The EL4093C is a complete DC-restored video amplifier subsystem, featuring low power consumption and high slew rate. It
contains a current feedback amplifier and a sample and hold
amplifier designed to stabilize video performance. When the
HOLD logic input is low, the sample and hold may be used as a
general purpose op amp to null the DC offset of the video amplifier. When the HOLD input goes high the sample and hold
stores the correction voltage on the hold capacitor to maintain
DC correction during the subsequent video scan line.
Applications
# Input amplifier in video
equipment
# Restoration amplifier in video
mixers
The sample and hold amplifier contains a current output stage
that greatly simplifies its connection to the video amplifier. Its
high output impedance also helps to preserve video linearity at
low supply voltages. For ease of interfacing, the HOLD input is
TTL-compatible. This device has an operational temperature of
b 40§ C to a 85§ C and is packaged in plastic 16-pin DIP and 16lead SOIC.

EL4093C
300 MHz DC-Restored Video Amplifier
Applications Information
Product Description
The EL4093C is a high speed DC-restore system
containing a current feedback amplifier (CFA)
and a sample & hold (S/H) amplifier. The CFA
offers a wide 3 dB bandwidth of 300 MHz and a
slew rate of 1500 V/ms, making it ideal for high
speed video applications such as SVGA. The
CFA’s excellent differential gain and phase at
3.58 MHz also makes it suitable for NTSC applications. Drawing only 9.5 mA on g 5V supplies,
the EL4093C serves as an excellent choice for
those applications requiring both low power and
high bandwidth.
The connection between the CFA and sample &
hold (the Autozero interface) has been greatly
simplified. The output of the sample & hold is a
high impedance current source, allowing direct
connection to the CFA inverting input for autozero purposes. In addition, special circuitry
within the sample & hold provides a charge current of 8.5 mA in sample mode, resulting in a
sample hold current ratio (ratio of charging current to droop current) of approx. 1,000,000.
44093 – 3
Figure 1
The autozero mechanism is typically active for
only a short period of each video line. Figure 2
shows a NTSC video signal along with the
EL4581C back porch output. The back porch signal is used to drive the HOLD input of the
EL4093C, and we see that the EL4093C is in
sample mode for only 3.5 ms of each line. It is
during this time that the autozero mechanism attempts to drive the CFA output towards the reference voltage, at the same time putting a correction voltage onto the hold capacitor CHOLD.
During the rest of the line (60 ms) the EL4093C is
in hold mode, but DC correction is maintained by
the voltage on CHOLD.
Theory of Operation
In video applications, DC restoration moves the
backporch or black level to a fixed DC reference.
The EL4093C uses a CFA in feedback with a
sample & hold to provide DC restoration. Figure
1 shows how the two are connected to provide
this function; the S/H compares the output of
the CFA to a DC reference, and any difference
between them causes an output current from the
S/H. This ‘‘autozero’’ current is fed to the CFA
inverting input, the effect of which is to move the
CFA output towards the reference voltage. This
autozero mechanism settles when the CFA output is one VOS away from the reference (the VOS
here refers to the S/H offset voltage).

conjunction with the feedback and gain resistors)
creates a pole in the feedback path of the amplifier. This pole, if low enough in frequency, has the
same destabilizing effect as a zero in the forward
open-loop response. Hence it is important to minimize the stray capacitance at this node by removing the nearby ground plane. In addition,
since the S/H output connects to this node, it is
important to minimize the trace capacitance.
Good practice here would be to connect the two
pins with a short trace directly underneath the
chip.
Power Supply Bypassing and Printed
Circuit Board Layout
As with any high frequency device, good printed
circuit board layout is necessary for optimum
performance. Ground plane construction is highly recommended. Lead lengths should be as short
as possible. The power supply pins must be well
bypassed to reduce the risk of oscillation. In the
EL4093C there are two sets of supply pins:
V a 1/V b 1 provide power for the CFA, and
V a 2/V b 2 are for the S/H amplifier. Good performance can be achieved using only one set of
bypass capacitors, although they must be close to
the V a 1/V-1 pins since that is where the high
frequency currents flow. The combination of a
4.7 mF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a
0.01 mF capacitor has been shown to work well.
Chip capacitors are recommended for the 0.01 mF
bypass to minimize lead inductance.
Feedback Resistor Values
The EL4093C has been optimized for a gain of
a 2 with RF e 750X. This value of feedback resistor gives a 3 dB bandwidth of 300 MHz at a
gain of a 2 driving a 150X load. Since the amplifier inside the EL4093C uses current mode feedback, it is possible to change the value of RF to
adjust the bandwidth. Shown in the table below
are optimum feedback resistor values for different closed loop gains.
For good AC performance, parasitic capacitance
should be kept to a minimum, especially at the
CFA inverting input. Ground plane construction
should be used, but it should be removed from
the area near the inverting input to minimize any
stray capacitance at that node. Chip resistors are
recommended for RF and RG, and use of sockets
should be avoided if possible. Sockets add parasitic inductance and capacitance which will result
in some additional peaking and overshoot.

Autozero Interface
If the CFA is configured for non-inverting gain,
then one should also pay attention to the trace
leading to the a input. The inductance of a long
trace ( l 3’’) can form a resonant network with
the amplifier input, resulting in high frequency
oscillations around 700 MHz. In such cases a
50X – 100X series resistor placed close to the a input would isolate this inductance and damp out
the resonance.
The autozero interface refers to the connection
between the S/H output and the CFA inverting
input. This interface has been greatly simplified
compared to that of the EL2090C, in that the
S/H output is a high impedance current source.
The S/H output can be connected directly to the
inverting input, and its high impedance greatly
reduces the interaction between the sample &
hold and the gain setting resistors. Another virtue of this interface is better gain linearity as the
autozero current changes. For example, at an autozero current of 0 mA the output impedance is
about 5 MX, dropping to 1 MX as the autozero
current increases to 3 mA. Using RF e RG e
750X, the closed loop gain changes only by
0.025% in this interval.
Capacitance at the Inverting Input
Any manufacturer’s high-speed voltage or current feedback amplifier can be affected by stray
capacitance at the inverting input. For inverting
gains this parasitic capacitance has little effect
because the inverting input is a virtual ground,
but for non-inverting gains this capacitance (in

As another example, consider the case where we
are restoring to a reference voltage of a 0.75V.
Using the same reasoning as above, a current IRF
e (VDC b 0.75V)/RF must flow through RF,
and a current IRG e VDC/RG must go into RG.
Again, our boundary condition is that IRF a IRG
s g 5.5 mA, and we can solve for the allowable
VDC values using the following:
Autozero Range
The autozero range is defined as the difference
between the input DC level and the reference
voltage to restore to. The size of this range is a
function of the gain setting resistors used and the
S/H output current swing. For a gain of a 2 the
optimum feedback resistor is 750X, and the available S/H output current is g 5.5 mA minimum.
To determine the autozero range for this case, we
refer to Figure 3 below.
g 5.5 mA e
VDC b 0.75V
V
a DC
750X
750X
Hence VDC must be between a 2.4V to b 1.7V.
This example illustrates that when the reference
changes, the autozero range also changes. In general, the user should determine the autozero
range for his/her application, and ensure that the
input signal is within this range during the autozero period.
Autozero Loop Bandwidth
The gain-bandwidth product (GBWP) of the autozero loop is determined by the size of the hold
capacitor, the value of RF, and the transconductances (gm’s) of the S/H amplifier. To begin, the
S/H amplifier is modeled as in Figure 4 below.
First, the input stage transconductance is represented by gm1, with the compensation capacitor
given by CHOLD. This stage’s GBWP is thus
gm1/(2q # CHOLD) e 1/(2q # (350X)(2.2 nF))
e 207 kHz. Next, since the S/H has a current
output, its output stage can be modeled as a
transconductance gm2, in this case having a value of 1/(500X). The current from gm2 then flows
through the I to V converter made up of the CFA
and RF to produce a voltage gain. Thus the
GBWP of the overall loop is given by:
4093 – 39
Figure 3
Suppose that the input DC level is a VDC, and
that the reference voltage is 0V. We know that in
feedback, the following two conditions will exist
on the CFA: first, its output will be equal to 0V
(due to autozero), and second, its VIN b voltage
is equal to the VIN a voltage (i.e. VIN b e
a VDC). So we have a potential difference of
a VDC across both RF and RG, resulting in a current IRF e IRG e VDC/750X that must flow
into each of them. This current IAZ e (IRF a
IRG) must come from the S/H output. Since the
maximum that IAZ can be is 5.5 mA, we can solve
for VDC using the following:
IAZ e g 5.5 mA e 2

and see that VDC e g 2V. This range can easily

Figure 4
With RF e 750X, a GBWP of 310 kHz is obtained. Note however that this is the small signal
GBWP. As mentioned earlier, the sample and
hold has special boost circuits built in which provides g 8.5 mA of charge current during full slew.
These boost circuits turn on when the S/H input
differential voltage exceeds g 50 mV. When the
boosters are turned on, gm1 greatly increases and
the circuit becomes nonlinear. Thus some stability issues are associated with the boosters, and
they will be addressed in a later section.
For CHOLD e 2.2 nF and gm2 e 1/(500X),
DISTEP has a typical value of 100 nA. This
change in S/H output current flows through RF,
shifting the CFA output voltage. However, as we
shall soon see, this shift is negligible. Assuming
RF e 750X, DISTEP is impressed across RF to
give (750X)(100 nA) e 0.08 mV of change at the
CFA output.
Droop Rate
When the S/H amplifier is in HOLD mode, there
is a small current that leaks from the switch into
the hold capacitor. This quantity is termed the
droop current, and is typically 10 nA in the
EL4093. This droop current produces a ramp in
the hold capacitor voltage, which in turn produces a similar effect at the CFA output. The Droop
Rate at the CFA output can be found using the
equation below:
Charge Injection and Hold Step
Charge injection refers to the charge transferred
to the hold capacitor when switching to the
HOLD mode. The charge should ideally be 0, but
due to stray capacitive coupling and other effects,
is typically 0.1 pC in the EL4093. This charge
changes the hold capacitor voltage by DV e DQ/
CHOLD, and this DV is multiplied by the output
stage transconductance (gm2) to produce a
change in S/H output current. This last quantity
is listed as the spec DISTEP, and is calculated using the following:
DISTEP e
#C
DQ

IDROOP
Droop e
(gm2 # RF)
CHOLD
Assuming RF e 750X and CHOLD e 2.2 nF, the
drift in the CFA output due to droop current is
about 7 mV/ms. Recall that in NTSC applications, there is about 60 ms between autozero periods. Thus there is 7 mV/ms)(60 ms) e 0.4 mV, or
less than 0.1 IRE, of drift over each NTSC scan
line. This drift is negligible in most applications.

In the other direction, decreasing CHOLD would
increase the droop and hold step but shorten the
acquisition time. There is, however, a caveat to
reducing CHOLD: too small a CHOLD would
cause the autozero loop to oscillate. The reason is
that when the S/H boost circuit turns on, the
input stage gm increases drastically and the circuit becomes nonlinear. A sufficiently large
CHOLD must be used to suppress the non-linearity and force the loop to settle. For example, it
has been found that a CHOLD of 470 pF results in
1 VP-P oscillation around 10 MHz at the CFA
output.
Choice of Hold Capacitor
The EL4093 has been designed to work with a
hold capacitor of 2.2 nF. With this value of
CHOLD, the droop rate and hold step are negligibly small for most applications. In addition, with
the special boost circuits inside the S/H, fast acquisition is possible even using a hold capacitor
of this size. Figure 5 below shows the input and
output of the DC-restored amplifier while the
S/H is in sample mode. Applying a a 1V step to
the non-inverting input of the CFA, the output
of the CFA jumps to a 2V. The S/H, however,
then tries to autozero the system by driving the
CFA output back to the reference voltage. Since
the input differential across the S/H is initially
a 2V, the boost circuits turn on and supply
8.5 mA of charge current to the hold capacitor.
The boost circuit remains on until the CFA output has come to within 50 mV of the reference.
Note that this event took only 320 ns; settling to
within 1% of the final value takes another 2 ms.
Thus for a 1V input step, acquisition takes only
one to two NTSC scan lines.
The minimum recommended value for CHOLD is
2.2 nF. With this value the loop remains stable
over the entire operating temperature range
( b 40§ C to a 85§ C). The greatest instability occurs at low temperatures, where we observe from
the performance curves that the S/H gm’s, and
hence the GBWP, are at their maximum. If the
operating range is restricted to room temperature
or above, then 1.5 nF is sufficient to keep the
loop stable. At this value of CHOLD the acquisition time reduces to about 1.5 ms.
Video Performance and Application
Although the EL4093 is intended for high speed
video applications such as SVGA, it also offers
excellent performance for NTSC, with 0.04% dG
and 0.02§ dP at 3.58 MHz. Some application considerations, however, are required for handling
NTSC signals.
Referring back to Figure 2, recall that typically,
the autozero interval lies in the back porch portion of video containing the colorburst pulse.
When the S/H compares the video to the reference voltage during this period, the colorburst
(40 IREP-P) triggers the S/H boost circuit and
prevents the autozero loop from settling.

Amplifier Output to Ground
after a 1V Step at Input
A natural question arises as to whether there are
other CHOLD values that can be used. In one direction, increasing CHOLD will further reduce the
droop and hold step, but lengthen the acquisition
time. Since the droop and hold step are already
small to begin with, there is no apparent advantage to increasing CHOLD.

A remedy for this situation is to attenuate the
colorburst before applying it to the S/H input.
Figure 6 below shows a 3.58 MHz chroma trap
which would notch out the colorburst while preserving the video DC level.
4093 – 43
Figure 7. Caution: Lowpass Filter Does Not
Work in NTSC Applications
Although we can cancel this pole by introducing
a zero, the RC network introduces a time delay
between the CFA output and the S/H input. This
has undesirable effects in some NTSC applications, as Figure 8 below illustrates. There is only
0.6 ms from the rising edge of sync to the colorburst. If we are autozeroing over the back porch,
the autozero period would begin somewhere in
this 0.6 ms interval. Since the edge of sync is now
delayed by the RC network, autozero begins before the video back porch reaches its final value.
Consequently, the autozero loop performs a correction on every line and never settles.

One may be tempted to use a RC lowpass filter to
suppress the colorburst, as shown in Figure 7 below. This technique, however, poses several problems. First, to obtain enough attenuation, we
need to set the pole frequency 10 to 20 times lower than 3.58 MHz. This pole, being close to the
auto zero loop pole, would destabilize the system
and cause the loop to oscillate.

Applications Information Ð Contd.
If the video does not contain any AC components
during the autozero level (e.g. RGB video), then
the above networks are not needed and the CFA
output can be connected directly to the S/H input.

Application
The EL4093 current feedback amplifier has an
absolute maximum of g 30 mA output current
drive. This is slightly more than the current required to drive g 2V into 75X. To see how much
the junction temperature is raised in this worst
case, we refer to the equations below:
For the EL4093, the maximum supply current is
11.5 mA on VS e g 5V. Assume that in the worst
case, the CFA output swings g 2V into 75X.
Since the S/H has a current output, we assume
that it is at maximum current swing ( g 5.5 mA)
but at a mid-rail output voltage (0V). With the
above assumptions, PDMAX for the EL4093 is
223 mW, and using the thermal resistance of a
narrow SO package (120§ C/W), this yields a temperature increase of 27§ C. Since the maximum
ambient temperature is 85§ C, the resulting junction temperature of 112§ C is still below the maximum.
TJMAX e TMAX a (iJA # PDMAX)
where:
TMAX e Maximum Ambient Temperature
e Thermal Resistance of the Package
iJA
PDMAX e Maximum Power Dissipation of the
CFA and S/H amplifier in the Package
Please note that there is no short-circuit protection on the EL4093 CFA output, and hence the
minimum short circuit current (60 mA) is greater
than the absolute maximum output current.
Maintaining the EL4093 in this state for more
than a few seconds may cause the part to exceed
TJMAX, in addition to metal migration problems.
PDMAX for either the CFA or the S/H amplifier
can be calculated as follows:
