DESCRIPTION
SINGLE SUPPLY ADC INPUT BUFFER
SINGLE SUPPLY VIDEO LINE DRIVER
WIRELESS LAN IF AMPLIFIER
CCD IMAGING CHANNELS
LOW POWER ULTRASOUND
A low 5.6nV input voltage noise supports wide dynamic
range operation. Multiplexing or system power reduction can be achieved using the high-speed disable line
with the OPA635. Power dissipation can be reduced to
zero by taking the disable line High.
The OPA634 and OPA635 are available in an industry
standard SO-8 package. The OPA634 is also available in
an ultra-small SOT23-5 package, while the OPA635 is
available in the SOT23-6. Where lower supply current
and speed are required, consider the OPA631 and
OPA632.
The OPA634 and OPA635 are low power, voltagefeedback, high-speed amplifiers designed to operate on
+3V or +5V single-supply voltages. Operation on ±5V
or +10V supplies is also supported. The input range
extends below ground and to within 1.2V of the positive
supply. Using complementary common-emitter outputs
provides an output swing to within 30mV of ground and
140mV of positive supply. The high output drive current, low differential gain and phase errors make them
ideal for single-supply composite video line driving.
Low distortion operation is ensured by the high gain
bandwidth (140MHz) and slew rate (250V/µs). This
makes the OPA634 and OPA635 ideal input buffer
stages to 3V and 5V CMOS converters. Unlike other low
power, single-supply operational amplifiers, distortion
performance improves as the signal swing is decreased.

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.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
WIDEBAND VOLTAGE FEEDBACK OPERATION
The OPA634 and OPA635 are unity-gain stable, very high
speed voltage feedback op amps designed for single supply
operation (+3V to +5V). The input stage supports input
voltages below ground, and within 1.2V of the positive
supply. The complementary common-emitter output stage
provides an output swing to within 30mV of ground and
140mV of the positive supply. They are compensated to
provide stable operation with a wide range of resistive loads.
The OPA635’s internal disable circuitry is designed to
minimize supply current when disabled.

SINGLE SUPPLY ADC CONVERTER INTERFACE
The front page shows a DC-coupled, single supply ADC
driver circuit. Many systems are now requiring +3V supply
capability of both the ADC and its driver. The OPA635
provides excellent performance in this demanding application. Its large input and output voltage ranges, and low
distortion, support converters such as the ADS900 shown in
this figure. The input level-shifting circuitry was designed
so that VIN can be between 0V and 0.5V, while delivering an
output voltage of 1V to 2V for the ADS900. Both the
OPA635 and ADS900 have power reduction pins with the
same polarity for those systems that need to conserve power.

Curves. For test purposes, the input impedance is set to 50Ω
with a resistor to ground. Voltage swings reported in the
Specifications are taken directly at the input and output pins.
For the circuit of Figure 1, the total effective load on the
output at high frequencies is 150Ω || 1500Ω. The disable pin
needs to be driven by a low impedance source, such as a
CMOS inverter. The 1.50kΩ resistors at the non-inverting
input provide the common-mode bias voltage. Their parallel
combination equals the DC resistance at the inverting input,
minimizing the DC offset.

A unity gain buffer can be designed by selecting RT = RF =
20.0Ω and RC = 40.2Ω (do not use RG ). This gives a Noise
Gain of 2, so its response will be similar to the Characteristics Plots with G = +2. Decreasing RC to 20.0Ω will increase
the Noise Gain to 3, which typically gives a flat frequency
response, but with less bandwidth.

Two PC boards are available to assist in the initial evaluation

below:
FIGURE 3. DC Level-Shifting Circuit.
The front page circuit is a good example of this type of
application. It was designed to take VIN between 0V and
0.5V, and produce VOUT between 1V and 2V, when using a
+3V supply. This means G = 2.00, and ∆VOUT = 1.50V – G

A good rule of thumb is to target the parallel combination of
RF and RG (Figure 1) to be less than approximately 400Ω.
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 3pF total parasitic on the inverting node, holding RF || RG <400Ω will keep this pole above 130MHz. By
The Noise Gain can be calculated as follows:

Since the OPA634 and OPA635 are voltage feedback op
amps, 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 non-inverting
unity gain follower application, the feedback connection
should be made with a 25Ω resistor, not a direct short (see
Figure 4). This will isolate the inverting input capacitance
from the output pin and improve the frequency response
flatness. Usually, for G > 1 application, the feedback resistor
value should be between 200Ω and 1.5kΩ. Below 200Ω, the
feedback network will present additional output loading
which can degrade the harmonic distortion performance.
Above 1.5kΩ, the typical parasitic capacitance (approximately 0.2pF) across the feedback resistor may cause unintentional band-limiting in the amplifier response.

Figure 4 shows a non-inverting amplifier that reduces peaking at low gains. The resistor RC compensates the OPA634
or OPA635 to have higher Noise Gain (NG), which reduces
the AC response peaking (typically 5dB at G = +1 without
RC) without changing the DC gain. VIN needs to be a low
impedance source, such as an op amp. The resistor values
are low to reduce noise. Using both RT and RF helps
minimize the impact of parasitic impedances.

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

BANDWIDTH VS GAIN: NON-INVERTING OPERATION

Voltage feedback op amps exhibit decreasing closed-loop
bandwidth as the signal gain is increased. In theory, this
relationship is described by the Gain Bandwidth Product
(GBP) shown in the specifications. Ideally, dividing GBP by
the non-inverting 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°, as it
does in high gain configurations. At low gains (increased
feedback factors), most amplifiers will exhibit a more complex response with lower phase margin. The OPA634 and
OPA635 are compensated to give a slightly peaked response
in a non-inverting gain of 2 (Figure 1). This results in a
typical gain of +2 bandwidth of 150MHz, far exceeding that
predicted by dividing the 140MHz GBP by 2. Increasing the
gain will cause the phase margin to approach 90° and the
bandwidth to more closely approach the predicted value of
(GBP/NG). At a gain of +10, the 16MHz bandwidth shown
in the Typical Specifications is close to that predicted using
the simple formula and the typical GBP.

50Ω for input matching eliminates the need for RM but
requires a 100Ω feedback resistor. This has the interesting
advantage that the noise gain becomes equal to 2 for a 50Ω
source impedance—the same as the non-inverting circuits
considered above. However, the amplifier output will now
see the 100Ω feedback resistor in parallel with the external
load. In general, the feedback resistor should be limited to
the 200Ω to 1.5kΩ range. In this case, it is preferable to
increase both the RF and RG values as shown in Figure 5, and
then achieve the input matching impedance with a third
resistor (RM) to ground. The total input impedance becomes
the parallel combination of RG and RM.
The OPA634 and OPA635 exhibit minimal bandwidth reduction going to +3V single supply operation as compared
with +5V supply. This is because the internal bias control
circuitry retains nearly constant quiescent current as the total
supply voltage between the supply pins is changed.
INVERTING AMPLIFIER OPERATION
Since the OPA634 and OPA635 are general purpose,
wideband voltage feedback op amps, all of the familiar op
amp application circuits are available to the designer. Figure
5 shows a typical inverting configuration where the I/O
impedances and signal gain from Figure 1 are retained in an
inverting circuit configuration. Inverting operation is one of
the more common requirements and offers several performance benefits. The inverting configuration shows improved
slew rate and distortion. It also allows the input to be biased
at VS/2 without any headroom issues. The output voltage can
be independently moved to be within the output voltage
range with coupling capacitors, or bias adjustment resistors.
The second major consideration, touched on in the previous
paragraph, is that the signal source impedance becomes
part of the noise gain equation and hence influences the
bandwidth. For the example in Figure 5, the RM value
combines in parallel with the external 50Ω source impedance, yielding an effective driving impedance of 50Ω ||
576Ω = 26.8Ω. This impedance is added in series with RG
for calculating the noise gain. The resultant is 2.87 for
Figure 5, as opposed to only 2 if RM could be eliminated as
discussed above. The bandwidth will therefore be lower for
the gain of –2 circuit of Figure 5 (NG = +3) than for the
gain of +2 circuit of Figure 1.
In the inverting configuration, three key design consideration must be noted. The first is that the gain resistor (RG)
becomes part of the signal channel input impedance. If input
impedance matching is desired (which is beneficial whenever the signal is coupled through a cable, twisted pair, long
PC board trace or other transmission line conductor), RG
may be set equal to the required termination value and RF
adjusted to give the desired gain. This is the simplest
approach and results in optimum bandwidth and noise performance. However, at low inverting gains, the resultant
feedback resistor value can present a significant load to the
amplifier output. For an inverting gain of 2, setting RG to
The third important consideration in inverting amplifier
design is setting the bias current cancellation resistors on the
non-inverting input (a parallel combination of RT = 263Ω).
If this resistor is set equal to the total DC resistance looking
out of the inverting node, the output DC error, due to the
input bias currents, will be reduced to (Input Offset Current)
• RF. If the 50Ω source impedance is DC-coupled in Figure
5, the total resistance to ground between the inverting input
and the source will be 401Ω. Combining this in parallel with
the feedback resistor gives the RT = 263Ω used in this
®

OPA634, OPA635
example. To reduce the additional high frequency noise
introduced by this resistor, and power supply feedthrough,
RT is bypassed with a capacitor. As long as RT < 400Ω, its
noise contribution will be minimal. As a minimum, the
OPA634 and OPA635 require an RT value of 50Ω to damp
out parasitic-induced peaking—a direct short to ground on
the non-inverting input runs the risk of a very high frequency
instability in the input stage.
The Typical Performance Curves show the recommended
RS versus capacitive load and the resulting frequency response at the load. Parasitic capacitive loads greater than
2pF can begin to degrade the performance of the OPA634
and OPA635. Long PC board traces, unmatched cables, and
connections to multiple devices can easily exceed this value.
Always consider this effect carefully, and add the recommended series resistor as close as possible to the output pin
(see Board Layout Guidelines).
OUTPUT CURRENT AND VOLTAGE
The criterion for setting this RS resistor is a maximum
bandwidth, flat frequency response at the load. For a gain of
+2, the frequency response at the output pin is already
slightly peaked without the capacitive load, requiring relatively high values of RS to flatten the response at the load.
Increasing the noise gain will also reduce the peaking (see
Figure 4).
The OPA634 and OPA635 provide outstanding output voltage capability. Under no-load conditions at +25°C, the
output voltage typically swings closer than 140mV to either
supply rail; the guaranteed swing limit is within 450mV of
either rail (VS = +5V).
The minimum specified output voltage and current specifications over temperature are set by worst-case simulations at
the cold temperature extreme. Only at cold start-up will the
output current and voltage decrease to the numbers shown in
the guaranteed tables. As the output transistors deliver power,
their junction temperatures will increase, decreasing their
VBE’s (increasing the available output voltage swing) and
increasing their current gains (increasing the available output current). In steady-state operation, the available output
voltage and current will always be greater than that shown
in the over-temperature specifications since the output stage
junction temperatures will be higher than the minimum
specified operating ambient.
DISTORTION PERFORMANCE
The OPA634 and OPA635 provide good distortion performance into a 150Ω load. Relative to alternative solutions, it
provides exceptional performance into lighter loads and/or
operating on a single +3V supply. Generally, until the
fundamental signal reaches very high frequency or power
levels, the 2nd harmonic will dominate the distortion with a
negligible 3rd harmonic component. Focusing then on the
2nd harmonic, increasing the load impedance improves
distortion directly. Remember that the total load includes
the feedback network; in the non-inverting configuration
(Figure 1) this is sum of RF + RG, while in the inverting
configuration, it is just RF.
To maintain maximum output stage linearity, no output
short-circuit protection is provided. This will not normally
be a problem since most applications include a series matching resistor at the output that will limit the internal power
dissipation if the output side of this resistor is shorted to
ground. However, shorting the output pin directly to the
adjacent positive power supply pin (8-pin packages) will, in
most cases, destroy the amplifier. If additional short-circuit
protection is required, consider a small series resistor in the
power supply leads. This will, under heavy output loads,
reduce the available output voltage swing.
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 5.6nV/√Hz input voltage noise for
the OPA634 and OPA635 is, however, much lower than
comparable amplifiers. The input-referred voltage noise,
and the two input-referred current noise terms (2.8pA/√Hz),
combine to give low output noise under a wide variety of
operating conditions. Figure 6 shows the op amp noise
analysis model with all the noise terms included. In this
DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS
One of the most demanding and yet very common load
conditions for an op amp is capacitive loading. Often, the
capacitive load is the input of an A/D converter—including
additional external capacitance which may be recommended
to improve A/D linearity. A high speed, high open-loop gain
amplifier like the OPA634 and OPA635 can be very susceptible to decreased stability and closed-loop response peaking
when a capacitive load is placed directly on the output pin.
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.

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 non-inverting, 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 non-inverting
input may be considered. Bring the DC offsetting current
into the inverting input node through resistor values that are
much larger than the signal path resistors. This will insure
that the adjustment circuit has minimal effect on the loop
gain and hence the frequency response.
The total output spot noise voltage can be computed as the
square root of the sum of all squared output noise voltage
contributors. Equation 1 shows the general form for the
output noise voltage using the terms shown in Figure 6.

Dividing this expression by the noise gain (NG = (1+RF /RG))
will give the equivalent input-referred spot noise voltage at
the non-inverting input, as shown in Equation 2.
DISABLE OPERATION
The OPA635 provides an optional disable feature that may
be used either to reduce system power or to implement a
simple channel multiplexing operation. To disable, the control pin must be asserted HIGH. Figure 7 shows a simplified
internal circuit for the disable control feature.

In normal operation, base current to Q1 is provided through
the 50kΩ resistor.
Evaluating these two equations for the circuit and component values shown in Figure 1 will give a total output spot
noise voltage of 12.5nV/√Hz and a total equivalent input
spot noise voltage of 6.3nV/√Hz. This is including the noise
added by the resistors. This total input-referred spot noise
voltage is not much higher than the 5.6nV/√Hz specification
for the op amp voltage noise alone. This will be the case as
long as the impedances appearing at each op amp input are
limited to the previously recommend maximum value of
400Ω, and the input attenuation is low. Since the resistorinduced noise is relatively negligible, additional capacitive
decoupling across the bias current cancellation resistor (RT)
for the inverting op amp configuration of Figure 5 is not
required.

DC ACCURACY AND OFFSET CONTROL
The balanced input stage of a wideband voltage feedback op
amp allows good output DC accuracy in a wide variety of
applications. The power supply current trim for the OPA634
and OPA635 gives even tighter control than comparable
products. Although the high speed input stage does require
relatively high input bias current (typically 25µA out of each
input terminal), the close matching between them may be
used to reduce the output DC error caused by this current.
This is done by matching the DC source resistances appearing at the two inputs. Evaluating the configuration of Figure
1 (which has matched DC input resistances), using worstcase +25°C input offset voltage and current specifications,
gives a worst-case output offset voltage equal to: (NG = noninverting signal gain at DC)

One key parameter in disable operation is the output glitch
when switching in and out of the disabled mode.
The transition edge rate (dv/dt) of the DIS control line will
influence this glitch. Adding a simple RC filter into the DIS
pin from a higher speed logic line will reduce the glitch. If
extremely fast transition logic is used, a 1kΩ series resistor
will provide adequate bandlimiting using just the parasitic
input capacitance on the DIS pin while still ensuring adequate logic level swing.

THERMAL ANALYSIS
Maximum desired junction temperature will set the maximum allowed internal power dissipation as described below.
In no case should the maximum junction temperature be
allowed to exceed 175°C.
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 are based on adding a DC

Operating junction temperature (TJ) is given by TA + PD•θJA.
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 resistive load
connected to mid-supply (VS/2), be at a maximum when the
output is fixed at a voltage equal to VS/4 or 3VS/4. Under this
condition, PDL = VS2/(16 • RL), where RL includes feedback
network loading.
placed somewhat farther from the device and may be shared
among several devices in the same area of the PC board.
c) Careful selection and placement of external components will preserve the high frequency performance.
Resistors should be a very low reactance type. Surfacemount resistors work best and allow a tighter overall layout.
Metal film or carbon composition axially-leaded resistors
can also provide good high frequency performance. Again,
keep their leads and PC board traces as short as possible.
Never use wirewound type resistors in a high frequency
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 non-inverting 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 surfacemount resistors have approximately 0.2pF in shunt with the
resistor. For resistor values >1.5kΩ, this parasitic capacitance can add a pole and/or zero below 500MHz that can
effect circuit operation. Keep resistor values as low as
possible consistent with load driving considerations. The
750Ω feedback used in the typical performance specifications is a good starting point for design. See Figure 4 for the
unity gain follower application.
Note that it is the power in the output stage and not into the
load that determines internal power dissipation.
As a worst-case example, compute the maximum TJ using an
OPA635 (SOT23-6 package) in the circuit of Figure 1
operating at the maximum specified ambient temperature of
+85°C and driving a 150Ω load at mid-supply.
PD = 10V • 13.25mA + 52/(16 • (150Ω || 1500Ω)) = 144mW
Maximum TJ = +85°C + (0.14W • 150°C/W) = 107°C.
Although this is still well below the specified maximum
junction temperature, system reliability considerations may
require lower guaranteed junction temperatures. The highest
possible internal dissipation will occur if the load requires
current to be forced into the output at high output voltages
or sourced from the output at low output voltages. This puts
a high current through a large internal voltage drop in the
output transistors.
BOARD LAYOUT GUIDELINES
d) Connections to other wideband devices on the board
may be made with short direct traces or through on-board
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. Low parasitic
capacitive loads (<5pF) may not need an RS since the
OPA634 and OPA635 are 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 OPA634 and OPA635 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 the input impedance of the destination device;
Achieving optimum performance with a high frequency
amplifier like the OPA634 and OPA635 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 (<0.25") from the power supply
pins to high frequency 0.1µF 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. An optional supply decoupling capacitor (0.1µF) across
the two power supplies (for bipolar operation) will improve
2nd harmonic distortion performance. Larger (2.2µF to
6.8µF) decoupling capacitors, effective at lower frequency,
should also be used on the main supply pins. These may be

INPUT AND ESD PROTECTION
this total effective impedance should be set to match the
trace impedance. If the 6dB attenuation of a doubly terminated 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 Recommended 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.
The OPA634 and OPA635 are 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 are protected with internal ESD protection diodes to the power
supplies as shown in Figure 8.
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 (e.g., in systems with ±15V supply
parts driving into the OPA634 and OPA635), 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.
e) Socketing a high speed part 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 OPA634 and OPA635 onto the board. If
socketing for the DIP package is desired, high frequency
flush mount pins (e.g., McKenzie Technology #710C) can
give good results.
