DESCRIPTION
The OPA688 is a wideband, unity gain stable voltagefeedback op amp that offers bipolar output voltage limiting. Two buffered limiting voltages take control of the
output when it attempts to drive beyond these limits.
This new output limiting architecture holds the limiter
offset error to ±15mV. The op amp operates linearly to
within 30mV of the output limit voltages.
The combination of narrow nonlinear range and low
limiting offset allows the limiting voltages to be set
within 100mV of the desired linear output range. A fast
2.4ns recovery from limiting ensures that overdrive signals will be transparent to the signal channel. Imple-
menting the limiting function at the output, as opposed to
the input, gives the specified limiting accuracy for any
gain, and allows the OPA688 to be used in all standard
op amp applications.
Non-linear analog signal processing will benefit from
the OPA688’s sharp transition from linear operation to
output limiting. The quick recovery time supports highspeed applications.
The OPA688 is available in an industry standard pinout
SO-8 package. For higher gain, or transimpedance applications requiring output limiting with fast recovery,
consider the OPA689.

Electrostatic discharge can cause damage ranging from performance degradation to complete device failure. Burr-Brown Corporation recommends that all integrated circuits be handled and stored
using appropriate ESD protection methods.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to
complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes
could cause the device not to meet published specifications.

bypass capacitors are shown explicitly in Figures 1 and 2,
but will be assumed in the other figures. The limiter voltages
(VH and VL) and their bias currents (IVH and IVL) have the

use three resistors to set VH and VL, where the dual-supply
circuit usually uses four to reference the limit voltages to
ground.

Figure 3 shows a simple ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) driver that operates on a single supply, and gives
excellent distortion performance. The limit voltages track
the input range of the converter, completely protecting
against input overdrive.

PRECISION HALF WAVE RECTIFIER
Figure 4 shows a half wave rectifier with outstanding precision and speed. VH (pin 8) will default to a voltage between
3.1 and 3.8V if left open, while the negative limit is set to
ground.
When VO tries to go below ground, CCII charges C1 through
D1, which restores the output back to ground. D1 adds a
propagation delay to the restoration process, which then has
an exponential decay with time constant R1C1/G (G = +2 =
the OPA688 gain). When the signal is above ground, it
decays to ground with a time constant of R2C1. The OPA688
output recovers very quickly from overdrive.

compensation resistor that reduces the peaking typically seen at
G = +1. Choosing RC = RS + RF gives a unity gain buffer with
approximately the G = +2 frequency response.

OPERATING INFORMATION
THEORY OF OPERATION
The OPA688 is a voltage-feedback op amp that is unity-gain
stable. The output voltage is limited to a range set by the voltage
on the limiter pins (5 and 8). When the input tries to overdrive the
output, the limiters take control of the output buffer. This avoids
saturating any part of the signal path, giving quick overdrive
recovery and excellent limiter accuracy at any signal gain.
The limiters have a very sharp transition from the linear region
of operation to output limiting. This allows the limiter voltages to
be set very near (< 100mV) the desired signal range. The
distortion performance is also very good near the limiter voltages.
CIRCUIT LAYOUT
Achieving optimum performance with the high-frequency
OPA688 requires careful attention to layout design and
component selection. Recommended PCB layout techniques
and component selection criteria are:
a) Minimize parasitic capacitance to any AC ground for
all of the signal I/O pins. Open a window in the ground and
power planes around the signal I/O pins, and leave the
ground and power planes unbroken elsewhere.
b) Provide a high quality power supply. Use linear regulators,
ground plane and power planes to provide power. Place highfrequency 0.1µF decoupling capacitors < 0.2" away from each
power-supply pin. Use wide, short traces to connect to these
capacitors to the ground and power planes. Also use larger
(2.2µF to 6.8µF) high-frequency decoupling capacitors to bypass lower frequencies. They may be somewhat further from the
device, and be shared among several adjacent devices.
OPA688
SBOS082A
c) Place external components close to the OPA688. This
minimizes inductance, ground loops, transmission line effects and propagation delay problems. Be extra careful with
the feedback (RF), input and output resistors.
d) Use high-frequency components to minimize parasitic
elements. Resistors should be a very low reactance type.
Surface-mount resistors work best and allow a tighter layout. Metal film or carbon composition axially-leaded resistors can also provide good performance when their leads are
as short as possible. Never use wirewound resistors for highfrequency applications. Remember that most potentiometers
have large parasitic capacitances and inductances.
Multilayer ceramic chip capacitors work best and take up
little space. Monolithic ceramic capacitors also work very
well. Use RF type capacitors with low ESR and ESL. The
large power pin bypass capacitors (2.2µF to 6.8µF) should
be tantalum for better high-frequency and pulse performance.
e) Choose low resistor values to minimize the time constant
set by the resistor and its parasitic parallel capacitance. Good
metal film or surface mount resistors have approximately
0.2pF parasitic parallel capacitance. For resistors > 1.5kΩ,
this adds a pole and/or zero below 500MHz.
Make sure that the output loading is not too heavy. The
recommended 402Ω feedback resistor is a good starting
point in your design.
f) Use short direct traces to other wideband devices on the
board. Short traces act as a lumped capacitive load. Wide traces
(50 to 100 mils) should be used. Estimate the total capacitive
load at the output, and use the series isolation resistor recommended in the typical performance curve “RS vs Capacitive
Load”. Parasitic loads < 2pF may not need the isolation resistor.
g) When long traces are necessary, use transmission line
design techniques (consult an ECL design handbook for
microstrip and stripline layout techniques). A 50Ω transmission line is not required on board—a higher characteristic
impedance will help reduce output loading. Use a matching
series resistor at the output of the op amp to drive a
transmission line, and a matched load resistor at the other
end to make the line appear as a resistor. If the 6dB of
attenuation that the matched load produces is not acceptable,
and the line is not too long, use the series resistor at the
source only. This will isolate the source from the reactive
load presented by the line, but the frequency response will
be degraded.
Multiple destination devices are best handled as separate
transmission lines, each with its own series source and shunt
load terminations. Any parasitic impedances acting on the
terminating resistors will alter the transmission line match,
and can cause unwanted signal reflections and reactive
loading.
h) Do not use sockets for high-speed parts like the OPA688.
The additional lead length and pin-to-pin capacitance introduced by the socket creates an extremely troublesome parasitic network. Best results are obtained by soldering the part
onto the board.

POWER SUPPLIES
The OPA688 is nominally specified for operation using
either ±5V supplies or a single +5V supply. The maximum
specified total supply voltage of 12V allows reasonable
tolerances on the supplies. Higher supply voltages can break
down internal junctions, possibly leading to catastrophic
failure. Single-supply operation is possible as long as common mode voltage constraints are observed. The common
mode input and output voltage specifications can be interpreted as a required headroom to the supply voltage. Observing this input and output headroom requirement will allow
design of non-standard or single-supply operation circuits.
Figure 2 shows one approach to single-supply operation.
ESD PROTECTION
ESD damage has been known to damage MOSFET devices,
but any semiconductor device is vulnerable to ESD damage.
This is particularly true for very high-speed, fine geometry
processes.
ESD damage can cause subtle changes in amplifier input
characteristics without necessarily destroying the device. In
precision operational amplifiers, this may cause a noticeable
degradation of offset voltage and drift. Therefore, ESD
handling precautions are required when handling the OPA688.
OUTPUT LIMITERS
The output voltage is linearly dependent on the input(s)
when it is between the limiter voltages VH (pin 8) and VL
(pin 5). When the output tries to exceed VH or VL, the
corresponding limiter buffer takes control of the output
voltage and holds it at VH or VL.
Because the limiters act on the output, their accuracy does
not change with gain. The transition from the linear region
of operation to output limiting is very sharp—the desired
output signal can safely come to within 30mV of VH or VL
with no onset of non-linearity.
The limiter voltages can be set to within 0.7V of the supplies
(VL ≥ –VS + 0.7V, VH ≤ +VS – 0.7V). They must also be at
least 200mV apart (VH – VL ≥ 0.2V).
When pins 5 and 8 are left open, VH and VL go to the Default
Voltage Limit; the minimum values are in the Specifications.
Looking at Figure 8 for the zero bias current case will show the
expected range of (Vs – default limit voltages) = headroom.
When the limiter voltages are more than 2.1V from the supplies
(VL ≥ –VS + 2.1V or VH ≤ +VS – 2.1V), you can use simple
resistor dividers to set VH and VL (see Figure 1). Make sure you
include the Limiter Input Bias Currents (Figure 8) in the
calculations (i.e., IVL ≈ –50µA out of pin 5, and IVH ≈ +50µA
out of pin 8). For good limiter voltage accuracy, run at least
1mA quiescent bias current through these resistors.
When the limiter voltages need to be within 2.1V of the
supplies (VL ≤ –VS + 2.1V or VH ≥ +VS – 2.1V), consider using
low impedance buffers to set VH and VL to minimize errors due
to bias current uncertainty. This will typically be the case for
single supply operation (VS = +5V). Figure 2 runs 2.5mA
through the resistive divider that sets VH and VL. This keeps
errors due to IVH and IVL < ±1% of the target limit voltages.
The limiters’ DC accuracy depends on attention to detail. The
two dominant error sources can be improved as follows:
• Power supplies, when used to drive resistive dividers that set
VH and VL, can contribute large errors (e.g., ±5%). Using a
more accurate source, and bypassing pins 5 and 8 with good
capacitors, will improve limiter PSRR.
• The resistor tolerances in the resistive divider can also
dominate. Use 1% resistors.
Other error sources also contribute, but should have little
impact on the limiters’ DC accuracy:
• Reduce offsets caused by the Limiter Input Bias Currents.
Select the resistors in the resistive divider(s) as described
above.
• Consider the signal path DC errors as contributing to uncertainty in the useable output swing.
• The Limiter Offset Voltage only slightly degrades limiter
accuracy.
Figure 9 shows how the limiters affect distortion performance.
Virtually no degradation in linearity is observed for output
voltage swinging right up to the limiter voltages.

OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The circuit in Figure 10 allows offset adjustment without
degrading offset drift with temperature. Use this circuit with
caution since power supply noise can inadvertently couple
into the op amp.

For example, the maximum TJ for a OPA688U with G = +2,
RFB = 402Ω, RL = 100Ω, and ±VS = ±5V at the maximum

NOTES: (1) Set R1 << RTRIM. (2) R3 is optional and
minimizes output offset due to input bias currents.
FIGURE 10. Offset Voltage Trim.
Remember that additional offset errors can be created by the
amplifier’s input bias currents. Whenever possible, match
the impedance seen by both DC input bias currents using R3.
This minimizes the output offset voltage caused by the input
bias currents.
OUTPUT DRIVE
The OPA688 has been optimized to drive 500Ω loads, such
as ADCs. It still performs very well driving 100Ω loads; the
specifications are shown for the 500Ω load. This makes the
OPA688 an ideal choice for a wide range of high-frequency
applications.
Many high-speed applications, such as driving ADCs, require op amps with low output impedance. As shown in the
typical performance curve “Output Impedance vs Frequency”,
the OPA688 maintains very low closed-loop output impedance over frequency. Closed-loop output impedance increases with frequency, since loop gain decreases with
frequency.
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The OPA688 will not require heat-sinking under most operating conditions. Maximum desired junction temperature
will set a maximum allowed internal power dissipation as
described below. In no case should the maximum junction
temperature be allowed to exceed 175°C.
The total internal power dissipation (PD) is the sum of
quiescent power (PDQ) and the additional power dissipated in
the output stage (PDL) while delivering load power. PDQ is
simply the specified no-load supply current times the total
supply voltage across the part. PDL depends on the required
output signals and loads. For a grounded resistive load, and
equal bipolar supplies, it is at a maximum when the output
is at 1/2 either supply voltage. In this condition,
PDL = VS2/(4RL) where RL includes the feedback network
loading. Note that it is the power in the output stage, and not
in the load, that determines internal power dissipation.

CAPACITIVE LOADS
Capacitive loads, such as the input to ADCs, will decrease
the amplifier’s phase margin, which may cause high-frequency peaking or oscillations. Capacitive loads ≥ 2pF
should be isolated by connecting a small resistor in series
with the output as shown in Figure 11. Increasing the gain
from +2 will improve the capacitive drive capabilities due to
increased phase margin.

FIGURE 11. Driving Capacitive Loads.
In general, capacitive loads should be minimized for optimum high-frequency performance. The capacitance of coax
cable (29pF/foot for RG-58) will not load the amplifier
when the coaxial cable, or transmission line, is terminated in
its characteristic impedance.
FREQUENCY RESPONSE COMPENSATION
The OPA688 is internally compensated to be unity-gain
stable, and has a nominal phase margin of 60° at a gain of
+2. Phase margin and peaking improve at higher gains.
Recall that an inverting gain of –1 is equivalent to a gain of
+2 for bandwidth purposes (i.e., noise gain = 2).
Standard external compensation techniques work with this
device. For example, in the inverting configuration, the
bandwidth may be limited without modifying the inverting
gain by placing a series RC network to ground on the
inverting node. This has the effect of increasing the noise
gain at high frequencies, which limits the bandwidth.
15
In applications where a large feedback resistor is required,
such as photodiode transimpedance amplifier, the parasitic
capacitance from the inverting input to ground causes peaking or oscillations. To compensate for this effect, connect a
small capacitor in parallel with the feedback resistor. The
bandwidth will be limited by the pole that the feedback
resistor and this capacitor create. In other high gain applications, use a three resistor “Tee” network to reduce the RC
time constants set by the parasitic capacitances. Be careful
to not increase the noise generated by this feedback network
too much.
PULSE SETTLING TIME
The OPA688 is capable of an extremely fast settling time in
response to a pulse input. Frequency response flatness and
phase linearity are needed to obtain the best settling times.
For capacitive loads, such as an ADC, use the recommended
RS in the typical performance curve “RS vs Capacitive
Load”. Extremely fine-scale settling (0.01%) requires close
attention to ground return current in the supply decoupling
capacitors.
The pulse settling characteristics when recovering from
overdrive are very good.
16
DISTORTION
The OPA688’s distortion performance is specified for a
500Ω load, such as an ADC. Driving loads with smaller
resistance will increase the distortion as illustrated in Figure
12. Remember to include the feedback network in the load
resistance calculations.

To maintain a wide bandwidth at high gains, cascade several
op amps, or use the high gain optimized OPA689.
