The OPA615 is a complete subsystem for very fast and precise DC restoration, offset clamping, and low-frequency hum suppression of wideband amplifiers or buffers. Although it is designed to stabilize the performance of video signals, the circuit can also be used as a sample-and-hold amplifier, high-speed integrator, or peak detector for nanosecond pulses. The device features a wideband Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) with a high-impedance cascode current source output and fast and precise sampling comparator that together set a new standard for high-speed applications. Both the OTA and the sampling comparator can be used as stand-alone circuits or combined to form a more complex signal processing stage. The self-biased, bipolar OTA can be viewed as an ideal voltage-controlled current source and is optimized for low input bias current. The sampling comparator has two identical high-impedance inputs and a current source output optimized for low output bias current and offset voltage; it can be controlled by a TTL-compatible switching stage within a few nanoseconds. The transconductance of the OTA and sampling comparator can be adjusted by an external resistor, allowing bandwidth, quiescent current, and gain trade-offs to be optimized. The OPA615 is available in both an SO-14 surface-mount and an MSOP-10 package.

The OPAx625 family of operational amplifiers are excellent 16-bit and 18-bit, SAR ADC drivers that are high precision with low THD and noise allow for a unique power-scalable solution. This family of devices is fully characterized and specified with a 16-bit settling time of 280 ns that enables a true 16-bit effective number of bits (ENOB). Along with a high dc precision of only 100 µV offset voltage, a wide gain-bandwidth product of 120 MHz, a low wideband noise of 2.5 nV/√Hz, this family is optimized for driving high-throughput, high-resolution SAR ADCs, such as the ADS88xx family of SAR ADCs. The OPAx625 features two operating modes: high-drive and low-power. In the innovative low-power mode, the OPAx625 tracks the input signal allowing the OPAx625 to transition from low-power mode to high-drive mode at 16-bit ENOB within 170 ns. The OPAx625 family is available in 6-pin SOT and 10-pin VSSOP packages and is specified for operation from –40°C to +125°C.

The OPA627 and OPA637 (OPA6x7) operational amplifiers (op amps) provide a new level of performance in a precision FET operational amplifier. When compared to the popularOPA111op amp, the OPA6x7 have lower noise, lower offset voltage, and higher speed. The OPA6x7 are useful in a broad range of precision and high-speed analog circuitry. The OPA6x7 is fabricated on a high-speed, dielectrically-isolated, complementary NPN/PNP process. The OPA6x7 operate over a wide power-supply voltage range of ±4.5V to ±18V. Laser-trimmed input circuitry provides high accuracy and low-noise performance comparable with the best bipolar-input op amps. High-frequency complementary transistors allow increased circuit bandwidth, attaining dynamic performance not possible with previous precision FET op amps. The OPA627 is unity-gain stable. The OPA637 is stable in gains ≥ 5. State-of-the-art, precision FET transistors achieve extremely low input bias currents without compromising input voltage noise performance. Low input bias current is maintained over a wide input common-mode voltage range with unique cascode circuitry. The OPA6x7 are available in SOIC-8 and TO-99 packages. Industrial temperature range models are available. The OPA627 and OPA637 (OPA6x7) operational amplifiers (op amps) provide a new level of performance in a precision FET operational amplifier.
