Single-Ended Input Differential Output Amplifier

A DRV134 converts a single- ended input signal to a differential output. Differential output is used to drive the inputs of some A/D converters and to drive tristed- pair or Twinax transmission lines in a high- noise environment.

An INA137 or INA137 can be used as a differential line receiver to convert the differential voltage back to single- ended.

In AC- only applications such as audio, capacitors can be inserted between the outputs and their respective sense pins to reduce the DRV134 output DC offset. See the data sheet for details. Bypass capacitors have been omitted in this schematic but their use is recommended. (Circuit is created by Neil P. Albaugh, TI- Tucson )

PI Temperature Control Integrator
Proportional-integral response for control systems can be generated by a simple analog circuit. Feedback components R2, C2, & C1 together with input resistor R1 control the frequency response of U1. R3 is added to the circuit to provide feedback in a DC analysis and it is not necessary in an actual circuit. For stability, the control loop dominant pole should be formed by this integrator.

The OPA380 is an integrator-stabilized operational amplifier that was developed primarily for transimpedance amplifier applications. Its inverting input is that a 90MHz CMOS op amp but its non-inverting input is an integrator non-inverting input, allowing only very low frequency response through this input. In most dual- supply applications, the OPA380 non- inverting input is simply tied to ground. In single- supply applications, it can be used to provide a DC offset. By adding an input resistor, R1, a transimpedance amplifier is transformed into a conventional inverting amplifier. The usual op amp inverting gain equation  applies: Av = – (R2/R1) in V/V. The OPA380 is input offset voltage is specified as 4uV typical, 25uV maximum @ 25C, drift is 0.03uV/C typ, 0.1uV/C max.  (Circuit is created by Neil P. Albaugh  TI- Tucson)

Wideband 75MHz 28dB Gain Amplifier

This Wideband 75MHz 28dB Gain Amplifier circuit is based on two OPA355 gain stages in cascade. The dual version, OPA2355, can also be used. An OPA355 achieves low input bias current, +/-50pA MAZ, low voltage noise, 5.8nV/sq-rt Hz typical @ 1MHz, and it has good gain-bandwidth, 200MHz, and high slew rate, 300V/us. To maximize bandwidth in a 2-stage amplifier, each stage should be set to a gain of the square- root of the total cascaded amplifier gain. A triple op amp, OPA3355 can be cascaded to provide even higher BW at the same gain. (Created by Neil P. Albaugh  TI- Tucson)

Avalanche Photodiode Driver

An avalanche photodiode (APD) typically requires a high reverse bias voltage to provide gain. An OPA445 can operate on +/-45V supplies but in this circuit we require only one polarity output voltage so the op amp is operated on assymetrical power supply voltages. This is permissable if the op amp common-mode voltage range is not exceeded. (Circuit is created by Neil P. Albaugh)
