The LT®1206 is a current feedback amplifier with high output
current drive capability and excellent video characteristics.
The LT1206 is stable with large capacitive loads, and can
easily supply the large currents required by the capacitive
loading. A shutdown feature switches the device into a
high impedance, low current mode, reducing dissipation
when the device is not in use. For lower bandwidth applications, the supply current can be reduced with a single
external resistor. The low differential gain and phase, wide
bandwidth, and the 250mA minimum output current drive
make the LT1206 well suited to drive multiple cables in
video systems.

Applications Information
The LT1206 is a 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.
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
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
The LT1206 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

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 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.
capacitor and the supply current is typically 100µA. The
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 LT1206. 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 LT1206 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.
15V
If the shutdown feature is not used, the SHUTDOWN pin
must be connected to ground or V –.
The shutdown pin can be used to either turn off the biasing for the amplifier, reducing the quiescent current to
less than 200µA, or to control the quiescent current in
normal operation.
The total bias current in the LT1206 is controlled by the current flowing out of the shutdown pin. When the shutdown
pin is open or driven to the positive supply, the part is shut
down. In the shutdown mode, the output looks like a 40pF

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.

Applications Information
For applications where the full bandwidth of the amplifier
is not required, the quiescent current of the device may be
reduced by connecting a resistor from the shutdown pin
to ground. The quiescent 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 quiescent 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.

50ns/DIV
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,
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 LT1206 for various
gain configurations. The slew rate varies from 860V/µs
for a gain of 1, to 1400V/µs for a gain of – 1.

margin, it is recommended that the input signal be less
than ±5V when the device is shut down.

When the LT1206 is used to drive capacitive loads, the
available output current can limit the overall slew rate. In
the fastest configuration, the LT1206 is capable of a slew
rate of over 1V/ns. The current required to slew a capacitor 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.
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
The LT1206 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.

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 LT1206 contains a thermal shutdown feature which
protects against excessive internal (junction) temperature.
If the junction temperature of the device exceeds the protection threshold, the device 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.
For surface mount devices 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
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.
Tables 1 and 2 list thermal resistance for each package.
For the TO-220 package, thermal resistance is given for
junction-to-case only since this package is usually mounted
to a heat sink. Measured values of thermal resistance for
several different board sizes and copper areas are listed
for each surface mount package. All measurements were
taken in still air on 3/32" FR-4 board with 1oz 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.
Calculating Junction Temperature
The junction temperature can be calculated from the
equation:
TJ = (PD × θJA) + TA
where:
TJ = Junction Temperature
TA = Ambient Temperature
PD = Device Dissipation
θJA = Thermal Resistance (Junction-to Ambient)
As an example, calculate the junction temperature for the
circuit in Figure 7 for the N8, S8, and R packages assuming
a 70°C ambient temperature.

The device dissipation can be found by measuring the
supply currents, calculating the total dissipation, and
then subtracting the dissipation in the load and feedback
network.
PD = (39mA × 30V) – (12V)2/(2k||2k) = 1.03W
Then:
TJ = (1.03W × 100°C/W) + 70°C = 173°C
for the N8 package.
TJ = (1.03W × 65°C/W) × + 70°C = 137°C
for the S8 with 225 sq. mm topside heat sinking.
TJ = (1.03W × 35°C/W) × + 70°C = 106°C
for the R package with 100 sq. mm topside heat
sinking.
Since the maximum junction temperature is 150°C, the
N8 package is clearly unacceptable. Both the S8 and R
packages are usable.
