WIDEBAND INVERTING OPERATION
Operating the OPA698 as an inverting amplifier has several
benefits and is particularly useful when a matched 50Ω
source and input impedance are required. Figure 3 shows
the inverting gain of –2 circuit used as the basis of the
inverting mode typical characteristics.
As the required R
G
resistor approaches 50Ω at higher gains,
the bandwidth for the circuit in Figure 3 will far exceed the
bandwidth at that same gain magnitude for the noninverting
circuit of Figure 1. This occurs due to the lower noise gain for
the circuit of Figure 3 when the 50Ω source impedance is
included in the analysis. For instance, at a signal gain of –8
(R
G
= 50Ω, R
M
= open, R
F
= 402Ω) the noise gain for the
circuit of Figure 3 will be 1 + 402Ω/(50Ω + 50Ω) = 5 due to
the addition of the 50Ω source in the noise gain equation.
This approach gives considerably higher bandwidth than the
noninverting gain of +8. Using the 250MHz gain bandwidth
product for the OPA698, an inverting gain of –8 from a 50Ω
source to a 50Ω R
G
will give 52MHz bandwidth, whereas
the noninverting gain of +8 will give 28MHz, as shown in
Figure 4.

LIMITED OUTPUT, ADC INPUT DRIVER
Figure 5 shows a simple ADC driver that operates on a single
supply, and gives excellent distortion performance. The limit
voltages track the input range of the converter, completely
protecting against input overdrive. Note that the limiting
voltages have been set 100mV above/below the correspond-
ing reference voltage from the converter.

50Ω Source
In the inverting case, only the feedback resistor appears as
part of the total output load in parallel with the actual load.
For a 500Ω load used in the typical characteristics, this gives
a total load of 222Ω in this inverting configuration. The gain
resistor is set to get the desired gain (in this case, 200Ω for
a gain of –2) while an additional input resistor (R
M
) can be
used to set the total input impedance equal to the source, if
desired. In this case, R
M
= 66.5Ω in parallel with the 200Ω
gain setting resistor gives a matched input impedance of
50Ω. This matching is only needed when the input needs to
be matched to a source impedance, as in the characteriza-
tion testing done using the circuit of Figure 3.
For bias current-cancellation matching, the noninverting in-
put requires a 147Ω resistor to ground. The calculation for
this resistor includes a DC-coupled 50Ω source impedance
along with R
G
and R
M
. Although this resistor will provide
cancellation for the bias current, it must be well-decoupled
(0.1µF in Figure 3) to filter the noise contribution of the
resistor and the input current noise.
