MM5024.1
Introduction
The HA5024 is a low cost quad amplifier optimized for RGB
video applications and gains between 1 and 10. It is a current feedback amplifier; thus it yields less bandwidth degradation at high closed loop gains than voltage feedback
amplifiers. The HA5024 also features a disable function that
significantly reduces supply current while forcing the output
to a true high impedance state. The macromodel for the
HA5024 is PSPICE (registered trademark of MicroSim
Corp.) compatible, and may be compatible with other simulation programs as well. The model file is in ASCII format and
may be viewed/edited with any text editor.
All models require a trade-off between accuracy and complexity (simulation time). Intersil's models emulate the nominal performance of a typical device, and are designed to
match the typical performance curves in the device data
sheet.
SPICE simulations should not be considered a substitute for
breadboarding a circuit; rather, they should be used to select
preliminary component values and to verify the validity of a
design approach.
Do not rely on simulations to predict device performance
when deviating from the operating conditions specified in the
data sheet (e.g. just because the model works with ±1V supplies, don't assume that the actual amplifier does). Instead,
refer to the data sheet performance curves, or call the factory for assistance (321-724-7143).
The HA5024 model is configured as a subcircuit for easy
incorporation into larger circuit files. When using PSPICE,
call a subcircuit from the top level circuit file by adding a .LIB
statement to point to the file containing the subcircuit (e.g.
.lib c:\models\ha5024.cir), and by including a subcircuit call
of the following form:
xname +IN
-IN V+
V-
OUT ENABLE model name
(e.g. x22 101 111 113 114 112
110
HA5024)
Note that the node order in the subcircuit call follows the
industry standard, and the order is also documented in the
comment section at the beginning of the model file.
Model Description
The macromodel schematic is shown in Figure 1, and the
PSPICE listing for the macromodel follows. The model topology consists of three main functional sections: a buffer
between the two input pins, an output section between the
negative input pin and the output pin, and an enable section.
The topology of the input buffer section is a basic four transistor voltage follower. This configuration was used in order
to efficiently model the Enable capability of the amplifier.
Additional components are added to this structure in order to
model the critical characteristics of the actual amplifier. Of
these additional components, some are used to model both
1
the slew limiting of the negative input and the fractional step
feed-through from the positive input to the negative input.
Other elements model the voltage and current limiting of the
negative input. The bias current of the positive input and the
high frequency voltage gain are also accounted for in the
input buffer section model.
The output section is a transimpedance amplifier constructed from four stages: current probe, mid stage, frequency transfer, and output drive. The current probe stage
monitors the current through the negative input pin and also
models the input offset voltage. The mid stage is used for the
bias current of the negative input and for power supply gains.
This stage is also used to capture the operation of the output
transimpedance amplifier while disabled. The frequency
transfer block consists of two poles and two zeros for modelling the high frequency open-loop transimpedance gain. The
output drive stage accounts for several characteristics
including: the output slew limits and resulting transimpedance gain bandwidth product, the saturation delay times,
and the voltage and current limiting at the output.
The enable section of the model is used to control certain
characteristics of other blocks in the model. This section
operates according to the voltage level at the enable input
pin and to the status of the output pin. Two characteristics of
the output which are controlled by this section are the impedance and slew limiting. The internal bias currents of the input
buffer section are also set by the enable section. As a result,
high impedance states are achieved at the two input pins
whenever the amplifier is disabled.
In addition to the three main functional sections, smaller constructs and individual components are used to model other
important amplifier characteristics. Specifically, one section
is used to capture the change in the voltage limits of the output as a function of the current through the negative input.
Power supply currents are also modelled with an additional
section. At each amplifier pin, several individual components
are included to model high frequency impedance characteristics, including any significant package parasitics.
The model is optimized for operation at ±5V, but it operates
over the full range of supply voltages. Beware, the model
does not simulate various breakdown conditions such as
exceeding the maximum ratings, but it does have input limiting. The model does not include input voltage or current
noise, or temperature effects.
The poles and zeros of the transimpedance frequency transfer section have been located with great care to insure that
the performance for 3 different inverting and non-inverting
gains is matched closely to the curves given in tNohe data
sheet. Also, the pole/zero placement insures that the transient response matches that shown in the data sheet.
CAUTION: These devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge; follow proper IC Handling Procedures.

Application Note MM5024
Intersil application note AN9523 titled “Evaluation Programs
For SPICE Op Amp Models” was used as a guideline for evaluating the HA5024 performance. Figure 2 shows the noninverting AC transfer function. In the gain of one configuration
the peaking is 2.5dB versus the 3.2dB of peaking shown in
the data sheet. The -3dB bandwidth is 125MHz in both cases.
This is quite good correlation between the model and the data
sheet. Similarly, the non-inverting gains of 2 and 10 closely
match the data sheet transfer functions. In all cases the data
sheet conditions were met during the SPICE analysis; i.e.,
RF = 1kΩ, RL = 400Ω, and VSUPPLY = 15V, CL = 10pF. The
inverting AC transfer function is shown in Figure 3. Notice that
in the gain of -1 configuration the peaking is 0.5dB versus the
1.5dB of peaking shown on the data sheet, and that the gain
of -2 and -10 curves match those shown in the data sheet.
Again the correlation between the model and the data sheet is
quite good. The small signal pulse response is shown in Figure 4 and the rise time, fall time, propagation delay, and time
domain peaking can be read off this waveform.
The common mode rejection ratio is obtained through the
use of two identical amplifiers and the equation CMRR =
common mode input voltage divided by the differential input
voltage for a constant output voltage (see Figure 5). The
input for this test is chosen as a 2V square wave. This
enables the evaluation of the worst case CMRR.

Figures 6, 7, and 8 show the salient DC parameters for the
HA5024. The input signal for this test is a DC sweep which
enables the evaluation of parameters around zero. The
response to a stimulus on the DIS input is shown in Figure 9.
The op amp is configured as a non-inverting follower circuit
with a DC input of 2V. The DIS pin voltage is switched from
ground to V CC to switch the op amp on and off. The slower
turn-off time is seen in the figure along with the much faster
turn-on time.

Summary
The macromodel performs well for both the DC and AC
parameters. It is a fraction of a dB off for some AC tests, but
this is acceptable for an approximation. At least the model
has peaking where the op amp has peaking, and the
response for different gains is modeled correctly. The model
is just an approximation! It cannot predict performance to a
few percent; especially when one considers that the circuit
layout parameters have such a large effect on high frequency performance. The model will not predict the actual
performance in many circumstances such as non-linearities,
limits of performance, or extended range operation. Only
testing will confirm performance out of the normal operating
range, and all circuits should be tested to confirm the
model’s predictions.
