EL2074C
EL2074C
The EL2074C is gain-of-2 stable with a -3dB bandwidth of 400MHz
at AV = +2. It has a very low 200µV of input offset voltage, only 2µA
of input bias current, and a fully symmetrical differential input. Like
all voltage-feedback operational amplifiers, the EL2074C allows the
use of reactive or non-linear components in the feedback loop. This
combination of speed and versatility makes the EL2074C the ideal
choice for all op-amp applications at a noise gain of 2 or greater
requiring high speed and precision, including active filters, integrators, sample-and-holds, and log amps. The low distortion, high output
current, and fast settling makes the EL2074C an ideal amplifier for
signal-processing and digitizing systems.

Applications Information
Product Description
the gain resistor. The problem stems from the feedback
and gain resistance in conjunction with the approximately 3pF of board-related parasitic capacitance from
the inverting input to ground. Assuming a gain-of-2 configuration with RF = RG = 250Ω, a feedback pole occurs
at 424MHz, which is equivalent to a zero in the forward
path at the same frequency. This zero reduces stability
by reducing the effective phase-margin from about 50°
to about 30°.
The EL2074C is a wideband monolithic operational
amplifier built on a high-speed complementary bipolar
process. The EL2074C uses a classical voltage-feedback
topology which allows it to be used in a variety of applications requiring a noise gain ≥2 where current-feedback
amplifiers are not appropriate because of restrictions
placed upon the feedback element used with the amplifier. The conventional topology of the EL2074C allows,
for example, a capacitor to be placed in the feedback
path, making it an excellent choice for applications such
as active filters, sample-and-holds, or integrators. Similarly, because of the ability to use diodes in the feedback
network, the EL2074C is an excellent choice for applications such as log amplifiers.
A common solution to this problem is to add an additional capacitor from the inverting input to the output.
This capacitor, in conjunction with the parasitic capacitance, maintains a constant voltage-divider between the
output and the inverting input. This technique is used for
AC testing of the EL2074. A 3pF capacitor is placed in
parallel with the feedback resistor for all AC tests. When
this capacitor is used, it is also possible to increase the
resistance values of the feedback and gain resistors without loss of stability, resulting in less loading of the
EL2074C from the feedback network.
The EL2074C also has excellent DC specifications:
200µV, VOS, 2µA IB, 0.1µA IOS, and 90dB of CMRR.
These specifications allow the EL2074C to be used in
DC-sensitive applications such as difference amplifiers.
Furthermore, the current noise of the EL2074C is only
3.2pA/√Hz, making it an excellent choice for high-sensitivity transimpedance amplifier configurations.
Video Performance
An industry-standard method of measuring the video
distortion of a component such as the EL2074C is to
measure the amount of differential gain (dG) and differential phase (dP) that it introduces. To make these
measurements, a 0.286VPP (40 IRE) signal is applied to
the device with 0V DC offset (0 IRE) at either 3.58MHz
for NTSC, 4.43MHz for PAL, or 30MHz for HDTV. A
second measurement is then made at 0.714V DC offset
(100 IRE). Differential gain is a measure of the change
in amplitude of the sine wave, and is measured in percent. Differential phase is a measure of the change in
phase, and is measured in degrees.
Gain-Bandwidth Product
The EL2074C has a gain-bandwidth product of
400MHz. For gains greater than 8, its closed-loop -3dB
bandwidth is approximately equal to the gain-bandwidth
product divided by the noise gain of the circuit. For
gains less than 8, higher-order poles in the amplifier's
transfer function contribute to even higher closed loop
bandwidths. For example, the EL2074C has a -3dB
bandwidth of 400MHz at a gain of +2, dropping to
200MHz at a gain of +4. It is important to note that the
EL2074C has been designed so that this “extra” bandwidth in low-gain applications does not come at the
expense of stability. As seen in the typical performance
curves, the EL2074C in a gain of +2 only exhibits 1dB
of peaking with a 100Ω load.
For signal transmission and distribution, a back-terminated cable (75Ω in series at the drive end, and 75Ω to
ground at the receiving end) is preferred since the
impedance match at both ends will absorb any reflections. However, when double termination is used, the
received signal is halved; therefore a gain of 2 configuration is typically used to compensate for the
attenuation.
Parasitic Capacitances and Stability
When used in positive-gain configurations, the
EL2074C can be quite sensitive to parasitic capacitances
at the inverting input, especially with values ≥250Ω for
8
The EL2074C has been designed to be among the best
video amplifiers in the marketplace today. It has been
thoroughly characterized for video performance in the
topology described above, and the results have been
included as minimum dG and dP specifications and as
typical performance curves. In a gain of +2, driving
150Ω, with standard video test levels at the input, the
EL2074C exhibits dG and dP of only 0.01% and 0.015°
at NTSC and PAL. Because dG and dP vary with different DC offsets, the superior video performance of the
EL2074C has been characterized over the entire DC offset range from -0.714V to +0.714V. For more
information, refer to the curves of dG and dP vs DC
Input Offset.
in peaking, overshoot, and possible oscillation. For optimum AC performance, capacitive loads should be
reduced as much as possible or isolated via a series output resistor. Coax lines can be driven, as long as they are
terminated with their characteristic impedance. When
properly terminated, the capacitance of coaxial cable
will not add to the capacitive load seen by the amplifier.
Capacitive loads greater than 10pF should be buffered
with a series resistor (Rs) to isolate the load capacitance
from the amplifier output. A curve of recommended Rs
vs Cload has been included for reference. Values of Rs
were chosen to maximize resulting bandwidth without
peaking.
Printed-Circuit Layout
The excellent output drive capability of the EL2074C
allows it to drive up to 4 back-terminated loads with
excellent video performance. With 4 150Ω loads, dG
and dP are only 0.15% and 0.08° at NTSC and PAL. For
more information, refer to the curves for Video Performance vs Number of 150Ω Loads.
As with any high-frequency device, good PCB layout is
necessary for optimum performance. Ground-plane construction is highly recommended, as is good power
supply bypassing. A 1 µF–10 µF tantalum capacitor is
recommended in parallel with a 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor. All lead lengths should be as short as possible, and
all bypass capacitors should be as close to the device
pins as possible. Parasitic capacitances should be kept to
an absolute minimum at both inputs and at the output.
Resistor values should be kept under 1000Ω to 2000Ω
because of the RC time constants associated with the
parasitic capacitance. Metal-film and carbon resistors
are both acceptable, use of wire-wound resistors is not
recommended because of parasitic inductance. Similarly, capacitors should be low-inductance for best
performance. If possible, solder the EL2074C directly to
the PC board without a socket. Even high quality sockets
add parasitic capacitance and inductance which can
potentially degrade performance. Because of the degradation of AC performance due to parasitics, the use of
surface-mount components (resistors, capacitors, etc.) is
also recommended.
Output Drive Capability
The EL2074C has been optimized to drive 50Ω and 75Ω
loads. It can easily drive 6VPP into a 50Ω load. This high
output drive capability makes the EL2074C an ideal
choice for RF, IF and video applications. Furthermore,
the current drive of the EL2074C remains a minimum of
50mA at low temperatures. The EL2074C is currentlimited at the output, allowing it to withstand momentary shorts to ground. However, power dissipation with
the output shorted can be in excess of the power-dissipation capabilities of the package.
Capacitive Loads
Although the EL2074C has been optimized to drive
resistive loads as low as 50Ω, capacitive loads will
decrease the amplifier's phase margin which may result
