The OPA381 features an offset voltage of 25µV (max), offset drift of 0.1µV/°C (max), and bias current of 3pA. The OPA381 far exceeds the offset, drift, and noise performance that conventional JFET op amps provide. The signal bandwidth of a transimpedance amplifier depends largely on the GBW of the amplifier and the parasitic capacitance of the photodiode, as well as the feedback resistor. The 18MHz GBW of the OPA381 enables a transimpedance bandwidth of > 250kHz in most configurations. The OPA381 is ideally suited for fast control loops for power level measurement on an optical fiber. As a result of the high precision and low-noise characteristics of the OPA381, a dynamic range of 5 decades can be achieved. This capability allows the measurement of signal currents on the order of 10nA, and up to 1mA in a single I/V conversion stage. In contrast to logarithmic amplifiers, the OPA381 provides very wide bandwidth throughout the full dynamic range. By using an external pulldown resistor to –5V, the output voltage range can be extended to include 0V. The OPA381 and OPA2381 are both available in MSOP-8 and DFN-8 (3mm x 3mm) packages. They are specified from –40°C to +125°C.

Due to its unique architecture, the OPA381 has excellent long-term input voltage offset stability. The OPA381 performance results from an internal auto-zero amplifier combined with a high-speed amplifier. The OPA381 has been designed with circuitry to improve overload recovery and settling time over that achieved by a traditional composite approach. It has been specifically designed and characterized to accommodate circuit options to allow 0V output operation (see Figure 3). The OPA381 is used in inverting configurations, with the noninverting input used as a fixed biasing point. Figure 1 shows the OPA381 in a typical configuration. Power-supply pins should be bypassed with 1µF ceramic or tantalum capacitors. Electrolytic capacitors are not recommended. OPERATING VOLTAGE OPA381 series op amps are fully specified from 2.7V to 5.5V over a temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. Parameters that vary significantly with operating voltages or temperature are shown in the Typical Characteristics. INTERNAL OFFSET CORRECTION The OPA381 series op amps use an auto-zero topology with a time-continuous 18MHz op amp in the signal path. This amplifier is zero-corrected every 100µs using a proprietary technique. Upon power-up, the amplifier requires approximately 400µs to achieve specified VOS accuracy, which includes one full auto-zero cycle of approximately 100µs and the start-up time for the bias circuitry. Prior to this time, the amplifier will function properly but with unspecified offset voltage. This design has virtually no aliasing and low noise. Zero correction occurs at a 10kHz rate, but there is virtually no fundamental noise energy present at that frequency due to internal filtering. For all practical purposes, any glitches have energy at 20MHz or higher and are easily filtered, if necessary. Most applications are not sensitive to such high-frequency noise, and no filtering is required. CF RF +5V 1µ F INPUT VOLTAGE The input common-mode voltage range of the OPA381 series extends from V− to (V+) –1.8V. With input signals above this common-mode range, the amplifier will no longer provide a valid output value, but it will not latch or invert. λ OPA381 VOUT(1) (0.5V to 4.4V) VBIAS = 0.5V INPUT OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION NOTE: (1) VOUT = 0.5V in dark conditions. Figure 1. OPA381 Typical Configuration Device inputs are protected by ESD diodes that will conduct if the input voltages exceed the power supplies by more than approximately 500mV. Momentary voltages greater than 500mV beyond the power supply can be tolerated if the current is limited to 10mA. The OPA381 family features no phase inversion when the inputs extend beyond supplies if the input is current limited. 8 www.ti.com OPA381 OPA2381 SBOS313B − AUGUST 2004 − REVISED NOVEMBER 2004 OUTPUT RANGE The OPA381 is specified to swing within at least 600mV of the positive rail and 50mV of the negative rail with a 10kΩ load while maintaining good linearity. Swing to the negative rail while maintaining linearity can be extended to 0V—see the section, Achieving Output Swing to Ground. See the Typical Characteristic curve, Output Voltage Swing vs Output Current. The OPA381 can swing slightly closer than specified to the positive rail; however, linearity will decrease and a high-speed overload recovery clamp limits the amount of positive output voltage swing available—see Figure 2. ACHIEVING OUTPUT SWING TO GROUND Some applications require output voltage swing from 0V to a positive full-scale voltage (such as +4.096V) with excellent accuracy. With most single-supply op amps, problems arise when the output signal approaches 0V, near the lower output swing limit of a single-supply op amp. A good single-supply op amp may swing close to single-supply ground, but will not reach 0V. The output of the OPA381 can be made to swing to 0V, or slightly below, on a single-supply power source. This extended output swing requires the use of another resistor and an additional negative power supply. A pulldown resistor may be connected between the output and the negative supply to pull the output down to 0V; see Figure 3. 25 20 15 10 VOS (µV) 5 0 −5 λ RF VS = 5.5V V+ = +5V − 10 − 15 − 20 − 25 −1 0 1 2 3 OPA381 R P = 10kΩ to − 5V R L = 10kΩ to VS/2 4 5 6 RP = − VS 500µA V− = Gnd VOUT R P = 10kΩ VOUT (V) − VS = − 5V Negative Supply Figure 2. Effect of High-Speed Overload Recovery Clamp on Output Voltage OVERLOAD RECOVERY The OPA381 has been designed to prevent output saturation. After being overdriven to the positive rail, it will typically require only 200ns to return to linear operation. The time required for negative overload recovery is greater, unless a pulldown resistor connected to a more negative supply is used to extend the output swing all the way to the negative rail—see the following section, Achieving Output Swing to Ground. Figure 3. Amplifier with Pull-Down Resistor to Achieve VOUT = 0V The OPA381 has an output stage that allows the output voltage to be pulled to its negative supply rail using this technique. However, this technique only works with some types of output stages. The OPA381 has been designed to perform well with this method. Accuracy is excellent down to 0V. Reliable operation is assured over the specified temperature range. 9 OPA381 OPA2381 SBOS313B − AUGUST 2004 − REVISED NOVEMBER 2004 www.ti.com BIASING PHOTODIODES IN SINGLE-SUPPLY CIRCUITS The +IN input can be biased with a positive DC voltage to offset the output voltage and allow the amplifier output to indicate a true zero photodiode measurement when the photodiode is not exposed to any light. It will also prevent the added delay that results from coming out of the negative rail. This bias voltage appears across the photodiode, providing a reverse bias for faster operation. An RC filter placed at this bias point will reduce noise. (Refer to Figure 4.) This bias voltage can also serve as an offset bias point for an ADC with range that does not include ground. D the desired transimpedance gain (RF); D the Gain Bandwidth Product (GBW) for the OPA381 (18MHz). With these three variables set, the feedback capacitor value (CF) can be set to control the frequency response. CSTRAY is the stray capacitance of RF, which is 0.2pF for a typical surface-mount resistor. To achieve a maximally flat 2nd-order Butterworth frequency response, the feedback pole should be set to: 1 + 2pR F CF ) CSTRAY GBW 4pR FC TOT (1) Bandwidth is calculated by: CF(1) < 1pF f *3dB + GBW Hz 2pRFC TOT (2) RF 10MΩ V+ λ ID These equations will result in maximum transimpedance bandwidth. For even higher transimpedance bandwidth, the high-speed CMOS OPA380 (90MHz GBW), the OPA300 (150MHz GBW), or the OPA656 (230MHz GBW) may be used.

Photodiode with Filtered Reverse Bias Voltage CSTRAY(2) TRANSIMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER Wide bandwidth, low input bias current and low input voltage and current noise make the OPA381 an ideal wideband photodiode transimpedance amplifier. Low voltage noise is important because photodiode capacitance causes the effective noise gain of the circuit to increase at high frequency.

Transimpedance Amplifier www.ti.com OPA381 OPA2381 SBOS313B − AUGUST 2004 − REVISED NOVEMBER 2004 TRANSIMPEDANCE BANDWIDTH AND NOISE Limiting the gain set by RF can decrease the noise occurring at the output of the transimpedance circuit. However, all required gain should occur in the transimpedance stage, since adding gain after the transimpedance amplifier generally produces poorer noise performance. The noise spectral density produced by RF increases with the square-root of RF, whereas the signal increases linearly. Therefore, signal-to-noise ratio is improved when all the required gain is placed in the transimpedance stage. Total noise increases with increased bandwidth. Limit the circuit bandwidth to only that required. Use a capacitor, CF, across the feedback resistor, RF, to limit bandwidth (even if not required for stability), if total output noise is a concern. Figure 6a shows the transimpedance circuit without any feedback capacitor. The resulting transimpedance gain of this circuit is shown in Figure 7. The –3dB point is approximately 3MHz. Adding a 16pF feedback capacitor (Figure 6b) will limit the bandwidth and result in a –3dB point at approximately 200kHz (seen in Figure 7). Output noise will be further reduced by adding a filter (RFILTER and CFILTER) to create a second pole (Figure 6c). This second pole is placed within the feedback loop to maintain the amplifier’s low output impedance. (If the pole was placed outside the feedback loop, an additional buffer would be required and would inadvertently increase noise and dc error).

This capacitance causes the voltage noise of the op amp to be amplified (increasing amplification at high frequency). Using a low-noise voltage source to reverse-bias a photodiode can significantly reduce its capacitance. Smaller photodiodes have lower capacitance. Use optics to concentrate light on a small photodiode. Circuit board leakage can degrade the performance of an otherwise well-designed amplifier. Clean the circuit board carefully. A circuit board guard trace that encircles the summing junction and is driven at the same voltage can help control leakage. See Figure 11. CAPACITIVE LOAD AND STABILITY The OPA381 series op amps can drive greater than 100pF pure capacitive load. Increasing the gain enhances the amplifier’s ability to drive greater capacitive loads. See the Phase Margin vs Load Capacitance typical characteristic curve. One method of improving capacitive load drive in the unity-gain configuration is to insert a 10Ω to 20Ω resistor inside the feedback loop, as shown in Figure 12. This reduces ringing with large capacitive loads while maintaining DC accuracy. RF CF(3) RF V+ RS 20Ω OPA381 λ OPA381 VOUT λ VB(1) V− VOUT CL RL VPD(2) Guard ring Figure 11.

OTHER WAYS TO MEASURE SMALL CURRENTS Logarithmic amplifiers are used to compress extremely wide dynamic range input currents to a much narrower range. Wide input dynamic ranges of 8 decades, or 100pA to 10mA, can be accommodated for input to a 12-bit ADC. (Suggested products: LOG101, LOG102, LOG104, LOG112.) Extremely small currents can be accurately measured by integrating currents on a capacitor. (Suggested product: IVC102.) Low-level currents can be converted to high-resolution data words. (Suggested product: DDC112.) For further information on the range of products available, search www.ti.com using the above specific model names or by using keywords transimpedance and logarithmic.

Precision Integrator CF R1 100kΩ V+ DFN (DRB) THERMALLYENHANCED PACKAGE One of the package options for the OPA381 and OPA2381 is the DFN-8 package, a thermally-enhanced package designed to eliminate the use of bulky heat sinks and slugs traditionally used in thermal packages. The absence of external leads eliminates bent-lead concerns and issues. Although the power dissipation requirements of a given application might not require a heat sink, for mechanical reliability, the exposed power pad must be soldered to the board and connected to V− (pin 4). This package can be easily mounted using standard PCB assembly techniques. See Application Note SLUA271, QFN/SON PCB Attachment, located at www.ti.com. These DFN packages have reliable solderability with either SnPb or Pb-free solder paste. R2 10kΩ VIN OPA381 VBIAS VOUT = VBIAS − R2 R1 x VIN Figure 14. Inverting Gain PRECISION INTEGRATOR With its low offset voltage, the OPA381 is well-suited for use as an integrator. Some applications require a means to reset the integration. The circuit shown in Figure 15 uses a mechanical switch as the reset mechanism. The switch is opened at the beginning of the integration period. It is shown in the open position, which is the integration mode. With the values of R1 and C1 shown, the output changes −1V/s per volt of input. 14 PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM www.ti.com 9-Dec-2004 PACKAGING INFORMATION Orderable Device OPA2381AIDGKR OPA2381AIDGKT OPA2381AIDRBR OPA2381AIDRBT OPA381AIDGKR OPA381AIDGKT OPA381AIDRBR OPA381AIDRBT (1) Status (1) ACTIVE ACTIVE ACTIVE ACTIVE ACTIVE ACTIVE ACTIVE ACTIVE Package Type MSOP MSOP SON SON MSOP MSOP SON SON Package Drawing DGK DGK DRB DRB DGK DGK DRB DRB Pins Package Eco Plan (2) Qty 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 2500 250 3000 250 2500 250 3000 250 None None None None None None None None Lead/Ball Finish Call TI Call TI Call TI Call TI CU NIPDAU CU NIPDAU Call TI Call TI MSL Peak Temp (3) Level-1-240C-UNLIM Level-1-240C-UNLIM Level-1-240C-UNLIM Level-1-240C-UNLIM Level-1-240C-UNLIM Level-1-240C-UNLIM Level-1-240C-UNLIM Level-1-240C-UNLIM The marketing status values are defined as follows: ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
