AI Thread Summary
For building an integrator to process 15-volt, 65-nanosecond Gaussian pulses at a 100 kHz repetition rate, a suitable op-amp is required with low input bias current and sufficient bandwidth. The discussion highlights that no op-amp can effectively respond to 65 ns pulses due to bandwidth limitations, but suggestions for alternatives are encouraged. The recommended op-amp, TLC27M2AID, features a low input bias current of 1 pA and an impressive bandwidth of 800 MHz. Users are advised to search for op-amps with a high gain bandwidth product from manufacturers like Texas Instruments. Overall, selecting the right op-amp is crucial for achieving the desired performance in this application.

Hi,

I'm building an integrator using an op-amp to integrate 15 volt 65nS pulses at a repetition rate of 100Khz using a 20uS time constant.

Can anyone recommend a suitable op-amp for this application. It needs to have very low input bias current to minimise d.c. drift and have sufficient bandwidth. The cost is not important but it needs to be readily available.

Many Thanks.

Paul.

No opamp is going to respond to 65ns pulses. Can you say more about what you are trying to do? We may still be able to suggest some ways to accomplish what you want.
 
Hi,

Thanks for replying to my query.

The input pulse is gaussian in shape and 65nS wide. Taking this as approximating to half a sine wave I calculated the periodic time to be 130nS. This is a frequency of 7.69Mhz and I thought I would be able to get a suitable op amp with that bandwidth and low input current.

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Paul.
 
how low input bias, is pA standard? just use a regular op amp should work
do a search at digikey compare.
TLC27M2AID has 1pA input bias current, bandwidth 800MHz
 
Look for something on TI that has a high GBW (gain bandwidth product)
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
