100MHz Current Feedback Amplifier
Features
The EL2120 is a wideband current
feedback amplifier optimized for video
performance. Its 0.01% differential
gain and 0.03 degree differential phase performance when
at ±5V supplies exceeds the performance of other amplifiers
running on ±15V supplies. Operating on ±8 to ±15V supplies
reduces distortions to 0.01% and 0.01 degrees and below.
The EL2120 can operate with supplies as low as ±2.5V or a
single +5V supply.
• Excellent differential gain and phase on ±5V to ±15V
supplies
Being a current feedback design, bandwidth is a relatively
constant 100MHz over the ±1 to ±10 gain range. The
EL2120 has been optimized for flat gain over frequency and
all characteristics are maintained at positive unity gain.
Because the input slew rate is similar to the 700V/µs output
slew rate the part makes an excellent high-speed buffer.
The EL2120 has a superior output disable function. Time to
enable or disable is 50ns and does not change markedly
with temperature. Furthermore, in disable mode the output
does not draw excessive currents when driven with
1000V/µs slew rates. The output appears as a 3pF load
when disabled.

Applications Information
The EL2120 represents the third generation of currentfeedback amplifier design. It is designed to provide good
high-frequency performance over wide supply voltage, load
impedance, gain, temperature, and manufacturing lot
variations. It is a well-behaved amplifier in spite of its
100MHz bandwidth, but a few precautions should be taken
to obtain maximum performance.
The power supply pins must be well bypassed. 0.01µF
ceramic capacitors are adequate, but lead length should be
kept below 1/4” and a ground plane is recommended.
Bypassing with 4.7µF tantalum capacitors can improve
7
settling characteristics, and smaller capacitors in parallel will
not be needed. The lead length of sockets generally
deteriorates the amplifier's frequency response by
exaggerating peaking and increasing ringing in response to
transients. Short sockets cause little degradation.
Load capacitance also increases ringing and peaking.
Capacitance greater than 35pF should be isolated with a
series resistor. Capacitance at the VIN- terminal has a
similar effect, and should be kept below 5pF. Often, the
inductance of the leads of a load capacitance will be selfresonant at frequencies from 40MHz to 200MHz and can
cause oscillations. A resonant load can be de-Q'ed with a
small series or parallel resistor. A “snubber” can sometimes
EL2120
be used to reduce resonances. This is a resistor and
capacitor in series connected from output to ground. Values
of 68Ω and 33pF are typical. Increasing the feedback
resistor can also improve frequency flatness.
The VIN+ pin can oscillate in the 200MHz to 500MHz realm if
presented with a resonant or inductive source impedance. A
series 27Ω to 68Ω resistor right on the VIN+ pin will suppress
such oscillations without affecting frequency response.
-3dB bandwidth is inversely proportional to the value of
feedback resistor RF. The EL2120 will tolerate values as low
as 180Ω for a maximum bandwidth of about 140MHz, but
peaking will increase and tolerance to stray capacitance will
reduce. At gains greater than 5, -3dB bandwidth begins to
reduce, and a smaller RF can be used to maximize
frequency response.
The greatest frequency response flatness (to 0.1dB, for
instance) occurs with RF = 300Ω to 330Ω. Even the
moderate peaking caused by lower values of RF will cause
the gain to peak out of the 0.1dB window, and higher values
of RF will cause an overcompensated response where the
gain falls below the 0.1dB level. Parasitic capacitances will
generally degrade the frequency flatness.
The EL2120 should not output a continuous current above
50mA, as stated in the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
table. The output current limit is set to 120mA at a die
temperature of 25°C and reduces to 85mA at a die
temperature of 150°C. This large current is needed to slew
load capacitance and drive low impedance loads with low
distortion but cannot be supported continuously.
Furthermore, package dissipation capabilities cannot be met
under short-circuit conditions. Current limit should not occur
longer than a few seconds.
The output disable function of the EL2120 is optimized for
video performance. While in disable mode, the feedthrough
of the circuit can be modeled as a 0.2pF capacitor from VIN+
to the output. No more than ±5V can be placed between
VIN+ and VIN- in disable mode, but this is compatible with
common video signal levels. In disabled state the output can
withstand about 1000V/µs slew rate signals impressed on it
without the output transistors turning on.
The /Disable pin logic level is referred to V+. With ±5V
supplies, a CMOS or TTL driver with pull-up resistor will
suffice. ±15V supplies require a +14/+11V drive span, or
+15/+10V nominally. Open-collector TTL with a tapped pullup resistor can provide these spans. The impedance of the
divider should be 1k or less for optimum enable/disable
speed.
The EL2120 enables in 50ns or less. When VIN = 0, only a
small switching glitch occurs at the output. When VIN is
some other value, the output overshoots by about 0.7V when
settling toward its new enabled value.
8
When the EL2120 disables, it turns off very rapidly for inputs
of ±1V or less, and the output sags more slowly for inputs
larger than this. For inputs as large as ±2.5V the output
current can be absorbed by another EL2120 simultaneously
enabled. Under these conditions, switching will be properly
completed in 50ns or less.
The greater thermal resistance of the SO-8 package
requires that the EL2120 be operated from ±10V supplies or
less to maintain the 150°C maximum die temperature over
the commercial temperature range. The P-DIP package
allows the full ±16.5V supply operation.

The EL2120 Macromodel
This macromodel has been developed to assist the user in
simulating the EL2120 with surrounding circuitry. It was
developed for the PSPICE simulator (copyrighted by the
Microsim corporation), and may need to be rearranged for
other simulators, particularly the H operator. It approximates
frequency response and small-signal transients as well,
although the effects of load capacitance does not show. This
model is slightly more complicated than the models used for
low-frequency op-amps, but is much more accurate for AC.
The model does not simulate these characteristics
accurately:
• noise
• non-linearities
• slew rate limitations
• temperature effects
• settling time
• manufacturing variations
• input or output resonances
• CMRR and PSRR
