3 Description

The OPA814 is a unity-gain stable, voltage-feedback

operational amplifier for high-speed, high-precision,

and wide-dynamic-range applications.

The OPA814 has a low-noise junction gate field-effect

transistor (JFET) input stage that features a wide gain

bandwidth of 250 MHz and a supply range from 6 V to

12.6 V. The fast slew rate of 750 V/μs allows a wide

large-signal bandwidth and low distortion when used

as high impedance buffer in high-speed digitizers,

active probes, and other test and measurement

applications.

The OPA814 offers extremely low input offset

voltage of ±250 μV and offset voltage drift of

±3.5-μV/°C. The combination of picoamperes of

input bias current and low input voltage noise

(5.3 nV/√Hz) makes the OPA814 an excellent

wideband transimpedance amplifier in optical test and

communication equipment, as well as medical and

scientific instrumentation.

The OPA814 is available in an 8-pin SOIC package.

This device is specified to operate over the industrial

temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.
