Video Instrumentation Amplifiers
Features
The EL4430 and EL4431 are video
instrumentation amplifiers which are
ideal for line receivers, differential-tosingle-ended converters, transducer interfacing, and any
situation where a differential signal must be extracted from a
background of common-mode noise or DC offset.
• Fully differential inputs and feedback
• Differential input range of ±2V
• Common-mode range of ±12V
• High CMRR at 4MHz of 70dB
• Stable at gains of 1, 2
These devices have two differential signal inputs and two
differential feedback terminals. The FB terminal connects to
the amplifier output, or a divided version of it to increase
circuit gain, and the REF terminal is connected to the output
ground or offset reference.
The EL4430 is compensated to be stable at a gain of 1 or
more, and the EL4431 for a gain of 2 or more.
The amplifiers have an operational temperature of -40°C to
+85°C and are packaged in plastic 8-pin DIP and SO-8.
The EL4430 and EL4431 are fabricated with Elantec’s
proprietary complementary bipolar process which gives
excellent signal symmetry and is free from latchup.
• Calibrated and clean input clipping
• EL4430—80MHz @ G = 1
• EL4431—160MHz GBWP
• 380V/µs slew rate
• 0.02% or ° differential gain or phase
• Operates on ±5 to ±15V supplies with no AC degradation
Applications
• Line receivers
• “Loop-through” interface
• Level translation
Pinout
• Magnetic head pre-amplification
• Differential-to-single-ended conversion

Applications Information
Input Connections
The EL4430 and EL4431 are designed to convert a fully
differential input to a single-ended output. It has two sets of
inputs; one which is connected to the signal and does not
respond to its common-mode level, and another which is
used to complete a feedback loop with the output. Here is a
typical connection:
The input transistors can be driven from resistive and
capacitive sources, but are capable of oscillation when
presented with an inductive input. It takes about 80nH of
series inductance to make the inputs actually oscillate,
equivalent to 4 of unshielded wiring or about 6 of
unterminated input transmission line. The oscillation has a
characteristic frequency of 500MHz. Often, placing one’s
finger (via a metal probe) or an oscilloscope probe on the
input will kill the oscillation. Normal high-frequency
construction obviates any such problems, where the input
source is reasonably close to the input. If this is not possible,
one can insert series resistors of approximately 51Ω to de-Q
the inputs.
Signal Amplitudes
The gain of the feedback divider is H. The transfer function of
the part is:
VOUT = AO × ((VIN+) - (VIN-) + (VREF - VFB)).
VFB is connected to VOUT through a feedback network, so
VFB = H × VOUT. AO is the open-loop gain of the amplifier,
and is about 600 for the EL4430 and EL4431. The large
value of AO drives:
(VIN+) - (VIN-) + (VREF - VFB)→0.
Rearranging and substituting for VFB:
VOUT = ((VIN+) - (VIN-) + VREF)/H.
Thus, the output is equal to the difference of the VINs and
offset by VREF, all gained up by the feedback divider ratio.
The input impedance of the FB terminal (equal to RIN of the
input terminals) is in parallel with an RG, and raises circuit
gain slightly.
The EL4430 is stable for a gain of 1 (a direct connection
between VOUT and FB) or more and the EL4431 for gains of
2 or more. It is important to keep the feedback divider’s
impedance at the FB terminal low so that stray capacitance
does not diminish the loop’s phase margin. The pole caused
by the parallel of resistors RF and RG and stray capacitance
should be at least 200MHz; typical strays of 3pF thus require
a feedback impedance of 270Ω or less. Two 510Ω resistors
are acceptable for a gain of 2; 300Ω and 2700Ω make a
good gain-of-10 divider. Alternatively, a small capacitor
across RF can be used to create more of a frequencycompensated divider. The value of the capacitor should
scale with the parasitic capacitance at the FB terminal input.
It is also practical to place small capacitors across both the
feedback resistors (whose values maintain the desired gain)
to swamp out parasitics. For instance, two 10pF capacitors
(for a gain of 2) across equal divider resistors will dominate
parasitic effects and allow a higher divider resistance.
7
Signal input common-mode voltage must be between
(V-)+3V and (V+)-3V to ensure linearity. Additionally, the
differential voltage on any input stage must be limited to ±6V
to prevent damage. The differential signal range is ±2V in the
EL4430 and EL4431. The input range is substantially
constant with temperature.
The Ground Pin
The ground pin draws only 6µA maximum DC current, and
may be biased anywhere between (V-)+2.5V and (V+)-3.5V.
The ground pin is connected to the IC’s substrate and
frequency compensation components. It serves as a shield
within the IC and enhances CMRR over frequency, and if
connected to a potential other than ground, it must be
bypassed.
Power Supplies
The instrumentation amplifiers work well on any supplies
from ±3V to ±15. The supplies may be of different voltages
as long as the requirements of the Gnd pin are observed
(see the Ground Pin section for a discussion). The supplies
should be bypassed close to the device with short leads.
4.7µF tantalum capacitors are very good, and no smaller
bypasses need be placed in parallel. Capacitors as low as
0.01µF can be used if small load currents flow.
Single-polarity supplies, such as +12V with +5V can be
used, where the ground pin is connected to +5V and V- to
ground. The inputs and outputs will have to have their levels
shifted above ground to accommodate the lack of negative
supply.
The dissipation of the amplifiers increases with power supply
voltage, and this must be compatible with the package
chosen. This is a close estimate for the dissipation of a
circuit:
PD= 2 × VS × IS, max + (VS-VO) × VO/RPAR
EL4430, EL4431
Output Loading
where
IS, max is the maximum supply current
VS is the ± supply voltage (assumed equal)
VO is the output voltage
RPAR is the parallel of all resistors loading the output
For instance, the EL4431 draws a maximum of 16mA and we
might require a 2V peak output into 150Ω and a
270Ω + 270Ω feedback divider.
The RPAR is 117Ω. The dissipation with ±5V supplies is
201mW. The maximum supply voltage that the device can
run on for a given PD and the other parameter is:
VS, max = (PD + VO2/RPAR)/(2IS + VO/RPAR)
The maximum dissipation a package can offer is:
PD, max = (TJ, max - TA max)/θJA
where
TJ, max is the maximum die junction temperature, 150°C
for reliability, less to retain optimum electrical
performance.
TA, max is the ambient temperature, 70°C for commercial
and 85°C for industrial range.
θJA is the thermal resistance of the mounted package,
obtained from datasheet dissipation curves.
The more difficult case is the SO-8 package. With a
maximum die temperature of 150°C and a maximum
ambient temperature of 85°C, the 65°C temperature rise and
package thermal resistance of 170°C/W gives a dissipation
of 382mW at 85°C. This allows a maximum supply voltage of
±8.5V for the EL4431 operated in our example. If an EL4430
were driving a light load (RPAR→∞), it could operate on
±15V supplies at a 70°C maximum ambient.
8
The output stage of the instrumentation amplifiers is very
powerful. It typically can source 80mA and sink 120mA. Of
course, this is too much current to sustain and the part will
eventually be destroyed by excessive dissipation or by metal
traces on the die opening. The metal traces are completely
reliable while delivering the 30mA continuous output given in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in this datasheet, or
higher purely transient currents.
Gain or gain accuracy degrades only 10% from no load to
100Ω load. Heavy resistive loading will degrade frequency
response and video distortion for loads <100Ω.
Capacitive loads will cause peaking in the frequency
response. If capacitive loads must be driven, a small-valued
series resistor can be used to isolate it (12Ω to 51Ω should
suffice). A 22Ω series resistor will limit peaking to 2.5dB with
even a 220pF load.
