Texas Instruments BUF802 buffering operational amplifier

Texas Instruments’ BUF802 buffering operational amplifier is designed to increase signal bandwidth in data acquisition systems, enabling design engineers to scale front-end designs across multiple data-acquisition applications for a variety of test and measurement applications, including oscilloscopes, active probes and high-frequency data-acquisition systems.

The buffering op amp is a high-input impedance (Hi-Z), open-loop, unity gain buffer amplifier with a JFET-input stage that offers wide bandwidth capable of supporting frequency bandwidths up to 3.1 GHz. Replacing complex ASIC-based design implementations, the buffering op amp integrates features of discrete components in a single chip that considerably increases bandwidth, compared to FET-input amplifiers. This performance lets design engineers leverage high signal throughput with minimal input settling time, leading to faster throughout and improved accuracy in higher-frequency signal measurement.
