The OPA600 is a wideband operational amplifier specifically
designed for fast settling to ±0.01% accuracy. It is
stable, easy to use, has good phase margin with minimum
overshoot, and it has excellent DC performance. It utilizes
an FET input stage to give low input bias current.
Its DC stability over temperature is outstanding. The slew
rate exceeds 400V/ms. All of this combines to form an
outstanding amplifier for large and small signals.
High accuracy with fast settling time is achieved by using
a high open-loop gain which provides the accuracy at
high frequencies. The thermally balanced design maintains
this accuracy without droop or thermal tail. External
frequency compensation allows the user to optimize the settling time for various gains and load conditions.
The OPA600 is useful in a broad range of video, high
speed test circuits and ECM applications. It is particularly
well suited to operate as a voltage controlled oscillator
(VCO) driver. It makes an excellent digital-to-analog
converter output amplifier. It is a workhorse in test
equipment where fast pulses, large signals,
and 50W drive are important. It is a good choice for
sample/holds, integrators, fast waveform generators, and
multiplexers.
The OPA600 is specified over the industrial temperature
range (OPA600BM, CM) and military temperature range
(OPA600SM, TM). The OPA600 is housed in a welded,
hermetic metal package.
