The OPA689 is a wideband, voltage feedback op amp that offers bipolar output voltage limiting, and is stable for gains +4. Two buffered limiting voltages take control of the output when it attempts to drive beyond these limits. This new output limiting architecture holds the limiter offset error to 15mV. The op amp operates linearly to within 30mV of the limits. The combination of narrow nonlinear range and low limiting offset allows the limiting voltages to be set within 100mV of the desired linear output range. A fast 2.4ns recovery from limiting ensures that overdrive signals will be transparent to the signal channel. Implementing the
