GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP249 is a high speed, precision dual JFET op amp, similar to the popular single op amp, the OP42. The OP249 outperforms available dual amplifiers by providing superior speed with
excellent dc performance. Ultrahigh open-loop gain (1 kV/mV
minimum), low offset voltage, and superb gain linearity makes
the OP249 the industry’s first true precision, dual high speed
amplifier.
With a slew rate of 22 V/µs typical and a fast settling time of less
than 1.2 µs maximum to 0.01%, the OP249 is an ideal choice

for high speed bipolar D/A and A/D converter applications. The
excellent dc performance of the OP249 allows the full accuracy
of high resolution CMOS D/As to be realized.
Symmetrical slew rate, even when driving large load, such as,
600 Ω or 200 pF of capacitance and ultralow distortion, make
the OP249 ideal for professional audio applications, active
filters, high speed integrators, servo systems, and buffer amplifiers.
The OP249 provides significant performance upgrades to the
TL072, AD712, OP215, MC34082, and the LT1057.

accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the OP249 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The OP249 represents a reliable JFET amplifier design, featuring an excellent combination of dc precision and high speed. A
rugged output stage provides the ability to drive a 600 Ω load
V
OUT
and still maintain a clean ac response. The OP249 features a large
signal response that is more linear and symmetric than previously available JFET input amplifiers—compare the OP249’s
large-signal response, as illustrated in Figure 6, to other industry standard dual JFET amplifiers.
Typically, JFET amplifier’s stewing performance is simply specified
as just a number of volts/µs. There is no discussion on the quality,
i.e., linearity, symmetry, etc., of the stewing response.

OP249
The OP249 was carefully designed to provide symmetrically
matched slew characteristics in both the negative and positive
directions, even when driving a large output load.
An amplifier’s slewing limitation determines the maximum
frequency at which a sinusoidal output can be obtained without
significant distortion. It is, however, important to note that the
nonsymmetric stewing typical of previously available JFET
amplifiers adds a higher series of harmonic energy content to
the resulting response—and an additional dc output component.
Examples of potential problems of nonsymmetric slewing
behavior could be in audio amplifier applications, where a natural
low distortion sound quality is desired, and in servo or signal
processing systems where a net dc offset cannot be tolerated.
The linear and symmetric stewing feature of the OP249 makes
it an ideal choice for applications that will exceed the full-power
bandwidth range of the amplifier.

As with most JFET-input amplifiers, the output of the OP249
may undergo phase inversion if either input exceeds the specified input voltage range. Phase inversion will not damage the
amplifier, nor will it cause an internal latch-up condition.
Supply decoupling should be used to overcome inductance and
resistance associated with supply lines to the amplifier. A 0.1 µF
and a 10 µF capacitor should be placed between each supply
pin and ground.
OPEN-LOOP GAIN LINEARITY
The OP249 has both an extremely high open-loop gain of
1 kV/mV minimum and constant gain linearity. This feature of
the OP249 enhances its dc precision, and provides superb accuracy in high closed-loop gain applications. Figure 8 illustrates
the typical open-loop gain linearity—high gain accuracy is assured,
even when driving a 600 Ω load.
OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The inherent low offset voltage of the OP249 will make offset
adjustments unnecessary in most applications. However, where
a lower offset error is required, balancing can be performed with
simple external circuitry, as illustrated in Figures 9 and 10.

Configuration
In Figure 9, the offset adjustment is made by supplying a small
voltage at the noninverting input of the amplifier. Resistors R1
and R2 attenuates the pot voltage, providing a ±2.5 mV (with
= ±15 V) adjustment range, referred to the input. Figure 10
V
S
illustrates offset adjust for the noninverting amplifier configuration, also providing a ±2.5 mV adjustment range. As indicated
in the equations in Figure 10, if R4 is not much greater than R2,
there will be a resulting closed-loop gain error that must be
accounted for.

SETTLING TIME
Settling time is the time between when the input signal begins
to change and when the output permanently enters a prescribed
error band. The error bands on the output are 5 mV and 0.5 mV,
respectively, for 0.1% and 0.01% accuracy.
Figure 11 illustrates the OP249’s typical settling time of 870 ns.
Moreover, problems in settling response, such as thermal tails
and long-term ringing are nonexistent.

Figure 11. Settling Characteristics of the OP249 to 0.01%
DAC OUTPUT AMPLIFIER
Unity-gain stability, a low offset voltage of 300 µV typical, and a
fast settling time of 870 ns to 0.01%, makes the OP249 an ideal
amplifier for fast digital-to-analog converters.
For CMOS DAC applications, the low offset voltage of the
OP249 results in excellent linearity performance. CMOS DACs,
such as the PM-7545, will typically have a code-dependent
output resistance variation between 11 kΩ and 33 kΩ. The
change in output resistance, in conjunction with the 11 kΩ
feedback resistor, will result in a noise gain change. This causes
variations in the offset error, increasing linearity errors. The
OP249 features low offset voltage error, minimizing this effect
and maintaining 12-bit linearity performance over the full-scale
range of the converter.
Since the DAC’s output capacitance appears at the operational
amplifiers inputs, it is essential that the amplifier is adequately
compensated. Compensation will increase the phase margin,
and ensure an optimal overall settling response. The required
lead compensation is achieved with Capacitor C in Figure 12.

the output response of the circuit in Figure 12a. Compensation
is required to address the combined effect of the DAC’s output
capacitance, the op amp’s input capacitance and any stray capacitance. Slight adjustments to the compensation capacitor may be
required to optimize settling response for any given application.
The settling time of the combination of the current output DAC
and the op amp can be approximated by:
tSTOTAL = (tSDAC )2+(tSAMP )
2
The actual overall settling time is affected by the noise gain of
the amplifier, the applied compensation, and the equivalent
input capacitance at the amplifier’s input.
DISCUSSION ON DRIVING A/D CONVERTERS
Settling characteristics of operational amplifiers also include an
amplifier’s ability to recover, i.e., settle, from a transient current
output load condition. An example of this includes an op amp
driving the input from a SAR type A/D converter. Although the
comparison point of the converter is usually diode clamped, the
input swing of plus-and-minus a diode drop still gives rise to a
significant modulation of input current. If the closed-loop output
impedance is low enough and bandwidth of the amplifier is
sufficiently large, the output will settle before the converter
makes a comparison decision which will prevent linearity errors
or missing codes.
Figure 14 shows a settling measurement circuit for evaluating
recovery from an output current transient. An output disturbing
current generator provides the transient change in output
load current of 1 mA. As seen in Figure 15, the OP249 has
extremely fast recovery of 274 ns (to 0.01%), for a 1 mA load
transient. The performance makes it an ideal amplifier for

The combination of high speed and excellent dc performance of
the OP249 makes it an ideal amplifier for 12-bit data acquisition
systems. Examining the circuit in Figure 16, one amplifier in the
OP249 provides a stable –5 V reference voltage for the V
of the ADC912. The other amplifier in the OP249 performs
high speed buffering of the A/D’s input.
Examining the worst case transient voltage error (Figure 17) at
the Analog In node of the A/D converter: the OP249 recovers in
less than 100 ns. The fast recovery is due to both the OP249’s
wide bandwidth and low dc output impedance.

OP249 SPICE MACRO-MODEL
Figures 18 and Table I show the node and net list for a SPICE
macromodel of the OP249 The model is a simplified version of
the actual device and simulates important dc parameters such as
, IOS, IB, AVO, CMR, VO and ISY. AC parameters such as slew

The model uses typical parameters for the OP249. The poles
and zeros in the model were determined from the actual open
and closed-loop gain and phase response of the OP249. In this
way, the model presents an accurate ac representation of the actual
device. The model assumes an ambient temperature of 25°C.
