Wide-Bandwidth, DC Restoration Circuit
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
PROPAGATION DELAY: 1.9ns
The OPA615 is a complete subsystem for very fast
and precise DC restoration, offset clamping, and
low-frequency hum suppression of wideband ampli-
fiers 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.

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 volt-
age-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.
