11.1 Layout Guidelines

Achieving optimum performance with a high-frequency amplifier such as the OPA657 requires careful attention to board layout parasitics and external component types. Recommendations that optimize performance include:

  1. Minimize parasitic capacitance to any AC ground for all of the signal I/O pins. Parasitic capacitance on the output and inverting input pins can cause instability—on the noninverting input, it can react with the source impedance to cause unintentional bandlimiting. To reduce unwanted capacitance, a window around the signal I/O pins should be opened in all of the ground and power planes around those pins. Otherwise, ground and power planes should be unbroken elsewhere on the board.
  2. Minimize the distance (< 0.25") from the power-supply pins to high-frequency 0.1-μF decoupling capacitors. At the device pins, the ground and power-plane layout should not be in close proximity to the signal I/O pins. Avoid narrow power and ground traces to minimize inductance between the pins and the decoupling capacitors. The power-supply connections should always be decoupled with these capacitors. Larger (2.2 μF to 6.8 μF) decoupling capacitors, effective at lower frequency, should also be used on the supply pins. These may be placed somewhat farther from the device and may be shared among several devices in the same area of the PC board.
  3. Careful selection and placement of external components preserve the high-frequency performance of the OPA657. Resistors should be a very low reactance type. Surface-mount resistors work best and allow a tighter overall layout. Metal film and carbon composition axially leaded resistors can also provide good high-frequency performance. Again, keep the leads and PCB trace length as short as possible. Never use wirewound-type resistors in a high-frequency application. Because the output pin and inverting input pin are the most sensitive to parasitic capacitance, always position the feedback and series output resistor, if any, as close as possible to the output pin. Other network components, such as noninverting input termination resistors, should also be placed close to the package. Where double-side component mounting is allowed, place the feedback resistor directly under the package on the other side of the board between the output and inverting input pins. Even with a low parasitic capacitance shunting the external resistors, excessively high resistor values can create significant time constants that can degrade performance. Good axial metal film or surface-mount resistors have approximately 0.2 pF in shunt with the resistor. For resistor values greater than 1.5 kΩ, this parasitic capacitance can add a pole and/or zero below 500 MHz that can effect circuit operation. Keep resistor values as low as possible consistent with load driving considerations. It has been suggested here that a good starting point for design would be to keep RF || RG < 150 Ω for voltage amplifier applications. Doing this automatically keeps the resistor noise terms low, and minimizes the effect of the parasitic capacitance. Transimpedance applications (see Figure 34) can use whatever feedback resistor is required by the application as long as the feedback-compensation capacitor is set considering all parasitic capacitance terms on the inverting node.
  4. Connections to other wideband devices on the board may be made with short direct traces or through onboard transmission lines. For short connections, consider the trace and the input to the next device as a lumped capacitive load. Relatively wide traces (50 mils to 100 mils) should be used, preferably with ground and power planes opened up around them. Estimate the total capacitive load and set RS from the plot of Recommended RS vs Capacitive Load (Figure 17). Low parasitic capacitive loads (< 5 pF) may not need an RS because the OPA657 is nominally compensated to operate with a 2-pF parasitic load. Higher parasitic capacitive loads without an RS are allowed as the signal gain increases (increasing the unloaded phase margin). If a long trace is required, and the 6-dB signal loss intrinsic to a doubly-terminated transmission line is acceptable, implement a matched-impedance transmission line using microstrip or stripline techniques (consult an ECL design handbook for microstrip and stripline layout techniques). A 50-Ω environment is normally not necessary onboard, and in fact a higher impedance environment improves distortion, as shown in the distortion versus load plots. With a characteristic board trace impedance defined based on board material and trace dimensions, a matching series resistor into the trace from the output of the OPA657 is used as well as a terminating shunt resistor at the input of the destination device. Remember also that the terminating impedance is the parallel combination of the shunt resistor and the input impedance of the destination device—this total effective impedance should be set to match the trace impedance. If the 6-dB attenuation of a doubly-terminated transmission line is unacceptable, a long trace can be series-terminated at the source end only. Treat the trace as a capacitive load in this case and set the series resistor value as shown in the plot of RS vs Capacitive Load. This does not preserve signal integrity as well as a doubly-terminated line. If the input impedance of the destination device is low, there will be some signal attenuation due to the voltage divider formed by the series output into the terminating impedance.
  5. Socketing a high-speed part like the OPA657 is not recommended. The additional lead length and pin-to-pin capacitance introduced by the socket can create an extremely troublesome parasitic network which can make it almost impossible to achieve a smooth, stable frequency response. Best results are obtained by soldering the OPA657 onto the board.

11.1.1 Demonstration Fixtures

Two printed circuit boards (PCBs) are available to assist in the initial evaluation of circuit performance using the OPA657 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 2.

11.3 Thermal Considerations

The OPA657 does not require heatsinking or airflow in most applications. Maximum desired junction temperature sets the maximum allowed internal power dissipation as described below. In no case should the maximum junction temperature be allowed to exceed +175°C.

Operating junction temperature (TJ) is given by TA + PD × θJA. The total internal power dissipation (PD) is the sum of quiescent power (PDQ) and additional power dissipated in the output stage (PDL) to deliver load power. Quiescent power is simply the specified no-load supply current times the total supply voltage across the part. PDL depends on the required output signal and load but will—for a grounded resistive load—be at a maximum when the output is fixed at a voltage equal to 1/2 of either supply voltage (for equal bipolar supplies). Under this condition PDL = VS 2 / (4 × RL) where RL includes feedback network loading.

It is the power in the output stage and not into the load that determines internal power dissipation.

As a worst-case example, compute the maximum TJ using an OPA657N (SOT23-5 package) in the circuit of Figure 29 operating at the maximum specified ambient temperature of +85°C and driving a grounded 100-Ω load.
