equivalent circuits for the current
source and linearization diodes in the CA3280. The current
through the linearization network is approximately equal to the
programming current. There are several advantages to driving
these diodes with a current source. First, only the offset current
from the biasing network flows through the input resistor.
Second, another input is provided to extend the gain control
dynamic range. And third, the input is truly differential and can
accept signals within the common mode range of the CA3280.
Typical Applications
The structure of the variable operational amplifier eliminates
the need for matched resistor networks in differential to single
ended converters, as shown in Figure 6. A matched resistor
network requires ratio matching of 0.01% or trimming for 80dB
of common-mode rejection. The CA3280, with its excellent
common mode rejection ratio, is capable of converting a small
(±25mV) differential input signal to a single-ended output
without the need for a matched resistor network.
Figure 7 shows the CA3280 in a typical gain control application.
Gain control can be performed with the amplifier bias current
(lABC). With no diode bias current, the gain is merely gMRL. For
example, with an lABC of 1mA, the gM is approximately 16mS.
With the CA3280 operating into a 5kΩ resistor, the gain is 80.
The need for external buffers can be eliminated by the use of
low value load resistors, but the resulting increase in the
required amplifier bias current reduces the input impedance
of the CA3280. The linearization diode impedance also
decreases as the diode bias current increases, which further
loads the input. The diodes, in addition to acting as a
linearization network, also operate as an additional
attenuation system to accommodate input signals in the volt
range when they are applied through appropriate input
resistors.
Figure 10 shows a triangle wave to sine wave converter
using the CA3280. Two 100kΩ resistors are connected
between the differential amplifier emitters and V+ to reduce
the current flow through the differential amplifier. This allows
the amplifier to fully cut off during peak input signal
excursions. THD is appropriately 0.37% for this circuit.
