Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA657, OPA656
I recently tried to design a low-pass filter using WEBENCH. The cutoff frequency was about 10 MHz. The recommended amplifier was an OPA656 which has a gain bandwidth figure of 500 MHz. When I tried to increase the specs somewhat, the next recommended design specified AMPLIFIER_IDEAL. I know TI have an amplifier, the OPA657, which has a GBW of 1600 MHz and I thought that would have fit the bill. Why didn't it recommend that as the amplifier to use? Is the WEBENCH library kept up-to-date? Looking forward to any answers. Harry
