Data Sheet Comlinear CLC1001 ® Ultra-Low Noise Amplifier The COMLINEAR CLC1001(single) is a high-performance, voltage feedback amplifier with ultra-low input voltage noise, 0.6nV/√Hz. The CLC1001 provides 2.1GHz gain bandwidth product and 410V/μs slew rate making it well suited for high-speed data acquisition systems requiring high levels of sensitivity and signal integrity. This COMLINEAR high-performance amplifier also offers low input offset voltage. The COMLINEAR CLC1001 is designed to operate from 4V to 12V supplies. It consumes only 12.5mA of supply current per channel and offers a power saving disable pin that disables the amplifier and decreases the supply current to below 225μA. The CLC1001 amplifier operates over the extended temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Typical Inverting Gain Circuit Achieving Low Noise in an Application Making full use of the low noise of the CLC1001 requires careful consideration of resistor values. The feedback and gain set resistors (Rf and Rg) and the non-inverting source impedance (Rsource) all contribute noise to the circuit and can easily dominate the overall noise if their values are too high. The datasheet is specified with an Rg of 22.1Ω, at which point the noise from Rf and Rg is about equal to the noise from the CLC1001. Lower value resistors could be used at the expense of more distortion. Figure 3 shows ©2007-2013 Exar Corporation Rev 1G Input G = +41 1.5 Rf (Ohms) Figure 1.

These three sources are analogous to the DC input voltage and current errors Vos, Ibn and Ibi. The noise models must be analyzed in-circuit to determine the effect on the op amp output noise. Since noise is statistical in nature rather than a continuous signal, the set of noise sources in circuit add in an RMS (root mean square) fashion rather than in a linear fashion. For uncorrelated noise sources, this means you add the squares of the noise voltages.

In general, reducing RS will increase bandwidth at the expense of additional overshoot and ringing. Overdrive Recovery An overdrive condition is defined as the point when either one of the inputs or the output exceed their specified voltage range. Overdrive recovery is the time needed for the amplifier to return to its normal or linear operating point. The recovery time varies, based on whether the input or output is overdriven and by how much the range is exceeded. The CLC1001 will typically recover in less than 25ns from an overdrive condition. Figure 6 shows the CLC1001 in an overdriven condition. ©2007-2013 Exar Corporation General layout and supply bypassing play major roles in high frequency performance. has evaluation boards to use as a guide for high frequency layout and as an aid in device testing and characterization. Follow the steps below as a basis for high frequency layout: ▪▪Include 6.8µF and 0.1µF ceramic capacitors for power supply decoupling ▪▪Place the 6.8µF capacitor within 0.75 inches of the power pin ▪▪Place the 0.1µF capacitor within 0.1 inches of the power pin ▪▪Remove the ground plane under and around the part, especially near the input and output pins to reduce parasitic capacitance ▪▪Minimize all trace lengths to reduce series inductances Refer to the evaluation board layouts below for more information. Evaluation Board Information The following evaluation boards are available to aid in the testing and layout of these devices: Evaluation Board # CEB002 CEB003 15/17 Products CLC1001 in SOT23-5 CLC1001 in SOIC-8 Rev 1G Rev 1G CL (pF) Layout Considerations Comlinear CLC1001 Ultra-Low Noise Amplifier Input 6 G = 10 Output Voltage (V) Increased phase delay at the output due to capacitive loading can cause ringing, peaking in the frequency response, and possible unstable behavior. Use a series resistance, RS, between the amplifier and the load to help improve stability and settling performance. Refer to Figure 5. Data Sheet Evaluation Board Schematics Comlinear CLC1001 Ultra-Low Noise Amplifier Evaluation board schematics and layouts are shown in Figures 7-11. These evaluation boards are built for dualsupply operation. Follow these steps to use the board in a single-supply application: 1. Short -Vs to ground. 2. Use C3 and C4, if the -VS pin of the amplifier is not directly connected to the ground plane. Figure 9. CEB002 Bottom View Rev 1G Figure 7. CEB002/CEB003 Schematic Figure 10.
