#181830 - Another scheme... Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Here is another scheme using modern, fast single supply OPamps:
The circuit was simulated with OPA353 but will also work with OPA2320, AD8616, etc. Single supply OPamps loose specifications when emitting voltages at the output near 0V. To avoid trouble the negative supply pins are pulled down to about -0.3V. A simple Schottky diode biased by a current of 10...20mA can easily provide this auxiliary potential. If you have a -5V supply voltage drive the Schottky by a 250...470R resistor and put a 100nF cap in parallel to the diode. To achieve a wide bandwidth and high linearity at highest frequencies the gain is distributed over three stages. The small caps in the feedback loops of OPamps prevent ringing caused by unavoidable input stray capacitances of Opamps. Slowlier Opamps do not really need them, but faster and fastest do! Kai Klaas |
