EL2120 ® Data Sheet January 1996, Rev E FN7044 100MHz Current Feedback Amplifier Features The EL2120 is a wideband current feedback amplifier optimized for video performance. Its 0.01% differential gain and 0.03 degree differential phase performance when at ±5V supplies exceeds the performance of other amplifiers running on ±15V supplies. Operating on ±8 to ±15V supplies reduces distortions to 0.01% and 0.01 degrees and below. The EL2120 can operate with supplies as low as ±2.5V or a single +5V supply. • Excellent differential gain and phase on ±5V to ±15V supplies Being a current feedback design, bandwidth is a relatively constant 100MHz over the ±1 to ±10 gain range. The EL2120 has been optimized for flat gain over frequency and all characteristics are maintained at positive unity gain. Because the input slew rate is similar to the 700V/µs output slew rate the part makes an excellent high-speed buffer. The EL2120 has a superior output disable function. Time to enable or disable is 50ns and does not change markedly with temperature. Furthermore, in disable mode the output does not draw excessive currents when driven with 1000V/µs slew rates. The output appears as a 3pF load when disabled.

It is designed to provide good high-frequency performance over wide supply voltage, load impedance, gain, temperature, and manufacturing lot variations. It is a well-behaved amplifier in spite of its 100MHz bandwidth, but a few precautions should be taken to obtain maximum performance. The power supply pins must be well bypassed. 0.01µF ceramic capacitors are adequate, but lead length should be kept below 1/4” and a ground plane is recommended. Bypassing with 4.7µF tantalum capacitors can improve 7 settling characteristics, and smaller capacitors in parallel will not be needed. The lead length of sockets generally deteriorates the amplifier's frequency response by exaggerating peaking and increasing ringing in response to transients. Short sockets cause little degradation. Load capacitance also increases ringing and peaking. Capacitance greater than 35pF should be isolated with a series resistor. Capacitance at the VIN- terminal has a similar effect, and should be kept below 5pF. Often, the inductance of the leads of a load capacitance will be selfresonant at frequencies from 40MHz to 200MHz and can cause oscillations. A resonant load can be de-Q'ed with a small series or parallel resistor. A “snubber” can sometimes EL2120 be used to reduce resonances. This is a resistor and capacitor in series connected from output to ground. Values of 68Ω and 33pF are typical. Increasing the feedback resistor can also improve frequency flatness. The VIN+ pin can oscillate in the 200MHz to 500MHz realm if presented with a resonant or inductive source impedance. A series 27Ω to 68Ω resistor right on the VIN+ pin will suppress such oscillations without affecting frequency response. -3dB bandwidth is inversely proportional to the value of feedback resistor RF. The EL2120 will tolerate values as low as 180Ω for a maximum bandwidth of about 140MHz, but peaking will increase and tolerance to stray capacitance will reduce. At gains greater than 5, -3dB bandwidth begins to reduce, and a smaller RF can be used to maximize frequency response. The greatest frequency response flatness (to 0.1dB, for instance) occurs with RF = 300Ω to 330Ω. Even the moderate peaking caused by lower values of RF will cause the gain to peak out of the 0.1dB window, and higher values of RF will cause an overcompensated response where the gain falls below the 0.1dB level. Parasitic capacitances will generally degrade the frequency flatness. The EL2120 should not output a continuous current above 50mA, as stated in the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS table. The output current limit is set to 120mA at a die temperature of 25°C and reduces to 85mA at a die temperature of 150°C. This large current is needed to slew load capacitance and drive low impedance loads with low distortion but cannot be supported continuously. Furthermore, package dissipation capabilities cannot be met under short-circuit conditions. Current limit should not occur longer than a few seconds. The output disable function of the EL2120 is optimized for video performance. While in disable mode, the feedthrough of the circuit can be modeled as a 0.2pF capacitor from VIN+ to the output. No more than ±5V can be placed between VIN+ and VIN- in disable mode, but this is compatible with common video signal levels. In disabled state the output can withstand about 1000V/µs slew rate signals impressed on it without the output transistors turning on. The /Disable pin logic level is referred to V+. With ±5V supplies, a CMOS or TTL driver with pull-up resistor will suffice. ±15V supplies require a +14/+11V drive span, or +15/+10V nominally. Open-collector TTL with a tapped pullup resistor can provide these spans. The impedance of the divider should be 1k or less for optimum enable/disable speed. The EL2120 enables in 50ns or less. When VIN = 0, only a small switching glitch occurs at the output. When VIN is some other value, the output overshoots by about 0.7V when settling toward its new enabled value. 8 When the EL2120 disables, it turns off very rapidly for inputs of ±1V or less, and the output sags more slowly for inputs larger than this. For inputs as large as ±2.5V the output current can be absorbed by another EL2120 simultaneously enabled. Under these conditions, switching will be properly completed in 50ns or less. The greater thermal resistance of the SO-8 package requires that the EL2120 be operated from ±10V supplies or less to maintain the 150°C maximum die temperature over the commercial temperature range. The P-DIP package allows the full ±16.5V supply operation.

It was developed for the PSPICE simulator (copyrighted by the Microsim corporation), and may need to be rearranged for other simulators, particularly the H operator. It approximates frequency response and small-signal transients as well, although the effects of load capacitance does not show. This model is slightly more complicated than the models used for low-frequency op-amps, but is much more accurate for AC. The model does not simulate these characteristics accurately: • noise • non-linearities • slew rate limitations • temperature effects • settling time • manufacturing variations • input or output resonances • CMRR and PSRR * Revision A.
