DESCRIPTION
+VS

The OPA633 is a monolithic unity-gain buffer amplifier featuring very wide bandwidth and high slew rate.
A dielectric isolation process incorporating both NPN
and PNP high frequency transistors achieves performance unattainable with conventional integrated circuit technology. Laser trimming provides low input
offset voltage.
High output current capability allows the OPA633 to
drive 50 and 75 lines, making it ideal for RF, IF
and video applications. Low phase shift allows the
OPA633 to be used inside amplifier feedback loops.
OPA633 is available in a low cost plastic DIP package
specified for 0C to +75C operation.

OPA633

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

input voltage versus frequency curves. When used to buffer

an op amps output, the input to the OPA633 is limited, in
most cases, by the op amp. When high frequency inputs can
exceed safe levels, the device must be protected by limiting
the power supply current.

As with any high frequency circuitry, good circuit layout

technique must be used to achieve optimum performance.
Power supply connections must be bypassed with high
frequency capacitors. Many applications benefit from the
use of two capacitors on each power supplya ceramic
capacitor for good high frequency decoupling and a tantalum type for lower frequencies. They should be located as
close as possible to the buffers power supply pins. A large
ground plane is used to minimize high frequency ground
drops and stray coupling.

PROTECTION CIRCUITS
The OPA633 can be protected from damage due to excessive currents by the simple addition of resistors in series with
the power supply pins (Figure 5a). While this limits output
current, it also limits voltage swing with low impedance
loads. This reduction in voltage swing is minimal for AC or
high crest factor signals since only the average current from
the power supply causes a voltage drop across the series
resistor. Short duration load-current peaks are
supplied by the bypass capacitors.

Pin 6 connects to the substrate of the integrated circuit and

should be connected to ground. In principle it could also be
connected to +VS or VS, but ground is preferable. The
additional lead length and capacitance associated with sockets may cause problems in applications requiring the highest
fidelity of high speed pulses.

The circuit of Figure 5b overcomes the limitations of the

previous circuit with DC loads. It allows nearly full output
voltage swing up to its current limit of approximately 140mA.
Both circuits require good high frequency capacitors (e.g.,
tantalum) to bypass the buffers power supply connections.

Depending on the nature of the input source impedance, a

series input resistor may be required for best stability. This
behavior is influenced somewhat by the load impedance
(including any reactive effects). A value of 50 to 200 is
typical. This resistor should be located close to the OPA633s
input pin to avoid stray capacitance at the input which could
reduce bandwidth (see Gain and Phase versus Frequency
curve).

CAPACITIVE LOADS
The OPA633 is designed to safely drive capacitive loads up
to 0.01F. It must be understood, however, that rapidly
changing voltages demand large output load currents:

OVERLOAD CONDITIONS
The input and output circuitry of the OPA633 are not
protected from overload. When the input signal and load
characteristics are within the devicess capabilities, no protection circuitry is required. Exceeding device limits can
result in permanent damage.

ILOAD = CLOAD

Thus, a signal slew rate of 1000V/s and load capacitance of

0.01F demands a load current of 10A. Clearly maximum
slew rates cannot be combined with large capacitive loads.
Load current should be kept less than 100mA continuous
(200mA peak) by limiting the rate of change of the input
signal or reducing the load capacitance.

The OPA633s small package and high output current capability can lead to overheating. The internal junction temperature should not be allowed to exceed 150C. Although
failure is unlikely to occur until junction temperature
exceeds 200C, reliability of the part will be degraded
significantly at such high temperatures. Since significant
heat transfer takes place through the package leads, wide
printed circuit traces to all leads will improve heat sinking.
Sockets reduce heat transfer significantly and are not recommended.

USE INSIDE A FEEDBACK LOOP

The OPA633 may be used inside the feedback path of an op
amp such as the OPA602. Higher output current is achieved
without degradation in accuracy. This approach may actually improve performance in precision applications by removing load-dependent dissipation from a precision op amp.
All vestiges of load-dependent offset voltage and temperature drift can be eliminated with this technique. Since the
buffer is placed within the feedback loop of the op amp, its
DC errors will have a negligible effect on overall accuracy.
Any DC errors contributed by the buffer are divided by the
loop gain of the op amp.

Junction temperature rise is proportional to internal power

dissipation. This can be reduced by using the minimum
supply voltage necessary to produce the required output
voltage swing. For instance, 1V video signals can be easily
handled with 5V power supplies thus minimizing the
internal power dissipation.

The low phase shift of the OPA633 allows its use inside the
feedback loop of a wide variety of op amps. To assure
stability, the buffer must not add significant phase shift to
the loop at the gain crossing frequency of the circuitthe
frequency at which the open loop gain of the op amp is equal
to the closed loop gain of the application. The OPA633 has
a typical phase shift of less than 10 up to 70MHz, thus
making it useful even with wideband op amps.

Output overloads or short circuits can result in permanent

damage by causing excessive output current. The 50 or
75 series output resistor used to match line impedance
will, in most cases, provide adequate protection. When this
resistor is not used, the device can be protected by limiting
the power supply current. See Protection Circuits.
Excessive input levels at high frequency can cause increased
internal dissipation and permanent damage. See the safe
