OPA209: Can OPA209 or OPA354 replace OPA350 for DDC264

Part Number: OPA209
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA350, , OPA354, DDC264, OPA328

Hi team,

Could you please kindly help check if OPA209 or OPA354 replace OPA350 for DDC264?

Thanks,

Brian

  • HI Brian,

    The OPAx209 can be compensated to drive a large 100µF bypass capacitor, but will require increasing the resistors from 0.7Ω to ~3Ω.  Also, the issue is the OPAx209 input common-mode range requires a 1.5V headroom from the positive rail.  In the circuit above, the reference is 4.096V and the supply is +5V, with 904mV headroom, therefore this is outside the allowed linear range of the OPAx209:

    The OPA354 can certainly work on the circuit above, nevertheless, this is a much higher bandwidth amplifier, where the OPA350 GBW is 38-MHz, and OPA354 is 250-MHz.

    You could consider using the OPA328, which is stable in the circuit above driving the (100µF+0.7Ω )|| (10µF+0.7Ω) load, without modifications.  The OPAx328 is a newer amplifier offering a bandwidth of 40-MHz, and lower offset and offset drift, offering better accuracy driving the reference of the DDC264.

    OPAx328 reference driver Circuit:
