Wide Bandwidth (80MHz, Open-Loop, G = +5)
The OPA861 is a versatile monolithic component
designed for wide-bandwidth systems, including high
performance video, RF and IF circuitry. The OPA861
is a wideband, bipolar operational transconductance
amplifier (OTA).
High Slew Rate (900V/µs)
High Transconductance (95mA/V)
External IQ-Control
Low Quiescent Current (5.4mA)
The OTA or voltage-controlled current source can be
viewed as an ideal transistor. Like a transistor, it has
three terminals—a high impedance input (base), a
low-impedance input/output (emitter), and the current
output (collector). The OPA861, however, is
self-biased and bipolar. The output collector current is
zero for a zero base-emitter voltage. AC inputs
centered about zero produce an output current, which
is bipolar and centered about zero. The
transconductance of the OPA861 can be adjusted
with an external resistor, allowing bandwidth, quiesc-
ent current, and gain trade-offs to be optimized.

Video/Broadcast Equipment
Communications Equipment
High-Speed Data Acquisition
Wideband LED Drivers
Control Loop Amplifiers
Wideband Active Filters
Line Drivers
Used as a basic building block, the OPA861 sim-
plifies the design of AGC amplifiers, LED driver
circuits for fiber optic transmission, integrators for fast
pulses, fast control loop amplifiers and control ampli-
fiers for capacitive sensors and active filters. The
OPA861 is available in SO-8 and SOT23-6 sur-
face-mount packages.
