DESCRIPTION
current than competing products. System power may be
reduced further using the optional disable control pin.
Leaving this disable pin open, or holding it high, will
operate the OPA3680 normal. If pulled low, the
OPA3680 supply current drops to less than 300µA/ch
while the output goes into a high impedance state. This
feature may be used for either power savings or to
implement video MUX applications.
The OPA3680 represents a major step forward in
unity gain stable, voltage-feedback op amps. A new
internal architecture provides slew rate and full power
bandwidth previously found only in wideband current-feedback op amps. A new output stage architecture delivers high currents with a minimal headroom
requirement. These give exceptional single-supply
operation. Using a single +5V supply, the OPA3680
can deliver a 1V to 4V output swing with over 80mA
drive current and 150MHz bandwidth. This combination of features makes the OPA3680 an ideal RGB
line driver or single-supply ADC input driver.
The OPA3680’s low 6.4mA/ch supply current is precisely trimmed at 25°C. This trim, along with low
temperature drift, guarantees lower maximum supply

DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
Electrostatic discharge can cause damage ranging from performance degradation to complete device failure. Burr-Brown Corporation recommends that all integrated circuits be handled and stored
using appropriate ESD protection methods.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to
complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes
could cause the device not to meet published specifications.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
matches the 125Ω source resistance seen at the inverting
input (see the DC Accuracy and Offset Control section). In
addition to the usual power supply decoupling capacitors to
ground, a 0.1µF capacitor is included between the two power
supply pins. In practical PC board layouts, this optionaladded capacitor will typically improve the 2nd harmonic
distortion performance by 3dB to 6dB.
WIDEBAND VOLTAGE FEEDBACK OPERATION
The OPA3680 provides an exceptional combination of high
output power capability with a wideband, unity gain stable
voltage feedback op amp using a new high slew rate input
stage. Typical differential input stages used for voltage
feedback op amps are designed to steer a fixed-bias current
to the compensation capacitor, setting a limit to the achievable slew rate. The OPA3680 uses a new input stage which
places the transconductance element between two input
buffers, using their output currents as the forward signal. As
the error voltage increases across the two inputs, an increasing current is delivered to the compensation capacitor. This
provides very high slew rate (1800V/µs) while consuming
relatively low quiescent current (6.4mA). This exceptional
full power performance comes at the price of a slightly
higher input noise voltage than alternative architectures. The
4.8nV/√Hz input voltage noise for the OPA3680 is exceptionally low for this type of input stage.
Figure 2 shows the AC-coupled, gain of +2, single supply
circuit configuration which is the basis of the +5V Specifications and Typical Performance Curves. Though not a “railto-rail” design, the OPA3680 requires minimal input and
output voltage headroom compared to other very wideband
voltage feedback op amps. It will deliver a 3Vp-p output
swing on a single +5V supply with >150MHz bandwidth.
The key requirement of broadband single-supply operation is
to maintain input and output signal swings within the useable
voltage ranges at both the input and the output. The circuit
of Figure 2 establishes an input midpoint bias using a simple
resistive divider from the +5V supply (two 402Ω resistors).
The input signal is then AC-coupled into the midpoint
voltage bias. The input voltage can swing to within 1.5V of
either supply pin, giving a 2Vp-p input signal range centered
between the supply pins. The input impedance matching
resistor (68Ω) used for testing is adjusted to give a 50Ω input
load when the parallel combination of the biasing divider
network is included. Again, an additional resistor (50Ω in
this case) is included directly in series with the non-inverting
input. This minimum recommended value provides part of
the DC source resistance matching for the non-inverting
input bias current. It is also used to form a simple parasitic
pole to roll off the frequency response at very high frequencies (>500MHz) using the input parasitic capacitance to
form a bandlimiting pole. The gain resistor (RG) is ACcoupled, giving the circuit a DC gain of +1, which puts the
input DC bias voltage (2.5V) at the output as well. The
Figure 1 shows the DC-coupled, gain of +2, dual power
supply circuit configuration used as the basis of the ±5V
Specifications and Typical Performance Curves. For test
purposes, the input impedance is set to 50Ω with a resistor to
ground and the output impedance is set to 50Ω with a series
output resistor. Voltage swings reported in the specifications
are taken directly at the input and output pins, while output
powers (dBm) are at the matched 50Ω load. For the circuit of
Figure 1, the total effective load will be 100Ω || 498Ω. The
disable control line is typically left open to guarantee normal
amplifier operation. Two optional components are included
in Figure 1. An additional resistor (100Ω) is included in
series with the non-inverting input. Combined with the 25Ω
DC source resistance looking back towards the signal generator, this gives an input bias current cancelling resistance that

output voltage can swing to within 1V of either supply pin
while delivering >100mA output current. A demanding 100Ω
load to a midpoint bias is used in this characterization circuit.
The new output stage circuit used in the OPA3680 can
deliver large bipolar output currents into this midpoint load
with minimal crossover distortion, as shown in the ±5V
supply, Harmonic Distortion vs Supply Voltage plot.
Figure 4 shows an instrumentation differential amplifier
based on the OPA3680. This application benefits from the
OPA3680’s DC precision, common-mode rejection, high
impedance input and low current noise. The resistors on the
last (difference) amplifier were selected to keep the loads
equal on the input stage op amps. The matched loads and a
careful PC board layout can improve 2nd harmonic distortion at higher frequencies.
ANALOG DELAY LINE
The diagram on the front page of this data sheet shows an
analog delay line using the OPA3680. The first op amp
buffers the delay line from the source, and can be used to
establish the DC operating point if single +5V supply operation is desired. The last two sections provide an analog delay
function given by Equation 1:

where, f represents the frequency components of interest in
the input signal. For input frequencies below 0.39/2πτ =
2.5MHz the delay will be within 15% of the desired value
(2τ). The circuit on the front page gives a delay of 50ns per
stage for a total delay of 100ns. Excellent pulse fidelity will
be retained as long as the first 5 harmonics are delayed
equally. For the circuit shown on the front page, the 5th
harmonic should be ≤ 2.5MHz/5, which will support a square
wave up to 500kHz, with good pulse response. The input rise
and fall times also need to be ≥ 0.30/2.5MHz = 120ns in order
to keep the spectral energy within this 2.5MHz limit. Quicker
rise or fall times will cause propagation delay errors and
excessive pre-shoot.

BUFFERED 2 x 1 MULTIPLEXER
Using two of the three channels in an OPA3680 to select one
of two possible input signals, then using the 3rd to isolate the
summing point and drive the load, will give a very flexible,
wideband, multiplexing capability. Figure 5 shows one example of this where the two input stages have been set up for
a gain of +2.
Summing the two output signals together at the output stage
buffer’s non-inverting input through 400Ω resistors allows
excellent isolation between the two channels to be maintained. When one channel is operating, the other will see an
attenuated version of the active channel’s signal on its
inverting node. In this circuit, that signal is attenuated by
20dB at this inactive inverting input—this will keep the
swing low enough on the off channel to avoid parasitic turn
on at that input stage. The desired signal is attenuated by
0.6V/V due to this resistor divider, then recovered by the
gain set in the output stage.
The 1pF capacitors limit the noise, while maintaining good
pulse response. If desired, these two capacitors may be
removed for circuits that produce less delay.

and uses the 3rd to provide an input impedance buffering
and low output impedance over broad frequencies required
for proper operation. The interstage attenuator (resistive
divider into the last stage non-inverting input) shown in

MACROMODELS
Computer simulation of circuit performance 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. A
SPICE model for the OPA680 is available through either the
Burr-Brown Internet web page (http://www.burr-brown.com).
These models do a good job of predicting small-signal AC
and transient performance under a wide variety of operating
conditions. They do not do as well in predicting the harmonic distortion, temperature performance or dG/dφ characteristics. These models do not attempt to distinguish between the package types in their small-signal AC performance.

OPERATING SUGGESTIONS
tions. For example, by using a 250Ω feedback resistor along
with a 250Ω resistor across the two op amp inputs, the
voltage follower response will be similar to the gain of +2
response of Figure 2. Further reducing the value of the
resistor across the op amp inputs will further dampen the
frequency response due to increased noise gain.
OPTIMIZING RESISTOR VALUES
Since the OPA3680 is a unity-gain stable, voltage-feedback
op amp, a wide range of resistor values may be used for the
feedback and gain setting resistors. The primary limits on
these values are set by dynamic range (noise and distortion)
and parasitic capacitance considerations. For a non-inverting
unity gain follower application, the feedback connection
should be made with a 25Ω resistor, not a direct short. This
will isolate the inverting input capacitance from the output
pin and improve the frequency response flatness. Usually,
for G > 1 applications, the feedback resistor value should be
between 100Ω and 1.5kΩ. Below 100Ω, the feedback network will present additional output loading which can degrade the harmonic distortion performance of the OPA3680.
Above 1.5kΩ, the typical parasitic capacitance (approximately 0.2pF) across the feedback resistor may cause unintentional band-limiting in the amplifier response.
The OPA3680 exhibits minimal bandwidth reduction going
to single supply (+5V) operation as compared with ±5V.
This is because the internal bias control circuitry retains
nearly constant quiescent current as the total supply voltage
between the supply pins is changed.
INVERTING AMPLIFIER OPERATION
Since the OPA3680 is a general purpose, wideband voltage
feedback op amp, all of the familiar op amp application
circuits are available to the designer. Inverting operation is
one of the more common requirements and offers several
performance benefits. Figure 9 shows a typical inverting
configuration where the I/O impedances and signal gain
from Figure 1 are retained in an inverting circuit configuration.
A good rule of thumb is to target the parallel combination of
RF and RG (Figure 1) to be less than approximately 125Ω.
The combined impedance RF || RG interacts with the inverting input capacitance, placing an additional pole in the
feedback network and thus, a zero in the forward response.
Assuming a 3pF total parasitic on the inverting node, holding RF || RG < 125Ω will keep this pole above 400MHz. By
itself, this constraint implies that the feedback resistor RF
can increase to several kΩ at high gains. This is acceptable
as long as the pole formed by RF and any parasitic capacitance appearing in parallel with it is kept out of the frequency range of interest.

BANDWIDTH VS GAIN: NON-INVERTING OPERATION
Voltage-feedback op amps exhibit decreasing closed-loop
bandwidth as the signal gain is increased. In theory, this
relationship is described by the Gain Bandwidth Product
(GBP) shown in the specifications. Ideally, dividing GBP by
the non-inverting signal gain (also called the Noise Gain, or
NG) will predict the closed-loop bandwidth. In practice, this
only holds true when the phase margin approaches 90°, as it
does in high gain configurations. At low gains (increased
feedback factors), most amplifiers will exhibit a more complex response with lower phase margin. The OPA3680 is
compensated to give a slightly peaked response in a noninverting gain of 2 (Figure 1). This results in a typical gain
of +2 bandwidth of 220MHz, far exceeding that predicted by
dividing the 300MHz GBP by 2. Increasing the gain will
cause the phase margin to approach 90° and the bandwidth
to more closely approach the predicted value of (GBP/NG).
At a gain of +10, the 30MHz bandwidth shown in the
Typical Specifications agrees with that predicted using the
simple formula and the typical GBP of 300MHz.

FIGURE 9. Gain of –2 Example Circuit.
In the inverting configuration, three key design consideration must be noted. The first is that the gain resistor (RG)
becomes part of the signal channel input impedance. If input
impedance matching is desired (which is beneficial whenever the signal is coupled through a cable, twisted pair, long
PC board trace or other transmission line conductor), RG
may be set equal to the required termination value and RF
adjusted to give the desired gain. This is the simplest
approach and results in optimum bandwidth and noise performance. However, at low inverting gains, the resultant
feedback resistor value can present a significant load to the
amplifier output. For an inverting gain of 2, setting RG to
50Ω for input matching eliminates the need for RM but
requires a 100Ω feedback resistor. This has the interesting
Frequency response in a gain of +2 may be modified to
achieve exceptional flatness simply by increasing the noise
gain to 2.5. One way to do this, without affecting the +2
signal gain, is to add a 453Ω resistor across the two inputs
in the circuit of Figure 1. A similar technique may be used
to reduce peaking in unity gain (voltage follower) applica-

advantage that the noise gain becomes equal to 2 for a 50Ω
source impedance—the same as the non-inverting circuits
considered above. However, the amplifier output will now
see the 100Ω feedback resistor in parallel with the external
load. In general, the feedback resistor should be limited to
the 100Ω to 1.5kΩ range. In this case, it is preferable to
increase both the RF and RG values as shown in Figure 9 and
then achieve the input matching impedance with a third
resistor (RM) to ground. The total input impedance becomes
the parallel combination of RG and RM.
drive capabilities, noting that the graph is bounded by a
“Safe Operating Area” of 1W maximum internal power
dissipation for a single channel. Superimposing resistor load
lines onto the plot shows that the OPA3680 can drive ±2.5V
into 25Ω or ±3.5V into 50Ω without exceeding the output
capabilities or the 1W dissipation limit. A 100Ω load line
(the standard test circuit load) shows the full ±3.9V output
swing capability, as shown in the typical specifications.
The minimum specified output voltage and current specifications over temperature are set by worst-case simulations at
the cold temperature extreme. Only at cold startup will the
output current and voltage decrease to the numbers shown in
the guaranteed tables. As the output transistors deliver power,
their junction temperatures will increase, decreasing their
VBE’s (increasing the available output voltage swing) and
increasing their current gains (increasing the available output current). In steady-state operation, the available output
voltage and current will always be greater than that shown
in the over-temperature specifications since the output stage
junction temperatures will be higher than the minimum
specified operating ambient.
The second major consideration, touched on in the previous
paragraph, is that the signal source impedance becomes
part of the noise gain equation and hence influences the
bandwidth. For the example in Figure 9, the RM value
combines in parallel with the external 50Ω source impedance, yielding an effective driving impedance of 50Ω ||
84.5Ω = 31.4Ω. This impedance is added in series with RG
for calculating the noise gain (NG). The resultant NG is 2.6
for Figure 9, as opposed to only 2 if RM could be eliminated
as discussed above. The bandwidth will therefore be slightly
lower for the gain of –2 circuit of Figure 9 than for the gain
of +2 circuit of Figure 1.
To maintain maximum output stage linearity, no output
short-circuit protection is provided. This will not normally
be a problem since most applications include a series matching resistor at the output that will limit the internal power
dissipation if the output side of this resistor is shorted to
ground. However, shorting the output pin directly to the
adjacent positive power supply pins will, in most cases,
destroy the amplifier. If additional short-circuit protection
is required, consider a small series resistor in the power
supply leads. Under heavy output loads, this will reduce the
available output voltage swing. A 5Ω series resistor in each
power supply lead will limit the internal power dissipation to
less than 1W for an output short circuit while decreasing the
available output voltage swing only 0.5V for up to 100mA
desired load currents. Always place the 0.1µF power supply
decoupling capacitors after these supply current limiting
resistors directly on the supply pins.
The third important consideration in inverting amplifier
design is setting the bias current cancellation resistor on the
non-inverting input (RB). If this resistor is set equal to the
total DC resistance looking out of the inverting node, the
output DC error, due to the input bias currents, will be
reduced to (Input Offset Current) • RF. If the 50Ω source
impedance is DC-coupled in Figure 9, the total resistance to
ground on the inverting input will be 155Ω. Combining this
in parallel with the feedback resistor gives the RB = 95.6Ω
used in this example. To reduce the additional high frequency noise introduced by this resistor, it is sometimes
bypassed with a capacitor. As long as RB < 350Ω, the
capacitor is not required since the total noise contribution of
all other terms will be less than that of the op amp’s input
noise voltage. As a minimum, the OPA3680 requires an RB
value of 50Ω to damp out parasitic-induced peaking—a
direct short to ground on the non-inverting input runs the
risk of a very high frequency instability in the input stage.
DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS
One of the most demanding and yet very common load
conditions for an op amp is capacitive loading. Often, the
capacitive load is the input of an A/D converter—including
additional external capacitance which may be recommended
to improve A/D linearity. A high speed, high open-loop gain
amplifier like the OPA3680 can be very susceptible to
decreased stability and closed-loop response peaking when
a capacitive load is placed directly on the output pin. When
the amplifier’s open-loop output resistance is considered,
this capacitive load introduces an additional pole in the
signal path that can decrease the phase margin. Several
external solutions to this problem have been suggested.
When the primary considerations are frequency response
flatness, pulse response fidelity and/or distortion, the simplest and most effective solution is to isolate the capacitive
load from the feedback loop by inserting a series isolation
resistor between the amplifier output and the capacitive
load. This does not eliminate the pole from the loop
OUTPUT CURRENT AND VOLTAGE
The OPA3680 provides output voltage and current capabilities that are unsurpassed in a low cost monolithic op amp.
Under no-load conditions at +25°C, the output voltage
typically swings closer than 1V to either supply rail; the
guaranteed swing limit is within 1.2V of either rail. Into a
15Ω load (the minimum tested load), it is guaranteed to
deliver more than ±135mA.
The specifications described above, though familiar in the
industry, consider voltage and current limits separately. In
many applications, it is the voltage • current, or V-I product,
which is more relevant to circuit operation. Refer to the
“Output Voltage and Current Limitations” plot in the Typical Performance Curves. The X and Y axes of this graph
show the zero-voltage output current limit and the zerocurrent output voltage limit, respectively. The four quadrants give a more detailed view of the OPA3680’s output

The distortion plots show which changes in operation will
improve distortion. Increasing the load impedance improves
distortion directly. Remember that the total load includes the
feedback network; in the non-inverting configuration
(Figure 1) this is sum of RF + RG, while in the inverting
configuration (Figure 9), it is just RF. Also, providing an
additional supply decoupling capacitor (0.1µF) between the
supply pins (for bipolar operation) improves the 2nd-order
distortion slightly (3dB to 6dB).
response, but rather shifts it and adds a zero at a higher
frequency. The additional zero acts to cancel the phase lag
from the capacitive load pole, thus increasing the phase
margin and improving stability.
The Typical Performance Curves show the recommended
RS versus capacitive load and the resulting frequency response at the load. Parasitic capacitive loads greater than
2pF can begin to degrade the performance of the OPA3680.
Long PC board traces, unmatched cables, and connections
to multiple devices can easily exceed this value. Always
consider this effect carefully, and add the recommended
series resistor as close as possible to the OPA3680 output
pin (see Board Layout Guidelines).
In most op amps, increasing the output voltage swing increases intermodulation distortion directly. The new output
stage used in the OPA3680 actually holds the difference
between fundamental power and the 3rd-order
intermodulation powers relatively constant with increasing
output power until very large output swings are required
(> 4Vp-p). The 3rd-order spurious levels are extremely low
at low output power levels. The output stage continues to
hold them low even as the fundamental power reaches very
high levels. As the Typical Performance Curves show, the
spurious intermodulation powers do not increase as predicted by a traditional intercept model. As the fundamental
power level increases, the dynamic range does not decrease
significantly. For 2 tones centered at 20MHz, with 10dBm/
tone into a matched 50Ω load (i.e., 2Vp-p for each tone at
the load, which requires 8Vp-p for the overall two-tone
envelope at the output pin), the Typical Performance Curves
show 57dBc difference between the test tone powers and the
3rd-order intermodulation spurious powers. This exceptional performance improves further when operating at lower
frequencies.
The criterion for setting this RS resistor is a maximum
bandwidth, flat frequency response at the load. For the
OPA3680 operating in a gain of +2, the frequency response
at the output pin is already slightly peaked without the
capacitive load requiring relatively high values of RS to
flatten the response at the load. Increasing the noise gain
will reduce the peaking as described previously. The circuit
of Figure 10 demonstrates this technique, allowing lower
values of RS to be used for a given capacitive load. This was
used to generate the Recommended RS versus Capacitive
Load plots.

High slew rate, unity gain stable, voltage feedback op amps
usually achieve their slew rate at the expense of a higher

This gain of +2 circuit includes a noise gain tuning resistor

the unloaded phase margin for the op amp. Although this
technique will reduce the required RS resistor for a given
capacitive load, it does increase the noise at the output. It
also will decrease the loop gain, slightly decreasing the
distortion performance. If, however, the dominant distortion
mechanism arises from a high RS value, significant dynamic
range improvement can be achieved using this technique.

A fine scale output offset null, or DC operating point
adjustment, is often required. Numerous techniques are
available for introducing DC offset control into an op amp
circuit. Most of these techniques eventually reduce to adding
a DC current through the feedback resistor. In selecting an
offset trim method, one key consideration is the impact on
the desired signal path frequency response. If the signal path
is intended to be non-inverting, the offset control is best
applied as an inverting summing signal to avoid interaction
with the signal source. If the signal path is intended to be
inverting, applying the offset control to the non-inverting
input may be considered. However, the DC offset voltage on
the summing junction will set up a DC current back into the
source which must be considered. Applying an offset adjustment to the inverting op amp input can change the noise gain
and frequency response flatness. For a DC-coupled inverting
amplifier, Figure 12 shows one example of an offset adjustment technique that has minimal impact on the signal frequency response. In this case, the DC offsetting current is
brought into the inverting input node through resistor values
that are much larger than the signal path resistors. This will
insure that the adjustment circuit has minimal effect on the
loop gain and hence the frequency response.

Evaluating these two equations for the OPA3680 circuit and
component values shown in Figure 1 will give a total output
spot noise voltage of 11nV/√Hz and a total equivalent input
spot noise voltage of 5.5nV/√Hz. This is including the noise
added by the bias current cancellation resistor (100Ω) on the
non-inverting input. This total input-referred spot noise
voltage is only slightly higher than the 4.8nV/√Hz specification for the op amp voltage noise alone. This will be the case
as long as the impedances appearing at each op amp input
are limited to the previously recommend maximum value of
125Ω. Keeping both (RF || RG) and the non-inverting input
source impedance less than 125Ω will satisfy both noise and
frequency response flatness considerations. Since the resistor-induced noise is relatively negligible, additional capacitive decoupling across the bias current cancellation resistor
(RB) for the inverting op amp configuration of Figure 9 is not
required.

DC ACCURACY AND OFFSET CONTROL
The balanced input stage of a wideband voltage feedback op
amp allows good output DC accuracy in a wide variety of
applications. The power supply current trim for the OPA3680
gives even tighter control than comparable products. Although the high speed input stage does require relatively
high input bias current (typically 14µA out of each input
terminal), the close matching between them may be used to
reduce the output DC error caused by this current. The total
output offset voltage may be considerably reduced by matching the DC source resistances appearing at the two inputs.
This reduces the output DC error due to the input bias
currents to the offset current times the feedback resistor.

DISABLE OPERATION
The transition edge rate (dv/dt) of the DIS control line will
influence this glitch. For the plot of Figure 14, the edge rate
was reduced until no further reduction in glitch amplitude
was observed. This approximately 1V/ns maximum slew
rate may be achieved by adding a simple RC filter into the
DIS pin from a higher speed logic line. If extremely fast
transition logic is used, a 1kΩ series resistor between the
logic gate and the DIS input pin will provide adequate
bandlimiting using just the parasitic input capacitance on the
DIS pin while still ensuring adequate logic level swing.
The OPA3680 provides an optional disable feature on each
channel that may be used either to reduce system power or to
impleme nt a simple channel multiplexing operation. If the DIS
control pin of each channel is left unconnected, the OPA3680
will operate normally. To disable, the control pin must be
asserted LOW. Figure 13 shows a simplified internal circuit for
the disable control feature available on each channel.

In normal operation, base current to Q1 is provided through
the 110kΩ resistor, while the emitter current through the
15kΩ resistor sets up a voltage drop that is inadequate to turn
on the two diodes in Q1’s emitter. As VDIS is pulled LOW,
additional current is pulled through the 15kΩ resistor eventually turning on those two diodes (≈100uA). At this point,
any further current pulled out of VDIS goes through those
diodes holding the emitter-base voltage of Q1 at approximately zero volts. This shuts off the collector current out of
Q1, turning the amplifier off. The supply current in the
disable mode are only those required to operate the circuit of
Figure 13. Additional circuitry ensures that turn-on time
occurs faster than turn-off time (make-before-break).
THERMAL ANALYSIS
Due to the high output power capability of the OPA3680,
heatsinking or forced airflow may be required under extreme
operating conditions. Maximum desired junction temperature will set the maximum allowed internal power dissipation as described below. In no case should the maximum
junction temperature be allowed to exceed 175°C.
Operating junction temperature (TJ) is given by TA + PD•θJA.
The total internal power dissipation (PD) is the sum of
quiescent power (PDQ) and additional power dissipated in
the output stage (PDL) to deliver load power. Quiescent
power is simply the specified no-load supply current times
the total supply voltage across the part. PDL will depend on
the required output signal and load but would, for a grounded
resistive load, be at a maximum when the output is fixed at
a voltage equal to 1/2 of either supply voltage (for equal
bipolar supplies). Under this condition, PDL = VS2/(4•RL)
where RL includes feedback network loading.
When disabled, the output and input nodes go to a high
impedance state. If the OPA3680 is operating in a gain of +1,
this will show a very high impedance at the output and
exceptional signal isolation. If operating at a gain greater than
+1, the total feedback network resistance (RF + RG) will
appear as the impedance looking back into the output, but the
circuit will still show very high forward and reverse isolation.
If configured as an inverting amplifier, the input and output
will be connected through the feedback network resistance (RF
+ RG) and the isolation will be very poor as a result.
Note that it is the power in the output stage and not into the
load that determines internal power dissipation.
As a worst-case example, compute the maximum TJ using an
OPA3680E in the circuit of Figure 1 operating at the
maximum specified ambient temperature of +85°C and
driving a grounded 100Ω load.
One key parameter in disable operation is the output glitch
when switching in and out of the disabled mode. Figure 14
shows these glitches for the circuit of Figure 1 with the input
signal at 0V. The glitch waveform at the output pin is plotted
along with the DIS pin voltage.
PD = 10V•21mA + 3•[52/(4•(100Ω || 500Ω))] = 435mW

OPA3680
This worst-case condition is still well within rated maximum
TJ for this 100Ω load. Heavier loads may, however, exceed
the 175°C maximum junction temperature rating. Careful
attention to internal power dissipation is required and perhaps airflow considered under extreme conditions.
tors, excessively high resistor values can create significant
time constants that can degrade performance. Good axial
metal film or surface-mount resistors have approximately
0.2pF in shunt with the resistor. For resistor values > 1.5kΩ,
this parasitic capacitance can add a pole and/or zero below
500MHz that can effect circuit operation. Keep resistor
values as low as possible consistent with load driving considerations. The 250Ω feedback used in the typical performance specifications is a good starting point for design.
Note that a 25Ω feedback resistor, rather than a direct short,
is suggested for the unity gain follower application. This
effectively isolates the inverting input capacitance from the
output pin that would otherwise cause an additional peaking
in the gain of +1 frequency response.
BOARD LAYOUT GUIDELINES
Achieving optimum performance with a high frequency
amplifier like the OPA3680 requires careful attention to
board layout parasitics and external component types. Recommendations that will optimize performance include:
a) Minimize parasitic capacitance to any AC ground for all
of the signal I/O pins. Parasitic capacitance on the output and
inverting input pins can cause instability: on the non-inverting input, it can react with the source impedance to cause
unintentional bandlimiting. To reduce unwanted capacitance,
a window around the signal I/O pins should be opened in all
of the ground and power planes around those pins. Otherwise, ground and power planes should be unbroken elsewhere on the board.
d) Connections to other wideband devices on the board
may be made with short direct traces or through on-board
transmission lines. For short connections, consider the trace
and the input to the next device as a lumped capacitive load.
Relatively wide traces (50 to 100mils) should be used,
preferably with ground and power planes opened up around
them. Estimate the total capacitive load and set RS from the
plot of Recommended RS vs Capacitive Load. Low parasitic
capacitive loads (< 5pF) may not need an RS since the
OPA3680 is nominally compensated to operate with a 2pF
parasitic load. Higher parasitic capacitive loads without an
RS are allowed as the signal gain increases (increasing the
unloaded phase margin) If a long trace is required, and the
6dB signal loss intrinsic to a doubly terminated transmission
line is acceptable, implement a matched impedance transmission line using microstrip or stripline techniques (consult
an ECL design handbook for microstrip and stripline layout
techniques). A 50Ω environment is normally not necessary
on board, and in fact, a higher impedance environment will
improve distortion as shown in the distortion versus load
plots. With a characteristic board trace impedance defined
(based on board material and trace dimensions), a matching
series resistor into the trace from the output of the OPA3680
is used as well as a terminating shunt resistor at the input of
the destination device. Remember also that the terminating
impedance will be the parallel combination of the shunt
resistor and the input impedance of the destination device;
this total effective impedance should be set to match the
trace impedance. The high output voltage and current capability of the OPA3680 allows multiple destination devices to
be handled as separate transmission lines, each with their
own series and shunt terminations. If the 6dB attenuation of
a doubly terminated transmission line is unacceptable, a
long trace can be series-terminated at the source end only.
Treat the trace as a capacitive load in this case and set the
series resistor value as shown in the plot of Recommended
RS vs Capacitive Load. This will not preserve signal integrity as well as a doubly terminated line. If the input impedance of the destination device is low, there will be some
signal attenuation due to the voltage divider formed by the
series output into the terminating impedance.
b) Minimize the distance (< 0.25") from the power supply
pins to high frequency 0.1µF decoupling capacitors. At the
device pins, the ground and power plane layout should not be
in close proximity to the signal I/O pins. Avoid narrow
power and ground traces to minimize inductance between
the pins and the decoupling capacitors. The power supply
connections should always be decoupled with these capacitors. An optional supply decoupling capacitor (0.1µF) across
the two power supplies (for bipolar operation) will improve
2nd harmonic distortion performance. Larger (2.2µF to 6.8µF)
decoupling capacitors, effective at lower frequency, should
also be used on the main supply pins. These may be placed
somewhat farther from the device and may be shared among
several devices in the same area of the PC board.
c) Careful selection and placement of external components will preserve the high frequency performance of
the OPA3680. Resistors should be a very low reactance
type. Surface-mount resistors work best and allow a tighter
overall layout. Metal film or carbon composition axiallyleaded resistors can also provide good high frequency performance. Again, keep their leads and PC board traces as
short as possible. Never use wirewound type resistors in a
high frequency application. Since the output pin and inverting input pin are the most sensitive to parasitic capacitance,
always position the feedback and series output resistor, if
any, as close as possible to the output pin. Other network
components, such as non-inverting input termination resistors, should also be placed close to the package. Where
double-side component mounting is allowed, place the feedback resistor directly under the package on the other side of
the board between the output and inverting input pins. Even
with a low parasitic capacitance shunting the external resis-

The OPA3680 is built using a very high speed complementary bipolar process. The internal junction breakdown voltages are relatively low for these very small geometry devices.

These diodes provide moderate protection to input overdrive
voltages above the supplies as well. The protection diodes
can typically support 30mA continuous current. Where higher
currents are possible (e.g., in systems with ±15V supply
parts driving into the OPA3680), current-limiting series
resistors should be added into the two inputs. Keep these
resistor values as low as possible since high values degrade
both noise performance and frequency response.
