Ok DIY gurus, this time I'm in need of an opamp that will give me over 60mhz of bandwidth at a gain of 10+. I'm not talking datasheet buzzword bandwidth either.
Yep.
The amp needs to be flat from 25mhz to 60mhz.
The only opamps I can find that can give me the true bandwidth at G=10 are current feedback, but there is a problem..
This has to be single supply(5v) AND I need to bias the midpoint to VCC/2 (2.5v).
I would normally use an inverting arrangement and bias the non-inverting input on a voltage feedback opamp but that doesn't work right for a currrent feedback opamp. Since the inputs can(and usually do) have different impedances as well as the voltage offsets due to this, I just can't seem to simulate a happy circuit. I've found a National app note on this but I can't seem to get their circuit working either, it shows a current source biasing the NI input(the circuit is inverting) but it won't simulate for me on Orcad or Circuitmaker and the breadboard version doesn't do anything either..
Any ideas on another route to try?
