NOTES: (1) Measured With Industry-standard no,se test CirCUit (Figures 1 and 2). Due to errors Introduced by thiS method, these current noise speCifications should

be used for comparison purposes only. (2) Offset voltage specifications on grades A and E are also guaranteed with units fully warmed up. Grades S, C, F, and G are
measured with automatic test equipment after approximately 0.5 seconds from power turn-on. (3) Unnulled or nulled with 8kU to 20kU potentiometer. (4) Long-term
voltage offset vs time trend line does not include warm-up drift. (5) Typical specification only on plastiC package units. Slew rate varies on all units due to differing test
methods. Minimum specification applies to open-loop test. (6) This parameter guaranteed by design.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT

THERMOELECTRIC POTENTIALS

The OPA27/37 offset voltage is laser-trimmed and will require no further trim for most applications. Offset voltage
drift will not be degraded when the input offset is nulled with
a 10kn trim potentiometer. Other potentiometer values from
lkn to IMQ can be used but Vos drift will be degraded by
an additional 0.1 to 0.2IlV/oC. Nulling large system offsets
by use of the offset trim adjust will degrade drift perfonnance
by approximately 3.3IlV/oC per millivolt of offset. Large
system offsets can be nulled without drift degradation by
input summing.

The OPA27/37 is laser-trimmed. to microvolt-level input
offset voltage and for very low input offset voltage drift.

The conventional offset voltage trim circuit is shown in
Figure 3. For trimming very small offsets, the higher resolution circuit shown in Figure 4 is recommended.

Careful layout and circuit design techuiques are necessary to
prevent offset and drift errors from external thermoelectric
potentials. Dissimilar metal junctions can generate small
EMFs if care is not taken to eliminate either their sources
(lead-to-PC, wiring, etc.) or their temperature difference. See
Figure II.
Short, direct mounting of the OPA27/37 with close spacing
of the input pins is highly recommended. Poor layout can
result in circuit drifts and offsets which are an order of
magnitude greater than the operational amplifier alone.

The OPA27/37 can replace 741-type operational amplifiers
by removing or modifying the trim circuit.

NOISE: BIPOLAR VERSUS FET

Low-noise circuit design requires careful analysis of all noise
sources. External noise sources can dominate in many cases,
so consider the effect of source resistance on overall operational amplifier noise performance. At low source impedances, the lower voltage noise of a bipolar operational
amplifier is superior, but at higher impedances the high
current noise of a bipolar amplifier becomes a serious liability. Above about J51d:! the Burr-Brown OPAllllow-noise
PET operational amplifier is recommended for lower total
noise than the OPA27 (see Figure 5).

COMPENSATION
Although internally compensated for unity-gain stability, the
OPA27 may require a small capacitor in parallel with a
feedback resistor (~) which is greater than 21d:!. This capacitor will compensate the pole generated by R, and C1N and
eliminate peaking or oscillation.
INPUT PROTECTION

Back-to-back diodes are used for input protection on the
OPA27!37. Exceeding a few hundred millivolts differential
input signal will cause current to flow and without externa. .
current limiting resistors the input will be destroyed.
Accidental static discharge as well as high current can
damage the amplifier's input circuit. Although the unit may
still be functional, important parameters such as input offset
voltage, dirft, and noise may be permanently damaged as will
any precision operational amplifier subjected to this abuse.
Transient conditions can cause feedtbrough due to the
amplifier's finite slew rate. When using the OP-27 as a unitygain buffer (follower) a feedback resistor of lid:! is recommended (see Figure 6).

DESCRIPTION

D.

The OPAI77 and OPA77 precision bipolar op amps
feature very low offset voltage and drift. Laser-trimmed
offset, drift and input bias current virtually eliminate
the need for costly external trimming. Their high
performance and low cost make them ideally suited to
a wide range of precision instrumentation.
The low quiescent current of the OPAl77 and OPA77
dramatically reduce warm-up drift and errors due to

thermoelectric effects in input interconnections. They
provide an effective alternative to chopper-stabilized
amplifiers. The low noise of the OPAI77 and OPA77
maintains accuracy.
OPA 177 and OPA77 performance gradeouts are available. Packaging options include 8-pin plastic DIP, 8pin ceramic DIP, and SO-8 surface-mount packages.

DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY

Any integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. ESD can cause damage ranging
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.
Burr-Brown's standard ESD test method consists of five
IOOOV positive and negative discharges (lOOpF in series
with 1.5kQ) applied to each pin.
Failure to observe proper handling procedures could result
in small changes to the OPAl 77's input bias current.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The OPA177 is unity-gain stable, making it easy to use and
free from oscillations in the widest range of circuitry. Applications with noisy or high impedance power supply lines
may require decoupling capacitors close to the device pins.
In most cases O.11JF ceramic capacitors are adequate.
The OPA177 has very low offset voltage and drift. To
achieve highest performance, circuit layout and mechanical
conditions must be optimized. Offset voltage and drift can
be degraded by small thermoelectric potentials at the op amp
inputs. Connections of dissimilar metals will generate thermal potential which can mask the ultimate performance of
the OPAI77. These thermal potentials can be made to cancel
by assuring that they are equal in both input terminals.
1. Keep connections made to the two input terminals close
together.
2. Locate heat sources as far as possible from the critical
input circuitry.
3. Shield the op amp and input circuitry from air currents
such as cooling fans.

OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The OPA177 and OPA77 have been laser-trimmed for low
offset voltage and drift so most circuits will not require
external adjustment. Figure 1 shows the optional connection
of an external potentiometer to adjust offset voltage. This
adjustment should not be used to compensate for offsets
created elsewhere in a system since this can introduce
excessive temperature drift.

INPUT PROTECTION
The inputs of the OPA177 and OPA77 are protected with
5000 series input resistors and diode clamps as shown in the
simplified circuit diagram. The inputs can withstand ±30V
differential inputs without damage. The protection diodes
will, of course, conduct current when the inputs are overdriven. This may disturb the slewing behavior of unity-gain
follower applications, but will not damage the op amp.

FIGURE 1. Optional Offset Nulling Circuit.

NOISE PERFORMANCE
The noise performance of the OPA177 and OPA77 is optimized for circuit impedances in the range of 2W to 50kO.
Total noise in an application is a combination of the op
amp's input voltage noise and input bias current noise
reacting with circuit impedances. For applications with higher
source impedance, the OPA627 PET-input op amp will
generally provide lower noise. For very low impedance
applications, the OPA27 will provide lower noise.

INPUT BIAS CURRENT CANCELLATION
The input stage base current of the OPA177 is internally
compensated with an equal and opposite cancellation current. The resulting input bias current is the difference between the input stage base current and the cancellation
current. This residual input bias current can be positive or
negative.
When the bias current is cancelled in this manner, the input
bias current and input offset current are approximately the
same magnitude. As a result, it is not necessary to balance
the DC resistance seen at the two input terminals (Figure 2).
A resistor added to balance the input resistances may actually increase offset and noise.

DESCRIPTION
The OPA121 is a precision monolithic dielectricallyisolated FET (Difet®) operational amplifier. Outstanding performance characteristics are now available for low-cost applications.

Case (TO·99) and Substrate

~

r-----------~--~7

Noise, bias current, voltage offset, drift, open-loop
gain, common-mode rejection, and power supply
rejection are superior to BIFET® amplifiers.
Very low bias current is obtained by dielectric
isolation with on-chip guarding.
Laser-trimming of thin-film resistors gives very low
offset and drift. Extremely low noise is achieved with
new circuit design techniques (patented). A new
cascode design allows high precision input specifications and reduced susceptibility to flicker noise.
Standard 741 pin configuration allows upgrading of
existing designs to higher performance levels.

The OPAl24 is a precision monolithic PET operational amplifier using a Difet (dielectrical isolation)
manufacturing process. Outstanding DC and AC performance characteristics allow its use in the most
critical instrumentation applications.
Bias current, noise, voltage offset, drift, open-loop
gain, common-mode rejection and power supply rejection are superior to BlFET and CMOS amplifiers.
Difet fabrication achieves extremely low input bias
currents without compromising input voltage noise
performance. Low input bias current is maintained
over a wide input common-mode voltage range with
unique cascode circuitry. This cascode design also
allows high precision input specifications and reduced
susceptibility to flicker noise. Laser trimming of thinfilm resistors gives very low offset and drift.
Compared to the popular OPAl II, the OPA124 gives
comparable performance and is available in an 8-pin
PDIP and 8-pin SOlC package.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

NOTE: No trim on sOle.

OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The OPAl24 offset voltage is laser-trimmed and will require
no further trim for most applications. In order to reduce
layout leakage errors, the offset adjust capability has been
removed from the SOIC versions (OPA124UB, OPA124UA,
and OPA124U). The PDIP versions (OPA124PB,
OPA124PA, and OPA124P) do have pins available for
offset adjustment. As with most amplifiers, externally trimming the remaining offset can change drift performance by
about O.3I1V1°C for each lOOI1V of adjusted offset. The
correct circuit configuration for offset adjust for the PDIP
packages is shown in Figure 1.

10kn to 1 MQ trim potentiometer.
(100kn recommended).

±I OmV typical trim ·range.

FIGURE 1. Offset Voltage Trim for PDIP packages.

Maximum Safe Current

INPUT PROTECTION
Conventional monolithic PET operational amplifiers require
external current-limiting resistors to protect their inputs
against destructive currents that can flow when input PET
gate-to-substrate isolation diodes are forward-biased. Most
BIPET amplifiers can be destroyed by the loss of -Vcc.
Unlike BIPET amplifiers, the Oifet OPAl24 requires input
current limiting resistors only if its .input voltage is greater
than 6V more negative than -Vcc. A lOkQ series resistor
will limit input current to a safe level with up to ± 15V input
levels, even if both supply voltages are lost (Figure 2).
Static damage can cause subtle changes in amplifier input
characteristics without necessarily destroying the device. In
precision operational amplifiers (both bipolar and PET types),
this may cause a noticeable degradation of offset voltage and
drift. Static protection is recommended when handling any
precision IC operational amplifier.

GUARDING AND SHIELDING
As in any situation where high impedances are involved,
careful shielding is required to reduce "hum" pickup in input
leads. If large feedback resistors are used, they should also
be shielded along with the external input circuitry.
Leakage currents across printed circuit boards can easily
exceed the bias current of the OPAI24. To avoid leakage
problems, the OPAI24 should be soldered directly into a
printed circuit board. Utmost care must be used in planning
the board layout. A "guard" pattern should completely
surround the high impedance input leads and should be
connected to a low impedance point which is at the signal
input potential.
The amplifier substrate should be connected to any input
shield or guard via pin 8 minimizing both leakage and noise
pickup (see Figure 3).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
NON-STANDARD PINOUT
The OPA129 uses a non-standard pinout to achieve lowest
possible input bias current. The negative power supply is
connected to pin 5-see Figure 1. This is done to reduce the
leakage current from the V-supply (pin 4 on conventional
op amps) to the op amp input terminals. With this new
pinout, sensitive inputs are separated from both power
supply pins.

Due to its laser-trimmed input stage, most applications do
not require external offset voltage trimming. If trimming is
required, the circuit shown in Figure 1 can be used. Power
supply voltages are divided down, filtered and applied to the
non-inverting input. The circuit shown is sensitive to variation in the supply voltages. Regulation can be added, if
needed.

To minimize surface leakage, a guard trace should completely surround the input terminals and other circuitry
connecting to the inputs of the op amp. The DIP package
should have a guard trace on both sides of the circuit board.
The guard ring should be driven by a circuit node equal in
potential to the op amp inputs-see Figure 2. The substrate,
pin 8, should also be connected to the circuit board guard to
assure that the amplifier is fully surrounded by the guard
potential. This minimizes leakage current and noise pick-up.
Careful shielding is required to reduce noise pickup. Shielding near feedback components may also help reduce noise
pick-up.

OFFSET VOLTAGE TRIM

Triboelectric effects (friction-generated charge) can be a
troublesome source of errors. Vibration of the circuit board,
input connectors and input cables can cause noise and drift.
Make the assembly as rigid as possible. Attach cables to
avoid motion and vibration. Special low noise or low leakage cables may help reduce noise and leakage current. Keep
all input connections as short possible. Surface-mount components may reduce circuit board size and allow a more rigid
assembly.

Leakage currents across printed circuit boards can easily
exceed the bias current of the OPA404. To avoid leakage,
utmost care must be used in planning the board layout. A
"guard" pattern should completely surround the high
impedance input leads and should be connected to a lowimpedance point which is at the signal input potential. (See
Figure 3).

INPUT PROTECTION
Conventional monlithic PET operational amplifiers require
external current-limiting resistors to protect their inputs against
destructive currents that can flow when input PET gate-tosubstrate isolation diodes are forward-biased. Most BlFET
amplifiers can be destroyed by the loss of -VCC"
Unlike BlFET amplifiers, the DifetoPA404 requires input
current limiting resistors only if its input voltage is greater
than 8 volts more negative than -Vcc. A 10ill series resistor
will limit the input current to a safe value with up to ±15V
input levels even if both supply voltages are lost. (See Figure
2 and Absolute Maximum Ratings).

HANDLING AND TESTING
Measuring the unusually low bias current of the OPA404 is
difficult without specialized test equipment; most commercial benchtop testers cannot accurately measure the OPA404
bias current. Low-leakage test sockets and special test fixtures are recommended if incoming inspection of bias current is to be performed.

To prevent surface leakage between pins, the DIP package
should not be handled by bare fingers. Oils and salts from
fmgerprints or careless handling can create leakage currents
that exceed the specified OPA404 bias currents.

If necessary, DIP packages and PC board assemblies can be
cleaned with Freon TF", baked for 30 minutes at 85°C,
rinsed with de-ionized water, and baked again for 30 minutes at 85°C. Surface contamination can be prevented by the
application of a high-quality conformal coating to the cleaned
PC board assembly.

APPLICATIONS CIRCUITS

Figures 5 through 11 are circuit diagrams of various applications for the OPA404.

BIAS CURRENT CHANGE
VERSUS COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE

The input bias currents of most popular BIPET operational
amplifiers are affected by common-mode voltage (Figure 4).
Higher input PET gate-to-drain voltage causes leakage and
ionization (bias) currents to increase. Due to its cascode
input stage, the extremely-low bias current of the OPA404
is not compromised by common-mode voltage.

This composite amplifier uses the OPA603 current-feedback op amp to
provide extended bandwidth and slew rate at high closed-loop gain.
The feedback loop is closed around the composite amp, preserving the
preCision input characteristics olthe OPA627/637. Use separate power
supply bypass capacitors for each op amp. See Application Bulletin

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The OPA604 offset voltage is laser-trimmed and will require
no further trim for most applications. As with most amplifiers, externally trimming the remaining offset can change
drift performance by about O.3J.lVrC for each 100J.lV of
adjusted offset. The OPA604 can replace many other amplifiers by leaving the external null circuit unconnected.
The OPA604 is unity-gain stable, making it easy to use in a
wide range of circuitry. Applications with noisy or high
impedance power supply lines may require decoupling capacitors close to the device pins. In most cases, a 1J.IF
tantalum capacitor at each power supply pin is adequate.

Op amp distortion can be considered an internal error source
which can be referred to the input. Figure 2 shows a circuit
which causes the op amp distortion to be 10 1 times greater
than normally produced by the op amp. The addition of R3
to the otherwise standard non-inverting amplifier configuration alters the feedback factor or noise gain of the circuit.
The closed-loop gain is unchanged, but the feedback available for error correction isreduced by a factor of 101. This
extends the measurement limit, including the effects of the
signal-source purity, by a factor of 101. Note that the input
signal and load applied to the op amp are the same as with
conventional feedback without R 3•
Validity of this technique can be verified by duplicating
measurements at high gain and/or high frequency where the
distortion is within the measurement capability of the test
equipment. Measurements for this data sheet were made
with the Audio Precision, System One which greatly simplifies such repetitive measurements. The measurement technique can, however, be performed with manual distortion
measurement instruments.

DISTORTION MEASUREMENTS
The distortion produced by the OPA604 is below the measurement lintit of virtually all commercially available equipment. A special test circuit, however, can be used to extend
the measurement capabilities.

The dynamic char/lcteristics of theOPA604 have been
optimized for commonly encountered gains, loads and operating conditions. The combination of low closed-loop gain
and capacitive load will decrease the phase margin and may
lead to gain peaki!1g or oscillations. Load capacitance reacts
with the op amp's open-loop output resistance to form an
additional pole in the feedback loop. Figure 3 shows various
circuits which preserve phase mllfgin with capacitive load.
Request Application Bulletin AB-028 for details of analysis
techuiques and applications circuits.
For the unity-gain buffer, Figure 3a, stability is preserved by
adding a phase-lead network, Rc and Ce. Voltage drop

across Rc will reduce output voltage swing with heavy
loads. An alternate circuit, Figure 3b, does not limit the
output with low load impedance. It provides a small amount
of positive feedback to reduce the net feedback factor. Input
impedance of this circuit falls at high frequency as op amp
gain rolloff reduces the bootstrap action on the compensation network.

will dominate. At a few thousand ohms source impedance
and above, the OPA604 will generally provide lower noise.
POWER DISSIPATION

The OPA604 is capable of driving a 6000 load with power 'II::t'
supply voltages up to ±24V. Internal power dissipation is
increased when operating at high power supply voltage. The CD
typical performance curve, Power Dissipation vs Power
Supply Voltage, shows quiescent dissipation (no signal or
no load) as well as dissipation with a worst case continuous
sine wave. Continuous high-level music signals tYPiCall. .
produce dissipation significantly less than worst case sin
waves.

o

~

Figures 3c and 3d show compensation techniques for
noninverting amplifiers. Like the follower circuits, the circuit in Figure 3d eliminates voltage drop due to load current,
but at the penalty of somewhat reduced input impedance at
high frequency.

o

Figures 3e and 3f show input lead compensation networks
for inverting and difference amplifier configurations.

Copper leadframe construction used in the OPA604 improves heat dissipation compared to conventional plastic
packages. To achieve best heat dissipation, solder the device
directly to the circuit board and use wide circuit board
traces.

NOISE PERFORMANCE

Op amp noise is described by two parameters-noise voltage and noise current. The voltage noise determines the
noise performance with low source impedance. Low noise
bipolar-input op amps such as the OPA27 and OPA37
provide very low voltage noise. But if source impedance is
greater than a few thousand ohms, the current noise of
bipolar-input op amps react with the source impedance and

SOUND QUALITY
The following discussion is provided, recognizing that
not all measured performance behavior explains or
correlates with listening tests by audio experts. The
design of the OPA604 included consideration of both
objective performance measurements, as well as an
awareness of widely held theory on the success and
failure of previous op amp designs.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality of an op amp is often the crucial
selection criteria--even when a data sheet claims exceptional distortion performance. By its nature, sound
quality is subjective. Furthermore, results of listening
tests can vary depending on application and circuit
confignration. Even experienced listeners in controlled
tests often reach different conclusions.
Many audio experts believe that the sound quality of a
high performance FET op amp is superior to that of
bipolar op amps. A possible reason for this is that
bipolar designs generate greater odd-order harmonics
than FETs. To the human ear, odd-order harmonics
have long been identified as sounding more unpleasant
than even-order harmonics. FETs, like vacuum tubes,
have a square-law I-V transfer function which is more
linear than the exponential transfer function of a bipolar transistor. As a direct result of this square-law
characteristic, FETs produce predominantly even-order harmonics. Figure 10 shows the transfer function
of a bipolar transistor and FET. Fourier transformation
of both transfer functions reveals the lower odd-order
harmonics of the FET amplifier stage.

THE OPA604 DESIGN
The OPA604 uses FETs throughout the signal path,
including the input stage, input-stage load, and the
important phase-splitting section of the output stage.
Bipolar transistors are used where their attributes,
such as current capability are important and where
their transfer characteristics have minimal impact.

The topology consists of a single folded-cascode gain
stage followed by a unity-gain output stage. Differential input transistors I I and 12 are special largegeometry, P-channel JFETs. Input stage current is a
relatively high 800J.IA, providing high
transconductance and reducing voltage noise. Laser
trimming of stage currents and careful attention to
symmetry yields a nearly symmetrical slew rate of

±25V/J.IS.

w

012345
Frequency (kHz)

The JFET input stage holds input bias current to
approximately 50pA or roughly 3000 times lower
than common bipolar-input audio op amps. This dramatically reduces noise with high-impedance circuitry.
The drains of II and 12 are cascoded by QI and Q2,
driving the input stage loads, FETs 13 and h Distortion reduction circuitry (patented) linearizes the openloop response and increases voltage gain. The 20MHz
bandwidth of the OPA604 further reduces distortion
through the user-connected feedback loop.
The output stage consists of a JFET phase-splitter
loaded into high speed all-NPN output drivers. Output
transistors are biased by a special circuit to prevent
cutoff, even with full output swing into 6000 loads.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The OPA606 offset voltage is laser·trimmed and will require
no further trim for most applications. As with most amplifiers, externally trimming the remaining offset can change
drift performance by about o.5~v/oc for each millivolt of
adjusted offset. Note that the trim (Figure 1) is similar to
operational amplifiers such as LF156 and OP-16. The
OPA606 can replace most other amplifiers by leaving the
external null circuit unconnected.

INPUT PROTECTION

Noninverting

Static damage can cause subtle changes in amplifier input
characteristics without necessarily destroying the device. In
precision operational amplifiers (both bipolar and PET types),
this may cause a noticeable degradation of offset voltage and
drift. Static protection is recommended when handling any
precision IC operational amplifier.
If the input voltage exceeds the amplifier's negative supply
voltage, input current limiting must be used to prevent
damage.

CIRCUIT LAYOUT

Wideband amplifiers require good circuit layout techniques
and adequate power supply bypassing. Short, direct connections and good high frequency bypass capacitors (ceramic or
tantalum) will help avoid noise pickup or oscillation.
GUARDING AND SHIELDING
As in any situation where high impedances are involved,
careful shielding is required to reduce "hum" pickup in input
leads. If large feedback resistors are used, they should also
be shielded along with the external input circuitry.
Leakage currents across printed circuit boards can easily
exceed the bias current of the OPA606. To avoid leakage
problems, it is recommended that the signal input lead of the
OPA606 be wired to a Teflon@ standoff. If the OPA606 is to
be soldered directly into a printed circuit board, utmost care
must be used in planning the board layout.
A "guard" pattern should completely surround the high
impedance input leads and should be connected to a low
impedance point which is at the signal input potential (see
Figure 3).

DESCRIPTION
The OPA620 is a precision wideband monolithic operational amplifier featuring very fast settling time, low
differential gain and phase error, and high output current drive capability.

used in all op amp applications requiring high speed
and precision.
Low noise and distortion, wide bandwidth, and high
linearity make this amplifier suitable for RF and video
applications. Short-circuit protection is provided by an
internal current-limiting circuit.

The OPA620 is internally compensated for unity-gain
stability. This amplifier has a very low offset, fully
symmetrical differential input due to its "classical"
operational amplifier circuit architecture. Unlike "current-feedback" amplifier designs, the OPA620 may be

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DISCUSSION OF PERFORMANCE

The OPA620 provides a level of speed and precision not
previously attainable in monolithic form. Unlike current
feedback amplifiers, the OPA620's design uses a "Classical" operational amplifier architecture and can therefore be
used in all traditional operational amplifier applications.
While it is true that current feedback amplifiers can provide
wider bandwidth at higher gains, they offer many disadvantages. The asymmetrical input characteristics of current
feedback amplifiers (i.e. one input is a low impedance)
prevents them from being used in a variety of applications.
In addition, unbalanced inputs make input bias current errors
difficult to correct. Bias current cancellation through matching of inverting and non-inverting input resistors is impossible because the input bias currents are uncorrelated. Current noise is also asymmetrical and is usually significantly
higher on the inverting input. Perhaps most important, settling time to 0.01 % is often extremely poor due to internal
design tradeoffs. Many current feedback designs exhibit

o

settling times to 0.01 % in excess of 10 microseconds even
though 0.1 % settling times are reasonable. Such amplifiers
are completely inadequate for fast settling 12-bit applications.
The OPA620's "Classical" operational amplifier architecture employs true differential and fully symmetrical inputs
to eliminate these troublesome problems. All traditional
circuit configurations and op amp theory apply to the
OPA620. The use of low-drift thin-film resistors allows
internal operating currents to be laser-trimmed at waferlevel to optimize AC performance such as bandwidth and
settling time, as well as DC parameters such as input offset
voltage and drift. The result is a wideband, high-frequency
monolithic operational amplifier with a gain-bandwitdth
product of 200MHz, a 0.01 % settling time of 25ns, and an
input offset voltage of lOOIlY.
WIRING PRECAUTIONS
Maximizing the OPA620's capability requires some wiring
precautions and high-frequency layout techniques. Oscilla-

FIGURE 5. Short-Circuit Current vs Temperature.
CAPACITIVE LOADS
The OPA620's output stage has been optimized to drive
resistive loads as low as 500. Capacitive loads, however,
will decrease the amplifier's phase margin which may cause
high frequency peaking or oscillations. Capacitive loads
greater than 20pF should be buffered by connecting a small
resistance, usually 50 to 250, in series with the output as
shown in Figure 6. This is particularly important when
driving high capacitance loads such as flash AID converters.

(Rs typically 50 to 250)

In general, capacitive loads should be minimized for optimum high frequency performance. Coax lines can be driven
if the cable is properly tenninated. The capacitance of coax
cable (29pF/foot for RG-58) will not load the amplifier
when the coaxial cable or transmission line is tenninated in
its characteristic impedance.

COMPENSATION
The OPA620 is internally compensated and is stable in unity
gain with a phase margin of approximately 60°. However,
the unity gain buffer is the most demanding circuit configuration for loop stability and oscillations are most likely to
occur in this gain. If possible, use the device in a noise gain
of two or greater to improve phase margin and reduce the
susceptibility to oscillation. (Note that, from a stability
standpoint, an inverting gain of -IVN is equivalent to a
noise gain of 2.) Gain and phase response for other gains are
shown in the Typical Performance Curves.
The high-frequency response of the OPA620 in a good
layout is very flat with frequency. However, some circuit
configurations such as those where large feedback resistances are used, can produce high-frequency gain peaking.
This peaking can be minimized by connecting a small
capacitor in parallel with the feedback resistor. This capacitor compensates for the closed-loop, high frequency, transfer
function zero that results from the time constant formed by
the input capacitance of the amplifier (typically 2pF after PC
board mounting), and the input and feedback resistors. The
selected compensation capacitor may be a trimmer, a fixed
capacitor, or a planned PC board capacitance. The capacitance value is strongly dependent on circuit layout and
closed-loop gain. Using small resistor values will preserve
the phase margin and avoid peaking by keeping the break
frequency of this zero sufficiently high. When high closedloop gains are required, a three-resistor attenuator (tee network) is recommended to avoid using large value resistors
with large time constants.
SETTLING TIME
Settling time is defined as the total time required, from the
input signal step, for the output to settle to within the
specified error band around the final value. This error band
is expressed as a percentage of the value of the output
transition, a 2V step. Thus, settling time to 0.01 % requires
an. error band of ±200!1V centered around the final value of
2V.
Settling time, specified in an inverting gain of one, occurs in
ouly 25ns to 0.01% for a 2V step, making the OPA620 one
of the fastest settling monolithic amplifiers commercially
available. Settling time increases with closed-loop gain and
output voltage change as described in the Typical Performance Curves. Preserving settling time requires critical attention to the details as mentioned under "Wiring Precautions."
The amplifier also recovers quickly from input overloads.
Overload recovery time to linear operation from a 50%
overload is typically ouly 30ns.

In practice, settling time measurements on the OPA620
prove to be very difficult to perform. Accurate measurement
is next to impossible in all but the very best equipped labs.
Among other things, a fast flat-top generator and high speed
oscilloscope are needed. Unfortunately, fast flat-top generators, which settle to 0.01% in sufficient time, are scarce and
expensive. Fast oscilloscopes, however, are more commonly
available. For best results a sampling oscilloscope is recommended. Sampling scopes typically have bandwidths that
are greater than 1GHz and very low capacitance inputs.
They also exhibit faster settling times in response to signals
that would tend to overload a real-time oscilloscope.
Figure 7 shows the test circuit used to measure settling time
for the OPA620. This approach uses a 16-bit sampling
oscilloscope to monitor the input and output pulses. These
waveforms are captured by the sampling scope, averaged,
and then subtracted from each other in software to produce
the error signal. This technique eliminates the need for the
traditional "false-summing junction," which adds extra parasitic capacitance. Note that instead of an additional flat-top
generator, this technique uses the scope's built-in calibration
source as the input signal.

DIFFERENTIAL GAIN AND PHASE
Differential Gain (DG) and Differential Phase (DP) are
among the more important specifications for video applications. DG is defined as the percent change in closed-loop
gain over a specified change in output voltage level. DP is
defined as the change in degrees of the closed-loop phase
over the same output voltage change. Both DG and DP are
specified at the NTSC sub-carrier frequency of 3.58MHz.
DG and DP increase with closed-loop gain and output
voltage transition as shown in the Typical Performance
Curves. All measurements were performed using a Tektronix
model VM700 Video Measurement Set.
DISTORTION

The OPA620's Harmonic Distortion characteristics into a
50n load are shown vs frequency and power output in the
Typical Performance Curves. Distortion can be further improved by increasing the load resistance as illustrated in
Figure 8. Remember to include the contribution of the
feedback resistance when calculating the effective load resistance seen by the amplifier.
Two-tone, third-order intermodulation distortion (IM) is an
important parameter for many RF amplifier applications.
Figure 9 shows the OPA620's two-tone, third-order IM
intercept vs frequency. For these measurements, tones were
spaced IMHz apart. This curve is particularly useful for
determiuing the magnitude of the third-order 1M products as
a function of frequency, load resistance, and gain. For
example, assume that the application requires the OPA620
to operate in a gain of +2VN and drive 2Vp-p into 50n at
a frequency of IOMHz. Referring to Figure 9 we find that the
intercept point is +40dBm. The magnitude of the third-order
IM products can now be easily calculated from the expression:

o

For this case OPI'P = 40dBm, Po = IOdBm, and the third- N
order IMD = 2(40 - 10) = 60dB below either IOdBm tone. CD
The OPA620's low IMD makes the device an excellent
choice for a variety of RF signal processing applications.

SPICE MODELS
Computer simulation using SPICE is often useful when
analyzing the performance of analog circuits and systems.
This is particularly true for Video and RF amplifier circuits
where parasitic capacitance and inductance can have a major
effect on circuit performance. SPICE models using MicroSim
Corporation's PSpice are available for the OPA620. Request
Burr-Brown Application Note AN-167.

The inherent reliability of a semiconductor device is controlled by the design, materials and fabrication of the device
-it .cannot be improved by testing. However, the use of
environmental screening can eliminate the majority of those
units which would fail early in their lifetimes (infant mortality) through the application of carefully selected accelerated
stress levels. Burr-Brown "Q-Screening" provides environmental screening to our standard industrial products, thus
enhancing reliability. The screening illustrated in the following table is performed to selected levels similar to those of
MIL-STD-883.

 standoffs located close to the amplifier's pins can be used to
mount feedback components.
4) Resistors used in feedback networks should have values
of a few hundred ohms for best performance. Shunt capacitance problems limit the acceptable resistance range to about
1ill on the high end and to a value that is within the
amplifier's output drive limits on the low end. Metal film
and carbon resistors will be satisfactory, but wirewound
resistors (even ''non-inductive'' types) are absolutely unacceptable in high-frequency circuits.
5) Surface mount components (chip resistors, capacitors,
etc) have low lead inductance and are therefore strongly
recommended. Circuits using all surface mount components

perfonnance. The parasitic package inductance and capacitance for the SOIC is lower than the both the Cerdip and 8lead Plastic DIP.
6) Avoid overloading the output. Remember that output
current must be provided by the amplifier to drive its own
feedback network as well as to drive its load. Lowest
distortion is achieved with high impedance loads.
7) Don't forget that these amplifiers use ±SV supplies.
Although they will operate perfectly well with +SV and
-S.2V, use of ±lSV supplies will destroy the part.

The internal protection diodes are designed to withstand
2.5kV (using Human Body Model) and will provide adequate ESD protection for most nonnal handling procedures.
However, static damage can cause subtle changes in amplifier input characteristics without necessarily destroying the
device. In precision operational amplifiers, this may cause a
noticeable degradation of offset voltage and drift. Therefore,
static protection is strongly recommended when handling
the OPA621.

8) Standard commercial test equipment has not been designed to test devices in the OPA62 I 's speed range. Benchtop op amp testers and ATE systems will require a special
test head to successfully test these amplifiers.

9) Terminate transmission line loads. Untenninated lines,
such as coaxial cable, can appear to the amplifier to be a
capacitive or inductive load. By tenninating a transmission
line with its characteristic impedance, the amplifier's load
then appears purely resistive.

OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The OPA62 I 's input offset voltage is laser-trimmed and will
require no further adjustment for most applications. However, if additional adjustment is needed, the circuit in Figure
1 can be used without degrading offset drift with temperature. Avoid external adjustment whenever possible since
extraneous noise, such as power supply noise, can be inadvertently coupled into the amplifier's inverting input tenninal. Remember that additional offset errors can be created by
the amplifier's input bias currents. Whenever possible, match
the impedance seen by both inputs as is shown with R3. This
will reduce input bias current errors to the amplifier's offset
current, which is typically only 0.21JA.

INPUT PROTECTION
Static damage has been well recognized for MOSFET devices, but any semiconductor device deserves protection
from this potentially damaging source. The OPA621 incorporates on-chip ESD protection diodes as shown in Figure 2.
This eliminates the need for the user to add external protection diodes, which can add capacitance and degrade AC
perfonnance.
All pins on the OPA621 are internally protected from ESD
by means of a pair of back-to-back reverse-biased diodes to
either power supply as shown. These diodes will begin to
conduct when the input voltage exceeds either power supply
by about 0.7V. This situation can occur with loss of the
amplifier's power supplies while a signal source is still
present. The diodes can typically withstand a continuous
current of 30mA without destruction. To insure long tenn
reliability, however, diode current should be externally limited to lOrnA or so whenever possible.

OUTPUT DRIVE CAPABILITY
The OPA621's design uses large output devices and has
been optimized to drive SOO and 7S0 resistive loads. The
device can easily drive 6Vp-p into a SOO load. This highoutput drive capability makes the OPA621 an ideal choice
for a wide range of RF, IF, and video applications. In many
cases, additional buffer amplifiers are unneeded.
Internal current-limiting circuitry limits output current to
about ISOmA at 2S0C. This prevents destruction from accidental shorts to common and eliminates the need for external
current-limiting circuitry. Although the device can withstand momentary shorts to either power supply, it is not
recommended.
Many demanding high-speed applications such as ADC/
DAC buffers require op amps with low wideband output
impedance. For example, low output impedance is essential
when driving the signal-dependent capacitances at the inputs
of flash AID converters. As shown in Figure 3, the OPA621
maintains very low closed-loop output impedance over frequency. Closed-loop output impedance increases with frequency since loop gain is decreasing with frequency.

package. The variation of short-circuit current with temperature is shown in Figure 5.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The OPA621 does not require a heat sink for operation in
most environments. The use of a heat sink, however, will
reduce the internal thermal rise and will result in cooler,
more reliable operation. At extreme temperatures and under
full load conditions a heat sink is necessary. See "Maximum
Power Dissipation" curve, Figure 4.
The internal power dissipation is given by the equation P D=
PDQ + PDL' where PDQ is the quiescent power dissipation and
PDL is the power dissipation in the output stage due to the
load. (For±Vcc =±5V, PDQ = lOV X28mA = 28OmW, max).
For the case where the amplifier is driving a grounded load
(1\) with a DC voltage (±VOUT) the maximum value of P DL
occurs at ±VOUT = ±Vcel2, and is equal to PDL' max =
(±Vcc)2/41\. Note that it is the voltage across the output
transistor, and not the load, that determines the power
dissipated in the output stage.
When the output is shorted to common P DL = 5V X 150mA
= 750mW. Thus, P D = 280mW + 750mW = lW. Note that
the short-circuit condition represents the maximum amount
of internal power dissipation that can be generated. Thus, the
"Maximum Power Dissipation" curve starts at lW and is
derated based on a 175°C maximum junction temperature

In general, capacitive loads should be minimized for optimum high frequency performance. Coax lines can be driven
if the cable is properly terminated. The capacitance of coax
cable (29pF/foot for RG-58) will not load the amplifier
when the coaxial cable or transmission line is terminated in
its characteristic impedance.

CAPACITIVE LOADS
The OPA621's output stage has been optimized to drive
resistive loads as low as son. Capacitive loads, however,
will decrease the amplifier's phase margin which may cause
high frequency peaking or oscillations. Capacitive loads
greater than 15pF should be buffered by connecting a small
resistance, usually 5n to 25n, in series with the output as
shown in Figure 6. This is particularly important when
driving high capacitance loads such as flash AID converters.

likely to occur in these gains. If possible, use the device in
a noise gain greater than three to improve phase margin and
reduce the susceptibility to oscillation. (Note that, from a
stability standpoint, an inverting gain of -2VN is equivalent
to a noise gain of 3.) Gain and phase response for other gains
are shown in the Typical Perfonnance Curves.
The high-frequency response of the OPA621 in a good
layout is flat with frequency for higher-gain circuits. However, low-gain circuits and configurations where large feedback resistances are used, can produce high-frequency gain
peaking. This peaking can be minimized by connecting a
small capacitor in parallel with the feedback resistor. This
capacitor compensates for the closed-loop, high frequency,
transfer function zero that results from the time constant
fonned by the input capacitance of the amplifier (typically
2pF after PC board mounting), and the input and feedback
resistors. The selected compensation capacitor may be a
trimmer, a fixed capacitor, or a planned PC board capacitance. The capacitance value is strongly dependent on circuit
layout and closed-loop gain. Using small resistor values will
preserve the phase margin and avoid peaking by keeping the
break frequency of this zero sufficiently high. When high
closed-loop gains are required, a three-resistor attenuator
(tee network) is recommended to avoid using large value
resistors with large time constants.

The amplifier also recovers quickly from input overloads.
Overload recovery time to linear operation from a 50%
overload is typically only 3Ons.

They also exhibit faster settling times in response to signals
that would tend to overload a real-time oscilloscope.

Figure 7 shows the test circuit used to measure settling time
for the OPA621. This approach uses a 16-bit sampling
oscilloscope to monitor the input and output pulses. These
wavefonns are captured by the sampling scope, averaged,
and then subtracted from each other in software to produce
the error signal. This technique eliminates the need for the
traditional "false-summing junction," which adds extra parasitic capacitance. Note that instead of an additional flat-top
generator, this technique uses the scope's built-in calibration
source as the input signaL

SETTLING TIME

Settling time is defined as the total time required, from the
input signal step, for the output to settle to within the
specified error band around the final value. This error band
is expressed as a percentage of the value of the output
transition, a 2V step. Thus, settling time to 0.0 I % requires
an error band of ±200IlV centered around the final value of
2V.
Settling time, specified in an inverting gain of two, occurs in
only 25ns to 0.01 % for a 2V step, making the OPA621 one
of the fastest settling monolithic amplifiers commercially
available. Settling time increases with closed-loop gain and
output voltage change as described in the Typical Perfonnance Curves. Preserving settling time requires critical atten-

DIFFERENTIAL GAIN AND PHASE
Differential Gain (OG) and Differential Phase (OP) are
among the more important specifications for video applications. OG is defined as the percent change in closed-loop
gain over a specified change in output voltage leveL OP is
defined as the change in degrees of the closed-loop phase
over the same output voltage change. Both OG and OP are
specified at the NTSC sub-carrier frequency of 3.58MHz.
OG and OP increase with closed-loop gain and output
voltage transition as shown in the Typical Perfonnance
Curves. All measurements were perfonned using a Tektronix
model VM700 Video Measurement Set.

DISCUSSION OF
PERFORMANCE
Requiring very low quiescent power, the OPA623 achieves
its exceptional AC performance by using the current-feedback topology. This wide-band monolithic operational amplifier is designed for gain applications of up to 20VN,
where power and cost are of primary concern.
Operating from a ±5V supply, the OPA623 consumes only
40mW, yet maintains a 350MHz large-signal bandwidth at
VOUT = 2.8Vp-p and a 2100V/J.IS slew rate. Benefiting from
the current-feedback architecture, the OPA623 offers stable
operation with no compensation capacitor, even at unity
gain.
With its low differential gain and phase errors of typically
0.12% and 0.05° at4.43MHz, the OPA623 meets the performance and cost requirements of high-volume broadcast and
HDTV applications.
The OPA623's large-signal bandwidth, high slew rate, excellent pulse response, and high drive capabilities are features well-suited to wide-band RGB video applications, RF
instruments, and even high-speed digital communication
systems.

For most circuit configurations, the OPA623 current-feedback op amp can be treated like a conventional op amp. As
with a voltage-feedback op amp, the feedback network
connected to the inverting input controls the closed-loop
gain. But with a current-feedback op amp, the impedance of
the feedback network also controls the open-loop gain and
frequency response. Feedback resistor values can be selected to provide nearly constant closed-loop bandwidth
over a wide range of gains and flat gain adjustment vs
frequency.
DESCRIPTION

_

A wide-band operational transconductance amplifier ( O T A ) "
and an output buffer are the main blocks of a currentfeedback op amp. The simplified circuit diagram is illus- (/)
trated in Figure 2. The OTA consists of a complementary
unity-gain amplifier and a subsequent current mirror. The
input buffer is connected across the inputs of the op amp.
The voltage at the high-impedance +In terminal is transferred to the -In terminal at a low impedance. The current
mirrors reflect any current flowing into or out of the +In
terminal by a fixed ratio to the high-impedance OTA output,
which is directly connected to the complementary output
buffer. It is designed to drive low-impedance transmission

pins. In most cases O.l¢' ceramic capacitors are adequate.
The OPA627/637 is capable of high output current (in
excess of 45mA). Applications with low impedance loads or
capacitive loads with fast transient signals demand large
currents from the power supplies. Larger bypass capacitors
such as I¢' solid tantalum capacitors may improve dynamic
performance in these applications.
INPUT BIAS CURRENT
Oifet fabrication of the OPA627/637 provides very low
input bias current. Since the gate current of a FET doubles
approx:inuitelyevery lOoC, to achieve lowest input bias
current, the die temperature should be kept as low as possible. The high speed and therefore higher quiescent current
of the OPA627/637 can lead to higher chip temperature. A
simple press-on heat sink such as the Burr-Brown model
807HS (TO-99 metal pacIalge) can reduce chip temperature
by approximately 15°C, lowering the I" to one-third its
warmed-up value. The 807HS heat sink can also reduce lowfrequency voltage noise caused by air currents and thermoelectric effects. See the data sheet on the 807HS for details.

Temperature rise in the plastic DIP and SOlC packages can
be miuimized by soldering the device to the circuit board.
Wide copper traces will also help dissipate heat.
The OPA627/637 may also be operated at reduced power
supply voltage to minimize power dissipation and temperature rise. Using ±5V power supplies reduces power dissipation to one-third of that at ±l5V. This reduces the I" of TO99 metal package devices to approximately one-fourth the
value at ±15V.
Leakage currents between printed circuit board traces can
easily exceed the input bias current of the OPA627/637. A
circuit board "guard" pattern (Figure 4) reduces leakage
effects. By surrounding critical high impedance input circuitry with a low impedance circuit connection at the same
potential, leakage current will flow harmlessly to the lowimpedance node. The case connection (TO-99 metal pack-

age only) may also be driven at guard potential to minimize
any leakage which might occur from the input pins to the
case. The case is not internally connected to -Vs'
Input bias current may also be degraded by improper handling or cleauing. Contamination from handling parts and
circuit boards may be removed with cleaning solvents and
deiouized water. Each rinsing operation should be followed
by a 30-minute bake at 85°C.
Many FET-input op amps exhibit large changes in input bias
current with changes in input voltage. Input stage cascode
circuitry makes the input bias current of the OPA627/637
virtually constant with wide common-mode voltage changes.

FIGURE 6. Driving Large Capacitive Loads.
PHASE-REVERSAL PROTECTION
The OPA627/637 has internal phase-reversal protection.
Many FET-input op amps exhibit a phase reversal when the
input is driven beyond its linear common-mode range. This
is most often encountered in non-inverting circuits when the
input is driven below -12V, causing the output to reverse
into the positive rail. The input circuitry of the OPA627/637
does not induce phase reversal with excessive commonmode voltage, so the output limits into the appropriate rail.

(2)

OUTPUT OVERLOAD
When the inputs to the OPA627/637 are overdriven, the
output voltage of the OPA627/637 smoothly limits at approximately 2.5V from the positive and negative power
supplies. If driven to the negative swing limit, recovery
takes approximately 50Ons. When the output is driven into
the positive limit, recovery takes approximately 6118. Output
recovery of the OPA627 can be improved using the output
clamp circuit shown in Figure 5. Diodes at the inverting
input prevent degradation of input bias current.

CAPACITIVE LOADS
As with any high-speed op amp, best dynamic performance
can be achieved by minimizing the capacitive load. Since a
load capacitance presents a decreasing impedance at higher
frequency, a load capacitance which is easily driven by a
slow op amp can cause a high-speed op amp to perform
poorly. See the typical curves showing settling times as a
function of capacitive load. The lower bandwidth of the
OPA627 makes it the better choice for driving large capacitive loads. Figure 6 shows a circuit for driving very large
load capacitance. This circuit's two-pole response can also
be used to sharply limit system bandwidth. This is often
useful in reducing the noise of systems which do not require
the full bandwidth of the OPA627.

INPUT PROTECTION

The inputs of the OPA627/637 are protected for voltages
between +Vs + 2V and -Vs - 2V. If the input voltage can
exceed these limits, the amplifier should be protected. The
diode clamps shown in Figure 7a will prevent the input
voltage from exceeding one forward diode voltage drop
beyond the power supplies-well within the safe limits. If
the input source can deliver current in excess of the maximum forward current of the protection diodes, use a series
resistor, R,., to limit the current. Be aware that adding
resistance to the input will increase noise. The 4nV/-mz
theoretical thermal noise of a lill resistor will add to the
4.5nVl-mz noise of the OPA627/637 (by the square-root of
the sum of the squares), producing a total noise of 6nVI.yHz.
Resistors below l00Q add negligible noise.

times larger than the input bias current of the OPA627/637.
Leakage current of these diodes is typically much lower and
may be adequate in many applications. Light falling on the
junction of the protection diodes can dramatically increase
leakage current, so common glass-packaged diodes should
be shielded from ambient light. Very low leakage can be
achieved by using a diode-connected PET as shown. The
2N4117 A is specified at 1pA and its metal case shields the
junction from light.

Leakage current in the protection diodes can increase the
total input bias current of the circuit. The specified maximum leakage current for commonly used diodes such as the
IN4148 is approximately 25nA~more than a thousand

Sometimes input protection is required on l/V converters of
inverting amplifiers (Figure 7b). Although in normal operation, the voltage at the summing junction will be near zero
(equal to the offset voltage of the amplifier), large input
transients may cause this node to exceed 2V beyond the

(A)

When used as a unity-gain buffer, large common-mode input voltage steps
produce transient variations in input-~tage currents. This causes the rising
edge to be slower and falling edges to be faster than nominal slew rates
observed in higher-gain circuits.

DISCUSSION OF
PERFORMANCE
The OPA628's classical operational amplifier architecture
employs true differential and fully symmetrical inputs allowing optimal performance in either inverting or non-inverting
circuit applications. All traditional circuit configurations and
op amp theory apply to the OPA628. The use oflow drift thin
film resistors allows internal operating currents to be laser
trimmed at wafer level to optiruize AC performance such as
distortion, bandwidth and settling time, as well as DC parameters such as input offset voltage. The result is a' wideband,
high frequency monolithic operational amplifier with a gainbandwidth product of 150MHz, a spurious free dynaruic
range (SFDR) of 90dB, and input offset voltage of 5001lV.
The layout considerations described in the "Printed Circuit
Board Guidelines" section must be followed to achieve the
best possible performance of the OPA628.

DIFFERENTIAL GAIN AND PHASE
Differential Gain (DG) and Differential Phase (DP) are
among the more important specifications for video applications. DG is defined as the percent change in closed-loop
gain over a specified change in output voltage level. DP is
defined as the change in degrees of the closed-loop phase
over the same output voltage change. Both DG and DP are
specified at the NTSC sub-carrier frequency of 3.58MHz and
the PAL subcarrier of 4.43MHz. All NTSC measurements
were performed using a Tektronix model VM700A Video
Measurement Set. All PAL measurements were performed
using a Rohde & Schwarz Video Analyze! UAF.
DG and DP of the OPA628 were measured with the amplifier
in a gain of +2VN with 750. input impedance and the output
back-terruinated in 750.. The input signal selected from the
generator was a OV to 1.4V modulated ramp with sync pulse.

With these conditions the test circuit shown in Figure 1
delivered a lOOIRE modulated ramp to the 750. input of the
video analyzer. The signal averaging feature of the analyzer
was used to establish a reference against which the performance of the amplifier was measured. Signal averaging was
also used to measure the DG and DP of the test signal in order
to eliminate the generator's contribution to measured amplifier performance. Typical performance of the OPA628 is
0.015% differential gain and 0.015 0 differential phase to
both NTSC and PAL standards. Increasing the closed loop
gain degrades the DP and DG.

GAIN FLATNESS
Small signal ±O.ldB gain flatness can be achieved up to
30MHz in a non-inverting gain of +2VN through careful
layout of the printed circuit board and frequency shaping of
the feedback network. Frequency shaping is achieved empirically by placing a small capacitor in parallel with either
the feedback resistor or the input resistor of the OPA628 to
compensate for printed circuit parasitic capacitance. A capacitor in the range of approximately I pF to 20pF is suggested. Printed circuit board layout design will deterruine if
the capacitor should be placed across the feedback resistor or
the input resistor.
Small signal ±O.ldB gain flatness of greater than 30MHz can
be achieved at a gain of +lVN. To eliruinate the effects of
package lead inductance, a small value resistor should be
included in the feedback path. Maxiruizing gain flatness for
a particular layout requires optiruization of the feedback
resistor; an approximate value is 500. to 750..

DISTORTION
The OPA628's Harmouic Distortion characteristics when
driving a lOOn load are shown vs frequency and vs voltage
output in the Typical Performance Curves. Distortion can be
further optiruized by decreasing output loading as also shown
in Typical Performance Curves. Include the contribution of

SPICE MODELS
Computer simulation using SPICE is often useful when
analyzing the performance of analog circuits and systems.
This is particularly true for Video and RF amplifier circuits
where parasitic capacitance and inductance can have a major
effect on circuit performance. SPICE models are available
for the OPA628. Contact Burr-Brown Applications Department to receive a SPICE diskette.
RELIABILITY DATA
Reliability reports are available upon request for each of the
package options offered.

DEMONSTRATION BOARDS
Contact Burr-Brown Applications Department for availability of demonstration boards for the OPA628. There are
separate demonstration boards for the DIP and SOIC packages. These demonstration boards use the PC board layouts
shown in Figures lOa and lOb. They are carefully designed
for optimum low distortion performance as described in the
wiring precaution section.

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD GUIDELINES
The printed circuit board layout is critical to obtaining the
full performance of the OPA628, particularly optimum distortion and gain flatness. The guidelines below should be
employed to design the OPA628 printed circuit board. Conceptual layouts illustrating these guidelines for the DIP and
SOIC packages are shown in Figures lOa and lOb.

I. Establish the primary ground plane on the IC side of the
pc board. The primary ground planeis the lowest impedance ground plane, it should be as wide as possible with
minimal interruptions. Connect all unused space on both
sides of the board to the ground plane. The ground plane
should extend beneath the body of the IC on both sides of
the board. A 2-ounce copper ground plane is recommended. The input signal ground return, the load return,
and the power supply common should all be connected to
the same physical point to avoid ground loops which can
cause unwanted feedback.

'!f!.

2. The entire physical circuit should be as small as p r a c t i c a l "
All signal and power supply paths should be as short an
direct as .possible to minimize stray capacitance and
inductance which are detririlent8I to high frequency per- C/)
formance. Minimize signal trace impedance by keeping
traces as wide and short as possible. Stray capacitance
should be minimized, especially at high impedance nodes
such as the amplifier's input terminals. In addition, stray :::::i
signal coupling from the output of the amplifier back to Il.
:::i
the input should be minimized.

a:
w

u::

3. In general, the use of surface mount components improves
performance over through-hole components by minimizing parasitics. (However, it should be noted that use of the
DIP version of the OPA628 will not compromise amplifier performance.) If circuit elements with leads are used,
the leads should be kept as short as possible (6mm) to
minimize lead inductance. Resistors used in feedback
networks should have values of a few hundred ohms for
best performance. Shunt capacitance problems limit the
acceptable resistance range to about 1,0000 on the high
end and to a value that is within the amplifier's output
drive limits on the low end. Remember that output current
must be provided by the a)lJ.plifier to drive its own feedback network as well as to drive its load.
4. As with any low distortion, wide bandwidth amplifier,
power supply bypassing is extremely critical and must
always be used. The system power supplies should be
well bypassed at the board level with a minimum of 2.2}lF
tantalum capacitors. In addition, all four power supply
leads should be locally bypassed to ground as close as
possible to the atnplifier pins. Surface mount 0.1}lF capacitOrs will provide the best performance for local bypassing. Johanson 0;1}lF capacitors (part number
2S0RI8B 104zP4W) are used on the OPA628 demonstration board. All power supply bypass capacitors should be
low impedance designs and should be located on the
primary ground plane side of the pc board for the lowest
impedance connection to ground. Properly bypassed and
modulation free power supply lines allow optimum amplifier performance.
5. The OPA628 should.be soldered directly into the pc board
for best performance.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DISCUSSION OF PERFORMANCE

The OPA640 provides a level of speed and precision not
previously attainable in monolithic form. Unlike current
feedback amplifiers, the OPA640's design uses a "Classical" operational amplifier architecture and can therefore be
used in all traditional operational amplifier applications.
While it is true that current feedback amplifiers can provide
wider bandwidth at higher gains, they offer some disadvantages. The asymmetrical input characteristics of current
feedback amplifiers (i.e. one input is a low impedance)
prevents them from being used in a variety of applications.
In addition, unbalanced inputs make input bias current errors
difficult to correct. Cancelling offset errors (due to input bias
currents) through matching of inverting and non-inverting
input resistors is impossible because the input bias currents
are uncorrelated. Current noise is also asymmetrical and is
usually significantly higher on the inverting input. Perhaps
most important, settling time to 0.01 % is often extremely
poor due to internal design tradeoffs. Many current feedback
designs exhibit settling times to 0.01 % in excess of 10
microseconds even though 0.1 % settling times are reasonable. Such amplifiers are completely inadequate for fast
settling 12-bit applications.
The OPA640's "Classical" operational amplifier architecture employs true differential and fully symmetrical inputs
to eliminate these troublesome problems. All traditional
circuit configurations and op amp theory apply to the
OPA640.
WIRING PRECAUTIONS
Maximizing the OPA640's capability requires some wiring
precautions and high-frequency layout techniques. Oscillation, ringing, poor bandwidth and settling, gain peaking, and

::i
a..
::i

instability are typical problems plaguing all high-speed
amplifiers when they are improperly used. In general, all
printed circuit board conductors should be wide to provide
low resistance, low impedance signal paths. They should
also be as short as possible. The entire physical circuit
should be as small as practical. Stray capacitances should be
minimized, especially at high impedance nodes, such as the
amplifier's input terminals. Stray signal coupling from the
output or power supplies to the inputs should be minimized.
All circuit element leads should be no longer than 114 inch
(6mm) to minimize lead inductance, and low values of
resistance should be used. This will minimize time constants
formed with the circuit capacitances and will eliminate
stray, parasitic circuits.
Grounding is the most important application consideration
for the OPA640, as it is with all high-frequency circuits.
Oscillations at high frequencies can easily occur if good
grounding techniques are not used. A heavy ground plane
(20z copper recommended) should connect all unused areas
on the component side. Good ground planes can reduce stray
signal pickup, provide a low resistance, low inductance
common return path for signal and power, and can conduct
heat from active circuit package pins into ambient air by
convection.
Supply bypassing is extremely critical and must always be
used, especially when driving high current loads. Both
power supply leads should be bypassed to ground as close as
possible to the amplifier pins. Tantalum capacitors (2.2!-!F)
with very short leads are recommended. A parallel 0.01!-!F
ceramic must also be added. Surface mount bypass capacitors will produce excellent results due to their low lead
inductance. Additionally, suppression filters can be used to
isolate noisy supply lines. Properly bypassed and modulation-free power supply lines allow full amplifier output and
optimum settling time performance.

Points to Remember
1) Making lise of all four power supply pins will lower the
effective power supply impedance seen by the input and
output stages. This will improve the AC performance including lower distortion. The lowest distortion is achieved
when running separate traces to VSI and VS2 ' Power supply
bypassing with O.Olj.IF and 2.2j.IF suiface mount capacitors
on the topside of the PC board is recommended. It is
essential to keep the O.Olj.IF capacitor very close to the
power supply pins. Refer to the DEM-OPA64X data sheet
for the recommended layout and component placements.
2) Whenever possible, use surface mount. Don't use pointto-point wiring as the increase in wiring inductance will be
detrimental to AC performance. However, if it must be used,
very short, direct signal paths are required. The input signal
ground return, the load ground return, and the power supply
common should all be connected to the same physical point
to eliminate ground loops, which can cause unwanted feedback.
3) Surface mount on backside of PC Board. Good component selection is essential. Capacitors used in critical locations should be a low inductance type with a high quality
dielectric material. Likewise, diodes used in critical locations should be Schottky barrier types; such as HP50822835 for fast recovery and miuimum charge storage. Ordinary diodes will not be suitable in RF circuits.
4) Whenever possible, solder the OPA640 directly into the
PC board without using a socket. Sockets add parasitic
capacitance and inductance, which can seriously degrade
AC performance or produce oscillations.
5) Use a small feedback resistor (usually 250) in uuity-gain
voltage follower applications for the best performance. For
gain configurations, resistors used in feedback networks
should have values of a few hundred ohms for best performance. Shunt capacitance problems limit the acceptable
resistance range to about lill on the high end and to a value
that is within the amplifier's output drive limits on the low
end. Metal film and carbon resistors will be satisfactory, but
wirewound resistors (even "non-inductive" types) are absolutely unacceptable in high-frequency circuits. Feedback
resistors should be placed directly between the output and
the inverting input on the backside of the PC board. This
placement allows for the shortest feedback path and the
highest bandwidth. Refer to the demonstration board layout
at the end of the data sheet. A longer feedback path than
this will decrease the realized bandwidth substantially.
6) Due to the extremely high bandwidth of the OPA640, the
SOIC package is strongly recommended due its low parasitic impedance. The parasitic impedance in the PDIP and
CERDIP packages causes the OPA640 to experience about
SdB of gain peaking in unity-gain configurations. This is
compared with virtually no gain peaking in the SOIC package in unity-gain. The gain peaking in the PDIP arid CERDIP
packages is minimized in gains of 2 or greater, however.
Surface mount components (chip resistors, capacitors, etc.)
have low lead inductance and are also strongly recommended.

2.228

7) Avoid overloading the output. Remember that output
current must be provided by the amplifier to drive its own
feedback network as well as to drive its load. Lowest
distortion is achieved with high impedance loads.
8) Don't forget that these amplifiers use ±5V supplies.
Although they will operate perfectly well with +SV and
-S.2V, use of ±lSV supplies will destroy the part.
9) Standard commercial test equipment has not been designed to test devices in the OPA640's speed range. Benchtop op amp testers and ATE systems will require a special
test head to successfully test these amplifiers.
10) Terruinate transmission line loads. Unterruinated lines,
such as coaxial cable, can appear to the amplifier to be a
capacitive or inductive load. By terruinating a transmission
line with its characteristic impedance, the amplifier's load
then appears purely resistive.
11) Plug-in prototype boards and wire-wrap boards will not
be satisfactory. A clean layout using RF techniques is
essential; there are no shortcuts.
OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
If additional offset adjustment is needed, the circuit in
Figure 1 can be used without degrading offset drift with
temperature. Avoid external adjustment whenever possible
since extraneous noise, such as power supply noise, can be
inadvertently coupled into the amplifier's inverting input
terruinal. Remember that additional offset errors can be
created by the amplifier's input bias currents. Whenever
possible, match the impedance seen by both inputs as is
shown with R,. This will reduce input bias current errors to
the amplifier's offset current.

ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY

Electrostatic discharge can cause damage ranging from performancedegradation 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.

FIGURE 3. Small-Signal Output hnpedance vs Frequency.
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The OPA641 does not require a heat sink for operation in
most environments. At extreme temperatures and under full
load conditions a heat sink may be necessary.
The internal power dissipation is given by the equation
PD= PDQ + PDL' where PDQ is the quiescent power dissipation
and PDL is the power dissipation in the output stage due to the
load. (For ±Vee= ±SV, PDQ = lOV x 24mA = 240mW, max).
For the case where the amplifier is driving a grounded load
(R,) with a DC voltage (±Vour) the maximum value of PDL
occurs at ±Vour = ±Veel 2, and is equal to P DL'
max = (±Vcc)2/4~. Note that it is the voltage across the
output transistor, and not the load, that determines the power
dissipated in the output stage.
The short-circuit condition'represents the maximum amount
of internal power dissipation that can be generated. The
variation of output current with temperature is shown in the
Typical Performance Curves.
CAPACITIVE LOADS
The OPA64 1' s output stage has been optimized to drive low
resistive loads. Capacitive loads, however, will decrease the
amplifier's phase margin which may cause high frequency
peaking or oscillations. Capacitive loads greater than SpF
should be buffered by connecting a small resistance, usually
SO to 2S0,in series with the output as shown in Figure 4.
This is particularly important when driving high capacitance
loads such as flash AID converters.
In general, capacitive loads should be minimized for optimum high frequency performance. Coax lines can be driven
if the cable is properly terminated. The capacitance of coax

The OPA641 is internally compensated and is stable in unity
gain with a phase margin of approximately 60°. However,
the unity gain buffer is the most demanding circuit configuration for loop stability and oscillations. are most likely to
occur in this gain. If possible, use the device in a noise gain
of two or greater to improve phase margin and reduce the
susceptibility to oscillation. (Note that, from a stability
standpoint, an inverting gain of -I VN is equivalent to a
noise gain of 2.) Gain and phase response for other gains are
shown in the Typical Performance Curves.
The high-frequency response of the OPA641 in a good
layout is very flat with frequency. However, some circuit
configurations such as those where large feedback resistances are used, can produce high-frequency gain pe3king.
This peaking can be minimized by connecting a small
capacitor in parallel with the feedback resistor. This capacitor compensates for the closed-loop, high frequency, transfer
function zero that results from the time constant formed by
the input capacitance of the amplifier (typically 2pF after PC
board mounting), and the input and feedback resistors. The
selected compensation capacitor may be a trimmer, a fixed
capacitor, or a planned PC board capacitance. The capacitance value is strongly dependent on circuit layout and
closed-loop gain. Using small resistor values will preserve
the phase margin and avoid peaking by keeping the break
frequency of this zero sufficiently high. When high c1osedloop gains are required, a three-resistor attenuator (tee network) is recommended to avoid using large value resistors
with large time constants.
SETTLING TIME
Settling time is defined as the total time required, from the
input signal step, for the output to settle to within the
specified error band around the final value. This error band
is expressed as a percentage of the value of the output
transition, a 2V step. Thus; settling time to 0.01 % requires
an error band of ±2001lV centered around the final value of
2V.

Settling time, specified in an inverting gain of one, occurs in
only 18ns to 0.01% for a 2V step, making the OPA641 one
of the fastest settling monolithic amplifiers commercially
available. Settling time increases with closed-loop gain and
output voltage change as described in the Typical Performance Curves. Preserving settling time requires critical attention to the details as mentioned under "Wiring Precautions."
The amplifier also recovers quickly from input overloads.
Overload recovery time to linear operation from a 50%
overload is typically only 3Oos.
In practice, settling time measurements on the OPA641
prove to be very difficult to perform. Accurate measurement
is next to impossible in all but the very best equipped labs.
Among other things, a fast flat-top generator and high speed
oscilloscope are needed. Unfortunately, fast flat-top generators, which settle to 0.01 % in sufficient time, are scarce and
expensive. Fast oscilloscopes, however, are more commonly
available. For best results a sampling oscilloscope is recommended. Sampling scopes typically have bandwidths that
are greater than 1GHz and very low capacitance inputs.
They also exhibit faster settling times in response to signals
that would tend to overload a real-time oscilloscope.
Figure 6 shows the test circuit used to measure settling time
for the OPA641. This approach uses a 16-bit sampling
oscilloscope to monitor the input and output pulses. These
waveforms are captured by the sampling scope, averaged,
and then subtracted from each other in software to produce
the error signal. This technique eliminates the need for the
traditional "false-summing junction," which adds extra parasitic capacitance. Note that instead of an additional flat-top
generator, this technique uses the scope's built-in calibration
source as the input signal.
DIFFERENTIAL GAIN AND PHASE

Differential Gain (DG) and Differential Phase (DP) are
among the more important specifications for video applications. DG is defined as the percent change in closed-loop
gain over a specified change in output voltage level. DP is
defined as the change in degrees of the closed-loop phase
over the same output voltage change. Both DG and DP are
specified at the NTSC sub-carrier frequency of 3.58MHz.
DG and DP increase with closed-loop gain and output
voltage transition. All measurements were performed using
a Tektronix model VM700 Video Measurement Set.

Although harmonic distortion may decrease with higher
load resistances (i.e. higher feedback resistors), the effective
output noise will increase due to the higher resistance.
Therefore, noise or harmonic distortion may be optimized
by picking the appropriate feedback resistor.

FIGURE 5. 5MHz Harmonic Distortion vs Load Resistance.
The third-order intercept point is an important parameter for
many RF amplifier applications. Figure 6 shows the
OPA641 ' s single-tone, third-order intercept vs frequency.
This curve is particularly useful for determining the magnitude of the third harmonic as a function of frequency, load
resistance, and gain. For example, assume that the application requires the OPA641 to operate in a gain of +2VN and
drive 2Vp-p into lOOn at a frequency of 5MHz. Referring to
Figure 6 we find that the intercept point is +38dBm. The
magnitude of the third harmonic can now be easily calculated from the expression:
Third Harmonic (dBc)

= 2(OPPP -

For this case OPPP = 38dBm, Po = 7dBm, and the thirdHarmonic =2(38 - 7) =62dB below the fundamental tone.
The OPA641's low IMD makes the device an excellent
choice for a variety of RF signal processing applications.
The value for the two-tone, third-order intercept is typically
6dB lower than the single-tone value.

INPUT PROTECTION

Static damage has been well recognized for MOSFET devices, but any semiconductor device deserves protection
from this potentially damaging source. The OPA642 incorporates on-chip ESD protection diodes as shown in Figure 2.
This eliminates the need for the user to add external protection diodes, which can add capacitance and degrade AC
performance.

u:::

FIGURE 2. Internal ESD Protection.
All pins on the OPA642 are internally protected from ESD
by means of a pair of back-to-back reverse-biased diodes to
either power supply as shown. These diodes will begin to
conduct when the input voltage exceeds either power supply
by about 0.7V. This situation can occur with loss of the
amplifier's power supplies while a signal source is still
present. The diodes can typically withstand a continuous
current of 30mA without destruction. To insure long term
reliability, however, diode current should be externally limited to lOrnA or so whenever possible.
The OPA642 utilizes a fine geometry high speed process
that withstands 500V using the Human Body Model and
lOOV using the Machine Model. However, static damage
can cause subtle changes in amplifier input characteristics
without necessarily destroying the device. In precision operational amplifiers, this may cause a noticeable degradation
of offset voltage and drift. Therefore, static protection is
strongly recommended when handling the OPA642.
OUTPUT DRIVE CAPABILITY
The OPA642 has been optimized to drive 750. and 1000.
resistive loads. The device can drive 2Vp-p into a 750. load.
This high-output drive capability makes the OPA642 an
ideal choice for a wide range of RF, IF, and video applications. In many cases, additional buffer amplifiers are unneeded.
Many demanding high-speed applications such as
ADCIDAC buffers require op amps with low wideband
output impedance. For example, low output impedance is
essential when driving the signal-dependent capacitances at
the inputs of flash AID converters. As shown in Figure 3,
the OPA642 maintains very low closed-loop output impedance over frequency. Closed-loop output impedance increases with frequency since loop gain is decreasing with
frequency.

See Appendix A,
Burr-Brown IC Data BookData Conversion Products

Low Power, Wide Bandwidth
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER
FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

• LOW POWER: 55mW
• UNITY-GAIN BANDWIDTH: 650MHz

The OPA646 is a low power, wideband voltage feedback operational amplifier. It features a high bandwidtb
of 650MHz as well as a l2-bit settling time of only
15ns. Its low input bias current and wide bandwidtb
allows it to be used for high speed integrator and active
filter designs. Its low distortion gives exceptional performance for telecommunications, medical imaging and
video applications.

• UNITY-GAIN STABLE
• FAST 12-BIT SETTLING: 15ns (0.01%)
• LOW INPUT BIAS CURRENT: 2J.lA
• LOW HARMONICS: -82dBc at 5MHz
• LOW DIFF GAIN/PHASE ERRORS:
0.025%/0.08°

APPLICATIONS
• TELECOMMUNICATIONS
• MEDICAL IMAGING
• CCD IMAGING
• PORTABLE EQUIPMENT

The OPA646 is internally compensated for unity-gain
stability. This amplifier has a fully symmetrical differential input due to its "classical" operational amplifier
circuit architecture. Its unusual combination of speed,
accuracy and low power make it an ideal choice for
many portable, multichannel and otber high speed applications where power is at a premium.

CAPACITIVE LOADS

The OPA646's output stage has been optimized to drive low
resistive loads. Capacitive loads, however, will decrease the
amplifier's phase margin which may cause high frequency
peaking or oscillations. Capacitive loads greater than IOpF
should be buffered by connecting a small resistance, usually
50 to 250, in series with the output as shown in Figure 5.
This is particularly important when driving high capacitance
loads such as flash AID converters. Increasing the gain from
+ I will improve the capacitive load drive due to increased
phase margin.
(Rs typically 50 to 25Q)

FIGURE 5. Driving Capacitive Loads.
In general, capacitive loads should be minimized for optimum high frequency performance. Coax lines can be driven
if the cable is properly terminated. The capacitance of coax
cable (29pF/foot f()r RG-58) will not load the amplifier
when the coaxial cable or transmission line is terminated in
its characteristic impedance.
COMPENSATION

The OPA646 is internally compensated and is stable in unity
gain with a phase margin of approximately 60°. However,
the unity gain buffer is the most demanding circuit configuration for loop stability and oscillations are most likely to
occur in this gain. If possible, use the device in a noise gain
of two or greater to improve phase margin and reduce the
susceptibility to oscillation. (Note that, from a stability
standpoint, an inverting gain of -IVN is equivalent to a
noise gain of 2.) Gain and phase response for other gains are
shown in the Typical Performance Curves.
The high-frequency response of the OPA646 in a good
layout is very flat with frequency. However, some circuit
configurations such as those where large feedback resistances are used, can produce high-frequency gain peaking.
This peaking can be minimized by connecting a small
capacitor in parallel with the feedback resistor. This capacitor compensates for the closed-loop, high frequency, transfer
function zero that results from the time constant formed by
the input capacitance of the amplifier (typically 2pF after PC
board mounting), and the input and feedback resistors. The
selected compensation capacitor may be a trimmer, a fixed
capacitor, or a planned PC board capacitance. The capacitance value is strongly dependent on circuit layout and
closed-loop gain. Using small resistor values will preserve

the phase margin and avoid peaking by keeping the break
frequency of this zero sufficiently high. When high closedloop gains are required, a three-resistor attenuator (tee network) is recommended to avoid using large value resistors
with large time constants.
SETTLING TIME
Settling time is defined as the total time required, from the
input signal step, for the output to settle to within the
specified error band around the final value. This error band
is expressed as a percentage of the value of the outpullt
transition, a 2V step. Thus, settling time to 0.01 % requires
an error band of ±200I1V centered around the final value 0
2V.

Settling time, specified in an inverting gain of one, occurs in
only 15ns to 0.01 % for a 2V step, making the OPA646 one
of the fastest settling monolithic amplifiers commercially
available. Settling time increases with closed-loop gain and
output voltage change as described in the Typical Performance Curves. Preserving settling time requires critical attention to the details as mentioned under "Wiring Precautions."
The amplifier also recovers quickly from input overloads.
Overload recovery time to linear operation from a 50%
overload is typically only 65ns.
In practice, settling time measurements on the OPA646
prove to be very difficult to perform. Accurate measurement
is next to impossible in all but the very best eqnipped labs.
Among other things, a fast flat-top generator and high speed
oscilloscope are needed. Unfortunately, fast flat-top generators, which settle to 0.0 I % in sufficient time, are scarce and
expensive. Fast oscilloscopes, however, are more commonly
available. For best results a sampling oscilloscope is recommended. Sampling scopes typically have bandwidths that
are greater than I GHz and very low capacitance inputs.
They also exhibit faster settling times in response to signals
that would tend to overload a real-time oscilloscope.
DIFFERENTIAL GAIN AND PHASE
Differential Gain (DG) and Differential Phase (DP) are
among the more important specifications for video applications. DG is defined as the percent change in closed-loop
gain over a specified change in output voltage level. DP is
defined as the change in degrees of the closed-loop phase
over the same output voltage change. Both DG and DP are
specified at the NTSC sub-carrier frequency of 3.58MHz.
DG and DP increase with closed-loop gain and output
voltage transition. All measurements were performed using
a Tektronix model VM700 Video Measurement Set.

SPICE MODELS

The OPA646's Harmonic Distortion characteristics into a
1000 load are shown vs frequency and power output in the
Typical Performance Curves. Distortion can be significantly
improved by increasing the load resistance as illustrated in
Figure 6. Remember to include the contribution of the
feedback resistance when calculating the effective load resistance seen by the amplifier.

Computer simulation using SPICE is often useful when
analyzing the performance of analog circuits and systems.
This is particularly true for Video and RF amplifier circuits
where parasitic capacitance and inductance can have a major
effect on circuit performance. SPICE models are available
for the OPA646. Contact Burr-Brown Applications Department to receive a spice diskette.
ENVIRONMENTAL (a) SCREENING

-40

g

The inherent reliability of a semiconductor device is controlled by the design, materials and fabrication of the device
-it cannot be improved by testing. However, the use of
environmental screening can eliminate the majority of those
units which would fail early in their lifetimes (infant mortality) through the application of carefully selected accelerated
stress levels. Burr-Brown "Q-Screening" on the HSQ grade
provides environmental screening to our standard industrial
products, thus enhancing reliability. The screening illustrated in the following table is performed to selected stress
levels similar to those of MIL-STD-883.

CIRCUIT LAYOUT

With any wide-bandwidth circuitry, careful circuit layout
will ensure best perfonnance. Make short, direct circuit
interconnections and avoid stray wiring capacitance--especially at the inverting input pin. A component-side ground
plane will help ensure low ground impedance. Do not place
the ground plane under or near the inputs and feedback
network.
Power supplies should be bypassed with good high-frequency capacitors positioned close to the op amp pins. In
most cases, a 2.2J.lF solid tantalum capacitor for each power
supply is adequate. The OPA654 can deliver load currents
up to 200mA. Even if steady-state load currents are lower,
signal transients may demand large current transients from
the power supplies. It is the power supply bypass capacitors
which must supply these current transients. Larger bypass
capacitors such as 1OJ.lF solid tantalum capacitors may
improve dynamic perfonnance in these applications.

these sensitive nodes, making the type and location of the
potentiometer less critical. This also reduces the trim range,
providing more adjustment resolution. Do not use an offset
voltage adjustment to correct for offsets produced in other
circuitry since this can introduce large offset voltage drift.

OFFSET ADJUSTMENT

Many applications require no external offset voltage adjustment. Figure la shows connection of an optional offset
voltage trimming potentiometer. Use a small, non-inductive
potentiometer with short connections to the trim pins. Avoid
stray capacitance from the input or output nodes. The added
resistors in Figure I b help decouple the potentiometer from

COMPENSATION

The OPA654 uses external compensation capacitors. This
tailors the open-loop response characteristics to the application. Its effect can be seen in the open-loop gain and phase
curves.

CASE CONNECTION

The case of the TO-3 metal package should be connected to
ground. Failure to connect the case to ground will not
damage the device but will degrade its AC performance. The
case is internally connected to the substrate of the
dielectrically isolated Ie. This substrate is DC-neutral-it is
not connected to the V-power supply as it would be with
most analog ICs. In principle, it could be connected to any
AC ground potential such as one of the power supplies, but
DC ground is usually most convenient. Do not connect the
case to DC potentials which exceed the power supply voltages, ±VS.

Figures 2 shows typical capacitor values for various c1osedloop gains. This chart should be considered a starting point
for optimizing an application. Many variables including
circuit layout, source and load characteristics, and desired
dynamic behavior will affect the optimum capacitor values.
Capacitive loads change op amp behavior and higher compensation capacitor values are generally required. Resistor
Rs' shown in Figure 3, can improve the ability to drive a
capacitive load. Typical values for Rs range from 5.0 to
50.0, depending on the load and how much voltage drop can
be tolerated.

Figure 3 also demonstrates a compensation technique using
an additional network, R,-C,. This allows use of a smaller
value for C" producing a corresponding increase in slew
rate. It reduces the high frequency loop gain by placing the
op amp in a higher noise gain at high frequency. This
technique improves large-signal response at the sacrifice of
small-signal behavior. Settling time is increased and high
frequency noise performance will be somewhat degraded.

DESCRIPTION

The OPA660 is packaged in SO-8 surface-mount, and
8-pin plastic DIP packages and is specified for the
extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to
+85°C).

The OPA660 is a versatile monolithic component
designed for wide-bandwidth systems including high
performance video, RF and IF circuitry. It includes a
wideband, bipolar integrated voltage-controlled current source and voltage buffer amplifier in an 8-pin
package.
The voltage-controlled current source or Operational
Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) can be.viewed as
an "ideal transistor." Like a transistor, it has three
terminals-a high-impedance input (base), a low-impedance input/output (emitter), and the current output
(collector). The OTA, however,. is self-biased and
bipolar. The output current is zero for zero differential
input voltage. AC inputs centered about zero produce
an output current which is bipolar and centered about
zero. The transconductance of the OTA can be adjusted with an external resistor, allowing bandwidth,
quiescent current and gain trade-offs to be optimized.

loon
V,o-,/W''--'-t=--!

The open loop buffer amplifier provides 700MHz
bandwidth and 3000V/llS slew rate. Used as a basic
building block, the OPA660 simplifies the design of
AGC amplifiers, LED driver circuits for Fiber Optic
Transmission, integrators for short ns pulses, fast
control loop amplifiers, and control amplifiers for
capacitive sensors and active filters.

The buffer output is not current-limited or protected, If the
output is shorted to ground, currents up to 60rnA could flow .
Momentary shorts to ground (a few seconds) should be
avoided, but are unlikely to cause permanent damage. The
same cautions apply to the OTA section when connected as
a buffer (see Basic Applications Circuits, Figure 6b).

Inputs of the OPA660 are protected with internal diode
clamps as shown in the simplified schematic, Figure 1.
These protection diodes can safely conduct lOrnA, continuously (30mA peak). If input voltages can exceed the power
supply voltages by O.7V, the input signal current must be
limited.

APPLICATION TIPS

6.

Wirewound resistors (even "non-inductive" types) are
absolutely unacceptable in high frequency circuits.

7.

Avoid overloading the output. Remember that output
current must be provided by the amplifier to drive its
own feedback network as well as to drive its "load."
Lowest distortion is achieved with high impedance
loads.

Wideband amplifier circuits require good layout techniques
to be successful. The use of short, direct signal paths and
heavy (20z copper recommended) ground planes are absolutely necessary to achieve the performance level inherent in
the OPA675/676. Oscillation, ringing, poor bandwith and
settling, gain peaking, and instability are typical problems
that plague all high-speed amplifiers when they are used in
poor layouts. The OPA675 and OPA676 are no different in
this respect - any amplifier with a gain bandwith product of
a few GHz requires some care be taken in its application.

8.
9.

Points to remember:
I.

2.

3.

Use a heavy copper ground plane on the component side
of your PC board. This provides a low inductance
ground and it also conducts heat from active circuit
package pins into ambient air by convection.
Bypass power supply pins directly at the active device.
The use of tantalum capacitors (l to IO~/10V) with
very short leads is highly recommended. Supply pins
should not be left unbypassed.
Signal paths should be short and direct. Feedback
resistors, compensation capacitors, termination resistors, etc. should have lead lengths no longer than 114
inch (6cm).

4.

Surface mount components (chip resistors, capacitors,
etc.) have low inductance and are therefore recommended. Parasitic inductance and capacitance should be
avoided if best performance is to be achieved.

5.

Resistors used in feedback networks should have values
of a few hundred ohms for best performance. Shunt
capacitance problems limit the acceptable range to about
lkQ or on the high resistance end and to a value that is
within the amplifier's output drive limits on the low end.
Metal film and carbon compensation resistors will be
satisfactory.

PC board traces for signal and power lines should be
wide to reduce impedance or inductance.
Don't forget that these amplifiers use ±5V supplies.
Although they will operate perfectly well with +SV and
-S.2V, the use of ±15V supplies will result in destruction.

10. Standard commercial test equipment has not been designed to test devices in the OPA67S/676 speed range.
Benchtop op amp testers and ATE systems will require
a special test head to successfully test these amplifiers.
II. High-speed amplifiers can drive only a limited amount
of capacitance. If the load exceeds 10 to 20pF consider
using a fast buffer or a small resistor to isolate the
capacitance from the amplifier's output. Capacitive
loads will cause loop instability if not compensated for.
12. Terminate transmission line loads. Unterminated lines,
such as coaxial cable, can appear to the amplifier to be
a capacitive or inductive load. By terminating a transmission line with its characteristic impedance, the
amplifier's load then appears as a purely resistive
impedance.
13. For clean, fast input selection the logic input pins should
be terminated with appropriate resistors. Resistors should
be connected from input selection pins to ground plane
with short leads. Failure to terminate long lines will
result in ringing and poor high frequency switching.
14. Plug-in prototype boards and wire-wrap boards will not
be satisfactory. A clean layout using RF techniques is
required; there is no shortcut.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The simplified circuit of the ECL compatible OPA678 is
shown in Figure 1. It is a "classical" high-speed op-amp
architecture with one important exception-the amplifier
has two ECL logic selectable differential input stages. An
appropriate differential ECL logic signal on A and 1\ will
tum on either Q5 or Q6, steering operating (tail) current to
either differential input pair QI and Q2 or Q3 and Q4. The
input pair receiving the tail current operates as a conventional op-amp input stage while the de-selected input pair
receiving no tail current appears as an open circuit. The deselected inputs have only a few pF parasitic capacitance and
in the off condition exhibit only a very low leakage (bias)
current of about lOOpA. Two feedback networks can be
connected to each input separately allowing a wide range of
circuit applications. The feedback network connected to the
selected input operates in a normal op amp fashion while the
feedback network connected to the de-selected input is
totally inactive, appearing only as an additional load to the
amplifier's output stage.

Standard TTL and ECL logic levels may be applied to each
input selection circuit but only 350mV is typically required
to switch between inputs. This logic input sensitivity allows
simpler high-speed logic driver circuitry and it minimizes
digital noise coupling into adjacent wideband analog circuitry and allows single ended ECL inputs to be used with
VBB applied to the other input.
The OPA678 is designed to be frequency compensated by a
single capacitor connected from pin 5 to ground. Recommended compensation is shown in the Typical Performance
Curve section. A small variable capacitor may be trimmed
for best bandwidth, settling time, and gain peaking. C l o s e d _
loop gain/phase (Bode) plots are shown in the Typic
Performance Curves.
(/)

OFFSET TRIM

IX:

The laser trimmed input offset voltage is low enough for
many video and RF applications. Independent control of
input offset will require that trim adjust current be summed
into one or both inputs.

DESCRIPTION
The OPA2107 dual operational amplifier provides
precision Offet performance with the cost and space
savings of a dual op amp. It is useful in a wide range
of precision and low-noise analog circuitry and can be
used to upgrade the performance of designs currently
using BIFET" type amplifiers.
The OPA2107 is fabricated on a proprietary
dielectrically isolated (Olfet) process. This holds input bias currents to very low levels without sacrificing
other important parameters, such as input offset voltage, drift and noise. Laser-trimmed input circuitry
yields excellent DC performance. Superior dynamic
performance is achieved, yet quiescent current is held
to under 2.SrnA per amplifier. The OPA2107 is unitygain stable.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The OPA2604 is unity-gain stable, making it easy to use in a
wide range of circuitry. Applications with noisy or high
impedance power supply lines may require decoupling capacitors close to the device pins. In most cases IJ.lF tantalum
capacitors are adequate.

and capacitive load will decrease the phase margin arid may
lead to gain peaking or oscillations. Load capacitance reacts
with the op amp's open-loop output resistance to form an
additional pole in the feedback loop. Figure 2 shows various
circuits which preserve phase margin with capacitive load.
Request Application Bulletin AB-028 for details of analysis
techniques ane! applications circuits. ,

DISTORTION MEASUREMENTS

For the unity-gain buffer, Figure 2a, stability is preserved by
adding a phase-le;ld network, Rc and C e . Voltage drop across
Rc will red~ce output voltage swing with heavy loads. An
alternate circuit, Figure 2b, does not limit the output with low
load impedance. It provides a small amp1lllt of positive feedback to reduce the net feedback factor. IripUtimpedance of this
circuit falls at high frequency as opamp gain rolloff reduces
the bootstrap action on the compensation network.

The distortion pro(juced by the OPA2604 is below the measurement limit of virtually all commercially available equipment. A special test circuit, however, can be usee! to extend the
measurement capabilities.
Op amp distortion can be considered an internal error source
which can be referred to the input. Figure 1 shows a circuit
which causes the op amp distortion to be 10 1 times greater
than normally produced by the op amp. The addition of R3 to
the otherwise standard non-inverting amplifier configuration
alters the feedback factor or noise gain of the circuit. The
closed-loop gain is unchanged, but the feedback available for
error correction is reduced by a factor of 101. This extends the
measurement limit, including the effects of the signal-source
purity, by a factor of 101. Note that the input signal and load
applied to the op amp are the same as with conventional
feedback without R3.

Figures 2c and 2d show compensation techniques for
noninverting amplifiers. Like the follower circuits, the circuit
in Figure 2d eliminates voltage drop due to load current, but
at the penalty of somewhat reduced input impedance at high
frequency.
Figures 2e and 2f show input lead compensation networks for
inverting and difference amplifier configurations.

NOISE PERFORMANCE

Validity of this technique can be verified by duplicating
measurements at high gain andlor high frequency where the
distortion is within the measurement capability of the test
equipment. Measurements for this data sheet were made with
the Audio Precision, System One which greatly simplifies
such repetitive measurements. The measurement technique
can, however, be performed with manual distortion measurement instruments.

Op amp noise is described by two parameters-noise voltage
and noise current. The voltage noise determines the noise
performance with low source impedance. Low noise bipolarinput op amps such as the OPA27 and OPA37 provide very
low voltage noise. But if source impedance is greater than a
few thousand ohms, the current noise of bipolar-input op amps
react with the source impedance and will dominate. At a few
thousand ohms source impedance and above, the OPA2604
will generally provide lower noise.

CAPACITIVE LOADS
The dynamic characteristics of the OPA2604 have been
optimized for commonly encountered gains, loads and operating conditions. The combination of low closed-loop gain

POWER DISSIPATION
The OPA2604 is capable of driving 6000 loads with power
supply voltages up to ±24V. Internal power dissipation is
increased when operating at high power supply voltage. The
typical perfonnance curve, Power Dissipation vs Power Supply Voltage, shows quiescent dissipation (no signal or no
load) as well as dissipation with a worst case continuous sine
wave. Continuous high-level music signals typically produce
dissipation significantly less than worst case sine waves.

Copper leadframe construction used in the OPA2604 improves heat dissipation compared to conventional plastic
packages. To achieve best heat dissipation, solder the device
directly to the circuit board and use wide circuit board traces.
OUTPUT CURRENT LIMIT
Output current is liruited by internal circuitry to approximately ±40mA at 25°C. The Hruit current decreases with
increasing temperature as shown in the typical curves.

SOUND QUALITY
The following discussion is provided, recognizing that
not all measured performance behavior explains or
correlates with listening tests by audio experts. The
design of the OPA2604 included consideration of both
objective performance measurements, as well as an
awareness of widely held theory on the success and
failure of previous op amp designs.
SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality of an op amp is often the crucial
selection criteria-even when a data sheet claims exceptional distortion performance. By its nature, sound
quality is subjective. Furthermore, results of listening
tests can vary depending on application and circuit
configuration. Even experienced listeners in controlled
tests often reach different conclusions.
Many audio experts believe that the sound quality of a
high performance FET op amp is superior to that of
bipolar op amps. A possible reason for this is that
bipolar designs generate greater odd-order harmonics
than FETs. To the human ear, odd-order harmonics
have long been identified as sounding more unpleasant
than even-order harmonics. FETs, like vacuum tubes,
have a square-law I-V transfer function which is more
linear than the exponential transfer function of a bipolar
transistor. As a direct result of this square-law characteristic, FETs produce predominantly even-order harmonics. Figure 10 shows the transfer function of a
bipolar transistor and FET. Fourier transformation of
both transfer functions reveals the lower odd-order
harmonics of the FET amplifier stage.

THE OPA2604 DESIGN

Z

The OPA2604 uses FETs throughout the signal path,
including the input stage, input-stage load, and the
important phase-splitting section of the output stage.
Bipolar transistors are used where their attributes, such
as current capability are important and where their
transfer characteristics have minimal impact.
The topology consists of a single folded-cascode gain
stage followed by a unity-gain output stage. Differential
input transistors J I and J2 are special large-geometry, Pchannel JFETs. Input stage current is a relatively high
800/lA, providing high transconductance and reducing
voltage noise. Laser trimming of stage currents and
careful attention to symmetry yields a nearly symmetrical slew rate of ±25VIllS.
The JFET input stage holds input bias current to approximately lOOpA, or roughly 3000 times lower than
common bipolar-input audio op amps. This dramatically reduces noise with high-impedance circuitry.

FIGURE 10. I-V and Spectral Response of NPN and
JFET.

The drains of J I and J2 are cascoded by QI and Q2,
driving the input stage loads, FETs J3 and J4 • Distortion
reduction circuitry (patent pending) linearizes the openloop response and increases voltage gain. The 20MHz
bandwidth of the OPA2604 further reduces distortion
through the user-connected feedback loop.
The output stage consists of a JFET phase-splitter
loaded into high speed all-NPN output drivers. Output
transistors are biased by a special circuit to prevent
cutoff, even with full output swing into 6000 loads.
The two channels of the OPA2604 are completely
independent, including all bias circuitry. This eliminates any possibility of crosstalk through shared circuits-even when one channel is overdriven.

FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

• LOW POWER: 50mW PER AMP

The OPA4650 is a quad, low power, wideband voltage
feedback operational amplifier. It features a high bandwidth of 560MHz as well as a l2-bit settling time of
only l5ns. The low input bias current allows its use in
high speed integrator applications, while the wide
bandwidth and true differential input stage make it
suitable for use in a variety of active filter applications. Its low distortion gives exceptional performance
for telecommunications, medical imaging and video
applications.

• UNITY GAIN STABLE BANDWIDTH:
560MHz
• FAST SETTLING TIME: 15ns to 0.01%
• LOW INPUT BIAS CURRENT: 2.7tJA
• DIFFERENTIAL GAIN/PHASE ERROR:
0.01%/0.01°
• PACKAGE: 14-pin DIP and 14-pin SOIC

APPLICATIONS
• HIGH RESOLUTION VIDEO
• MONITOR PREAMPLIFIER
• CCD IMAGING AMPLIFIER
• ULTRASOUND SIGNAL PROCESSING
• ADC/DAC GAIN AMPLIFIER
• ACTIVE FILTERS

~

The OPA4650 is internally compensated for unitygain stability. This amplifier has a fully symmetrical
differential input due to its "classical" operational
amplifier circuit architecture. Its unusual combination
of speed, accuracy and low power make it an outstanding choice for many portable, multi-channel and other
high speed applications, where power is at a premium.
The OPA4650 is also available in single OPA650 and
dual OPA2650 configurations.

DESCRIPTION

o

The VCA610 is a wideband, continuously variable,
voltage controlled gain amplifier. It provides lineardB gain control with op amp style, high impedance
inputs. It is designed to be used as a flexible gain
control element in a variety of electronic systems.
The VCA61 0 has a gain control range of 80dB (---40dB
to +40dB) providing both gain and attenuation for
maximwll lltx.iblllty in a srrJ.4l1 8-pin SOle or plastic
dual-in-line package. The broad attenuation range can
be used for gradual or controlled channel turn-on and
turn-off for applications in which abrupt gain changes
can create artifacts or other errors. In addition, the
output can be disabled to provide -80dB of attenuation. Group delay variation with gain is typically less
than ±2ns across a bandwidth of I to ISMHz.

The VCA610 is designed with a very fast overload
recovery time of only 200ns. This allows a large
signal transient to overload the output at high gain,
without obscuring low-level signals following closely
behind. The excellent overload recovery time and
distortion specifications optimize this device for lowlevel doppler measurements.

The VCA610 has a noise figure of 3.SdB (with an Rs
of 2ooQ) including the effects of both current and
voltage noise, 1.4pA/,JRZ and 2.2nV/,JRZ respectively.
Instantaneous output dynamic range is 70dB for gains
of OdB to +40dB with IMHz noise bandwidth. The
output is capable of driving 100Q. The high speed,
300dB/lJS, gain control signal is an easy to generate
unipolar voltage that varies the gain linearly in dBN.

FIGURE 1. Block Diagram of the VCA61O.
A user-applied voltage, Vc, controls the amplifier's gain
magnitude through a high-speed control circuit. Gain polarity can be either inverting or noninverting depending upon
the amplifier input driven by the input signal. Use of the
inverting input is recommended since this connection tends
to minimize positive feedback from the output to the noninverting input. The gain control circuit presents the high
input impedance of a noninverting op amp connection.
Control voltage Vc varies the amplifier gain according to the
exponential relationship G(VN) = 10 -2 (Yc+l). This translates
to the linear, logarithmic relationship G(dB) = - 40 - 40Vc.
Thus, G(dB) varies linearly over the specified -40dB to

Figure 2 plots output power vs input power for five voltage
gains spaced at 20dB intervals. The IdBm compression
points occur where the actual output power (solid lines)
deviates by -ldBm from the ideal output power (dashed
lines). Compression is produced by different mechanisms
depending on the selected gain. For example, at G = -40dB,
IdBm compression occurs when the input signal approaches
approximately 3Vp-p (13.5dBm for Rs = SOQ).Input overloading is the compression mechanism for all gains from
-40dB to about -SdB. For gains between -SdB and +SdB,
the compression is due to internal gain stage overloading.
Compression over this gain range occurs when the output
signal becomes distorted as internal gain stages become
overdriven. At G = OdB, IdBm compression occurs when
the input exceeds approximately 1.SVp-p (7.5dBm). At
gains greater than about SdB, the compression mechanism is
due to output stage overloading. Output overloading occurs

when either the maximum output voltage swing or output
current is exceeded. The VCA61O's high output current of
±80mA insures that virtually all output overloads will be
limited by voltage swing rather than by current limiting. At
G = +40dB, IdBm compression occurs when the output

Maximizing the VCA61O's capability requires some wiring
precautions and high-frequency layout techniques. In general, printed circuit board conductors should be as short and
as wide as possible to provide low resistance, low impedance signal paths. Stray signal coupling from the output or
power supplies to the inputs should be minimized. Unused
inputs should be grounded as close to the package as
possible.
Low impedance ground returns for signal and power are
essential. Proper supply bypassing is also extremely critical
and must always be used. Both power supply leads should be
bypassed to ground as close as possible to the amplifier pins.
Tantalum capacitors (l1JP to 101JP) with very short leads are
recommended. Surface mount bypass capacitors will provide excellent results due to their low lead inductance.
OVERLOAD RECOVERY
As shown in Figure 2, the onset of overload occurs whenever the actual output begins to deviate from the ideal
expected output. If possible, the user should operate the
VCA6iO within the iinear regions shown in onler [0 minimize signal distortion and overload delay time. However,
instances of amplifier overload are actually quite common in
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuits which involve the
application of variable gain to signals of varying levels. The
VCA61O's design incorporates circuitry which allows it to
recover from most overload conditions in 2000s or less.
Overload recovery time is defined as the time required for
the output to return from overload to linear operation following the removal of either an input or gain control overdrive
signal.
OFFSET ADJUSTMENT
Where desired, the offset of the VCA610 can be removed as
shown in Figure 3. This circuit simply presents a DC voltage
to one of the amplifier's inputs to counteract the offset error
voltage. For best offset performance, the trim adjustment
should be made with the amplifier set at the maximum gain
of the intended application. The offset voltage of the VCA610
varies with gain, limiting the complete offset cancellation to

STABILIZED WEIN-BRIDGE OSCILLATOR
Adding Wein-bridge feedback to the above AGe amplifier
produces an amplitude-stabilized oscillator. Shown in
Figure 8, this alternative requires the addition of just two
resistors (Rw,' R~ and two capacitors (Cw" Cwz).
Connecting the feedback network to the amplifier's
noninverting input introduces positive feedback to induce
oscillation. The feedback factor displays a frequency dependence due to the changing impedances of the Cw capacitors.
As frequency increases, the decreasing impedance of the
Cm increases the feedback factor. Simultaneously, the decreasing impedance of the Cw, decreases this factor.
Analysis shows that the maximum factor occurs at f =
1I21tRwCw' making this the frequency most conducive to
oscillation. At this frequency the impedance magnitude of
Cw equals Rw and inspection of the circuit shows that this
condition produces a feedback factor of 113. Thus, selfsustaining oscillation requires a gain of three through the
amplifier. The AGe circuitry establishes this gain level.
Following initial circuit turn on, R, begins charging CH
negative, increasing the amplifier gain from its minimum.
When this gain reaches three, oscillation begins at f =
1I21tRwCw and R,'s continued charging effect makes the
oscillation amplitude grow. This growth continues until that
amplitude reaches a peak value equal to VR. Then, the AGe
circuit counteracts the R, effect, controlling the peak amplitude at VR by holding the amplifier gain at a level of three.
Making VR an AC signal, rather than a DC reference,
produces amplitude modulation of the oscillator output.

a DC reference voltage. Optionally, making this voltage a
second signal produces log-ratio operation. Either way, the
Log term's argument constrains the polarities of VRand VIN•
These two voltages must be of opposite polarities to ensure
a positive argument. This polarity combination results when
VR connects to the inverting input of the VCA61O. Alternately, switching VR to this amplifier's noninverting input
removes the minus sign of the log term's argument. Then,
both voltages must be of the same polarity to produce a
positive argument. In either case, the positive polarity requirement of the argument restricts VIN to a unipolar range.
The above VOL expression reflects a circuit gain introduced
by the presence of R, and Rz. This feature adds a convenient
scaling control to the circuit. However, a practical matter
sets a minimum level for this gain. The voltage divider
formed by R, and Rz attenuates the voltage supplied to the
Vc terminal by the op amp. This attenuation must be great
enough to prevent any possibility of an overload voltage at
the Vc terminal. Such an overload saturates the VCA61O's
gain control circuitry, reducing the amplifier's gain. For the
feedback connection of Figure 9 , this overload condition
permits a circuit latch. To prevent this, choose R, and Rz to
ensure that the op amp can not possibly deliver more than
2.5V to the Vc terminal.

LOW-DRIFT WIDEBAND LOG AMP
The VCA610 can be used to provide a 250kHz (-3dB) log
amp with low offset voltage and low gain drift.
The exponential gain control characteristic of the VCA610
permits simple generation of a temperature-compensated
logarithmic response. Enclosing the exponential function in
an op amp feedback path inverts this function, producing the
log response. Figure 9 shows the practical implementation
of this technique. A DC reference voltage, VR' sets the
VCA610 inverting input voltage. This makes the amplifier's
output voltage VOA = - GVR where G = 10.2 (VO + ').
A second input voltage also influences V OA through control
of gain G. The feedback op amp forces VOA to equal the
input voltage VIN connected at the op amp inverting input.
Any difference between these two signals drops across R3,
producing a feedback current that charges Cc. The resulting
change in VOL adjusts the gain of the VCA610 to change
VOA . At equilibrium, VOA = VIN =-VRIO ·2 (Vo+'). The op amp
forces this equality by supplying the gain control voltage
Vc = R, VOL/(R, + Rz). Combining the last two expressions
and solving for VOL yields the circuit's logarithmic response.

Examination of this result illustrates several circuit characteristics. First, the argument of the Log term, -VINNR'
reveals an option and a constraint. In Figure 9, VRrepresents

I-

However, the circuit shown provides greater output swing
than the more common multiplier implementation. The latter
replaces the VCA610 of the figure with an analog multiplier
having a response of Vo =XY110. Then, X = VOA and Y =
V c' making the circuit output voltage V 0 =V OAV dl O. Thus,
the multiplier implementation amplifies VOA by a gain of Vd
10. Circuit constraints require that Vc::; 10, making this gain D..
::; 1. Thus, the multiplier performs only as a variable attenu- :E
 1. Then, operating the VCA610 with gains in the
range of one to 100 avoids the reduction in output swing
capability.

VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED HIGH·PASS FILTER
A circuit analogous to the above low-pass filter produces a
voltage-controlled high-pass response. The gain control provided by the VCA6IO of Figure 12 varies this circuit's
response zero from 1Hz to 10kHz according to the relationship Fz ~ 1I2nGR,C where G = 10 -2 (Yc + I).

V, Q----1>-------J\I\J'-----..----./IJ

FIGURE 11. This Voltage-Tuneable Low-Pass Filter Produces a Variable Cutoff Frequency with a
3,000: 1 Range.
The response control results from amplification of the feedback voltage applied to Rz. Consider first the case where the
VCA610 produces G = 1. Then, the circuit performs as if
this amplifier were replaced by a short circuit. Visually
doing so leaves a simple voltage amplifier with a feedback
resistor bypassed by a capacitor. This basic circuit produces
a response pole at fp = 1I21tRzC.
For G > I, the circuit applies a greater voltage to Rz,
increasing the feedback current this resistor supplies to the
summing junction of the OPA620. The increased feedback
current produces the same result as if Rz had been decreased
in value in the basic circuit described above. Decreasing the
effective Rz resistance moves the circuit's pole to a higher
frequency, producing the fp = G/21tRzC response control.

To visualize the circuit's operation, consider a circuit condition and an approximation that permit replacing the VCA61 0
and R3 with short circuits. First consider the case where the
VCA610 produces G = 1. Then, replacing this amplifier with
short circuit leaves the operation unchanged. In this shorted
state, the circuit is simply a voltage amplifier with an R-C
bypass around R I • The resistance of this bypass, ~, serves
only to phase compensate the circuit and practical factors
makeR3 «RI . Neglecting ~ for the moment, the circuit
becomes just a voltage amplifier with capacitive bypass of
R I • This circuit produces a response zero at fz = 1I21tRI C.
Adding the VCA610 as shown permits amplification of the
signal applied to capacitor C and produces voltage control
of the frequency fz. Amplified signal voltage on C increases the signal current conducted by the capacitor to the
op amp feedback network. The result is the same as if C
had been increased in value to. GC. Replacing C with this
effective capacitance value produces the circuit's control
expression fz 1I2nRI GC.

=

Two factors limit the high-frequency performance of the
resulting high-pass filter. The finite bandwidth of the op
amp and the circuit's phase compensation produce response
poles. These limit the frequency duration of the high-pass
response. Selecting the R3 phase compensation with the
equation R3 = .../(Rl/21tfcC) assures stability for all values of
G and sets the circuit's bandwidth at BW = ..J(fd21tRI C).
Here, fc is the unity-gain crossover frequency of the op amp
used. With the components shown, BW = 100kHz. This
bandwidth provides a high-pass response duration of five
decades of frequency for fz = 1Hz, dropping to one decade
for fz = 10kHz.

VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED BAND-PASS FILTER
The VCA61O's variable gain also provides voltage control
over the center frequency of a band-pass filter. Shown in
Figure 13, this filter follows from the state-variable configuration with the VCA610 replacing the inverter common to
that configuration. Variation of the VCA610 gain moves the
filter's center frequency through a 100: 1 range following the
relationship fo = [10 -(vc • I) ]/21tRC.
As before, .variable gain controls a circuit time constant to
vary the filter response. The gain of the VCA610 amplifies
or attenuates the signal driving the lower integrator of the
circuit. This alters the effective resistance of the integrator
time constant producing the response

+ s/nRC + G/R2C2

Evaluation of this response equation reveals a passband gain
of Ao= -1, a bandwidth ofBW = 1I21tDRC and a selectivity
of Q = nlO -(Yc·I ). Note that variation of control voltage Vc
alters Q but not bandwidth.
The gain provided by the VCA610 restricts the output swing
of the filter. Output signal V0 must be constrained to a level
that does not drive the VCA610 output, VOA ' into its saturation limit. Note that these two outputs have voltage swings
related by VOA = GVo' Thus, a swing limit VOAL imposes a
circuit output limit of VOL:;:; VOAL/G.

The output voltage limit of the VCA610 imposes an input
voltage limit for the filter. The expression VOA = GVI relates
these two voltages. Thus, an output voltage limit VOAL
constrains the input voltage to VI:;:; VOAl/G.

INPUT PROTECTION

Static damage has been well recognized for MOSFET devices, but any semiconductor device deserves protection
from this potentially damaging source. The BUF600/601
incorporate on-chip ESD protection diodes as shown in
Figure 1. This eliminates the need for the user to add
external protection diodes, which can add capacitance and
degrade AC performance.

+vcc

External
Pin

~

ESD Protection Diodes
internally connected to
all pins.

_ _ _ _ Internal
Circuitry

All input pins on the BUF600/601 are internally protected
from ESD by means of a pair of back-to-back reverse-biased
diodes to either power supply as shown. These diodes will
begin to conduct when the input voltage exceeds either
power supply by about O.7V. This situation can occur with
loss of the amplifier's power supplies while a signal source
is still present. The diodes can typically withstand a
continuous current of 30mA without destruction. To insure
long term reliability, however, the diode current should be
externally limited to IOmA or so whenever possible.
The internal protection diodes are designed to withstand
2.5kV (using the Human Body Model) and will provide
adequate ESD protection for most normal handling procedures. However, static damage can cause subtle changes in
amplifier input characteristics without necessarily destroying the device. In precision amplifiers, this may cause
noticea.ble ~egradation of offset and drift. Therefore, static
protection IS strongly recommended when handling the
BUF600/601.

DISCUSSION OF
PERFORMANCE
The BUF600/601 are fabricated using a high-perfonnance
complementary bipolar process, which provides highfrequency NPN and PNP transistors with gigahertz transition
frequencies (fT). Power supplies are rated at ±6V maximum,
with the data sheet parameters specified at ±5V supplies. The
BUF600/601 are 3-stage open-loop buffer amplifiers consisting of complementary emitter followers with a symmetrical
class AB Darlington output stage. The complementary structure provides both sink and source current capability independent of the output voltage, while maintaining constant output
and input impedances. The amplifiers use no feedback, so
their low-frequency gain is slightly less than unity and somewhat dependent on loading. The optimized input stage is
responsible for the high slew rate of up to 3600V/IlS, wide
large signal bandwidth of 320MHz, and quiescent current
reduction to ±3mA (BUF600) and ±6mA (BUF60l). These
features yield an excellent large signal bandwidth/quiescent
current ratio of 320MHz, 5Vp-p at 3mA16mA quiescent
current. The complementary emitter followers of the input
stage work with current sources as loads. The internal PTAT
power supply controls their quiescent current and with its
temperature characteristics keeps the transconductance of the
buffer amplifiers constant. The Typical Performance Curves
show the quiescent current variation versus temperature.
The cross current in the input stage is kept very low, resulting
in a low input bias current of 0.71JA11.51JA and high input
impedance of 4.8Mn II 1pF/2.5MQ II 1pF. The second stage
drives the output transistors and reduces the output impedance
and the feedthrough from output to input when driving RLC
loads.
The input of the BUF600/601 looks like a high resistance
parallel to a picofarad capacitance. The input characteristics
change very little with output loading and input voltage swing.
TheBUF600/601 have excellent input-to-output isolation and
feature high tolerance to variations in source impedances. A
resistor between lOOn and 250n in series with the buffer

input lead will usually eliminate oscillation problems from
inductive sources such as unterminated cables without sacrificing speed.
Another excellent feature is the output-to-input isolation over
a wide frequency range. This characteristic is very important
when the buffer drives different equipment over cables. Often
the cable is not perfect or the tetu1ination is incorrect and
reflections arise that act like a signal source at the output of the
buffer.
Open-loop devices often sacrifice linearity and introduce
frequency distortion when driving low load impedance. The
BUF600/601, however, do not. Their design yields low distortion products. The harmonic distortion characteristics into
loads greater than lOOn (BUF601) and greater than 200n
(BUF600) are shown in the Typical Performance Curves. The
distortion can be improved even more by increasing the load
resistance.
Differential gain (DG) and differential phase (DP) are among
the important specifications for video applications. DG is
defined as the percent change in gain over a specified change
in output voltage level (OV toO.7V.) DPis defined as the phase
change in degrees over the same output voltage change. Both
DG and DP are specified at the PAL subcarrier frequency of
4.43MHz. The errors for differential gain arelowerthanO.5%,
while those for differential phase are lower than 0.04°.
With its minimum 20mA long-term DC output current capability, 50mA pulse current, low output impedance over frequency, and stability to drive capacitive loads, the BUF601
can drive 50n and 75n systems or lines. The BUF600 with
lower quiescent current and therefore higher outputimpedance is well-suited primarily to interstage buffering. This type
of open-loop amplifieris anew and easy-to-use step to prevent
an interaction between two points in complex high-speed
analog circuitry.

The buffer outputs are not current-limited or protected. If the
output is shorted to ground, high currents could arise when the
input voltage is ±3.6V. Momentary shorts to ground (a few
seconds) should be avoided but are unlikely to cause permanent damage.

• A resistor (WOn to 250n) in series with the input of the
buffers may help to reduce peaking.

CIRCUIT LAYOUT

SUGGESTED LAYOUT

The high-frequency performance of the buffer amplifiers
BUF600/601 can be greatly affected by the physical layout of
the printed circuit board. The following tips are offered as
suggestions, not as absolute musts. Oscillations, ringing, poor
bandwidth and settling, and peaking are all typical problems
that plague high-speed components when they are used incorrectly.

A completely assembled and tested demonstration board is
available for the BUF600/601 to speed prototyping. This
board allows easy and fast performance testing during the
design phase and for product qualification. The user can
qualify the most important parameters within hours instead of
days, while avoiding the hassles of an optimized board layout
and power supply bypassing. The complete AC characterization was performed with the same type. Figure 2 shows
schematic and Figure 3 the silk screen and double-sided
layout. RequestDEM-BUF600-IGC or DEM-BUF601-IGC
to test the buffer amplifiers in the 8-pin DIP package.

• Bypass power supplies very close to the device pins. Use
tantalum chip capacitors (approximately 2.211F); a parallel
470nF ceramic chip capacitor may be added if desired.
Surface-mount types are recommended due to their low
lead inductance.

• Plug-in prototype boards and wire-wrap boards will not
function well. A clean layout using RF techniques is
essential-there are no shortcuts.

en

• Use a low-impedance ground plane on the component side
to ensure that low-impedance ground is available throughout the layout.

FIGURE 3. Boosting Op Amp Output Current.

POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation depends on power supply voltage, signal
and load conditions. With dc signals, power dissipation is
equal to the product of output current times the voltage
across the conducting output transistor. Power dissipation
can be minimized by using the lowest possible power supply
voltage necessary to assure the required output voltage
swing.
For resistive loads, the maximum power dissipation occurs
at a dc output voltage of one-half the power supply voltage.
Dissipation with ac signals is lower. Application Bulletin
AB-039 explains how to calculate or measure power dissipation with unusual signals and loads.
Any tendency to activate the thermal protection circuit
indicates excessive power dissipation or an inadequate heat
sink For reliable operation, junction temperature should be
limited to 150°C, maximum. To estimate the margin of
safety in a complete design, increase the ambient temperature until the thermal protection is triggered. The thermal
protection should trigger more than 45°C above the maximum expected ambient condition of your application.

INPUT CHARACTERISTICS
Internal circuitry is protected with a diode clamp connected
from the input to output of the BUF634--see Figure L If the
output is unable to follow the input within approximately 3V
(such as with an output short-circnit), the input will conduct
increased current from the input source. This is limited by
the internal 200(1 resistor. If the input source can be damaged by this increase in load current, an additional resistor
can be connected in series with the input

BANDWIDTH CONTROL PIN
The -3dB bandwidth of the BUF634 is approximately 30MHz
in the low quiescent current mode (L5mA typical). To select
this mode, leave the bandwidth control pin open (no connection).
Bandwidth can be extended to approximately 180MHz by
connecting the bandwidth control pin to V-. This increases
the quiescent current to approximately 15mA. Intermediate
bandwidths can be set by connecting a resistor in series with
the bandwidth control pin-see typical curve "Quiescent

lII

Current vs Resistance" for resistor selection. Characteristics
of the bandwidth control pin can be seen in the simplified
circuit diagram, Figure L

The rated output current and slew rate are not affected by the
bandwidth control, but the current limit value changes slightly.
Output voltage swing is somewhat improved in the wide
bandwidth mode. The increased quiescent current when ill
wide bandwidth mode produces greater power dissipation
during low output current conditions. This quiescent power
is equal to the total supply voltage, (V+ )+IV-I, times the
quiescent current.

BOOSTING OP AMP OUTPUT CURRENT
The BUF634 can be connected inside the feedback loop of
most op amps to increase output current-see Figure 3.
When connected inside the feedback loop, the BUF634's
offset voltage and other errors are corrected by the feedback
of the op amp.
To assure that the op amp remains stable, the BUF634's
phase shift must remain small throughout the loop gain of
the circuit For a 0=+1 op amp circuit, the BUF634 must
contribute little additional phase shift (approximately 20° or
less) at the unity-gain frequency of the op amp. Phase shift
is affected by various operating conditions that may affect
stability of the op amp--see typical Gain and Phase curves.
Most general-purpose or precision op amps remain unitygain stable with the BUF634 connected inside the feedback
loop as shown. Large capacitive loads may require the
BUF634 to be connected for wide bandwidth for stable
operation. High speed or fast-settling op amps generally
require the wide bandwidth mode to remain stable and to
assure good dynamic performance. To check for stability
with an op amp, look for oscillations or excessive ringing on
signal pulses with the intended load and worst case conditions that affect phase response of the buffer.

HIGH FREQUENCY APPLICATIONS
The BUF634' s excellent bandwidth and fast slew rate make it
useful in a variety of high frequency open-loop applications.
When operated open-loop, circuit board layout and bypassing
technique can affect dynamic performance.
For best results, use a ground plane type circuit board layout
and bypass the power supplies with O.lllF ceramic chip

INSTALLATION AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The OPA445 may be operated frOm power supplies up to
±45V or a total of 9OV. Power supplies should be bypassed
with O.022J.IF capacitors, or greater, near the power supply
pins. Be sure that the capacitors are appropriately rated for
the supply voltage used.
The OPA445 can supply output currents of 15mA and
larger. This would present no problem for a standard op amp
operating from ±15V supplies. With high supply voltages,
however, internal power dissipation of the op amp can be
quite large. Operation from a single power supply (or unbalanced power supplies) can produce even larger power dissipation since a larger voltage is impressed across the conducting output transistor.
Dissipation should be limited to 680mW at 25°C. At temperatures above 25°C, the maximum dissipation should be
derated according to the thennal resistance of the package
type used.

Package thermal resistance, 8JC' is affected by mounting
techniques and environments. The figures provided are typical for common mounting configurations with convection
air flow. Poor air circulation and use of sockets can significantly increase thennal resistance. Best thermal performance is achieved by soldering the op amp into a circuit
board with wide printed circuit traces to allow greater
conduction through the op amp leads. Simple clip-on heat
sinks can reduce the thennal resistance of the TO-99 metal
package by as much as 50°CIW.
A short-circuit to ground will produce a typical output
current of 25mA. With ±40V power supplies, this creates an
internal power dissipation of LOW. This exceeds the maximum rating for the device, and is not recommended. Permanent damage is unlikely, however, since the short-circuit
output current will diminish as the junction temperature
rises.

...I

The OPA501 is a high output current operational
amplifier. It can be used in virtually all common op
amp circuits, yet is capable of output currents up to
±1OA. Power supply voltages up to ±40V allow very
high output power for driving motors or other electromechanical loads.
Safe operating area is fully specified, and user-set
current limits provide protection for both the amplifier
and load. The class-B (zero output stage bias) provides
low quiescent current during small-signal conditions.

This rugged hybrid illLt:grat~u (.;ifCu1t Is packaged in a
metal 8-pin TO-3 package. Both industrial and military temperature range models are available.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Grounding techniques can greatly affect the perfonnance of
a power op amp. Figure I shows grounds connected so that
load current does not flow through signal ground connections. Power supply and load connections should be physically separated from the amplifier input and signal connections.
Power supply connections to the amplifier should be bypassed with 101JP tantalum capacitors connected close to the
device pins. The capacitors should be connected to load
ground as shown.

I
I

,FigUrti 2, shows the permissible range of voltage and current. SOA is reduced at high operating temperature-see
Figure 3.
The safe output current decreases as VCB increases. Output
short-circuits are a very demanding. A short-circuit to ground
forces the full power supply voltage (positive or negative
side) across the conducting transistor. With Vs = ±30V, the
current limit must be set for 2A to be safe for short-circuit
to ground. For further infonnation on SOA and evaluating
signal and load conditions, consult Applications Bulletin
AB-039.
HEAT SINKING
Most applications require a heat sink to assure that the
maximum junction temperature of 200°C is not exceeded.
The size of the heat sink required depends on the power
dissipated by the amplifier and ambient temperature conditions. Application Bulletin AB-039 explains how to fmd
maximum power dissipation for dc, ac, reactive loads, and
other conditions. Applications Bulletin AB-038 shows how
to detennine heat sink requirements.

Load

NOTE: (1) 1O~F Tantalum.

The case of the OPA501 is isolated from all circuitry and can
be fastened directly to a heat sink. This eliminates cumbersome insulating hardware that degrades thennal performance. See Applications Bulletin AB-037 for information
on mounting techniques and procedures.

ILThm is the desired maximum current at room temperature in
Amperes and Rsc is in ohms. The current limit value decreases with increasing temperature-see typical performance curves. The current limit resistors conduct the full
amplifier output current. Power. dissipation of the current
limit resistors at maximum current is:

P MAX = (ItIMrd Rsc
The current limit resistors can be chosen from a variety of
types .. Most wire-wound types are satisfactory, although
some physically large resistors may have excessive inductance which can cause instability.

DESCRIPTION
The OPA502 is a high output current operational
amplifier designed to drive a wide range of resistive
and reactive loads. Its complementary class NB
output stage provides superior performance in
applications requiring freedom from crossover distortion. Resistor-programmable current limits provide
protection for botb tbe amplifier and tbe load during
abnormal operating conditions. An adjustable foldover
current limit can also be used to protect against
potentially damaging conditions.
The OPA502 employs a custom monolithic op ampl
driver circuit and rugged complementary output
transistors, providing excellent DC and dynamic
performance.

The industry-standard 8-pin TO-3 package is electrically isolated from all circuitry. This allows tbe
OPA502 to be mounted directly to a heat sink witbout
cumbersome insulating hardware which degrade
tbermal performance. The OPA502 is available in
-40°C to +85°C and -55°C to +125°C temperature
ranges.

The OPA512 employs a laser-trimmed monolithic
integrated circuit to bias the output transistors, providing excellent low-level signal fidelity and high output
voltage swing. The reduced internal parts count made
possible with this monolithic Ie improves performance and reliability.

...I

• SMALL TO-3 PACKAGE

DESCRIPTION
The OPA512 is a high voltage, very-high current
operational amplifier designed to drive a wide variety
of resistive and reactive loads. Its complementary
class AlB output stage provides superior performance
in applications requiring freedom from cross-over distortion. User-set current limit circuitry provides protection to the amplifier and load in fault conditions. A
resistor-programmable voltage-current limiter
circuit may be used to further protect the amplifier
from damaging conditions.

This hybrid integrated circuit is housed in a hermetic
TO-3 package and all circuitry is electrically-isolated
from the case. This allows direct mounting to a chassis
or heat sink without cumbersome insulating hardware
and provides optimum heat transfer.

CURRENT LIMITS

0

Current limit resistors must be provided for proper operation. Independent positive and negative current limit values
may.be selected by choice of R"u. and ReL-' respectively.
Resistor values are calculated by:
RCL = 0.651Iu.. (amps) -D.OO7
This is the nominal current limit value at room temperature.
The maximum output current decreases at high temperature
as shown in the typical performance curve. Most wirewound resistors are satisfactory, but some highly inductive
types may cause loop stability problems. Be sure to evaluate
performance with the actual resistors to be used in production.
HEAT SINKING
Power amplifiers are rated by case temperature (not ambient
temperatnre.) The maximum allowable power dissipation is
a function of the case temperature as shown in the power
derating curve. Load characteristics, signal conditions, and
power supply voltage determine the power dissipated by the
amplifier. The case temperatnre will be determined by the
heat sinking conditions. Sufficient heat sinking must be
provided to keep the case temperature within safe bounds
given the power dissipated and ambient temperature. See
Application Bulletin AB-038 for further details.

under normal load conditions. Sensing both the output current and the output voltage, this limiter circuit increases the
current limit value as the output voltage approaches the
power supply voltage (where power dissipation is low.) This
type of limiting is achieved by connecting pin 7 through a
programming resistor to ground. The V-I limiter circuit is
governed by the equation:
0.28 Vo
0.65 + 20+~
ILIMIT

=-----RCL + 0.007

where:
ILIMIT is the maximum current available at a given output
voltage.

RvI is the value (kO) of the resistor from pin 7 to ground.
RCL is the current limit resistor in ohms.
V 0 is the instantaneous output voltage in volts.

SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA)
The safe area plot provides a comprehensive summary of the
power handling limitations of a power amplifier, including
maximum current, voltage and power as well as the secondary breakdown region (see Figure.) It shows the allowable
output current as a function of the power supply to output
voltage differential (voltage across the conducting power
device.) See Application Bulletin AB-039 for details on
SOA.

Reactive or EMF-generating loads may produce unusual
(perhaps undesirable) waveforms with the V-I limit circuit
driven into limit. Since current peaks in a reactive load do
not align with the output voltage peaks, the output waveform
will not appear as a simple voltage-limited waveform.
Response of the load to the limiter, in fact, may produce a
"backfire" reaction producing unusual output waveforms.

VOLTAGE-CURRENT LIMITER CIRCUITRY
The voltage-current (V-I) limiter circuit provides a means to
protect the amplifier from SOA damage such as a short
circuit to ground, yet allows high output currents to flow

DESCRIPTION
The OPA541 is a power operational amplifier capable
of operation from power supplies up to ±40V and
delivering continuous output currents up to SA. Internal current limit circuitry can be user-programmed
with a single external resistor, protecting the amplifier
and load from fault conditions. The OPA541 is fabricated using a proprietary bipolar/FET process.
Pinout is compatible with popular hybrid power amplifiers such as the OPA511, OPA512 and the 3573.

The OPA541 uses a single current-limit resistor to set
both the positive and negative current limits. Applications currently using hybrid power amplifiers requiring two current-limit resistors need not be modified.
The OPA541 is available in an ll-pin power plastic
package and an industry-standard 8-pin TO-3 hermetic package. The power plastic package has a copper-lead frame to maximize heat transfer. The TO-3
package is isolated from all circuitry, allowing it to be
mounted directly to a heat sink without special insulators.

INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
POWER SUPPLIES
The OPAS41 is specified for operation from power supplies
up to ±40V. It can also be operated from unbalanced power
supplies or a single power supply, as long as the total power
supply voltage does not exceed SOY. The power supplies
should be bypassed with low series impedance capacitors
such as ceramic or tantalum. These should be located as near
as practical to the amplifier's power supply pins. Good
power amplifier circuit layout is, in general, like good high
frequency layout. Consider the path of large power supply
and output currents. Avoid routing these connections near
low-level input circuitry to avoid waveform distortion and
oscillations.
CURRENT LIMIT

Internal current limit circuitry is controlled by a single
external resistor, RCL ' Output load current flows through this
external resistor. The current limit is activated when the
voltage across this resistor is approximately a base-emitter
turn-on voltage. The value of the current limit resistor is
approximately:
(AM, BM, SM)
(AP)

R = O.S09 _ 0.OS7
CL
I~I
R = 0.S13 _ 0.02
CL
IIUM1

Because of the internal strncture of the OPAS41, the actual
current limit depends on whether current is positive or
negative. The above RcLgives an average value. For a given
~, +IoUT will actually be limited at about 10% below the
expected level, while -~UT will be limited about 10% above
the expected level.
The current limit value decreases with increasing temperature due to the temperature coefficient of a base-emitter
junction voltage. Similarly, the current limit value increases
at low temperatures. Current limit versus resistor value and
temperature effects are shown in the Typical Performance
Curves. Approximate values for ~L at other temperatures
may be calculated by adjusting ~ as follows:
LiRCL = -2mV X (T - 2S)
l~lMl

The adjustable current limit can be set to provide protection
from short circuits. The safe short-circuit current depends on
power supply voltage. See the discussion on Safe Operating
Area to determine the proper current limit value.

Sinusoidal outputs create dissipation according .to rills load
current. For the same ~, AC peaks would still be limited
to SA, but rms current would be 3.SA, and a current limiting
resistor with a lower power rating could be used. Some
applications (such as voice amplification) are assured of
signals with much lower duty cycles, allowing a current
resistor with a low power rating. Wire-wound resistors may
be used for R CL. Some wire-wound resistors, however, have
excessive inductance and may cause loop-stability problems. Be sure to evaluate circuit performance with resistor
type planned for production to assure proper circuit operation.
HEAT SINKING

Power amplifiers are rated by case temperature, not ambient
temperature as with signal op amps. Sufficient heat sinking
must be provided to keep the case temperature within rated
limits for the maximum ambient temperature and power
dissipation. The thermal resistance of the heat sink required
may be calculated by:

Commercially available heat sinks often specify their thermal resistance. These ratings are often suspect, however,
since they depend greatly on the mounting environment and
air flow conditions. Actual thermal performance should be
verified by measurement of case temperature under the
required load and environmental conditions.
No insulating hardware is required when using the TO-3
package. Since mica and other similar insulators typically
add approximately 0.7°C/W thermal resistance, their elimination sigruticantly improves thermal performance. See BurrBrown Application Note AN-S3 for further details on heat
sinking. On the power plastic package, the metal tab is
connected to -Vs' and appropriate actions should be taken
when mounting on a heat sink or chassis.
SAFE OPERATING AREA

The safe operating area (SOA) plot provides comprehensive
information on the power handling abilities of the OPAS41.
It shows the allowable output current as a function of the
voltage across the conducting output transistor (see Figure
1). This voltage is equal to the power supply voltage minus
the output voltage. For example, as the amplifier output
swings near the positive power supply voltage, the voltage
across the output transistor decreases and the device can
safely provide large output currents demanded by the load.

Since the full load current flows through ~, it must be
selected for sufficient power dissipation. For a SA current
limit on the TO-3 package, the formula yields an ~ of
0.IOS0 (0.1430 on the power plastic package due to different internal resistances). A continuous SA through 0.IOS0
would require an ~ that can dissipate 2.62SW.

Short circuit protection requires evaluation of SOA. When
the amplifier output is shorted to ground, the full power
supply voltage is impressed across the conducting output
transistor. The current limit must be set to a value which is
safe for the power supply voltage used. For instance, with Vs
±35V, a short to ground would force 35V across the conducting power transistor. A current limit of 1.8A would be safe.

FIGURE 4. Replacing OPA501 with OPA541.

Because one resistor carries the current previously carried
by two, the resistor may require a higher power rating.
Minor adjustments may be required in the resistor value to
achieve the same current limit value. Often, however, the
change in current limit value when changing models is small
compared to its variation over temperature. Many applications can use the same current limit resistor.

u:::

Reactive, or EMF-generating, loads such as DC motors can
present difficult SOA requirements. With a purely reactive
load, output voltage and load current are 90° out of phase.
Thus, peak output current occurs when the output voltage is
zero and the voltage across the conducting transistor is equal
to the full power supply voltage. See Burr-Brown Application Note AN-123 for further information on evaluating
SOA.
REPLACING HYBRID POWER AMPLIFIERS
The OPA541 can be used in applications currently using
various hybrid power amplifiers, including the OPA50l,
OPA5 11 , OPA5l2, and 3573. Of course, the application
must be evaluated to assure that the output capability and
other performance attributes of the OPA541 meet the necessary requirement. These hybrid power amplifiers use two
current limit resistors to independently set the positive and
negative current limit value. Since the OPA541 uses only
one current limit resistor to set both the positive and negative
current limit, only one resistor (see Figure 4) need be
installed. If installed, the resistor connected to pin 2 (TO-3
package) is superfluous, but it does no harm.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 1 shows the OPA544 connected as a basic noninverting amplifier. The OPA544 can be used in virtually
any op amp configuration. Power supply terminals should be
bypassed with low series impedance capacitors. The technique shown, using a ceramic and tantalum type in parallel
is recommended. Power supply wiring should have low
series impedance and inductance.

the conducting transistor. With Vs = ±35V the safe output current
is 1.5 (at 25°C). The short-circuit current is approximately 4A
which exceeds the SOA. This situation will activate the thermal
shutdown circuit in the OPA544. For further insight on SOA,
consult Application Bulletin AB-039.

SAFE OPERATING AREA
Stress on the output transistors is determined by the output
current and the voltage across the conducting output transistor, V CE' The power dissipated by the output transistor is
equal to the product of the output current and the voltage
across the conducting transistor, V CE' The Safe Operating
Area (SOA curve, Figure 2) shows the permissible range of
voltage and current.
The safe output cmrent decreases as VCE increases. Output shortcircuits are a very demanding case for SOA. A short-circuit to
ground forces the full power supply voltage (V+ or V-) across

The OPA544 has an internal current limit set for approximately 4A. This current limit decreases with increasing
junction temperature as shown in the typical curve, Current
Limit vs Temperature. This, in combination with the thermal
shutdown circuit, provides protection from many types of
overload. It may not, however, protect for short-circuit to
ground, depending on the power supply voltage, ambient
temperature, heat sink and signal conditions.

POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation depends on power supply, signal and load
conditions. For dc signals, power dissipation is equal to the
product of output current times the voltage across the conducting output transistor. Power dissipation can be minimized by using the lowest possible power supply voltage
necessary to assure the required output voltage swing.

For resistive loads, the maximum power dissipation occurs
at a dc output voltage of one-half the power supply voltage.

shows an output series RIC compensation network (IQ in
series with O.OIIJF) which generally provides excellent stability. Some variation in circuit values may be required with
certain loads.

HEATSINKING

Some applications do not require equal positive and negative
output voltage swing. The power supply voltages of the
OPA544 do not need to be equal. For example, a ~V
negative power supply voltage assures that the inputs of the
OPA544 are operated within their linear common-mode
range, and that the output can swing to OV. The V+ power
supply could range from 15V to 65V. The total voltage (Vto V+) can range from 20V to 70V. With a 65V positive
supply voltage, the device may not be protected from damage during short-circuits because of the larger VCE durin~
this condition.
~

UNBALANCED POWER SUPPLIES
Most applications require a heat sink to assure that the
maximum junction temperature is not exceeded. The heat
sink required depends on the power dissipated and on
ambient conditions. Consult Application Bulletin AB-038
for information on determining heat sink requirements.
THERMAL PROTECTION
The OPA544 has thermal shutdown that protects the amplifier from damage. Any tendency to activate the thermal
shutdown circuit during normal operation is indication of
excessive power dissipation or an inadequate heat sink.
The thermal protection activates at a junction temperature of
approximately I55'C. For reliable operation, junction temperature should be limited to I50'C, maximum. To estimate
the margin of safety in a complete design (including heat
sink), increase the ambient temperature until the thermal
protection is activated. Use worst-case load and signal conditions. For good reliability, the thermal protection should
trigger more than 25'C above the maximum expected ambient condition of your application. This produces a junction
temperature of 125'C at the maximum expected ambient
condition.
Depending on load and signal conditions, the thermal protection circuit may produce a duty-cycle modulated output
signal. This limits the dissipation in the amplifier, but the
rapidly varying output waveform may be damaging to some
loads. The thermal protection may behave differently depending on whether internal dissipation is produced by
sourcing or sinking output current.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
As with any high frequency circuitry, good circuit layout
technique must be used to achieve optimum performance.
Power supply connections must be bypassed with high
frequency capacitors. Many applications benefit from the
use of two capacitors on each power supply-a ceramic
capacitor for good high frequency decoupling and a tantalum type for lower frequencies. They should be located as
close as possible to the buffer's power supply pins. A large
ground plane is used to minimize high frequency ground
drops and stray coupling.
Pin 6 connects to the substrate of the integrated circuit and
should be connected to ground. In principle it could also be
connected to +Vs or -Vs, but ground is preferable. The
additional lead length and capacitance associated with sockets may cause problems in applications requiring the highest
fidelity of high speed pulses.
Depending on the nature of the input source impedance, a
series input resistor may be required for best stability. This
behavior is influenced somewhat by the load impedance
(including any reactive effects). A value of son to 200n is
typical. This resistor should be located close to the OPA633' s
input pin to avoid stray capacitance at the input which could
reduce bandwidth (see Gain and Phase versus Frequency
curve).

input voltage versus frequency curves. When used to buffer
an op amp's output, the input to the OPA633 is limited, in
most cases, by the op amp. When high frequency inputs can
exceed safe levels, the device must be protected by limiting
the power supply current.
PROTECTION CIRCUITS

The OPA633 can be protected from damage due to excessive currents by the simple addition of resistors in series with
the power supply pins (Figure Sa). While this limits output
current, it also limits voltage swing with low impedance
loads. This reduction in voltage swing is minimal for AC or
high crest factor signals since only the average current from
the power supply causes a voltage drop across the series
resistor. Short duration load-current peaks
supplied by the bypass capacitors.

arm

The circuit of Figure Sb overcomes the limitations of th
previous circuit with DC loads. It allows nearly full output
voltage swing up to its current limit of approximately 140mA.
Both circuits require good high frequency capacitors (e.g.,
tantalum) to bypass the buffer's power supply connections.

The input and output circuitry of the OPA633 are not
protected from overload. When the input signal and load
characteristics are within the devices's capabilities, no protection circuitry is required. Exceeding device limits can
result in permanent damage.
The OPA633's small package and high output current capability can lead to overheating. The internal junction temperature should not be allowed to exceed ISO°C. Although
failure is unlikely to occur until junction temperature
ex(.:eed:s 20QoC, reliability of L"lc pa..4: will be degraded
significantly at such high temperatures. Since significant
heat transfer takes place through the package leads, wide
printed circuit traces to all leads will improve heat sinking.
Sockets reduce heat transfer significantly and are not recommended.
Junction temperature rise is proportional to internal power
dissipation. This can be reduced by using the minimum
supply voltage necessary to produce the required output
voltage swing. For instance, I V video signals can be easily
handled with ±5V power supplies thus minimizing the
internal power dissipation.
Output overloads or short circuits can result in permanent
damage by causing excessive output current. The son or
7Sn series output resistor used to match line impedance
will, in most cases, provide adequate protection. When this
resistor is not used, the device can be protected by limiting
the power supply current. See "Protection Circuits."
Excessive input levels at high frequency can cause increased
internal dissipation and permanent damage. See the safe

Q.

The OPA633 is designed to safely drive capacitive loads up
to 0.0 I J.IF. It must be understood, however, that rapidly
changing voltages demand large output load currents:

INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
POWER SUPPLIES

The OPA2541 is specified for operation from power supplies up to ±40V. It can also be operated from an unbalanced
or a single power supply so long as the total power supply
voltage does not exceed 80V (70V for "AM" grade). The
power supplies should be bypassed with low series impedance capacitors such as ceramic or tantalum. These should
be located as near as practical to the amplifier's power
supply pins. Good power amplifier circuit layout is, in
general, like good high-frequency layout. Consider the path
of large power supply and output currents. Avoid routing
these connections near low-level input circuitry to avoid
waveform distortion and instability.
Signal dependent load current can modulate the power
supply voltage with inadequate power supply bypassing.
This can affect both amplifiers' outputs. Since the second
amplifier's signal may not be related to the first, this will
degrade the inherent channel separation of the OPA2541.
HEAT SINKING

Most applications will require a heat sink to prevent jnnction
temperatures from exceeding the 150°C maximum rating.
The type of heat sink required will depend on the output
signals, power dissipation of each amplifier, and ambient
temperature. The thermal resistance from junction-to-case,
0IC' depends on how the power dissipation is distributed on
the amplifier die.
DC output concentrates the power dissipation in one output
transistor. AC output distributes the power dissipation equally
between the two output transistors and therefore has lower
thermal resistance. Similarly, the power dissipation may be
all in one amplifier (worst case) or equally distributed
between the two amplifiers (best case). Thermal resistances
are provided for each of these possibilities. The case-tojunction temperature rise is the product of the power dissi-

pation (total of both amplifiers) times the appropriate thermal resistance-Ll TIC = (PD total) (OIC)·
Sufficient heat sinking must be provided to keep the case
temperature within safe limits for the maximum ambient
temperature and power dissipation. The thermal resistance
of the heat sink required may be calculated by:
0HS

= (150°C -

Ll TIC - TA)/PD •

Commercially available heat sinks usually specify thermal
resistance. These ratings are often suspect, however, since
they depend greatly on the mounting environment and air
flow conditions. Actual thermal performance should be
verified by measurement of case temperature under the
required load and environmental conditions.
No insulating hardware is required when using the OPA2541.
Since mica and other similar insulators typically add
O.7°CIW thermal resistance, this is a significant advantage.
See Burr-Brown Application Note AN-83 for further details
on heat sinking.
SAFE OPERATING AREA

The Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve provides comprehensive information on the power handling abilities of the
OPA2541. It shows the allowable output current as a function of the voltage across the conducting output transistor
(see Figure 1). This voltage is equal to the power supply
voltage minus the output voltage. For example, as the
amplifier output swings near the positive power supply
voltage, the voltage across the output transistor decreases
and the device can safely provide large output currents
demanded by the load.

The internal current limit will not provide short-circuit
protection in most applications. When the amplifier output is
shorted to ground, the full power supply voltage is impressed across the conducting output transistor. For instance, with Vs = ±35V, a short circuit to ground would
impress 35V across the conducting power transistor. The
maximum safe output current at this voltage is 1.8A, so the
internal current limit would not protect the amplifier. The
unit-to-unit variation and temperature dependence of the
internal current limit suggest that it be used to handle
abnormal conditions and not activated in commonly encountered circuit operation.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
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

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure I shows the OPA2544 connected as a basic noninverting amplifier. The OPA2544 can be used in virtually
any op amp configuration. Power supply tenninals should be
bypassed with low series impedance capacitors. The technique shown, using a ceramic and tantalum type in parallel
is recommended. Power supply wiring should have low.
series impedance and inductance.

The safe output current decreases as V CE increases. Output
short-circuits are a very demanding case for SOA. A shortcircuit to ground forces the full power supply voltage (V+ or
V-) across the conducting transistor. With Vs = ±35V the
safe output current is 1.5 (at 25°C). The short-circuit current
is approximately 4A which exceeds the SOA. This situation
will activate the thermal shutdown circuit in the OPA2544.
For further insight on SOA, consult AB-039.

CURRENT LIMIT
+35V

The OPA2544 has an internal current limit set for approximately 4A. This current limit decreases with increasing
junction temperature as shown in the typical curve, Current
Limit vs Temperature. This, in combination with the thermal
shutdown circuit, provides protection from many types of
overload. It may not, however, protect for short-circuit to
ground, depending on the power supply voltage, ambient
temperature, heat sink and signal conditions.

V+

POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation depends on power supply, signal and load
conditions. For dc signals, power dissipation is equal to the
product of output current times the voltage across the conducting output transistor. Power dissipation can be minimized by using the lowest possible power supply voltage
necessary to assure the required output voltage swing.
For resistive loads, the maximum power dissipation occurs
at a dc output voltage of-one-half the power supply voltage.
Dissipation with ac signals is lower. Application Bulletin
AB-039 explains how to calculate or measure power dissipation with unusual signals and loads.

FIGURE 1. Basic Circuit Connections.

SAFE OPERATING AREA'
Stress on the output transistors is detennined by the output
current and the voltage across the conducting output transistor, VCE' The power dissipated by the output transistor is
equal to the product of the output current and the voltage
across the conducting transistor, V CEo The Safe Operating
Area (SOA curve, Figure 2) shows the pennissible range of
voltage and current.

The case of the OPA2544 is electrically isolated from all
circuitry and can be connected directly to a heat sink. This
eliminates cumbersome insulating hardware that increases
thermal resistance. Consult Application Bulletin AB-037 for
proper mounting techniques and procedures for TO-3. power
products.

The thermal protection activates at a junction temperature of

temperature of 12S"C at the maximum expected ambient
condition.

supply could range from lSV to 6SV. The total voltage (Vto V+) can range from 20V to 70V. With a 6SV positive
supply voltage, the device may not be protected from damage during short-circuits because of the larger VCE during
this condition.

Depending on load and signal conditions, the thermal protection circuit may produce a duty-cycle modulated output
signal. This limits the dissipation in the amplifier, but the
rapidly varying output waveform may be damaging to some
loads. The thermal protection may behave differently depending on whether internal dissipation is produced by
sourcing or sinking output current.

OUTPUT PROTECTION

Reactive and EMF-generating loads can return load current
to the amplifier, causing the output voltage to exceed the
power supply voltage. This damaging condition can be
avoided with clamp diodes from the output terminal to the
power supplies as shown in Figure 2. Fast-recovery rectifier
diodes with a 4A or greater continuous rating are recommended.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure 1 shows the basic connections required to operate the
3583. Power supply bypass capacitors should be connected
close to the device pins. Be sure that these capacitors have an
adequate voltage rating.
Input offset voltage and drift of the 3583 are laser-trimmed.
Many applications require no external offset trimming.
Figure 1 also shows connection of an optional offset trim
potentiometer connected to pins 3 and 4.
PET input circuitry reduces the input bias current of the 3583
to less than 20pA at room temperature. Input bias current
remains nearly constant throughout the full common-mode
range. Input bias current approximately doubles for each 10D C
increase in case temperature above 25 D C. Heat sinking can
help minimize this effect by reducing the case temperature.

The thermal shut-down circuit will normally protect the
amplifier during a short-circuit to ground. It will not protect
against short-circuit to one of the power supplies. The typical
performance curve "Safe Operating Area" shows that the
large stress occurring during this high voltage condition may
cause damage if it exceeds 5ms duration. The thermal
protection circuitry will not activate fast enough to protect
the device from short-circuits to one of the power supplies.
The package case of the 3583 is electrically isolated from all
circuitry. No special insulating hardware is required.
Although not absolutely required, it is recommended that the
case be connected to ground.

4 Instrumentation Amplifiers
Instrumentation amplifiers (lAs) are much more
than just precise op amps. They are closed loop
amplifiers with built-in precision feedback components. Knowledgeable designers use lAs to extract low-level signals from system errors and
noise.
Instrumentation amplifiers can amplify signals in
the presence oflarge common-mode signals. They
are ideal for use with all sensor types such as strain
gages, load cells, thermocouples, RIDs, current
shunts, chemical sensors, and physiological probes.
They also make excellent universal input amplifiers for data acquisition systems.
Programmable gain amplifiers are ideal for systems that must connect to a variety of sources with
varying signal levels. Models include programmable-gairi lAs and op amps.
Choose from the industry's widest selection, including:
INAIOS, INAI06-Simple 0=1 and G=lO difference amplifiers... incredibly versatile circuit elements.
INA114, INAl18-The industry's most versatile
and accurate 8-pin lAs. INAll8 features lowpower operation.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure I shows the basic connections required for operation
of the INAlOl. (Pin numbers shown are for the TO-lOO
metal package.) Applications with noisy or high impedance
power supplies may require decoupling capacitors close to
the device pins as shown.
The output is referred to the output Common tenninal which
is nonnally grounded. This must be a low-impedance connection to assure good common-mode rejection. A resistance greater than 0.10 in series with the Common pin will
cause common-mode rejection to fall below 106dB.

SElTlNG THE GAIN
Gain of the INAIOI is set by connecting a single external
resistor, Ro:
(1)

The 40ill term in equation (1) comes from the sum of the
two internal feedback resistors. These are on-chip metal film
resistors which are laser trimmed to accurate absolute values. The accuracy and temperature coefficient of these
resistors are included in the gain accuracy and drift specifications of the INAIOL
The stability and temperature drift of the external gain
setting resistor, Ro, also affects gain. Ro' s contribution to
gain accuracy and drift can be directly inferred from the gain
equation (1). Low resistor values required for high gain can
make wiring resistance important. Sockets add to the wiring
resistance which will contribute additional gain error (possibly an unstable gain error) in gains of approximately 100 or
greater. The gain sense connections on the DIP and SOL-16
packages (see Figure 2) reduce the gain error produced by
wiring or socket resistance.

OFFSET TRIMMING

voltage can be adjusted with the optional trim circuit connected to the Common pin as shown in Figure 2. The voltage
applied to Common terminal is summed with the output.
Low impedance must be maintained at this node to assure
good common-mode rejection. The op amp connected as a
buffer provides low impedance.

The INAIOI is laser trimmed for low offset voltage and
drift. Most applications require no external offset adjustment. Figure 2 shows connection of an optional potentiometer connected to the Offset Adjust pins for trimming the
input offset voltage. (Pin numbers shown are for the DIP
package.) Use this adjustment to null the offset voltage in
high gain (G ~ 1(0) with both inputs connected to gmund.
Do not use this adjustment to null offset produced by the
source or other system offset since this will increase the
offset voltage drift by O.3,NI"C per lOOI1V of adjusted
offset.

THERMAL EFFECTS ON OFFSET VOLTAGE

To achieve lowest offset voltage and drift, prevent air
currents from circulating near the INA 101. Rapid changes in
temperature will produce a thermocouple effect on the
package leads that will degrade offset voltage and drift. A
shield or cover that prevents air currents from flowing near
the INAIOI will assure best performance.

Offset of the output amplifier usually dominates when the
INA 10 1 is used in unity gain (G = I). The output offset

DISCUSSION OF
PERFORMANCE
INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIERS
Instrumentation amplifiers are differential-input closed-loop
gain blocks whose committed circuit accurately amplifies the
voltage applied to their inputs. They respond mainly to the
difference between the two input signals and exhibit extremely high input impedance, both differentially and common-mode. The feedback networks of this instrumentation
amplifier are included on the monolithic chip. No external
resistors are required for gains of I, 10, 100, and 1000 in the
INA 102.
An operational amplifier, on the other hand, is an open-loop,
uncommitted device that requires external networks to close
the loop. While op amps can be used to achieve the same
basic function as instrumentation amplifiers, it is very difficult to reach the same level of performance. Using op amps
often leads to design tradeoffs when it is necessary to amplify
low-level signals in the presence of common-mode voltages
while maintaining high-input impedances. Figure I shows a
simplified model of an instrumentation amplifier that eliminates most of the problems associated with op amps.

impedance (lO"n) desirable in instrumentation amplifier
applications. The offset voltage, and offset voltage versus
temperature, are low due to the monolithic design, and
improved even further by state-of-the-art laser-trimming
techniques.
The output stage (A3) is connected in a unity-gain differential
amplifier configuration. A critical part of this stage is the
matching of the four 20k(.! resistors which provide the
difference function. These resistors must be initially well
matched and the matching must be maintained over temperature and time in order to retain good common-mode rejection.
All of the internal resistors are made of thin-film nichrome
on the integrated circuit. The critical resistors are lasertrimmed to provide the desired high gain accuracy and
common-mode rejection. Nichrome ensures long-term stability and provides excellent TCR and TCR tracking. This
provides gain accuracy and common-mode rejection when
the INAI02 is operated over wide temperature ranges.

o,..

 I 00), the bias current can cause a large offset error at the
output. This can saturate the output unless the source impedance is separated, e.g., two SOOkO paths instead of one lMQ
unbalanced input. Figures S·through 16 show some typical
applications circuits.

DESCRIPTION
The INA103 is a very low noise, low distortion monolithic instrumentation amplifier. Its current-feedback
circuitry achieves very wide bandwidth and excellent
dynamic response. It is ideal for low-level audio signals
such as balanced low-impedance microphones. The
INA103 provides near-theoretical limit noise performance for 2000 source impedances. Many industrial
applications also benefit from its low noise and wide
bandwidth.

The INA103 is available in 16-pin plastic DIP, 16-pin
ceramic DIP and SOL-16 surface-mount packages.
Commercial and industrial temperature range models
are available.

Unique distortion cancellation circuitry reduces distortion to extremely low levels, even in high gain. Its
balanced input, low noise and low distortion provide
superior performance compared to transformer-coupled
microphone amplifiers used in professional audio equipment.
The INA103's wide supply voltage (±9 to ±25V) and
high output current drive allow its use in high-level
audio stages as well. A copper lead frame in the plastic
DIP assures excellent thermal performance.

Any integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
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 published specifications.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 1 shows the basic connections required for operation,
Power supplies should be bypassed with IIJF tantalum
capacitors near the device pins. The output Sense (pin 11)
and output Reference (pin 7) should be low impedance
connections. Resistance of a few ohms in series with these
connections will degrade the common-mode rejection of the
amplifier.
To avoid oscillations, make short, direct connection to the
gain set resistor and gain sense connections. Avoid running
output signals near these sensitive input nodes.
INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
Certain source impedances can cause the INAI03 to oscillate. This depends on circuit layout and source or cable
characteristics connected to the input. An input network
consisting of a small inductor and resistor (Figure 2) can
greatly reduce the tendancy to oscillate. This is especially

,EBEB,

Z

~
~

useful if various input sources are connected to the INAI03.
Although not shown in other figures, this network can be
used, if needed, with all applications shown.
GAIN SELECTION
Gains of 1 or IOOVN can be set without exterual resistors.
For G = IVN (uuity gain) leave pin 14 open (no connection)-see Figure 4. For G = lOOVN, connect pin 14 to pin
6-see Figure 5.
Gain can also be accurately set with a single exterual resistor
as shown in Figure 1. The two interual feedback resistors are
laser-trimmed to 3kn within approximately ±O.l %. The
temperature coefficient of these resistors is approximately
5Oppm/'C. Gain using an external Ro resistor is-

Accuracy and TCR of the external Ro will also contribute to
gain error and temperature drift. These effects can be directly inferred from the gain equation.
Connections available on Al and A, allow external resistors
to be substituted for the internal 3ill feedback resistors. A
precision resistor network can be used for very accurate and
stable gains. To preserve the low noise of the INAI03, the
value of external feedback resistors should be kept low.
Increasing the feedback resistors to 20ill would increase
noise of the INAI03 to approximately 1.SnV!-YHz. Due to
the current-feedback input circuitry, bandwidth would also
be reduced.

NOISE PERFORMANCE
The INAI03 provides very low noise with low source
impedance. Its InV!,IHz voltage noise delivers near theoretical noise performance with a source impedance of 2000.
Relatively high input stage current is used to achieve this
low noise. This results in relatively high input bias current
and input current noise. As a result, the INAlO3 may not
provide best noise performance with source impedances
greater than Will. For source impedance greater than IOkO,
consider the INA114 (excellent for precise DC applications), or the INAIII FET-input 1A for high speed applications.

FIGURE 2. Input Stabilization Network.
Offset voltage can be trimmed with the optional circuit
shown in Figure 3. This offset trim circuit primarily adjusts
the output stage offset, but also has a small effect on input
stage offset. For a ImV adjustment of the output voltage, the
input stage offset is adjusted approximately IILV. Use this
adjustment to null the INAI03's offset voltage with zero
differential input voltage. Do not use this adjustment to null
offset produced by a sensor, or offset produced by subsequent stages, since this will increase temperature drift.
To offset the output voltage without affecting drift, use the
circuit shown in Figure 4. The voltage applied to pin 7 is
summed at the output. The op amp connected as a buffer
provides a low impedance at pin 7 to assure good commonmode rejection.
Figure 5 shows a method to trim offset voltage in ac-coupled
applications. A nearly constant and equal input bias current
of approximately 2.SI!A flows into both input terminals. A
variable input trim voltage is created by adjusting the balance of the two input bias return resistances through which
the input bias currents must flow.

OFFSET ADJUSTMENT
Offset voltage of the INAlO3 has two components: input
stage offset voltage is produced by Al and A 2 ; and, output
stage offset is produced by A 3 • Both input and output stage
offset are laser trimmed and may not need adjustment in
many applications.

Figure 6 shows an active control loop that adjusts the output
offset voltage to zero. A2, R, and C form an integrator that
produces an offsetting voltage applied to one input of the
INA103. This produces a --6dB/octave low frequency rolloff like the capacitor input coupling in Figure 5.
COMMON-MODE INPUT RANGE

OUTPUT SENSE

An output sense terminal allows greater gain accuracy in
driving the load. By connecting the sense connection at the
load, loR voltage loss to the load is included inside the
feedback loop. Current drive can be increased by connecting a current booster inside the feedback loop as shown in
Figure 11.

For proper operation, the combined differential input signal
and common-mode input voltage must not cause the input
amplifiers to exceed their output swing limits. The linear
input range is shown in the typical performance curve
"Maximum Common-Mode Voltage vs Output Voltage."
For a given total gain, the input common-mode range can be
increased by reducing the input stage gain and increasing the
output stage gain with the circuit shown in Figure 7.

A common problem with many Ie op amps and instrumentation amplifiers is shown In (a). Here, the amplifier's input Is driven beyond Its linear common mode
range, forcing the output of the amplifier into the supply rails. The output then "folds back", i.e., a more positive input voltage now causes the output of the amplifier
to go negative. The INA103 has protection circuitry to prevent fold·back, and as shown in (b), limits cleanly.

For low source impedance applications, an input stage using OPA27 op
amps will give the best low noise, offset, and temperature drift performance.
At source impedances above about 10ka, the bias current noise of the
OPA27 reacting with the input impedance begins to dominate the noise
performance. For these applications, using the OPA 111 or Dual OPA2111
FET input op amp will provide lower noise performance. For lower cost use
the OPA121 plastic. To construct an electrometer use the OPAI28.

DESCRIPTION
The INAI06 is a monolithic Gain=lO differential
amplifier consisting of a precision op amp and on-chip
metal film resistors. The resistors are laser trimmed
for accurate gain and high common-mode rejection.
Excellent TCR tracking of the resistors maintains gain
accuracy and common-mode rejection over temperature.
The differential amplifier is the foundation of many
commonly used circuits. The INA106 provides this
precision circuit function without using an expensive
resistor network. The INA106 is available in 8-pin
plastic DIP and SO-8 surface-mount packages.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 1 shows the basic connections required for operation
of the INAI06. Power supply bypass capacitors should be
connected close to the device pins as shown.

Figure 2 shows a voltage applied to pin I to trim the offset
voltage of the INA 106. The known lOOn source impedance
of the trim circuit is compensated by the IOn resistor in
series with pin 3 to maintain good CMR.

FIGURE 1. Basic Power Supply and Signal Connections.
FIGURE 2. Offset Adjustment.
The differential input signal is connected to pins 2 and 3 as
shown. The source impedance connected to the inputs must
be equal to assure good common-mode rejection. A 5n
mismatch in source impedance will degrade the commonmode rejection of a typical device to approximately 86dB. If
the source has a known source impedance mismatch, an
additional resistor in series with one input can be used to
preserve good common-mode rejection.

Referring to Figure I, the CMR depends upon the match of
the internal R4~ ratio to the R/R, ratio. A CMR of lO6dB
requires resistor matching of 0.005%. To maintain high
CMR over temperature, the resistor TCR tracking must be
better than 2ppm/°C. These accuracies are difficult and
expensive to reliably achieve with discrete components.

The output is referred to the output reference terminal
(pin 1) which is normally grounded. A voltage applied to the
Ref terminal will be summed with the output signal. The
source impedance of a signal applied to the Ref terminal
should be less than IOn to maintain good common-mode
rejection.

To make a high pertormance high gain instrumentation amplifier, the INAI 06

can be combined with state-of-the-art op amps. For low source impedance
applications, OPA37s will give the best noise, offset, and temperature drift. At

source impedances above about 10kn, the bias current noise of the OPA37
reacting with input impedance degrades noise. Forthese applications, use an

DISCUSSION OF
PERFORMANCE
A simplified diagram of the INA I 10 is shown on the first
page. The design consists of the classical three operational
amplifier configuration using current-feedback type op amps
with precision PET buffers on the input. The result is an
instrumentation amplifier with premium performance not
normally found in integrated circuits.
The input section (AI and A2) incorporates high performance, low bias current, and low drift amplifier circuitry.
The amplifiers are connected in the noninverting configuration to provide high input impedance (lOl2Q). Laser-trimming is used to achieve low offset voltage. Input cascoding
assures low bias current and high CMR. Thin-film resistors
on the integrated circuit provide excellent gain accuracy and
temperature stability.
The output section (A3) is connected in a unity-gain difference amplifier configuration. Precision matching of the four
lOill resistors, especially over temperature and time,
assures high common-mode rejection.
BASIC POWER SUPPLV
AND SIGNAL CONNECTIONS

Figure I shows the proper connections for power supply and
signal. Supplies should be decoupled with 1).IF tantalum
capacitors as close to the amplifier as possible. To avoid
gain and CMR errors introduced by the external circuit,
connect grounds as indicated, being sure to minimize ground
resistance. Resistance in series with the reference (pin 6)
will degrade CMR. To maintain stability, avoid capacitance
from the output to the gain set, offset adjust, and input pins.

VOUT

FIGURE 2. Offset Adjustment Circuit.
For systems using computer autozeroing techniques, neither
offset nor offset drift are of concern. In many other applications, the factory-trimmed offset gives excellent results.
When greater accuracy is desired, one adjustment is usually
sufficient. In high gains (> I 00) adjust only the input offset,
and in low gains the output offset. For higher precision in all
gains, both can be adjusted by first selecting high gain and
adjusting input offset and then low gain and adjusting output
offset. The offset adjustment will, however, add to the drift
by approximately 0.33,JVf'C per lOOIlV of input offset
voltage that is adjusted. Therefore, care should be taken
when considering use of adjustment.
Output offsetting can be accomplished as shown in Figure 3
by applying a voltage to the reference (pin 6) through a
buffer. This limits the resistance in series with pin 6 to
minimize CMR error. Be certain to keep this resistance low.
Note that the offset error can be adjusted at this reference
point with no appreciable degradation in offset drift.

With ±Vcc = tSV. R, = 100kn, R2 = lMn.
R, = 10kn, VOFFSETTlNG = ±IS0mV.

FIGURE I. Basic Circuit Connection.
FIGURE 3. Output Offsetting.

OFFSET ADJUSTMENT

Figure 2 shows the offset adjustment circuit for the INAIIO.
Both the offset of the input stage and output stage can be
adjusted separately. Notice that the offset referred to the
INAllO's input (RTI) is the offset of the input stage plus the
offset of the output stage divided by the gain of the input
stage. This allows specification of offset independent of
gain.

Gains other than 1, 10, 100, 200, and 500 can be set by
adding an external resistor, R G , between pin 3 and pins 12,
16, and 11. Gain accuracy is a function of Ra and the internal
resistors which have a ±20% tolerance with 20ppml°C drift.
The equation for choosing Ra is shown below.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE SENSE
(SOL-16 Package Only)

Load

'-------+--.r.t.I~

The surface-mount version of the INAlll has a separate
output sense feedback connection (pin 12). Pin 12 must be
connected, usually to the output terminal, pin 11, for proper
operation. (This connection is made internally on the DIP
version of the INAll1.)
The output feedback connection can be used to sense the
output voltage directly at the load for best accuracy. Figure 8
shows how to drive a load through series interconnection
resistance. Remotely located feedback paths may cause
instability. This can be generally be eliminated with a high
frequency feedback path through Ct.

INPUT COMMON-MODE RANGE
The linear common-mode range of the input op amps of the
INAIIS is approximately±13.7SV (or 1.2SVfrom the power
supplies). As the output voltage increases, however, the linear
input range will be limited by the output voltage swing of the
input amplifiers, Al and 1..,. The common-mode range is
related to the output voltage of the complete amplifier-see
performance curve "Input Common-Mode Range vs Output
Voltage."
A combination of common-mode and differential input signals can cause the output of Al or A2 to saturate. Figure 6
shows the output voltage swing of Al and A2 expressed in
terms of a common-mode and differential input voltages.
Output swing capability of the input amplifiers, Al and A, is
the same as the output amplifier, A3 • For applications where
input common-mode range must be maximized, limit the
output voltage swing by connecting the INA I IS in a lower
gain (see performance curve "Input Common-Mode Voltage
Range vs Output Voltage"). If necessary, add gain after the
INAllS to increase the voltage swing.
Input-overload often produces an output voltage that appears
normal. For example, an input voltage of +20V on one input
and +40V on the other input will obviously exceed the linear

common-mode range of both input amplifiers. Since both
input amplifiers are saturated to the nearly the same output
voltage limit, the difference voltage measured by the output
amplifier will be near zero. The output of the INAIIS will be
near OV even though both inputs are overloaded.
INPUT PROTECTION
The inputs of the INAllS are individually protected for
voltages up to ±40V. For example, a condition of-40V on one
input and +40V on the other input will not cause damage.
Internal circuitry on each input provides low series impedance
undernormal signal conditions. To provide equivalent protection, series input resistors would contribute excessive noise. If
the input is overloaded, the protection circuitry limits the input
current to a safe value (approximately l.SmA). The typical
performance curve "Input Bias Current vs Common-Mode
Input Voltage" shows this input current limit behavior. The
inputs are protected even if the power supply voltage is zero.

DESCRIPTION
The INA117 is a precision unity-gain difference
amplifier with very high common-mode input voltage
range. It is a single monolithic Ie consisting of a
precision op amp and integrated thin-film resistor
network. It can accurately measure small differential
voltages in the presence of common-mode signals up
to ±200V. The INA117 inputs are protected from
momentary common-mode or differential overloads
up to ±SOOV.
In many applications, where galvanic isolation is not
essential, the INA117 can replace isolation amplifiers.
This can eliminate costly isolated input-side power
supplies and their associated ripple, noise and quiescent current. The INAl17's 0.001% nonlinearity and
200kHz bandwidth are superior to those of conventional isolation amplifiers.
The INA 117 is available in 8-pin plastic mini-DIP and
SO-8 surface-mount packages, specified for the ooe to
+700 e temperature range. The metal TO-99 models are
available specified for the -2Soe to +8S oe and -ssoe
to +125°e temperature range.

FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

• LOW OFFSET VOLTAGE: 75~V max

The INA2128 is a low power, general purpose instrumentation amplifier offering excellent accuracy. Its
versatile 3-op amp design and small size make it ideal
for a wide range of applications. Current-feedback
input circuitry provides wide bandwidth even at high
gain (200kHz at 0=100).

• LOW DRIFT: O.75~V/oC max
• LOW INPUT BIAS CURRENT: 2nA max
• HIGH CMR: 110dB min
• INPUTS PROTECTED TO ±40V
• WIDE SUPPLY RANGE: ±2.25 to ±18V

A single external resistor sets any gain from 1 to 10,000.
Internal input protection can withstand up to ±40V
without damage.

• LOW QUIESCENT CURRENT: 1mA Total
• 16·PIN PLASTIC DIP, SOL·16

The INA2128 is laser trimmed for very low offset
voltage (75J.lV), drift (0.75J.lV/°C) and high commonmode rejection (llOdB at G 1000). It operates with
power supplies as low as ±2.25V, and quiescent current
is only 500J.lA per amplifier-ideal for battery operated
systems.

APPLICATIONS

=

• BRIDGE AMPLIFIER
• THERMOCOUPLE AMPLIFIER
• RTD SENSOR AMPLIFIER

The INA2128 is available in 16-pin plastic DIP, and
SOL-16 surface-mount packages, specified for the
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure 1 shows the basic connections required for operation
of the PGA102. Power supplies should be bypassed with
O.IIJP capacitors located close to the device pins.
The inputs for each gain are independent and can be connected to three separate signal sources. Or, for many applications, the three inputs are connected in parallel to form a
single input-see Figure 1. Only the input corresponding to
the selected gain is active, operating as a non-inverting
amplifier. The two inactive inputs behave as open circuits.
The input bias current of the inactive inputs is negligible
compared to that of the selected input.

OFFSET ADJUSTMENT
The offset voltage of each of the three input stages is lasertrimmed. Many applications require no further adjustment.
The optional trim circuit shown in Figure 1 can be used to
adjust the offset voltage. This adjustment affects the offset
of all three gain channels. Since each gain setting may
require a different adjustment of the potentiometer, this
requires a compromise. Often, offset voltage of the G = 100
channel is the most important, so adjustment can be optimized for this channel only. Alternatively, Figure 2 shows a
CMOS switch used to select independent offset adjustment
potentiometers for each of the three channels.
Use these offset adjustment techniques only to null the offset
voltage of the PGA102. Do not null offset produced by the
signal source or other system offsets or this will increase the
temperature drift of the PGA102.

DIGITAL INPUTS
Gain is selected by the digital input pins, "XlO" and "XlOO".
The threshold of these logic inputs is approximately 1.3V
above the voltage on pin 3. For CMOS or TIL logic signals,
connect pin 3 to logic ground. The logic inputs are not
latched. Any change logic inputs immediately selects a new
gain. Switching time is approximately IJ.lS. This does not
include the time required for the analog output to settle to a
new output value (see settling time specifications).
Note that the two logic inputs allow four possible logic
states-see Figure 1 for the logic table. A logic "1" on both
inputs is an invalid code. This will not damage the device,
but the analog output voltage will not be predictable while
this code is applied.

The gain of the G = 10 and G = 100 inputs can be changed
by adding external resistors to the internal feedback network
as shown in Figures 4 and 5. The internal gain-set resistors
trimmed for precise ,ratios, not to exact values. The
internal resistor values are within approximately ±30% of

are

the nominal values, shown on the front page diagram. This
makes the external resistor values in Figures 4 and 5 subject

DISCUSSION OF
PERFORMANCE

OFFSET ADJUSTMENT

A simplified diagram of the PGA2021203 is shown on the
first page. The design consists of a digitally controlled,
differential transconductance front end stage using precision
PET buffers and the classical transimpedance output stage.
Gain switching is accomplished with a novel current steering technique that allows for fast settling when changing
gains. The result is a high performance, programmable
instrumentation amplifier with excellent speed and gain
accuracy.
The input stage uses a new circuit topology that includes
PET buffers to give extremely low. input bias currents. The
differential input voltage is converted into a differential
output current with the transconductance gain selected by
steering the input stage bias current between four identical
input stages differing only in the value of the gain setting
resistor. Each input stage is individually laser-trimmed for
input offset, offset drift and gain.

Figure 2 shows the offset adjustment circuits for the PGA2021
203. The input offset and the output offset are both separately adjustable. Notice that because the PGA2021203 change
between four different input stages to change gain, the input
offset voltage will change slightly with gain. For systems
using computer autozeroing techuiques, neither offset nor
drift is a major concern, but it should be noted that since the
input offset does change with gain, these systems should
perform an autozero cycle after each gain change for optimum performance.
In the output offset adjustment circuit, the choice of the
buffering op amp is very important. The op amp needs to
have low output impedance and a wide bandwidth to maintain full accuracy over the entire frequency range of the
PGA2021203. For these reasons we recommend the OPA602
as an excellent choice for this application.

The output stage is a differential transimpedance amplifier.
Unlike the classical difference amplifier output stage, the
common mode rejection is not limited by the resistor matching. However, the output resistors are laser-trimmed to help
minimize the output offset and drift.

Some applications select gain ,of the PGA204/205 with
switches or jumpers. Figure 2 shows pull-up resistors connected to assure a noise-free logic "1" when the switch,
jwnper or open-collector logic is open or off. Fixed-gain
applications can counect the logic inputs directly to V+ or
V- (or other valid logic level); no resistor is required.

OFFSET VOLTAGE

Voltage offset of the PGA204/205 consists of two components-input stage offset and output stage offset. Both
components are specified in the specification table in equation form:
Digiial ground can ,
alternatively be oomiected
to V- power supply,

9

Vos = VOSI + Voso I G

(1)

where:
Vos total is the combined offset, referred to the input.

FIGURE 2. Switch or Jwnper-Selected Digital Inputs.

VOSI is the offset voltage of the input stage, Al and A 2•

a logic "1" input. A constant current of approximately
1.3mA flows in the digital ground pin. It is good practice to
retwn digital ground through a separate connection path so
that analog ground is not affected by the digital ground
current.
The digital inputs, Ao and AI' are not latched; a change in
logic inputs immediately selects a new gain. Switching time
of the logic is approximately 1jJS. The time to respond to
gain change is effectively the time it takes the amplifier to
settle to a new output voltage in the newly selected gain (see
settling time specifications).
Many applications use an external logic latch to access gain
control data from a high speed data bus (see Figure 7).
Using an external latch isolates the high speed digital bus
from sensitive analog circuitry. Locate the latch circuitry as
far as practical from analog circuitry.

Voso is the offset voltage of the output difference
amplifier, A3•
VOSI and Voso do not change with gain. The composite offset
voltage Vos changes with gain because of the gain term in
equation 1. Input stage offset dominates in high gain (G;::: 100);
both sources of offset may contribute at low gain
(G=l to 10).
OFFSET TRIMMING

Both the input and output stages are laser trimmed for very
low offset voltage and drift. Many applications require no
external offset adjustment.
Figure 3 shows an optional input offset voltage trim circuit.

procedure.

Hydrophone

etc.

Do not use the input offset adjustment to trim system offset
or offset produced by a sensor. Nulling offset that is not
produced by the input amplifiers will increase temperature
drift by approximately 3.3I1V/oC per ImV of offset adjustment.
Many applications that need input stage offset adjustment do
not need output stage offset adjustment. Figure 3 also shows
a circuit for adjusting output offset voltage. First, adjust the
input offset voltage as discussed above. Then program the
device for G=l and adjust the output to zero. Because of the
interaction of these two adjustments at 0=8, the PGA205
may require may require iterative adjustment.

47kQ

Thermocouple

The output offset adjustment can be used to trim sensor or
system offsets without affecting drift. The voltage applied to
the Ref terminal is summed with the output signal. Low
impedance must be maintained at this node to assure good
common-mode rejection. This is achieved by buffering the
trim voltage with an op amp as shown.

NOISE PERFORMANCE

u::

The PGA204/205 provides very low noise in most applications. Low frequency noise is approximately OAI1Vp-p measured from 0.1 to 10Hz. This is approximately one-tenth the
noise of "low noise" chopper-stabilized amplifiers.

-=-

INPUT BIAS CURRENT RETURN PATH
The input impedance of the PGA204/205 is extremely highapproximately 101On. However, a path must be provided for
the input bias current of both inputs. This input bias current
is typically less than ±InA (it can be either polarity due to
cancellation circuitry). High input impedance means that
this input bias current changes very little with varying input
voltage.
Input circuitry must provide a path for this input bias current
if the PGA204/205 is to operate properly. Figure 4 shows
provisions for an input bias current path. Without a bias
current return path, the inputs will float to a potential which
exceeds the common-mode range of the PGA204/205 and
the input amplifiers will saturate. If the differential source
resistance is low, bias current return path can be connected
to one input (see thermocouple example in Figure 4). With
higher source impedance, using two resistors provides a
balanced input with possible advantages of lower input
offset voltage due bias current and better common-mode
rejection.
Many sources or sensors inherently provide a path for input
bias current (e.g. the bridge sensor shown in Figure 4).
These applications do not require additional resistor(s) for
proper operation.

Input-overload often produces an output voltage that appears
normal. For example, consider an input voltage of +20V on
one input and +40V on the other input will obviously exceed
the linear common-mode range of both input amplifiers.
Since both input amplifiers are saturated to the nearly the
same output voltage limit, the difference voltage measured
by the output amplifier will be near zero. The output of the
PGA204/205 will be near OV even though both inputs are
overloaded.

INPUT PROTECTION

The inputs of the PGA204/205 are individually protected for
voltages up to ±40V. For example, a condition of -40V on
one input and +40V on the other input will not cause
damage. Internal circuitry on each input provides low series
impedance under normal signal conditions. To provide
equivalent protection, series input resistors would contribute
excessive noise. If the input is overloaded, the protection
circuitry limits the input current to a safe value (approximately 1.5mA). The typical performance curve "Input Bias
Current vs Common-Mode Input Voltage" shows this input
current limit behavior. The inputs are protected even if no
power supply voltage is present.

The two sense resistors are laser-trimmed to typically m a t c .
within 0.01 %; therefore, when adding parallel resistance t

decrease gain, take care to match the parallel resistance 0
each sense resistor. To maintain high CMR when increasing
the gain of the RCV420, keep the series resistance added to
the feedback network as small as possible. Whether the Rcv
w
Com pin is grounded or connected to a voltage reference for
level shifting, keep the series resistance on this pin as low as
possible. For example, a resistance of 200 on this pin
degrades CMR from 86dB to approximately 80dB. For D.

rent conditions exceeding these specifications. Refer to Figure 6. The simplest and least expensive method is a resistor
as shown in Figure 6a. The value of the resistor is determined
from the expression
~ = Vcc/40mA -750
and the full scale voltage drop is

VRX =.20mA

x~.

For a system operating off of a 32V supply Rx = 7250 and
VRX =14.5V.1n applications that cannot tolerate such a large
voltage drop, use circuits 6b or 6c. In circuit 6b a power JFET
and source resistor are used as a current limit. The 2000
potentiometer, ~, is adjusted to provide a current limit of
approximately 30mA. This circuit introduces a 1-4V drop at
full scale. If only a very small series voltage drop at full scale
can be tolerated, then a O.032A series 217 fast-acting fuse
should be used, as shown in Figure 6c.

a) Rx =(V+)/40mA - 750

For automatic fold-back protection, use the circuit shown in
Figure IS.
b) Rx set for 30mA current fimtt at 25°C.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The RCV420 contains a precision IOV reference. Figure 8
shows the circuit for output voltage adjustment. Trimming
the output will change the voltage drift by approximately
O.007pprn/"C per mV of trimmed voltage. Any mismatch in
TCR between the two sides of the potentiometer will also
affect drift, but the effect is divided by approximately 5. The
trim range of the voltage reference using this method is
typically ±40OmV. The voltage reference trim can be used to
trim offset errors at the output of the RCV420. There is an 8: 1
voltage attenuation from Ref IIi to Rcv Out, and thus the trim
range at the output of the receiver is typically ±5OmV
The high-frequency noise (to I MHz) of the voltage reference
is typically ImVp-p. When the voltage reference is used for
level shifting, its noise contribution at the output of the
receiver is typically 12511VP-P due to the 8:1 attenuation
from Ref In to Rcv Out. The reference noise can be reduced
by connecting an external capacitor between the Noise Reduction pin and ground. For example, O.lJlF capacitor reduces the high-frequency noise to about200I1Vp-p at the
output of the reference and about 2511V pop at the output of
the receiver.

c) ~ is O.032A, Lifflefuse Series 217 fast-acting fuse.

DESCRIPTION
The XTR101 is a microcircuit, 4-20mA, tWo-wire
transmitter contaiuing a high accuracy instrumentation amplifier (IA), a voltage-controlled output current
source, and dual-matched precision current reference.
This combination is ideally suited for remote signal
conditioning of a wide variety of transducers such as
thermocouples, RIDs, thermistors, and strain gauge
bridges. State-of-the-art design and laser-trimming,
wide temperature range operation and small size make
it very suitable for industrial process control applications. In addition, the optional external transistor allows even higher precision.
The two-wire transmitter allows signal and power to
be supplied on a single wire-pair by modulating the
power supply current with the input signal source. The
transmitter is inunune to voltage drops from long runs
and noise from motors, relays, actuators, switches,
transformers, and industrial equipment. It can be used
by OEMs producing transmitter modules or by data
acquisition system manufacturers.

NOTES: (1) See Typical Performance Curves_ (2) Span error shown is untrimmed and may be adjusted to zero. (3) e, and e, are signals on the -In and +In terminats
with respect to the output, pin 7. While the maximum permissible Ae is 1V, tt is primarily intended lor much lower input signal levels, e.g., 10mV or 50mV full scale for
the XTR101A and XTR101B grades respectively_ 2mV FS is also possible with the B grade, but accuracy will degrade due to possible errors in lhe low value span
resistance and very high amplification of offset, drift, and noise. (4) Offset vollage is \rimmed with lhe application of a 5V common-mode voltage_ Thus the associated

THEORY OF OPERATION
A simplified schematic of the XTRI01 is shown in: Figure 1.
Basically the amplifiers, A[ and A" act as a single power
supply instrumentation amplifier controlling a current source,
A3 and Q[. Operation is determined by an internal feedback
loop. e[ applied to pin 3 will also appear at pin 5 and
similarly e2 will appear at pin 6. Therefore the current in Rs,
the span setting resistor, will be Is = (e2 - e[)1R" = emIRs.
This current combines with the current, ~, to form 1[. The
circuit is configured such that 12 is 19 times II" From this
point the derivation of the transfer function is straightforward but lengthy. The result is shown in Figure 1.
Examination of the transfer function shows that 10 has a
lower range-limit of 4mA when t1N = e2 - e[ = OV. This 4mA
is composed of 2mA quiescent current exiting pin 7 plus
2mA from the current sources. The upper range limit of 10
is set to 20mA by the proper selection of Rs based on the
upper range limit of eIN• Specifically Rs is chosen for a
16mA output current span for the given full scale input
voltage span; i.e., (0.016U+ 401R,,)(eIN full scale) = 16mA.
Note that since 10 is unipolar e2 must be kept larger than e[;

i.e., eo ~ e[ or eIN ~ O. Also note that in order not to exceed
the output upper range limit of 20mA, t1N must be kept less
than IV when Rs = 00 and proportionately less as Rs is
reduced.

INSTALLATION AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BASIC CONNECTION
The basic connection of the XTR101 is shown in Figure 1.
A difference voltage applied between input pins 3 and 4 will
cause a current of 4-20mA to circulate in the two-wire
output loop (through RL , Vps , and D[). For applications
requiring moderate accuracy, the XTR101 operates very
cost-effectively with just its internal drive transistor. For
more demanding applications (high accuracy in high gain)
an external NPN transistor can be added in parallel with the
internal one. This keeps the heat out of the XTR101 package
and minimizes thermal feedback to the input stage. Also in

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Negative input voltage, VIN' will cause tIle output current to
be less than 4mA. Increasingly negative VIN will cause the
output current to limit at approximately 3.6mA.

Figure 1 shows the basic connection diagram for the XTRlO3.
The loop power supply, VPS provides power for all circuitry.
Output loop current is measured as a voltage across the
series load resistor, Ru

Increasingly positive input voltage (greater than VFS) will
produce increasing output current according to the transfer
function, up to the output current limit of approximately
34mA.

Two matched 0.8mA current sources drive the RTD and
zero-setting resistor, Rz. The instrumentation amplifier input
of the XTRI03 measures the voltage difference between the
RTD and Rz. The value of Rz is chosen to be equal to the
resistance of the RTD at the low-scale (minimum) measurement temperature. Rz can be adjusted to achieve 4mA output
at the minimum measurement temperature to correct for
input offset voltage and reference current mismatch of the
XTRlO3.

EXTERNAL TRANSISTOR
Transistor QI conducts the majority of the signal-dependent
4-20mA loop current. Using an external transistor isolates
the majority of the power dissipation from the precision
input and reference circuitry of the XTRlO3, maintaining
excellent accuracy.

Rc.. provides an additional voltage drop to bias the inputs of

Since the external transistor is inside a feedback loop its
characteristics are not critical. Requirements are: VCEO =
45V min, fJ =40 min and Po = 800mW. Power dissipation
requirements may be lower if the loop power supply voltage
is less than 40V. Some possible choices for Q! are listed in
Figure 1.

the XTRlO3 within their common-mode range. Resistor, Ra,
sets the gain of the instrumentation amplifier according to
the desired temperature measurement range.
The transfer function through the complete instrumentation
amplifier and voltage-to-current converter is:

The XTRlO3 can be operated without this external transistor
by conneCting pin 11 to 14 (see Figure 2). Accuracy will be
somewhat degraded by the additional internal power dissipation. This effect is most pronounced when the input stage is
set for high gain (for low full-scale input voltage). The
typical performance curve "Input Offset Voltage vs Loop
Supply Voltage" describes this behavior.

10 = VIN " (0.016 + 401Ro) + 4mA,
(VIN in volts,

Ro in ohms, RUN = 00)

where VIN is the differential input voltage. With no Ra
connected (Ro= 00), a OV to IV input produces a 4-20mA
output current. With Ra = 25Q, a OV to lOmV input produces a 4-20mA output current. Other values for Ra can be
calculated according to the desired full-scale input voltage,
VFS' with the formula in Figure 1.

The low operating voltage (9V) of the XTR103 allows
operation directly from personal computer power supplies
(12V ±5%). When used with the RCV420 Current Loop
Receiver (Figure 8), load resistor voltage drop is limited to
1.5V.
LINEARIZATION
On-chip linearization circuitry creates a signal-dependent
variation in the two matching current sources. Both current
sources are varied equally according to the following equation:

a:

This varying excitation provides a 2nd-order term to the
transfer function (including the RID) which can correct the
RID's nonlinearity. The correction is controlled by resistor
RLIN which is chosen according to the desired temperatura
measurement range. Table I provides the Ro, Rz and RLI
'
resistor values for a PtlOO RTD.

FIGURE 2. Operation Without External Transistor.
LOOP POWER SUPPLY
The voltage applied to the XTR103, V+, is measured with
respect to the 10 connection, pin 7. V+ can range from 9V to
40V. The loop supply voltage, Vps, will differ from the
voltage applied to the XTR103 according to the voltage drop
on the current sensing resistor, RL (plus any other voltage
drop in the line).
If a low loop supply voltage is used, RL must be made a
relatively low value to assure that V + remains 9V or greater
for the maximum loop current of 20mA. It may, in fact, be
prudent to design for V+ equal or greater than 9V with loop
currents up to 34mA to allow for out-of-range input conditions. The typical performance curve "Loop Resistance vs
Loop Power Supply" shows the allowable sense resistor
values for full-scale 20rnA.

If no linearity correction is desired, do not connect a resistor
to the RLIN pins (RLJN = co). This will cause the excitation
current sources to remain a constant 0.8mA.
ADJUSTING INITIAL ERRORS
Most applications will require adjustment of initial errors.
Offset errors can be corrected by adjustment of the zero
resistor, Rz.
Figure 3 shows another way to adjust zero errors using the
output current adjustment pins of the XTRI03. This provides a minimum of ±300J.IA (typically ±500J.IA) adjustment
around the iuitiallow-scale output current. This is an output
current adjustment which is independent of the input stage

Then, RUN can be calculated using equation 5 using the
accurate value of KLIN from equation 7. KUN can be a
different value for each XTRI04.
It is also possible to make a real-time adjustment of RUN with
a variable resistor (active circuit trimming). This is done by
measuring the change in VR in response to a zero-to-VFS
change in voltage applied to the VUN inputs. To correct for
each I % of nonlinearity, the excitation voltage, VR' must
make a 4% change at full-scale input. So the change in
reference voltage, /:N R' for a full-scale change in VLIN can be
calculated by:

!!VR = 0.2' B

OTHER SENSOR TYPES
The XTRI04 can be used with a wide variety of inputs. Its
high input impedance instrumentation amplifier is versatile
and can be configured for differential input voltages from
millivolts to a maximum of I V full scale. The linear common-mode range of the inputs is from 2V to 4V, referenced
to the 10 terminal, pin 7.
You can use the linearization feature of the XTRI04 with
any sensor whose output is ratiometric with an excitation
voltage. For example, Figure 5 shows the XTRI04 used with
a potentiometer position sensor.

(8)

REVERSE·VOLTAGE PROTECTION
Example: A bridge sensor has a -1.9% nonlinearity. Apply
the full-scale bride output, V FS (10mV), to the V UN inputs
and adjust RUN for:
VR' = 5V + 0.2 • B = 4.62V
Note that with all the calculation and adjustment methods
described above, the full-scale bridge output is no longer
equal to V FS because the excitation voltage at full scale is no
longer 5V. All the calculations and adjustment procedures
described above assume VFS to be the full-scale bridge
output with constant 5V excitation. It is not necessary to
iterate the calculations or adjustment procedures using the
new full-scale bridge output as a starting point. However, a
new value for Ro must be calculated using equation 6.
A refined value for RLIN, arrived at either by active circuit
trimming, or by measuring linearization gain (equation 7)
will improve linearity. Reduction of the original parabolic
nonlinearity of the sensor can approach 40: I. Actual results
will depend on higher-order nonlinearity of the sensor.

If no linearity correction is desired, make no connections to
the RUN pins (RUN = 00). This will cause the VR output to
remain a constant +5V. The V+LIN and V-LIN inputs should
remain connected to the bridge output to keep these inputs
biased In theIr active region.

~

Figure 6 shows two ways to protect against reversed output
connection lines. Trade-offs in an application will determine
which technique is better. D, offers series protection, but
causes a 0.7V loss in loop supply voltage. This may be
undesirable if V+ can approach the 9V limit. Using D
(without D,) has no voltage loss, but high current will
in the loop supply if the leads are reversed. This coul
damage the power supply or the sense resistor, RL' A diode
with a higher current rating is needed for D2 to withstand the
highest current that could occur with reversed lines.

SURGE PROTECTION
Long lines may be subject to voltage surges which can
damage semiconductor components. To avoid damage, the
maxinJum applied voltage rating for the XTRI04 is 40V. A
zener diode can be used for D2 (Figure 7) to clamp the
voltage applied to the XTRI04 to a safe level. The loop
power supply voltage must be lower than the voltage rating
of the zener diode.
There are special zener diode types (Figure 7) specifically
designed to provide a very low impedance clamp and withstand large energy surges. These devices normally have a
diode characteristic in the forward direction which also

Bypass capacitors on the input often reduce or eliminate this
interference. Connect these bypass capacitors to the Io terminal (see Figure 7). Although the DC voltage at the Io
terminal is not equal to OV (at the loop supply, VpS) this
circuit point can be considered the transmitter's "ground".

protects against reversed loop connections. As noted earlier,
reversed loop connections would produce a large loop Cl!l'rent, possibly damaging RL'
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE

The long wire lengths of current loops invite radio frequency
interference. RF can be rectified by the sensitive input
circnitry of the XTRI04 causing errors. This generally
appears as an unstable output current that varies with the
position of loop supply or input wiring.

LOW-IMPEDANCE BRIDGES

Low impedance bridges can be used with the XTRI04 by
adding series resistance to limit excitation current to S2mA.
Equal resistance should be added to the upper and lower
sides of the of the bridge (Figure 8) to keep the bridge ontput
voltage centered at approximately 2.5V. Bridge output is
reduced, so a preamplifier, as shown, may be needed to
reduce offset and drift.

If the bridge sensor is remotely located from the XTRI04,
the interference may enter at the input terminals. For integrated transmitter assemblies with short connections to the
sensor, the interference more likely comes from the current
loop connections.

FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

• SENSOR EXCITATION OF 1W

The XTRSOI contains a high efficiency DCIDC converter and 4-20mA three wire current transmitter. It
provides regulated bridge excitation, optional half
bridge, differential inputs and current transmitter necessary for the excitation and signal conditioning of
low impedance bridge sensors and high integrity signal transmission.

• VARIABLE EXCITATION VOLTAGE:
1.5V to 5.0V
• SINGLE SUPPLY: 11.4V to 30VDC
• INRUSH CURRENT LIMITING
• 4-20mA TRANSMITTER

APPLICATIONS
• GAS DETECTION SENSORS
• PELLISTOR CATALYTIC DETECTORS
• STRAIN GAGES
• HIGH CURRENT BRIDGES

The DC/DC converter is capable of supplying 1W into
a regulated bridge voltage of l.SV to S.OV from a
supply of 11.4V to 30V. The combination of a low
startup current and high efficiency current step-up
allows for a combined supply line resistance of up to
lOOn when exciting low impedance sensors.
The instrumentation amplifier of the current transmitter can be used over a wide range of gains, accommodating a variety of input signals and sensors.

• LOAD CELLS
• HOT-WIRE ANEMOMETERS

The XTRSOI is particularly suited to excitation of
high currentllow impedance sensors used in bridge
applil;auuHs allowing the use of lighter cabling leading to considerable savings on cabling costs.

open circuit sensor detection for use with RID and
thermocouple temperature sensors. In addition to temperature measurement, the ISC300 can accept full
scale input voltages of ±100mV and ±lOV which
allows use with other sensors such as pressure, humidity and flow sensors. The low level resistance measurement capability also allows stimulus and measure9

ment of strain gauges. The measurement channel has
a highly stable internal reference which can be selected from the output side. This allows the user to
calibrate each channel at the factory, record the calibration data and periodically recalibrate the system
while in use over time and ambient temperature
changes.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ISC300 has no galvanic connection between the input
and output sections. The differential input signal is multiplied by the progranunable gain amplifier and accurately
transferred across the isolation barrier to the output. The
output section demodulates the signal transferred from the
input section and transfers power to the input section.
ISC300 DESIGN
The ISC300 consists of:
• A filtered differential high impedance input.
• Precision matched current sources.
• Fault detect bias resistors.
• Digitally selectable internal calibration references.
• Digitally selectable gain.
• Isolation of all digital and analog signals.
• Isolated DC/DC converter.
• Synchronizable internal oscillator.
• Two isolated power supplies available for external circuitry.
• Externally available lOY reference.
INPUT SECTION

Sense Lines
The two sense lines can be configured to detect short or open
circuits e.g. transducer bum out. This would be indicated by
an out of range output (see Input Configuration in Applications section).
Multiplexer

The multiplexer is used to route either the measurement
channel or the precision voltage references (used in system
calibration) to the programmable gain amplifier.
Isolation Barrier

The isolation barrier consists of two transformers and three
opto couplers. One transformer transmits the sigual from the
input side to the output side. The other transmits power from
the output side to the input side. The opto-couplers are used
to isolate the logic used for mux select, gain and reference
voltage control.

o
oC")

o

Voltage Reference

~

The voltage reference provides lOY, 0.1 V and OV references
for channel calibration. The 10V reference is also aVailablD
externally.

Filter

Since the ISC300 is designed to measure slowly changing
processes, the input filter is set for a cut off frequency of
2Hz. This gives good noise rejection at power frequencies of
50Hz and 60Hz.

Current References

Two matched 20011A current references are available for the
excitation of RTDs or for use in external signal conditioning
circuitry.

PGA
The programmable gain amplifier allows the user to digitally
select device gains of O.S and SO, allowing input ranges of
±O.lV or, ±10V full scale. When used in conjunction with
the O.lV, lOV and common references, channel calibration
can be performed.

Isolated Supplies
Two 13V isolated supplies, capable of supplying SmA each,
are available to power signal conditioning circuitry.

overvoltages below this level will not cause any damage.
The extinction voltage is above SOOVrms so that even
overvoltage-induced partial discharge will cease once the
barrier voltage is reduced to the rated level. Older high
voltage test methods relied on applying a large enough
overvoltage (above rating) to catastrophically break down
marginal parts, but not so high as to damage good ones. Our
new partial discharge testing gives us more confidence in
barrier reliability than breakdown/no breakdown criteria.

BASIC OPERATION

OUTPUT SECTION

SIGNAL AND SUPPLY CONNECTIONS

The output section passes power across the isolation barrier
to provide the isolated supplies, and demodulates the signal
transmitted back across the isolation barrier.

As with any mixed signal analog and digital signal component, correct decoupling and signal routing precautions must
be observed to optimize performance. The ISC300 has an
internal O.l~ decoupling capacitor at Vce' so additional Vee
decoupling will not be necessary. However, a ground plane
will minimize potential noise problems. If a low impedance
ground plane is not used, Com 2 should be tied directly to
the ground at the supply. It is not necessary to connect
DCom 2 and Com 2 at the device. Layout practices associated with isolation signal conditioners are very important.
The capacitance associated with the barrier and series resistance in the signal and reference leads must be minimized.
Any capacitance across the barrier will increase AC leakage,
and in conjunction with ground line resistance, may degrade
high frequency IMR, see Figure 2.

ABOUT THE BARRIER
For any isolation product, barrier integrity is of paramount
importance in achieving high reliability. The ISC300 uses
miniature transformers designed to give maximum isolation
performance when encapsulated in a high dielectric strength
material. The device is designed so that the barrier is located
at the center of the package.

HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING
Burr-Brown Corporation has adopted a partial discharge test
criterion that conforms to the German VDE0884 Optocoupler Standards. This method requires the measurement of
minute current pulses «SpC) while applying 800Vrms,
60Hz high-voltage stress across every device isolation barrier. During a two second test partial discharge must occur
five times on five separate half cycles of 60Hz, and each
time occurrence must not be separated by a line period of
more than four half cycles in order to produce a partial
discharge fail. This confirms transient overvoltage (1.6 X
Vnoted) protection without damage. Life-test results verify the
absence of failure under continuous rated voltage and maximum temperature.
This new test method represents the "state-of-the-art" for
nondestructive high voltage reliability testing. It is based on
the effects of non-uniform fields existing in heterogeneous
dielectric material during barrier degradation. In 'the case of
void non-uniformities, electric field stress begins to ionize
the void region before bridging the entire high voltage
barrier.

INPUT CONFIGURATION
The ISC300 allows easy configuration for temperature measurement using an RID. Figure 3 shows the basic,connections for RID operation. The two reference currents excite
the resistance transducer and a current-to-voltage conversion is made corresponding to the resistance value of the
transducer. If a gain of SO is selected, a IOn resistance value
results in a (10 • 200J.IA) • SO = 0.1 V output; the soon full
scale value gives a (SOO • 200J.IA) • SO = SV output. The
connection of the sense line allows open circuit sensor
detection. An open circuit will give a corresponding >S.l V
output. A short circuit will give a corresponding <0.1 V
output. See the Applications section under Fault Conditions
for more information.

The transient conduction of charge during and after the
ionization can be detected externally as a burst of 0.01118 0.1118 current pulses that repeat on each AC voltage cycle.
The minimum AC barrier voltage that initiates partial discharge is defined as the "inception voltage." Decreasing the
barrier voltage to a lower level is required before partial
discharge ceases and is defined as the "extinction voltage."
We have designed and characterized the package to yield an
inception voltage in excess of 800Vrms so that transient

a second pair of wires. Very little current flows through the
voltmeter, therefore the lead resistance error contribution is
negligible. Three wire resistance measurements also avoid
lead length resistance errors.

DESCRIPTION
The ISO I 00 is an optically-coupled isolation amplifier. High accuracy, linearity, and time-temperature
stability are achieved by coupling light from an LED
back to the input (negative feedback) as well as forward to the output. Optical components are carefully
matched and t..l!e a.rnplifier is actively laser-trimmed to

assure excellent tracking and low offset errors.
The circuit acts as a current-to-voltage converter with
a minimum of 750V (2500V test) between input and
output terminals. It also effectively breaks the galvanic connection between input and output commons
as indicated by the ultra-low 60Hz leakage current of
0.3J.IA at 250V. Voltage input operation is easily
achieved by using one external resistor.
Versatility along with outstanding DC and AC performance provide excellent solutions to a variety of
challenging isolation problems. For example, the
ISOIOO is capable of operating in many modes, including: noninverting (unipolar and bipolar) and inverting (unipolar and bipolar) configurations. Two
precision current sources are provided to accomplish
bipolar operation. Since these are not required for
unipolar operation, they are available for external use

(see Applications section).

Q.

Z

Designs using the ISOIOO are easily accomplished
with relatively few external components. Since VOUT
of the IS0100 is simply IINR", gains can be changed
by altering one resistor value. In addition, the ISO I 00
has su..f:ficient bandwidth (DC to 60kHz) to amplify
most industrial and test equipment signals.

NOTES: (1) 100% tested at rated continuous for one minute. (2) Isolation-mode rejection is the ratio olthe change in output voltage to a change in isolation barriervoltage.
It is a function of frequency as shown in the Typical Performance Curves. This is specified for barrier voltage slew rates not exceeding 100V/jJ.S. (3) Adjustable to zero.
FSR = Full Scale Range = 20V. (4) Nonlinearity is the peak deviation of the oulput voltage from the best fit straight line. It is expressed as the ratio of deviation to FSR.
(5) Power supply rejection = change in Vo.!20V supply change. (6) Ripple is the residual component of the barrier carrier frequency generated internally. (7) Dynamic
range = FSRI(voltage spectral noise density x square root of user bandwidth). (8) Overshoot can be eliminated by band-limiting. (9) See "Power Dissipation vs
Temperature" performance curve for limitations. (10) Band limited to 10Hz, bypass capacitors located less than 0.25" from supply pins.

This pin is an optional signal input. A series 5kn petentiometer between this pin and the input signal allows a guaranteed ±1.50/0 gain adjustment
range. When gain adjustment is not required, the Gain Adjust should be left open. Figure 4 illustrates the gain adjustment connection.

+5V reference output. This low·drift zener voltage reference is necessary for setting the bipolar offset point of the input stage. This pin must

be strapped to either Offset or Offset Ad/ust to allow the isolaUon amplifier to function. The reference is often useful for input signal

This output is short circuit

+5V reference output. This reference circuit is identical to, but independent of, Reference,. It controls the bipelar offset of the output stage through

an internal connection. This output is short·circuit protected.

Offset
Adjust

This pin is for optional offset control. When connected to the Reference, pin through a 1kn petentiometer, ±150mV of adjustment range is
guaranteed. Under this condition, the Oftset pin should be connected to the Offset Adjust pin. When oftset adjustment is not required, the Offset
Adjust pin is left open. See Figure 4.

Digital

Digital common or ground. This separate ground carries currents from the digital portions of the output stage circu". The best grounding practices require that digital common current does not flow in analog common connections. Both pins can be tied directly to a ground plane if available.
Difference in potentials between the Common 2 and Digital Common pins can be ±lV. See Figure 2.

Common

Signal output. Because the isolation amplffier has unity gain, the output signal is ideally identical to the input signal. The output is low impedance

and is short-cIrcuit protected. This Signal is referenced to Common2; subsequent circuitry should have a separate "sense" connection to Common 1
as well as Your
Cl , C2

CapaCitors for small signal bandwidth control. These pIns connect to the internal rallaff frequency controlling nodes of the output low-pass filter.
Additional capacitance added to these pins will modify the bandwidth of the buffer. C, is always twice the value of C,. See "Bandwidth Control"

performance curve for the relationship between bandwidth and C1 and C2• When no connections are made to these pins, the full small·signal
bandwidth is maintained. Be sure to shield C, and C, pins from high electric fields on the PC board. This preserves AC isolation-mode rejection
by reducing capacitive coupling effects.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The IS0102 and ISOI06 have no galvanic connection between the input and output. The analog input signal referenced to the input common is accurately duplicated at the
output referenced to the output common. Because the barrier
information is digital, potentials between the two commons
can assume a wide range of voltages and frequencies without influencing the output signal. Signal information remains undisturbed until the slew rate of the barrier voltage
exceeds lOOVfllS. The isolation amplifier's ability to reject

A simplified diagram of the IS0102 and ISO 106 is shown in
Fignre 1. The design consists of an input voltage-controlled
oscillator (VeO) also known as a voltage-to-frequency converter (VFC), differential capacitors, and output phase lock
loop (PLL). The input veo drives digital levels directly into
the two 3pF barrier capacitors. The digital signal is frequency modulated and appears differentially across the barrier, while the externally applied isolation voltage appears
common-mode.

A sense amplifier detects only the differential infonnation.
The output stage decodes the frequency modulated signal by
the means of a PLL. The feedback of the PLL employs a
second VCO that is identical to the encoder VCO. The PLL
forces the second VCO to operate at the same frequency
(and phase) as the encoder VCO; therefore, the two VCOs
have the same input voltage. The input voltage of the
decoder VCO serves as the isolation buffer's output signal
after passing through a 100kHz second-order active filter.
For a more detailed description of the internal operation of
the IS0102 and ISOI06, refer to Proceedings of the 1987
International Symposium on Microelectronics, pages 202206.
ABOUT THE BARRIER

For any isolation product, barrier composition is of paramount importance in achieving high reliability. Both the
ISOlO2 and ISOlO6 utilize two 3pF high voltage ceramic
coupling capacitors. They are constructed of tungsten thick
film deposited in a spiral pattern on a ceramic substrate.
Capacitor plates are buried in the package, making the
barrier very rugged and hennetically sealed. Capacitance
results from the fringing electric fields of adjacent metal
runs. Dielectric strength exceeds IOkV and resistance is
typically 1014Q. Input and output circuitry are contained in
separate solder-sealed cavities, resulting in the industry's
first fully hennetic hybrid isolation amplifier.

The ISOI02 and ISO 106 are designed to be free from partial
discharge at rated voltages. Partial discharge is a fonn of
localized breakdown that degrades the barrier over time.
Since it does not bridge the space across the barrier, it is
difficult to detect. Both isolation amplifiers have been extensively evaluated at high temperature and high voltage.
POWER SUPPL V AND SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
Figure 2 shows the proper power supply and signal connections. Each supply should be AC-bypassed to Analog Common with 0.11JF ceramic capacitors as close to the amplifier
as possible. Short leads will minimize lead inductance. A
ground plane will also reduce noise problems. Signal common lines should tie directly to the common pin even if a
low impedance ground plane is used. Refer to Digital Common in the Pin Descriptions table.

To avoid gain and isolation-mode rejection (IMR) errors
introduced by the external circuit, connect grounds as indicated, being sure to minimize ground resistance. Any capacitance across the barrier will increase AC leakage current
and may degrade high frequency IMR. The schematic in
Figure 3 shows the proper technique for wiring analog and
digital commons together.

AN ERROR ANALYSIS OF THE IS01021N A
SMALL SIGNAL MEASURING APPLICATION
High accuracy measurements of low-level signals in the
presence of high isolation mode voltages can be difficult due
to the errors of the isolation amplifiers themselves.
This error analysis shows that when a low drift operational
amplifier is used to preampJify the low-level source signal,
a low cost, simple and accurate solution is possible.
In the circuit shown in Figure 16, a 50mV shunt is used to
measure the current in a 500VDC motor. The OPA27
amplifies the 50mV by 200 X to 10V full scale. The output
of the OPA27 is fed to the input of the ISOI02, which is a
unity-gain isolation amplifier. The 5kQ and lill potentiometers connected to the IS0102 are used to adjust the gain and
offset errors to zero as described in Discussion of Specifications.

Some Observations
The total errors of the op amp and the ISO amp combined are
approximately 0.11% of full-scale range (see Figure 17). If
the op amp had not been used to preamplify the signal, the
errors would have been 2.6% of FSR. Clearly, the small cost
of adding the op amp buys a large performance improvement. Optimum performance, therefore, is obtained when
the full ±10V range of the ISOI02II06 is utilized.
The rms noise of the IS0102 with a 120Hz bandwidth is only
0.18mVrms, which is only 0.0018% of the 10V full scale
output. Therefore, even though the 161lV"'Hz noise spectral
density specification may appear large compared to other
isolation amplifiers, it does not turn out to be a significant
error term. It is worth noting that even if the bandwidth is
increased to 10kHz, the noise of the iso amp would only
contribute 0.016%FSR error.

Extra power is available on the isolated input side for
external input conditioning circuitry. The converter is
protected from shorts to ground with an internal current limit, and the soft-start feature limits the initial
currents from the power source. Multiple-channel synchronization can be accomplished by applying a TTL
clock signal to paralleled Sync pins. The Enable con-

trol is used to turn off transformer drive while keeping
the signal channel demodulator active. This feature
provides a convenient way to reduce quiescent current
for low power applications.
The wide barrier pin spacing and internal insulation
allow for the generous 1500Vrms continuous rating.
Reliability is assured by 100% barrier breakdown
testing that conforms to UL1244 test methods. Low
barrier capacitance minimizes AC leakage currents.
These specifications and built-in features make the
ISO 103 easy to use, as well as providing for compact
PC board layouts.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The block diagram on the front page shows the isolation
amplifier's synchronized signal and power configuration,
which eliminates beat frequency interference. A proprietary
800kHz oscillator chip, power MOSFET transfonner drivers, patented square core wirebonded transfonner, and single
chip diode bridge provide power to the input side of the
isolation amplifier as well as external loads. The signal
channel capacitively couples a duty-cycle encoded signal
across the ceramic high-voltage barrier built into the package. A proprietary transmitter-receiver pair of integrated
circuits, laser trimmed at wafer level, and coupled through a
pair of matched "fringe" capacitors, result in a simple,
reliable design.

OPTIONAL GAIN AND OFFSET ADJUSTMENTS
Rated gain accuracy and offset perfonnance can be achieved
with no external adjustments, but the circuit of Figure 2a
may be used to provide a gain trim of ±0.5% for the values
shown; greater range may be provided by increasing the size
of Rl and RI. Every 2ldl increase in Rl will give an
additional I % adjustment range, with R2 ;::: RI. If safety or
conveuience dictates location of the adjustment potentiometer on the other side of the barrier from the position shown
in Figure 2a, the position of RI and R2 may be reserved.
Gains greater than I may be obtained by using the circuit of
Figure 2b. Note that the effect of input offset errors will be
multiplied at the output in proportion to the increase in gain.
Also, the small-signal bandwidth will be decreased in in-

SIGNAL AND POWER CONNECTIONS
Figure I shows the proper power supply and signal connections. All power supply pins should be bypassed as shown
with the 1t filter for +VCC2 an option recommended if more
than ±15mA are drawn from the isolated supply. The separate input and output common pins and output sense are low
current inputs tied to the signal source ground, output
ground, and output load, respectively, to minimize errors
due to IR drop in long conductors. Otherwise, connect Com
I to Gnd I, Com 2 to Gnd 2, and Sense to Vour at the ISOI07
socket. The enable pin may be left open if the ISOlO7 is
continuously operated. If not, a TTL low level will disable
the internal DCIDC converter. The Sync input must be
grounded for unsynchrouized operation while a 1.2MHz to
2MHz TTL clock signal provides synchronization of multiple units.

precision gain block at the input of the isolation amplifier
will provide better overall performance.
Figure 3 shows a method for trimming Vos of the ISO 107.
This circuit may be applied to either Signal Com (input or
output) as desired for safety or convenience. With the values
shown, ±l5V supplies and unity gain, the circuit will provide ±150mV adjustment range and 0.25mV resolution with
a typical trim potentiometer. The output will have some
sensitivity to power supply variations. For a ±100mV trim,
power supply sensitivity is 8mVN at the output.

The IS0107 was designed to reliably operate with 2500Vrms
continuous isolation barrier voltage. To confirm barrier
integrity, a two-step breakdown test is performed on 100%
of the units. First, an 8000V peak, 60Hz barrier potential is
applied for lOs to verify that the dielectric strength of the
insulation is above this level. Following this exposure, a
2500Vrms, 60Hz potential is applied for one minute to
conform to UL544. Life-test results show reliable operation
under continuous rated voltage and maximum operating
temperature conditions.

ISOLATION BARRIER VOLTAGE

The typical performance of the ISO I 07 under conditions of
barrier voltage stress is indicated in the first two performance curves-Recommended Range of Isolation Voltage
and IMR/Leakage vs Frequency. At low barrier modulation
levels, errors can be determined by the IMRR characteristic.
At higher barrier voltages, typical performance is obtained
as long as the dv/dt across the barrier is below the shaded
area in the first curve. Otherwise, the signal channel will be
interrupted, causing the output to distort, and/or shift DC
level. This condition is temporary, with normal operation
resuming as soon as the transient subsides. Permanent damage to the integrated circuits occurs only if transients exceed
20kV/flS. Even in this extreme case, the barrier integrity is
assured.

FIGURE 4. Ripple Reduction.
MULTICHANNEL SYNCHRONIZATION
Synchronization of multiple IS0107s can be accomplished
by connecting pin 19 of each device to an external TTL level
oscillator, as shown in Figure 6. The PWS750-1 oscillator is
convenient because its nominal synchronizing output frequency is 1.6MHz, resulting in a 800kHz carrier in the
IS0107 (its nominal unsynchronized value). The open collector output typically switches 7.5mA to a 0.2V low level
so that the external pull-up resistor can be chosen for
different pull-up voltages as shown in Figure 6. The number
of channels synchronized by one PWS750-1 is determined
by the total capacitance of the sync voltage conductors. They
must be less than 1000pF to ensure TTL level switching at
800kHz. At higher frequencies the capacitance must be
proportionally lower.

Customers can supply their own TTL level synchronization
logic, provided the frequency is between 1.2MHz and 2MHz,
and the duty cycle is greater than 25%.

Low-Cost, High-Voltage, Internally Powered
OUTPUT ISOLATION AMPLIFIER
FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

• SELF-CONTAINED ISOLATED SIGNAL
AND OUTPUT POWER

The 1S0113 output isolation amplifier provides both
signal and output power across an isolation barrier in
a small double-wide DIP package. The ceramic nonhermetic hybrid package with side-brazed pins contains a transformer-coupled DC/DC converter and a
capacitor-coupled signal channel.

• SMALL PACKAGE SIZE: Double-Wide
(0.6") Sidebraze DIP
• CONTINUOUS AC BARRIER RATING:
1500Vrms

Extra power is available on the isolated output side for
driving external loads. The converter is protected from
shorts to ground with an internal current limit, and the
soft-start feature limits the initial currents from the
power source. Multiple-channel synchronization can
be accomplished by applying a TIL clock signal to
paralleled Sync pins. The Enable control is used to
turn off transformer drive while keeping the signal
channel modulator active. This feature provides a
convenient way to reduce qniescent current for low
power applications.

• WIDE BANDWIDTH: 20kHz Small Signal,
20kHz Full Power
• BUILT-IN ISOLATED OUTPUT POWER:
±10V to ±18V Input, ±50mA Output
• MULTICHANNEL SYNCHRONIZATION
CAPABILITY
• BOARD AREA ONLY 0.72In.2 (4.6cm2)

APPLICATIONS

The wide barrier pin spacing and internal insulation
allow for the generous 1500Vrms continuous rating.
Reliability is assured by 100% barrier breakdown
testing that conforms to UL1244 test methods. Low
barrier capacitance minimizes AC leakage currents.

• 4mA TO 20mA VII CONVERTERS
• MOTOR AND VALVE CONTROLLERS
• ISOLATED RECORDER OUTPUTS
• MEDICAL INSTRUMENTATION OUTPUTS

These specifications and bnilt-in features make the
1S0113 easy to use, and provides for compact PC
board layout.

DESCRIPTION
The IS0120 and IS0121 are precision isolation amplifiers incorporating a novel duty cycle modulationdemodulation technique. The signal is 'transmitted
digitally across a 2pF differential capacitive barrier.
With digital modulation the barrier characteristics do
not affect signal integrity, which results in excellent
reliability and good high frequency transient immunity across the barrier. Both the amplifier and barrier
capacitors are housed in a hermetic DIP. The IS0120
and ISO 121 differ only in package size and isolation
voltage rating.
These amplifiers are easy to use. No external components are required for 60kHz bandwidth. With the
addition of two external capacitors, precision specifications of 0.01 % max nonlinearity and 15011V/oC max
Vos drift are guaranteed with 6kHz bandwidth. A
power supply range of ±4.5V to ±18V and low qniescent current make these amplifiers ideal for a wide
range of applications.

CARRIER FREQUENCY CONSIDERATIONS

As previously discussed, the IS0120 and IS0121 amplifiers
transmit the signal across the iso-barrier by a duty-cycle
modulation technique. This system works like any linear
amplifier for input signals having frequencies below one
half the carrier frequency, fc' For signal frequencies above
fr!2, the behavior becomes more complex. The Signal Response vs Carrier Frequency performance curve describes
this behavior graphically. The upper curve illustrates the
response for input signals varying from DC to fr!2. At input
frequencies at or above fr!2, the device generates an output
signal component that varies in both amplitude and frequency, as shown by the lower curve. The lower horizontal
scale shows the periodic variation in the frequency of the
output component. Note that at the carrier frequency and its
harmonics, both the frequency and amplitude of the response go the zero. These characteristics can be exploited in
certain applications. It should be noted that when C, is zero,
the carrier frequency is nominally 500kHz and the -3dB
point of the amplifier is 60kHz. Spurious signals at the

FIGURE 6. Synchronization with Isolated Drive Circuit for

ISOLATION MODE VOLTAGE
Isolation mode voltage (IMY) is the voltage appearing between isolated grounds Gnd 1 and Gnd 2. IMV can induce
error at tb.e output as indicated by the plots of IMY vs
Frequency. It should be noted that if the IMV frequency
exceeds fr!2, the output will display spurious outputs in a
manner similar to that described above, and the amplifier
response will be identical to. that shown in the Signal Response vs Carrier Frequency performance curve. This occurs
BURR-BROWN(l!i

because IMV-induced errors behave like input-referred error
signals. To predict the total IMR, divide the isolation voltage
by the IMR shown in IMR vs Frequency performance curve
and compute the amplifier response to this input-referred
error signal from the data given in the Signal Response vs
Carrier Frequency performance curve. Due to effects of very
high-frequency signals, typical IMV performance can be
achieved only when dVIdT of the isolation mode voltage
falls below lO00VIllS. For convenience, this is plotted in the
typical performance curves for the ISO 120 and ISO 121 as a
function of voltage and frequency for sinusoidal voltages.
When dV/dT exceeds l000V/IIS but falls below 20kV/IIS,
performance may be degraded. At rates of change above
20kV/IIS, the amplifier may be damaged, but the barrier
retains its full integrity. Lowering the power supply voltages
below ±15V may decrease the dV/dT to 500V/IlS for typical
performance, but the maximum dVldT of 20kV/IIS remains
unchanged.
Leakage current is determined solely by the impedance of
the 2pF barrier capacitance and is plotted in the Isolation
Leakage Current vs Frequency curve.
ISOLATION VOLTAGE RATINGS
Because a long-term test is impractical in a manufacturing
situation, the generally accepted practice is to perform a
production test at a higher voltage for some shorter time. The
relationship between actual test voltage and the continuous
derated maximum specification is an important one. Historically, Burr-Brown has chosen a deliberately conservative
one: V TEST = (2 X ACrms continuous rating) + l000V for 10
seconds, followed by a test at rated ACrms voltage for one
minute. This choice was appropriate for conditions where
system transients are not well defined.
Recent improvements in high-voltage stress testing have
produced a more meaningful test for determining maximum
permissible voltage ratings, and Burr-Brown has chosen to
apply this new technology in the manufacture and testing of
the lSU120 and 150121.
Partial Discharge
When an insulation defect such as a void occurs within an
insulation system, the defect will display localized corona or
ionization during exposure to high-voltage stress. This ionization requires a higher applied voltage to start the discharge and lower voltage to maintain it or extinguish it once
started. The higher start voltage is known as the inception
voltage, while the extinction voltage is that level of voltage
stress at which the discharge ceases. Just as the total insulation system has an inception voltage, so do the individual
voids. A voltage will build up across a void until its inception voltage is reached, at which point ,the void will ionize,

effectively shorting itself out. This action redistributes electrical charge within the dielectric and is known as partial
discharge. If, as is the case with AC, the applied voltage
gradient across the device continues to rise, another partial
discharge cycle begins. The importance of this phenomenon
is that, if the discharge does not occur, the insulation system
retains its integrity. If the discharge begins, and is allowed
to continue, the action of the ions and electrons within the
defect will eventually degrade any organic insulation system
in which they occur. The measurement of partial discharge
is still useful in rating the devices and providing quality
control of the manufacturing process. Since the IS0120 and
ISO 121 do not use organic insulation, partial discharge is
non-destructive.
The inception voltage for these voids tends to be constant, so ,....
that the measurement of total charge being redistributed N
within the dielectric is a very good indicator of the size of :!:::
the voids and their likelihood of becoming an incipient 0
failure. The bulk inception voltage, on the other hand, varies N
with the insulation system, and the number of ionization
defects and directly establishes the absolute maximum volt- 0_
age (transient) that can be applied across the test device
before destructive partial discharge can begin. Measurin.
the bulk extinction voltage provides a lower, more conserva
tive voltage from which to derive a safe continuous rating.
In production, measuring at a level somewhat below the
expected inception voltage and then derating by a factor 0
related to expectations about system transients is an ....
accepted practice.

Partial Discharge Testing
Not only does this test method provide far more qualitative
information about stress-withstand levels than did previous
stress tests, but it provides quantitative measurements from
which quality assurance and control measures can be based.
Tests similar to this test have been used by some manufacturers, such as those of high-voltage power distribution
equipment, for some time, but they employed a simple
measurement of Rl' noise to detect ionization. Tnis memutl
was not quantitative with regard to energy of the discharge,
and was not sensitive enough for small components such as
isolation amplifiers. Now, however, manufacturers of HV
test equipment have developed means to quantify partial
discharge. VDE, the national standards group in Germany
and an acknowledged leader in high-voltage test standards,
has developed a standard test method to apply this powerful
technique. Use of partial discharge testing is an improved
method for measuring the integrity of an isolation barrier.

DESCRIPTION
The IS0122 is a precision isolation amplifier incorporating a novel duty cycle modulation-demodulation
technique. The signal is transmitted digitally across
a 2pF differential capacitive barrier. With digital modulation the barrier characteristics do not affect signal
integrity, resulting in excellent reliability and good high
frequency transient immunity across the barrier. Both
barrier capacitors are imbedded in the plastic body of
the package.

>----0

The IS0122 is easy to use. No external components
are required for operation. The key specifications are
0.020% max nonlinearity, 50kHz signal bandwidth,
and 2001!V/oC Vos drift. A power supply range of
±4.5V to ±18V and quiescent currents of ±5.0mA on
VSI and ±5.5mA on VS2 make these amplifiers ideal
for a wide range of applications.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ISOl22 isolation amplifier uses an input and an output
section galvanically isolated by matched I pF isolating capacitors built into the plastic package. The input is dutycycle modulated and transmitted digitally across the barrier.
The output section receives the modulated signal, converts it
back to an analog voltage and removes the ripple component
inherent in the demodulation. Input and output sections are
fabricated, then laser trimmed for exceptional circuitry matching common to both input and output sections. The sections
are then mounted on opposite ends of the package with the
isolating capacitors mounted between the two sections. The
transistor count of the ISOl22 is 250 transistors.
MODULATOR
An input amplifier (AI, Figure I) integrates the difference
between the input current (VI j2ooJeQ) and a switched
±1001JA current source. This current source is implemented
by a switchable 2001JA source and a fixed 1001JA current
sink. To understand the basic operation of the modulator,
assume that V IN = O.OV. The integrator will ramp in one
direction until the comparator threshold is exceeded. The
comparator and sense amp will force the current source to
switch; the resultant signal is a triangular waveform with a
50% duty cycle. The internal oscillator forces the current
source to switch at 500kHz. The resultant capacitor drive is
a complementary duty-cycle modulation square wave.
DEMODULATOR
The sense amplifier detects the signal transitions across the
capacitive barrier and drives a switched current source into
integrator A2. The output stage balances the duty-cycle
modulated current against the feedback current through the
200JeQ feedback resistor, resulting in an average value at the

vOUT pin equal to VIN. The sample and hold amplifiers in the
output feedback loop serve to remove undesired ripple
voltages inherent in the demodulation process.

BASIC OPERATION
SIGNAL AND SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
Each power supply pin should be bypassed with I~ tantalum capacitors located as close to the amplifier as possible.
The internal frequency of the modulator/demodulator is set
at 500kHz by an internal oscillator. Therefore, if it is desired
to minimize any feedthrough noise (beat frequencies) from
a DCIDC converter, use a 1t filter on the supplies (see Figure
4). ISO 122 output has a 500kHz ripple of 20mV, which can
be removed with a simple two pole low-pass filter with a
100kHz cutoff using a low cost op amp. See Figure 4.
The input to the modulator is a current (set by the 200kQ
integrator input resistor) that makes it possible to have an
input voltage greater than the input supplies, as long as the
output supply is at least ±15V. It is therefore possible when
using an unregulated DCIDC converter to minimize
related output errors with ±5V voltage regulators on th
isolated side and still get the full ±IOV input and output
swing. An example of this application is shown in Figure
10.

CARRIER FREQUENCY CONSIDERATIONS
The ISOl22 amplifier transmits the signal across the isolation barrier by a 500kHz duty cycle modulation technique.
For input signals having frequencies below 250kHz, this
system works like any linear amplifier. But for frequencies
above 250kHz, the behavior is similar to that of a sampling
amplifier. The signal response to inputs greater than 250kHz

perfonnance curve shows this behavior graphically; at input
frequencies above 250kHz the device generates an output
signal component of reduced magnitude at a frequency
below 250kHz. This is the aliasing effect of sampling at
frequencies less than 2 times the signal frequency (the
N yquist frequency). Note that at the carrier frequency and its
hannonics, both the frequency and amplitude of the aliasing
go to zero.
ISOLATION MODE VOLTAGE INDUCED ERRORS
IMV can induce errors at the output as indicated by the plots
of IMV vs Frequency. It should be noted that if the IMV
frequency exceeds 250kHz, the output also will display
spurious outputs (aliasing), in a manner similar to that for
VIN > 250kHz and the amplifier response will be identical to
that shown in the Signal Response to Inputs Greater Than
250kHz perfonnance curve. This occurs because IMVinduced errors behave like input-referred error signals. To
predict the total error, divide the isolation voltage by the
IMR shown in the IMR vs Frequency curve and compute the
amplifier response to this input-referred error signal from
the data given in the Signal Response to Inputs Greater than
250kHz perfonnance curve. For example, if a 800kHz
1000Vnns IMR is present, then a total of [(-6OdB) +
(-30dB)] x (lOOOV) = 32mV error signal at 200kHz plus a
1V, 800kHz error signal will be present at the output.
HIGH IMV dV/dt ERRORS
As the IMV frequency increases and the dV/dt exceeds
1000VIllS, the sense amp may start to false trigger, and the
output will display spurious errors. The common mode
current being sent across the barrier by the high slew rate is
the cause of the false triggering of the sense amplifier.
Lowering the power supply voltages below ±15V may
decrease the dV/dt to 500V/IlS for typical perfonnance.

HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING
Burr-Brown Corporation has adopted a partial discharge test
criterion that confonns to the German VDE0884 OptocoupIer Standards. This method requires the measurement of
minute current pulses «5pC) while applying 2400Vnns,
60Hz high voltage stress across every IS0122 isolation
barrier. No partial discharge may be initiated to pass this
test. This criterion confinns transient overvoltage (1.6 x
1500Vnns) protection without damage to the IS0122. Lifetest
results verify the absence of failure tinder continuous rated
voltage and maximum temperature.
This new test method represents the "state of the art" for
non-destructive high voltage reliability testing. It is based on
the effects of non-unifonn fields that exist in heterogeneous
dielectric material during barrier degradation. In the case of
void non-nniformities, electric field stress begins to ionize
the void region before bridging the entire high voltage
barrier. The transient conduction of charge during and after
the ionization can be detected externally as a burst of 0.010.11lS current pulses that repeat on each AC voltage cycle.
The minimum AC barrier voltage that initiates partial discharge is defined as the "inception voltage." Decreasing the
barrier voltage to a lower level is required before partial
discharge ceases and is defined as the "extinction voltage."
We have characterized and developed the package insulation
processes to yield an inception voltage in excess of 2400Vnns
so that transient overvoltages below this level will not
damage the ISOI22. The extinction voltage is above
1500Vrrns so that even overvoltage induced partial discharge will cease once the barrier voltage is reduced to the
1500Vnns (rated) level. Older high voltage test methods
relied on applying a large enough overvoltage (above rating)
to break down marginal parts, but not so high as to damage
good ones. Our new partial discharge testing gives uS more
confidence in barrier reliability than breakdown/no breakdown criteria.

The ISO 130 is a high isolation-mode rejection, isolation amplifier suited for motor control applications. Its
versatile design provides the precision and stability
needed to accurately monitor motor currents in highnoise motor control environments. The IS0130 can
also be used for general analog signal isolation applications requiring stability and linearity under severe
noise conditions.
The signal is transmitted digitally across the isolation
barrier optically, using a high-speed AlGaAs LED.
The remainder of the ISO 130 is fabricated on lllID
CMOS IC process. A sigma-delta analog-to-digital
converter, chopper stabilized amplifiers and differential input and output topologies make the isolation
amplifier suitable for a variety of applications.

GND, 04 _--,---,

IMRSHIELD

The IS0130 is easy to use. No external components
are required for operation. The key specifications are
JOkV/!IS isolation-mode rejection, 85kHz large signal
bandwidth, and 4.6!lV/oC Vos drift. A single power
supply ranging from +4.5V to +5.5V makes this amplifier ideal for low power isolation applications.
The IS0130 is available in 8-pin plastic DIP and 8-pin
plastic gull-wing surface mount packages.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
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.

THEORY OF OPERATION

(in accordance with UL1577). To confirm the barrier integrity, each isolation amplifier is proof-tested by applying an
isolation test voltage greater than or equal to 4500Vrms for
one second. The barrier leakage current test limit is 51JA.
This test is followed by the partial discharge isolation
voltage test as specified in the German VDE0884. This
method requires the measurement of small current pulses
«5pico Colomb) while applying 960Vrms across every
ISO 130 isolation barrier. No partial discharge may be initiated to pass this test. This criterion confirms transient
overvoltage (1.6 X 600Vrms) protection without damage to
the IS0130.
This test method represents "state of the art" for nondestructive high voltage reliability testing. It is based on the
effects of non-uniform fields that exist in heterogeneous
dielectric material during barrier degradation. In the case of
void non-uniformities, electric field stress begins to ionize
the void region before bridging the entire high voltage
barrier. The transient conduction of charge during and after
the ionization can be detected externally as a burst of 0.01 to
0.1J.lS current pulses that repeat on each AC voltage cycle.
The minimum AC barrier voltage that initiates partial discharge is defined as the "inception voltage". Decreasing
barrier voltage to a lower level is required before parti
discharge ceases and is defined as the "extinction voltage".

The IS0130 isolation amplifier (Figure I) uses an input and
output section galvanically isolated by a high speed optical
barrier built into the plastic package. The input signal is
converted to a time averaged serial bit stream by use of a
sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter and then optically
transmitted digitally across the isolation barrier. The output
section receives the digital signal and converts it to an
analog voltage, which is then filtered to produce the final
output signal.
Internal amplifiers are chopper-stabilized to help maintain
device accuracy over time and temperature. The encoder
circuit eliminates the effects of pulse-width distortion of the
optically transmitted data by generating one pulse for every
edge of the converter data to be transmitted. This coding
scheme reduces the effects of the non-ideal characteristics of
the LED, such as non-linearity and drift over time and
temperature.

Both tests are 100% production tests. The partial discharge
testing of the 180130 is performed after the UL1577 test
criterion giving more confidence in the barrier reliability.

the output signal of the 180130. A Transient Immunity failure
is determined when the output of the 180130 changes by
more than 50mV as illustrated in Fignre 3.

The third guaranteed isolation specification for the 180130 is
Transient Immunity (TI), which specifies the minimum rate
of rise or fall of an isolation mode noise signal at which small
output perturbations begin to occur. An isolation mode signal
is defined as a signal appearing between the isolated grounds,
GND, and GND2• Isolation Mode Voltage (IMV) is the
voltage appearing between isolated grounds. Under certain
circumstances this voltage across the isolation barrier can
induce errors at the output of the isolation amplifier. Fignre 2
shows the Transient Immunity Test Circuit for the 180130. In
this test circuit a pulse generator is placed between the
isolated grounds (GND, and GND,). The inputs of the 180130
are both tied to GNDI" A difference amplifier is used to gain

Finally, Isolation Mode Rejection Ratio (typically >140dB
for the 180130) is defined as the ratio of differential signal
gain to the isolation mode gain at 60 Hz. The magnitude of
the 60Hz voltage across the isolation barrier during this test
is not so large as to cause Transient Innnunity errors. The
Isolation Mode Rejection Ratio should not be confused with
the Common Mode Rejection Ratio. The Common Mode
Rejection Ratio defines the relationship of differential signal
gain (signal applied differentially between pins 2 and 3) to
the common mode gain (input pins tied together and the
signal applied to both inputs at the same time).

Figure 4 illustrates a typical application for the 180130. In
this motor control circuit, the current that is sent to the motor
is sensed by the resistor, RsENSB ' The voltage drop across this
resistor is gained up by the 180130 and then transmitted
across the isolation barrier. A difference amplifier, A" is
used to change the differential output signal of the 180130
to a single ended signal. This voltage information is then
sent to the control circuitry of the motor. The 180130 is
particularly well suited for this application because of its
superior Transient Immunity (JOkV/lIS, max) and its excellent immunity to RF noise.

The current-sensing resistor should have a relatively low
value of resistance (to minimize power dissipation), a fairly
low inductance (to accurately reflect high-frequency signal
components), and a reasonably tight tolerance (to maintain
overall circuit accuracy).

LAYOUT SUGGESTIONS
1. By-pass capacitors should be located as close as possible
to the input and output power supply pins.
2. In some applications, offset voltage can be reduced by
placing a O.OlllF capacitor from pin 2 and/or pin 3 to
GND .. This noise can be caused by the combination of
long input leads and the switched-capacitor nature of the
input circuit. This capacitor(s) should be placed as close
to the isolation amplifier as possible.
3. The trace lengths at input should be kept short or a twisted
wire pair should be used to minimize EMI and inductance
effects. For optimum performance, the input signal should
be as close to the input pins a possible.
4. A maximum distance between the input and output sides
of the isolation amplifier should be maintained in the
layout in order to minimize stray capacitance. This practice will help obtain optimal Isolation Mode performance.
Ground planes should not pass below the device on the
PCB.

5. Care should be taken in selecting isolated power supplies
or regulators. The IS0130 can be affected by changes in
the power supply voltages. Carefully regulated power
supplies are recommended.

6. For improved non-linearity and non-linearity temperature

DESCRIPTION
The IS0150 is a two-channel, galvanically isolated
data coupler capable of data rates of 80MBaud, typical. Each channel can be individually programmed to
transmit data in either direction.
Data is transmitted across the isolation barrier by
coupling complementary pulses through high voltage
O.4pF capacitors. Receiver circuitry restores the pulses
to standard logic levels. Differential signal transmission rejects isolation-mode voltage transients up to
1.6kV//JS.

ISOl50 avoids the problems commonly associated
with optocouplers. Optically isolated couplers require
high current pulses and allowance must be made for
LED aging. The IS0150's Bi-CMOS circuitry operates at 25mW per channel.
IS0150 is available in a 24-pin DIP package and in a
28-lead SOIC. Both are specified for operation from
-40'C to 85'C.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
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.

ISOLATION BARRIER
Data is transmitted by coupling complementary logic pulses
to the receiver through two 0.4pF capacitors. These capacitors are built into the ISOl50 package with Faraday shielding to guard against false triggering by external electrostatic
fields.
The integrity of the isolation barrier of the ISOl50 is
verified by partial discharge testing. 2400Vrms, 60Hz, is
applied across the barrier for one second while measuring
any tiny discharge currents that may flow through the
barrier. These current pulses are produced by localized
ionization within the barrier. This is the most sensitive and
reliable indicator of barrier integrity and longevity, and does
not damage the barrier. A device fails the test if five or more
current pulses of 5pC or greater are detected.

o

Conventional isolation barrier testing applies test voltage far ~
in excess of the rated voltage to catastrophically break d o w n .
a marginal device. A device that passes the test may be
weakened, and lead to premature failure.

LOGIC LEVELS

PROPAGATION DELAY AND SKEW

A single pin serves as a data input or output, depending on
the mode selected. Logic inputs are CMOS with thresholds
set for TIT. compatibility. The logic threshold is approximately I.3V with SV supplies and with approximately 400mV
of hysteresis. Input logic thresholds vary with the power
supply voltage. Drive the logic inputs with signals that swing
the full logic voltage swing. The ISOlS0 will use somewhat
greater quiescent current if logic inputs do not swing within
O.SV of the power supply rails.

Logic transitions are delayed approximately 27ns through
the ISOI50. Some applications are sensitive to data skewthe difference in propagation delay between channel 1 and
channel 2. Skew is less than 2ns between channel 1 and
channel 2. Applications using more than one ISOlS0 must
allow for somewhat greater skew from device to device.
Since all devices are tested for delay times of 20ns min to
40ns max, 20ns is the largest device-to-device data skew.

In receive mode, the data output can drive 15 standard
LS-TIT. loads. It will also drive CMOS loads. The output
drive circuits are CMOS.

POWER SUPPLY
Separate, isolated power supplies must be connected to side
A and side B to provide galvanic isolation. Nominal rated
supply voltage is SV. Operation extends from 3V to S.5V.
Power supplies should be bypassed close to the device pins
on both sides of the isolation barrier.
The Vs pin for each side powers the transceivers for both
channel 1 and 2. The specified supply current is the total of
both transceivers on one side, both operating in the indicated
mode. Supply current for one transceiver in transmit mode
and one in receive mode can be estimated by averaging the
specifications for transtuit and receive operation. Supply
current varies with· the data transtuission rate-see typical
curves.

POWER-UP STATE
The IS0150 transtuits information across the barrier only
when the input-side data changes logic state. When a transceiver is first programmed for receive mode, or is' poweredup in receive mode, its output is iuitialized "high". Subsequent changes of data applied to the input side will cause the
output to properly reflect the input side data.

SIGNAL LOSS

MODE CHANGES
The transtuission direction of a channel can be changed "on
the fly" by reversing the logic levels at the channel's R!f
pins on both side A and side B. Approximately 75ns after the
transceiver is programmed to receive mode its output is
iuitialized "high", and will respond to subsequent input-side
changes in data.

STANDBY MODE
Quiescent current of each transceiver circuit is very low in
transtuit mode when input data is not changing (InA typical). To conserve power when data transtuission is not
required, program both side A and B transceivers for transtuit mode. Input data applied to either transceiver is ignored
by the other side. High speed data applied to either transceiver will increase quiescent current.

CIRCUIT LAYOUT
The high speed of the IS0150 and its isolation barrier
require careful circuit layout. Use good high speed logic
layout techniques for the input and output data lines. Power
supplies should be bypassed close to the device pins on both
sides of the isolation barrier. Use low inductance connections. Ground planes are recommended.
Maintain spacing between side 1 and side 2 circuitry equal
or greater than the spacing between the tuissing pins of the
ISOlS0 (approximately 16mm for the DIP version). Sockets
are not recommended.

The ISO 150' s differential-mode signal transtuission and
careful receiver design make it highly immune to voltage
across the isolation barrier (isolation-mode voltage). Rapidly
changing isolation-mode voltage can cause data errors. As
the rate of change of isolation voltage is increased, there is
a very sudden increase in data errors. Approximately 50% of
IS0150s will begin to produce data errors with isolationmode transients of 1.6kV/J.IS. This may occur as low as
500V/J.IS in some devices. In comparison, a lOOOVrms, 60Hz
isolation-mode voltage has a rate of change of approximately
O.SV/J.IS.
Still, some applications with large, noisy isolation-mode
voltage can produce data errors by causing the receiver
output to change states. After a data error, subsequent changes
in input data will produce correct output data.

POWER SUPPLY AND SIGNAL CONNECTIONS

To avoid gain and isolation mode (IMR) errors introduced
by the external circuit, connect grounds as indicated in
Figure 3. Layout practices associated with isolation amplifiers are very important. In particular, the capacitance associated with the barrier, and series resistance in the signal and
reference leads, must be minimized. Any capacitance across

Since gain inversion can be incorporated in either the input C"II
or output stage of the IS0212P, it is possible to use the input TC"II
amplifier in a non-inverting configuration and preserve the
high impedance this configuration offers. Signal inversion at
the output is easily accomplished by connecting OfP High to ~
Com 2 instead of OfP Low.

network, especially when all IS0212Ps are synchronized. It
is best to use a well decoupled distribution point and to take
power to individual IS02l2Ps from this point in a star
arrangement as shown in Figure 4.

external driver connected to Clk In. See Figure 5. The driver
may be an external component with Series 4000 CMOS
characteristics, or one of the IS02l2Ps in the system can be
used as the master clock for the system. See Fignre 6 and 7
for connections in multiple IS02l2P installations.

NOISE

Output noise is generated by residual components of the
25kHz carrier that have not been removed from the signal.
This noise may be reduced by adding an output low pass
filter (see Figure 8). The filter time constants should be set
below the carrier frequency. The output from the IS0212P
is a switched capacitor and requires a high impedance load
to prevent degradation of linearity. Loads ofless than lM!l
will cause an increase in noise at the carrier frequency and
will appear as ripple in the output waveform. Since the
output signal power is generated from the input side of the
barrier, decoupling of the ±VSS I outputs will improve the
signal to noise ratio.
SYNCHRONIZATION
OF THE INTERNAL OSCILLATOR

The IS02l2P has an internal oscillator and associated timing components, which can be synchronized, incorporated
into the design. This alleviates the requirement for an external high-power clock driver. The typical frequency of oscillation is 50kHz. The internal clock will start when power is
applied to the IS02l2P and Clk In is not connected.
Because the frequencies of several IS02l2Ps can be marginally different, "beat" frequencies ranging from a few Hz to
a few kHz can exist in multiple amplifier applications. The
design of the IS02l2P accommodates "internal synchronous" noise, but a synchronous beat frequency noise will not
be strongly attenuated, especially at very low frequencies if
it is introduced via the power, signal, or potential grounding
paths. To overcome this problem in systems where several
IS02l2Ps are used, the design allows synchroniztion of
each oscillator in a system to one frequency. Do this by
forcing the timing node on the internal oscillator with an

Power In

CHARGE ISOLATION

When more than one IS02l2P is used in synchronous mode,
the charge which is returned from the timing capacitor
(22OpF in Fignre 5) on each transition of the clock becomes
significant. Figure 7 illustrates a method of isolating· the
''Clk Out" clamp diodes (Figure 5) from this charge.
A 22k!l resistor (recommended maximum to use) together
with the 39k!l internal oscillator timing resistor (Figure 5)
forms a potential divider. The ratio of these resistors should
be greater than 0.6 which ensures that the input voltage
triggers the inverter connected to "Clk In". If using a single
resistor, then account must be taken of the paralleled timing
resistors. This means that the 22k!l resistor must be halved
to drive two IS02l2Ps, or divided by 8 if driving 8 IS02l2Ps
to insure that the ratio of greater than 0.6 is maintained. The
series resistors shown in Figure 7 reduce the high frequency
content of the power supply current.

APPLICATIONS
The IS0212P isolation amplifier, together with a few low
cost components, can isolate and accurately convert a 4-to20mA input to a ±lOV output with no external adjustment.
Its low height (0.43" (l1mm) ) and small footprint (2.5" X
0.33" (57mm X 8mm) ) make it the solution of choice in OS'
board spacing systems and in all applications where board
area savings are critical.
The IS0212P operates from a single + l5V supply and offers
low power consumption and l2-bit accuracy. On the input
side, two isolated power supplies capable of supplying SmA
at ±8V are available to power external circuitry.

and linearization, and dual matched excitation cnrrent
sonrces. This combination is ideally suited to a range
of transducers such as thennocouples, RIDs, thermistors and strain gages. The small size makes it ideal
for use in head mounted isolated temperatnre tnlllsmitters as well as rack and rail mounted equipment.
Pt100 NONLINEARITY CORRECTION
USING IXR100

The isolated two-wire transmitter allows signal transmission and device power to be supplied on a single
wire-pair by modulating the power supply cnrrent
with the isolated signal sonrce. The transmitter is
resistant to voltage drops from long runs and noise
from motors, relays, actuators, switches, transfonners
and industrial equipment.
It can be used by OEMs producing isolated transmitter
modules or by data acquisition system manufacturers.
The IXRl 00 is also useful for general purpose isolated
current transmission where the elimination of ground
loops is important.

DISCUSSION
OF PERFORMANCE

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The IXRlOO comprises of several functions:

The IXRIOO makes the design of isolated two wire 4 to
20mA transmitters easy and provides exceptional performance at very low cost. It combines several unique features
not previously available in a single package. These include
galvanic isolation, sensor excitation and linearization, excellent DC performance, and low zero and span drift. The
IXRlOO functions with voltages as low as 11.6V at the
device. This allows operation with power supplies at or
below 15V. When used with the RCV420 the complete4 to
20mA current loop reqnires only 13.1V. If series diode
protection is desired the minimum loop supply voltage is
still only about 13.7V. This is especially useful in systems
where the available supplies are only 15V.
BASIC CONNECTION

The basic connection of the IXRIOO is shown in Figure 1. A
differential voltage applied between pins 2 and 3 will cause
a current of 4 to 20mA to circulate in the two wire output
loop pins 28 and 18. Pins 1 and 4 supply the current
excitation for resistive sensors. Pins 6 and 7 are provided for
the connection of an· external span resistor which increases
the gain. Pins 8 and 9 provide linearity correction. Pins 10,
11 and 12 adjust the output offset current.

• Sensor excitation
• Internal voltage regulator
• Input amplifier and VII converter
• Linearization circnit
• DC/DC Converter
SENSOR EXCITATION
Sensor Excitation consists of two matched OAmA current
sources. One is used to excite the resistive sensor and the
other is used to excite the zero balance resistor Rz. When the
linearity correction feature is used these current sources are
modulated together so that three wire operation of a PtlOO
RID is possible.
INTERNAL VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The circnitry within the IXRlOO regulates the supply voltage
to the DC/DC Converter, Input Amplifier, Linearization
Amplifier and VII Converter and removes the normal variations in Vs from these stages as the output spans from 4 to
20mA.

INPUT AMPLIFIER AND VII CONVERTER

DC/DC CONVERTER

The Input Amplifier is an instrumentation amplifier whose
gain is set by Rs, it drives the VII Converter to produce a 4
to 20mA output current. The Input Amplifier has a common
mode voltage range of 2 to 4V with respect to COM (pin 5).
Normally this requirement is satisfied by returning the
currents from the RTD and zero balance resistor ~ to COM
through a common mode resistor RCM ' For most applications
a single value of 3.9ldl may be used. When used with RTDs
having large values of resistance ~ must be chosen so that
the inputs of the amplifier remain within iis rairo "(,,nmon
mode range. RCM should be bypassed with a O.Olj.IF or larger
capacitor.

The DClDC Converter transfers power from the 2 wire
current loop across the barrier to the circuitry used on the
input side of the isolation barrier.

The Linearity Correction Circuit is unique in several ways.
A single external resistor will provide up to 50 times
improvement in the basic RTD linearity. Terminal based
non-linearity can be reduced to less than ±O.1 % for all RTD
temperature spans. The Linearization circuit also contains an
instrnmentation amplifier internally connected to the ±VIN
pins. The gain of this stage is set by l\1N' The output controls
the excitation current sources to produce an increasing
excitation current as VIN increases. An important feature is
that the Linearity Correction is made directly to the RTD
output independent of the gain of the Input Amplifier. This
provides minimal interaction between Rs and Rz . This feature can be useful at the systems level by reducing data
acqnisition system processor overhead previously used to
linearize sensor response in software/firmware.

These pins provide a matched pair of current sources for

RL1 • RL2
The resistor connected between these tenninals detennines
the gain of the linearization circuit and the amount of
correction applied to the RTD. Its value may be detennined
in several ways. Two of which are shown as follows.
1. Empirically by interactively adjusting ~IN' Rs and Rz to
achieve best fit 4 to 20mA output. Rz is used to set 4mA
at minimum input, R. is adjusted for l2mA with a half
span input, and ~ is adjusted to give 20mA with a full
span input. This may require a few iterations but is
probably the most practical method for field calibration.
~IN will range between 500Q and 1500Q for 100Q
sensors (PtlOO, D100, SAMA). Initially it may seem a
little strange adjusting Rs for 12mA and ~ for 20mA.
However, convergence is achieved much more qnickly as
the linearized curve passes through zero and has less
effect at the mid span and the linearity trim resistor tends
to adjust the transfer function more at the full span than
the mid point.

not given in the table. This will yield very accurate results
for the Pt100 sensor and acceptable results for D100 and

The IXR100 has provision for adjusting the output offset
current as shown in Figure 2. In many applications the
already low offset will not need to be known at all. This trim
effects the VII converter stage and does not introduce Vos
drift errors that occur when the trim is performed at the input
stage. If possible use Rz to trim sensor output error to zero
and use the offset control to trim the output to 4mA when
VIN = OV. The offset adjustment can be made with a

the effects of non-uniform fIelds existing in heterogeneous
dielectric material during barrier degradation. In the case of
void non-uniformities, electric fIeld stress begins to ionize
the void region before bridging the entire high voltage
barrier.
The transient conduction of charge during and after the
ionization can be detected externally as a burst of O.01!lSO.l!lS current pulses that repeat on each AC voltage cycle.
The minimum AC barrier voltage that initiates partial discharge is defIned as the "inception voltage". Decreasing the
barrier voltage to a lower level is required before partial
discharge ceases and is defIned as the "extinction voltage".
We have designed and characterized the package to yield an
inception voltage in excess of 2400Vrms so that transient
overvoltages below this level will not cause any damage.
The extinction voltage is above l500Vrms so that even
overvoltage-induced partial discharge will cease once the
barrier voltage is reduced to the rated level. Older high
voltage test methods relied on applying a large enough ~
overvoltage (above rating) to catastrophically break down IX:
marginal parts, but not so high as to damage good ones. Our
new partial discharge testing gives us more confIdence in ~
barrier reliability than breakdown/no breakdown criteria. _ _

HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING
Burr-Brown Corporation has adopted a partial discharge test
criterion that conforms to the German VDE0884 Optocoupler
Standards. This method requires the measurement of minute
current pulses «5pC) while applying 240Onns, 60Hz highvoltage stress across every devices isolation barrier. No
partial discharge may be initiated to pass this test. This
criterion confIrms transient overvoltage (1.6 X VRATED) protection without damage. Life-test results verify the absence
of failure under continuous rated voltage and maximum
temperature.
This new test method represents the "state-of-the-art" for
nondestructive high voltage reliability testing. It is based on

APPLYING THE IXR100
The IXRlOO has been designed primarily to correct
nonlinearities inherent in RID sensors. It may also be used
in other applications where its excellent performance makes
it superior to other devices available. Examples are shown in

RFI AND TRANSIENT SUPPRESSION

INPUT BANDWIDTH LIMITING

Radio frequency interference and transients are a common
occurrence in 4-20mA loops, especially when long wirlDg
leJigths are involved. RFlusually appears as a temporary
change in output and resultS from rectification of the radio
signal by one or more stages in the amplifier. F.or sensors
which are closely coupled to the IXRl00 and are contained
in a common metal housing, the usual entry for RFI is via the
4-20mA loop wiring. Coaxial bypass capacitors may be used
with great effectiveness to bring these leads into the transducer housing while suppressing the RFl. Values of 100 to
l000pF are generally recommended. For sensors remote
from the IXRl00, coaxial capac;:itors can also be used to
filter the excitation and signal leads. Additional low-pass
filtering at the IXRl00 input helps suppress RFl. The easiest
way to do this is with the optional' differential RC filter
shown in Figure 4. Typical values for R, and R2 are 100lO00n, and for C, are l00-I000pF.

Filtering at the input to the 1XR100 is recommended where
possible and can be done as shown in Figure 4. C, connected
to pins 3 and 4 will reduce the bandwidth with a f__
frequency given by:'

Transient suppression for negative voltages can be provided
by the reverse-polarity protection diodes discussed later.
However, positive transients cannot be handled by these
diodes and do frequently occur in field-mounted loops. A
shunt zener diode is of some help, but most zener diodes
suffer from limited current-handling capacity and slow tumon. Both of these characteristics can lead to device failure
before the zener conducts. One type of zener, called the
TRANZORB and available from General Semiconductor
Industries, is especially effective in protecting against highenergy ,transients such as ,those induce9 by lightning or
motor contactors. Choose a TRANZORB with a voltage
rating close to, but exceeding, the maximum Vs which the
IXRl00 will see. In combination, the coaxial bypass capacitors and TRANZORB provide a very high level of protection against' transients and RFl.

t_ = O.159/(R, + R2 + RID + Rz> (C, + 3pF)
This method has the disadvantage of having t3dB vary with
R" R" RTD, and ~ may require large values of R" and R,.
R, and R, should be matched to prevent zero errors due to
input bias current.

SIGNAL SUPPRESSION AND ELEVATION
In some applications it is desired to have suppressed zero
range (span elevation) or elevated zero range (span suppression). This is easily accomplished with the IXRl00 by using
the current sources to create the suppression/elevation voltage. The basic concept is shown in Figure 5. In this example
the sensor voltage is derived from RT (a thermistor, RID or
other variable resistance element) excited by one of the
OAmA current sources. The other current source is used to
create the elevated zero range voltage. Figures 6a, 6b, 6c and
6d show some of the possible circuit variations. These
circuits have the desirable feature of noninteractive span and
suppression/elevation adjustments.
NOTE: Use of the optional offset null (pins 10, 11, and 12)
for elevation or suppressiun is not recommended. This trim
techuique is used only to trim the IXRlOO's output offset
current.

MAJOR POINTS TO CONSIDER
WHEN USING THE IXR100
1. The leads to Rs and l\m should be kept as short as
possible to reduce noise pick-up and parasitic resistance.
If the linearity correction feature is not desired, the RUN
pins are left open.
2. +Vs should be bypassed with a O.OlJ.IF capacitor as close
to the unit as possible (pins 18 to 28).

its operating range. Also, operate the current sources
within their rated compliance voltage:

important if the receiving equipment has particularly low
resistance or uses higher voltage supplies. In general, the

necessary. In either case a IN4148 diode is suitable.
8. Use a layout which minimizes parasitic inductance and

6. Always choose 1\, (including line resistance) so that the
voltage between pins 18 and 28 (+ Vs) remains within the
l1.6V to 36V range as the output changes between 4mA
and 20mA.
7. It is recommended that a reverse polarity protection diode
be used. This will prevent damage to the IXRlOO caused
by a transient or long-term reverse bias between pins 18
and 28. This diode can be connected in either of the two
positions shown in Figure 7, but each connection has its
trade-off. The series-connected diode will add to the
minimum voltage at which the IXRlOO will operate but
offers loop and device protection against both reverse
connections and transients. The reverse-biased diode in
parallel with the IXRlOO preserves 11.6V minimum
operation and offers device protection, but could allow
excessive current flow in the receiving instrument if the
field leads are accidently reversed. This is particularly

RECOMMENDED HANDLING
PROCEDURES FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

All semiconductor devices are vulnerable, in varying
degrees, to damage from the discharge of electrostatic energy. Such damage can cause performance degradation or
failure, either immediate or latent. As a general practice, we
recommend the following handling procedures to reduce the
risk of electrostatic damage.
1. Remove static-generating materials, such as untreated
plastic, from all areas where microcircuits are handled.
2. Ground all operators, equipment, and work stations.
3. Transport and ship microcircuits, or products incorporating microcircuits, in static-free, shielded containers.
4. Connect together all leads of each device by means of a
conductive material, when the device is not connected
into a circuit.

RTD APPLICATIONS
The IXRlOO has been designed with RID applications
specifically in mind. The following information provides
additional information for those applications.

TWO- AND THREE-WIRE CONNECTIONS
The IXRlOO performs well with two-wire and three-wire
RID connections commonly encountered in industrial monitoring and control.
In two-wire applications, the voltage drop between the RTD
and the IXRIOO can be nulled by proper adjustment of Rz'
but care must be taken that this voltage drop does not vary
with ambient conditions. Such variation will appear as an
apparent variation in the RTD resistance and therefore as a
change in measured temperature. Also, the linearity correction will interpret this change as a variation and attempt to
linearize both the actual RTD signal and the resistance
changes in the signal lines. For these reasons, the line
resistance between the RID and the IXRlOO should be
minimized by keeping line lengths short and/or using largegauge wires. This limitation does. not apply for three-wire
connections.
In three-wire applications, shown in Figure 7, the RTD and
lead arrangements set up a pseudo-Kelvin connection to
the RID. This occurs because the currents through the three
wires are set up in opposing directions and cancel IR drops
in the RID leads. The current sources are both modulated

equally, so that use of the linearity correction does not affect
the cancellation. This action is true so long as the three wires
are of the same length and gauge. Because most RID leads
are twisted and bundled, this reqUirement is usually met with
no difficulty. Care must be taken that intermediate connections such as screw terminals do not violate this assumption
by introducing unequal line resistances.

RTD ZERO ELEVATION AND SUPPRESSION
The IXRlOO may be operated in zero-elevated and zerosuppressed ranges by simply offsetting ~. It may also be
used in increase-decrease applications by interchanging the
physical locations of the RTD and ~ as shown in Figure 8.
Use the same values of~, l\'N and Rs' Again, because the
current sources are matched and are modulated equally, this
connection has no effect on IXRlOO performance, especially
in three-wire applications.
OPEN CIRCUIT DETECTION
In some applications of the IXRIOO, the RID will be located
remotely. In these cases, it is possible for open circuits to
develop. The IXRIOO responds in the following manner to
breaks in each lead. The following connections refer to the
RID connections shown in Figure 7.

OTHER APPLICATIONS

From Equation (I), Rs = 48.S0. Span adjustment (calibration) is accomplished by trimming Rs.

In instances where the linearization capability of the IXR100
is not required, it can still provide improved performance in
several applications. Its small size, wide compliance voltage, low zero and span drift, high PSRR, high CMRR and
excellent linearity makes the IXRlOO ideal for a variety of
other isolated two-wire transmitter applications. It can be
used by OEMs producing different types of isolated transducer transmitter modules and by data acquisition systems
manufacturers who gather transducer data. Current mode
transmission greatly reduces noise interference. The twowiT" nHhlr" of the device allows economical signal conditioning at the transducer. Thus, the IXRlOO is, -in general,
very suitable for a wide variety of applications. Some
examples, including an isolated non-linearized Pt100 case
follow.
'

In order to make the lower range limit of 2SoC correspond
to the output lower range limit at 4mA, the input circuitry
shown in Figure 9 is used. VIN must be OV at 2S0C and R
is chosen to be equal to the RTD resistance at 25°C, o~
109.730. Computing RCM and checking CMV:
At +2SoC, V IN+

=43.9mV

Since both V IN+ and Vz are small relative to the desired 2V
common-mode voltage, they may be ignored in computing
ReM as long as the Cr-.1V is met.
V IN+ min = 3V + 0.0439V
V IN+ max = 3V + 0.0629V

EXAMPLE 2

Given a process with temperature limits of +25°C and
+150°C, configure the IXRlOO to measure the temperature
with a Pt100 RID which produces 109.730 at 25°C and
157.310 at 150°C (obtained from standard RID tables).
Transmit 4mA for +25°C and 20mA for +lSO°C. The
change in resistance of the RTD is 47.60. When excited
with a 0.4mA current source l'>.VJN is OAmA X 47.60 =
19mV.

Given a process with temperature (T,) limits of O°C and

with a Type J thermocouple that produces a 58mV change
for lOOO°C change. Use a semiconductor diode for a cold
junction compensation to make the measurement relative to
O°C. This is accomplished by supplying a compensating
voltage, equal to that normally produced by the thermocouple with its "cold junction" (T2) at ambient. At +2SoC
this is 1.28mV (from thermocouple tables with reference

THERMOCOUPLE BURN-OUT INDICATION
In process control applications it is desirable to detect when
a thennocouple has burned out. This is typically done by
forcing the two-wire transmitter current to the upper or
lower limit when the thennocouple impedance goes very
high. The circuits of Figures 10, 11 and 12 inherently have
down scale indication. When the impedance of the thennocouple gets very large (open) the bias current flowing into
the + input (large impedance) will cause 10 to go to its lower
range limit value (about 3.6mA). If up scale indication is
desired, the circuit of Figure 13 should be used. When the Tc
opens, the output will go to its upper range limit value (about
32mA or higher).

The PWS725A and PWS726A convert a single 7 to

providing ±15mA at rated voltage accuracy and up to
±40mA without damage. (See Output Current Rating.)

oscillator before either MOSFET driver turns on,
protects the switches, and eliminates high inrush currents during tnrn-on. Input current sensing protects
both the converter and the load from possible thennal
damage during a fault condition.

The PWS725A and PWS726A converters provide
reliable, engineered solutions where isolated power is
required in critical applications. The high isolation
voltage rating is achieved through use of a speciallydesigned transfonner and physical spacing. An additional high dielectric-strength, low leakage transfonner
coating increases the isolation rating of the PWS726A.

Special design features make these converters
especially easy to apply. The compact size allows
dense circuit layout while maintaining critical isolation requirements. The Input Sync connection allows
frequency synchronization of multiple converters. The
Output Sync is available to synchronize ISOl20 and
ISOl21 isolation amplifiers. The Enable input allows
control over output power in instances where
shutdown is desired to conserve power, such as in
battery-powered equipment, or where sequencing of
power tnrn-onltnrn-off is desired.

Reliability and perfonnance are designed in. The
bifilar wound, wirebonded transfonner simultaneously
provides lower output ripple than competing designs,

SYNC Frequency (kHz)
(Optional External Control)

THEORY OF OPERATION
The PWS725A and the PWS726A DCIDC converters consist of a free-running oscillator, control and switch driver
circuitry, MOSFET switches, a transformer, a bridge rectifier, and filter capacitors together in a 32-pin DIP (0.900
inches nominal) package. The control circuitry consists of
current limiting, soft start, frequency adjust, enable, and
synchronization features. See Figure 1. In instances where
several converters are used in a system, beat frequencies
developed between the converters are a potential source of
low frequency noise in the supply and ground paths. This
noise may couple into signal paths. See Figures 2 and 3 for
connection of INPUT SYNC pin. Converters can be syn-

withll

chronized and these beat frequencies avoided. The unit
the highest natural frequency will determine the synchronized running frequency. To avoid excess stray capacitance, the INPUT SYNC pin should not be loaded with
more than 5OpF. H unused, the INPUT SYNC must be left
open.
Soft start circuitry protects the MOSFET switches during
start up. This is accomplished by holding the gate-to-source
voltage of both MOSFET switches low until the freerunning oscillator is fully operational. In addition to that
soft start circuitry, input current sensing also protects the
MOSFET switches. This current limiting keeps the FET

switches operating in their safe operating area under fault
conditions or excessive loads. When either of these conditions occur, the peak input current exceeds a safe limit. The
result is an approximate 5% duty cycle, 3001JS drive period
to the MOSFET switches. This protects the internal MOSFET
switches as well as the external load from any thermal
damage. When the fault or excessive load is removed, the
converter resumes normal operation. A delay period of
approximately 50IJS incorporated in the current sensing
circuitry allows the output filter capacitors to fully charge
after a fault is removed. This delay period corresponds to a
filter capacitance of no more than IIJF at either of the output
pins. This provides full protection of the MOSFET switches
and also sufficiently filters the output ripple voltage (see
specification table). The current sensing circuitry is designed to provide thermal protection for the MOSFET
switches over the operating temperature range as well. The
low thermal resistance for the package (file = lOOCIW)
ensures safe operation under rated conditions. When these
rated conditions are exceeded, the unit will go into its
shutdown mode.
An optional potentiometer can be connected between the
two FREQUENCY ADJUST pins to trim the oscillator
operating frequency ±10% (see Figure 4). Care should be
taken when trimming the frequency near the low frequency
range. If the frequency is trimmed too low, the peak inductive currents in the primary will trip the' input current
sensing circuitry to protect the MOSFET switches from
these peak inductive currents.'
The ENABLE pin allows external control of output power.
When this pin is pulled low, output power is disabled. Logic
thresholds are TTL compatible. When not used, the Enable
input may be left open or tied to V IN (pin 16).

OUTPUT CURRENT RATING
The. total current which can be drawn from the PWS725A
or PWS726A is a function of total power being drawn from
both outputs (see Functional Diagram). If one output is not
used, then maximum current can be drawn from the other
output. If both outputs are loaded, the total current must be
limited such that:

IIL+I + IIel :s; SOmA
It should be noted that many analog circuit functions do not
simultaneously draw full rated current from both the positive and negatives supplies. For example, an operational
amplifier may draw 13mA from the positive supply under

full load while drawing only 3mA from the negative supply.
Under these conditions, the PWS72SAJ726A could supply
power for up to five devices (80mA + 16mA z 5). Thus, the
PWS72SAJ726A can power more circuits than is at fl.rst
apparent.

OUTPUT SYNC SIGNAL
To allow synchronization of an IS0120 or IS0121 isolation
amplifier, the PWS725A and PWS726A have an OUTPUT
SYNC signal at pin 29. It should be connected as shown in
Figure 5 to keep capacitive loading of pin 29 to a minimum.
If output sync is not used, leave pin open.

ISOLATION VOLTAGE RATINGS
Because a long-term test is impractical in a manufacturing
situation, the generally accepted practice is to perform a
production test at a higher voltage for some shorter period of
time. The relationship between actual test conditions and the
continuous derated maximum specification is an important
one. Burr-Brown has chosen a deliberately conservative
one: VDCTEST =(2 X VACrms CONTINUOUS RATING) + lOOOV for
ten seconds. This choice is appropriate for conditions where
system transient voltages are not well defined. (I) Where the
real voltages are well-defined or where the isolation voltage
is not continuous, the user may choose a less conservative
derating to establish a specification from the test voltage.

The PWS740-1 is a high-frequency (400kHz nominal)
oscillator/driver, handling up to eight channels. This
part is a hybrid containing an oscillator and two power
FETs. It is supplied in a TO-3 case to provide the
power dissipation necessary at full load. Transformer
impedance limits the maximum input current to about
700mA at l5V input, well within the unit's thermal
limits. A TTL-compatible ENABLE pin provides output shut-down if desired. A SYNC pin allows synchronization of several PWS740-1s.

• FLEXIBLE USE WITH PWS745
COMPONENTS

DESCRIPTION
The PWS740 is a multichannel, isolated DC-to-DC
converter with a l500VAC continuous isolation rating. The outputs track the input voltage to the converter over the range of 7 to 20VDC. The converter's
modular design, comprising three components, minimizes the cost of isolated multichannel power for the
user.

The PWS740-2 is a trifilar-wound isolation transformer using a ferrite core and is encapsulated in a
plastic package, allowing a higher isolation voltage
rating. The PWS740-3 is a high-speed rectifier bridge
in a plastic 8-pin mini-DIP package. One PWS740-2
and one PWS740-3 are used per isolated channel.

ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
Electrostatic discharge can cause daruage ranging from performance degradation to complete device failure. BurrBrown Corporation recommends that all integrated circuits
be handled and stored using appropriate ESD protection
methods.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS OF
PWS740-1 DRIVER
+VIN' RETURN, AND GND
These are the power supply pins. The ground connection,
RETURN, for the N-chauneIMOSFET sources is brought
out separately from the ground counection for the oscillatorl
driver chip. The waveform of the FETs' ground return
current (and also the current in the VDRIVE line) is an 800kHz
sawtooth. A capacitor between +VIN and the FET ground
provides a bypass for the AC portion of this current.
The power should never be instantaneously interrupted to
the PWS740 system (i.e., a break in the line from V+, either
accidental or by means of a series switch). Normal powerdown of the V+ supply is not considered instantaneous.
Should a rapid break in input power occur, however, the
transformers' voltage will rapidly increase to maintain current flow. Such a voltage spike may daruage the PWS740-1.
The bypass capacitors at the +VIN pin of the PWS740-1 and
the VDRIVE pins of the transformers provide a path for the
primary current if power is interrupted; however, total protection requires some type ofbidirectionallA voltage claruping at the +VIN pin. A low cost SA20A TransZorb® from
General Semiconductor' ) or equivalent, which will clarup
the +VIN pin between -O.6V and +23V, is recommended.
To ANDro
These pins are the drains of the N-chaunel MOSFET switches
which drive all the transformer primaries in parallel. The
signals on these pins are 400kHz complementary square
waves with twice the aruplitude of the voltage at +VIN' It is
these lines that allow the power to be distributed to the
individual high voltage isolation transformers. Without proper
printed circuit board layout techniques, these lines could
generate interference to analog circuits. See the next section
on PCB layout.

SYNCHRONIZATION
The SYNC pin is used to synchronize up to eight PWS740I oscillators. Synchronization is useful to prevent beat frequencies in the supply voltages. The SYNC pins of two or
more PWS740-ls' are tied together to force all units to the
sarue frequency of oscillation. The resultant frequency is
slightly higher than that of the highest unsynchronized unit.
If this feature is not required, leave the SYNC pin open. The
SYNC pin is sensitive to capacitance loading. ISOpF or less
is recommended. Also external parasitic capacitive feedback
between either To and the SYNC pin can cause unstable
operation (commonly seen as jitter in the To outputs). Keep
SYNC connections and To lines as physically isolated as
possible. Avoid shorting the SYNC pin directly to ground or
supply potentials; otherwise, daruage may result.
Figure I shows a method for synchronizing a greater number
of PWS740-1 drivers. One unit is chosen as the master. Its
synchronization sigual, buffered by a high-speed unity gain
aruplifier can synchronize up to 20 slave units. Pin I of each
slave unit must be grounded to assure synchronization.
Minimize capacitive coupling between the buffered sync
line and the outputs of the drivers, especially at the end of
long lines. Capacitance to ground is not critical, but total
stray capacitance between the sync line and switching outputs should be kept below SOpF. Where extreme line lengths
are needed, such as between printed circnit boards, additional OPA633 buffers may be added to keep drive impedance at an acceptably low value. Because of temperatureinfluenced shifts in the switching levels, best operation of
this circuit will occur when differences in arubient temperatures between the PWS740-1 drivers are minimized, typically within a 35°C range.

ENABLE
A high TTL logic level on this pin activates the MOSFET

continuous operation, the ENABLE pin can be left open or
tied to a voltage between +2V and +V.

FIGURE 2. External Synchronization of Multiple PWS740 Drivers with TIL-Level Signals.
If larger temperature gradients are likely to occur, the user

may wish to consider the synchronization method shown in
Figure 2. This circuit is driven from an external TILcompatible source such as a system clock or a simple freerunning oscillator constructed of TIL gates. The output
stage provides temperature compensation over the rated
temperature range of the PWS740. The signal source frequency should be about 800kHz for rated performance, but
may range from 500kHz to 2MHz with slightly reduced
performance. Precautions with regard to circuit coupling and
layout are the same as for the circuit of Figure 1. Repeaters
using the OPA633 may be used for long line lengths.
Symmetry and good high-frequency layout practice are
important in successful application of both of these synchronization techniques.
FREQUENCY ADJUSTMENT
The FREQ ADJ pin may be connected to an external
potentiometer to lower an unsynchronized PWS740-1 oscillator frequency. This may be useful if the frequency of the
PWS740-l is too close to some other signal's frequency in
the system and beat interference is possible. See Typical
Performance Curves. Use of this pin is not usually required;
if not used, leave open for rated performance.

THEORY OF OPERATION
EXTERNAL FILTER COMPONENTS

Filter components are necessary to reduce the input ripple
current and the output voltage noise_ Without any input
filtering, the sawtooth currents in the FET switches would
flow in the +V supply line. Since this AC current can be as
great as lA peak, voltage interference with other components using this supply line would likely occur. The input
ripple current can be reduced to approximately lrnA peak

th_

with the addition of two components-a bypass capacitor
between the +VIN pin and ground, and a series inductor in
VDRIVE line. A 1O~ tantalum capacitor is adequate fo
bypass. A parallel 0.33~ ceramic capacitor will extend th
bandwidth of the tantalum. Additional bypass capacitors at
each primary center-tap of the transformers are recommended. In general, the higher the capacitance, the lower the
ripple, but the parasitic series inductance of the bypass
capacitors will eventually be the limiting factor. The inductor value recommended is approximately 20(.IH. Greater
reduction in ripple current is achieved with values up to
lOO(.IH; then physical size may become a concern. The
inductor should be rated for at least 2A and its DC resistance
should be less than O.IQ. An example of a low cost indicator
is part number 51591 from Pulse Engineering(2).
Output voltage filtering is achieved with a 0.33~ capacitor
connecting each VOUT pin of the diode bridge to ground.
Short leads and close placement of the capacitors to the unit
provide optimum high frequency bypassing. The 800kHz
output ripple should be below 5mVp-p. Higher frequency
noise bursts are also present at the outputs. They coincide
with the switch times and are approximately 20mV in amplitude. Inductance of 1O(.IH or less in series with the output
loads will significantly reduce the noise as seen by the loads.
PC BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Multilayer printed circuit boards are recommended for
PWS740 systems. Two-layer boards are certaiuly possible
with satisfactory operation; however, three layers provide
greater density and better control of interference from the
FET switch signals. Should four-layer boards be reqnired for
other circuitry, the use of separate layers for power and
ground planes, a layer for switching signals, and a layer for
analog signals would allow the most straightforward layout
for the PWS740 system. The following discussion pertains
to a tbree- or four-layer board layout.

Critical consideration should go to minimizing electromagnetic radiation from the switching signal's lines. To and To.
You can identify the path of the switching current by starting
at the +VIN pin. The dynamic component of the current is
supplied primarily from the bypass capacitor. The high
frequency current flows through the inductor and down the
V DRIVE line, through one side of the transformer windings,
returning in the To with the "on" PET switch, and then back
up through the bypass capacitor. This current path defines a
loop antenna which transmits magnetic ~nergy. The magnetic field lines reinforce at the center of the loop, while the
field lines reinforce at the center of the loop, while the field
lines from opposite points of the loop oppose each other
outside the loop. Cancellation of magnetic radiation occurs
when the loop is collapsed to two tightly spaced parallel line
segments, each carrying the same current in opposite directions: For this reason, the printed circuit traces for both To
connections should lay directly over a power plane forming
the VDRIVE connecti~n. This plane need not extend much
wider than To and To. All of the current in the plane will
flow. directly under the To traces because this is the path of
least inductance (and least radiation).
Another potential problem with the To lines is electric field
radiation. Fortunately, the VDRIVE plane is effective at terminating most of the field lines because of its proximity to

these lines. Additional shielding can be obtained by running
ground trace(s) along the To lines, which also facilitate
minimum loop area connections for the transformer's center
tap bypass capacitors.
The connections between the secondary (output side) of the
transformer and the diode bridges should be kept as short as
possible. Unnecessary stray capacitance on these lines could
cause tuned circuit peaking to occur, resulting in a slight
increase of output voltage.
The PWS740 is intended for use with the IS0102, IS0120
or ISOl22 isolation amplifiers (see Figure 3). Place the
PW~740-2 transformer on the V OUT side of the buffer rather
than on the C 1 (bandwidth control) side to prevent possible
pickup of switch signal by the IS0102.
The best ground connection ties the IS0102 output analog
common pin to the PWS740-1 ground pin with a ground
plane. This is where a four-layer board design becomes
convenient. The digital ground of the IS0102 can be connected to the ground plane or closer to the +V supply. If
possible; you should include the analog components that the
IS0102 drives on the same board. For example, if several
IS0102s are multiplexed to an analog/digital converter, then
having all components sharing the same ground plane will
significantly simplify grourid errors. Avoid connecting digi-

tal ground and the PWS740 ground together locally, leaving
the ISO 102 analog ground to be connected off of the board;
the differential voltage between analog and digital ground
may become too great.
OUTPUT CURRENT RATINGS

The PWS740-1 driver contains "soft-start" driver circuitry
to protect the driver PETs and eliminate high inrush currents
during tum-on. Because the PWS740 can have between one
and eight channels connected, it was not possible to provide
a suitable internal current limit within the driver. Instead,
impedance-limiting protects the driver and transformer from
overload. This means that the internal impedance of each
PWS740-2 transformer is high enough that, when shortcircuited at its output, it limits the current drawn from the
driver to a safe value. In addition, the wire size and mass of
the transformer are large enough that the transformer does
not receive damage under continuous short-circuit conditions.
The PWS740-1 is capable of driving up to eight individual
channels to their full current rating. The total current which
can be drawn from each isolation channel is a function of
total power being drawn from both DC V+ and V- outputs.
For example, if one output is not used, then maximum
current can be drawn from the other output. In all cases, the
maximum total current that can be drawn from any individual channel is:

It should be noted that many analog circuit functions do not
simultaneously draw full rated current from both the positive
and negative supplies. Thus, the PWS740 can power more
circuits per channel than is first apparent. For example, an
operational amplifier does not draw maximum current from
both supplies simultaneously. If a circuit draws lOrnA from
the positive supply and 3mA from the negative supply, the
PWS740 could power (60 + 13), about four devices per
channel.

ISOLATION VOLTAGE RATINGS
Because a long-term test is impractical in a manufacturing
situation, the generally accepted practice is to perform a
production test at a higher voltage for some shorter period of
time. The relationship between actual test conditions and the
continuous derated maximum specification is an important
one. Burr-Brown has chosen a deliberately conservative
one: VTEST = (2 X VCONTINUOUSRATlN,) + lOOOV. This choice is
appropriate for conditions where system transient voltages
are not well defined. (3) Where the real voltages are welldefined or where the isolation voltage is not continuous, the
user may choose a less conservative derating to establish a
specification from the test voltage.

DESCRIPTION
The PWS745 is a set of components useful in the
construction of single or multi-channel isolated
DC/DC converters. By themselves, or in combination
with the PWS740 and PWS750 families of components, they allow compact, optimal, and low-cost solutions to many power supply problems.
The PWS745-1 DIP oscillator/driver can be used to
drive up to eight channels of independently isolated
power. The switching MOSPETs are built into the
driver to allow simple low-cost assembly of the multichannel converter. The PWS745-1 also is capable of
operating at 5VDC and can be easily synchronized
with TTL level signals. While offering the user an
alternative to the TO-3 package of the PWS740, the

PWS745-1 also allows the user to select varying levels
of power, isolation voltage, mounting technology and
system configuration by choosing among the several
component families. For example, the PWS745-1 can
directly drive the PWS740, PWS745, or PWS750
transformers. It also can drive the PETs of a PWS750
distributed power system. The operating frequency is
compatible with the ISO 120 family of isolation amplifiers and is capable of multi-channel synchronized
operation to eliminate troublesome beat frequencies.
The PWS745-2 is a 15V to ±15V output version, while
the PWS745-4 is the 5V to ±15V output version. The
PWS740-3 high-speed bridge provides a convenient
rectifier for the selected transformer output.

BASIC OPERATION
The PWS74S components are used to build a multichannel
DCIDC converter. The oscillator runs at 600kHz nominal,
making it possible to reduce the size of the transformer and
lower the output ripple voltage. The PWS74S-l is a power
oscillator/switch able to directly drive the primary side of an
isolation transformer. The small size of the driveris achieved
by using a multiple chip transfer molding process. The
power components are mounted directly on the copper
leadframe, utilizing two pins directly connected to each die
pad to maximize heat sink area. The output of the transformer is rectified with a high speed diode bridge. The
PWS740-2 is used when lS00Vrms isolation is required.
The PWS745-2 or PWS7S0-2 is used when 750Vrms isolation is required. With these transformers, the output voltages
ilirt:cily track the input voltage. The P,\VS745 -1 or P'lfS750-

4 is used to step up the input voltage from SV to ±lSV.
Operation at SV makes it possible to build an isolated system
for powering the analog components when only a logic
supply is available. Using the PWS74S-2 or -4 allows the
user O.Sin. PCB spacing. The possible component combinations are summarized in Figure 1 and Tables I and II. The
600kHz operating frequency enables direct synchronization
with products such as the IS0120 and ISOl21. See Figure
3. The use of synchronization makes it possible to eliminate
any power-supply induced ripple in the output of the isolation amplifiers and to minimize beats falling in the signal
path bandwidth.

The COM pins are connected to the sources of the internal

from the primary windings of the transformers flows in
through the T and T pins and then out through the COM
pins.

TTL'N
This pin must be tied to ground, except when it is desired to
control the driver frequency with an external TTL level
frequency source. The duty cycle can vary from 12% to 9S%
(see Typical Performance Curves). The input frequency
must be twice the desired operating frequency, because an
internal flip-flop is used to produce a precise 50% duty cycle
signal to the drivers.

When multiple PWS74S-1 drivers must be synchronized to

used to synchronize with the remaining drivers. The TTLOUT

3300 to 3.31d1 pull-up resistor will be necessary, depending
on the stray capacitance on the synchronizing line. A maximum of 8 PWS745-1s can be connected without the use of
an external TTL buffer.
ENABLE
An ENABLE pin is provided so that the DRIVE and i5RNE
pins can be shut down to the low state within one cycle to
minimize power use if desired. A TTL low applied to the pin
will shut down the driver .and a TTL high will enable the
driver. The TTLOUT will stilI have the 1.2MHz signal so that
a master driver can be disabled without shutting down the
remaining synchronized drivers. The pin can be left open for
normal operation.
DRIVE, DRIVE
These pins are normally connected directly to the adjacent
GATE pin and are used to drive the gates of the internally
packaged MOSFETs. If desired, these pins may be used
instead to drive the gates of external FETs, such as those
used in the PWS750 series of power components. It is
important to minimize the capacitance on these nodes to
insure the rapid charging of the MOSFET gates.
GATE, GATE
These pins are normally connected directly to the adjacent
DRIVE pins, which are internally connected to the gates of
the MOSFETs.

T,T
The T and T pins are the complementary transformer drive
connections. The signals on these pins are 600kHz complementary square waves with twice the amplitude of the input
voltage. These lines connect MOSFET switches to the isolation transformers through the To and To pins. Without
proper printed circuit board layout techniques, these lines
could generate interference to analog circuits. Refer to the
section on layout techniques.

To, To
These pins are the primary terminals of the transformer and
are connected to the T and T pins of the PWS745-1.

VD
The center tap of the primary of the transformer is tied
directly to the supply. A 0.3IJP bypass .capacitor must be
located as close to this pin as possible.
AC
The output of the isolation transformer which is connected
to the AC inputs on the PWS740-3 or PWS750-3 diode
bridge.

PC BOARD LAYOUT
CONSIDERATIONS
Multilayer printed circuit boards are recommended for
PWS745 systems. Two-layer boards are certainly possible

with satisfactory operation; however, three layers provide
greater density and better control of interference from the
power switching lines. Should a four-layer board be required
for other circuitry, the use of separate layers for ground and
power planes, a layer for switching signals and a layer for
analog signals would allow the most straightforward layout
of the PWS745 system. Critical consideration should go to
minimizing electromagnetic radiation from the power switching lines T -To and T -To:The dynamic component of the
current is supplied by the bypass capacitor on the V D pin of
the transformer. The high frequency AC current flows through
the transformer , To' returning in the T pin, passing through
the MOSFET and exiting through the COM pin back to the
bypass capacitor. This current path defines a magnetic loop
which transmits a magnetic field. The magnetic field lines
reinforce at the center of the loop, while the field lines from
opposite points of the loop oppose each other outside the
loop. Cancellation of the magnetic radiation occurs when the
loop is collapsed to two tightly spaced parallel line segments, each carrying the same current in the opposite direction. All of the current in the ground or power plane will
flow directly under the T -To traces because this is the path
of least inductance or impedance. Another potential problem
with the T-To lines is electric field radiation. Here, the
power plane is effective in terminating most of the field lines
because of its proximity. Additional shielding can be obtained by running ground trace(s) along the T -To lines,
facilitating a minimum loop area for the transformer's center-tap bypass capacitor.
The connection between the outputs of the transformer and
the diode bridge should be kept as short as possible. Unnecessary stray capacitance on these lines could cause resonant
peaking to occur, resulting in a slight increase in output
voltage.
EXTERNAL FILTER COMPONENTS
Filter components are necessary to reduce the input ripple
current and output voltage noise. Without any input filtering,
~~awtooth currents of the switching power lines T-To and
T-To would flow in the supply line. Since this AC current
can be as great as IA peak, voltage interference with other
components using this supply line would likely occur. Use
of a pi-filter can reduce the input ripple cUrrent to about
1mA peak. Recommended values are a 201lH inductor prior
to the connection of the supply to the power plane. A lOIJP
tantalum capacitor with a 0.33IJP ceramic capacitor is adequate for the input bypassing. The inductor must be rated
for at least 2A or a DC resistance of 0.10. An example of a
low-cost inductor is part number 51591 from Pulse Engineering. Output voltage filtering is achieved with a 0.33IJP
capacitor connecting each V OUT pin of the diode bridge to
ground. Short leads and close placement of the capacitors to
the bridge provide optimum high frequency bypassing. Using correct bypassing techniques, 600kHz ripple of less than
5mVp-p is achievable. High frequency noise bursts coinciding with the switch times are approximately 2OmVp-p.
Inductance of 201lH in series with the output loads will
significantly reduce the noise seen by the loads.

HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING

5V OPERATION
With SV operation, the transfonner winding ratio is 3-to-l,
generating much greater currents in the primary. Therefore,
four channels are the maximum that can be powered directly
by the PWS74S-1.

Burr Brown Corporation has adopted a partial discharge test
criterion that confonns to the Gennan VDE0884 optocoupler
standard. This method requires that less than Spc partial
discharge crosses the isolation barrier with 1200Vnns 60Hz
applied. This criterion confInns transient overvoltage (1.6 x
7S0Vnns) protection without damage to the PWS74S-2 or
PWS74S-4. Life test results verify the absence of high
voltage breakdown under continuous rated voltage and maximum temperature. The minimum AC voltage that initiates
partial discharge above Spc is defIned as the "inception
voltage." Decreasing the barrier voltage to a lower level is
required before partial discharge ceases and is known as
"extinction voltage." We have developed a package insulation system to yield an inception voltage greater than
1200Vnns so that transient voltages below this level will not
damage the isolation barrier. The extinction voltage is above
7S0Vnns so that even overvoltage induced partial discharge ~
will cease once the barrier is reduced to the rated value. • Previous high voltage test methods relied on applying a ~
large enough overvoltage (above rated) to break down mar- >
ginal units, but not so high as to pennanently damage good Il.
ones. Our partial discharge testing gives us more confIdence
in barrier reliability than breakdown criteria.
•

OUTPUT CURRENT RATING
The PWS74S-1 driver contains "soft start" driver circuitry to
protect the driver MOSFETs and eliminate high in-rush
currents during tum-on. Impedance limiting by the isolation
transfonners provides short circuit protection on the secondary side and limits the primary side current to a safe value.
The total current which can be drawn from each isolation
channel at rated voltage is a function of total power being
drawn from both V+ and V- outputs. For example, if one
output is not used, then maximum current can be drawn from
the other output. In all cases, the maximum total current that
can be drawn from any individual channel is:
I~ +1

+ IlL-I < 60rnA

It should be noted that many analog circuit functions do not
simultaneously draw full rated current from both the positive
and negative supplies. Thus the PWS74S system can power
more circuits per channel than is first apparent. For example,
if a circuit draws 10rnA from the positive supply and 3rnA
from the negative supply, the PWS74S could power (60/13),
or about four devices per channel.

The PWS750-2U and PWS750-4U are split-bobbin
wound isolation transformers using a ferrite core.
They are encapsulated in plastic packages, allowing a
high isolation voltage rating.

DESCRIPTION
The PWS750 consists of three building blocks for
building a low cost DClDC converter. With them you
can optimize DClDC converter PC board layout or
build a multichannel isolated DC/DC converter. All
parts are surface mount, requiring minimal space to
build the converter. The modular design minimizes the
cost of isolated power.

The PWS750-3U is a high-speed monolithic diode
bridge in a plastic 8-pin SO package.
One PWS750-IU can be used to drive up to four
channels (l5V nominal operation). One PWS750-2U
and PWS750-3U and two 2N7002 (surface mount) or
2N7008 (T0-92) MOSFETs made by Siliconix are
used per isolated channel. When a PWS750-4U is
used as the transformer (5V input), then two TN0604s
made by Supertex must be used, due to the higher
currents of the primary (lower RDS on) and the lower
Vos threshold. With 5V operation only one channel
can be directly driven by the PWS750-lU (a simple
FET booster circuit can be used for multichannel
operation; see Figure 3).

The PWS750·lU is a high-frequency (800kHz nominal) driver that can drive N-channel MOSFETs up to
the size of a 1.3A 2N701O. The recommended
MOSFET for individual transformer drivers is the
2N7008. The PWS750-lU is supplied in a 16-pin
double-wide SO package.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The PWS750 components are basic building blocks to be
used with other standard components to build an isolated
push-pull DCIDC converter. The oscillator runs at 800kHz
nominal, making it possible to reduce the size of the transformer and lower the output ripple voltage.

During overload conditions the output drive shuts off for
approximately 801JS, then turns back on for 20IJS, resulting
in a 25% power up duty cycle. If the overload condition still
exists, then the output will shut off again. When the fault or
the excessive load is removed, the converter resumes normal
operation.

PWS750-1U OSCILLATOR PIN FUNCTIONS

The T and T pins are the complementary PET drive outputs
and are tied directly to the corresponding PET gate. The
connection must be as short as possible. For multiple channel operation they cannot be located above any ground or
power planes, because capacitive loading will not allow fast
enough charging of the PET gate.

TILIN is used to control the driver frequency with an
external TIL level frequency source. The input frequency
must be twice the desired driver frequency, since there is an
internal divide-by-2 circuit to produce a 50% duty cycle
output. The input duty cycle can vary from 12% to 95% (see
Typical Performance Curves). When in the free running
mode, the TI'I.w pin must be tied to ground.
TTLoUT is used when it is desired to synchronize the outputs
of multiple PWS750-1Us to minimize beat frequency problems. A standard open collector output is provided, therefore
a 3300 to 3.3kQ pull-up resistor will be necessary depending on stray capacitance on the sync line. A maximum of
eight PWS750-1Us can be connected without the use of an
external TTL buffer.
An Enable pin is provided so that the driver (T, T) can be
shut down to minimize power use if required. A TIL low
applied to the pin will shut down the driver within one cycle.
A TTL high will enable the driver within one cycle. The
TILOUT will still have an 800kHz signal when a master
driver is disabled, so other synchronized drivers will not be
shut down. The pin can be left open for normal operation.
The +VIN pin supplies power to the oscillator. The Vo pin
connects the power to the transformer through the internal
overcurrent sense resistor. The other end of the overcurrent
sense resistor is tied to +VIN' A O.31JP bypass capacitor must
be connected to the V0 pin to reduce the ripple current
through the shunt resistor; otherwise false current limit
conditions can occur due to ripple voltage peaks.

PWS750-2U AND PWS750-4U
TRANSFORMER PIN FUNCTIONS

On the primary side the VD pin of the PWS750-2U is tied
directly to the Vo pin of the PWS750-1U. Remember to
place a 0.11JP capacitor as close to the PWS750-2U V0 pin
as possible. The To and To pins are connected to the drains
of the corresponding PETs, whose sources are connected to
ground. On the secondary side of the transformer, the Gnd
pin is tied directly to the isolated ground. AC pins are
800kHz square wave signals at twice the output voltage, and
are connected directly to the corresponding pin on the
PWS750-3U. Pins 2 and 4 can be interchanged for ease of
hook up. The connection to the diode bridge must be as
direct as possible to minimize radiated noise.
The winding ratio for the PWS750-2U is 1:1. This means
that the output would normally be less than the input due to
voltage drops in the PETs, transformer and diode bridge.
Since the DCIDC converter is operating at 800kHz, the
transformer is starting to operate close to the resonant
frequency, which causes the output to increase in magnitude.

MULTIPLE CHANNEL OPERATION

PWS750·3U HIGH SPEED
DIODE BRIDGE PIN FUNCTIONS
The AC pins are tied directly to the AC pins of the PWS7502U. The +V and -v pins are rectified output voltages. The
filter capacitors milst be located as close as possible to these
pins to minimize series inductance and therefore noise.
Bypass capacitors will be needed at each device in the
circuit.

BASIC OPERATION
SINGLE CHANNEL OPERATION,
PC BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
A simple two-layer board can be used on single channel
applications to create a DCIDC converter with low radiated
noise. A ground plane should be located directly under both
the input and the output components for optimum ground
return paths. The surface mount components make it easy to
design with a ground plane. The output filter capacitors
should be located as close to the PWS750-3U as possible. A
sample layout is shown in Figure 1.
For multiple channel applications, T and Ttraces must have
miuimum capacitive loading. Therefore, there should be no
ground plane (or power plane) under these two traces. The
driver signal is a 4-6V low cnrrent 800kHz signal, which
will generate little radiated noise if the traces are kept short.

The oscillator can drive up to four-channels (eight FETs)
directly when operating at 1O-18V. A lOQ resistor must be
placed in series with T and T to stabilize the FET gate
charging. For more than four-channel operation, or 5Vmultiple-channel operation, the driver circuit needs a FET
booster circuit, as shown in Figure 2. Large gate drive surge
cnrrents (> 100riIA) are needed to tum on the gates.

If the total output cnrrent drawn by all the channels exceeds
250mA, then it will be necessary to circumvent the cnrrent
limit circuit by leaving the V0 pin of the PWS750-1 U open,
and connect the V0 pin of the PWS750-2U directly to the
supply.
5V OPERATION
With 5V operation, the transformer winding current ratio is
3: I, therefore generating much greater currents in the primary. The input ripple voltage will be larger, so an input pi
filter will be necessary to isolate the converter noise from the
rest of the circuit. For example, when the output is ±15mA
the input cnrrent will be at least 120mA.

OUTPUT CURRENT RATING

The PWS750-IU oscillator contains soft start circuitry to
protect the PETs from high inrush currents during turn on.
The interual input current limit is 250mA peak to prevent
thermal overload of the MOSPETs. The maximum output
rating is ±30mA. Total current, which can be drawn from
each isolation channel, is the total of the power being drawn
from both the +V and -V outputs. For example, if one output
is not used, then maximum current can be drawn from the
other output. In all cases the maximum current that can be
drawn from any individual channel is:
1+loUTI + 1-loUTI < 60mA
It should be noted that many analog circuit functions do not
simultaneously draw equal current from both the positive
and negative supplies.

When multiple channel operation is used, the maximum
current of all channels must be reduced to prevent the
overcurrent limit to trip. Alteruately, bypass the overcurrent
by leaving the VDPin of the PWS750-IU open and connecting the VD pin of the PWS750-2U directly to the supply.
HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING

Burr-Brown Corporation has adopted a partial discharge test
criterion that conforms to the German VDE0884 optocoupIer standard. This method requires that less than 5pC partial
discharge crosses the isolation barrier with 1200Vrms 60Hz
applied. This criterion confirms transient overvoltage (1.5 x
750Vrms) protection without damage to the PWS750-2U or
PWS750-4U. Life test results verify the absence of high
voltage breakdown under continuous rated voltage and maximum temperature.

The minimum AC barrier .voltage that initiates partial discharge above SpC is defmed as the ."inception voltage."
Decreasing !he barrier voltage to a lower level is required
before partial discharge ceases; this is known as "extinction
voltage." We have developed a package insulation system,to
yield an inception voltage greater than 1200Vrms so that
transient voltages below this level will not damage the
isolation barrier. The extinction voltage is above 7S0Vrms

so that even overvoltage-induced partial discharge will cease
once the barrier voltage is reduced to the rated value.
Previous high voltage test methods relied. on applying a
large enough overvoltage (above rating) to break down
marginal units, but not so high as to permanently damage
good ones.. Our partial discharge testing gives us more
confidence in barrier reliability than breakdown/no breakdown criteria.

INSTALLATION AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Typical application connections for the 722 are shown in
Figures 1 and 3. Primary power (VIN) is applied at the "P+"
and "V-" terminals. The common or ground for VIN may be
connected to either "P+" or "V-"; the only requirement is
that "P+"·and "V+" must be positive with respects to "V_".
Power for the internal oscillator and switch drivers is derived from the primary power by a voltage dropping resistor,
R I. The value of RI as a function of VIN is shown in the
Typical Performance Curves section. Alternately, voltage
for the "V+" terminal may be obtained from a separate
source. "V+" should be +5V to +7.5V positive with respect
to "V-." If a separate source is used, the "V+" input must be
applied before the "P+" input to avoid possible damage to
the unit. "P+" and "V+" must remain positive with respect
to ~'V-" at all times (including transients). If necessary,
diode clamps should be put across these inputs.

The "E" pin enables the converter when connected to "V+"
and disables it when connected to "V-."
An external capacitor, "C" (0.4711F ceramic), is used to
reduce input ripple. It should be connected as close to the
"P+" and "V-" pins as practical. Input leads to these terminals should also be kept as short as possible. Since the 722
is not internally shielded, external shielding may be appropriate in applications where RFl at the 900kHz nominal
oscillator frequency is a problem.
Each output is filtered with an internal O.2211F capacitor.
Output ripple voltage can be reduced below the specified
value by adding external capacitors up to 101IF between
each output and its common.

SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION

DISCUSSION
OUTPUT CURRENT RATINGS

At rated output voltage accuracy, the 722 is capable of
providing 64mA divided among its four outputs(l). A minimum average output current of 3mA is recommended at
each output to maintain voltage accuracy.

The circuit in Figure 2 may be added to the input of the 722
to protect it from damage in situations where too much
current is demanded from the outputs-such as a short
circuit from an output to its common. The circuit limits input
current to approximately 150mA for an input voltage of
15VDC (for B of 2N2219 of 50).

Output channels(2) may be connected in series or parallel for
higher output voltage or current.
P+ +V01

+

ISOLATION CONFIGURATIONS

C,

The fact that the two outputs of the 722 are isolated from the
input and from each other allows both two-port and threeport isolation connections.
Figure I shows Burr-Brown's 3650 optically coupled isolation amplifier connected in three-port configuration. One of
the 722 channels provides power to the 3650's input. The
other channel supplies power to the 3650's output. The
amplifier's input and output are isolated from each other and
the system's power supply common. In this configuration,
the 722's channel-to-channel isolation specification applies
to the amplifier input-to-output voltage.

situation, the 722's input-to-output isolation specification
applies to the amplifier's input-to-output voltages, while the
channel-to-channel 722 specification applies to the voltage
existing between "IJP Com #1" and "IJP Com #2."

• TEST EQUIPMENT
• DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEMS
• NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTATION

• LOW LEAKAGE CURRENT: <1!lA at

• LOW COST PER ISOLATED CHANNEL
• SMALL SIZE: 27.9mm X 27.9mm X 6.6mm
(1.1" X 1.1" X 0.26")

DESCRIPTION
The 724 converts a single 5VDC to 16VDC input into
four pairs of bipolar output voltages of approximately
half the output voltage. The converter is capable of
providing a total output current of 128mA at rated
voltage accuracy and up to SOOmA without damage.
The four output channels are isolated from the input
and from each other. They may be connected independently, in series for higher output voltage, or in parallel for higher output cUrrent as a single channel isolated DCIDC converter.

Integrated circuit construction of the 724 reduces size
and cost. High isolation breakdown voltages and low
leakage currents are assured by special design and
construction which includes use of a high dielectric
strength, and low leakage coating used on the internal
assembly.
A self-contained 800kHz oscillator drives switching
circuitry, which is designed to eliminate the common
problem of input current spiking due to transformer
saturation or crossover switching.

SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION

Figure 2 illustrates how the 724 may provide isolated input
power to the input stage of four 3650s connected in the twoport configuration. Power for the four output stages is
provided by the system +15VDC and -15VDC supplies.
Input stages are isolated from each other and from the
system supply. In this situation, the 724's isolation specification applies to amplifier's input-to-output voltage and to
the voltage existing between any two IIP COM terminals.

The circuit in Figure 3 may be added to the input of the 724
to protect it from damage in:· situations where too much
current is demanded from the outputs-such as a short
circuit from an output to its common. The circuit limits input
current to approximately 150mA for an input voltage of
15VDC (for {:J of 2N2219 of 50).

ISOLATION VOLTAGE RATINGS

NOTES: (1) 'Output" denotes a single output terminal (+V or -V) and its
associated common. (2) 'Channel" denotes a pair of outputs (+V and -V) and
their associated common. (3) Reference National Electrical Manufacturers
Association (NEMA) Standards Parts ICS 1·109 and ICS 1-111.

Since a "continuous" test is impractical in a product manufacturing situation (implies infinite test duration), it is generally accepted practice to perform a production test at a
higher voltage (i.e., higher than the continuous rating) for
some shorter length of time.
The important consideration is then "what is the relationship
between actual test conditions and the continuous derated
maximum specification?" There are several rules of thumb
used throughout the industry to establish this relationship.
Burr-Brown has chosen a very conservative one: VTEST =
(2 x VCONTINUOUSRATINO) + 1000V. This relationship is appropriate for conditions where the system transient voltages are
not well defined.(3) Where the real voltages are well defined
or where the isolation voltage is not continuous the user may
choose to use a less conservative derating to establish a
specification from the test voltage.

NONLINEARITY

ISOLATION·MODE VOLTAGE, VISO
The isolation-mode voltage is the voltage which appears
across the isolation barrier, i.e., between the input common
and the output common. (See Figure 1.)

Two isolation voltages are given in the electrical specifications: ''rated continuous" and "test voltage". Since it is
impractical on a production basis to test a "continuous"
voltage (infinite test time is implied), it is a generally
accepted practice to test at a significantly higher voltage for
some reasonable length of time. For the 3650 and 3652, the
''test voltage" is equal to lOOOV plus two times the ''rated
continuous" voltage. Thus, for a continuous rating of 2000V,
each unit is tested at 5000V.
COMMON·MODE VOLTAGE, VCM
The common-mode voltage is ,the voltage midway between
the two inputs of the amplifier measured with respect to
input common. It is the algebraic average of the voltage
applied at the amplifiers' input terminals. In the circuit in
Figure I, (V+ + VJ/2 = VCM' (NOTE: Many applications
involve a large system "common-mode voltage." Usually in
such cases the term defined here as "VCM" is negligible and
the system "common-mode voltage" is applied to the amplifier as "VISO" in Figure 1.)

Nonlinearity is specified to be the peak deviation from a best
straightline expressed as a percent of peak-to-peak full scale
output (i.e. ±lOrnV at 20Vp-p '" 0.05%).

THEORY OF OPERATION
Prior to the introduction of the 3650 family optical isolation
had not been practical in linear circuits. A single LED and
photodiode combination, while useful in a wide range of
digital isolation applications, has fundamental limitationsprimarily nonlinearity and instability as a function of time
and temperature.
The 3650 and 3652 use a unique technique to overcome the
limitations of the single LED and photodiode isolator.
Figure 2 is an elementary equivalent circuit for the 3650,
which can be used to understand the basic operation without
considering the cluttering details of offset adjustment and
biasing for bipolar operation.

ISOLATION·MODE REJECTION
The isolation-mode rejection is defined by the equation in
Figure I. The isolation-mode rejection is not infmite because there is some leakage across the isolation barrier due
to the isolation resistance and capacitance.

function of the accuracy of the matching and is further
enhanced by the use of negative feedback in the input stage.
Advanced laser trimming techniques are used to further
compensate for residual matching errors.
A model of the 3650 suitable for simple circuit analysis is
shown in Figure 3. The output is a current dependent voltage
source, VD' whose value depends on the input current. Thus,
the 3650 is a transconductance amplifier with a gain of one
volt per microamp. When voltage sources are used, the input
current is derived by using gain setting resistors in series
with the voltage source (see Installation and Operating
Instructions for details). RIN is the differential input impedance. The common-mode and isolation impedances are very
high and are assumed to be infinite for this model.

+IR and -IR inputs have a lOms pulse rating of 6000V

POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
The power supply connections for the 3650 and 3652 are
shown in Figure 5. When a DCIDC converter is used for
isolated power, it is placed in parallel with the isolation
barrier of the amplifier. This can lower the isolation impedance and degrade the isolation-mode rejection of the overall
circuit. Therefore, a high quality, low leakage DCIDC converter such as the Burr-Brown Model 722 should be used.

A simplified model of the 3652 is shown in Figure 4. The
isolation and output stages are identical to the 3650. Additlonallnput circuit....y consisting of PET buffer amplifiers and
input protection resistors have been added to give higher
differential and common-mode input impedance (lOlIO),

The offset nulling circuits are identical for the 3650 ~
3652 and are shown in Figure 5. The offset adjust circui
is optional and the units will meet the stated specifications
with the BAL terminals unconnected. Provisions are available to null both the input and output stage offsets. If the
amplifier is operated at a fixed gain, normally only one
adjustment will be used: the output stage (lOW adjustment)
for low gains and the input stage (50W adjustment) for high
gains, (> 10).
Use the following procedure if it is desired to null both input
and output components. (For example, if the gain of the
amplifier is to be switched). The input stage offset is first
nulled (50kO adjustment) with the appropriate input signal
pins connected to input common and the amplifier set at its
maximum gain, The eain i~ then set to its minimum value
and the output offset is nulled (lOW adjustment).

INPUT CONFIGURATIONS
Some possible input configurations for the 3650 and 3652
are shown in Figures 6a, 6b, 6c. Differential input sources
are used in these examples. For situations with nondifferential
inputs, the appropriate source term should be set to zero in
the gain equations and replaced with a short in the diagrams.

FIGURE 6a. 3650 with Differential Current Sources.

Figure 6a shows the 3650 connected as a transconductance
amplifier with input current sources. Voltage sources are
shown in Figure 6b. In this case the voltages are converted
to currents by Rm and Ro2' As shown by the equations, they
perform as gain setting resistors in the voltage transfer
function. When a single voltage source is used, it is recommended (but not essential) that the gain setting resistor
remain split into two equal halves in order to minimize
errors due to bias currents and common-mode rejection (see
Typi<;al Performance Curves).
Figure 6c illustrates the connections for the 3652 when the
FET buffer amplifiers, A, and A 2, are used. This configuration provides an isolation amplifier with high input impedance (both common-mode and differential, and good common-mode and isolation-mode rejection. It is a true isolated
instrumentation amplifier which has many benefits for noise
rejection when source impedance imbalances are present.
In the 3652, the voltage gain of the buffer amplifiers is
slightly less than unity, but the gain of the output stage has
been raised to compensate for this so that the overall transfer
function from the ±I or ±IR inputs to the output is correct. It
should be noted that A, and A, are buffer amplifiers. No
summing can be done at the ±I or ±IR inputs. Figure 6c
shows the +1 and -I inputs used. If more input voltage
protection is desired, then the +IR and -IR inputs should be
used. This will increase the input noise due to the contribution from the 1.6MQ resistors, but will provide additional
differential and common-mode protection (IOms rating of
3kV).

is shown in Figure 7.
A, and A" the input and output stage amplifiers, are considered to be ideal. Separate external generators are used to

to be small relative to Ro, and Ro2 and is therefore omitted

THEORY OF OPERATION
Details of the 3656 are shown in Figure 1. The external
connections shown, place it in its simplest gain configuration -unity gain, noninverting. Several other amplifier gain
configurations and power isolation configurations are
possible. See Installation and Operating Instructions and
Applications sections for details.
Isolation of both signal and power is accomplished with a
single miniature toroid transformer with multiple windings.
A pulse generator operating at approximately 750kHz provides a two-part voltage waveform to transformer, T I. One
part of the waveform is rectified by diodes DI through D. to
provide the isolated power to the input and output stages
(+V, -V and V+, V-). The other part of the waveform is
modulated with input signal information by the modulator
operating into the V 2 winding of the transformer.
The modulated signal is coupled by windings W6 and W 7 to
two matched demodulators---~---+--o Vour

mustrative Calculations:

Step 6

The maximum input voltage is loomV. It is desired to
amplify the input signal for maximum accuracy. Noninverting
output is desired.

G2 = I + (RxfRK) = 2.0
:.RxfRK = 1.0
:.Rx = RK

(15)

Input Stage:

Step 7

Step 1

The resistance seen by the + input terminal of the output
stage amplifier A, (pin 13) is the output resistance 100kn of
the output demodulator. The resistance seen by the (-) input
terminal of A, (pin 14) should be matched to the resistance
seen by the + input terminal.

G, max = 5V/max Input Signal = 5V O.IV = 50VN
With the above gain of 50VN, if the input ever exceeds
100mV, it would drive the output to saturation. Therefore, it
is good practice to allow reasonable input overrange.
So, to allow for 25% input overrange without saturation at
the output, select:
G,=40VN
G, = I + (RF + RA) = 40
:. RF+ RA = 39
Step 2

(13)

The voltage divider with RA + RF = 2Mn is 2Mnt(2Mn +
lookn) = 21(2 + 0.1) =95.2%, i.e., the percent loading is
4.8%.
(14)

Step 3
Solving equations (13) and (14)
RA = 50kn and RF = 1.95Mn

Step 4
The resistances seen by the + and - input terminals of the
input amplifier A, should be closely matched in order to
minimize offset voltage due to bias currents.

·"Re = RA II (RF + 100kn)
= 50kn II (1.95Mn + lookn)
'" 49kn
Output Stage:

Step 5
VOUT = VINMAX • G, • G2
As discussed in Step I, it is good practice to provide 25%
input overrange.
So we will calculate G2 for lOY output and 125% of the
maximum input voltage.
:. VOUT = (1.25 ·0.1)(G,)(G2)
i.e., IOV = 0.125 ·40· G2
:.G2 = lOV/5V = 2VN

5.210

:.Rx II RK = lookn
(Rx • RJ!(Rx + RK) = lookn
RJ![I +(RKIR01 = lookn

(16)

Step 8
Solving equations (15) and (16) RK = 20kn and Rx = 200kn.

RA + RF forms a voltage divider with the lookn output
resistance of the demodulator. To limit the voltage divider
loading effect to no more than 5%, RA + RF should be chosen
to be at least 2Mn. For most applications, the 2Mn should
be sufficiently large for RA + RF. Resistances greater than
2Mn may help decrease the loading effect, but would
increase the offset voltage drift.

Choose RA + RF = 2Mn

The resistance seen by pin 14 is the parallel combination of
Rx and RK.

Step 9
The output demodulator must be loaded equal to the input
demodulator.
:.RB = RA + RF = 2Mn
(See equation (14) above in Step 2).
Use the resistor values obtained in Steps 3, 4, 8 and 9, and
connect the 3656 as shown in Figure 3.
OFFSET TRIMMING
Figure 5 shows an optional offset voltage trim circuit. It is
important that RA + RF = RB.

CASE I: Input and output stages in low gain, use output
potentiometer (R,) only. Input potentiometer (R,)
may be disconnected. For example, uuity gain
could be obtained by setting RA = ~ = 20Mn, Rc
= lookn, ~= 0, ~ = 100kn, andRK =00.
CASE 2: Input stage in high gain and output stage in low
gain, use input potentiometer (R,) only. Output
potentiometer (R,) may be disconnected. For
example, GT = 100 could be obtained by setting
RF = 2Mn, RB = 2Mn returned to pin 17, RA =
20kn, Rx = 100kn, and RK := 00.
CASE 3: When it is necessary to perform a two-stage
precision trim (to maintain a very small offset
change under conditions of changing temperature
and changing gain in A, and A,), use step I to
adjust the input stage and step 2 for the output
stage. Carbon composition resistors are acceptable, but potentiometers should be stable.
Step I: Input stage trim (RA = Rc = 20kn, Rj = RB = 20Mn.
Rx = 100kn, RK = 00, R, disconnected); A, high, A2
low gain. Adjust R, for OV ±5mV or desired setting

ECG AMPLIFIER

In many modern electrocardiographic systems, the patient is
not grounded. Instead, the right-leg electrode is connected to
the output of an auxiliary operational amplifier as shown in
Figure 7. In this circuit, the common-mode voltage on the
body is sensed by the two averaging resistors, R, and R"
inverted, amplified, and fed back to the right-leg through
resistor R.. This negative feedback drives the commonmode voltage to a low value. The body's displacement
current id does not flow to ground, but rather to the output
circuit of A3. This reduces the pickup as far as the EeG
amplifier is concerned and effectively grounds the patient.

Although the features of the circuit shown in Figure 6 are
important in patient monitoring applications, they may also
be useful in other applications. The input circuitry uses an
external, low quiescent current op amp (OPAI77 type)
powered by the isolated power of the input stage to form a
high impedance instrumentation amplifier input (true threewire input). R3 and R4 give the input stage amplifier of the
3656 a noninverting gain of 10 and an inverting gain of -9.
R, and R, give the external amplifier a noninverting gain of
1 + 1/9. The inputs are applied to the noninverting inputs of
the two amplifiers and the composite input stage amplifier
has a gain of 10.
The 330W, 1W, carbon resistors and diodes D, - D4 provide
protection for the input amplifiers from defibrillation pulses.
The output stage in Figure 6 is configured to provide a
bandpass filter with a gain of 22.7 (68MOJ3Mn). The high-

stage amplifier. The low-pass section (lOOHz cutoff) is
formed by the 68Mn resistor and 22pF capacitor located in
the feedback loop of the output stage. The diodes provide for
quick recovery of the high-pass filter to overvoltages at the
input. The lOOW pot and the lOOMn resistor allow the

where V0 is the output voltage of A" and VCM is the
common-mode voltage between the inputs LA and RA and
the input common at pin 3 of the 3656.
This circuit has the added benefit of having higher commonmode rejection than the circuit in Figure 6 (approximately
10dB improvement).

BIPOLAR CURRENT OUTPUT
The three-port capability of the 3656 can be used to implement a current output isolation amplifier function-usually
difficult to implement when grounded loads are involved.
The circuit is shown in Figure 8 and the following equations
apply:

loUT

:s; ±2.5mA

be used to provide 15V for the pulse generator (pins 19 and
20). The input stage is configured as a unity gain buffer,
although other configurations such as current input could be
used. The circuit uses the isolation feature between the
output stage and the primary power supply to generate the
output current configuration that can work into a grounded
load. Note that the output transistors can only drive positive
current into the load. Bipolar current output would require
a second transistor and dual supply.

ISOLATED 4mA TO 20mA OUTPUT
Figure 10 shows the circuit of an expanded version of the
isolated current output function. It allows any input voltage
range to generate the 4mA to 20mA output excursion and is
also capable of zero suppression. The "span" (gain) is
adjusted by R2 and the "zero" (4mA output for minimum
input) is set by the 200kQ pot in the output stage. A threeterminal 5V reference is used to provide a stable 4mA
operating point. The reference is connected to insert an
adjustable bias between the demodulator output and the
noninverting input of the output stage.

A more practical version of the current output function is
shown in Figure 9. If the circuit is powered from a source
greater than 15V as shown, a three-terminal regulator should

the input stage is split into two halves, RF and RF-' The
demodulator load (seen by pin 10 with respect to pin 3) is
still 2MQ for the floating load as shown. Notice pin 19 is
common in Figure 11 whereas pin 20 is common in previous
figures.

SERIES STRING SOURCE
Figure 12 shows a situation where a small voltage, which is
part of a series string of other voltages, must be measured.
The basic problem is that the small voltage to be measured
is 500V above the system ground (i.e., a system commonmode voltage of 500V exists). The circuit converts this
system CMV to an amplifier isolation mode voltage. Thus,
the isolation voltage ratings and isolation-mode rejection
specifications apply.

IMPROVED INPUT CHARACTERISTICS
In situations where it is desired to have better DC input
amplifier characteristics than the 3656 normally provides, it
is possible to add a precision operational amplifier as shown

in Figure 13. Here the instrumentation grade OPAI77 is
supplied from the isolated power of the input stage. The
3656 is configured as a unity-gain buffer. The gain of the
OPAI77 stage must be chosen to limit its full scale output
voltage to 5V and avoid overdriving the 3656's demodulators. Since the 3656 draws a significant amount of supply
current, extra filtering or the input supply is required as
shown (2 X 0.471JF).

ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
The transformer coupling used in 3656 for isolation makes
the 3656 a source of electromagnetic radiation unless it is
properly shielded. Physical separation between the 3656 and
sensitive components may not give sufficient attenuation by
itself. In these applications, the use of an electromagnetic
shield is a must. A shield, Burr-Brown lOOMS, is specially
designed for use with the 3656 package. Note that the offset
voltage appearing at pin 15 may change by 4mV to 12mV
with use of the shield; however, this can be trimmed (see
Offset Trimming section).

6 Optical Sensors
Optical Electronic Integrated Sensors (OEICs)
combine the building blocks traditionally used in
a transimpedance amplifier on a single monolithic
die. The photodiode; low noise, low bias current
FET-input operational amplifier, and feedback
network are matched to optimize performance.
Our monolithic sensor/amplifier combinations free
designers from the tedious design rules necessary
to optimize responsivity and speed while maintaining stability and minimal gain peaking in discrete solutions. Other errors that are reduced by a
monolithic solution are leakage current errors and
noise.
Light falling on the photodiode section of the die
is converted to a current. The op amp is connected
as a transimpedance amplifier, converting the photodiode current into an output voltage which is
proportional to the intensity and wavelength of the
light.
Several models and package options are available
to allow flexibility in configuring light measurement systems. An external resistor can be placed

in series with the internal IMQ to increase
responsivity in all packages, or placed in parallel
to reduce the overall responsivity (in all packages
except the SIP).
OPTIOI-This device was designed to operate on
a single power supply of +2.7V to +36V, with a
quiescent current of only 120J.LA at dark. Response
peaks at 850nm with a response of O.6A1W.
OPT202-This is currently the fastest of BurrBrown's OEICs with a 50kHz signal bandwidth.
Available in clear plastic DIP and SIP packages,
as well as a hermetic ceramic DIP.
OPT209-This device is available in plastic DIP,
and will help to improve your signal-to-noise ratio
in systems not needing the full 50kHz bandwidth
of the OPT202.
OPT301-This OEIC is packaged in a hermetic
TO-99 package with a glass window, and is specified over the extended industrial temperature range
of -40°C to +85°C. Offering a hermetic package
and enhanced UV performance, the OPT301 has a
4kHz signal bandwidth.

Clear plastic does not contain the structural-enhancing fillers
used in black plastic molding compound. As a result, clear
plastic is more sensitive to environmental stress than black
plastic. This can cause difficulties if devices have been stored
in high humidity prior to soldering. The rapid heating during
soldering can stress wire bonds and cause failures. Prior to
soldering, it is recommended that plastic devices be baked-out
at 85°C for 24 hours.
The fire-retardant fillers used in black plastic are not compatible with clear molding compound. The 0PT202 plastic
packages cannot meet flammability test, UL-94.

the photodiode area is very large relative to the op amp input
circuitry making these effects negligible.
If your light source is focused to a small area, be sure that
it is properly aimed to fall on the photodiode. If a narrowly
focused light source were to miss the photodiode area and
fall only on the op amp circuitry, the OPT202 would not
perform properly. The large (0.090 X 0.090 inch) photodiode
area allows easy positioning of narrowly focused light sources.
The photodiode area is easily visible-it appears very dark
compared to the surrounding active circuitry.

The incident angle of the light source also affects the
apparent sensitivity in uniform irradiance. For small incident
angles, the loss in sensitivity is simply due to the smaller
effective light gathering area of the photodiode (proportional
to the cosine of the angle). At a greater incident angle, light
is diffused by the side of the package. These effects are
shown in the typical performance curve "Response vs Incident
Angle."

FIGURE 1. Basic Circuit Connections.

For RF > 1MQ

Photodiode current, 10 , is proportional to the radiant power
or flux (in watts) falling on the photodiode. Ata wavelength
of 650nm (visible red) the photodiode Responsivity, RI , is
approximately 0.45A1W. Responsivityat other wavelengths
is shown in the typical performance curve "Responsivity vs
Wavelength."

1750

The typical performance curve "Output Voltage vs Radiant
Power" shows· the response throughout a wide range of
radiant power. The response curve "OutPut Voltage vs
Irradiance" is based on the photodiode area of 5.23 x 1()-6m2.
The 0PT202' s voltage output is the product of the photodiode
current times the feedback resistor, (loRF). The internal
feedback resistor is laser trimmed to IMQ ±2%. Using this
resistor, the output voltage responsivity, R v, is approximately
0.45V/IlW at 650nm wavelength.
An external resistor can be connected to set a different
voltage responsivity. Best dynamic performance is achieved
by connecting REXT in series (for R., > IMQ), or in parallel
(for RF < IMQ), with the internal resistor as shown in
Figure 2. Placing the external resistor in parallel with the
internal resistor requires the DIP package. These connections
take advantage of on-chip capacitive guarding of the internal

of RF less than IMQ, an external capacitor, C EXT' should be
connected in parallel with RF (see Figure 2). This capacitor
eliminates gain peaking and prevents instability. The value
of CEXT can be read from the table in Figure 2.
LIGHT SOURCE POSITIONING

illuminates the full area of the integrated circuit, including
the op amp. Although all IC amplifiers are light-sensitive to

DARK ERRORS
The dark errors in the specification table include all sources.
The dominant error source is the input offset voltage of the
op amp. Photodiode dark current and input bias current of
the op amp are in the 2pA range and contribute virtually no
offset error at room temperature. Dark current and input bias
current double for each 10°C above 25°C. At 70°C, the error
current can be approximately 100pA. This would produce a
ImV offset with R F= lOMO. The OPT202 is useful with
feedback resistors of 100MO or greater at room temperature.
The dark output voltage can be trimmed to zero with the
optional circuit shown in Figure 3.
When used with very large feedback resistors, tiny leakage
currents on the circuit board can degrade the performance of
the 0PT202. Careful circuit board design and clean assembly
procedures will help achieve best performance. A "guard
ring" on the circuit board can help minimize leakage to the
critical non-inverting input (pin 2). This guard ring should
encircle pin 2 and connect to Common, pin 8.

simple RIC circuit with a -3dB cutoff frequency of 50kHz.
This yields a rise time of approximately 1O}JS (10% to 90%).
Dynamic response is not limited by op amp slew rate. This
is demonstrated by the dynamic response oscilloscope
photographs showing virtually identical large-signal and
small-signal response.
Dynamic response will vary with feedback resistor value as
shown in the typical performance curve "Voltage Output
Responsivity vs Frequency." Rise time (10% to 90%) will
vary according to the -3dB bandwidth produced by a given
feedback resistor value-(1)

where:
tR is the rise time (10% to 90%)
fc is the -3dB bandwidth

NOISE PERFORMANCE
Noise performance of the 0PT202 is deterruined by the op
amp characteristics in conjunction with the feedback
components and photodiode capacitance. The typical
performance curve "Output Noise Voltage vs Measurement
Bandwidth" shows how the noise varies with RF and measured
bandwidth (1Hz to the indicated frequency). The signal
bandwidth of the 0PT202 is indicated on the curves. Noise
can be reduced by filtering the output with a cutoff frequency
equal to the signal bandwidth.
•
Output noise increases in proportion to the square-root of th
feedback resistance, while responsivity increases linearly
with feedback resistance. So best signal-to-noise ratio is
achieved with large feedback resistance. This comes with
the trade-off of decreased bandwidth.
The noise performance of a photodetector is sometimes
characterized by Noise Effective Power (NEP). This is the
radiant power which would produce an output signal equal
to the noise level. NEP has the units of radiant power
(watts). The typical performance curve "Noise Effective
Power vs Measurement Bandwidth" shows how NEP vanes
with R" and measurement bandwidth.
