DESCRIPTION
The OPA656 combines a very wideband, unity-gain stable,
voltage-feedback op amp with a FET-input stage to offer an
ultra high dynamic-range amplifier for ADC (Analog-to-Digital
Converter) buffering and transimpedance applications. Extremely
low DC errors give good precision in optical applications.
The high unity-gain stable bandwidth and JFET input allows
exceptional performance in high-speed, low-noise integrators.
The high input impedance and low bias current provided by
the FET input is supported by the ultra-low 7nV/Hz input
voltage noise to achieve a very low integrated noise in
wideband photodiode transimpedance applications.
Broad transimpedance bandwidths are achievable given the
OPA656’s high 230MHz gain bandwidth product. As shown
below, a –3dB bandwidth of 1MHz is provided even for a high
1M transimpedance gain from a 47pF source capacitance.
