JAJSMD4E December 2003 – August 2023 OPA1632
PRODUCTION DATA
The output common-mode voltage pin sets the dc output voltage of the OPA1632. A voltage applied to the VOCM pin from a low-impedance source can be used to directly set the output common-mode voltage. If left floating, the VOCM pin defaults to the mid-rail voltage, defined as:
To minimize common-mode noise, connect a 0.1-uF bypass capacitor to the VOCM pin. Output common-mode voltage causes additional current to flow in the feedback resistor network. This current is supplied by the output stage of the amplifier; therefore, additional power dissipation is created. For commonly-used feedback resistance values, this current is easily supplied by the amplifier. The additional internal power dissipation created by this current can be significant in some applications and can dictate use of the HVSSOP PowerPAD™ integrated circuit package to effectively control self-heating.
