OPA4658 LOW-POWER UPGRADE
freedom from amplifier bandwidth interaction. This allows
frequency response peaking elements to be added, multiple
input inverting summing circuits to have greater bandwidth,
and low-power line drivers to meet the demanding require-
ments of studio cameras and broadcast video.
The output capability of the OPA4684 also sets a new mark
in performance for low-power current-feedback amplifiers.
Delivering a full

supplies, the OPA4684
also has the output current to support >

swing into 50鈩?
This minimal output headroom requirement is complemented
by a similar 1.2V input stage headroom giving exceptional
capability for single +5V operation.
The OPA4684鈥檚 low 6.8mA supply current is precisely trimmed
at 25擄C. This trim, along with low shift over temperature and
supply voltage, gives a very robust design over a wide range
of operating conditions.
DESCRIPTION
The OPA4684 provides a new level of performance in low-
power, wideband, current-feedback (CFB) amplifiers. This
CFB
PLUS
amplifier is among the first to use an internally
closed-loop input buffer stage that enhances performance
significantly over earlier low-power CFB amplifiers. While
retaining the benefits of very low power operation, this new
architecture provides many of the benefits of a more ideal
CFB amplifier. The closed-loop input stage buffer gives a
very low and linearized impedance path at the inverting input
to sense the feedback error current. This improved inverting
input impedance retains exceptional bandwidth to much
higher gains and improves harmonic distortion over earlier
solutions limited by inverting input linearity. Beyond simple
high-gain applications, the OPA4684 CFB
