General Description
The KH232 is a wideband low distortion operational
amplifier designed specifically for high speed, low gain
applications requiring wide dynamic range. Utilizing a
current feedback architecture, the KH232 offers high
speed performance while maintaining DC precision.
The KH232 offers precise gains from ±1 to ±5 with a
true 0.1% linearity and provides stable, oscillation-
free operation across the entire gain range without
external compensation. The KH232, a pin compatible
enhanced version of the KH231, reduces 2nd and 3rd
harmonic distortion to an extremely low -69dBc at
20MHz (2V
pp
, R
L
= 100Ω). Additional features provided
by the KH232 include a small signal bandwidth of
270MHz, a large signal bandwidth of 95MHz and a
3000V/µs slew rate. The input offset voltage is typically
1mV with an input offset drift of 10µV/°C.
The KH232 combines these high performance features
with its 0.05% settling time of 15ns and its 100mA
drive capability to provide high speed, high resolution
A/D and D/A converter systems with an attractive
solution for driving and buffering. Wide dynamic
range systems such as radar and communication
receivers requiring low harmonic distortion and low
noise will find the KH232 to be an excellent choice. As
a line driver, the KH232 set at a gain of 2 cancels
matched line losses.
The KH232 is constructed using thin film resistor/bipolar
transistor technology, and is available in the following
versions:
