PARAMETER MEASUREMENT INFORMATION

full-power response

Full-power response, the frequency above which the operational amplifier slew rate limits the output voltage

swing, is often specified two ways: full-linear response and full-peak response. The full-linear response is

generally measured by monitoring the distortion level of the output while increasing the frequency of a sinusoidal

input signal until the maximum frequency is found above which the output contains significant distortion. The

full-peak response is defined as the maximum output frequency, without regard to distortion, above which full

peak-to-peak output swing cannot be maintained.

Because there is no industry-wide accepted value for significant distortion, the full-peak response is specified

in this data sheet and is measured using the circuit of Figure 1. The initial setup involves the use of a sinusoidal

input to determine the maximum peak-to-peak output of the device (the amplitude of the sinusoidal wave is

increased until clipping occurs). The sinusoidal wave is then replaced with a square wave of the same

amplitude. The frequency is then increased until the maximum peak-to-peak output can no longer be maintained

(Figure 5). A square wave is used to allow a more accurate determination of the point at which the maximum

peak-to-peak output is reached.

test time

Inadequate test time is a frequent problem, especially when testing CMOS devices in a high-volume,

short-test-time environment. Internal capacitances are inherently higher in CMOS than in bipolar and BiFET

devices and require longer test times than their bipolar and BiFET counterparts. The problem becomes more

pronounced with reduced supply levels and lower temperatures.
