With no increase in power consumption the decompensated
op amp offers faster speed than the compensated equivalent
part . These examples used R
enough to be easily driven by the LMP7717/LMP7718, yet
small enough to minimize the effects from the parasitic ca-
pacitance of both the PCB and the op amp.
Note: When using the LMP7717/LMP7718, proper high fre-
quency PCB layout must be followed. The GBW of these parts
is 88 MHz, making the PCB layout significantly more critical
than when using the compensated counterparts which have
a GBW of 17 MHz.
TRANSIMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER
An excellent application for either the LMP7717 or the
LMP7718 is as a transimpedance amplifier. With a GBW
product of 88 MHz these parts are ideal for high speed data
transmission by light. The circuit shown on the front page of
the
LMP7717/LMP7718 as transimpedance amplifiers. The only
change is that V
tion of the diode is reversed from the circuit shown on the front
page.
Very high speed components were used in testing to check
the limits of the LMP7717/LMP7718 in a transimpedance
configuration. The photodiode part number is PIN-HR040
from OSI Optoelectronics. The diode capacitance for this part
is only about 7 pF for the 2.5V bias used (V
ground). The rise time for this diode is 1 nsec. A laser diode
was used for the light source. Laser diodes have on and off
times under 5 nsec. The speed of the selected optical com-
ponents allowed an accurate evaluation of the LMP7717 as
a transimpedance amplifier. Nationals evaluation board for
decompensated op amps, PN 551013271-001 A, was used
and only minor modifications were necessary and no traces
had to be cut.
