The OPA830 provides good distortion performance into a 150Ω load. Relative to alternative solutions, the OPA830 provides exceptional performance into lighter loads, and operating on a single 3V supply. Generally, until the fundamental signal reaches very high frequency or power levels, the 2nd-harmonic dominates the distortion with a negligible 3rd-harmonic component. Focusing then on the 2nd-harmonic, increasing the load impedance improves distortion directly. Remember that the total load includes the feedback network; in the noninverting configuration (see Figure 8-3) this result is the sum of RF + RG, while in the inverting configuration, only RF must be included in parallel with the actual load. Running differential suppresses the 2nd-harmonic (see also the differential typical characteristic curves).
