PACKAGE POWER DISSIPATION vs AMBIENT TEMPERATURE Description of Operation and Application Information Product Description The EL5624A is fabricated using a high voltage CMOS process. It exhibits rail to rail input and output capability and has very low power consumption. When driving a load of 10K and 12pF, this buffer has a -3dB bandwidth of 12MHz and exhibit 18V/µs slew rate. The VCOM amplifier has a -3dB bandwidth of 35MHz and exhibit 70V/µs slew rate. Input, Output, and Supply Voltage Range The EL5624A is specified with a single nominal supply voltage from 5V to 15V or a split supply with its total range from 5V to 15V. Correct operation is guaranteed for a supply range from 4.5V to 16.5V. 7 The input common-mode voltage range of the EL5624A extends 500mV beyond the supply rails. The output swings of the buffers and VCOM amplifier typically extend to within 100mV of the positive and negative supply rails with load currents of 5mA. Decreasing load currents will extend the output voltage even closer to each supply rails. Output Phase Reversal The EL5624A is immune to phase reversal as long as the input voltage is limited from VS- -0.5V to VS+ +0.5V. Although the device's output will not change phase, the input's overvoltage should be avoided. If an input voltage exceeds supply voltage by more than 0.6V, electrostatic protection diode placed in the input stage of the device begin to conduct and overvoltage damage could occur. FN7506.0 February 14, 2005 EL5624A Choice of Feedback Resistor and Gain Bandwidth Product for VCOM Amplifier The maximum power dissipation allowed in a package is determined according to: For applications that require a gain of +1, no feedback resistor is required. Just short the output pin to the inverting input pin. For gains greater than +1, the feedback resistor forms a pole with the parasitic capacitance at the inverting input. As this pole becomes smaller, the amplifier's phase margin is reduced. This causes ringing in the time domain and peaking in the frequency domain. Therefore, RF has some maximum value that should not be exceeded for optimum performance. If a large value of RF must be used, a small capacitor in the few Pico farad range in parallel with RF can help to reduce the ringing and peaking at the expense of reducing the bandwidth. T JMAX - T AMAX P DMAX = -------------------------------------------Θ JA As far as the output stage of the amplifier is concerned, the output stage is also a gain stage with the load. RF and RG appear in parallel with RL for gains other than +1. As this combination gets smaller, the bandwidth falls off. Consequently, RF also has a minimum value that should not be exceeded for optimum performance. For gain of +1, RF = 0 is optimum. For the gains other than +1, optimum response is obtained with RF between 1kΩ to 5kΩ. The VCOM amplifier has a gain bandwidth product of 20MHz. For gains ≥5, its bandwidth can be predicted by the following equation: where: • TJMAX = Maximum junction temperature • TAMAX = Maximum ambient temperature • θJA = Thermal resistance of the package • PDMAX = Maximum power dissipation in the package The maximum power dissipation actually produced by an IC is the total quiescent supply current times the total power supply voltage, plus the power in the IC due to the loads, or: P DMAX = V S × I S + Σi × [ ( V S + – V OUT i ) × I LOAD i ] + ( V S + – V OUT ) × I LA when sourcing, and: P DMAX = V S × I S + Σi × [ ( V OUT i – V S - ) × I LOAD i ] + ( V OUT – V S - ) × I LA when sinking. where: Gain × BW = 20MHz • i = 1 to total number of buffers Output Drive Capability • VS = Total supply voltage of buffer and VCOM The EL5624A does not have internal short-circuit protection circuitry. The buffer will limit the short circuit current to over 250mA and the VCOM amplifier will limit the short circuit current to ±200mA if the outputs are directly shorted to the positive or the negative supply. If the output is shorted indefinitely, the power dissipation could easily increase such that the part will be destroyed. Maximum reliability is maintained if the output continuous current never exceeds ±30mA for the buffers and ±60mA for the VCOM amplifier. These limits are set by the design of the internal metal interconnections. • ISMAX = Total quiescent current The Unused Buffers It is recommended that any unused buffers should have their inputs tied to ground plane. Power Dissipation With the high-output drive capability of the EL5624A, it is possible to exceed the 125°C “absolute-maximum junction temperature” under certain load current conditions. Therefore, it is important to calculate the maximum junction temperature for the application to determine if load conditions need to be modified for the buffer to remain in the safe operating area. 8 • VOUTi = Maximum output voltage of the application • VOUT = Maximum output voltage of VCOM • ILOADi = Load current of buffer • ILA = Load current of VCOM If we set the two PDMAX equations equal to each other, we can solve for the RLOAD's to avoid device overheat. The package power dissipation curves provide a convenient way to see if the device will overheat. The maximum safe power dissipation can be found graphically, based on the package type and the ambient temperature. By using the previous equation, it is a simple matter to see if PDMAX exceeds the device's power derating curves. 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, and the power supply pins must be well bypassed to reduce the risk of oscillation. For normal single supply operation, where the VS- pin is connected to ground, one 0.1µF ceramic capacitor should be FN7506.0 February 14, 2005 EL5624A placed from the VS+ pin to ground. A 4.7µF tantalum capacitor should then be connected from the VS+ pin to ground. One 4.7µF capacitor may be used for multiple devices. This same capacitor combination should be placed at each supply pin to ground if split supplies are to be used. Important Note: The metal plane used for heat sinking of the device is electrically connected to the negative supply potential (VS-). If VS- is tied to ground, the thermal pad can be connected to ground. Otherwise, the thermal pad must be isolated from any other power planes.
