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 ±15 mV. The op amp operates linearly to within 30 mV of the output limit voltages. The combination of narrow nonlinear range and low limiting offset allows the limiting voltages to be set within 100 mV of the desired linear output range. A fast 1-ns recovery from limiting ensures that overdrive signals will be transparent to the signal channel. Implementing the limiting function at the output, as opposed to the input, gives the specified limiting accuracy for any gain and allows the OPA698 to be used in all standard op amp applications. Non-linear analog signal processing benefits from the ability of the OPA698 to sharply transition from linear operation to output limiting. The quick recovery time supports high-speed applications. The OPA698M is available in an industry standard pinout CDIP-8 package. For higher gain or transimpedance applications requiring output limiting with fast recovery, consider the OPA699M.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Wideband Voltage Limiting Operation The OPA698 is a voltage feedback amplifier that combines features of a wideband, high slew rate amplifier with output voltage limiters. Its output can swing up to 1 V from each rail and can deliver up to 120 mA. These capabilities make it an ideal interface to drive ADC, while adding overdrive protection for the ADC inputs. Figure 47 shows the dc-coupled, gain of +2, dual power-supply circuit configuration used as the basis of the ±5-V Electrical Characteristics and Typical Characteristics. For test purposes, the input impedance is set to 50 Ω with a resistor to ground and the output impedance is set to 500 Ω. Voltage swings reported in the specifications are taken directly at the input and output pins. For the circuit of Figure 47, the total output load is 500 Ω || 804 Ω = 308 Ω. The voltage limiting pins are set to ±2 V through a voltage divider network between the +VS and ground for VH and between –VS and ground for VL. These limiter voltages are adequately bypassed with a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor to ground. The limiter voltages (VH and VL) and the respective bias currents (IVH and IVL) have the polarities shown. One additional component is included in Figure 47. An additional resistor (174 Ω) is included in series with the noninverting input. Combined with the 25-Ω dc-source resistance looking back towards the signal generator, this gives an input bias current-cancelling resistance that matches the 200-Ω source resistance seen at the inverting input (see the dc accuracy and offset control section). The power-supply bypass Submit Documentation Feedback 13 OPA698M www.ti.com SGLS287A – MAY 2005 – REVISED MARCH 2006 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS (continued) for each supply consists of two capacitors: one electrolytic 2.2 µF and one ceramic 0.1 µF. The supply bypass capacitors are shown explicitly in Figure 47 and Figure 48, but is assumed in the other figures. An additional 0.01-µF power-supply decoupling capacitor (not shown here) can be included between the two power-supply pins. In practical PC board layouts; this optional-added capacitor typically improves the 2nd harmonic distortion performance by 3 dB to 6 dB. 3.01kΩ 1.91kΩ +VS = +5V + 2.2µF 0.1µF 0.1µF VH = +2V 174Ω 7 3 VIN 8 49.9Ω OPA698 2 RG 402Ω 5 IVH 6 VO IVL 500Ω 4 RF 402Ω 0.1µF 0.1µF VL = -2V + 2.2µF 3.01kΩ 1.91kΩ -VS = -5V S0035-01 Figure 47.

The 14 Submit Documentation Feedback OPA698M www.ti.com SGLS287A – MAY 2005 – REVISED MARCH 2006 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS (continued) mid-point reference on the noninverting input is set by two 806-Ω resistors. This gives an input bias current-canceling resistance that matches the 402-Ω dc-source resistance seen at the inverting input (see the dc accuracy and offset control section). The power-supply bypass for the supply consists of two capacitors: one electrolytic 2.2 µF and one ceramic 0.1 µF. The power-supply bypass capacitors are shown explicitly in Figure 47 and Figure 48, but is assumed in the other figures. The limiter voltages (VH and VL) and the respective bias currents (IVH and IVL) have the polarities shown. These limiter voltages are adequately bypassed with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to ground. Notice that the single-supply circuit can use three resistors to set VH and VL, where the dual-supply circuit usually uses four to reference the limit voltages to ground. While this circuit shows +5-V operation, the same circuit may be used for single supplies up to +12 V. Wideband Inverting Operation Operating the OPA698 as an inverting amplifier has several benefits and is particularly useful when a matched 50-Ω source and input impedance are required. Figure 49 shows the inverting gain of –2 circuit used as the basis of the inverting mode typical characteristics. +5V 0.1µF RT 147Ω +2V VH OPA698 VO VL 500Ω -5V 50Ω Source 200Ω -2V 402Ω VI RM 66.5Ω S0037-01 Figure 49. Inverting G = –2 Specifications and Test Circuit In the inverting case, only the feedback resistor appears as part of the total output load in parallel with the actual load. For a 500-Ω load used in the typical characteristics, this gives a total load of 222 Ω in this inverting configuration. The gain resistor is set to get the desired gain (in this case, 200 Ω for a gain of –2); while an additional input resistor (RM) can be used to set the total input impedance equal to the source, if desired. In this case, RM = 66.5 Ω in parallel with the 200-Ω gain setting resistor gives a matched input impedance of 50 W. This matching is only needed when the input needs to be matched to a source impedance, as in the characterization testing done using the circuit of Figure 49. For bias current-cancellation matching, the noninverting input requires a 147-Ω resistor to ground. The calculation for this resistor includes a dc-coupled 50-Ω source impedance along with RG and RM. Although this resistor provides cancellation for the bias current, it must be well decoupled (0.1 µF in Figure 49) to filter the noise contribution of the resistor and the input current noise. As the required RG resistor approaches 50 Ω at higher gains, the bandwidth for the circuit in Figure 49 far exceeds the bandwidth at that same gain magnitude for the noninverting circuit of Figure 47. This occurs due to the lower noise gain for the circuit of Figure 49 when the 50-Ω source impedance is included in the analysis. For instance, at a signal gain of –8 (RG = 50 Ω, RM = open, RF = 402 Ω) the noise gain for the circuit of Figure 49 will be 1 + 402 Ω/(50 Ω + 50 Ω) = 5 due to the addition of the 50-Ω source in the noise gain equation. This approach gives considerably higher bandwidth than the noninverting gain of +8. Using the 250-MHz gain bandwidth product for the OPA698, an inverting gain of –8 from a 50-Ω source to a 50 Ω RG gives 52-MHz bandwidth, whereas the noninverting gain of +8 gives 28 MHz, as shown in Figure 50.

The upper limiting voltage is left open, resulting in an upper limiting voltage of +3.5 V. The lower limiting voltage is connected to the input signal, resulting in the following behavior. When the input voltage is negative, the amplifier is not limiting, resulting in the inversion of the input sine wave to the output. During the positive excursion of the input signal, the output signal is being driven by the limiting input pin. Since the output is driven from the limiter input pin from positive inputs, the lower slew rate in the input path restricts the application of this approach to lower amplitude and/or frequencies.

OPERATING SUGGESTIONS Theory of Operation The OPA698 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 action from the limiters avoids saturating any part of the signal path, giving quick overdrive recovery and excellent limiter accuracy at any signal gain. The limiters have a sharp transition from the linear region of operation to output limiting. This transition allows the limiter voltages to be set near (<100 mV) the desired signal range. The distortion performance is also good near the limiter voltages. Submit Documentation Feedback 23 OPA698M www.ti.com SGLS287A – MAY 2005 – REVISED MARCH 2006 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 sharp-the desired output signal can safely come to within 30 mV of VH or VL with no onset of non-linearity. The limiter voltages can be set to within 0.7 V of the supplies (VL≥– VS + 0.7 V, VH≤ +VS– 0.7 V). They must also be at least 400 mV apart (VH– VL≥ 0.4 V). When pins 5 and 8 are left open, VH and VL go to the default voltage limit; the minimum values are given in the electrical specifications. Looking at Figure 66 for the zero bias current case shows the expected range of (VS– default limit voltages) = headroom. Limiter Input Bias Current (∝A) 100 75 Maximum Over Temperature 50 25 0 Minimum Over Temperature −25 −50 Limiter Headroom = +VS − VH = VL − (−VS) Current = IVH or − IVL −75 −100 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 Limiter Headroom (V) G046 Figure 66. Limiter Bias Current vs Bias Voltage When the limiter voltages are more than 2.1 V from the supplies (VL≥– VS + 2.1 V or VH≤ +VS– 2.1 V), you can use simple resistor dividers to set VH and VL (see Figure 47). Make sure to include the limiter input bias currents (see Figure 54) in the calculations (that is, IVL = –50 µA out of pin 5 and IVH = +50 µA out of pin 8). For good limiter voltage accuracy, run at least 1-mA quiescent bias current through these resistors. When the limiter voltages need to be within 2.1 V of the supplies (VL≤– VS + 2.1 V or VH≥ +VS– 2.1 V), consider using low impedance buffers to set VH and VL to minimize errors due to bias current uncertainty. This condition is typically the case for single-supply operation (VS = +5 V). Figure 48 runs 2.5 mA through the resistive divider that sets VH and VL. This limits 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: • • • • • • 24 Power supplies, when used to drive resistive dividers that set VH and VL, can contribute large errors (for example, ±5%). Using a more accurate source and bypassing pins 5 and 8 with good capacitors improves 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 usable output swing. The limiter offset voltage only slightly degrades limiter accuracy. Figure 67 shows how the limiters affect distortion performance. Virtually no degradation in linearity is observed for output voltage swinging right up to the limiter voltages.

Harmonic Distortion Near Limit Voltages Output Drive The OPA698 has been optimized to drive 500-Ω loads, such as ADCs. It still performs well driving 100-Ω loads; the specifications are shown for the 500-Ω load. This makes the OPA698 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 OPA698 maintains low closed-loop output impedance over frequency. Closed-loop output impedance increases with frequency, since loop gain decreases with frequency. Thermal Considerations The OPA698 does not require heat sinking under most operating conditions. Maximum desired junction temperature sets a maximum allowed internal power dissipation as described below. In no case should the maximum junction temperature be allowed to exceed 150°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 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. The operating junction temperature is: TJ = TA + PD x θJA, where TA is the ambient temperature. For example, the maximum TJ for a OPA698ID with G = +2, RF = 402 Ω, RL = 100 Ω, and ±VS = ±5 V at TA = +85°C is calculated as: P (10 V 15.5 mA) 155 mW DO (5V)2 P 70 mW DL 4 (100 804 ) P D 155 mW 70 mW 225 mW T 85oC 225 mW 125 oCW 113 oC J (4) This would be the maximum TJ from VO = ±2.5 VDC. Most applications will be at a lower output stage power and have a lower TJ. Care must be taken when operating at higher ambient temperatures.

Capacitive loads ≥2 pF should be isolated by connecting a small resistor in series with the output, as shown in Figure 68. Increasing the gain from +2 improves the capacitive drive capabilities due to increased phase margin. RG RF RS VO OPA698 RL RT CL RL is optional S0048-01 Figure 68. Driving Capacitive Loads In general, capacitive loads should be minimized for optimum high-frequency performance. The capacitance of coax cable (29 pF/ft 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 OPA698 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 (that is, 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. To maintain a wide bandwidth at high gains, cascade several op amps, or use the high-gain optimized OPA699. 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 not to increase the noise generated by this feedback network too much. Pulse Settling Time The OPA698 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 good. Distortion The OPA698 distortion performance is specified for a 500-Ω load, such as an ADC. Driving loads with smaller resistance increases the distortion, as illustrated in Figure 69. Remember to include the feedback network in the load resistance calculations. 26 Submit Documentation Feedback OPA698M www.ti.com 2nd- and 3rd-Harmonic Distortion (dBc) SGLS287A – MAY 2005 – REVISED MARCH 2006 -40 VO = 2VPP f1 = 5MHz -45 -50 HD2 -55 -60 -65 HD3 -70 -75 -80 -85 -90 50 100 1000 Load Resistance (Ω) G053 Figure 69. 5-MHz Harmonic Distortion vs Load Resistance Noise Performance High slew rate, unity-gain stable, voltage feedback op amps usually achieve their slew rate at the expense of a higher input noise voltage. The 5.6-nV/√Hz input voltage noise for the OPA698, however, is much lower than comparable amplifiers. The input-referred voltage noise and the two input-referred current noise terms combine to give low output noise under a wide variety of operating conditions. Figure 70 shows the op amp noise analysis model with all the noise terms included. In this model, all noise terms are taken to be noise voltage or current density terms in either nV/√Hz or pA/√Hz.

This total input-referred spot noise voltage is only slightly higher than the 5.6 nV/√Hz specification for the op amp voltage noise alone. This is the case as long as the impedances appearing at each op amp input is limited to a maximum value of 300 Ω. Keeping both (RF || RG) and the noninverting input source impedance less than 300 Ω satisfies both noise and frequency response flatness considerations. Since the resistor-induced noise is relatively negligible, additional capacitive decoupling across the bias current cancellation resistor (RT) for the inverting op amp configuration of Figure 49 is not required, but is still desirable. DC Accuracy and Offset Control The balanced input stage of a wideband voltage feedback op amp allows good output dc accuracy in a large variety of applications. The power-supply current trim for the OPA698 gives even tighter control than comparable products. Although the high-speed input stage does require relatively high input bias current (typically ±8 µA at each input terminal), the close matching between them may be used to reduce the output dc error caused by this current. The total output offset voltage may be considerably reduced by matching the dc source resistances appearing at the two inputs. This reduces the output dc error due to the input bias currents to the offset current times the feedback resistor. Evaluating the configuration of Figure 47, using a worst-case +25°C input offset voltage and current specifications, gives a worst-case output offset voltage equal to: – (NG = noninverting signal gain) ± (NG × VIO(MAX)) ± [RF x IIO(MAX)] = ±(2 × 8 mV) ± (402 Ω × 3 µA) = ±17.2 mV A fine-scale output offset null or dc operating point adjustment is often required. Numerous techniques are available for introducing dc offset control into an op amp circuit. Most of these techniques eventually reduce to adding a dc current through the feedback resistor. In selecting an offset trim method, one key consideration is the impact on the desired signal path frequency response. If the signal path is intended to be noninverting, the offset control is best applied as an inverting summing signal to avoid interaction with the signal source. If the signal path is intended to be inverting, applying the offset control to the noninverting input may be considered. However, the dc offset voltage on the summing junction sets up a dc current back into the source which must be considered. Applying an offset adjustment to the inverting op amp input can change the noise gain and frequency response flatness. For a dc-coupled inverting amplifier, Figure 71 shows one example of an offset adjustment technique that has minimal impact on the signal frequency response. In this case, the dc offsetting current is brought into the inverting input node through resistor values that are much larger than the signal path resistors. This insures that the adjustment circuit has minimal effect on the loop gain as well as the frequency response. 28 Submit Documentation Feedback OPA698M www.ti.com SGLS287A – MAY 2005 – REVISED MARCH 2006 +5V Supply Decoupling Not Shown 0.1µF 328Ω OPA698 VO -5V RG 500Ω +5V 5kΩ RF 1kΩ VI 20kΩ ±200mV Output Adjustment 10kΩ 0.1µF 5kΩ VO VI =- RF RG = -2 S0050-01 -5V Figure 71. DC-Coupled, Inverting Gain of -2, With Offset Adjustment Board Layout Guidelines Achieving optimum performance with the high-frequency OPA698 requires careful attention to layout design and component selection. Recommended PCB layout techniques and component selection criteria are: 1. 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. 2. Provide a high quality power supply. Use linear regulators, ground plane and power planes to provide power. Place high frequency 0.1-µF 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 (2.2 µF to 6.8 µF) high-frequency decoupling capacitors to bypass lower frequencies. They may be somewhat further from the device, and be shared among several adjacent devices. 3. Place external components close to the OPA698. This minimizes inductance, ground loops, transmission line effects and propagation delay problems. Be extra careful with the feedback (RF), input and output resistors. 4. Use high-frequency components to minimize parasitic elements. Resistors should be a 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 wire-wound resistors for high-frequency 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 well. Use RF type capacitors with low ESR and ESL. The large power pin bypass capacitors (2.2 µF to 6.8 µF) should be tantalum for better high frequency and pulse performance. 5. 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 0.2-pF parasitic parallel capacitance. For resistors > 1.5 kΩ, this adds a pole and/or zero below 500 MHz. Make sure that the output loading is not too heavy. The recommended 402-Ω feedback resistor is a good starting point in most designs. 6. 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 < 2 pF may not need the isolation resistor. 7. When long traces are necessary, use transmission line design techniques (consult an ECL design handbook for microstrip and stripline layout techniques). A 50-Ω transmission line is not required on board—higher characteristic impedance helps 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 6 dB 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 isolates the source from the reactive load presented by the line, but the frequency response is 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 alters the transmission line match and can cause unwanted signal reflections and reactive loading. 8. Do not use sockets for high-speed parts like the OPA698. 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.

The maximum specified total supply voltage of 12 V 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 required headroom to the supply voltage. Observing this input and output headroom requirement allows design of non-standard or single-supply operation circuits. Figure 48 shows one approach to single-supply operation. Input and 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 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 OPA698. 30 Submit Documentation Feedback PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM www.ti.com 18-Sep-2008 PACKAGING INFORMATION Orderable Device Status (1) Package Type Package Drawing OPA698MJD ACTIVE CDIP SB JD Pins Package Eco Plan (2) Qty 8 1 TBD Lead/Ball Finish MSL Peak Temp (3) POST-PLATE N / A for Pkg Type (1) The marketing status values are defined as follows: ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
