DESCRIPTION
The OPA600 is a wideband operational amplifier specifi-
cally designed for fast settling to 
±
0.01% accuracy. It is
stable, easy to use, has good phase margin with minimum
overshoot, and it has excellent DC performance. It uti-
lizes an FET input stage to give low input bias current.
Its DC stability over temperature is outstanding. The slew
rate exceeds 400V/
μ
s. All of this combines to form an
outstanding amplifier for large and small signals.
High accuracy with fast settling time is achieved by using
a high open-loop gain which provides the accuracy at
high frequencies. The thermally balanced design main-
tains this accuracy without droop or thermal tail. Exter-
nal frequency compensation allows the user to optimize
the settling time for various gains and load conditions.
The OPA600 is useful in a broad range of video, high
speed test circuits and ECM applications. It is particu-
larly well suited to operate as a voltage controlled oscil-
lator (VCO) driver. It makes an excellent digital-to-ana-
log converter output amplifier. It is a workhorse in test
equipment where fast pulses, large signals,
and 50
 drive are important. It is a good choice for
sample/holds, integrators, fast waveform generators, and
multiplexers.
The OPA600 is specified over the industrial temperature
range (OPA600BM, CM) and military temperature range
(OPA600SM, TM). The OPA600 is housed in a welded,
hermetic metal package.
