BOARD LAYOUT GUIDELINES
Achieving
optimum
high-frequency amplifier such as the OPA2652
requires careful attention to board layout parasitics
and external component types. Recommendations

farther from the device and may be shared among
several devices in the same area of the PCB.
Heatsinking or forced airflow may be required under
extreme operating conditions. Maximum desired
junction temperature will set the maximum allowed
internal power dissipation as described below. In no
case should the maximum junction temperature be
allowed to exceed 175

performance of the OPA2652.
Resistors should be
a very low reactance type. Surface-mount resistors
work best and allow a tighter overall layout. Metal
film or carbon composition axiallyleaded resistors
can also provide good high frequency performance.
Again, keep resistor leads and PCB traces as short
as possible. Never use wirewound type resistors in a
high-frequency application. Since the output pin and
inverting input pin are the most sensitive to parasitic
capacitance, always position the feedback and series
output resistor, if any, as close as possible to the
output pin. Other network components, such as
noninverting input termination resistors, should also
be placed close to the package. Where double-side
component mounting is allowed, place the feedback
resistor directly under the package on the other side
