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 25µV, 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 transimpedance 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 4 to 5 decades can be achieved. For example, this capability allows the measurement of signal currents on the order of 1nA, and up to 100µA 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 pull-down 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.

The OPA3832 is a triple, low-power, high-speed, fixed-gain amplifier designed to operate on a single +3V to +11V supply. Operation on ±1.5V to ±5.5V supplies is also supported. The input range extends below ground and to within 1.7V of the positive supply. Using complementary common-emitter outputs provides an output swing to within 30mV of ground and 60mV of the positive supply. The high output drive current and low differential gain and phase errors also make it ideal for single-supply consumer video products. Low distortion operation is ensured by high bandwidth (80MHz) and slew rate (350V/µs), making the OPA3832 an ideal input buffer stage to 3V and 5V CMOS converters. Unlike earlier low-power, single-supply amplifiers, distortion performance improves as the signal swing is decreased. A low 9.3nV/Hzinput voltage noise supports wide dynamic range operation. The OPA3832 is available in an industry-standard SO-14 package or a small TSSOP-14 package.

The OPA3875 offers a very wideband, 3-channel, 2:1 multiplexer in a small SSOP-16 package. Using only 11mA/ch, the OPA3875 provides three, gain of +2, video amplifier channels with greater than 400MHz large-signal bandwidth (4VPP). Gain accuracy and switching glitch are improved over earlier solutions using a new (patented) input stage switching approach. This technique uses current steering as the input switch while maintaining an overall closed-loop design. Gain matching between each of the 3-channel pairs is also significantly improved using this technique (<0.2% gain mismatch). With greater than 700MHz small-signal bandwidth at a gain of 2, the OPA3875 gives a typical 0.1dB gain flatness to greater than 150MHz. System power may be reduced using the chip enable feature for the OPA3875. Taking the chip enable line high powers down the OPA3875 to less than 900µA total supply current. Muxing multiple OPA3875 outputs together, then using the chip enable to select which channels are active, increases the number of possible inputs to the 3-channel outputs. Where a single channel of the OPA3875 is required, consider the OPA875. The OPA3875 offers a very wideband, 3-channel, 2:1 multiplexer in a small SSOP-16 package.
