70MHz/1mA Current Mode Feedback Amp
w/Disable
The EL2176/EL2276 are single/dual
current-feedback operational
amplifiers which achieve a -3dB
bandwidth of 70MHz at a gain of +1 while consuming only
1mA of supply current per amplifier. They will operate with
dual supplies ranging from ±1.5V to ±6V, or from single
supplies ranging from +3V to +12V. The EL2176/EL2276
also include a disable/power-down feature which reduces
current consumption to 0mA while placing the amplifier
output in a high impedance state. In spite of its low supply
current, the EL2276 can output 55mA while swinging to ±4V
on ±5V supplies. The EL2176 can output 100mA with similar
output swings. These attributes make the EL2176/EL2276
excellent choices for low power and/or low voltage cabledriver, HDSL, or RGB applications.
For Single, Dual and Quad applications without disable,
consider the EL2170 (8-Pin Single), EL2270 (8-Pin Dual) or
EL2470 (14-Pin Quad). For higher bandwidth applications
where low power is still a concern, consider the
EL2180/EL2186 family which also comes in similar Single,
Dual and Quad configurations. The EL2180/EL2186 family
provides a -3dB bandwidth of 250MHz while consuming
3mA of supply current per amplifier.

Applications Information
Product Description
The EL2176/EL2276 are current-feedback operational
amplifiers that offer a wide -3dB bandwidth of 70MHz, a low
supply current of 1mA per amplifier and the ability to disable
to 0mA. Both products also feature high output current drive.
The EL2176 can output 100mA, while the EL2276 can
output 55mA per amplifier. The EL2176/EL2276 work with
supply voltages ranging from a single 3V to ±6V, and they
are also capable of swinging to with in 1V of either supply on
the input and the output. Because of their current-feedback
topology, the EL2176/EL2276 do not have the normal gainbandwidth product associated with voltage-feedback
operational amplifiers. This allows their -3dB bandwidth to
remain relatively constant as closed-loop gain is increased.
This combination of high bandwidth and low power, together
with aggressive pricing make the EL2176/EL2276 the ideal
choice for many low-power/high-bandwidth applications such
as portable computing, HDSL, and video processing.
For Single, Dual and Quad applications without disable,
consider the EL2170 (8-Pin Single), EL2270 (8-Pin Dual)
and EL2470 (14-Pin Quad). If more AC performance is
required, refer to the EL2180/EL2186 family which provides
Singles, Duals, and Quads with 250MHz of bandwidth while
consuming 3mA of supply current per amplifier.
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. The
combination of a 4.7µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a
0.1µF capacitor has been shown to work well when placed at
each supply pin.
For good AC performance, parasitic capacitance should be
kept to a minimum especially at the inverting input (see the
Capacitance at the Inverting Input section). 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. Carbon or Metal-Film resistors are
acceptable with the Metal-Film resistors giving slightly less
peaking and bandwidth because of their additional series
inductance. Use of sockets, particularly for the SO package
should be avoided if possible. Sockets add parasitic
inductance and capacitance which will result in some
additional peaking and overshoot.

Disable/Power-Down
The EL2176/EL2276 amplifiers can be disabled, placing
their output in a high-impedance state. When disabled, each
amplifier's supply current is reduced to 0mA. Each
EL2176/EL2276 amplifier is disabled when its ENABLE pin
is floating or pulled up to within 0.5V of the positive supply.
Similarly, each amplifier is enabled by pulling its ENABLE pin
at least 3V below the positive supply. For ±5V supplies, this
means that an EL2176/EL2276 amplifier will be enabled
when ENABLE is at 2V or less, and disabled when ENABLE
is above 4.5V. Although the logic levels are not standard
TTL, this choice of logic voltages allows the EL2176/EL2276
to be enabled by tying ENABLE to ground, even in +3V
single-supply applications. The ENABLE pin can be driven
from CMOS outputs or open-collector TTL.
When enabled, supply current does vary somewhat with the
voltage applied at ENABLE. For example, with the supply
voltages of the EL2176 at ±5V, if ENABLE is tied to -5V
(rather than ground) the supply current will increase about
15% to 1.15mA.
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
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. The use of large
value feedback and gain resistors further exacerbates the
problem by further lowering the pole frequency.
The EL2176/EL2276 have been specially designed to
reduce power dissipation in the feedback network by using
large 1.0kΩ feedback and gain resistors. With the high
bandwidths of these amplifiers, these large resistor values
would normally cause stability problems when combined
with parasitic capacitance, but by internally canceling the
effects of a nominal amount of parasitic capacitance, the
EL2176/EL2276 remain very stable. For less experienced
users, this feature makes the EL2176/EL2276 much more
forgiving, and therefore easier to use than other products not
incorporating this proprietary circuitry.
The experienced user with a large amount of PC board
layout experience may find in rare cases that the
EL2176/EL2276 have less bandwidth than expected. In this
case, the inverting input may have less parasitic capacitance
than expected by the internal compensation circuitry of the
EL2176/EL2276. The reduction of feedback resistor values
(or the addition of a very small amount of external
capacitance at the inverting input, e.g., 0.5pF) will increase
bandwidth as desired. Please see the curves for Frequency
EL2176, EL2276
Response for Various RF and RG, and Frequency Response
for Various CIN-.
Feedback Resistor Values
The EL2176/EL2276 have been designed and specified at
gains of +1 and +2 with RF = 1.0kΩ. This value of feedback
resistor gives 70MHz of -3dB bandwidth at AV = +1 with
about 1.5dB of peaking, and 60MHz of -3dB bandwidth at AV
= +2 with about 0.5dB of peaking. Since the EL2176/EL2276
are current-feedback amplifiers, it is also possible to change
the value of RF to get more bandwidth. As seen in the curve
of Frequency Response For Various RF and RG, bandwidth
and peaking can be easily modified by varying the value of
the feedback resistor.
Because the EL2176 is a current-feedback amplifier, the
gain-bandwidth product is not a constant for different closedloop gains. This feature actually allows the EL2176/EL2276
to maintain about the same -3dB bandwidth, regardless of
closed-loop gain. However, as closed-loop gain is increased,
bandwidth decreases slightly while stability increases.
Since the loop stability is improving with higher closed-loop
gains, it becomes possible to reduce the value of RF below
the specified 1.0kΩ and still retain stability, resulting in only a
slight loss of bandwidth with increased closed-loop gain.
Supply Voltage Range and Single-Supply
Operation
The EL2176/EL2276 have been designed to operate with
supply voltages having a span of greater than 3V, and less
than 12V. In practical terms, this means that the
EL2176/EL2276 will operate on dual supplies ranging from
±1.5V to ±6V. With a single-supply, the EL2176 will operate
from +3V to +12V.
As supply voltages continue to decrease, it becomes
necessary to provide input and output voltage ranges that
can get as close as possible to the supply voltages. The
EL2176/EL2276 have an input voltage range that extends to
within 1V of either supply. So, for example, on a single +5V
supply, the EL2176/EL2276 have an input range which
spans from 1V to 4V. The output range of the
EL2176/EL2276 is also quite large, extending to within 1V of
the supply rail. On a ±5V supply, the output is therefore
capable of swinging from -4V to +4V. Single-supply output
range is even larger because of the increased negative
swing due to the external pull-down resistor to ground. On a
single +5V supply, output voltage range is about 0.3V to 4V.
Video Performance
For good video performance, an amplifier is required to
maintain the same output impedance and the same
frequency response as DC levels are changed at the output.
This is especially difficult when driving a standard video load
of 150Ω, because of the change in output current with DC
level. Until the EL2176/EL2276, good Differential Gain could
only be achieved by running high idle currents through the
10
output transistors (to reduce variations in output impedance).
These currents were typically in excess of the entire 1mA
supply current of each EL2176/EL2276 amplifier! Special
circuitry has been incorporated in the EL2176/EL2276 to
reduce the variation of output impedance with current output.
This results in dG and dP specifications of 0.15% and 0.15°
while driving 150Ω at a gain of +2.
Video Performance has also been measured with a 500Ω
load at a gain of +1. Under these conditions, the
EL2176/EL2276 have dG and dP specifications of 0.01%
and 0.02° respectively while driving 500Ω at AV = +1.
Output Drive Capability
In spite of its low 1mA of supply current, the EL2176 is
capable of providing a minimum of ±80mA of output current.
Similarly, each amplifier of the EL2276 is capable of
providing a minimum of ±50mA. These output drive levels
are unprecedented in amplifiers running at these supply
currents. With a minimum ±80mA of output drive, the
EL2176 is capable of driving 50Ω loads to ±4V, making it an
excellent choice for driving isolation transformers in
telecommunications applications. Similarly, the ±50mA
minimum output drive of each EL2276 amplifier allows
swings of ±2.5V into 50Ω loads.
Driving Cables and Capacitive Loads
When used as a cable driver, double termination is always
recommended for reflection-free performance. For those
applications, the back-termination series resistor will
decouple the EL2176/EL2276 from the cable and allow
extensive capacitive drive. However, other applications may
have high capacitive loads without a back-termination
resistor. In these applications, a small series resistor (usually
between 5Ω and 50Ω) can be placed in series with the
output to eliminate most peaking. The gain resistor (RG) can
then be chosen to make up for any gain loss which may be
created by this additional resistor at the output. In many
cases it is also possible to simply increase the value of the
feedback resistor (RF) to reduce the peaking.
Current Limiting
The EL2176/EL2276 have no internal current-limiting
circuitry. If any output is shorted, it is possible to exceed the
Absolute Maximum Ratings for output current or power
dissipation, potentially resulting in the destruction of the
device.
Power Dissipation
With the high output drive capability of the EL2176/EL2276,
it is possible to exceed the 150°C Absolute Maximum
junction temperature under certain very high load current
conditions. Generally speaking, when RL falls below about
25Ω, it is important to calculate the maximum junction
temperatu re (TJmax) for the application to determine if
power-supply voltages, load conditions, or package type
need to be modified for the EL2176/EL2276 to remain in the
EL2176, EL2276
safe operating area. These parameters are calculated as
follows:
TJMAX = TMAX + (θJA * n * PDMAX) [1]
where:
PDMAX for each amplifier can be calculated as follows:
PDMAX = (2 * VS * ISMAX) + (VS - VOUTMAX) *
(VOUTMAX/RL)) [2]
where:
TMAX=Maximum Ambient Temperature
VS=Supply Voltage
