OPA4202: OPA4202ID

Part Number: OPA4202
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA202, TINA-TI

Kindly provide the TINA simulation for the above circuit. 

  • Suganya,

    OPA4202 is a bipolar input quad amplifier with back-to-back input protection diodes between the input terminals - see below. 

    For this reason, it is NOT well-suited for the comparator application you seem to try to implement in your schematic.  Since its absolute maximum differential voltage is limited to just +/-0.5V, using it as comparator may result in erroneous voltage tripping point - see below.

    If you need further assistance, please provide basic information like what is it exactly that you try to do?  Also, please provide information about voltage supplies and the range of the input voltages applied to the input of the amplifier.  Btw, what sort of Tina simulation are you asking for?  AC, DC, transient, etc.?

  • The output and inverting input have the same label, so this might be a voltage follower. But then the 0R connection does not make sense.

    Please provide a fixed schematic. And what is the actual problem you're trying to solve?

  • Currently in my schematic the unity gain OP-amp which is DNP (donot populate ) in my board. When it is in DNP, we need to place this 0R for connectivity to OPAMP_OUT0 then to 301R. When this OP-AMP is not DNP ( i.e. when it is populated in board ) , then the 0R resistor will be removed and DAC_OUT0 directly connected to OP-AMP's DAC_OUT0

  • Please provide information about voltage supplies and the range of the input voltages applied to the input of the amplifier.  Btw, what sort of Tina simulation are you asking for?  AC sweep, DC sweep or transient response, etc.?

  • OPAMP voltage supply = +/- 15V. The AC sweep and DC sweep TINA simulation is required.

  • First, you need to make sure that with 10nF load the circuit is still stable - with 95 degrees phase margin, it is in fact very stable (see below).

    Running a small-signal transient analysis confirms circuit stable operation with no overshoot shown - see below.

    Its small-signal transient response is controlled by the low-pass filter at the output.

    Running AC sweep show -3dB frequency response is set by the R1||C1 low-pass filter. 

    The linear range of the the buffer circuit is limited by the OPA202 input common-mode voltage range of: (V-)+1.5V < Vcm < (V+)-1.5V (see datasheet).

  • can you please suggest a suitable alternate for DAC LTC2664CUH12-#PBF in TI and provide simulation of opamp along with dac.

    DAC supply voltage is +/-15V

  • Suganya,

    For the alternative to DAC LTC2664CUH12-#PBF, you need to contact appropriate DCC-DAC product line.  Just so you know, E2E is a support forum helping with design related problems and not a design house.  You need to do diligence in your design efforts especially in case of very limited design description in line with  "kindly provide the TINA simulation for the above circuit."
