The SPT200 operational amplifier achieves performance far superior to that of other high performance op amps. A current feedback design provides a bandwidth of DC-95MHz and an unprecedented settling time of 18nsec to 0.1%. And since thermal tail has been eliminated, the SPT200 can be depended upon to settle fast and solidly maintain its level. Drive capability is also impressive at 24Vpp and 100mA. Using the SPT200 is as easy as adding power supplies and a gain-setting resistor. The result is reliable, consistent performance because such characteristics as bandwidth and settling time are virtually independent of gain setting. Unlike conventional op amp designs where the optimum gain bandwidth product occurs at a high gain, minimum settling time at a gain of -1, maximum slew rate at a gain of +1, et cetera, the SPT200 offers predictable response at gain settings from 1 to 50. This, coupled with consistent performance from unit to unit with no external compensation, makes the SPT200 a real time and costsaver in design and production situations alike. Minimizing settling time was a design goal of the SPT200. Settling time is one of the most demanding of all op amp requirements since it is affected by the op amp's bandwidth, gain flatness, and harmonic distortion. The result of this effort is an amplifier fast enough for the most demanding high speed D to A converters and "flash" A to D converters. The superior slew rate and rise and fall times of the SPT200 make it an ideal amplifier for a broad range of pulse, analog, and digital applications. Flat gain and phase response from DC to beyond 50MHz ensure distortion levels well below those of other op amps. A full power bandwidth of 20MHz eliminates the need for power buffers in many applications. The SPT200 is constructed using thin film resistor/bipolar transistor technology, and is available in the following versions: SPT200AIH -25 to +85 C
