DESCRIPTION
The OPA620 is a precision wideband monolithic operational amplifier featuring very fast settling time, low
differential gain and phase error, and high output
current drive capability.
The OPA620 is internally compensated for unity-gain
stability. This amplifier has a very low offset, fully
symmetrical differential input due to its “classical”
operational amplifier circuit architecture. Unlike “current-feedback” amplifier designs, the OPA620 may be
used in all op amp applications requiring high speed
and precision.
Low noise and distortion, wide bandwidth, and high
linearity make this amplifier suitable for RF and video
applications. Short-circuit protection is provided by an
internal current-limiting circuit.
The OPA620 is available in plastic and ceramic DIP
and SO-8 packages. Two temperature ranges are offered: –40°C to +85°C and –55°C to +125°C.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and
installation procedures can cause damage.
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 its published specifications.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Oscillations at frequencies of 200MHz and above can easily
occur if good grounding techniques are not used. A heavy
ground plane (2 oz. copper recommended) should connect
all unused areas on the component side. Good ground planes
can reduce stray signal pickup, provide a low resistance, low
inductance common return path for signal and power, and
can conduct heat from active circuit package pins into
ambient air by convection.
DISCUSSION OF PERFORMANCE
The OPA620 provides a level of speed and precision not
previously attainable in monolithic form. Unlike current
feedback amplifiers, the OPA620’s design uses a “classical”
operational amplifier architecture and can therefore be used
in all traditional operational amplifier applications. While it
is true that current feedback amplifiers can provide wider
bandwidth at higher gains, they offer many disadvantages.
The asymmetrical input characteristics of current feedback
amplifiers (i.e., one input is a low impedance) prevents them
from being used in a variety of applications. In addition,
unbalanced inputs make input bias current errors difficult to
correct. Bias current cancellation through matching of inverting and non-inverting input resistors is impossible
because the input bias currents are uncorrelated. Current
noise is also asymmetrical and is usually significantly higher
on the inverting input. Perhaps most important, settling time
to 0.01% is often extremely poor due to internal design
tradeoffs. Many current feedback designs exhibit settling
times to 0.01% in excess of 10 microseconds even though
0.1% settling times are reasonable. Such amplifiers are
completely inadequate for fast settling 12-bit applications.
Supply bypassing is extremely critical and must always be
used, especially when driving high current loads. Both
power supply leads should be bypassed to ground as close as
possible to the amplifier pins. Tantalum capacitors (1µF to
10µF) with very short leads are recommended. A parallel
0.1µF ceramic should be added at the supply pins. Surface
mount bypass capacitors will produce excellent results due
to their low lead inductance. Additionally, suppression filters can be used to isolate noisy supply lines. Properly
bypassed and modulation-free power supply lines allow full
amplifier output and optimum settling time
performance.
Points to Remember
1) Don’t use point-to-point wiring as the increase in wiring
inductance will be detrimental to AC performance. However, if it must be used, very short, direct signal paths are
required. The input signal ground return, the load ground
return, and the power supply common should all be
connected to the same physical point to eliminate ground
loops, which can cause unwanted feedback.
2) Good component selection is essential. Capacitors used in
critical locations should be a low inductance type with a high
quality dielectric material. Likewise, diodes used in critical
locations should be Schottky barrier types, such as HP50822835 for fast recovery and minimum charge storage.
Ordinary diodes will not be suitable in RF circuits.
3) Whenever possible, solder the OPA620 directly into the
PC board without using a socket. Sockets add parasitic
capacitance and inductance, which can seriously degrade
AC performance or produce oscillations. If sockets must be
used, consider using zero-profile solderless sockets such as
Augat part number 8134-HC-5P2. Alternately, Teflon® standoffs located close to the amplifier’s pins can be used to
mount feedback components.
4) Resistors used in feedback networks should have values
of a few hundred ohms for best performance. Shunt capacitance problems limit the acceptable resistance range to about
1kΩ on the high end and to a value that is within the
amplifier’s output drive limits on the low end. Metal film
and carbon resistors will be satisfactory, but wirewound
resistors (even “non-inductive” types) are absolutely
unacceptable in high-frequency circuits.
The OPA620’s “classical” operational amplifier architecture
employs true differential and fully symmetrical inputs to
eliminate these troublesome problems. All traditional circuit
configurations and op amp theory apply to the OPA620. The
use of low-drift thin-film resistors allows internal operating
currents to be laser-trimmed at wafer-level to optimize AC
performance such as bandwidth and settling time, as well as
DC parameters such as input offset voltage and drift. The
result is a wideband, high-frequency monolithic operational
amplifier with a gain-bandwidth product of 200MHz, a
0.01% settling time of 25ns, and an input offset voltage
of 200µV.
WIRING PRECAUTIONS
Maximizing the OPA620’s capability requires some wiring
precautions and high-frequency layout techniques.
Oscillation, ringing, poor bandwidth and settling, gain
peaking, and instability are typical problems plaguing all
high-speed amplifiers when they are improperly used. In
general, all printed circuit board conductors should be wide
to provide low resistance, low impedance signal paths. They
should also be as short as possible. The entire physical
circuit should be as small as practical. Stray capacitances
should be minimized, especially at high impedance nodes,
such as the amplifier’s input terminals. Stray signal coupling
from the output or power supplies to the inputs should be
minimized. All circuit element leads should be no longer
than 1/4 inch (6mm) to minimize lead inductance, and low
values of resistance should be used. This will minimize time
constants formed with the circuit capacitances and will
eliminate stray, parasitic circuits.
5) Surface-mount components (chip resistors, capacitors,
etc) have low lead inductance and are therefore strongly
recommended. Circuits using all surface-mount components
with the OPA620KU (SO-8 package) will offer the best AC
performance. The parasitic package inductance and capacitance for the SO-8 is lower than the both the Cerdip and
8-lead Plastic DIP.
Grounding is the most important application consideration
for the OPA620, as it is with all high-frequency circuits.

OPA620
INPUT PROTECTION
Static damage has been well recognized for MOSFET
devices, but any semiconductor device deserves protection
from this potentially damaging source. The OPA620 incorporates on-chip ESD protection diodes as shown in Figure 2.
This eliminates the need for the user to add external protection diodes, which can add capacitance and degrade AC
performance.
All pins on the OPA620 are internally protected from ESD
by means of a pair of back-to-back reverse-biased diodes to
either power supply as shown. These diodes will begin to
conduct when the input voltage exceeds either power
supply by about 0.7V. This situation can occur with loss of
the amplifier’s power supplies while a signal source is still
present. The diodes can typically withstand a continuous
current of 30mA without destruction. To insure long term
reliability, however, diode current should be externally limited to 10mA or so whenever possible.
6) Avoid overloading the output. Remember that output
current must be provided by the amplifier to drive its own
feedback network as well as to drive its load. Lowest
distortion is achieved with high impedance loads.
7) Don’t forget that these amplifiers use ±5V supplies.
Although they will operate perfectly well with +5V and
–5.2V, use of ±15V supplies will destroy the part.
8) Standard commercial test equipment has not been
designed to test devices in the OPA620’s speed range.
Benchtop op amp testers and ATE systems will require a
special test head to successfully test these amplifiers.
9) Terminate transmission line loads. Unterminated lines,
such as coaxial cable, can appear to the amplifier to be a
capacitive or inductive load. By terminating a transmission
line with its characteristic impedance, the amplifier’s load
then appears purely resistive.
10) Plug-in prototype boards and wire-wrap boards will not
be satisfactory. A clean layout using RF techniques is
essential; there are no shortcuts.
+VCC
OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The OPA620’s input offset voltage is laser-trimmed and
will require no further adjustment for most applications.
However, if additional adjustment is needed, the circuit in
Figure 1 can be used without degrading offset drift with
temperature. Avoid external adjustment whenever possible
since extraneous noise, such as power supply noise, can be
inadvertently coupled into the amplifier’s inverting input
terminal. Remember that additional offset errors can be
created by the amplifier’s input bias currents. Whenever
possible, match the impedance seen by both inputs as is
shown with R3. This will reduce input bias current errors to
the amplifier’s offset current, which is typically only 0.2µA.

FIGURE 2. Internal ESD Protection.
The internal protection diodes are designed to withstand
2.5kV (using Human Body Model) and will provide adequate ESD protection for most normal handling procedures. However, static 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, static protection is strongly recommended when
handling the OPA620.

OUTPUT DRIVE CAPABILITY
The OPA620’s design uses large output devices and has
been optimized to drive 50Ω and 75Ω resistive loads. The
device can easily drive 6Vp-p into a 50Ω load. This highoutput drive capability makes the OPA620 an ideal choice
for a wide range of RF, IF, and video applications. In many
cases, additional buffer amplifiers are unneeded.

recommended.

When the output is shorted to ground, PDL = 5V x 150mA =
750mW. Thus, PD = 230mW + 750mW ≈ 1W. Note that the
short-circuit condition represents the maximum amount of
internal power dissipation that can be generated. Thus, the
“Maximum Power Dissipation” curve starts at 1W and is
derated based on a 175°C maximum junction temperature
and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJA, of each
package. The variation of short-circuit current with temperature is shown in Figure 5.
Many demanding high-speed applications such as ADC/
DAC buffers require op amps with low wideband output
impedance. For example, low output impedance is essential
when driving the signal-dependent capacitances at the inputs
of flash A/D converters. As shown in Figure 3, the OPA620
maintains very low closed-loop output impedance over
frequency. Closed-loop output impedance increases with
frequency since loop gain is decreasing with frequency.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The OPA620 does not require a heat sink for operation in
most environments. The use of a heat sink, however, will
reduce the internal thermal rise and will result in cooler,
more reliable operation. At extreme temperatures and under
full load conditions a heat sink is necessary. See “Maximum
Power Dissipation” curve, Figure 4.
FIGURE 5. Short-Circuit Current vs Temperature.
CAPACITIVE LOADS
The OPA620’s output stage has been optimized to drive
resistive loads as low as 50Ω. Capacitive loads, however,
will decrease the amplifier’s phase margin which may cause
high frequency peaking or oscillations. Capacitive loads
greater than 20pF should be buffered by connecting a small
resistance, usually 5Ω to 25Ω, in series with the output as
shown in Figure 6. This is particularly important when
driving high capacitance loads such as flash A/D converters.

In general, capacitive loads should be minimized for

The internal power dissipation is given by the equation PD =
PDQ + PDL, where PDQ is the quiescent power dissipation and
PDL is the power dissipation in the output stage due to the
load. (For ±VCC = ±5V, PDQ = 10V x 23mA = 230mW, max).
For the case where the amplifier is driving a grounded load
(RL) with a DC voltage (±VOUT) the maximum value of PDL
occurs at ±VOUT = ±VCC/2, and is equal to PDL, max =
(±VCC)2/4RL. Note that it is the voltage across the output
transistor, and not the load, that determines the power
dissipated in the output stage.

OPA620
COMPENSATION
The OPA620 is internally compensated and is stable in unity
gain with a phase margin of approximately 60°. However,
the unity gain buffer is the most demanding circuit configuration for loop stability and oscillations are most likely to
occur in this gain. If possible, use the device in a noise gain
of two or greater to improve phase margin and reduce the
susceptibility to oscillation. (Note that, from a stability
standpoint, an inverting gain of –1V/V is equivalent to a
noise gain of 2.) Gain and phase response for other gains are
shown in the Typical Performance Curves.
The high-frequency response of the OPA620 in a good
layout is very flat with frequency. However, some circuit
configurations such as those where large feedback
resistances are used, can produce high-frequency gain peaking. This peaking can be minimized by connecting a small
capacitor in parallel with the feedback resistor. This capacitor compensates for the closed-loop, high frequency, transfer
function zero that results from the time constant formed by
the input capacitance of the amplifier (typically 2pF after PC
board mounting), and the input and feedback resistors. The
selected compensation capacitor may be a trimmer, a fixed
capacitor, or a planned PC board capacitance. The capacitance value is strongly dependent on circuit layout and
closed-loop gain. Using small resistor values will preserve
the phase margin and avoid peaking by keeping the break
frequency of this zero sufficiently high. When high closedloop gains are required, a three-resistor attenuator (tee
network) is recommended to avoid using large value
resistors with large time constants.
tors, which settle to 0.01% in sufficient time, are scarce and
expensive. Fast oscilloscopes, however, are more commonly
available. For best results, a sampling oscilloscope is recommended. Sampling scopes typically have bandwidths that
are greater than 1GHz and very low capacitance inputs.
They also exhibit faster settling times in response to signals
that would tend to overload a real-time oscilloscope.
Figure 7 shows the test circuit used to measure settling time
for the OPA620. This approach uses a 16-bit sampling
oscilloscope to monitor the input and output pulses. These
waveforms are captured by the sampling scope, averaged,
and then subtracted from each other in software to produce
the error signal. This technique eliminates the need for the
traditional “false-summing junction,” which adds extra parasitic capacitance. Note that instead of an additional flat-top
generator, this technique uses the scope’s built-in calibration
source as the input signal.

SETTLING TIME
Settling time is defined as the total time required, from the
input signal step, for the output to settle to within the
specified error band around the final value. This error band
is expressed as a percentage of the value of the output
transition, a 2V step. Thus, settling time to 0.01% requires
an error band of ±200µV centered around the final value
of 2V.

FIGURE 7. Settling Time Test Circuit.
Settling time, specified in an inverting gain of one, occurs in
only 25ns to 0.01% for a 2V step, making the OPA620 one
of the fastest settling monolithic amplifiers commercially
available. Settling time increases with closed-loop gain and
output voltage change as described in the Typical Performance Curves. Preserving settling time requires critical
attention to the details as mentioned under “Wiring Precautions.” The amplifier also recovers quickly from input
overloads. Overload recovery time to linear operation from
a 50% overload is typically only 30ns.
In practice, settling time measurements on the OPA620
prove to be very difficult to perform. Accurate measurement
is next to impossible in all but the very best equipped labs.
Among other things, a fast flat-top generator and high speed
oscilloscope are needed. Unfortunately, fast flat-top genera-
DIFFERENTIAL GAIN AND PHASE
Differential Gain (DG) and Differential Phase (DP) are
among the more important specifications for video applications. DG is defined as the percent change in closed-loop
gain over a specified change in output voltage level. DP is
defined as the change in degrees of the closed-loop phase
over the same output voltage change. Both DG and DP are
specified at the NTSC sub-carrier frequency of 3.58MHz.
DG and DP increase with closed-loop gain and output
voltage transition as shown in the Typical Performance
Curves. All measurements were performed using a Tektronix
model VM700 Video Measurement Set.

For this case OPI3P = 40dBm, PO = 4dBm, and the thirdorder IMD = 2(40 – 10) = 72dB below either 4dBm tone.

choice for a variety of RF signal processing applications.
DISTORTION
The OPA620’s harmonic distortion characteristics into a

performance to be more easily calculated. The OPA620’s

Two-tone third-order intermodulation distortion (IM) is an
important parameter for many RF amplifier applications.

spaced 1MHz apart. This curve is particularly useful for
determining the magnitude of the third-order IM products as
a function of frequency, load resistance, and gain. For
example, assume that the application requires the OPA620
to operate in a gain of +2V/V and drive 2Vp-p (4dBm for
each tone) into 50Ω at a frequency of 10MHz. Referring to
Figure 9 we find that the intercept point is +40dBm. The
