Data Sheet A m p l i fy t h e H u m a n E x p e r i e n c e 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.

They show the recommended bypass capacitor values and overall closed loop gain equations. Input Referred Noise (nV/rtHz) Basic Operation 4kT R Op amp noise is modeled with three noise sources, en, in and ii. 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. A typical non-inverting application (see figure 1) results in the following noise at the output of the op amp: www.cadeka.com 13 Data Sheet e2o = en2 1+ Rf Rg 2 + in2Rs 2 1+ Rf Rg 2 + ii2R2f The effective load resistor (Rloadeff) will need to include the effect of the feedback network. For instance, op amp noise terms en , in and ii Rloadeff in figure 3 would be calculated as: op amp noise terms en, in and ii RL || (Rf + Rg) Rf 2 e2Rg Rf 2 e2Rf High source impedances are sometimes unavoidable, but they increase noise from the source impedance and also make the circuit more sensitive to the op amp current noise. Analyze all noise sources in the circuit, not just the op amp itself, to achieve low noise in your application. Power Dissipation Maximum power levels are set by the absolute maximum junction rating of 150°C. To calculate the junction temperature, the package thermal resistance value ThetaJA (ӨJA) is used along with the total die power dissipation. TJunction = TAmbient + (ӨJA × PD) Quiescent power can be derived from the specified IS values along with known supply voltage, VSupply. Load power can be calculated as above with the desired signal amplitudes using: (VLOAD)RMS = VPEAK / √2 ( ILOAD)RMS = ( VLOAD)RMS / Rloadeff The dynamic power is focused primarily within the output stage driving the load. This value can be calculated as: PDYNAMIC = (VS+ - VLOAD)RMS × ( ILOAD)RMS Assuming the load is referenced in the middle of the power rails or Vsupply/2. Figure 4 shows the maximum safe power dissipation in the package vs. the ambient temperature for the packages available. 2.5 In order to determine PD, the power dissipated in the load needs to be subtracted from the total power delivered by the supplies. PD = Psupply - Pload Supply power is calculated by the standard power equation. Psupply = Vsupply × IRMS supply Vsupply = VS+ - VSPower delivered to a purely resistive load is: Pload = ((VLOAD)RMS2)/Rloadeff ©2007-2008 CADEKA Microcircuits LLC Maximum Power Dissipation (W) Where TAmbient is the temperature of the working environment. 2 SOIC-8 1.5 SOT23-6 1 0.5 0 -40 -20 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 Ambient Temperature (°C) Figure 4. Maximum Power Derating www.cadeka.com 14 Rev 1D Power dissipation should not be a factor when operating under the stated 500Ω load condition. However, applications with low impedance, DC coupled loads should be analyzed to ensure that maximum allowed junction temperature is not exceeded. Guidelines listed below can be used to verify that the particular application will not cause the device to operate beyond it’s intended operating range.

Overdrive Recovery Figure 5. Addition of RS for Driving Capacitive Loads Table 1 provides the recommended RS for various capacitive loads. The recommended RS values result in <=1dB peaking in the frequency response. The Frequency Response vs. CL plots, on page 7, illustrates the response of the CLC1001. Layout Considerations General layout and supply bypassing play major roles in high frequency performance. CADEKA has evaluation boards to use as a guide for high frequency layout and as aid in device testing and characterization. Follow the steps below as a basis for high frequency layout: RS (Ω) -3dB BW (MHz) 10 43 266 22 33 228 47 20 192 • Place the 0.1µF capacitor within 0.1 inches of the power pin 100 13 155 470 4.3 84 • Remove the ground plane under and around the part, especially near the input and output pins to reduce parasitic capacitance Table 1: Recommended RS vs. CL For a given load capacitance, adjust RS to optimize the tradeoff between settling time and bandwidth. 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. ©2007-2008 CADEKA Microcircuits LLC • 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 • 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 Products CLC1001 in SOT23-5 CLC1001 in SOIC-8 www.cadeka.com 15 Rev 1D CL (pF) 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 dual- supply 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 1D Figure 7. CEB002/CEB003 Schematic Figure 8.
