• PROPAGATION DELAY: 1.9ns
The OPA615 is a complete subsystem for very fast
and precise DC restoration, offset clamping, and
• BANDWIDTH:
low-frequency hum suppression of wideband
OTA: 710MHz
amplifiers or buffers. Although it is designed to
Comparator: 730MHz
stabilize the performance of video signals, the circuit
• LOW INPUT BIAS CURRENT: ±1μA
can also be used as a sample-and-hold amplifier,
• SAMPLE-AND-HOLD SWITCHING
high-speed integrator, or peak detector for
TRANSIENTS: ±5mV
nanosecond pulses. The device features a wideband
Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) with a
• SAMPLE-AND-HOLD FEEDTHROUGH
high-impedance cascode current source output and
REJECTION: 100dB
fast and precise sampling comparator that together
• CHARGE INJECTION: 40fC
set a new standard for high-speed applications. Both
• HOLD COMMAND DELAY TIME: 2.5ns
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
• BROADCAST/HDTV EQUIPMENT
low input bias current. The sampling comparator has
• TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT
two identical high-impedance inputs and a current
source output optimized for low output bias current
• HIGH-SPEED DATA ACQUISITION
and offset voltage; it can be controlled by a

sampling comparator can be adjusted by an external
• PULSE CODE MODULATOR/DEMODULATOR
resistor, allowing bandwidth, quiescent current, and
• COMPLETE VIDEO DC LEVEL RESTORATION gain trade-offs to be optimized.
• SAMPLE-AND-HOLD AMPLIFIER
The OPA615 is available in both an SO-14
• SHC615 UPGRADE
surface-mount and an MSOP-10 package.
