7.1 Overview

The OPA698 is a voltage-feedback op amp that is unity-gain stable. The output voltage is limited to a range set by the voltage on the limiter pins (5 and 8). When the input tries to overdrive the output, the limiters take control of the output buffer. This action from the limiters avoids saturating any part of the signal path, giving quick overdrive recovery and excellent limiter accuracy at any signal gain. The limiters have a very sharp transition from the linear region of operation to output limiting. This transition allows the limiter voltages to be set very near (< 100mV) the desired signal range. The distortion performance is also very good near the limiter voltages.
