1.1 GHz current-feedback amp — what it does and where it fits
The Texas Instruments OPA2695ID is a dual current-feedback operational amplifier in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package. Its current-feedback topology means the -3dB bandwidth of 1.1 GHz holds nearly constant across gain settings — a key difference from voltage-feedback amps where bandwidth drops as gain increases. The 2900 V/µs slew rate supports large-signal fast edges for applications like ADC front-end drivers, video distribution amplifiers, and high-speed pulse or RF/IF signal chains. Each of the two channels delivers up to 120 mA output current, and the supply range spans 3.5 V to 12 V. The industrial temperature grade (-40°C to 85°C) suits outdoor telecom infrastructure, factory-floor instrumentation, and test equipment that sees temperature swings but not the under-hood extremes of automotive.
Slew rate and bandwidth — the so-what for your signal chain
The 2900 V/µs slew rate and 1.1 GHz bandwidth handle fast-settling pulses and high-frequency signals without slew-induced distortion.
Package and supply — board-fit notes
The OPA2695ID ships in a Tube, not Tape & Reel. The 8-SOIC footprint is standard.
