EL2176, EL2276 ® Data Sheet December 1995, Rev. B 70MHz/1mA Current Mode Feedback Amp w/Disable The EL2176/EL2276 are single/dual current-feedback operational amplifiers which achieve a -3dB bandwidth of 70MHz at a gain of +1 while consuming only 1mA of supply current per amplifier. They will operate with dual supplies ranging from ±1.5V to ±6V, or from single supplies ranging from +3V to +12V. The EL2176/EL2276 also include a disable/power-down feature which reduces current consumption to 0mA while placing the amplifier output in a high impedance state. In spite of its low supply current, the EL2276 can output 55mA while swinging to ±4V on ±5V supplies. The EL2176 can output 100mA with similar output swings. These attributes make the EL2176/EL2276 excellent choices for low power and/or low voltage cabledriver, HDSL, or RGB applications. For Single, Dual and Quad applications without disable, consider the EL2170 (8-Pin Single), EL2270 (8-Pin Dual) or EL2470 (14-Pin Quad). For higher bandwidth applications where low power is still a concern, consider the EL2180/EL2186 family which also comes in similar Single, Dual and Quad configurations. The EL2180/EL2186 family provides a -3dB bandwidth of 250MHz while consuming 3mA of supply current per amplifier.

Both products also feature high output current drive. The EL2176 can output 100mA, while the EL2276 can output 55mA per amplifier. The EL2176/EL2276 work with supply voltages ranging from a single 3V to ±6V, and they are also capable of swinging to with in 1V of either supply on the input and the output. Because of their current-feedback topology, the EL2176/EL2276 do not have the normal gainbandwidth product associated with voltage-feedback operational amplifiers. This allows their -3dB bandwidth to remain relatively constant as closed-loop gain is increased. This combination of high bandwidth and low power, together with aggressive pricing make the EL2176/EL2276 the ideal choice for many low-power/high-bandwidth applications such as portable computing, HDSL, and video processing. For Single, Dual and Quad applications without disable, consider the EL2170 (8-Pin Single), EL2270 (8-Pin Dual) and EL2470 (14-Pin Quad). If more AC performance is required, refer to the EL2180/EL2186 family which provides Singles, Duals, and Quads with 250MHz of bandwidth while consuming 3mA of supply current per amplifier. Power Supply Bypassing and Printed Circuit Board Layout As with any high-frequency device, good printed circuit board layout is necessary for optimum performance. Ground plane construction is highly recommended. Lead lengths should be as short as possible. The power supply pins must be well bypassed to reduce the risk of oscillation. The combination of a 4.7µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF capacitor has been shown to work well when placed at each supply pin. For good AC performance, parasitic capacitance should be kept to a minimum especially at the inverting input (see the Capacitance at the Inverting Input section). Ground plane construction should be used, but it should be removed from the area near the inverting input to minimize any stray capacitance at that node. Carbon or Metal-Film resistors are acceptable with the Metal-Film resistors giving slightly less peaking and bandwidth because of their additional series inductance. Use of sockets, particularly for the SO package should be avoided if possible. Sockets add parasitic inductance and capacitance which will result in some additional peaking and overshoot. 9 Disable/Power-Down The EL2176/EL2276 amplifiers can be disabled, placing their output in a high-impedance state. When disabled, each amplifier's supply current is reduced to 0mA. Each EL2176/EL2276 amplifier is disabled when its ENABLE pin is floating or pulled up to within 0.5V of the positive supply. Similarly, each amplifier is enabled by pulling its ENABLE pin at least 3V below the positive supply. For ±5V supplies, this means that an EL2176/EL2276 amplifier will be enabled when ENABLE is at 2V or less, and disabled when ENABLE is above 4.5V. Although the logic levels are not standard TTL, this choice of logic voltages allows the EL2176/EL2276 to be enabled by tying ENABLE to ground, even in +3V single-supply applications. The ENABLE pin can be driven from CMOS outputs or open-collector TTL. When enabled, supply current does vary somewhat with the voltage applied at ENABLE. For example, with the supply voltages of the EL2176 at ±5V, if ENABLE is tied to -5V (rather than ground) the supply current will increase about 15% to 1.15mA. Capacitance at the Inverting Input Any manufacturer's high-speed voltage- or current-feedback amplifier can be affected by stray capacitance at the inverting input. For inverting gains this parasitic capacitance has little effect because the inverting input is a virtual ground, but for non-inverting gains this capacitance (in conjunction with the feedback and gain resistors) creates a pole in the feedback path of the amplifier. This pole, if low enough in frequency, has the same destabilizing effect as a zero in the forward open-loop response. The use of large value feedback and gain resistors further exacerbates the problem by further lowering the pole frequency. The EL2176/EL2276 have been specially designed to reduce power dissipation in the feedback network by using large 1.0kΩ feedback and gain resistors. With the high bandwidths of these amplifiers, these large resistor values would normally cause stability problems when combined with parasitic capacitance, but by internally canceling the effects of a nominal amount of parasitic capacitance, the EL2176/EL2276 remain very stable. For less experienced users, this feature makes the EL2176/EL2276 much more forgiving, and therefore easier to use than other products not incorporating this proprietary circuitry. The experienced user with a large amount of PC board layout experience may find in rare cases that the EL2176/EL2276 have less bandwidth than expected. In this case, the inverting input may have less parasitic capacitance than expected by the internal compensation circuitry of the EL2176/EL2276. The reduction of feedback resistor values (or the addition of a very small amount of external capacitance at the inverting input, e.g., 0.5pF) will increase bandwidth as desired. Please see the curves for Frequency EL2176, EL2276 Response for Various RF and RG, and Frequency Response for Various CIN-. Feedback Resistor Values The EL2176/EL2276 have been designed and specified at gains of +1 and +2 with RF = 1.0kΩ. This value of feedback resistor gives 70MHz of -3dB bandwidth at AV = +1 with about 1.5dB of peaking, and 60MHz of -3dB bandwidth at AV = +2 with about 0.5dB of peaking. Since the EL2176/EL2276 are current-feedback amplifiers, it is also possible to change the value of RF to get more bandwidth. As seen in the curve of Frequency Response For Various RF and RG, bandwidth and peaking can be easily modified by varying the value of the feedback resistor. Because the EL2176 is a current-feedback amplifier, the gain-bandwidth product is not a constant for different closedloop gains. This feature actually allows the EL2176/EL2276 to maintain about the same -3dB bandwidth, regardless of closed-loop gain. However, as closed-loop gain is increased, bandwidth decreases slightly while stability increases. Since the loop stability is improving with higher closed-loop gains, it becomes possible to reduce the value of RF below the specified 1.0kΩ and still retain stability, resulting in only a slight loss of bandwidth with increased closed-loop gain. Supply Voltage Range and Single-Supply Operation The EL2176/EL2276 have been designed to operate with supply voltages having a span of greater than 3V, and less than 12V. In practical terms, this means that the EL2176/EL2276 will operate on dual supplies ranging from ±1.5V to ±6V. With a single-supply, the EL2176 will operate from +3V to +12V. As supply voltages continue to decrease, it becomes necessary to provide input and output voltage ranges that can get as close as possible to the supply voltages. The EL2176/EL2276 have an input voltage range that extends to within 1V of either supply. So, for example, on a single +5V supply, the EL2176/EL2276 have an input range which spans from 1V to 4V. The output range of the EL2176/EL2276 is also quite large, extending to within 1V of the supply rail. On a ±5V supply, the output is therefore capable of swinging from -4V to +4V. Single-supply output range is even larger because of the increased negative swing due to the external pull-down resistor to ground. On a single +5V supply, output voltage range is about 0.3V to 4V. Video Performance For good video performance, an amplifier is required to maintain the same output impedance and the same frequency response as DC levels are changed at the output. This is especially difficult when driving a standard video load of 150Ω, because of the change in output current with DC level. Until the EL2176/EL2276, good Differential Gain could only be achieved by running high idle currents through the 10 output transistors (to reduce variations in output impedance). These currents were typically in excess of the entire 1mA supply current of each EL2176/EL2276 amplifier! Special circuitry has been incorporated in the EL2176/EL2276 to reduce the variation of output impedance with current output. This results in dG and dP specifications of 0.15% and 0.15° while driving 150Ω at a gain of +2. Video Performance has also been measured with a 500Ω load at a gain of +1. Under these conditions, the EL2176/EL2276 have dG and dP specifications of 0.01% and 0.02° respectively while driving 500Ω at AV = +1. Output Drive Capability In spite of its low 1mA of supply current, the EL2176 is capable of providing a minimum of ±80mA of output current. Similarly, each amplifier of the EL2276 is capable of providing a minimum of ±50mA. These output drive levels are unprecedented in amplifiers running at these supply currents. With a minimum ±80mA of output drive, the EL2176 is capable of driving 50Ω loads to ±4V, making it an excellent choice for driving isolation transformers in telecommunications applications. Similarly, the ±50mA minimum output drive of each EL2276 amplifier allows swings of ±2.5V into 50Ω loads. Driving Cables and Capacitive Loads When used as a cable driver, double termination is always recommended for reflection-free performance. For those applications, the back-termination series resistor will decouple the EL2176/EL2276 from the cable and allow extensive capacitive drive. However, other applications may have high capacitive loads without a back-termination resistor. In these applications, a small series resistor (usually between 5Ω and 50Ω) can be placed in series with the output to eliminate most peaking. The gain resistor (RG) can then be chosen to make up for any gain loss which may be created by this additional resistor at the output. In many cases it is also possible to simply increase the value of the feedback resistor (RF) to reduce the peaking. Current Limiting The EL2176/EL2276 have no internal current-limiting circuitry. If any output is shorted, it is possible to exceed the Absolute Maximum Ratings for output current or power dissipation, potentially resulting in the destruction of the device. Power Dissipation With the high output drive capability of the EL2176/EL2276, it is possible to exceed the 150°C Absolute Maximum junction temperature under certain very high load current conditions. Generally speaking, when RL falls below about 25Ω, it is important to calculate the maximum junction temperatu re (TJmax) for the application to determine if power-supply voltages, load conditions, or package type need to be modified for the EL2176/EL2276 to remain in the EL2176, EL2276 safe operating area. These parameters are calculated as follows: TJMAX = TMAX + (θJA * n * PDMAX) [1] where: PDMAX for each amplifier can be calculated as follows: PDMAX = (2 * VS * ISMAX) + (VS - VOUTMAX) * (VOUTMAX/RL)) [2] where: TMAX=Maximum Ambient Temperature VS=Supply Voltage θJA =Thermal Resistance of the Package ISMAX=Maximum Supply Current of 1 Amplifier n=Number of Amplifiers in the Package VOUTMAX=Max.
