PRODUCTION DATA
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
The OPA4830 is built using a very high-speed, complementary bipolar process. The internal junction breakdown voltages are relatively low for these very small geometry devices. These breakdowns are reflected in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. All device pins are protected with internal ESD protection diodes to the power supplies, as shown in Figure 8-7.

ProtectionThese diodes provide moderate protection to input overdrive voltages above the supplies as well. The protection diodes can typically support 30mA continuous current. Where higher currents are possible (that is, in systems with ±15V supply parts driving into the OPA4830), current-limiting series resistors can be added into the two inputs. Keep these resistor values as low as possible, because high values degrade both noise performance and frequency response.
