•
•
The OPA842 provides a level of speed and dynamic
range previously unattainable in a monolithic op amp.
Using unity-gain stable, voltage-feedback architecture
with two internal gain stages, the OPA842 achieves
exceptionally low harmonic distortion over a wide
frequency range. The classic differential input
provides all the familiar benefits of precision op amps,
such as bias current cancellation and very low
inverting current noise compared with wideband
current
differential
gain/phase
performance,
low-voltage noise, and high output current drive make
the OPA842 ideal for most high dynamic range
applications.

OPA642 UPGRADE
Unity-gain stability makes the OPA842 particularly
suitable
for
low-gain
differential
amplifiers,
transimpedance amplifiers, gain of +2 video line
drivers, wideband integrators, and low-distortion
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) buffers. Where
higher gain or even lower harmonic distortion is
required, consider the OPA843—a higher-gain
bandwidth and lower-noise version of the OPA842.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments 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.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
WIDEBAND CURRENT FEEDBACK
OPERATION
WIDEBAND INVERTING OPERATION
The OPA842 combination of speed and dynamic
range is easily achieved in a wide variety of
application circuits, providing that simple principles of
good design practice are observed. For example,
good power-supply decoupling, as shown in
Figure 37, is essential to achieve the lowest possible
harmonic distortion and smooth frequency response.
Operating the OPA842 as an inverting amplifier has
several benefits and is particularly useful when a
matched 50Ω source and input impedance is
required. Figure 38 shows the inverting gain of –2
circuit used as the basis of the inverting mode Typical
Characteristics.
+5V
Proper printed circuit board (PCB) layout and careful
component selection will maximize the performance
of the OPA842 in all applications, as discussed in the
following sections of this data sheet.
Figure 37 shows the gain of +2 configuration used as
the basis for most of the Typical Characteristics. Most
of the curves were characterized using signal sources
with 50Ω driving impedance and with measurement
equipment presenting 50Ω load impedance. In
Figure 37, the 50Ω shunt resistor at the VI terminal
matches the source impedance of the test generator
while the 50Ω series resistor at the VO terminal
provides a matching resistor for the measurement
equipment load. Generally, data sheet specifications
refer to the voltage swing at the output pin (VO in
Figure 37). The 100Ω load, combined with the 804Ω
total feedback network load, presents the OPA842
with an effective load of approximately 90Ω in
Figure 37.

Figure 38. Inverting G = –2 Specifications and
Test Circuit
In the inverting case, just the feedback resistor
appears as part of the total output load in parallel with
the actual load. For the 100Ω load used in the Typical
Characteristics, this gives a total load of 80Ω in this
inverting configuration. The gain resistor is set to get
the desired gain (in this case, 200Ω for a gain of –2)
while an additional input matching resistor (RM) can
be used to set the total input impedance equal to the
source if desired. In this case, RM = 66.5Ω in parallel
with the 200Ω gain setting resistor gives a matched
input impedance of 50Ω. 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 38. The OPA842
offers extremely good dc accuracy as well as low
noise and distortion. To take full advantage of that dc
precision, the total dc impedance looking out of each
of the input nodes must be matched to get bias
current cancellation. For the circuit of Figure 38, this
requires the 147Ω resistor shown to ground on the
noninverting input. The calculation for this resistor
includes a dc-coupled 50Ω source impedance along
11

with RG and RM. Although this resistor will provide
cancellation for the bias current, it must be
well-decoupled (0.1mF in Figure 38) to filter the noise
contribution of the resistor and the input current
noise.
As the required RG resistor approaches 50Ω at higher
gains, the bandwidth for the circuit in Figure 38 will
far exceed the bandwidth at that same gain
magnitude for the noninverting circuit of Figure 37.
This occurs due to the lower noise gain for the circuit
of Figure 38 when the 50Ω source impedance is
included in the analysis. For instance, at a signal gain
of –8 (RG = 50Ω, RM = open, RF = 402Ω) the noise
gain for the circuit of Figure 38 will be 1 + 402Ω/(50Ω
+ 50Ω) = 5 due to the addition of the 50Ω source in
the noise gain equation. This gives considerable
higher bandwidth than the noninverting gain of +8.
Using the 200MHz gain bandwidth product for the
OPA842, an inverting gain of –8 from a 50Ω source
to a 50Ω RG will give approximately 40MHz
bandwidth, whereas the noninverting gain of +8 will
give 25MHz.
BUFFERING HIGH-PERFORMANCE ADCs
To achieve full performance from a high dynamic
range ADC, considerable care must be exercised in
the design of the input amplifier interface circuit. The
example circuit on the front page shows a typical
ac-coupled interface to a very high dynamic range
converter. This ac-coupled example allows the
OPA842 to be operated using a signal range that
swings symmetrically around ground (0V). The 2VPP
swing is then level-shifted through the blocking
capacitor to a midscale reference level, which is
created by a well-decoupled resistive divider off the
converter internal reference voltages. To have a
negligible effect on the rated spurious-free dynamic
range (SFDR) of the converter, the amplifier SFDR
should be at least 10dB greater than the converter.
The OPA842 has no effect on the rated distortion of
the ADS850, given its 82dB SFDR at 2VPP, 5MHz.
The greater than 92dB SFDR for the OPA842 in this
configuration will not degrade the converter.
Successful application of the OPA842 for ADC driving
requires careful selection of the series resistor at the
amplifier output, along with the additional shunt
capacitor at the ADC input. To some extent, selection
of this RC network will be determined empirically for
each model of the converter. Many high-performance
CMOS ADCs, like the ADS850, perform better with
the shunt capacitor at the input pin. This capacitor
provides low source impedance for the transient
currents produced by the sampling process. Improved
www.ti.com
SFDR is often obtained by adding this external
capacitor, whose value is often recommended in this
converter data sheet. The external capacitor, in
combination with the built-in capacitance of the ADC
input, presents a significant capacitive load to the
OPA842. Without a series isolation resistor, an
undesirable peaking or loss of stability in the amplifier
may result.
Since the dc bias current of the CMOS ADC input is
negligible, the resistor has no effect on overall gain or
offset accuracy. Refer to the Typical Characteristic
graph, RS vs Capacitive Load (Figure 15) to obtain a
good starting value for the series resistor. This will
ensure flat frequency response to the ADC input.
Increasing the external capacitor value will allow the
series resistor to be reduced. Intentionally
bandlimiting using this RC network can also be used
to limit noise at the converter input.
VIDEO LINE DRIVING
Most video distribution systems are designed with
75Ω series resistors to drive a matched 75Ω cable. In
order to deliver a net gain of 1 to the 75Ω matched
load, the amplifier is typically set up for a voltage gain
of +2, compensating for the 6dB attenuation of the
voltage divider formed by the series and shunt 75Ω
resistors at either end of the cable.
The circuit of Figure 37 applies to this requirement if
all references to 50Ω resistors are replaced by 75Ω
values. Often, the amplifier gain is further increased
to 2.2, which recovers the additional dc loss of a
typical long cable run. This change would require the
gain resistor (RG) in Figure 37 to be reduced from
402Ω to 335Ω. In either case, both the gain flatness
and the differential gain/phase performance of the
OPA842 will provide exceptional results in video
distribution applications. Differential gain and phase
measure the change in overall small-signal gain and
phase for the color sub-carrier frequency (3.58MHz in
NTSC systems) versus changes in the large-signal
output level (which represents luminance information
in a composite video signal). The OPA842, with the
typical 150Ω load of a single matched video cable,
shows less than 0.01%/0.01° differential gain/phase
errors over the standard luminance range for a
positive video (negative sync) signal. Similar
performance would be observed for negative video
signals.

SBOS267D – NOVEMBER 2002 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2010
SINGLE OP AMP DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER
The voltage-feedback architecture of the OPA842,
with its high Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR),
will provide exceptional performance in differential
amplifier configurations. Figure 39 shows a typical
configuration. The starting point for this design is the
selection of the RF value in the range of 200Ω to 2kΩ.
Lower values reduce the required RG, increasing the
load on the V2 source and on the OPA842 output.
Higher values increase output noise and exacerbate
the effects of parasitic board and device
capacitances. Following the selection of RF, RG must
be set to achieve the desired inverting gain for V2.
Remember that the bandwidth will be set
approximately by the Gain Bandwidth Product (GBP)
divided by the noise gain (1 + RF/RG). For accurate
differential operation (that is, good CMRR), the ratio
R2/R1 must be set equal to RF/RG.
THREE OP AMP DIFFERENCING
(Instrumentation Topology)
The primary drawback of the single op amp
differential amplifier is its relatively low input
impedance. Where high impedance is required at the
differential input, a standard instrumentation amplifier
(INA) topology may be built using the OPA842 as the
differencing stage. Figure 40 shows an example of
this, in which the two input amplifiers are packaged
together as a dual voltage-feedback op amp, the
OPA2822. This approach saves board space, cost,
and power compared to using two additional OPA842
devices, and still achieves very good noise and
distortion performance due to the moderate loading
on the input amplifiers.

Usually, it is best to set the absolute values of R2 and
R1 equal to RF and RG, respectively; this equalizes
the divider resistances and cancels the effect of input
bias currents. However, it is sometimes useful to
scale the values of R2 and R1 in order to adjust the
loading on the driving source V1. In most cases, the
achievable low-frequency CMRR will be limited by the
accuracy of the resistor values. The 85dB CMRR of
the OPA842 itself will not determine the overall circuit
CMRR unless the resistor ratios are matched to
better than 0.003%. If it is necessary to trim the
CMRR, then R2 is the suggested adjustment point.
-5V
Figure 40. Wideband Three-Op Amp Differencing
Amplifier
In this circuit, the common-mode gain to the output is
always 1, due to the four matched 500Ω resistors,
whereas the differential gain is set by (1 + 2RF1/RG),
which is equal to 2 using the values in Figure 40. The
differential to single-ended conversion is still
performed by the OPA842 output stage. The
high-impedance inputs allow the V1 and V2 sources to
be terminated or impedance matched as required. If
the V1 and V2 inputs are already truly differential,
such as the output from a signal transformer, then a
single matching termination resistor may be used
between them. Remember, however, that a defined
dc signal path must always exist for the V1 and V2
inputs; for the transformer case, a center-tapped
secondary connected to ground would provide an
optimum dc operating point.

DAC TRANSIMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER
High-frequency digital-to-analog converters (DACs)
require a low-distortion output amplifier to retain the
SFDR performance into real-world loads. A
single-ended output drive implementation is shown in
Figure 41. In this circuit, only one side of the
complementary output drive signal is used. The
diagram shows the signal output current connected
into the virtual ground-summing junction of the
OPA842, which is set up as a transimpedance stage
or I-V converter. The unused current output of the
DAC is connected to ground. If the DAC requires its
outputs terminated to a compliance voltage other than
ground for operation, then the appropriate voltage
level may be applied to the noninverting input of the
OPA842.

ACTIVE FILTERS
Most active filter topologies will have exceptional
performance using the broad bandwidth and
unity-gain stability of the OPA842. Topologies
employing capacitive feedback require a unity-gain
stable, voltage-feedback op amp. Sallen-Key filters
simply use the op amp as a noninverting gain stage
inside an RC network. Either current- or
voltage-feedback op amps may be used in
Sallen-Key implementations.
See Figure 42 for an example Sallen-Key low-pass
filter, in which the OPA842 is set up to deliver a
low-frequency gain of +2. The filter component values
have been selected to achieve a maximally flat
Butterworth response with a 5MHz, –3dB bandwidth.
The resistor values have been slightly adjusted to
compensate for the effects of the 150MHz bandwidth
provided by the OPA842 in this configuration. This
filter may be combined with the ADC driver
suggestions to provide moderate (two-pole) Nyquist
filtering, limiting noise, and out-of-band harmonics
into the input of an ADC. This filter will deliver the
exceptionally low harmonic distortion required by high
SFDR ADCs such as the ADS850 (14-bit, 10MSPS,
82dB SFDR).

Computer simulation of circuit performance using
SPICE is often a quick way to analyze the
performance of the OPA842 and its circuit designs.
This is particularly true for video and RF amplifier
circuits where parasitic capacitance and inductance
can play a major role on circuit performance. A
SPICE model for the OPA842 is available through the
TI web page (www.ti.com). The applications group is
also available for design assistance. These models
predict typical small-signal ac, transient steps, dc
performance, and noise under a wide variety of
operating conditions. The models include the noise
terms found in the Electrical Characteristics of the
data sheet. These models do not attempt to
distinguish between the package types in the
small-signal ac performance.
OPERATING SUGGESTIONS
OPTIMIZING RESISTOR VALUES
Since the OPA842 is a unity-gain stable,
voltage-feedback op amp, a wide range of resistor
values may be used for the feedback and gain setting
resistors. The primary limits on these values are set
by dynamic range (noise and distortion) and parasitic
capacitance considerations. For a noninverting
unity-gain follower application, the feedback
connection should be made with a 25Ω resistor—not
a direct short. This will isolate the inverting input
capacitance from the output pin and improve the
frequency response flatness. Usually, the feedback
resistor value should be between 200Ω and 1kΩ.
Below 200Ω, the feedback network will present
additional output loading which can degrade the
harmonic distortion performance of the OPA842.
Above 1kΩ, the typical parasitic capacitance
(approximately 0.2pF) across the feedback resistor
may cause unintentional band limiting in the amplifier
response.
A good rule of thumb is to target the parallel
combination of RF and RG (see Figure 37) to be less
than about 200Ω. The combined impedance RF || RG
interacts with the inverting input capacitance, placing
an additional pole in the feedback network, and thus
a zero in the forward response. Assuming a 2pF total
parasitic on the inverting node, holding RF || RG <
200Ω will keep this pole above 400MHz. By itself, this
constraint implies that the feedback resistor RF can
increase to several kΩ at high gains. This is
acceptable as long as the pole formed by RF and any
parasitic capacitance appearing in parallel is kept out
of the frequency range of interest.
In the inverting configuration, an additional design
consideration must be noted. RG becomes the input
resistor and therefore the load impedance to the
driving source. If impedance matching is desired, RG
may be set equal to the required termination value.
However, at low inverting gains, the resultant
feedback resistor value can present a significant load
to the amplifier output. For example, an inverting gain
of 2 with a 50Ω input matching resistor (equal to RG)
would require a 100Ω feedback resistor, which would
contribute to output loading in parallel with the
external load. In such a case, it would be preferable
to increase both the RF and RG values, and then
achieve the input matching impedance with a third
resistor to ground (see Figure 38). The total input
impedance becomes the parallel combination of RG
and the additional shunt resistor.
BANDWIDTH vs GAIN
Voltage-feedback op amps exhibit decreasing
closed-loop bandwidth as the signal gain is
increased. In theory, this relationship is described by
the GBP shown in the specifications. Ideally, dividing
GBP by the noninverting signal gain (also called the
Noise Gain, or NG) will predict the closed-loop
bandwidth. In practice, this only holds true when the
phase margin approaches 90 degrees, as it does in
high-gain configurations. At low signal gains, most
amplifiers will exhibit a more complex response with
lower phase margin. The OPA842 is optimized to
give a maximally flat second-order Butterworth
response in a gain of 2. In this configuration, the
OPA842 has approximately 60 degrees of phase
margin and will show a typical –3dB bandwidth of
150MHz. When the phase margin is 60 degrees, the
closed-loop bandwidth is approximately √2 greater

than the value predicted by dividing GBP by the noise
gain. Increasing the gain will cause the phase margin
to approach 90 degrees and the bandwidth to more
closely approach the predicted value of (GBP/NG). At
a gain of +10, the 21MHz bandwidth shown in the
Electrical Characteristics agrees with that predicted
using the simple formula and the typical GBP of
200MHz.
OUTPUT DRIVE CAPABILITY
The OPA842 has been optimized to drive the
demanding load of a doubly-terminated transmission
line. When a 50Ω line is driven, a series 50Ω into the
cable and a terminating 50Ω load at the end of the
cable are used. Under these conditions, the cable
impedance will appear resistive over a wide
frequency range, and the total effective load on the
OPA842 is 100Ω in parallel with the resistance of the
feedback network. The Electrical Characteristics
show a +2.8V/–3.3V swing into this load—which will
then be reduced to a +1.4V/–1.65V swing at the
termination resistor. The ±90mA output drive over
temperature provides adequate current drive margin
for this load. Higher voltage swings (and lower
distortion) are achievable when driving higher
impedance loads.
A single video load typically appears as a 150Ω load
(using standard 75Ω cables) to the driving amplifier.
The OPA842 provides adequate voltage and current
drive to support up to three parallel video loads (50Ω
total load) for an NTSC signal. With only one load,
the OPA842 achieves an exceptionally low
0.003%/0.008° dG/dP error.
DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS
One of the most demanding, and yet very common,
load conditions for an op amp is capacitive loading. A
high-speed, high open-loop gain amplifier like the
OPA842 can be very susceptible to decreased
stability and closed-loop response peaking when a
capacitive load is placed directly on the output pin. In
simple terms, the capacitive load reacts with the
open-loop output resistance of the amplifier to
introduce an additional pole into the loop and thereby
decrease the phase margin. This issue has become a
popular topic of application notes and articles, and
several external solutions to this problem have been
suggested. When the primary considerations are
frequency response flatness, pulse response fidelity,
and/or distortion, the simplest and most effective
solution is to isolate the capacitive load from the
feedback loop by inserting a series isolation resistor
between the amplifier output and the capacitive load.
This does not eliminate the pole from the loop
response, but rather shifts it and adds a zero at a
higher frequency. The additional zero acts to cancel
the phase lag from the capacitive load pole, thus
increasing the phase margin and improving stability.
www.ti.com
The Typical Characteristics show the recommended
RS vs Capacitive Load (see Figure 15) and the
resulting frequency response at the load. The
criterion for setting the recommended resistor is
maximum bandwidth, flat frequency response at the
load. Since there is now a passive low-pass filter
between the output pin and the load capacitance, the
response at the output pin itself is typically somewhat
peaked, and becomes flat after the roll-off action of
the RC network. This is not a concern in most
applications, but can cause clipping if the desired
signal swing at the load is very close to the amplifier’s
swing limit. Such clipping would be most likely to
occur in pulse response applications where the
frequency peaking is manifested as an overshoot in
the step response.
Parasitic capacitive loads greater than 2pF can begin
to degrade the performance of the OPA842. Long
PCB traces, unmatched cables, and connections to
multiple devices can easily cause this value to be
exceeded. Always consider this effect carefully, and
add the recommended series resistor as close as
possible to the OPA842 output pin (see Board Layout
section).
DISTORTION PERFORMANCE
The OPA842 is capable of delivering an exceptionally
low distortion signal at high frequencies and low
gains. The distortion plots in the Typical
Characteristics show the typical distortion under a
wide variety of conditions. Most of these plots are
limited to 100dB dynamic range. The OPA842
distortion does not rise above –100dBc until either
the signal level exceeds 0.5V and/or the fundamental
frequency exceeds 500kHz. Distortion in the audio
band is ≤ –120dBc. Generally, until the fundamental
signal reaches very high frequencies or powers, the
second-harmonic will dominate the distortion with a
negligible third-harmonic component. Focusing then
on the second-harmonic, increasing the load
impedance improves distortion directly. Remember
that the total load includes the feedback network— in
the noninverting configuration this is the sum of
RF + RG, whereas in the inverting configuration this is
just RF (see Figure 37). Increasing the output voltage
swing increases harmonic distortion directly.
Increasing the signal gain will also increase the
second-harmonic distortion. Again, a 6dB increase in
gain will increase the second- and third-harmonics by
6dB even with a constant output power and
frequency. Finally, the distortion increases as the
fundamental frequency increases due to the roll off in
the loop gain with frequency. Conversely, the
distortion will improve going to lower frequencies
down to the dominant open-loop pole at

approximately 600Hz. Starting from the –100dBc
second-harmonic for 2VPP into 200Ω, G = +2
distortion at 1MHz (from the Typical Characteristics),
the second-harmonic distortion at 20kHz should be
approximately:
ENI
EO
OPA842
RS
IBN
–100dB – 20log (1MHz/20kHz) = –134dBc
The OPA842 has an extremely low third-order
harmonic distortion. This also gives an exceptionally
good two-tone, third-order intermodulation intercept,
as shown in the Typical Characteristics. This intercept
curve is defined at the 50Ω load when driven through
a 50Ω-matching resistor to allow direct comparisons
to RF MMIC devices. This network attenuates the
voltage swing from the output pin to the load by 6dB.
If the OPA842 drives directly into the input of a
high-impedance device, such as an ADC, this 6dB
attenuation is not taken. Under these conditions, the
intercept will increase by a minimum 6dBm. The
intercept is used to predict the intermodulation
spurious for two closely spaced frequencies. If the
two test frequencies, f1 and f2, are specified in terms
of average and delta frequency, fO = (f1 + f2)/2 and
Δf = |f2 – f1|/2, the two thirdorder, close-in spurious
tones will appear at fO ± (3 • Δf). The difference
between the two equal test-tone power levels and
these intermodulation spurious power levels is given
by 2 • (IM3 – PO), where IM3 is the intercept taken
from the Typical Characteristic curve and PO is the
power level in dBm at the 50Ω load for one of the two
closely-spaced test frequencies. For instance, at
10MHz, the OPA842 at a gain of +2 has an intercept
of 45dBm at a matched 50Ω load. If the full envelope
of the two frequencies needs to be 2VPP, this requires
each tone to be 4dBm. The third-order
intermodulation spurious tones will then be
2 • (45 – 4) = 82dBc below the test-tone power level
(–80dBm). If this same 2VPP two-tone envelope were
delivered directly into the input of an ADC without the
matching loss or loading of the 50Ω network, the
intercept would increase to at least 51dBm. With the
same signal and gain conditions driving directly into a
light load, the spurious tones will then be at least
2 • (51 – 4) = 94dBc below the 1VPP test-tone signal
levels.
NOISE PERFORMANCE
The OPA842 complements its ultralow harmonic
distortion with low input noise terms. Both the
input-referred
voltage
noise
and
the
two
input-referred current noise terms combine to give a
low output noise under a wide variety of operating
conditions. Figure 43 shows the op amp noise
analysis model with all the noise terms included. In
this model, all the noise terms are taken to be noise
voltage or current density terms in either nV/√Hz or
pA/√Hz.

The total output spot noise voltage is computed as
the square root of the squared contributing terms to
the output noise voltage. This computation is adding
all the contributing noise powers at the output by
superposition, then taking the square root to get back
to a spot noise voltage. Equation 3 shows the general

Narrow band communications systems are more
commonly concerned with the noise figure for the

expression (see Equation 4), may be used to
calculate the noise figure. Equation 5 shows this
noise figure expression using the NG of Equation 4

DC OFFSET CONTROL
The OPA842 can provide excellent dc signal
accuracy due to its high open-loop gain, high
common-mode rejection, high power-supply rejection,
and low input offset voltage and bias current offset
errors. To take full advantage of this low input offset
voltage, careful attention to input bias current
cancellation is also required. The high-speed input
stage for the OPA842 has a relatively high input bias
current (20mA typ into the pins) but with a very close
match between the two input currents—typically
0.35mA input offset current. The total output offset
voltage may be considerably reduced by matching
the source impedances looking out of the two inputs.
For example, one way to add bias current
cancellation to the circuit of Figure 37 would be to
insert a 175Ω series resistor into the noninverting
input from the 50Ω terminating resistor. When the
50Ω source resistor is dc-coupled, this will increase
the source impedance for the noninverting input bias
current to 200Ω. Since this is now equal to the
impedance looking out of the inverting input
(RF || RG), the circuit will cancel the gains for the bias
currents to the output leaving only the offset current
times the feedback resistor as a residual dc error
term at the output. Using a 402Ω feedback resistor,
this output error will now be less than
1mA • 402Ω = 0.4mV at +25°C.
THERMAL ANALYSIS
The OPA842 will not require heat sinking or airflow in
most applications. Maximum desired junction
temperature would set the maximum allowed internal
power dissipation as described below. In no case
should the maximum junction temperature be allowed
to exceed +175°C.
Operating junction temperature (TJ) is given by
TA + PD • qJA. The total internal power dissipation (PD)
is the sum of quiescent power (PDQ) and additional
power dissipated in the output stage (PDL) to deliver
load power. Quiescent power is simply the specified
no-load supply current times the total supply voltage
across the part. PDL will depend on the required
output signal and load but would, for a grounded
resistive load, be at a maximum when the output is
fixed at a voltage equal to 1/2 of either supply voltage
(for equal bipolar supplies). Under this worst-case
condition, PDL = VS2/(4 • RL), where RL includes
feedback network loading.
Note that it is the power in the output stage and not in
the load that determines internal power dissipation.
As a worst-case example, compute the maximum TJ
using an OPA842IDBV (SOT23-5 package) in the
circuit of Figure 37 operating at the maximum
specified ambient temperature of +85°C.

BOARD LAYOUT
Achieving
optimum
performance
with
a
high-frequency amplifier such as the OPA842
requires careful attention to board layout parasitics
and external component types. Recommendations
that will optimize performance include:
a) Minimize parasitic capacitance to any ac
ground for all of the signal I/O pins. Parasitic
capacitance on the output and inverting input pins
can cause instability: on the noninverting input, it can
react with the source impedance to cause
unintentional bandlimiting. To reduce unwanted
capacitance, a window around the signal I/O pins
should be opened in all of the ground and power
planes around those pins. Otherwise, ground and
power planes should be unbroken elsewhere on the
board.
b) Minimize the distance (< 0.25in., or 0.635cm)
from the power-supply pins to high-frequency
0.1mF decoupling capacitors. At the device pins,
the ground and power-plane layout should not be in
close proximity to the signal I/O pins. Avoid narrow
power and ground traces to minimize inductance
between the pins and the decoupling capacitors. The
power-supply connections should always be
decoupled with these capacitors. Larger (2.2mF to
6.8mF) decoupling capacitors, effective at lower
frequency, should also be used on the main supply
pins. These may be placed somewhat farther from
the device and may be shared among several
devices in the same area of the PCB.
c) Careful selection and placement of external
components will preserve the high-frequency
performance of the OPA842. Resistors should be a
very low reactance type. Surface-mount resistors
work best and allow a tighter overall layout. Metal-film
and carbon composition, axially leaded resistors can
also provide good high-frequency performance.
Again, keep the leads and PCB trace length as short
as possible. Never use wire-wound type resistors in a
highfrequency application. Since the output pin and
inverting input pin are the most sensitive to parasitic
capacitance, always position the feedback and series
output resistor, if any, as close as possible to the
output pin. Other network components, such as
noninverting input termination resistors, should also
be placed close to the package. Where double-side
component mounting is allowed, place the feedback
resistor directly under the package on the other side
of the board between the output and inverting input
pins. Even with a low parasitic capacitance shunting
the external resistors, excessively high resistor values

can create significant time constants that can
degrade performance. Good axial metal-film or
surface-mount resistors have approximately 0.2pF in
shunt with the resistor. For resistor values greater
than 1.5kΩ, this parasitic capacitance can add a pole
and/or a zero below 500MHz that can affect circuit
operation. Keep resistor values as low as possible
consistent with load-driving considerations. It has
been suggested here that a good starting point for
design would be to set RG || RF ≤ 200Ω. Doing this
will automatically keep the resistor noise terms low,
and minimize the effect of the parasitic capacitance.
d) Connections to other wideband devices on the
board may be made with short, direct traces or
through onboard transmission lines. For short
connections, consider the trace and the input to the
next device as a lumped capacitive load. Relatively
wide traces (50mils to 100mils) should be used,
preferably with ground and power planes opened up
around them. Estimate the total capacitive load and
set RS from the plot of Recommended RS vs
Capacitive Load (Figure 15). Low parasitic capacitive
loads (less than 5pF) may not need an RS since the
OPA842 is nominally compensated to operate with a
2pF parasitic load. Higher parasitic capacitive loads
without an RS are allowed as the signal gain
increases (increasing the unloaded phase margin). If
a long trace is required, and the 6dB signal loss
intrinsic to a doubly-terminated transmission line is
acceptable, implement a matched impedance
transmission line using microstrip or stripline
techniques (consult an ECL design handbook for
microstrip and stripline layout techniques). A 50Ω
environment is normally not necessary on board, and
in fact, a higher impedance environment will improve
distortion as shown in the distortion versus load plots.
With a characteristic board trace impedance defined
based on board material and trace dimensions, a
matching series resistor into the trace from the output
of the OPA842 is used as well as a terminating shunt
resistor at the input of the destination device.
Remember also that the terminating impedance will
be the parallel combination of the shunt resistor and
input impedance of the destination device; this total
effective impedance should be set to match the trace
impedance. If the 6dB attenuation of a doublyterminated transmission line is unacceptable, a long
trace can be series terminated at the source end
only. Treat the trace as a capacitive load in this case
and set the series resistor value as shown in the plot
of RS vs Capacitive Load. This will not preserve
signal integrity as well as a doubly-terminated line. If
the input impedance of the destination device is low,
there will be some signal attenuation due to the
voltage divider formed by the series output into the
terminating impedance.
e) Socketing a high-speed part like the OPA842 is
not recommended. The additional lead length and
pin-to-pin capacitance introduced by the socket can
create an extremely troublesome parasitic network,
which can make it almost impossible to achieve a
smooth, stable frequency response. Best results are
obtained by soldering the OPA842 onto the board.
INPUT AND ESD PROTECTION
The OPA842 is built using a very high speed
complementary bipolar process. The internal junction
breakdown voltages are relatively low for these very
small geometry devices. These breakdowns are
reflected in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. All
device pins have limited ESD protection using internal
diodes to the power supplies, as shown in Figure 44.
+VCC
External
Pin
-VCC
Figure 44. Internal ESD Protection
These diodes provide moderate protection to input
overdrive voltages above the supplies as well. The
protection diodes can typically support 30mA
continuous current. Where higher currents are
possible (for example, in systems with ±15V supply
parts driving into the OPA842), current-limiting series
resistors should be added into the two inputs. Keep
these resistor values as low as possible since high
values degrade both noise performance and
frequency response. Figure 45 shows an example
protection circuit for I/O voltages that may exceed the
supplies.

third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
