The OPA600 is a wideband operational amplifier specifically 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 utilizes an FET input stage to give low input bias current. Its DC stability over temperature is outstanding. The slew rate exceeds 400V/ms. 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 maintains this accuracy without droop or thermal tail. External 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 particularly well suited to operate as a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) driver. It makes an excellent digital-to-analog converter output amplifier. It is a workhorse in test equipment where fast pulses, large signals, and 50W 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.
