Low-Power Applications and the Effects of Resistor Values on Bandwidth

The OPA835 and OPA2835 devices are designed for the nominal value of RF to be 2 kΩ in gains other than +1. This gives excellent distortion performance, maximum bandwidth, best flatness, and best pulse response. It also loads the amplifier. For example; in gain of 2 with RF = RG = 2 kΩ, RG to ground, and VOUT = 4 V, 1 mA of current will flow through the feedback path to ground. In gain of +1, RG is open and no current will flow to ground. In low-power applications, it is desirable to reduce the current in the feedback path by increasing the gain-setting resistors values. Using larger value gain resistors has two primary side effects (other than lower power) due to their interaction with parasitic circuit capacitance.

  • Lowers the bandwidth
  • Lowers the phase margin
    • This causes peaking in the frequency response
    • This causes overshoot and ringing in the pulse response

Figure 8-3 shows the small-signal frequency response on OPA835EVM for noninverting gain of 2 with RF and RG equal to 2 kΩ, 10 kΩ, and 100 kΩ. The test was done with RL = 2 kΩ. Due to loading effects of RL, lower RL values may reduce the peaking, but higher values will not have a significant effect.

As expected, larger value gain resistors cause lower bandwidth and peaking in the response (peaking in frequency response is synonymous with overshoot and ringing in pulse response). Adding 1-pF capacitors in parallel with RF helps compensate the phase margin and restores flat frequency response. Figure 8-4 shows the test circuit.
