OPA454: OP AMP OPA454

Part Number: OPA454

Hi,

   I'm going to design an op amp with the TI chips.The op amp needs:The input voltage and frequency are 0 - 5V and 1MHZ,and the amplified output voltage is 0 - 100V(1MHZ). Can you give me some advises on  which TI chip to choose and how to realize it ?

   I used OPA454 to achieve it yesterday,but find OPA454's GBM is not enough.This why I choose my post's part number is OPA454. Thanks.

    Unfortunately we do not have any parts that meet your voltage/bandwidth requirements.

    It's possible to have multiple gain stages to stay within bandwidth requirements, but this introduces added cost and more gain error.

  • Hi Dennis,

    Thanks for your replay.Would you please give me some advises on how to  multiple gain stages ?

  • Well a 100V output at 1MHz is kind of hard to come by and TI does not have a part there it seems, 

    I was already working on a different project using a device that might suit you  - you might look at the Apex PA107, I had managed to import its model into TINA (attached) but I was noticing it seemed like the slew rate was simulating much lower than the 2500V/usec specification - I used offset supplies here, which I think will be ok,but you should confirm that. The small signal gain of 20 response is 11Mhz, 

    I had to slow the 0 to 5V 1MHz square wave input down to 50nsec edge, still slew limiting it looks like - in sim, that output 2000V/usec should be in spec for better shape (less overshoot)

    Here is the TINA file,

  • Also, I was just kind of guessing you wanted a 0 to100V 1Mhz square wave. Whatever you actually want, keep in mind a 100V transition is going to need some slew rate - the OPA454 is extremely low on slew rate. The PA107 says it is 2500V/usec, but the model produces 1000V/usec.

    The best option for you is to find an amplifier that will do the job. The company Apex that Michael referred to specializes in these kind of amplifiers.

    A work around is just going to compound any errors, and as Michael pointed out, the slew rate of the OPA454 is insufficient for this application.
