OPA685
The non-inverting inputs may be used to set the output DC
operating voltage independently of the signal path gain.
Measured single and 2-tone distortion results for the circuit
of Figure 12 are shown in Figure 13, where the outputs are
set to a +2.5V common-mode operating voltage to allow
direct coupling into a differential input, single +5V supply
ADC. This plot shows the SFDR for the worst harmonic
over frequency. The balanced differential structure of Figure
12 significantly improves SFDR at low frequencies while
holding the performance above 65dBc for a 1Vp-p output
through 60MHz.

OPERATING SUGGESTIONS
SETTING RESISTOR VALUES TO OPTIMIZE BAND-
WIDTH
A current-feedback op amp like the OPA685 can hold an
almost constant bandwidth over signal gain settings with the
proper adjustment of the external resistor values. This is
shown in the Typical Performance Curves. The small-signal
bandwidth decreases only slightly with increasing gain.
These curves also show that the feedback resistor has been
changed for each gain setting. The resistor “values” on the
inverting side of the circuit for a current-feedback op amp
can be treated as frequency response compensation elements
while their “ratios” set the signal gain. Figure 14 shows the
analysis circuit for the OPA685 small-signal frequency re-
sponse.

The buffer gain is typically very close to 1.00 and is
normally neglected from signal gain considerations. It will,
however, set the CMRR for a single op amp differential
amplifier configuration. For the buffer gain

<
1.0, the
CMRR = –20 log (1 –

).
