The OPA350 series of rail-to-rail CMOS operational amplifiers are optimized for low voltage, single-supply operation. Rail-to-rail input and output, low noise (5 nV/√Hz), and high speed operation (38 MHz, 22 V/µs) make the amplifiers ideal for driving sampling Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converters. They are also suited for cell phone PA control loops and video processing (75-Ω drive capability), as well as audio and general purpose applications. Single, dual, and quad versions have identical specifications for maximum design flexibility. The OPA350 series operates on a single supply as low as 2.5 V, with an input common-mode voltage range that extends 300 mV below ground and 300 mV above the positive supply. Output voltage swing is to within 10 mV of the supply rails, with a 10-kΩ load. Dual and quad designs feature completely independent circuitry for lowest crosstalk and freedom from interaction.
“The voltage-controlled current source circuit can be used to drive a constant current into a signal or pump laser diode. This simple linear driver provides a cleaner drive current into a laser diode than switching PWM drivers. The basic circuit …
