DESCRIPTION

The OPA380 family of transimpedance amplifiers provides

high-speed (90MHz Gain Bandwidth [GBW]) operation, with

extremely high precision, excellent long-term stability, and

very low 1/f noise. It is ideally suited for high-speed

photodiode applications. The OPA380 features an offset

voltage of 25

µV, offset drift of 0.1µV/°C, and bias current of

50pA. The OPA380 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 90MHz GBW of the OPA380 enables a trans-

impedance bandwidth of > 1MHz in most configurations. The

OPA380 is ideally suited for fast control loops for power level

on an optical fiber.

As a result of the high precision and low-noise characteristics

of the OPA380, a dynamic range of 5 decades can be

achieved. This capability allows the measurement of signal

currents in the order of 10nA, and up to 1mA in a single I/V

conversion stage. In contrast to logarithmic amplifiers, the

OPA380 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 OPA380 (single) is available in MSOP-8 and SO-8

packages. The OPA2380 (dual) is available in the

miniature MSOP-8 package. They are specified from

–40

°C to +125°C.
