APPLICATI O S I FOR ATIO The may be inserted directly into HA, HA, AD7, EL and LM636 applications, provided that the amplifier configuration is a noise gain of or greater, and the nulling circuitry is removed. The suggested nulling circuit for the is shown below. Offset Nulling V Small Signal, A V = Small Signal, A V = Layout and Passive Components As with any high speed operational amplifier, care must be taken in board layout in order to obtain maximum performance. Key layout issues include: use of a ground plane, minimization of stray capacitance at the input pins, short lead lengths, RF-quality bypass capacitors located close to the device (typically.µf to.µf), and use of low ESR bypass capacitors for high drive current applications (typically µf to µf tantalum). Sockets should be avoided when maximum frequency performance is required, although low profile sockets can provide reasonable performance up to MHz. For more details see Design Note. Feedback resistors greater than kω are not recommended because a pole is formed with the input capacitance which can cause peaking. If feedback resistors greater than kω are used, a parallel capacitor of pf to pf should be used to cancel the input pole and optimize dynamic performance. Transient Response The gain bandwidth is GHz when measured at MHz. The actual frequency response in a gain of is considerably higher than MHz due to peaking caused by a second pole beyond the gain of crossover point. This is reflected in the small signal transient response. Higher noise gain configurations exhibit less overshoot as seen in the inverting gain of response. 6 3 k 7 6 V.µF.µF AI The large signal response in both inverting and noninverting gain shows symmetrical slewing characteristics. Normally the noninverting response has a much faster rising edge due to the rapid change in input common mode voltage which affects the tail current of the input differential pair. Slew enhancement circuitry has been added to the so that the falling edge slew rate is enhanced which balances the noninverting slew rate response. Large Signal, A V = Large Signal, A V = Input Considerations Resistors in series with the inputs are recommended for the in applications where the differential input voltage exceeds ±6V continuously or on a transient basis. An example would be in noninverting configurations with high input slew rates or when driving heavy capacitive loads. The use of balanced source resistance at each input is recommended for applications where DC accuracy must be maximized. Capacitive Loading AI AI3 The is stable with all capacitive loads. This is accomplished by sensing the load induced output pole and adding compensation at the amplifier gain node. As the capacitive load increases, both the bandwidth and phase margin decrease so there will be peaking in the
APPLICATI O S I FOR ATIO frequency domain and in the transient response. The photo of the small signal response with pf load shows % peaking. The large signal response with a,pf load shows the output slew rate being limited by the short circuit current. A V =, C L = pf A V =, C L =,pf The can drive coaxial cable directly, but for best pulse fidelity the cable should be doubly terminated with a resistor in series with the output. Compensation AI The has a typical gain bandwidth product of GHz which allows it to have wide bandwidth in high gain configurations (i.e., in a gain of it will have a bandwidth of about MHz). The amplifier is stable in a noise gain of so the ratio of the output signal to the inverting input must be / or less. Straightforward gain configurations of or are stable, but there are a few configurations that allow the amplifier to be stable for lower signal gains (the noise gain, however, remains or more). One example is the inverting amplifier shown in the typical applications sections below. The input signal has a gain of R F /R IN to the output, but it is easily seen that this configuration is equivalent to a gain of as far as the amplifier is concerned. Lag compensation can also be used to give a low frequency gain less than with a high frequency gain of or greater. The example below has a DC gain of 6, but an AC gain of 3. The break frequency of the RC combination across the amplifier inputs should be at least a factor of less than the gain bandwidth of the amplifier divided by the high frequency gain (in this case / of GHz/3 or 3MHz).
