OPA145: OPA145 Spice model

Part Number: OPA145
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA2145

I'm looking to use the OPA145 (or OPA2145) in a new design which uses very low Voltages. The supply rails would be +/-3.3V. According to the data sheet the part looks like it should be good down to +/-2.25V. However when I tried using the spice model, I can't get the part to work properly below about +/-5V. Is this a known bug in the model or does the part really have a problem working down at low supply Voltages..? I've tried both the Tina spice tool and the LTSpice tool but they both give identical results.

Hi Ken,

Vcm has specific requirements, see the attached image below.

Hi Raymond

Thank you so much for your very prompt reply.

I also found the amplifier worked correctly at +/- 3.5V.

If you try 3.3V it no longer works which is confusing.

Do you see the same?

Regards

Ken

Hi Ken,

At +/-3.3V, it still works, but the output has a large offset somehow, the it is still operating correctly or linearly above and below the offset.

I need to check with model engineer and see if there is an error in the model.

Best,

Raymond

Hi Ken,

My bad! I did not pay attention to the common mode voltage at V+ pin, which is sitting at GND. The model is correct.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
