DESIGN-IN TOOLS
DEMONSTRATION FIXTURES
Two printed circuit boards (PCBs) are available to assist
in the initial evaluation of circuit performance using the
OPA832 in its two package options. Both of these are
offered free of charge as unpopulated PCBs, delivered
with a user’s guide. The summary information for these
fixtures is shown in Table 1.

MACROMODEL AND APPLICATIONS
SUPPORT
Computer simulation of circuit performance using
SPICE is often a quick way to analyze the performance
of the OPA832 and its circuit designs. This is particularly
true for video and RF amplifier circuits where parasitic
capacitance and inductance can play a major role on
circuit performance. A SPICE model for the OPA832 is
available through the TI web page (www.ti.com). The
applications group is also available for design assis-
tance. These models predict typical small signal AC,
transient steps, DC performance, and noise under a
wide variety of operating conditions. The models in-
clude the noise terms found in the electrical specifica-
tions of the data sheet. These models do not attempt to
distinguish between the package types in their small-
signal AC performance.
GAIN OF +2V/V VIDEO LINE DRIVER
One of the most suitable applications for the OPA832
is a simple gain of +2 video line driver. Figure 4 shows
how simple this circuit is to implement, shown as a ±5V
implementation. Single +5V operation is similar with
blocking caps and DC common-mode biasing provided.

Figure 4. Gain of +2V/V Video Line Driver
One optional element is shown in Figure 4. A 1.3kΩ
pull-down to the negative supply will improve the differ-
ential phase significantly and the differential gain slight-
ly. Figure 5 shows measured dG/dP with and without
that pull-down resistor from 1 to 4 video loads.
