8.1 Overview

The OPA1637 is a low-noise, low-distortion fully-differential amplifier (FDA) that features Texas Instrument's super-beta bipolar input devices. Super-beta input devices feature very low input bias current as compared to standard bipolar technology. The low input bias current and current noise makes the OPA1637 an excellent choice for audio applications that require low-noise differential signal processing without significant current consumption. This device is also designed for analog-to-digital audio input circuits that require low noise in a single fully-differential amplifier. This device achieves lower current consumption at lower noise levels than what is achievable with two low-noise amplifiers. The OPA1637 also features high-voltage capability, which allows the device to be used in ±15-V supply circuits without any additional voltage clamping or regulators. This feature enables a direct, single amplifier for a 24-dBm differential output drive (commonly found on mixers and digital audio interfaces) without any additional amplification.
