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 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
