PRODUCTION DATA
The OPA855 is a classic voltage-feedback operational amplifier (op amp) with two high-impedance inputs and a low-impedance output. Standard application circuits are supported, such as the two basic options in Figure 8-1 and Figure 8-2. The resistor on the noninverting pin is used for bias current cancellation to minimize the output offset voltage. In a noninverting configuration, the additional resistors on the noninverting pin add noise to the system; therefore, if SNR is critical, the resistor can be eliminated. In an inverting configuration, the noninverting node is typically connected to a dc voltage; therefore, the high-frequency noise contribution from the bias cancellation resistor can be bypassed by adding a large 1-µF capacitor in parallel to the resistor to shunt the noise. The dc operating point for each configuration is level-shifted by the reference voltage (VREF), which is typically set to midsupply in single-supply operation. VREF is typically connected to ground in split-supply applications.
