OPA857: Gain switching time?

Part Number: OPA857


I see that we can control the transimpedance gain by pulling CTRL pin logic high or low.

Can this be done, dynamically?

If so, what is the switching time?

Thanks.

  • HI, 

    Yes, the pin can be changed dynamically, but you will likely see significant transients during the switching. We didn't explicitly characterize the switching time for this device, but I would expect an order of 10s to 100s of ns depending on what level of settling accuracy you are looking for. 

    Regards,
