LT1207 Dual 250mA/60MHz Current Feedback Amplifier U DESCRIPTIO FEATURES ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ The LT ® 1207 is a dual version of the LT1206 high speed current feedback amplifier. Like the LT1206, each CFA in the dual has excellent video characteristics: 60MHz bandwidth, 250mA minimum output drive current, 400V/µs minimum slew rate, low differential gain (0.02% typ) and low differential phase (0.17° typ). The LT1207 includes a pin for an optional compensation network which stabilizes the amplifier for heavy capacitive loads. Both amplifiers have thermal and current limit circuits which protect against fault conditions. These capabilities make the LT1207 well suited for driving difficult loads such as cables in video or digital communication systems. 250mA Minimum Output Drive Current 60MHz Bandwidth, AV = 2, RL = 100Ω 900V/µs Slew Rate, AV = 2, RL = 50Ω 0.02% Differential Gain, AV = 2, RL = 30Ω 0.17° Differential Phase, AV = 2, RL = 30Ω High Input Impedance: 10MΩ Shutdown Mode: IS < 200µA per Amplifier Stable with CL = 10,000pF U APPLICATIO S ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ADSL/HDSL Drivers Video Amplifiers Cable Drivers RGB Amplifiers Test Equipment Amplifiers Buffers Operation is fully specified from ±5V to ±15V supplies. Supply current is typically 20mA per amplifier. Two micropower shutdown controls place each amplifier in a high impedance low current mode, dropping supply current to 200µA per amplifier. For reduced bandwidth applications, supply current can be lowered by adding a resistor in series with the Shutdown pin. The LT1207 is manufactured on Linear Technology's complementary bipolar process and is available in a low thermal resistance 16-lead SO package. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

LT1207 is a dual current feedback amplifier with high output current drive capability. The device is stable with large capacitive loads and can easily supply the high currents required by capacitive loads. The amplifier will drive low impedance loads such as cables with excellent linearity at high frequencies. line when the response has 0.5dB to 5dB of peaking. The curves stop where the response has more than 5dB of peaking. For resistive loads, the COMP pin should be left open (see section on capacitive loads). Capacitive Loads Feedback Resistor Selection The optimum value for the feedback resistors is a function of the operating conditions of the device, the load impedance and the desired flatness of response. The Typical AC Performance tables give the values which result in the highest 0.1dB and 0.5dB bandwidths for various resistive loads and operating conditions. If this level of flatness is not required, a higher bandwidth can be obtained by use of a lower feedback resistor. The characteristic curves of Bandwidth vs Supply Voltage indicate feedback resistors for peaking up to 5dB. These curves use a solid line when the response has less than 0.5dB of peaking and a dashed 8 Each amplifier in the LT1207 includes an optional compensation network for driving capacitive loads. This network eliminates most of the output stage peaking associated with capacitive loads, allowing the frequency response to be flattened. Figure 1 shows the effect of the network on a 200pF load. Without the optional compensation, there is a 5dB peak at 40MHz caused by the effect of the capacitance on the output stage. Adding a 0.01µF bypass capacitor between the output and the COMP pins connects the compensation and completely eliminates the peaking. A lower value feedback resistor can now be used, resulting in a response which is flat to 0.35dB to 30MHz.

Each Shutdown pin is referenced to the positive supply through an internal bias circuit (see the Simplified Schematic). An easy way to force shutdown is to use open drain (collector) logic. The circuit shown in Figure 2 uses a 74C904 buffer to interface between 5V logic and the LT1207. The switching time between the active and shutdown states is less than 1µs. A 24k pull-up resistor speeds up the turn-off time and insures that the amplifier is completely turned off. Because the pin is referenced to the positive supply, the logic used should have a breakdown voltage of greater than the positive supply voltage. No other circuitry is necessary as the internal circuit limits the Shutdown pin current to about 500µA. Figure 3 shows the resulting waveforms. The network has the greatest effect for CL in the range of 0pF to 1000pF. The graph of Maximum Capacitive Load vs Feedback Resistor can be used to select the appropriate value of the feedback resistor. The values shown are for 0.5dB and 5dB peaking at a gain of 2 with no resistive load. This is a worst-case condition, as the amplifier is more stable at higher gains and with some resistive load in parallel with the capacitance. Also shown is the –3dB bandwidth with the suggested feedback resistor vs the load capacitance. 15V VOUT 1/2 LT1207 SHDN – –15V RF 15V 5V RG 24k ENABLE Although the optional compensation works well with capacitive loads, it simply reduces the bandwidth when it is connected with resistive loads. For instance, with a 30Ω load, the bandwidth drops from 55MHz to 35MHz when the compensation is connected. Hence, the compensation was made optional. To disconnect the optional compensation, leave the COMP pin open. 74C906 LT1207 • F02 Figure 2. Shutdown Interface VOUT Shutdown/Current Set + VIN Each amplifier has a separate Shutdown pin which can be used to either turn off the amplifier, which reduces the amplifier supply current to less than 200µA, or to control the supply current in normal operation. The supply current in each amplifier is controlled by the current flowing out of the Shutdown pin. When the Shutdown pin is open or driven to the positive supply, the amplifier is shut down. In the shutdown mode, the output looks like a 40pF capacitor and the supply current is ENABLE If the shutdown feature is not used, the Shutdown pins must be connected to ground or V –.

Shutdown Operation For applications where the full bandwidth of the amplifier is not required, the quiescent current may be reduced by connecting a resistor from the Shutdown pin to ground. 9 LT1207 U W U UO APPLICATI S I FOR ATIO The amplifier’s supply current will be approximately 40 times the current in the Shutdown pin. The voltage across the resistor in this condition is V + – 3VBE. For example, a 60k resistor will set the amplifier’s supply current to 10mA with VS = ±15V. The photos (Figures 4a and 4b) show the effect of reducing the quiescent supply current on the large-signal response. The quiescent current can be reduced to 5mA in the inverting configuration without much change in response. In noninverting mode, however, the slew rate is reduced as the quiescent current is reduced. and for higher gains in the noninverting mode, the signal amplitude on the input pins is small and the overall slew rate is that of the output stage. The input stage slew rate is related to the quiescent current and will be reduced as the supply current is reduced. The output slew rate is set by the value of the feedback resistors and the internal capacitance. Larger feedback resistors will reduce the slew rate as will lower supply voltages, similar to the way the bandwidth is reduced. The photos (Figures 5a, 5b and 5c) show the large-signal response of the LT1207 or various gain configurations. The slew rate varies from 860V/µs for a gain of 1, to 1400V/µs for a gain of – 1. When the LT1207 is used to drive capacitive loads, the available output current can limit the overall slew rate. In the fastest configuration, the LT1207 is capable of a slew rate of over 1V/ns. The current required to slew a capacitor RF = 750Ω RL = 50Ω IQ = 5mA, 10mA, 20mA VS = ±15V LT1207 • F04a Figure 4a.

Large-Signal Response vs IQ, AV = 2 Slew Rate Unlike a traditional op amp, the slew rate of a current feedback amplifier is not independent of the amplifier gain configuration. There are slew rate limitations in both the input stage and the output stage. In the inverting mode, 10 RF = RG = 750Ω RL = 50Ω VS = ±15V LT1207 • F05b Figure 5b. Large-Signal Response, AV = –1 LT1207 W U U UO APPLICATI S I FOR ATIO Capacitance on the Inverting Input Current feedback amplifiers require resistive feedback from the output to the inverting input for stable operation. Take care to minimize the stray capacitance between the output and the inverting input. Capacitance on the inverting input to ground will cause peaking in the frequency response (and overshoot in the transient response), but it does not degrade the stability of the amplifier. Power Supplies LT1207 • F05c RF = 750Ω RL = 50Ω Figure 5c. Large-Signal Response, AV = 2 at this rate is 1mA per picofarad of capacitance, so 10,000pF would require 10A! The photo (Figure 6) shows the large-signal behavior with CL = 10,000pF. The slew rate is about 60V/µs, determined by the current limit of 600mA. VS = ±15V RF = RG = 3k RL = ∞ LT1207 • F06 Figure 6. Large-Signal Response, CL = 10,000pF Differential Input Signal Swing The differential input swing is limited to about ±6V by an ESD protection device connected between the inputs. In normal operation, the differential voltage between the input pins is small, so this clamp has no effect; however, in the shutdown mode the differential swing can be the same as the input swing. The clamp voltage will then set the maximum allowable input voltage. To allow for some margin, it is recommended that the input signal be less than ±5V when the device is shut down. The LT1207 will operate from single or split supplies from ±5V (10V total) to ±15V (30V total). It is not necessary to use equal value split supplies, however the offset voltage and inverting input bias current will change. The offset voltage changes about 500µV per volt of supply mismatch. The inverting bias current can change as much as 5µA per volt of supply mismatch, though typically the change is less than 0.5µA per volt. Thermal Considerations Each amplifier in the LT1207 includes a separate thermal shutdown circuit which protects against excessive internal (junction) temperature. If the junction temperature exceeds the protection threshold, the amplifier will begin cycling between normal operation and an off state. The cycling is not harmful to the part. The thermal cycling occurs at a slow rate, typically 10ms to several seconds, which depends on the power dissipation and the thermal time constants of the package and heat sinking. Raising the ambient temperature until the device begins thermal shutdown gives a good indication of how much margin there is in the thermal design. Heat flows away from the amplifier through the package’s copper lead frame. Heat sinking is accomplished by using the heat spreading capabilities of the PC board and its copper traces. Experiments have shown that the heat spreading copper layer does not need to be electrically connected to the tab of the device. The PCB material can be very effective at transmitting heat between the pad area attached to the tab of the device and a ground or power plane layer either inside or on the opposite side of the board. Although the actual thermal resistance of the PCB material is high, the length/area ratio of the thermal 11 LT1207 W U U UO APPLICATI S I FOR ATIO resistance between the layer is small. Copper board stiffeners and plated through holes can also be used to spread the heat generated by the device. Table 1 lists thermal resistance for several different board sizes and copper areas. All measurements were taken in still air on 3/32" FR-4 board with 2oz copper. This data can be used as a rough guideline in estimating thermal resistance. The thermal resistance for each application will be affected by thermal interactions with other components as well as board size and shape. Table 1.

Thermal Resistance vs Total Copper Area (Top + Bottom) Calculating Junction Temperature The junction temperature can be calculated from the equation: TJ = (PD)(θJA) + TA 12 where: The maximum junction temperature for the LT1207 is 150°C, so the heat sinking capability of the board is adequate for the application. If the copper area on the PC board is reduced to 280mm2 the thermal resistance increases to 60°C/W and the junction temperature becomes: TJ = (1.674W)(60°C/W) + 70°C = 170°C Which is above the maximum junction temperature indicating that the heat sinking capability of the board is inadequate and should be increased.
