11 / 16 page ® OPA642 11 In the inverting configuration, an additional design consid- eration must be noted. R G becomes the input resistor and therefore the load impedance to the driving source. If imped- ance matching is desired, RG may be set equal to the required termination value. However, at low inverting gains the resultant feedback resistor value can present a significant load to the amplifier output. For example, an inverting gain of 2 with a 50 Ω input matching resistor (= R G) would require a 100 Ω feedback resistor, which would contribute to output loading in parallel with the external load. In such a case, it would be preferable to increase both the RF and RG values, and then achieve the input matching impedance with a third resistor to ground. The total input impedance becomes the parallel combination of RG and the additional shunt resistor. BANDWIDTH VS GAIN 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 signal gains, most amplifiers will exhibit a more complex response with lower phase margin. The OPA642 is optimized to give a maxi- mally flat second order Butterworth response in a gain of 2. In this configuration, the OPA642 has approximately 60 ° of phase margin and will show a typical –3dB bandwidth of 150MHz. When the phase margin is 60 °, the closed-loop bandwidth is approximately √2 greater than the value pre- dicted by dividing GBP by the noise gain. 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 21MHz bandwidth shown in the Typical Specifications agrees with that predicted using the simple formula and the typical GBP of 210MHz. OUTPUT DRIVE CAPABILITY The OPA642 has been optimized to drive the demanding load of a doubly terminated transmission line. When a 50 Ω line is driven, a series 50 Ω into the cable and a terminating 50 Ω load at the end of the cable are used. Under these conditions, the cable’s impedance will appear resistive over a wide frequency range, and the total effective load on the OPA642 is 100 Ω in parallel with the resistance of the feedback network. The Specifications show a guaranteed ±2.5V swing into a such a load—which will then be reduced to a ±1.25V swing at the termination resistor. The guaran- teed ±35mA output drive over temperature provides ad- equate current drive margin for this load. Higher voltage swings (and lower distortion) are achievable when driving higher impedance loads. A single video load typically appears as a 150 Ω load (using standard 75 Ω cables) to the driving amplifier. The OPA642 provides adequate voltage and current drive to support up to 3 parallel video loads (50 Ω total load) for an NTSC signal. With only one load, the OPA642 achieves an exceptionally low 0.007%/0.008 ° dG/dP error. DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS One of the most demanding, and yet very common, load conditions for an op amp is capacitive loading. A high speed, high open-loop gain, amplifier like the OPA642 can be very susceptible to decreased stability and closed-loop response peaking when a capacitive load is placed directly on the output pin. In simple terms, the capacitive load reacts with the open-loop output resistance of the amplifier to introduce an additional pole into the loop and thereby decrease the phase margin. This issue has become a popular topic of application notes and articles, and several external solutions to this problem have been suggested. When the primary considerations are frequency response flatness, pulse re- sponse 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 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 R S vs Capacitive Load and the resulting frequency response at the load. The criterion for setting the recommended resistor is maximum bandwidth, flat frequency response at the load. Since there is now a passive low pass filter between the output pin and the load capacitance, the response at the output pin itself is typically somewhat peaked, and becomes flat after the rolloff action of the RC network. This is not a concern in most applications, but can cause clipping if the desired signal swing at the load is very close to the amplifier’s swing limit. Such clipping would be most likely to occur in pulse response applications where the frequency peaking is manifested as an overshoot in the step response. Parasitic capacitive loads greater than 2pF can begin to degrade the performance of the OPA642. Long PC board traces, unmatched cables, and connections to multiple de- vices can easily cause this value to be exceeded. Always consider this effect carefully, and add the recommended series resistor as close as possible to the OPA642 output pin (see Board Layout Guidelines). DISTORTION PERFORMANCE The OPA642 is capable of delivering an exceptionally low distortion signal at high frequencies and low gains. The distortion plots in the Typical Performance Curves show the typical distortion under a wide variety of conditions. Most of these plots are limited to 100dB dynamic range. The OPA642’s distortion does not rise above –100dBc until either the signal level exceeds 0.5V and/or the fundamental frequency exceeds 500kHz. Distortion in the audio band is ≤ –120dBc. Generally, until the fundamental signal reaches very high frequencies or powers, the second harmonic will dominate the distortion with negligible third harmonic component. Focus- ing then on the second harmonic, increasing the load imped- ance improves distortion directly. Remember that the total load includes the feedback network—in the non-inverting |
