Triple Wideband, Current-Feedback  
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER With Disable  
DESCRIPTION  
FEATURES  
The OPA3681 sets a new level of performance for broadband  
triple current-feedback op amps. Operating on a very low  
6mA/ch supply current, the OPA3681 offers a slew rate and  
output power normally associated with a much higher supply  
current. A new output stage architecture delivers a high output  
current with minimal voltage headroom and crossover distor-  
tion. This gives exceptional single-supply operation. Using a  
single +5V supply, the OPA3681 can deliver a 1V to 4V output  
swing with over 100mA drive current and 150MHz bandwidth.  
This combination of features makes the OPA3681 an ideal RGB  
line driver or single-supply ADC input driver.  
WIDEBAND +5V OPERATION: 225MHz (G = +2)  
UNITY GAIN STABLE: 280MHz (G = 1)  
HIGH OUTPUT CURRENT: 150mA  
OUTPUT VOLTAGE SWING: ±4.0V  
HIGH SLEW RATE: 2100V/µs  
LOW SUPPLY CURRENT: 6mA/ch  
LOW DISABLED CURRENT: 300µA/ch  
IMPROVED HIGH FREQUENCY PINOUT  
The OPA3681’s low 6mA/ch supply current is precisely trimmed  
at 25°C. This trim, along with low drift over temperature,  
guarantees lower guaranteed maximum supply current than  
competing products. System power may be further reduced by  
using the optional disable control pin. Leaving this disable pin  
open, or holding it high, gives normal operation. If pulled low,  
the OPA3681 supply current drops to less than 300µA/ch while  
the output goes into a high impedance state. This feature may be  
used for power savings or for video MUX applications.

is included between the two power supply pins. In practical  
PC board layouts, this optionally added capacitor will typi-  
cally improve the 2nd harmonic distortion performance by  
3dB to 6dB.  
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
WIDEBAND CURRENT-FEEDBACK OPERATION  
The OPA3681 gives the exceptional AC performance of a  
wideband current-feedback op amp with a highly linear,  
high power output stage. Requiring only 6mA/ch quiescent  
current, the OPA3681 will swing to within 1V of either  
supply rail and deliver in excess of 135mA guaranteed at  
room temperature. This low output headroom requirement,  
along with supply voltage independent biasing, gives re-  
markable single (+5V) supply operation. The OPA3681 will  
deliver greater than 200MHz bandwidth driving a 2Vp-p  
output into 100on a single +5V supply. Previous boosted  
output stage amplifiers have typically suffered from very  
poor crossover distortion as the output current goes through  
zero. The OPA3681 achieves a comparable power gain with  
much better linearity. The primary advantage of a current-  
feedback op amp over a voltage-feedback op amp is that AC  
performance (bandwidth and distortion) is relatively inde-  
pendent of signal gain.  
Figure 2 shows the AC-coupled, gain of +2, single-supply  
circuit configuration used as the basis of the +5V Specifica-  
tions and Typical Performance Curves. Though not a “rail-  
to-rail” design, the OPA3681 requires minimal input and  
output voltage headroom compared to other very wideband  
current-feedback op amps. It will deliver a 3Vp-p output  
swing on a single +5V supply with greater than 150MHz  
bandwidth. The key requirement of broadband single-supply  
operation is to maintain input and output signal swings  
within the usable voltage ranges at both the input and the  
output. The circuit of Figure 2 establishes an input midpoint  
bias using a simple resistive divider from the +5V supply  
(two 806resistors). The input signal is then AC-coupled  
into this midpoint voltage bias. The input voltage can swing  
to within 1.5V of either supply pin, giving a 2Vp-p input  
signal range centered between the supply pins. The input  
impedance matching resistor (57.6) used for testing is  
adjusted to give a 50input match when the parallel  
combination of the biasing divider network is included. The  
gain resistor (RG) is AC-coupled, giving the circuit a DC  
gain of +1, which puts the input DC bias voltage (2.5V) on  
the output as well. Again, on a single +5V supply, the output  
voltage can swing to within 1V of either supply pin while  
delivering more than 75mA output current. A demanding  
100load to a midpoint bias is used in this characterization  
circuit. The new output stage used in the OPA3681 can  
deliver large bipolar output currents into this midpoint load  
with minimal crossover distortion, as shown by the +5V  
supply, 3rd harmonic distortion plots.  
Figure 1 shows the DC-coupled, gain of +2, dual power  
supply circuit configuration used as the basis of the ±5V  
Specifications and Typical Performance Curves. For test  
purposes, the input impedance is set to 50with a resistor  
to ground and the output impedance is set to 50with a  
series output resistor. Voltage swings reported in the speci-  
fications are taken directly at the input and output pins while  
load powers (dBm) are defined at a matched 50load. For  
the circuit of Figure 1, the total effective load will be 100Ω  
|| 998. The disable control line (DIS) is typically left open  
to guarantee normal amplifier operation. One optional com-  
ponent is included in Figure 1. In addition to the usual power  
supply de-coupling capacitors to ground, a 0.1µF capacitor

OPA3681  
TRIPLE ADC BUFFER CHANNEL  
WIDEBAND RGB MULTIPLEXER  
The OPAx681 family is ideally suited to single supply,  
wideband ADC driving. A current feedback op amp is ideal  
where high gains with high bandwidths are required. The  
wide 3Vp-p output swing with over 150MHz full power  
bandwidth on a single +5V supply is well suited to the  
2Vp-p input range commonly required from modern CMOS  
pipelined ADCs. Three channels of very high speed digitizer  
channels are shown in Figure 3 using the OPA3681 driving  
three ADS831s (8-bit, 80Msps CMOS converters). Each  
input is AC-coupled into a 50gain resistor that also will  
act as a 50impedance match at high frequencies. The  
amplifier’s inputs and outputs are centered on the ADC  
common-mode input voltage by tying each converter’s VCM  
to the non-inverting inputs of the amplifier. This VCM acts as  
the swing midpoint for the input to the converter. Since the  
ADS831 can operate with differential inputs, driving into  
the IN input will give a net non-inverting signal channel  
even with the amplifiers operating at an inverting gain of  
–6. The other input to the ADS831 is tied to this VCM as well  
to give an input signal midpoint equal to VCM. The 300Ω  
feedback resistor will be the output load in this configura-  
tion. Harmonic distortion for the OPA3681 will not degrade  
the converter’s SFDR performance in this application.  
The OPA3681 is ideally suited to implementing a simple,  
very wideband, 2x1 RGB multiplexer. This simple “wired-  
OR video multiplexer” can be easily implemented using the  
circuit shown in Figure 4.  
This circuit uses two OPA3681s where each package ac-  
cepts the three RGB component video signals from one of  
two possible sources. Each non-inverting input is terminated

in 75to match the typical video source impedance. The  
disable control is used to switch between channels by feed-  
ing a logic control line directly to all three VDIS inputs on  
one package, and its complement to the three VDIS inputs on  
the other. Since the disable feature is intentionally make-  
before-break (to ensure that the output does not float in  
transition), each of the two possible outputs for the three  
RGB lines are combined through a limiting resistor. This  
82.5resistor limits the current between the two outputs  
during switching. Each output will have a disabled channel.  
The feedback and output network connected on the output  
slightly attenuates the signal going out onto the 75cable.  
The gain and output matching resistors (82.5) have been  
slightly increased to get a signal gain of +1 to the matched  
load and provide a 75output impedance to the cable. The  
section on Disable Operation shows the turn-on and turn-off  
switching glitches, using a grounded input for the single  
channel, is typically less than ±50mV. Where two outputs  
are switched (shown in Figure 4), the output line is always  
under the control of one amplifier or the other due to the  
“make-before-break” disable timing. In this case, the switch-  
ing glitches for 0V inputs drops to < 20mV.  
The first op amp buffers the video DAC output and the first  
filter section from each other. This first filter section pro-  
vides group delay equalization. The second and third filter  
sections provide a 6th-order lowpass filter response that also  
compensates for the DAC’s sin(x)/x response.  
The filter response can be seen in Figure 6.

VIDEO DAC RECONSTRUCTION FILTER  
Wideband current-feedback op amps make ideal elements  
for implementing high-speed active filters where the ampli-  
fier is used as fixed gain block inside a passive RC circuit  
network. Their relatively constant bandwidth versus gain,  
provides low interaction between the actual filter poles and  
the required gain for the amplifier. Figure 5 shows an  
example of a video DAC reconstruction filter.  
HIGH POWER xDSL LINE DRIVER  
Emerging broadband access technologies are making sig-  
nificant demands on the output stage drivers. Some of the  
higher frequency versions, particularly in VDSL, require  
passive bandpass filters to spectrally isolate the upstream  
from downstream frequency bands. Figure 7 shows one  
possible implementation of this using single-ended filters  
and giving differential push/pull drive into a transformer.  
The DAC output from the analog front end (AFE) typically  
requires isolation from the complex filter impedance. The  
first stage provides a tunable gain (using RG) with a fixed  
The delay-equalized filter in Figure 5 compensates for the  
DAC’s sin(x)/x response, and minimizes aliasing artifacts. It  
is designed for single +5V operation, with a 13.5Msps DAC  
sampling rate, and a 5.5MHz cutoff frequency.

termination for the DAC, RT. It is very useful from a  
distortion standpoint to scale the characteristic impedance  
up for the filter. This reduces the loading at the first stage  
amplifier output, typically improving 3rd-order terms di-  
rectly, as well as some improvement in 2nd-order terms.  
Figure 7 assumes a 100characteristic impedance for the  
filter. The filter is driven from a 100source resistor into a  
100load that is formed by the input gain resistor of the  
inverting amplifier channel. The other non-inverting input is  
isolated by a series 50resistor—principally to isolate that  
input from the out-of-band source impedance of the filter. In  
this example, the output stage is set up for a differential gain  
of 8. The total gain from the output of the bandpass filter to  
the line will be 4 • n, where n is the turns ratio used in the  
transformer. Very broad bandwidths at high power levels are  
possible using the OPA3681 in the circuit of Figure 7.  
Recognize also, that the output is in fact bandlimited by the  
filter. Very high dynamic range is possible inside the filter  
bandwidth due to the significant performance margin pro-  
vided by the OPA3681.  
stage, built using the 3rd wideband current-feedback op  
amp, in the OPA3681 will give lower CMRR at DC than  
using a voltage feedback part, but higher CMRR at higher  
frequencies. Measured performance, with no resistor value  
tuning, gave approximately 75dB at DC and > 55dB CMRR  
(input referred) through 10MHz. To maintain good distor-  
tion performance for the input stage amplifiers, the loading  
at each output has been matched while achieving the gain of  
1 and differential characteristic of the output stage. To  
improve DC CMRR, tune the resistor to ground at the non-  
inverting input of the output stage amplifier.  
WIDEBAND PROGRAMMABLE GAIN  
By tying all three inputs together from a single source, and  
all three outputs together to drive a common load, a very  
wideband, programmable gain function may be implemented.  
Figure 8 shows an example of this application where the  
three channels have been set up for gains of 2, 4, and 8 to  
their output pins. When driving a doubly-terminated 50Ω  
load, this gives a user-selectable gain of 1, 2 and 4 to the  
matched load. The feedback resistor value has been opti-  
mized for maximum flat bandwidth in each channel. This  
will give an almost constant > 200MHz bandwidth at any of  
the three gain settings. The desired gain is selected by using  
the disable control lines to choose one of the three possible  
amplifiers as the active channel. An additional 10resistor  
was included inside the loop on each output stage to limit  
output stage currents if more than one output is on during  
gain select transition. This will reduce the maximum avail-  
able output voltage swing into the 100total load shown in  
Figure 8 to approximately ±3.2V, but will provide surge  
current protection during channel switching. The 20series  
resistors on each non-inverting input serves to isolate the  
input parasitic capacitance from the source.  
WIDEBAND DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER  
The differential amplifier (three amplifier instrumentation  
topology) on the front page of this data sheet shows a  
common application applied to this triple current feedback  
op amp. The two input stage amplifiers are configured for a  
relatively high differential gain of 10. Lowering the feed-  
back resistor values in this input stage provides > 120MHz  
bandwidth, even at this high gain setting. The signal is  
applied to the high impedance, non-inverting inputs at the  
input stage. The differential gain is set by (1 + 2RF/RG) = 10  
using the values shown on the front page. The third amplifier  
performs the differential-to-single-ended conversion in a  
standard single op amp differential stage. This differential

OPTIMIZE BANDWIDTH  
A current-feedback op amp like the OPA3681 can hold an  
almost constant bandwidth over signal gain settings with the  
proper adjustment of the external resistor values. This is shown  
in the Typical Performance Curves; the small signal bandwidth  
decreases only slightly with increasing gain. These curves also  
show that the feedback resistor has been changed for each gain  
setting. The resistor “values” on the inverting side of the circuit  
for a current feedback op amp can be treated as frequency  
response compensation elements while their “ratios” set the  
signal gain. Figure 9 shows the small-signal frequency response  
analysis circuit for the OPA3681.

A current-feedback op amp senses an error current in the  
inverting node (as opposed to a differential input error  
voltage for a voltage feedback op amp) and passes this on to  
the output through an internal frequency dependent  
transimpedance gain. The Typical Performance Curves show  
this open-loop transimpedance response. This is analogous  
to the open-loop voltage gain curve for a voltage-feedback  
op amp. Developing the transfer function for the circuit of  
Figure 9 gives Equation 1:  
minimum value of 20. Lower values will load both the  
buffer stage at the input and the output stage if RF gets too  
low—actually decreasing the bandwidth. Figure 10 shows  
the recommended RF vs NG for both ±5V and a single +5V  
operation. The values shown in Figure 10 give a good  
starting point for design where bandwidth optimization is  
desired.

RF + RI NG  
The total impedance going into the inverting input may be  
used to adjust the closed-loop signal bandwidth. Inserting a  
series resistor between the inverting input and the summing  
junction will increase the feedback impedance (denominator  
of Equation 2), decreasing the bandwidth. The internal  
buffer output impedance for the OPA3681 is slightly influ-  
enced by the source impedance looking out of the non-  
inverting input terminal. High source resistors will have the  
effect of increasing RI, decreasing the bandwidth. For those  
single-supply applications which develop a midpoint bias at  
the non-inverting input through high valued resistors, the  
decoupling capacitor is essential for power supply ripple  
rejection, non-inverting input noise current shunting, and to  
minimize the high frequency value for RI in Figure 9.  
If 20 log (RF + NG RI) were drawn on top of the open-  
loop transimpedance plot, the difference between the two  
would be the loop gain at a given frequency. Eventually,  
Z(s) rolls off to equal the denominator of Equation 2 at  
which point the loop gain has reduced to 1 (and the curves  
have intersected). This point of equality is where the  
amplifier’s closed-loop frequency response, given by Equa-  
tion 1, will start to roll off and is exactly analogous to the  
frequency at which the noise gain equals the open-loop  
voltage gain for a voltage-feedback op amp. The difference  
here is that the total impedance in the denominator of  
Equation 2 may be controlled somewhat separately from the  
desired signal gain (or NG).  
The OPA3681 is internally compensated to give a maxi-  
mally flat frequency response for RF = 499at NG = 2 on  
±5V supplies. Evaluating the denominator of Equation 2  
(which is the feedback transimpedance) gives an optimal  
target of 589. As the signal gain changes, the contribution  
of the NG RI term in the feedback transimpedance will  
change, but the total can be held constant by adjusting RF.  
Equation 3 gives an approximate equation for optimum RF  
INVERTING AMPLIFIER OPERATION  
Since the OPA3681 is a general purpose, wideband current-  
feedback op amp, most of the familiar op amp application  
circuits are available to the designer. Those triple op amp  
applications that require considerable flexibility in the feed-  
back element (e.g., integrators, transimpedance, some fil-  
ters) should consider the unity gain stable voltage-feedback  
OPA2680, since the feedback resistor is the compensation  
element for a current feedback op amp. Wideband inverting  
operation (especially summing) is particularly suited to the  
OPA3681. Figure 11 shows a typical inverting configuration  
where the I/O impedances and signal gain from Figure 1 are  
retained in an inverting circuit configuration.  
over signal gain:

As the desired signal gain increases, this equation will  
eventually predict a negative RF. A somewhat subjective  
limit to this adjustment can also be set by holding RG to a

OUTPUT CURRENT AND VOLTAGE  
The OPA3681 provides output voltage and current capabili-  
ties that are unsurpassed in a low cost dual monolithic op  
amp. Under no-load conditions at 25°C, the output voltage  
typically swings closer than 1V to either supply rail; the  
guaranteed swing limit is within 1.2V of either rail. Into a  
15load (the minimum tested load), it is guaranteed to  
deliver more than ±135mA.

The specifications described above, though familiar in the  
industry, consider voltage and current limits separately. In  
many applications, it is the voltage current, or V-I product,  
which is more relevant to circuit operation. Refer to the  
“Output Voltage and Current Limitations” plot in the Typi-  
cal Performance Curves. The X and Y axes of this graph  
show the zero-voltage output current limit and the zero-  
current output voltage limit, respectively. The four quad-  
rants give a more detailed view of the OPA3681’s output  
drive capabilities, noting that the graph is bounded by a  
“Safe Operating Area” of 1W maximum internal power  
dissipation. Superimposing resistor load lines onto the plot  
shows that the OPA3681 can drive ±2.5V into 25or ±3.5V  
into 50without exceeding the output capabilities or the  
1W dissipation limit. A 100load line (the standard test  
circuit load) shows the full ±3.9V output swing capability,  
as shown in the Specifications Table.

FIGURE 11. Inverting Gain of –2 with Impedance Matching.  
In the inverting configuration, two key design consider-  
ations 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 when-  
ever the signal is coupled through a cable, twisted pair, long  
PC board trace or other transmission line conductor), it is  
normally necessary to add an additional matching resistor to  
ground. RG by itself is normally not set to the required input  
impedance since its value, along with the desired gain, will  
determine a RF which may be non-optimal from a frequency  
response standpoint. The total input impedance for the  
source becomes the parallel combination of RG and RM.  
The minimum specified output voltage and current over  
temperature are set by worst-case simulations at the cold  
temperature extreme. Only at cold startup 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 out-  
put 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.  
The second major consideration, touched on in the previous  
paragraph, is that the signal source impedance becomes part  
of the noise gain equation and will have slight effect on the  
bandwidth through Equation 1. The values shown in Figure  
11 have accounted for this by slightly decreasing RF (from  
Figure 1) to re-optimize the bandwidth for the noise gain of  
Figure 11 (NG = 2.82) In the example of Figure 11, the RM  
value combines in parallel with the external 50source  
impedance, yielding an effective driving impedance of  
50|| 64= 28.1. This impedance is added in series with  
RG for calculating the noise gain—which gives NG = 2.82.  
This value, along with the RF of Figure 10 and the inverting  
input impedance of 45, are inserted into Equation 3 to get  
a feedback transimpedance nearly equal to the 589opti-  
mum value.  
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 match-  
ing 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 pins will, in most cases,  
destroy the amplifier. If additional short-circuit protection  
is required, consider a small series resistor in the power  
supply leads. Under heavy output loads, this will reduce the  
available output voltage swing. A 5series resistor in each  
power supply lead will limit the internal power dissipation to  
less than 1W for an output short circuit while decreasing the  
available output voltage swing only 0.5V for up to 100mA  
desired load currents. Always place the 0.1µF power supply  
decoupling capacitors after these supply current-limiting  
resistors directly on the supply pins.  
Note that the non-inverting input in this bipolar supply  
inverting application is connected directly to ground. It is  
often suggested that an additional resistor be connected to  
ground on the non-inverting input to achieve bias current  
error cancellation at the output. The input bias currents for  
a current feedback op amp are not generally matched in  
either magnitude or polarity. Connecting a resistor to ground  
on the non-inverting input of the OPA3681 in the circuit of  
Figure 11 will actually provide additional gain for that  
input’s bias and noise currents, but will not decrease the  
output DC error since the input bias currents are not matched.

DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS  
up in the 2-tone, 3rd-order intermodulation spurious (IM3)  
response curves. The 3rd- order spurious levels are extremely  
low at low output power levels. The output stage continues to  
hold them low even as the fundamental power reaches very  
high levels. As the Typical Performance Curves show, the  
spurious intermodulation powers do not increase as predicted  
by a traditional intercept model. As the fundamental power  
level increases, the dynamic range does not decrease signifi-  
cantly. For 2 tones centered at 20MHz, with 10dBm/tone into  
a matched 50load (i.e., 2Vp-p for each tone at the load,  
which requires 8Vp-p for the overall 2-tone envelope at the  
output pin), the Typical Performance Curves show 62dBc  
difference between the test tone power and the 3rd-order  
intermodulation spurious levels. This exceptional perfor-  
mance improves further when operating at lower frequencies.  
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 OPA3681 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 amplifier’s open-loop output resistance is considered,  
this capacitive load introduces an additional pole in the  
signal path that can decrease the phase margin. Several  
external solutions to this problem have been suggested.  
When the primary considerations are frequency response  
flatness, pulse response fidelity and/or distortion, the sim-  
plest 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 re-  
sponse, 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.  
NOISE PERFORMANCE  
Wideband current feedback op amps generally have a higher  
output noise than comparable voltage-feedback op amps.  
The OPA3681 offers an excellent balance between voltage  
and current noise terms to achieve low output noise. The  
inverting current noise (15pA/Hz) is significantly lower  
than earlier solutions while the input voltage noise  
(2.2nV/Hz) is lower than most unity gain stable, wideband,  
voltage feedback op amps. This low input voltage noise was  
achieved at the price of higher non-inverting input current  
noise (12pA/Hz). As long as the AC source impedance  
looking out of the non-inverting node is less than 100, this  
current noise will not contribute significantly to the total  
output noise. The op amp input voltage noise and the two  
input current noise terms combine to give low output noise  
under a wide variety of operating conditions. Figure 12  
shows the op amp noise analysis model with all the noise  
terms included. In this model, all noise terms are taken to be  
noise voltage or current density terms in either nV/Hz or  
pA/Hz.  
The Typical Performance Curves show the recommended  
RS vs Capacitive Load and the resulting frequency response  
at the load. Parasitic capacitive loads greater than 2pF can  
begin to degrade the performance of the OPA3681. Long PC  
board 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 OPA3681 output  
pin (see Board Layout Guidelines).  
DISTORTION PERFORMANCE  
The OPA3681 provides good distortion performance into a  
100load on ±5V supplies. Relative to alternative solu-  
tions, it provides exceptional performance into lighter loads  
and/or operating on a single +5V 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 the sum of RF + RG, while in the inverting  
configuration it is just RF. Also, providing an additional  
supply decoupling capacitor (0.1µF) between the supply  
pins (for bipolar operation) improves the 2nd-order distor-  
tion slightly (3dB to 6dB).

DISABLE OPERATION  
The OPA3681 provides an optional disable feature that may  
be used either to reduce system power or to implement a  
simple channel multiplexing operation. If the DIS control  
pin is left unconnected, the OPA3681 will operate normally.  
To disable, the control pin must be asserted low. Figure 13

spot noise voltage of 4.2nV/Hz. This total input-referred  
spot noise voltage is higher than the 2.2nV/Hz specifica-  
tion for the op amp voltage noise alone. This reflects the  
noise added to the output by the inverting current noise times  
the feedback resistor. If the feedback resistor is reduced in  
high gain configurations (as suggested previously), the total  
input-referred voltage noise given by Equation 5 will ap-  
proach just the 2.2nV/Hz of the op amp itself. For example,  
going to a gain of +10 using RF = 182will give a total

of Figure 13. Additional circuitry ensures that turn-on time  
occurs faster than turn-off time (make-before-break).  
DC ACCURACY AND OFFSET CONTROL  
A current-feedback op amp like the OPA3681 provides  
exceptional bandwidth in high gains, giving fast pulse set-  
tling but only moderate DC accuracy. The Specifications  
Table shows an input offset voltage comparable to high-  
speed, voltage-feedback amplifiers. However, the two input  
bias currents are somewhat higher and are unmatched.  
Whereas bias current cancellation techniques are very effec-  
tive with most voltage-feedback op amps, they do not  
generally reduce the output DC offset for wideband current-  
feedback op amps. Since the two input bias currents are  
unrelated in both magnitude and polarity, matching the  
source impedance looking out of each input to reduce their  
error contribution to the output is ineffective. Evaluating the  
configuration of Figure 1, using worst-case +25°C input  
offset voltage and the two input bias currents, gives a worst-  
case output offset range equal to:  
When disabled, the output and input nodes go to a high  
impedance state. If the OPA3681 is operating in a gain of  
+1, this will show a very high impedance (4pF || 1M) at the  
output and exceptional signal isolation. If operating at a  
gain greater than +1, the total feedback network resistance  
(RF + RG) will appear as the impedance looking back into  
the output, but the circuit will still show very high forward  
and reverse isolation. If configured as an inverting ampli-  
fier, the input and output will be connected through the  
feedback network resistance (RF + RG) giving relatively  
poor input to output isolation.  
One key parameter in disable operation is the output glitch  
when switching in and out of the disable mode. Figure 14  
shows these glitches for the circuit of Figure 1 with the input  
signal set to zero volts. The glitch waveform at the output  
pin is plotted along with the DIS pin voltage.

BOARD LAYOUT GUIDELINES

Achieving optimum performance with a high frequency  
amplifier like the OPA3681 requires careful attention to  
board layout parasitics and external component types. Rec-  
ommendations that will optimize performance include:  
Output Voltage  
(0V Input)  
0
–20  
–40  
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 non-  
inverting input, it can react with the source impedance to  
cause unintentional bandlimiting. To reduce unwanted ca-  
pacitance, 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 unbro-  
ken elsewhere on the board.

Time (20ns/div)  
FIGURE 14. Disable/Enable Glitch.  
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 (on pins 4 and 7) should always be decoupled  
with these capacitors. An optional supply de-coupling ca-  
pacitor 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 placed somewhat farther from the device and  
may be shared among several devices in the same area of the  
PC board.  
The transition edge rate (dv/dt) of the DIS control line will  
influence this glitch. For the plot of Figure 14, the edge rate  
was reduced until no further reduction in glitch amplitude  
was observed. This approximately 1V/ns maximum slew  
rate may be achieved by adding a simple RC filter into the  
VDIS pin from a higher speed logic line. If extremely fast  
transition logic is used, a 2kseries resistor between the  
logic gate and the VDIS input pin will provide adequate  
bandlimiting using just the parasitic input capacitance on the  
VDIS pin while still ensuring adequate logic level swing.  
THERMAL ANALYSIS  
Due to the high output power capability of the OPA3681,  
heatsinking or forced airflow may be required under extreme  
operating conditions. Maximum desired junction tempera-  
ture will set the maximum allowed internal power dissipa-  
tion 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 θJA. The total  
internal power dissipation (PD) is the sum of quiescent  
power (PDQ) and additional power dissipation 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  
c) Careful selection and placement of external compo-  
nents will preserve the high frequency performance of  
the OPA3681. 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 per-  
formance. Again, keep their leads and PC board trace length  
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 capaci-  
tance, always position the feedback and series output resis-  
tor, if any, as close as possible to the output pin. Other  
network components, such as non-inverting input termina-  
tion 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. The frequency response is primarily determined by the  
feedback resistor value as described previously. Increasing  
its value will reduce the bandwidth, while decreasing it will  
give a more peaked frequency response. The 499feedback  
resistor used in the typical performance specifications at a  
gain of +2 on ±5V supplies is a good starting point for  
design. Note that a 549feedback resistor, rather than a  
direct short, is recommended for the unity gain follower  
application. A current feedback op amp requires a feedback  
resistor even in the unity gain follower configuration to  
control stability.

supplies). Under this condition, PDL = VS /(4 • RL) where RL  
includes feedback network loading.  
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  
OPA3681 SO-16 (in the circuit of Figure 1), operating at the  
maximum specified ambient temperature of +85°C with all  
three outputs driving a grounded 20load to +2.5V:  
PD = 10V • 19.2mA + 3 • [52/(4 • (20|| 998))] = 1.15W  
Maximum TJ = +85°C + (1.15 • 100°C/W) = 200°C  
This absolute worst-case condition exceeds specified maxi-  
mum junction temperature. Normally this extreme case will  
not be encountered. Careful attention to internal power  
dissipation is required and perhaps airflow considered under  
extreme conditions.

OPA3681  
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  
OPA3681 is nominally compensated to operate with a 2pF  
parasitic load. 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 tech-  
niques). A 50environment is normally not necessary on  
board, and in fact, a higher impedance environment will  
improve distortion as shown in the Distortion vs 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 OPA3681 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:  
this total effective impedance should be set to match the  
trace impedance. The high output voltage and current capa-  
bility of the OPA3681 allows multiple destination devices to  
be handled as separate transmission lines, each with their  
own series and shunt terminations. 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 RS vs Capacitive  
Load. This will not preserve signal integrity as well as a  
doubly-terminated line. If the input impedance of the desti-  
nation device is low, there will be some signal attenuation  
due to the voltage divider formed by the series output into  
the terminating impedance.  
currents are possible (e.g., in systems with ±15V supply  
parts driving into the OPA3681), 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 like the OPA3681 is not  
recommended. The additional lead length and pin-to-pin  
capacitance introduced by the socket can create an ex-  
tremely troublesome parasitic network which can make it  
almost impossible to achieve a smooth, stable frequency  
response. Best results are obtained by soldering the OPA3681  
onto the board.

boards.  
SPICE MODELS  
Computer simulation of circuit performance using SPICE is  
often useful when analyzing the performance of analog  
circuits and systems. This is particularly true for high speed  
active devices, like the OPA3681, where parasitic capaci-  
tance and inductance can have a major effect on frequency  
response.  
INPUT AND ESD PROTECTION  
The OPA3681 is built using a very high speed complemen-  
tary bipolar process. The internal junction breakdown volt-  
ages are relatively low for these very small geometry de-  
vices. These breakdowns are reflected in the Absolute Maxi-  
mum Ratings table. All device pins have limited ESD  
protection using internal diodes to the power supplies as  
shown in Figure 15.  
SPICE models will be available through the Burr-Brown  
web page or on a disk (call our Applications Department).  
These models do a good job of predicting small-signal AC  
and transient performance under a wide variety of operating  
conditions. They do not do as well in predicting the har-  
monic distortion or differential gain and phase characteris-  
tics. These models do not distinguish between the AC  
performance of different package types.  
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
