OPA847
OPA847
SBOS251C – JULY 2002 – REVISED OCTOBER 2003
Wideband, Ultra-Low Noise, Voltage-Feedback
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER with Shutdown
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The OPA847 combines very high gain bandwidth and large
signal performance with an ultra-low input noise voltage
(0.85nV/√Hz) while using only 18mA supply current. Where
power savings is critical, the OPA847 also includes an
optional power shutdown pin that, when pulled low, disables
the amplifier and decreases the supply current to < 1% of the
powered-up value. This optional feature may be left discon-
nected to ensure normal amplifier operation when no power-
down is required.
z HIGH GAIN BANDWIDTH: 3.9GHz
z LOW INPUT VOLTAGE NOISE: 0.85nV/
√Hz
z VERY LOW DISTORTION: –105dBc (5MHz)
z HIGH SLEW RATE: 950V/µs
z HIGH DC ACCURACY: VIO < ±100µV
z LOW SUPPLY CURRENT: 18.1mA
z LOW SHUTDOWN POWER: 2mW
z STABLE FOR GAINS ≥ 12
The combination of very low input voltage and current noise,
along with a 3.9GHz gain bandwidth product, make the
OPA847 an ideal amplifier for wideband transimpedance
applications. As a voltage gain stage, the OPA847 is opti-
mized for a flat frequency response at a gain of +20V/V and
is stable down to gains as low as +12V/V. New external
compensation techniques allow the OPA847 to be used at
any inverting gain with excellent frequency response control.
Using this technique in a differential Analog-to-Digital Con-
verter (ADC) interface application, shown below, can deliver
one of the highest dynamic-range interfaces available.
