The OPA660 is a versatile monolithic component designed for wide-bandwidth systems including high performance video, RF and IF circuitry. It includes a wideband, bipolar integrated voltage-controlled current source and voltage buffer amplifier. The voltage-controlled current source or Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) can be viewed as an “ideal transistor.” Like a transistor, it has three terminals—a high-impedance input (base), a lowimpedance input/output (emitter), and the current output (collector). The OTA, however, is self-biased and bipolar. The output current is zero-for-zero differential input voltage. AC inputs centered about zero produce an output current which is bipolar and centered about zero. The transconductance of the OTA can be adjusted with an external resistor, allowing bandwidth, quiescent current and gain trade-offs to be optimized. The open-loop buffer amplifier provides 850MHz bandwidth and 3000V/µs slew rate. Used as a basic building block, the OPA660 simplifies the design of AGC amplifiers, LED driver circuits for Fiber Optic Transmission, integrators for fast pulses, fast control loop amplifiers, and control amplifiers for capacitive sensors and active filters.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The OPA660 operates from ±5V power supplies (±6V maximum). Do not attempt to operate with larger power supply voltages or permanent damage may occur.
The buffer output is not current-limited or protected. If the output is shorted to ground, currents up to 60mA could flow. Momentary shorts to ground (a few seconds) should be avoided, but are unlikely to cause permanent damage. The same cautions apply to the OTA section when connected as a buffer (see Basic Applications Circuits, Figure 6b).
Inputs of the OPA660 are protected with internal diode clamps as shown in the simplified schematic, Figure 1. These protection diodes can safely conduct 10mA, continuously (30mA peak). If input voltages can exceed the power supply voltages by 0.7V, the input signal current must be limited.

BUFFER SECTION—AN OVERVIEW The buffer section of the OPA660 is an open-loop buffer consisting of complementary emitter-followers. It uses no feedback, so its low frequency gain is slightly less than unity and somewhat dependent on loading. It is designed primarily for interstage buffering. It is not designed for driving long cables or low impedance loads (although with small signals, it may be satisfactory for these applications).
QUIESCENT CURRENT CONTROL PIN The quiescent current of the OPA660 is set with a resistor, RQ, connected from pin 1 to V–. It affects the operating currents of both the buffer and OTA sections. This controls the bandwidth and AC behavior as well as the transconductance of the OTA section. RQ = 250Ω sets approximately 20mA total quiescent current at 25°C. With a fixed 250Ω resistor, process variations could cause this current to vary from approximately 16mA to 26mA. It may be appropriate in some applications to trim this resistor to achieve the desired quiescent current or AC performance.
TRANSCONDUCTANCE (OTA) SECTION—AN OVERVIEW The symbol for the OTA section is similar to a transistor. Applications circuits for the OTA look and operate much like transistor circuits—the transistor, too, is a voltagecontrolled current source. Not only does this simplify the understanding of applications circuits, but it aids the circuit optimization process. Many of the same intuitive techniques used with transistor designs apply to OTA circuits as well.
Applications circuits generally do not show resistor, RQ, but it is required for proper operation. With a fixed RQ resistor, quiescent current increases with temperature (see typical performance curve, Quiescent Current vs Temperature). This variation of current with temperature holds the transconductance, gm, of the OTA relatively constant with temperature (another advantage over a transistor).
The three terminals of the OTA are labeled B, E, and C. This calls attention to its similarity to a transistor, yet draws distinction for clarity.
It is also possible to vary the quiescent current with a control signal. The control loop in Figure 3 shows a 1/2 of a REF200 current source used to develop 100mV on R1. The loop forces 100mV to appear on R2. Total quiescent current of the OPA660 is approximately 85 • I1, where I1 is the current made to flow out of pin 1.
While it is similar to a transistor, one essential difference is the sense of the C output current. It flows out the C terminal for positive B-to-E input voltage and in the C terminal for negative B-to-E input voltage. The OTA offers many advantages over a discrete transistor. The OTA is self-biased, simplifying the design process and reducing component count. The OTA is far more linear than a transistor. Transconductance of the OTA is constant over a wide range of collector currents—this implies a fundamental improvement of linearity.

BASIC CONNECTIONS Figure 2 shows basic connections required for operation. These connections are not shown in subsequent circuit diagrams. Power supply bypass capacitors should be located as close as possible to the device pins. Solid tantalum capacitors are generally best.

With this control loop, quiescent current will be nearly constant with temperature. Since this differs from the temperature-dependent behavior of the internal current source, other temperature-dependent behavior may differ from that shown in typical performance curves.

Figure 4 shows logic control of pin 1 used to disable the OPA660. Zero/5V logic levels are converted to a 1mA/0mA current connected to pin 1. The 1mA current flowing in RQ increases the voltage at pin 1 to approximately 1V above the –5V rail. This will reduce IQ to near zero, disabling the OPA660.

BASIC APPLICATIONS CIRCUITS Most applications circuits for the OTA section consist of a few basic types which are best understood by analogy to a transistor. Just as the transistor has three basic operating modes—common emitter, common base, and common collector—the OTA has three equivalent operating modes common-E, common-B, and common-C. See Figures 5, 6, and 7.

A positive voltage at the B, pin 3, causes a positive current to flow out of the C, pin 8. Figure 5b shows an amplifier connection of the OTA, the equivalent of a common-emitter transistor amplifier. Input and output can be ground-referenced without any biasing. Due to the sense of the output current, the amplifier is non-inverting. Figure 8 shows the amplifier with various gains and output voltages using this configuration.
It is recommended to use a low value resistor in series with the B OTA and buffer inputs. This reduces any tendency to oscillate and controls frequency response peaking. Values from 25Ω to 200Ω are typical. Figure 7 shows the Common-B amplifier. This configuration produces an inverting gain, and a low impedance input. This low impedance can be converted to a high impedance by inserting the buffer amplifier in series.
Just as transistor circuits often use emitter degeneration, OTA circuits may also use degeneration. This can be used to reduce the effect that offset voltage and offset current might otherwise have on the DC operating point of the OTA. The E-degeneration resistor may be bypassed with a large capacitor to maintain high AC gain. Other circumstances may suggest a smaller value capacitor used to extend or optimize high-frequency performance.
CIRCUIT LAYOUT The high frequency performance of the OPA660 can be greatly affected by the physical layout of the circuit. The following tips are offered as suggestions, not dogma. • Bypass power supplies very close to the device pins. Use a combination between tantalum capacitors (approximately 2.2µF) and polyester capacitors. Surface-mount types are best because they provide lowest inductance.
The transconductance of the OTA with degeneration can be calculated by— 1 gm = 1 + RE gm
• Make short, wide interconnection traces to minimize series inductance. • Use a large ground plane to assure that a low impedance ground is available throughout the layout.
Figure 6b shows the OTA connected as an E-follower—a voltage buffer. The buffer formed by this connection performs virtually the same as the buffer section of the OPA660 (the actual signal path is identical).
• Do not extend the ground plane under high impedance nodes sensitive to stray capacitance. • Sockets are not recommended because they add significant inductance. 20

• Use low-inductance components. Some film resistors are trimmed with spiral cuts which increase inductance.
• A resistor (25Ω to 200Ω) in series with the buffer and/or B input may help reduce oscillations and peaking.
• Use surface-mount components—they generally provide the lowest inductance.
• Use series resistors in the supply lines to decouple multiple devices. OPA660 CURRENT-FEEDBACK

SPICE MODELS Computer simulation using SPICE models is often useful when analyzing the performance of analog circuits and systems. This is particularly true for video and RF amplifier circuits, where parasitic capacitance and inductance can have a major effect on circuit performance. SPICE models are available from Burr-Brown.
