GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP275 is the first amplifier to feature the Butler Amplifier
front-end. This new front-end design combines both bipolar
and JFET transistors to attain amplifiers with the accuracy and
low noise performance of bipolar transistors, and the speed and
sound quality of JFETs. Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise
equals that of previous audio amplifiers, but at much lower
supply currents.
A very low l/f corner of below 6 Hz maintains a flat noise density
response. Whether noise is measured at either 30 Hz or 1 kHz,
it is only 6 nV/÷Hz. The JFET portion of the input stage gives
the OP275 its high slew rates to keep distortion low, even when
large output swings are required, and the 22 V/ms slew rate of the
OP275 is the fastest of any standard audio amplifier. Best of all,
this low noise and high speed are accomplished using less than
5 mA of supply current, lower than any standard audio amplifier.

Improved dc performance is also provided with bias and offset
currents greatly reduced over purely bipolar designs. Input
offset voltage is guaranteed at 1 mV and is typically less than
200 mV. This allows the OP275 to be used in many dc coupled
or summing applications without the need for special selections
or the added noise of additional offset adjustment circuitry.
The output is capable of driving 600 W loads to 10 V rms while
maintaining low distortion. THD + Noise at 3 V rms is a low
0.0006%.
The OP275 is specified over the extended industrial (–40∞C to
+85∞C) temperature range. OP275s are available in both plastic
DIP and SOIC-8 packages. SOIC-8 packages are available in
2500 piece reels. Many audio amplifiers are not offered in SOIC-8
surface mount packages for a variety of reasons; however, the
OP275 was designed so that it would offer full performance in
surface-mount packaging.

APPLICATIONS
Circuit Protection
OP275 has been designed with inherent short circuit protection
to ground. An internal 30 W resistor, in series with the output,
limits the output current at room temperature to I
– = –90 mA, typically, with ±15 V supplies.
and I
SC
+ = 40 mA
SC
However, shorts to either supply may destroy the device when
excessive voltages or currents are applied. If it is possible for a
user to short an output to a supply, for safe operation, the output current of the OP275 should be design-limited to ±30 mA,
as shown in Figure 1.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise (THD + N) of the OP275
is well below 0.001% with any load down to 600 W. However,
this is dependent upon the peak output swing. In Figure 2, the
THD + Noise with 3 V rms output is below 0.001%. In Figure 3,
THD + Noise is below 0.001% for the 10 kW and 2 kW loads but
increases to above 0.1% for the 600 W load condition. This is a
result of the output swing capability of the OP275. Notice the
results in Figure 4, showing THD versus V
(V rms). This
IN
figure shows that the THD + Noise remains very low until the
output reaches 9.5 V rms. This performance is similar to competitive products.

The output of the OP275 is designed to maintain low harmonic
distortion while driving 600 W loads. However, driving 600 W
loads with very high output swings results in higher distortion if
clipping occurs. A common example of this is in attempting to
drive 10 V rms into any load with ±15 V supplies. Clipping will
occur and distortion will be very high. To attain low harmonic
distortion with large output swings, supply voltages may be
increased. Figure 5 shows the performance of the OP275 driving 600 W loads with supply voltages varying from ±18 V to ± 20 V.
Notice that with ±18 V supplies the distortion is fairly high,
while with ±20 V supplies it is a very low 0.0007%.

Noise Testing
For audio applications, the noise density is usually the most
important noise parameter. For characterization, the OP275 is
tested using an Audio Precision, System One. The input signal
to the Audio Precision must be amplified enough to measure it
accurately. For the OP275, the noise is gained by approximately
1020 using the circuit shown in Figure 7. Any readings on the
Audio Precision must then be divided by the gain. In implementing this test fixture, good supply bypassing is essential.

Input Overcurrent Protection
The maximum input differential voltage that can be applied to
the OP275 is determined by a pair of internal Zener diodes
connected across its inputs. They limit the maximum differential
input voltage to ±7.5 V. This is to prevent emitter-base junction
breakdown from occurring in the input stage of the OP275 when
very large differential voltages are applied. However, to preserve
the OP275’s low input noise voltage, internal resistances in series
with the inputs were not used to limit the current in the clamp
diodes. In small signal applications, this is not an issue; however,
in applications where large differential voltages can be inadvertently applied to the device, large transient currents can flow
through these diodes. Although these diodes have been designed
to carry a current of ±5 mA, external resistors as shown in Figure 8
should be used in the event that the OP275’s differential voltage
were to exceed ±7.5 V.

Output Voltage Phase Reversal
Since the OP275’s input stage combines bipolar transistors for
low noise and p-channel JFETs for high speed performance, the
output voltage of the OP275 may exhibit phase reversal if either
of its inputs exceeds its negative common-mode input voltage.
This might occur in very severe industrial applications where a
sensor, or system, fault might apply very large voltages on the
inputs of the OP275. Even though the input voltage range of the
OP275 is ±10.5 V, an input voltage of approximately –13.5 V
will cause output voltage phase reversal. In inverting amplifier
configurations, the OP275’s internal 7.5 V input clamping diodes
will prevent phase reversal; however, they will not prevent this
effect from occurring in noninverting applications. For these
applications, the fix is a simple one and is illustrated in Figure 9.
A 3.92 kW resistor in series with the noninverting input of the
OP275 cures the problem.

Overload, or Overdrive, Recovery
Overload, or overdrive, recovery time of an operational amplifier
is the time required for the output voltage to recover to a rated
output voltage from a saturated condition. This recovery time is
important in applications where the amplifier must recover quickly
after a large abnormal transient event. The circuit shown in Figure 10 was used to evaluate the OP275’s overload recovery time.

Measuring Settling Time
The design of OP275 combines a high slew rate and a wide
gain-bandwidth product to produce a fast-settling (t
< 1 ms)
S
amplifier for 8- and 12-bit applications. The test circuit designed
to measure the settling time of the OP275 is shown in Figure 11.
This test method has advantages over false-sum node techniques
in that the actual output of the amplifier is measured, instead of
an error voltage at the sum node. Common-mode settling effects
are exercised in this circuit in addition to the slew rate and
bandwidth effects measured by the false-sum-node method. Of
course, a reasonably flat-top pulse is required as the stimulus.
The output waveform of the OP275 under test is clamped by
Schottky diodes and buffered by the JFET source follower. The
signal is amplified by a factor of ten by the OP260 and then
Schottky-clamped at the output to prevent overloading the
oscilloscope’s input amplifier. The OP41 is configured as a fast
integrator, which provides overall dc offset nulling.
High Speed Operation
As with most high speed amplifiers, care should be taken with
supply decoupling, lead dress, and component placement. Recommended circuit configurations for inverting and noninverting
applications are shown in Figures 12 and 13.

Attention to Source Impedances Minimizes Distortion
Since the OP275 is a very low distortion amplifier, careful attention should be given to source impedances seen by both inputs.
As with many FET-type amplifiers, the p-channel JFETs in the
OP275’s input stage exhibit a gate-to-source capacitance that
varies with the applied input voltage. In an inverting configuration, the inverting input is held at a virtual ground and, as such,
does not vary with input voltage. Thus, since the gate-to-source
voltage is constant, there is no distortion due to input capacitance modulation. In noninverting applications, however, the
gate-to-source voltage is not constant. The resulting capacitance
modulation can cause distortion above 1 kHz if the input
impedance is greater than 2 kW and unbalanced.
Figure 15 shows some guidelines for maximizing the distortion
performance of the OP275 in noninverting applications. The
best way to prevent unwanted distortion is to ensure that the
parallel combination of the feedback and gain setting resistors

Driving Capacitive Loads
The OP275 was designed to drive both resistive loads to 600 W
and capacitive loads of over 1000 pF and maintain stability.
While there is a degradation in bandwidth when driving capacitive
loads, the designer need not worry about device stability. The
graph in Figure 16 shows the 0 dB bandwidth of the OP275
with capacitive loads from 10 pF to 1000 pF.

High Speed, Low Noise Differential Line Driver
The circuit of Figure 17 is a unique line driver widely used in
industrial applications. With ±18 V supplies, the line driver can
deliver a differential signal of 30 V p-p into a 2.5 kW load. The
high slew rate and wide bandwidth of the OP275 combine to
yield a full power bandwidth of 130 kHz while the low noise
front end produces a referred-to-input noise voltage spectral
density of 10 nV/÷Hz.

Figure 17. High Speed, Low Noise Differential Line Driver
The design is a transformerless, balanced transmission system
where output common-mode rejection of noise is of paramount
importance. Like the transformer based design, either output
can be shorted to ground for unbalanced line driver applications without changing the circuit gain of 1. Other circuit gains
can be set according to the equation in the diagram. This
allows the design to be easily set to noninverting, inverting, or
differential operation.
A 3-Pole, 40 kHz Low-Pass Filter
The closely matched and uniform ac characteristics of the
OP275 make it ideal for use in GIC (Generalized Impedance
Converter) and FDNR (Frequency-Dependent Negative Resistor)
filter applications. The circuit in Figure 18 illustrates a linearphase, 3-pole, 40 kHz low-pass filter using an OP275 as an
inductance simulator (gyrator). The circuit uses one OP275
(A2 and A3) for the FDNR and one OP275 (A1 and A4) as
an input buffer and bias current source for A3. Amplifier A4
is configured in a gain of 2 to set the pass band magnitude
response to 0 dB. The benefits of this filter topology over classical approaches are that the op amp used in the FDNR is not in
the signal path and that the filter’s performance is relatively
insensitive to component variations. Also, the configuration is
such that large signal levels can be handled without overloading
any of the filter’s internal nodes. As shown in Figure 19, the
OP275’s symmetric slew rate and low distortion produce a
clean, well behaved transient response.
