OPA691: OPA691: Optimum value of the feedback resistance for ±3.3V supply rail.

Part Number: OPA691
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA684

1. The datasheet of OPA691 mentions the optimum value of feedback resistance that ensure reasonably good stability and bandwidth.

The specs mentioned are for ± 5V rail. Will it hold good for ± 3.3V?

If not, what way the optimum value of feedback resistance change?

2.  What would be the bandwidth for gain of 10 and if feedback resistor is 1KΩ for ± 3.3V.

  • The BW vs gain and Rf is reasonably constant with supply voltage, 1kohm sounds high for gain of 10 - you could try to simulate that in TINA. 

    If you need better BW vs Gain the OPA684 does a better job at higher gains if its about 120Mhz is good enough. 

  • Hello Shobha,

    1) As Michael said, BW vs gain/RF are constant with supply voltage. So, the specs should remain constant for various power supply/rail configurations.

    2) Small signal frequency response for different gain settings with recommended feedback values:

    The simulation models for the OPA691 are located here.

    Thank you,

  • I had some previous sim files already set up, here is the OPA684 at gain of 10, Rf=900ohms - the models generally do not try to include much in the way of supply variation on AC results, I put it to +/-3.3V supplies for this app, but +/-5V would look the same

    And then dropping in the OPA691 to this same schematic, this is due to the higher inverting input R for the OPA691. The OPA684 was a unique CFA in that the buffer across the inputs was closed loop to reduce the open loop impedance looking back into the inverting input - this really helps the higher gain BW hold up better than more classical CFA designs like the OPA691.

  • We have chosen OPA691 for its higher slew rate.

    Thanks for the support.
