Comlinear CLC407
Low-Cost, Low-Power
Programmable Gain Buffer with Disable
General Description
Features
The Comlinear CLC407 is a low-cost, high-speed (110MHz)
buffer which features user-programmable gains of +2, +1, and -1
V/V. This high-performance part has the added versatility of a
TTL-compatible disable which quickly switches the buffer off in
18ns and back on in 40ns. The CLC407’s high 60mA output
current, coupled with its ultra-low 35mW power consumption
makes it the ideal choice for demanding applications that are
sensitive to both power and cost.

Utilizing Comlinear’s proven architectures, this current feedback
amplifier surpasses the performance of alternate solutions with a
closed-loop design that produces new standards for buffers in
gain accuracy, input impedance, and input bias currents. The
CLC407’s internal feedback network provides an excellent gain
accuracy of 0.1%. High source impedance applications will
benefit from the CLC407’s 6MΩ input impedance along with its
exceptionally low 100nA input bias current.

■
■
With 0.1dB flatness to 30MHz and low differential gain and phase
errors, the CLC407 is very useful for professional video processing and distribution. A 110MHz -3dB bandwidth coupled with a
350V/µs slew rate also make the CLC407 a perfect choice in
cost-sensitive applications such as video monitors, fax machines,
copiers, and CATV systems. Back-terminated video applications
will especially appreciate +2 gains which require no external gain
components reducing inventory costs and board space.

CLC407 OPERATION
Minimize this capacitive coupling during layout by removing
ground plane near pins 1, 2, and 3. This minimization
should produce a response similar to the plot labeled
“open” in Graph 1. If desired flatness is greater than plot
“open” in Graph 1, two options remain to further flatten
the frequency response. First, try shorting the inverting
input (pin 2) to the non-inverting input (pin 3). This
response is labeled “short” in Graph 1. Next, try
inserting a 300Ω resistor R between the non-inverting
input (pin 2) as shown in Figure 1. This response is
labeled “300Ω ” in Graph 1. Notice an “open” produces a
response with obvious peaking and maximum bandwidth,
a “short” minimizes peaking and bandwidth, and finally
300Ω slightly extends bandwidth with minimal peaking.
Closed Loop Gain Selection
The CLC407 is a current feedback op amp with
Rf = Rg = 250Ω on chip (in the package). Select from
three closed loop gains without using any external gain or
feedback resistors. Implement gains of +2, +1, and
-1V/V by connecting pins 2 and 3 as described in the
chart below.

The gain accuracy of the CLC407 is excellent and
stable over temperature change. The internal gain
setting resistors, Rf and Rg are diffused silicon resistors
with a process variation of ± 20% and a temperature
coefficient of ˜ 2000ppm/°C. Although their absolute
values change with processing and temperature, their
ratio (Rf/Rg) remains constant. If an external resistor is
used in series with Rg, gain accuracy over temperature
will suffer .

Non-Inverting Unity Gain Considerations (Av = +1V/V)
Achieve a gain of +1V/V by removing all resistive and
capacitive connections between pin 2 and ground plane.
Any capacitive coupling between pin 2 and ground will
cause high frequency peaking in the frequency domain
response and overshoot in the time domain response.

If a large source impedance application is considered,
remove all parasitic capacitance around the non-inverting input and source traces. Parasitic capacitances
near the input and source act as a low-pass filter and
reduce bandwidth.
Figure 1
Enable/Disable Operation Using +5V Supplies
The CLC407 has a TTL & CMOS logic compatible
disable function. Apply a logic low (i.e. < 0.8V) to pin
8, and the CLC407 is guaranteed disabled across its
temperature range. Apply a logic high to pin 8, (i.e. >
2.0V) and the CLC407 is guaranteed enabled. Voltage,
not current, at pin 8 determines the enable/disable
state of the CLC407.
Current feedback op amps have uncorrelated input
bias currents. These uncorrelated bias currents
prevent source impedance matching on each input
from cancelling offsets. Refer to application note
OA-07 of the data book to find specific circuits to
correct DC offsets.
Layout Considerations
Whenever questions about layout arise, USE THE
EVALUATION BOARD AS A TEMPLATE.
Disable the CLC407 and its inputs and output become
high impedances. While disabled, the CLC407’s quiescent power drops to 8mW.
Use the 730013 and 730026 evaluation boards for the
DIP and SOIC respectively. These board layouts were
optimized to produce the typical performance of the
CLC407 shown in the data sheet. To reduce parasitic
capacitances, the ground plane was removed near
pins 2, 3, and 6. To reduce series inductance, trace
lengths of components and nodes were minimized.
Use the CLC407’s disable to create analog switches or
multiplexers. Implement a single analog switch with
one CLC407 positioned between an input and output.
Create an analog multiplexer with several CLC407s.
Tie the outputs together and put a different signal on
each CLC407 input.
Operate the CLC407 without connecting pin 8. An
internal 20kΩ pull-up resistor guarantees the CLC407
is enabled when pin 8 is floating.
Parasitics on traces degrade performance. Minimize
coupling from traces to both power and ground
planes. Use low inductance resistors for leaded
components .

Do not use dip sockets for the CLC407 DIP amplifiers.
These sockets can peak the frequency domain

the CLC407 circuitry. When pin 8 is less than 0.8V
above the supply mid-point, Q1 stops tail current from

Considerations for the CLC407
To optimize off-isolation of the CLC407, cut the Rf trace on
both the 730013 and the 730027 evaluation boards. This
cut minimizes capacitive feedthrough between the input
and the output. Figure 4 shows where to cut both evaluation boards for improved off-isolation.
