Component Descriptions. R1 and R7 set the I/O impedance, R2 - R6 set the gain, and C1 - C5 are supply bypass capacitors. C3 is optional; it adds a bypass between the supplies which improves distortion performance for some models. L1 and L2 are ferrite chips that can reduce interactions with the power supply at high frequencies. If not desired, they can be replaced with 0Ω resistors. R8 - R13, C6 and C7 are optional components that support op amps with special functions (see Table I).

To select component values for your op amp, consult its data sheet. OPA628P and OPA64xP—These op amps have additional supply pins (see Table I) to improve distortion. Use the values in Table IV, except for the changes shown in Table V (the OPA64xP family will function without these changes, but with reduced distortion performance).

The I/O impedances are 50Ω. For single-supply operation, do not connect L2; otherwise, the –VS input to P1 would be at ground potential. COMPONENT COMPONENT 2 BOARD LAYOUT This demonstration board is a two-layer PCB. It uses a ground plane on the bottom and signal and power traces on the top. The ground plane has been opened up around op amp pins sensitive to capacitive loading. Power supply traces are laid out to keep current loop areas to a minimum. The SMA (or SMB) connectors may be mounted either vertically or horizontally. OPA688P—This VLA™ (Voltage Limiting Amplifier) has two inputs (VH and VL in Table I), which limit the output voltage swing. Table VIII shows different ways to set up pin 5 and pin 8’s voltages using R8 - R13 and C5 - C7. Use Table IV for the other components. Note that this board would require modification for the single supply circuit shown in the OPA688 data sheet. In dual supply applications, using R10 instead of R8 makes VH negative, and using R13 instead of R11 makes VL positive.

The tantalum capacitors, C1 and C2, do not need to be as close to pins 7 and 4 on your PCB, and may be shared with other amplifiers. See the individual op amp data sheet for more information on proper board layout techniques and component selection. MEASUREMENT TIPS This demonstration board, and the component values shown, are designed to operate in a 50Ω environment. Most data sheet plots are obtained this way. Change the component values for different input and output impedance levels. TABLE VIII. Limiting Pins—OPA68xP. OPA689P—This VLA™ (Voltage Limiting Amplifier) is the high gain-stable version of the OPA688P. Set up this op amp the same as the OPA688P, except for the changes shown in Table IX.

Instead, use low impedance (≤ 500Ω) probes with adequate bandwidth. The probe input capacitance and resistance set an upper limit on the measurement bandwidth. If a high impedance probe must be used, place a 100Ω resistor on the probe tip to isolate its capacitance from the circuit. TABLE IX. OPA689P Changes. ® 3 DEM-OPA68xP (a) (b) FIGURE 3.
