360MHz, Low Power, Video Operational
Amplifier with Output Limiting
The HFA1135 is a high speed, low power current feedback
amplifier build with Intersil’s proprietary complementary
bipolar UHF-1 process. This amplifier features user
programmable output limiting, via the VH and VL pins.
The HFA1135 is the ideal choice for high speed, low power
applications requiring output limiting (e.g. flash A/D drivers),
especially those requiring fast overdrive recovery times. The
limiting function allows the designer to set the maximum and
minimum output levels to protect downstream stages from
damage or input saturation. The sub-nanosecond overdrive
recovery time ensures a quick return to linear operation
following an overdrive condition.

NOTES:
2. Test Level: A. Production Tested; B. Typical or Guaranteed Limit Based on Characterization; C. Design Typical for Information Only.
3. The optimum feedback resistor for the HFA1135 at AV = +1 is 1.5kΩ. The Production Tested parameters are tested with RF = 510Ω because
the HFA1135 shares test hardware with the HFA1105 amplifier.
4. Undershoot dominates for output signal swings below GND (e.g., 0.5VP-P), yielding a higher overshoot limit compared to the VOUT = 0V to 0.5V
condition. See the “Application Information” section for details.
5. See Typical Performance Curves for more information.
6. Slew rates are asymmetrical if the output swings below GND (e.g., a bipolar signal). Positive unipolar output signals have symmetric positive and
negative slew rates comparable to the +SR specification. See the “Application Information” section, and the pulse response graphs for details.

Optimum Feedback Resistor
Although a current feedback amplifier’s bandwidth
dependency on closed loop gain isn’t as severe as that of a
voltage feedback amplifier, there can be an appreciable
decrease in bandwidth at higher gains. This decrease may
be minimized by taking advantage of the current feedback
amplifier’s unique relationship between bandwidth and RF.
All current feedback amplifiers require a feedback resistor,
even for unity gain applications, and RF, in conjunction with
the internal compensation capacitor, sets the dominant pole
of the frequency response. Thus, the amplifier’s bandwidth is
inversely proportional to RF. The HFA1135 design is
optimized for a 250Ω RF at a gain of +2. Decreasing RF
decreases stability, resulting in excessive peaking and
overshoot (Note: Capacitive feedback will cause the same
HFA1135
The table below lists recommended RF values, and the
expected bandwidth, for various closed loop gains.

Non-inverting Input Source Impedance
For best operation, the DC source impedance seen by the
non-inverting input should be ≥50Ω. This is especially
important in inverting gain configurations where the noninverting input would normally be connected directly to GND.
Pulse Undershoot and Asymmetrical Slew Rates
The HFA1135 utilizes a quasi-complementary output stage
to achieve high output current while minimizing quiescent
supply current. In this approach, a composite device
replaces the traditional PNP pulldown transistor. The
composite device switches modes after crossing 0V,
resulting in added distortion for signals swinging below
ground, and an increased undershoot on the negative
portion of the output waveform (see Figures 9, 13, and 17).
This undershoot isn’t present for small bipolar signals, or
large positive signals. Another artifact of the composite
device is asymmetrical slew rates for output signals with a
negative voltage component. The slew rate degrades as the
output signal crosses through 0V (see Figures 9, 13, and
17), resulting in a slower overall negative slew rate. Positive
only signals have symmetrical slew rates as illustrated in the
large signal positive pulse response graphs (see Figures 7,
11, and 15).
PC Board Layout
This amplifier’s frequency response depends greatly on the
care taken in designing the PC board. The use of low
inductance components such as chip resistors and chip
capacitors is strongly recommended, while a solid
ground plane is a must!
Attention should be given to decoupling the power supplies.
A large value (10µF) tantalum in parallel with a small value
(0.1µF) chip capacitor works well in most cases.
Terminated microstrip signal lines are recommended at the
input and output of the device. Capacitance directly on the
output must be minimized, or isolated as discussed in the
next section.
5
Care must also be taken to minimize the capacitance to
ground at the amplifier’s inverting input (-IN), as this
capacitance causes gain peaking, pulse overshoot, and if
large enough, instability. To reduce this capacitance, the
designer should remove the ground plane under traces
connected to -IN, and keep connections to -IN as short as
possible.
An example of a good high frequency layout is the
Evaluation Board shown in Figure 2.
Driving Capacitive Loads
Capacitive loads, such as an A/D input, or an improperly
terminated transmission line degrade the amplifier’s phase
margin resulting in frequency response peaking and possible
oscillations. In most cases, the oscillation can be avoided by
placing a resistor (RS) in series with the output prior to the
capacitance.
Figure 1 details starting points for the selection of this
resistor. The points on the curve indicate the RS and CL
combinations for the optimum bandwidth, stability, and
settling time, but experimental fine tuning is recommended.
Picking a point above or to the right of the curve yields an
overdamped response, while points below or left of the curve
indicate areas of underdamped performance.
RS and CL form a low pass network at the output, thus
limiting system bandwidth well below the amplifier bandwidth
of 660MHz (AV = +1). By decreasing RS as CL increases (as
illustrated by the curves), the maximum bandwidth is
obtained without sacrificing stability. In spite of this,
bandwidth still decreases as the load capacitance increases.
For example, at AV = +1, RS = 50Ω, CL = 20pF, the overall
bandwidth is 170MHz, but the bandwidth drops to 45MHz at
AV = +1, RS = 10Ω, CL = 330pF.

problems due to the feedback impedance decrease at higher
frequencies). At higher gains the amplifier is more stable, so
RF can be decreased in a trade-off of stability for bandwidth.

Evaluation Board
The performance of the HFA1135 may be evaluated using
the HFA11XX evaluation board (part number
HFA11XXEVAL). Please contact your local sales office for
information. When evaluating this amplifier at a gain of +2,
the two 510Ω gain setting resistors on the evaluation board
should be changed to 250Ω.
The layout and schematic of the board are shown in Figure 2.
NOTE: The SOIC version may be evaluated in the DIP board by
using a SOIC-to-DIP adapter such as Aries Electronics part number
08-350000-10.

of the amplifier. VH sets the upper output limit, while VL sets
the lower limit level. If the amplifier tries to drive the output
above VH, or below VL, the clamp circuitry limits the output
voltage at VH or VL (± the limit accuracy), respectively. The
low input bias currents of the limit pins allow them to be
driven by simple resistive divider circuits, or active elements
such as amplifiers or DACs.
Limit Circuitry
Figure 3 shows a simplified schematic of the HFA1135 input
stage, and the high limit (VH) circuitry. As with all current
feedback amplifiers, there is a unity gain buffer (QX1 - QX2)
between the positive and negative inputs. This buffer forces
-IN to track +IN, and sets up a slewing current of:

output via another unity gain buffer. If no limiting is utilized,
the high impedance node may swing within the limits defined
by QP4 and QN4. Note that when the output reaches its
quiescent value, the current flowing through -IN is reduced to
only that small current (-IBIAS) required to keep the output at
the final voltage.
FIGURE 2. EVALUATION BOARD SCHEMATIC AND LAYOUT
Limiting Operation
General
The HFA1135 features user programmable output clamps to
limit output voltage excursions. Limiting action is obtained by
applying voltages to the VH and VL terminals (pins 8 and 5)
6
Tracing the path from VH to Z illustrates the effect of the limit
voltage on the high impedance node. VH decreases by 2VBE
(QN6 and QP6) to set up the base voltage on QP5 . QP5
begins to conduct whenever the high impedance node
reaches a voltage equal to QP5’s base voltage + 2VBE (QP5
and QN5). Thus, QP5 limits node Z whenever Z reaches VH .
R1 provides a pull-up network to ensure functionality with the
limit inputs floating. A similar description applies to the
symmetrical low limit circuitry controlled by VL.
HFA1135
As an example, a unity gain circuit with VIN = 2V, and VH = 1V,
would have ILIMIT = (2V - 1V)/1.5kΩ + 2V/∞ = 667µA (RG = ∞
for unity gain applications). Note that ICC increases by ILIMIT
when the output is limited.
Limit Accuracy
The limited output voltage will not be exactly equal to the
voltage applied to VH or VL. Offset errors, mostly due to VBE
mismatches, necessitate a limit accuracy parameter which is
found in the device specifications. Limit accuracy is a
function of the limiting conditions. Referring again to Figure
3, it can be seen that one component of limit accuracy is the
VBE mismatch between the QX6 transistors, and the QX5
transistors. If the transistors always ran at the same current
level there would be no VBE mismatch, and no contribution
to the inaccuracy. The QX6 transistors are biased at a
constant current, but as described earlier, the current
through QX5 is equivalent to ILIMIT. VBE increases as ILIMIT
increases, causing the limited output voltage to increase as
well. ILIMIT is a function of the overdrive level
((AV x VIN - VLIMIT) / VLIMIT), so limit accuracy degrades as
the overdrive increases. For example, accuracy degrades
from +15mV to +70mV when the overdrive increases from
100% to 200% (AV = +2, VH = 500mV, RF = 250Ω).
Benefits of Output Limiting
The plots of “Pulse Response Without Limiting” and “Pulse
Response With Limiting” (Figures 4 and 5) highlight the
advantages of output limiting. Besides the obvious benefit of
constraining the output swing to a defined range, limiting the
output excursions also keeps the output transistors from
saturating, which prevents unwanted saturation artifacts
from distorting the output signal. Output limiting also takes
advantage of the HFA1135’s ultra-fast overdrive recovery
time, reducing the recovery time from 2.3ns to 0.3ns, based
on the amplifier’s normal propagation delay of 1.2ns.

limiting and the amplifier’s normal propagation delay, and it is
a strong function of the overdrive level. Figure 36 details the
overdrive recovery time for various limit and overdrive levels.
INPUT VOLTAGE (V)
When the output is limited, the negative input continues to
source a slewing current (ILIMIT) in an attempt to force the
output to the quiescent voltage defined by the input. QP5
must sink this current while limiting, because the -IN current
is always mirrored onto the high impedance node. The
limiting current is calculated as:
TIME (5ns/DIV.)
FIGURE 4. PULSE RESPONSE WITHOUT LIMITING
Consideration must also be given to the fact that the limit
voltages have an effect on amplifier linearity. The “Linearity
Near Limit Voltage” curves, Figures 34 and 35, illustrate the
impact of several limit levels on linearity.
AV = +2, RF = 250Ω
Limit Range
2.0
Unlike some competitor devices, both VH and VL have usable
ranges that cross 0V. While VH must be more positive than
VL , both may be positive or negative, within the range
restrictions indicated in the specifications. For example, the
HFA1135 could be limited to ECL output levels by setting
VH = -0.8V and VL = -1.8V. VH and VL may be connected to
the same voltage (GND for instance) but the result won’t be a
DC output voltage from an AC input signal. A 150mV - 200mV
AC signal will still be present at the output.

Recovery from Overdrive
VH = +2.0V, VL = 0V
The output voltage remains at the limit level as long as the
overdrive condition remains. When the input voltage drops
below the overdrive level (VLIMIT/AV) the amplifier returns to
linear operation. A time delay, known as the Overdrive
Recovery Time, is required for this resumption of linear
operation. Overdrive recovery time is defined as the
difference between the amplifier’s propagation delay exiting
