DESCRIPTION
The OPA846 combines very high gain bandwidth and large
signal performance with very low input voltage noise, while
dissipating a low 12.6mA supply current. The classical differential input stage, along with two stages of forward gain and
a high power output stage, combine to make the OPA846 an
exceptionally low distortion amplifier with excellent DC accuracy and output drive. The voltage-feedback architecture
allows all standard op amp applications to be implemented
with very high performance.
The combination of low input voltage and current noise,
along with a 1.75GHz gain bandwidth product, make the
OPA846 an ideal amplifier for wideband transimpedance
stages. As a voltage gain stage, the OPA846 is optimized for
a flat response at a gain of +10 and is stable down to a gain
of +7.
+5V
A new external compensation technique can be used to give
a very flat frequency response below the minimum stable
gain for the OPA846, further improving its already exceptional distortion performance. Using this compensation makes
the OPA846 one of the premier 12- to 16-bit Analog-to-Digital
(A/D) converter input drivers. The supply current for the
OPA846 is precisely trimmed to 12.6mA at +25°C. This,
along with carefully defined supply current tempco in the
input and output stages, combine to provide exceptional
performance over the full specified temperature range.

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.
NOTE: (1) Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage.
Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods may degrade
device reliability. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions beyond those specified is not implied.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
WIDEBAND, NONINVERTING OPERATION
The OPA846 provides a unique combination of features. Low
input voltage noise, along with a very low distortion output
stage, gives one of the highest dynamic range op amps
available. The very high Gain Bandwidth Product (GBP) can
be used either to deliver high signal bandwidths at high gain,
or to deliver very low distortion signals at moderate frequencies and lower gains. To achieve the full performance of the
OPA846, careful attention to PC board layout and component selection is required, as discussed in the following
sections of this data sheet.
Figure 1 shows the noninverting gain of a 10V/V circuit used
as the basis of the Electrical Characteristics and most of the
Typical Characteristic curves. Most of the curves are characterized using signal sources with a 50Ω driving impedance,
and with a 50Ω load impedance presented by the measurement equipment. In Figure 1, the 50Ω resistor at the VIN
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, the data sheet voltage swing specifications are at
the output pin (VO in Figure 1), while the output power (dBm)
specifications are at the matched 50Ω load. The total 100Ω
load at the output, combined with the 503Ω total feedback
network load, presents the OPA846 with an effective output
load of 83Ω for the circuit of Figure 1.
guideline ensures that the noise added at the output due to
the Johnson noise of the resistors does not significantly
increase the total noise over that due to the 1.2nV/√Hz input
voltage noise for the op amp. Higher resistor values can
certainly be used where the application requires it, but can
start to add significantly to the output noise power as described in the Setting Resistor Values to Minimize Noise
section.
WIDEBAND INVERTING GAIN OPERATION
Operating the OPA846 as an inverting amplifier has several
benefits and is particularly appropriate when a matched input
impedance is required. Figure 2 shows the inverting gain
circuit used as the basis of the inverting mode of the Typical
Characteristic curves.

set to 50Ω and RF adjusted to get the desired gain. Using this

Driving this circuit from a 50Ω source, and constraining the
gain resistor (RG) to equal 50Ω, gives both a signal bandwidth and noise advantage. RG acts as both the input
termination resistor and the gain setting resistor for the
circuit. Although the signal gain (VO/VI) for the circuit of
Figure 2 is double that for Figure 1, the noise gains are in fact
equal when the 50Ω source resistor is included. This has the
interesting effect of doubling the equivalent GBP of the
amplifier. This can be seen by observing the 200MHz bandwidth for the inverting gain of –20. This implies a GBP of
4GHz, when in fact this extended bandwidth is given by the
reduced noise gain when the matched source resistor is
included. If the signal source is actually the low impedance
output of another amplifier, RG is increased to the minimum
load resistance value allowed for that amplifier and RF is then
adjusted to achieve the desired gain. For stable operation of
the OPA846, it is critical that this driving amplifier show very
low output impedance at frequencies beyond the expected
closed-loop bandwidth for the OPA846.

WIDEBAND, HIGH-SENSITIVITY
TRANSIMPEDANCE DESIGN
The high GBP and low input voltage and current noise for the
OPA846 make it an ideal wideband transimpedance amplifier. Very high transimpedance gains (> 100kΩ) benefit from
the low input noise current of a JFET-input op amp, such as
the OPA657. Unity-gain stability in the op amp is not required
for application as a transimpedance amplifier. One transimpedance design example is shown on the front page of this
data sheet. Designs that require high bandwidths from a
large area (high capacitance) detector with relatively low
transimpedance gain will benefit from the low input voltage
noise offered by the OPA846. This input voltage noise is
peaked up over frequency at the output by the diode source
capacitance, and can, in many cases, become the limiting
factor to input sensitivity. The key elements of the design are
the expected diode capacitance (CD) with the reverse bias
voltage (–VB) applied, the desired transimpedance gain (RF),
and the GBP of the OPA846 (1750MHz). Figure 3 shows a
design using a 50pF detector diode capacitance and a 10kΩ
transimpedance gain. With these three variables set (including the parasitic input capacitance for the OPA846 added to
CD) the feedback capacitor (CF) value can be set to control
the frequency response. To achieve a maximally flat 2ndorder Butterworth frequency response, set the feedback pole
as shown in Equation 1.

Evaluating this expression up to the feedback pole frequency
at 16.1MHz for the circuit of Figure 3 gives an equivalent
input noise current of 4.9pA/√Hz. This is much higher than
the 2.8pA/√Hz for just the op amp. This result is dominated
by the last term in the equivalent input noise current calculation from Equation 3. It is essential in this case to use a lowvoltage noise op amp. For example, if a slightly higher input
noise voltage, but otherwise identical op amp, was used
instead of the OPA846 amplifier in this application noise
amplifier (say 2.0nV/√Hz), the total input-referred current
noise would increase to 7.0pA/√Hz.

Figure 3, with a 10kΩ transimpedance gain using the 1750MHz

This requires a 1pF total feedback capacitance. Typical surface-mount resistors have 0.2pF parasitic capacitance leaving
a required extrinsic 0.8pF value, as shown in Figure 3.

Improved output DC precision and drift is possible, particularly at higher transimpedance gains, using the JFET input of
the OPA657. The JFET input removes the input bias current
from the error equation (eliminating the need for the resistor
to ground on the noninverting input), leaving only the input
offset voltage and drift as an output error term.
Included in the characteristic curves are transimpedance
frequency response curves for a fixed 10kΩ gain over various detector diode capacitance settings. These curves, along
with the test circuit, are repeated in Figure 4. As the photo-

The output DC error for the circuit of Figure 3 is minimized by
including the 10kΩ to ground on the noninverting input. This
reduces the impact at the output of input bias current errors
to the offset current times the feedback resistor. To minimize
the output noise contribution of this resistor, a 0.01µF capacitor is included in parallel. Worst-case output DC error for the

LOW-GAIN COMPENSATION FOR IMPROVED SFDR
Where a low gain is desired, and inverting operation is
acceptable, a new external compensation technique may be
used to retain the full slew rate and noise benefits of the
OPA846, while giving increased loop gain and the associated improvement in distortion offered by the decompensated architecture. This technique shapes the loop gain for
good stability, while giving an easily controlled 2nd-order
low-pass frequency response. Considering only the noise
gain (noninverting signal gain) for the circuit of Figure 5, the
low-frequency noise gain (NG1) is set by the resistor ratios,
while the high-frequency noise gain (NG2) is set by the
capacitor ratios. The capacitor values set both the transition
frequencies and the high-frequency noise gain. If this noise
gain (determined by NG2 = 1 + CS/CF) is set to a value
greater than the recommended minimum stable gain for the
op amp and the noise gain pole (set by 1/RFCF) is placed
correctly, a very well controlled, 2nd-order, low-pass frequency response results.
To choose the values for both CS and CF, two parameters and
only three equations need to be solved. The first parameter is
the target high-frequency noise gain (NG2), which should be
greater than the minimum stable gain for the OPA846. Here,
a target NG2 of 10.5 is used. The second parameter is the
desired low-frequency signal gain –(RF/RG), which also sets
the low-frequency noise gain NG1 (= 1 + RF/RG). To simplify
this discussion, target a maximally flat 2nd-order, low-pass
Butterworth frequency response (Q = 0.707). The signal gain
of –2 shown in Figure 5 sets the low-frequency noise gain to
NG1 = 1 + RF/RG (= 3 in this example). Then, using only these
two gains and the GBP for the OPA846 (1750MHz), the key
frequency in the compensation can be determined as:

(4)
and is the frequency at which the rising portion of the noise
gain would intersect the unity gain if projected back to a 0dB
gain. The actual zero in the noise gain occurs at NG1 • ZO,
and the pole in the noise gain occurs at NG2 • ZO. Since GBP
is expressed in Hz, multiply ZO by 2π, and use this to get CF
by solving:
CF =
1
(= 2.86pF)
2πRF ZO NG2
(5)
Finally, since CS and CF set the high-frequency noise gain,
determine CS by using NG2 = 10.5:
CS = (NG2 − 1)CF , which gives CS = 24.9pF
(6)
The resulting closed-loop bandwidth is approximately equal to:
f −3dB ≅ ZO • GBP
(7)
For the values of Figure 5, f–3dB is approximately 142MHz.
This is less than that predicted by dividing the GBP product by
NG1. The compensation network controls the bandwidth to a
lower value, while providing the full slew rate at the output and
an exceptional distortion performance due to increased loop
gain at frequencies below NG1 • ZO. The capacitor values
shown in Figure 5 are calculated for NG1 = 3 and NG2 = 10.5
with no adjustment for parasitic components.
See Figure 6 for the measured frequency response for the
circuit of Figure 5. This shows the expected gain of –2 (6dB)
with exceptional flatness through 70MHz and a –3dB bandwidth of 170MHz. Repeating the swept frequency distortion
measurement for a 2VPP output into a 200Ω load and
comparing to the gain of +10 data shown in the Typical
Characteristic curves illustrates the improved distortion for
this low-gain compensation circuit.
Figure 7 compares the distortion at a gain of +10 for the
circuit of Figure 1 to the distortion at a gain of –2 for the circuit
of Figure 5.

former primary as a 50Ω input matching impedance. The
noninverting signal gain (noise gain, NG) to the amplifier
output is then 1 + 1000/400 = 3.5V/V. Taking the input
voltage noise (1.2nV/√Hz ) for the OPA846 times this noise
gain to the output, then reflecting this noise term to the input
side of the RG resistor, divides it by 5. This gives a net gain
of 0.7 for the noninverting input voltage noise when reflected to the input point for the op amp circuit. This term is
further reduced when referred back to the transformer input.

The 14dB gain to the matched load, for the circuit of Figure 8,
is precisely controlled (±0.2dB) and gives a 6dB noise figure
at the input of the transformer. The DC noise gain for this
circuit (3.5) is below the specified minimum stable gain. The
amplifier portion of the circuit uses the low-gain inverting
compensation described in the previous section. Measured
results show 140MHz small-signal bandwidth for the circuit of
Figure 8 with ±0.1dB flatness through 50MHz. The OPA846
easily delivers a 2VPP A/D converter full-scale input at the
matched 50Ω load. 2-tone testing at 20MHz for the circuit of
Figure 8 (1VPP for each test tone) shows that the 2-tone
intermodulation intercept has improved to 40dBm versus the
34dBm shown in the Typical Characteristic curves, giving a
72dBc SFDR for the two 4dBm test tones at the load. This high
SFDR comes with relatively low total power dissipation versus
fixed-gain IF amplifier alternatives. Significantly higher SFDR
is delivered at lower frequencies and/or for the lighter loads
driving A/D converter inputs directly.

The low input noise voltage of the OPA846, and its high
2-tone, 3rd-order intercept, can be used to good advantage as
a fixed-gain IF amplifier. While input noise figures in the 10dB
range (for a matched 50Ω input) are easily achieved with just
the OPA846 alone, Figure 8 shows a technique that reduces
the noise figure even further, while providing a broadband,
moderate-gain IF amplifier stage using the OPA846.
Bringing the signal in through a step-up transformer to the
inverting input gain resistor has several advantages for the
OPA846. First, grounding the noninverting input eliminates
the contribution of the noninverting input current noise to
the output noise. Second, the noninverting input voltage
noise of the op amp is actually attenuated if reflected to the
input side of RG. Using the 1:2 (turns ratio) step-up transformer reflects the 50Ω source impedance at the primary
through to the secondary as a 200Ω source impedance.
The 200Ω RG resistor is reflected through to the trans-

NONINVERTING LOW-GAIN COMPENSATION
Decreasing the operating gain for the OPA846 from the
nominal design point of +10 decreases the phase margin.
This increases Q for the closed-loop poles, peaks up the
frequency response, and extends the bandwidth. A peaked
frequency response shows overshoot and ringing in the
pulse response, as well as a higher integrated output noise.

result. However, operation at low gains may be desirable to
take advantage of the higher slew rate and exceptional DC
precision of the OPA846. Numerous external compensation
techniques are suggested for operating a high-gain op amp
at low gains. Most of these give zero/pole pairs in the closedloop response that cause long term settling tails in the pulse
response and/or phase nonlinearity in the frequency response. Figure 9 shows an external compensation method
for a noninverting configuration that does not suffer from
these drawbacks.

Operating two OPA846 amplifiers in a differential inverting
configuration can further suppress even-order harmonic terms.
The Typical Characteristic curves show measured performance for this condition. For the distortion data, the output
swing is increased to 4VPP into 400Ω to allow direct comparison to the 2VPP into 200Ω data for single-channel operation.
Figure 11 shows the swept frequency 2nd- and 3rd-harmonic
distortion for an inverting differential configuration, where
each channel is set up for a gain of 20.
Comparing this to the single-channel distortion (at 10MHz for
instance), about the same 3rd-harmonic and about a 5dB
improvement in the 2nd-harmonic is shown.

The R1 resistor across the two inputs increases the noise
gain (i.e., decreases the loop gain) without changing the
signal gain. This approach retains the full slew rate to the
output but gives up some of the low-noise benefit of the
OPA846. Assuming a low source impedance is used, set R1
so that 1 + RF /(RG || R1) is > 7. This approach may also be
used to tune the flatness by adjusting R1. The Typical
Characteristic curves show a signal gain of +8 with the
noise gain adjusted for flatness using different values for
R1. Figure 10 shows the measured frequency response for
the circuit of Figure 9 showing the flat frequency response
possible with this compensation.

SINGLE-SUPPLY OPERATION
The OPA846 may be operated from a single power supply if
system constraints require it. Operation from a single +5V to
+12V supply is possible with minimal change in AC performance. The Typical Characteristics show the input and
output voltage ranges for a bipolar supply range from ±2.5V
to ±6V. The Common-Mode Input Range and Output Swing
vs Supply Voltage plot shows that the required headroom on
both the input and output nodes remains at approximately
1.5V over this entire range. On a single +5V supply for
instance, this means the noninverting input should remain
centered at 2.5V ±1V, as should the output pin. See Figure
12 for an example application biasing the noninverting input
at mid-supply and running an AC-coupled input to the inverting gain path. Since the gain resistor is blocked off for DC,
the bias point on the noninverting input appears at the
output, centering up that node, as well on the power supply.
The OPA846 can support this mode of operation down to a
single +5V supply and up to a single +12V supply.

The total output spot noise voltage is computed as the
square root of the squared contributing terms to the output
noise voltage. This computation adds all the contributing
noise powers at the output by superposition and then takes
the square root of the terms to get back to a spot noise
voltage. Equation 8 shows the general form for this output

MACROMODELS AND APPLICATIONS SUPPORT
Computer simulation of circuit performance using SPICE is
often a quick way to analyze the performance of the OPA846
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 OPA846 is available through the TI web page
(www.ti.com). These models predict typical small-signal AC,
transient steps, and DC performance under a wide variety of
operating conditions. The models include the noise terms
found in the electrical specification of this data sheet. These
models do not attempt to distinguish between the package
types in small-signal AC performance.

Setting high resistor values into Equation 9 can quickly
dominate the total equivalent input referred noise. A 90Ω
source impedance on the noninverting input adds a Johnson
voltage noise term equal to that of the amplifier. As a
simplifying constraint, set RG = RS in Equation 9 and assume
an RS/2 source impedance is at the noninverting input (where
RS is the signal source impedance with another matching RS
to ground on the noninverting input). This results in Equation

Evaluating this expression for RS = 50Ω gives a total equivalent input noise of 1.7nV/√Hz. Note that the NG has dropped

stability considerations.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE CONTROL
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 Electrical
Characteristics. Ideally, dividing GBP by the noninverting
signal gain (also called the noise gain, or NG) predicts 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 factor),
most high-speed amplifiers exhibit a more complex response
with lower phase margin. The OPA846 is compensated to
give a maximally flat 2nd-order Butterworth closed-loop response at a noninverting gain of +10 (see Figure 1). This
results in a typical gain of +10 bandwidth of 400MHz, far
exceeding that predicted by dividing the 1750MHz GBP by
10. Increasing the gain causes the phase margin to approach
90° and the bandwidth to more closely approach the predicted value of (GBP/NG). At a gain of +50, the OPA846
shows the 35MHz bandwidth predicted using the simple
formula F–3dB = GBP/NG.
Inverting operation offers some interesting opportunities to
increase the available GBP. When the source impedance is
matched by the gain resistor (see Figure 2), the signal gain
is (– RF/RG), while the noise gain for bandwidth purposes is
(1 + RF/2RG). This cuts the noise gain almost in half,
increasing the minimum stable gain for inverting operation
under these conditions to –12V/V and increases the equivalent GBP to > 3.5GHz.
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 that may be recommended to
improve A/D linearity. A high-speed, high open-loop gain
amplifier like the OPA846 is susceptible to decreasing stability with capacitive loads and results in closed-loop response
peaking when a capacitive load is placed directly on the
amplifier output pin. If the primary considerations are frequency response flatness, pulse 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.
The Typical Characteristic curves help the designer pick a
recommended RS versus Capacitive Load. The resulting frequency response curves show the flat response for a given
capacitive load. Parasitic capacitive loads greater than 2pF
can begin to degrade the performance of the OPA846. Long
PC board traces, unmatched cables, and connections to
multiple devices can easily add additional capacitance to the
existing circuit. Always consider these effects carefully and
add the recommended series resistor as close to the output
pin of the OPA846 as possible (see the Board Layout section).
16
The criterion for setting the RS resistor for maximum bandwidth, flat frequency response at the load is a simple procedure. For the OPA846 operating in a gain of +10V/V, the
frequency response at the output pin is very flat to begin with,
allowing relatively small values of RS to be used for low
capacitive loads. As the signal gain increases, the unloaded
phase margin also increases. Driving capacitive loads at
higher gain settings require lower RS values than those
shown for a gain of +10V/V.
DISTORTION PERFORMANCE
The OPA846 is capable of delivering an exceptionally low
distortion signal at high frequencies over a wide range of
gains. The distortion plots found in the Typical Characteristic
curves show the typical distortion under a wide variety of
conditions. Most of these plots are limited to 110dB dynamic
range. The OPA846 distortion, while driving a 500Ω load,
does not rise above –90dBc until either the signal level
exceeds 2.0VPP and/or the fundamental frequency exceeds
5MHz. Distortion in the audio band is < –120dBc.
Generally, until the fundamental signal reaches very high
frequencies or power, the 2nd-harmonic dominates the distortion with 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 noninverting configuration, this is the sum of RF + RG, while in the inverting
configuration it is just RF (see Figures 1 and 2). Increasing
output voltage swing increases harmonic distortion directly.
A 6dB increase in output swing generally increases the 2ndharmonic to 12dB and the 3rd-harmonic to 18dB. Increasing
the signal gain also increases the 2nd-harmonic distortion.
Again, a 6dB increase in gain increases the 2nd- and 3rdharmonic by approximately 6dB, even with 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 improves
going to lower frequencies down to the dominant open-loop
pole at approximately 100kHz. Starting from the –86dBc 2ndharmonic for a 5MHz, 2VPP fundamental into a 200Ω load at
a gain = +10V/V (from the Typical Characteristic curves), the
2nd-harmonic distortion for frequencies lower than 100KHz
is approximately –86dBc – 20 log(5MHz/100kHz) = –120dBc.
The OPA846 has extremely low 3rd-order distortion. This
also gives a high 2-tone, 3rd-order intermodulation intercept,
as shown in the Typical Characteristic curves. This intercept
curve is defined at the 50Ω load when driven through a 50Ωmatching resistor to allow direct comparisons to RF devices.
This matching network attenuates the voltage swing from the
output pin to the load by 6dB. If the OPA846 drives directly
into the input of a high-impedance device, such as an A/D
converter, the 6dB attenuation is not present. Under these
conditions, the intercept increases by a minimum of 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 ∆f = f2 – f1/2, the two 3rdorder, close-in spurious tones appear at fO ±3 • ∆f. The

DC ACCURACY AND OFFSET CONTROL
The OPA846 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 its low ±0.6mV
maximum (25°C) input offset voltage, careful attention to
input bias current cancellation is also required. The low-noise
input stage for the OPA846 has a relatively high input bias
current (10µA typical into the pins), but with a very close
match between the two input currents—typically ±100nA
input offset current. Figures 14 and 15 show typical distributions of input offset voltage and current for the OPA846. The
total output offset voltage can be considerably reduced by
matching the source impedances looking out of the two pins.

FIGURE 15. Input Offset Current Distribution.
For example, one way to add bias current cancellation to the
circuit of Figure 1 would be to insert a 20Ω series resistor into
the noninverting input from the 50Ω terminating resistor. When
the 50Ω source resistor is DC-coupled, this increases the
source resistances for the noninverting input bias current to
45Ω. Since this is now equal to the resistance looking out of
the inverting input (RF || RG), the circuit cancels 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 the 453Ω feedback resistor, this output error is
now less than ±600nA • 453Ω = ±272µV over the full temperature range.
A fine-scale output offset null, or DC operating point adjustment, is often required. Numerous techniques are available
for introducing a DC offset control into an op amp circuit.
Most of these techniques eventually reduce to setting up a
DC current through the feedback resistor. One key consideration to selecting a technique is to ensure that it has minimal
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 uses the
inverting mode, applying an offset control to the noninverting
input can be considered. For a DC-coupled inverting input
signal, this DC offset signal sets up a DC current back into
the source that must be considered. An offset adjustment
placed on the inverting op amp input can also change the
noise gain and frequency response flatness. See Figure 16
for one example of an offset adjustment for a DC-coupled
signal path that has minimum impact on the signal frequency
response. In this case, the input is brought into an inverting
gain resistor with the DC adjustment as an additional current
summed into the inverting node. The resistor values for
setting this offset adjustment are chosen to be much larger
than the signal path resistors. This ensures that the adjustment has minimal impact on the loop gain and hence, the
frequency response.

difference between the two equal test-tone power levels
and these intermodulation spurious power levels is given by
∆dBc = 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. At 5MHz for instance, the OPA846 at a gain of
+10V/V has an intercept of 48dBm 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 3rd-order
intermodulation spurious tones are 2 • (48 – 4) = 88dBc
below the test-tone power level (–84dBm). If this same 2VPP,
2-tone envelope were delivered directly into the input of an
A/D converter—without the matching loss or the loading of
the 50Ω network—the intercept would increase to at least
54dBm. With the same signal and gain conditions, but now
driving directly into a light load, the spurious tones will then
be at least 2 • (54 – 4) = 100dBc below the 4dBm test-tone
power levels centered on 5MHz.

a) Minimize parasitic capacitance to any AC ground for

THERMAL ANALYSIS
The OPA846 does not require heat sinking or airflow in most
applications. Maximum desired junction temperature sets the
maximum allowed internal power dissipation as described
following. In no case should the maximum junction temperature be allowed to exceed +150°C.
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
the specified no-load supply current times the total supply
voltage across the part. PDL depends 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 either supply voltage (for equal bipolar supplies). Under
this worst-case condition, PDL = VS2/(4 • RL), 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.
As a worst-case example, compute the maximum TJ using an
OPA846IDBV (SOT23-5 package) in the circuit of Figure 1
operating at the maximum specified ambient temperature of
+85°C and driving a grounded 100Ω load at +2.5VDC.
PD = 10V(13.9mA) + 52/(4 • (100Ω || 500Ω)) = 214mW
Maximum TJ = +85°C + (0.21W • 150°C/W) = 117°C
All actual applications will operate at a lower junction temperature than the 117°C computed above. Compute the
actual stage power to get an accurate estimate of maximum
junction temperature, or use the results shown here as an
absolute maximum.

Achieving optimum performance with a high-frequency amplifier such as the OPA846 requires careful attention to board
layout parasitics and external component types. Recommendations that optimize performance include:
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. Larger (2.2µF to 6.8µF) decoupling capacitors are
effective at lower frequencies, and are recommended on the
main supply pins. These may be placed somewhat further
from the device and shared among several devices in the
same area of the PC board.
c) Careful selection and placement of external components preserves the high-frequency performance of the
OPA846. Use resistors that have low reactance at high
frequencies. 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 their leads and PC board
trace length as short as possible. Never use wire wound 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 noninverting input termination
resistors, should also be placed close to the package. Where
double-feedback 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
> 1.5kΩ, this parasitic capacitance can add a pole and/or a
zero below 500MHz that can effect 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 set the RG be set to 50Ω.
Doing this automatically keeps the resistor noise terms low,
and minimizes the effect of parasitic capacitance. Transimpedance applications can use much higher resistor values.
The compensation techniques described in this data sheet
allow excellent frequency response control, even with very
high feedback resistor values.

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. Low
parasitic capacitive loads (< 5pF) may not need an RS, since
the OPA846 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
onboard and, in fact, a higher impedance environment improves 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 OPA846
is used, as well as a terminating shunt resistor at the input of
the destination device. Remember also that the terminating
impedance is 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 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
does not preserve signal integrity as well as a doublyterminated 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 OPA846 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 OPA846
onto the board.
INPUT AND ESD PROTECTION
The OPA846 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 17.
+VCC
External
Pin
–VCC
FIGURE 17. 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 (e.g., in systems with ±15V supply parts
driving into the OPA846), 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.

Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
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.
