2 Applications
Unlike most op amps that are specified at only one
supply voltage, the OPA1688 is specified from 4.5 V
to 36 V. Input signals beyond the supply rails do not
cause phase reversal. The input can operate 100 mV
below the negative rail and within 2 V of the top rail
during normal operation. Note that this device can
operate with full rail-to-rail input 100 mV beyond the
top rail, but with reduced performance within 2 V of
the top rail.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 EMI Rejection
The OPA1688 uses integrated electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering to reduce the effects of EMI from
sources such as wireless communications and densely-populated boards with a mix of analog signal chain and
digital components. EMI immunity can be improved with circuit design techniques; the OPA1688 benefits from
these design improvements. Texas Instruments has developed the ability to accurately measure and quantify the
immunity of an operational amplifier over a broad frequency spectrum extending from 10 MHz to 6 GHz. Figure
8-1 shows the results of this testing on the OPA1688. Table 8-1 shows the EMIRR IN+ values for the OPA1688
at particular frequencies commonly encountered in real-world applications. Applications listed in Table 8-1 can
be centered on or operated near the particular frequency shown. Detailed information can also be found in the
EMI Rejection Ratio of Operational Amplifiers application report, available for download from www.ti.com.

8.3.2 Phase-Reversal Protection
The OPA1688 has internal phase-reversal protection. Many op amps exhibit phase reversal when the input is
driven beyond the linear common-mode range. This condition is most often encountered in noninverting circuits
when the input is driven beyond the specified common-mode voltage range, causing the output to reverse into
the opposite rail. The input of the OPA1688 prevents phase reversal with excessive common-mode voltage.
Instead, the appropriate rail limits the output voltage. Figure 8-2 shows this performance.

Figure 8-2. No Phase Reversal
8.3.3 Capacitive Load and Stability
The dynamic characteristics of the OPA1688 are optimized for commonly-used operating conditions. The
combination of low closed-loop gain and high capacitive loads decreases the phase margin of the amplifier
and may lead to gain peaking or oscillations. As a result, heavier capacitive loads must be isolated from the
output. The simplest way to achieve this isolation is to add a small resistor (for example, ROUT = 50 Ω) in series
with the output. Figure 8-3 and Figure 8-4 show graphs of small-signal overshoot versus capacitive load for
several values of ROUT; see the Feedback Plots Define Op Amp AC Performance application bulletin, available
for download from www.ti.com, for details of analysis techniques and application circuits.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Common-Mode Voltage Range
The input common-mode voltage range of the OPA1688 extends 100 mV below the negative rail and within 2 V
of the top rail for normal operation.
This device can operate with full rail-to-rail input 100 mV beyond the top rail, but with reduced performance
within 2 V of the top rail. Table 8-2 summarizes the typical performance in this range.

8.4.2 Electrical Overstress
Designers often ask questions about the capability of an operational amplifier to withstand electrical overstress.
These questions tend to focus on the device inputs, but can involve the supply voltage pins or even the output
pin. Each of these different pin functions have electrical stress limits determined by the voltage breakdown
characteristics of the particular semiconductor fabrication process and specific circuits connected to the pin.
Additionally, internal electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is built into these circuits to protect them from
accidental ESD events both before and during product assembly.
A good understanding of this basic ESD circuitry and its relevance to an electrical overstress event is helpful.
Figure 8-5 illustrates the ESD circuits contained in the OPA1688 (indicated by the dashed line area). The ESD
protection circuitry involves several current-steering diodes connected from the input and output pins and routed
back to the internal power-supply lines, where the diodes meet at an absorption device internal to the operational
amplifier. This protection circuitry is intended to remain inactive during normal circuit operation.

Figure 8-5. Equivalent Internal ESD Circuitry Relative to a Typical Circuit Application
An ESD event produces a short-duration, high-voltage pulse that is transformed into a short-duration, highcurrent pulse when discharging through a semiconductor device. The ESD protection circuits are designed to
provide a current path around the operational amplifier core to prevent damage. The energy absorbed by the
protection circuitry is then dissipated as heat.
When an ESD voltage develops across two or more amplifier device pins, current flows through one or
more steering diodes. Depending on the path that the current takes, the absorption device can activate. The
absorption device has a trigger, or threshold voltage, that is above the normal operating voltage of the OPA1688
but below the device breakdown voltage level. When this threshold is exceeded, the absorption device quickly
activates and clamps the voltage across the supply rails to a safe level.
When the operational amplifier connects into a circuit (Figure 8-5), the ESD protection components are intended
to remain inactive and do not become involved in the application circuit operation. However, circumstances may
arise where an applied voltage exceeds the operating voltage range of a given pin. If this condition occurs, there
is a risk that some internal ESD protection circuits can turn on and conduct current. Any such current flow occurs
through steering-diode paths and rarely involves the absorption device.
Figure 8-5 shows a specific example where the input voltage (VIN) exceeds the positive supply voltage (+VS)
by 500 mV or more. Much of what happens in the circuit depends on the supply characteristics. If +VS can
sink the current, one of the upper input steering diodes conducts and directs current to +VS. Excessively high
current levels can flow with increasingly higher VIN. As a result, the data sheet specifications recommend that
applications limit the input current to 10 mA.
If the supply is not capable of sinking the current, VIN can begin sourcing current to the operational amplifier and
then take over as the source of positive supply voltage. The danger in this case is that the voltage can rise to
levels that exceed the operational amplifier absolute maximum ratings.

SBOS724A – SEPTEMBER 2015 – REVISED JUNE 2022
Another common question involves what happens to the amplifier if an input signal is applied to the input when
the power supplies (+VS or –VS) are at 0 V. Again, this question depends on the supply characteristic when at
0 V, or at a level below the input-signal amplitude. If the supplies appear as high impedance, then the input
source supplies the operational amplifier current through the current-steering diodes. This state is not a normal
bias condition; most likely, the amplifier will not operate normally. If the supplies are low impedance, then the
current through the steering diodes can become quite high. The current level depends on the ability of the input
source to deliver current, and any resistance in the input path.
If there is any uncertainty about the ability of the supply to absorb this current, add external zener diodes to the
supply pins; see Figure 8-5. Select the zener voltage so that the diode does not turn on during normal operation.
However, the zener voltage must be low enough so that the zener diode conducts if the supply pin begins to rise
above the safe-operating, supply-voltage level.
The OPA1688 input pins are protected from excessive differential voltage with back-to-back diodes; see Figure
8-5. In most circuit applications, the input protection circuitry has no effect. However, in low-gain or G = 1 circuits,
fast-ramping input signals can forward-bias these diodes because the output of the amplifier cannot respond
rapidly enough to the input ramp. If the input signal is fast enough to create this forward-bias condition, limit the
input signal current to 10 mA or less. If the input signal current is not inherently limited, an input series resistor
can be used to limit the input signal current. This input series resistor degrades the low-noise performance of the
OPA1688. Figure 8-5 illustrates an example configuration that implements a current-limiting feedback resistor.
8.4.3 Overload Recovery
Overload recovery is defined as the time required for the op amp output to recover from the saturated state to
the linear state. The output devices of the op amp enter the saturation region when the output voltage exceeds
the rated operating voltage, either resulting from the high input voltage or the high gain. After the device enters
the saturation region, the charge carriers in the output devices need time to return back to the normal state. After
the charge carriers return back to the equilibrium state, the device begins to slew at the normal slew rate. Thus,
the propagation delay in case of an overload condition is the sum of the overload recovery time and the slew
time. The overload recovery time for the OPA1688 is approximately 200 ns.

9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The OPA1688 offers an excellent combination of specifications for headphone amplifier circuits (such as low
noise, low distortion, capacitive load stability, and relatively high output current). Furthermore, the low-power
supply current and small package options make the OPA1688 an excellent choice for headphone amplifiers
in portable devices. A common headphone amplifier circuit for audio digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with
differential voltage outputs is illustrated in Figure 9-1. This circuit converts the differential voltage output of
the DAC to a single-ended, ground-referenced signal and provides the additional current necessary for lowimpedance headphones. For R2 = R4 and R1 = R3, the output voltage of the circuit is given by Equation 1:
VOUT = 2 u VAC
R2
R 1 + R OUT
(1)
where
•
•
ROUT is the output impedance of the DAC
2 × VAC is the unloaded differential output voltage
The output voltage required for headphones depends on the headphone impedance as well as the headphone
efficiency. Both values can be provided by the headphone manufacturer, with headphone efficiency usually given
as a sound pressure level (SPL) produced with 1 mW of input power and denoted by the Greek letter η. The SPL
at other input power levels can be calculated from the efficiency specification using Equation 2:
§ P

SPL (dB) K 10 log ¨ IN ¸

At extremely high power levels, the accuracy of this calculation decreases as a result of secondary effects in the
headphone drivers. Figure 9-2 allows the SPL produced by a pair of headphones of a known sensitivity to be
estimated for a given input power.

For example, a pair of headphones with a 95-dB/mW sensitivity given a 3-mW input signal produces a 100-dB
SPL. If these headphones have a nominal impedance of 32 Ω, then Equation 3 and Equation 4 describe the
voltage and current from the headphone amplifier, respectively:

Headphones can present a capacitive load at high frequencies that can destabilize the headphone amplifier
circuit. Many headphone amplifiers use a resistor in series with the output to maintain stability; however this
solution also compromises audio quality. The OPA1688 is able to maintain stability into large capacitive loads;
therefore, a series output resistor is not necessary in the headphone amplifier circuit. TINA-TI™ simulations
illustrate that the circuit in Figure 9-1 has a phase margin of approximately 50° with a 400-pF load connected
directly to the amplifier output.
9.2.1.3 Application Curves
The headphone amplifier circuit in Figure 9-1 is tested with three common headphone impedances: 16 Ω, 32 Ω,
and 600 Ω. The total harmonic distortion and noise (THD+N) for increasing output voltages is given in Figure
9-3. This measurement is performed with a 1-kHz input signal and a measurement bandwidth of 22.4 kHz. The
maximum output power and THD+N before clipping are given in Table 9-1. The maximum output power into
low-impedance headphones is limited by the output current capabilities of the amplifier. For high-impedance
headphones (600 Ω), the output voltage capabilities of the amplifier are the limiting factor. The circuit in Figure
9-1 is tested using ±5-V supplies that are common in many portable systems. However, using higher supply
voltages increases the output power into 600-Ω headphones.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The OPA1688 is specified for operation from 4.5 V to 36 V (±2.25 V to ±18 V); many specifications apply from
–40°C to +85°C. Parameters that can exhibit significant variance with regard to operating voltage or temperature
are presented in Section 7.6.
CAUTION
Supply voltages larger than 40 V can permanently damage the device; see also Section 7.1.
Place 0.1-μF bypass capacitors close to the power-supply pins to reduce errors coupling in from noisy or
high-impedance power supplies. For more detailed information on bypass capacitor placement, see also Section
11.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
For best operational performance of the device, use good printed circuit board (PCB) layout practices, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Noise can propagate into analog circuitry through the power pins of the circuit as a whole and the op amp
itself. Bypass capacitors are used to reduce the coupled noise by providing low-impedance power sources
local to the analog circuitry.
– Connect low-ESR, 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitors between each supply pin and ground, placed as
close to the device as possible. A single bypass capacitor from V+ to ground is applicable for singlesupply applications.
Separate grounding for analog and digital portions of circuitry is one of the simplest and most-effective
methods of noise suppression. One or more layers on multilayer PCBs are usually devoted to ground planes.
A ground plane helps distribute heat and reduces EMI noise pickup. Make sure to physically separate digital
and analog grounds, paying attention to the flow of the ground current.
In order to reduce parasitic coupling, run the input traces as far away from the supply or output traces as
possible. If these traces cannot be kept separate, crossing the sensitive trace perpendicularly is much better
than in parallel with the noisy trace.
Place the external components as close to the device as possible. Figure 11-1 illustrates how keeping RF
and RG close to the inverting input minimizes parasitic capacitance.
Keep the length of input traces as short as possible. Always remember that the input traces are the most
sensitive part of the circuit.
Consider a driven, low-impedance guard ring around the critical traces. A guard ring can significantly reduce
leakage currents from nearby traces that are at different potentials.
