7 Detailed Description

7.1 OverviewThe OPA857 provides a unique combination of low-noise, high-bandwidth, and high-transimpedance gain. Theamplifier is optimized to achieve greater than 100-MHz bandwidth on either the 5-kΩ or 20-kΩ transimpedancegain for the lowest possible RMS noise on the output for a targeted low input capacitance of1.5 pF. Note that this 1.5-pF capacitance includes the board parasitic; thus, great attention must be placed onminimizing stray capacitance in the layout. This value is selected because the device is expected to be driven bya photodiode with biasing high enough to include the photodiode capacitance contribution betweenapproximately 0.5 pF and 0.7 pF, leaving between 0.8 pF to 1 pF for the external parasitic.

The OPA857 is a dedicated transimpedance amplifier with a pseudo-differential output. A block diagram isprovided in the Functional Block Diagram section.

There are four distinct blocks in this diagram: a transimpedance amplifier (TIA), a reference voltage (REF), a teststructure (TEST), and an internal clamping circuit (CLAMP).

The TIA block of the Functional Block Diagram includes two selectable gain configurations: RF1 and RF2. For a500-Ω load, including the GND alternatives resulting from the internal 25-Ω series resistor on each output, theresulting gain is 4.5 kΩ or 18.2 kΩ. The TIA block is designed to provide excellent bandwidth (> 100 MHz) in bothgain configurations with the lowest possible RMS noise over the entire bandwidth. This level of performance isachieved by minimizing the noise gain peaking at higher frequencies. The noise gain peaking resulting fromfeedback and source capacitance is the main noise contributor in high-speed transimpedance amplifiers.

The reference voltage block of the Functional Block Diagram has several purposes: this block provides anadequate dc reference voltage to the input, and provides a dc reference at the output (thus allowing the dc-coupled solution to interface to a fully-differential signal chain). The CMRR provided by the fully-differential signalchain reduces any feedthrough from the OPA857 power supply, thereby increasing the PSRR of the amplifier.

The test structure block is available on the pinout, but the main purpose of this structure is to allow the devicecharacterization to proceed as smoothly as possible.

The internal clamping circuit block and ESD diodes on the IN pin are used for internal protection and to makesure that the amplifier can recover quickly after saturation.

These blocks are each described in further detail in the Feature Description section.

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) BlockThe amplifier of the TIA block has a class-A output stage, which limits its usable swing from the common-modevoltage of 1.83 V to the negative rail. Because the internal protection allows excellent overdrive recovery, thenegative swing cannot go closer than 0.6 V to the rail. The resulting output dynamic range of the OPA857 on a3.3-V supply is 1.2 V. This 1.2-V swing corresponds to a maximum input current of 60 µA in the high-gainconfiguration, and 240 µA in the low-gain configuration. A 25-Ω series resistor between the internal output of theTIA block and OUT (pin 8) limits the amplifier load during short-circuit conditions. A similar 25-Ω series resistoralso exists between the output of the reference voltage amplifier and OUTN (pin 5). The internal resistors onOUT and OUTN reduce the overall gain of the OPA857. With a 500-Ω differential load, the attenuation resultingfrom the load is 0.83 dB, which affects the overall transimpedance gain. Because of the load attenuation, the 20-kΩ transimpedance gain is reduced to an effective 18.2 kΩ, while the 5-kΩ internal resistor gain is reduced to aneffective 4.5-kΩ internal resistor.

7.3.2 Reference Voltage (REF) BlockThe reference output voltage is set to be 5/9th of the power supply. Thus, for a single 3.3-V supply, the referencevoltage is 1.83 V. A wideband amplifier with low output impedance to high frequencies is used in the referencevoltage block. The amplifier output drives two paths: the first path drives the output (OUTN) through a 25-Ωseries resistor, while the second path drives the noninverting input of the TIA block. The output from the secondpath is filtered through an RC filter in order to reduce the noise contribution from the reference block.

7.3.3 Integrated Test Structure (TEST) BlockIn order to evaluate the low input capacitance condition on the input of the OPA857, simply evaluate the OPA857performance without the photodiode. An integrated voltage-to-current conversion is implemented and can beaccessed with the use of Test_SD (pin 13) and Test_IN (pin 14). This V-to-I converter structure is represented inFigure 37. If required, a capacitor can be added to IN (pin 15) to match the target input capacitance duringnormal operation with an external photodiode. The test structure in Figure 37 allows for the evaluation of theOPA857 as a TIA using standard lab equipment, such as function generators and network analyzers.

Feature Description (continued)

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratingsonly, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operatingconditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

7.3.4 Internal Clamping Circuit (CLAMP) BlockThe OPA857 is built using a very high-speed, complementary, BICMOS process. The internal junctionbreakdown voltages are relatively low for these very small geometry devices. These breakdowns are reflected inthe Absolute Maximum Ratings (1) table. All device pins are protected with internal ESD protection diodes to thepower supplies, as shown in Figure 38.

Figure 38. Internal ESD Protection

These diodes provide moderate protection to input overdrive voltages above the supplies as well. The protectiondiodes can typically support 30-mA continuous current. Use additional external low-capacitance protection wherehigher currents are possible.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

7.4.1 Gain ControlThe device transimpedance gain is controlled with the CTRL pin. Setting the CTRL pin high results in selectingthe high-gain configuration. Setting the CTRL pin low results in selecting the low-gain configuration, as describedin Table 1.

Table 1. Gain Control Logic TableGAIN CTRL (Pin 2)5 kΩ Logic 0 (GND)

20 kΩ Logic 1 (+VS)

7.4.2 Test ModeThe OPA857 operates in normal mode when the input is driven by a photodiode. In test mode, the test structuredescribed in the Integrated Test Structure (TEST) Block section is used to emulate a photodiode using a voltageinput. Table 2 describes how to configure the OPA857 in each mode.

Table 2. Mode ConfigurationMODE Test_IN PIN CONNECTED TO Test_SD PIN CONNECTED TO

Normal mode +VS GND

Test mode AC-coupled input using a series cap ordc-coupled signal on a 2.1-V (approx) offset voltage +VS

Set an adequate dc voltage at the input to make sure that the output is operating within normal operation. Atminimum, the output of the TIA block must be set to 5/9th of the supply voltage in preparation for a pulseconfiguration. For sine-wave operation, as required when measuring a frequency response, set the dc voltage onthe OUT pin to allow the full sine-wave amplitude and avoid clipping. In such a case, the OUT pin voltage is setlower than 5/9th of the supply voltage.

Note that the 2-kΩ internal resistance used for the V-to-I conversion is not trimmed and can vary ±15% withprocess. Therefore, the source must be capable of sourcing both dc and ac voltages to make sure that the outputvoltage swing is compliant with the class-A output stage of the TIA block. Any change in the test circuitconfiguration (such as gain change) requires a new calibration of the internal V-to-I converter.

Again if a photodiode is used, the internal V-to-I converter must be shut off completely. Failure to do so results indegraded performance and higher than normal quiescent current.

8 Application and Implementation

NOTEInformation in the following applications sections is not part of the TI componentspecification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers areresponsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers shouldvalidate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application InformationThe OPA857 is a transimpedance amplifier offering two selectable gains. This device is used in conjunction witha photodiode at its input. The output is pseudo differential and may or may not require the use of a fullydifferential amplifier, depending on the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) used for implementation.

The OPA857 requires a photodiode to be connected to the positive bias voltage because the output voltage canonly swing down from the reference voltage (1.85 V for a 3.3-V supply) to ground.

8.2 Typical Application

8.2.1 TIA With Associated Signal ChainFigure 39 presents a complete end-to-end receive signal chain for an optical input. It includes a high-speedphotodiode, the OPA857, a THS4541 fully-differential amplifier, and a 16-bit, 160-MSPS, high-speed ADC.

Table 3. Design ParametersDESIGN PARAMETER EXAMPLE VALUE

Supply voltage 5-V external supplyAnalog bandwidth 120 MHzADC sampling rate 160 MSPS

Maximum system gain 100 kΩProgrammable transimpedance gain 5 kΩ / 20 kΩ

Maximum signal swing 1 VPP

Noise performance ≥ 60-dB SNRAveraged noise performance < 10-µVRMS

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure1. Use a high-speed, low input capacitance photodiode, such as the NR7500 or NR8300, as the front-end

optical sensor. Take care during layout to minimize parasitic capacitance added because of the PCB.2. Bias the photodiode with the cathode connected to a positive supply, and the anode connected to IN pin of

the OPA857. These connections make sure that the photodiode sources an output current that results in theOPA857 output swinging down below the reference voltage = (5 / 9) × 3.3 V = 1.83 V.

3. Disable the OPA857 test mode by setting Test_IN = +VS and Test_SD = GND. The transimpedance gain isselected by setting CTRL = +VS (gain = 20 kΩ) or CTRL = GND (gain = 5 kΩ).

4. The THS4541 is configured in a gain of 5 V/V in order to achieve a maximum signal transimpedance gain of100 kΩ. It is important to carefully select the value of the RG gain resistors for the THS4541.

5. Setting RG very low increases the resistive loading on the previous OPA857 output stage, and reduces thebandwidth of the OPA857.

6. Setting RG very high results in a large value of feedback resistance, RF, on the THS4541 in order to achievethe desired 5V/V gain. RF interacts with the input capacitance of the THS4541 to create a zero in the noise-gain response of the amplifier, and if not properly compensated, results in reduced phase-margin andpotential instability.

7. A value of RG = 374 Ω was selected that results in a total differential load of 798 Ω on the OPA857. Theresultant RF = 2 kΩ.

8. The response to an optical pulsed input is shown in Figure 40 to Figure 43. To prevent signal reflectionsbetween the THS4541 output and the ADC34J45 input, the signal is doubly terminated through 50-Ωresistors. If the THS4541 and ADC34J45 are physically close together on the PCB, then the double-termination is eliminated, which increases the overall gain of the signal chain without affecting the transientresponse of the system. These results were verified, and the complete data is available in reference designTIDA-00725.

9. An optional antialiasing filter can be added between the THS4541 and the ADC34J45 to reduce systemnoise caused by aliasing.

8.2.2 Extending Transimpedance BandwidthAt the core of the OPA857 is an ultrawide bandwidth op amp. One of the highlights of the OPA857 is therelatively small change in the transimpedance bandwidth as a function of the internal gain selected; 130 MHz(gain = 5 kΩ) and 105 MHz (gain = 20 kΩ). Theoretically, for a four times increase in gain, the bandwidth shouldreduce by two times; however, as observed in the case of the OPA857, the results do not follow theory. For moreinformation on the various factors that contribute to an amplifier frequency-response performance whenconfigured as a TIA, see What You Need To Know About Transimpedance Amplifiers – Part 1 on the TI E2ECommunity website at e2e.ti.com. This blog also contains a reference to an excel calculator to simplify TIAdesigns when using discrete opamps. The OPA857 is unique in displaying this type of behavior because theCTRL logic controls an internal switch in the amplifier core that recompensates the amplifier open-loop gaincharacteristic depending upon the logic level. In this application, it it shown how the closed-loop transimpedancebandwidth can be increased to greater than 250 MHz. The circuit used for this test is shown in Figure 44. Anexternal feedback resistor, RF, is added in parallel to the internal transimpedance gain resistors of the OPA857.This resistor has the effect of reducing the overall transimpedance gain, but with increased bandwidth.

8.2.2.2 Application CurvesFigure 45 shows the frequency response with a feedback resistance of 6.8 kΩ and an output load of 500 Ω. Thelarge amount of peaking indicates a low phase-margin and potential instability. Next, a 0.1-pF feedbackcapacitor, CF, is added in parallel to the 6.8-kΩ RF. Both RF and CF interact to create pole in the noise gain curvethat counteracts the effect of the zero caused by RF, and the total input capacitance at pin IN of the OPA857.The input capacitance is caused by the opamps inherent input capacitance, the photodiode capacitance, and theparasitic input capacitance from the PCB. The pole zero cancellation increases the phase margin, as is evident inthe reduced peaking shown in Figure 46. In Figure 47, an output load of 1 kΩ was used, along with an RF = 6.8kΩ and CF = 0.1 pF. The reduced load helps to increase the op amp open-loop gain, which in turn increases theclosed-loop bandwidth of the OPA857 circuit.

9 Power-Supply RecommendationsUse a linear power supply with good PSRR. For a good, high-frequency, power-supply bypass, use a ceramiccapacitor connected as close as possible to the +VS pin.

10 Layout

10.1 Layout GuidelinesAchieving optimum performance with a high-frequency amplifier such as the OPA857 requires careful attention toboard layout parasitics and external component types. Recommendations that optimize performance include:a. Minimize parasitic capacitance to any ac ground for all signal I/O pins. Parasitic capacitance on the

inverting input pin can cause instability. To reduce unwanted capacitance, open a window around the signalI/O pins in all ground and power planes around those pins. Otherwise, make sure that ground and powerplanes are unbroken elsewhere on the board.

b. Minimize the distance (< 0.25") from the power-supply pins to high-frequency 0.1-µF decoupling capacitors,as shown in Figure 48. At the device pins, make sure that the ground and power-plane layout are not inclose proximity to the signal I/O pins. Avoid narrow power and ground traces to minimize inductance betweenthe pins and decoupling capacitors. Always decouple the power-supply connections with these capacitors.An optional supply decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) across the two power supplies (for bipolar operation)improves second-harmonic distortion performance. Use larger (2.2 µF to 6.8 µF) decoupling capacitors,effective at lower frequencies, on the main supply pins. These capacitors can be placed somewhat fartherfrom the device and can be shared among several devices in the same area of the PC board.

c. Careful selection and placement of external components preserves the high-frequency performanceof the OPA857. Use very low reactance type resistors. Surface-mount resistors function best and allow atighter overall layout. Metal-film or carbon composition, axially-leaded resistors also provide good high-frequency performance. Again, keep the leads and PC board traces as short as possible. Never usewirewound type resistors in a high-frequency application.

d. Connections to other wideband devices on the board can be made with short, direct traces or throughonboard transmission lines. For short connections, consider the trace and the input to the next device as alumped capacitive load. Use relatively wide traces (50 mils to 100 mils), preferably with ground and powerplanes opened up around them.

e. Do not socket a high-speed part such as the OPA857. The additional lead length and pin-to-pincapacitance introduced by the socket can create an extremely troublesome parasitic network that makesachieving a smooth, stable frequency response almost impossible. Best results are obtained by soldering theOPA857 onto the board.

11.1.1 Development Support

11.1.1.1 Evaluation ModuleAn evaluation module (EVM) is available to assist in the initial circuit performance evaluation using the OPA857.The summary information for this fixture is shown in Table 5.

Table 5. EVM Ordering InformationPRODUCT PACKAGE ORDERING NUMBER LITERATURE NUMBER

OPA857IRGT RGT OPA857EVM SBOU138

The EVM can be requested at the Texas Instruments web site (www.ti.com) through the OPA857 product folder.

11.1.1.2 Spice ModelComputer simulation of circuit performance using spice is often useful when analyzing the performance of analogcircuits and systems. The previous statement is particularly true for transimpedance applications where parasiticcapacitance and inductance can have a major effect on circuit performance. A spice model for the OPA857 isavailable through the OPA857 product folder under simulation models. These models do a good job of predictingsmall-signal ac and transient performance under a wide variety of operating conditions. These models, however,do not do as well in predicting harmonic distortion.
