The EL2150C/EL2157C are the electronics industry’s fastest
single supply op amps available. Prior single supply op amps
have generally been limited to bandwidths and slew rates (/4
that of the EL2150C/EL2157C. The 125 MHz bandwidth,
275 V/ms slew rate, and 0.05%/0.05§ differential gain/differential phase makes this part ideal for single or dual supply video
speed applications. With its voltage feedback architecture, this
amplifier can accept reactive feedback networks, allowing them
to be used in analog filtering applications. The inputs can sense
signals below the bottom supply rail and as high as 1.2V below
the top rail. Connecting the load resistor to ground and operating from a single supply, the outputs swing completely to
ground without saturating. The outputs can also drive to within
1.2V of the top rail. The EL2150C/EL2157C will output g 100
mA and will operate with single supply voltages as low as 2.7V,
making it ideal for portable, low power applications.
The EL2157C has a high speed disable feature. Applying a low
logic level to this pin reduces the supply current to 0 mA within
50 ns. This is useful for both multiplexing and reducing power
consumption.
The EL2157C also has an output voltage clamp feature. This
clamp is a fast recovery ( k 7 ns) output clamp that prevents the
output voltage from going above the preset clamp voltage. This
feature is desirable for A/D applications, as A/D converters can
require long times to recover if overdriven.

Applications Information
Product Description
The EL2150C/EL2157C have been designed to
operate with supply voltages having a span of
greater than 2.7V, and less than 12V. In practical
terms, this means that the EL2150C/EL2157C
will operate on dual supplies ranging from
g 1.35V to g 6V. With a single-supply, the
EL2150C/EL2157C will operate from a 2.7V to
a 12V. Performance has been optimized for a single a 5V supply.
The EL2150C/EL2157C are the industry’s fastest
single supply operational amplifiers. Connected
in voltage follower mode, their b 3dB bandwidth
is 125 MHz while maintaining a 275 V/ms slew
rate. With an input and output common mode
range that includes ground, these amplifiers were
optimized for single supply operation, but will
also accept dual supplies. They operate on a total
supply voltage range as low as a 2.7V or up to
a 12V. This makes them ideal for a 3V applications, especially portable computers.
Pins 7 and 4 are the power supply pins. The positive power supply is connected to pin 7. When
used in single supply mode, pin 4 is connected to
ground. When used in dual supply mode, the negative power supply is connected to pin 4.
While many amplifiers claim to operate on a single supply, and some can sense ground at their
inputs, most fail to truly drive their outputs to
ground. If they do succeed in driving to ground,
the amplifier often saturates, causing distortion
and recovery delays. However, special circuitry
built into the EL2150C/EL2157C allows the output to follow the input signal to ground without
recovery delays.
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 EL2150C/EL2157C
have an input voltage range that includes the
negative supply and extends to within 1.2V of the
positive supply. So, for example, on a single a 5V
supply, the EL2150C/EL2157C have an input
range which spans from 0V to 3.8V.
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 4.7 mF tantalum capacitor in
parallel with a 0.1 mF ceramic capacitor has been
shown to work well when placed at each supply
pin. For single supply operation, where pin 4
(VS b ) is connected to the ground plane, a single
4.7 mF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1
mF ceramic capacitor across pins 7 and 4 will suffice.
The output range of the EL2150C/EL2157C is
also quite large. It includes the negative rail, and
extends to within 1V of the top supply rail. On a
a 5V supply, the output is therefore capable of
swinging from 0V to a 4V. On split supplies, the
output will swing g 4V. If the load resistor is tied
to the negative rail and split supplies are used,
the output range is extended to the negative rail.
Choice Of Feedback Resistor, RF
The feedback resistor forms a pole with the input
capacitance. As this pole becomes larger, phase
margin is reduced. This increases ringing in the
time domain and peaking in the frequency domain. Therefore, RF has some maximum value
which should not be exceeded for optimum performance. If a large value of RF must be used, a
small capacitor in the few picofarad range in parallel with RF can help to reduce this ringing and
peaking at the expense of reducing the bandwidth.
For good AC performance, parasitic capacitance
should be kept to a minimum. Ground plane construction should be used. 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.

Applications Information Ð Contd.
As far as the output stage of the amplifier is concerned, RF a RG appear in parallel with RL for
gains other than a 1. As this combination gets
smaller, the bandwidth falls off. Consequently,
RF has a minimum value that should not be exceeded for optimum performance.
Output Drive Capability
For AV e a 1, RF e 0X is optimum. For Av e
b 1 or a 2 (noise gain of 2), optimum response is
obtained with RF between 500X and 1 kX. For
Av e b 4 or a 5 (noise gain of 5), keep RF between 2 kX and 10 kX.
In spite of their moderately low 5 mA of supply
current, the EL2150C/EL2157C are capable of
providing g 100 mA of output current into a 10X
load, or g 60 mA into 50X. With this large output
current capability, a 50X load can be driven to
g 3V with VS e g 5V, making it an excellent
choice for driving isolation transformers in telecommunications applications.
Video Performance
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 de-couple the
EL2150C/EL2157C 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 5X and
50X) 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.
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 can be difficult when
driving a standard video load of 150X, because of
the change in output current with DC level. Differential Gain and Differential Phase for the
EL2150C/EL2157C are specified with the black
level of the output video signal set to a 1.2V.
This allows ample room for the sync pulse even
in a gain of a 2 configuration. This results in dG
and dP specifications of 0.05% and 0.05§ while
driving 150X at a gain of a 2. Setting the black
level to other values, although acceptable, will
compromise peak performance. For example,
looking at the single supply dG and dP curves for
RL e 150 X, if the output black level clamp is reduced from 1.2V to 0.6V dG/dP will increase
from 0.05%/0.05§ to 0.08%/0.25§ Note that in a
gain of a 2 configuration, this is the lowest black
level allowed such that the sync tip doesn’t go
below 0V.

The EL2157C amplifier can be disabled, placing
its output in a high-impedance state. The disable
or enable action takes only about 40 nsec. When
disabled, the amplifier’s supply current is reduced to 0 mA, thereby eliminating all power
consumption by the EL2157C. The EL2157C amplifier’s power down can be controlled by standard CMOS signal levels at the ENABLE pin.
The applied CMOS signal is relative to the GND
pin. For example, if a single a 5V supply is used,
the logic voltage levels will be a 0.5V and a 2.0V.
If using dual g 5V supplies, the logic levels will
be b 4.5V and b 3.0V. Letting the ENABLE pin
float will disable the EL2157C. If the powerdown feature is not desired, connect the ENABLE pin to the VS a pin. The guaranteed logic
levels of a 0.5V and a 2.0V are not standard TTL
levels of a 0.8V and a 2.0V, so care must be taken if standard TTL will be used to drive the ENABLE pin.
If your application requires that the output goes
to ground, then the output stage of the
EL2150C/EL2157C, like all other single supply
op amps, requires an external pull down resistor
tied to ground. As mentioned above, the current
flowing through this resistor becomes the DC
bias current for the output stage NPN transistor.
As this current approaches zero, the NPN turns
off, and dG and dP will increase. This becomes
more critical as the load resistor is increased in
value. While driving a light load, such as 1 kX, if
the input black level is kept above 1.25V, dG and
dP are a respectable 0.03% and 0.03§ .

EL2150C/EL2157C
125 MHz Single Supply, Clamping Op Amps
Figure 3 shows the output of the same circuit
being driven by a 0.5V to 2.75V square wave, as
the clamp voltage is varied from 1.0V to 2.5V, as
well as the unclamped output signal. The rising
edge of the signal is clamped to the voltage applied to the CLAMP pin almost instantaneously.
The output recovers from the clamped mode
within 5 - 7 ns, depending on the clamp voltage.
Even when the CLAMP pin is taken 0.2V below
the minimum 1.2V specified, the output is still
clamped and recovers in about 11 ns.
Applications Information Ð Contd.
Output Voltage Clamp
The EL2157C amplifier has an output voltage
clamp. This clamping action is fast, being activated almost instantaneously, and being deactivated in k 7 ns, and prevents the output voltage
from going above the preset clamp voltage. This
can be very helpful when the EL2157C is used to
drive an A/D converter, as some converters can
require long times to recover if overdriven. The
output voltage remains at the clamp voltage level
as long as the product of the input voltage and
the gain setting exceeds the clamp voltage. If the
EL2157C is connected in a gain of 2, for example,
and a 3V DC is applied to the CLAMP pin, any
voltage higher than a 1.5V at the inputs will be
clamped and a 3V will be seen at the output.
Figure 1 below is a unity gain connected
EL2157C being driven by a 3Vp-p sinewave, with
2.25V applied to the CLAMP pin. The resulting
output waveform, with its output being clamped
to 2.25V, is shown in Figure 2.
2150 – 61
Figure 3
The clamp accuracy is affected by 1) the CLAMP
pin voltage, 2) the input voltage, and 3) the load
resistor. Depending upon the application, the accuracy may be as little as a few tens of millivolts
to a few hundred millivolts. Be sure to allow for
these inaccuracies when choosing the clamp voltage. Curves of Clamp Accuracy vs. VCLAMP, and
VIN for 3 values of RL are included in the Typical Performance Curves Section
2150 – 59
Figure 1
Unlike amplifiers that clamp at the input and are
therefore limited to non-inverting applications
only, the EL2157C output clamp architecture
works for both inverting and non-inverting gain
applications. There is also no maximum voltage
difference limitation between VIN and VCLAMP
which is common on input clamped architectures.
The voltage clamp operates for any voltage between a 1.2V above the GND pin, and the minimum output voltage swing, VOP. Forcing the
CLAMP pin much below a 1.2V can saturate
transistors and should therefore be avoided.

Propagation Delay vs Overdrive
EL2157 as a Comparator
Forcing the CLAMP pin above VOP simply deactivates the CLAMP feature. In other words,
one cannot expect to clamp any voltage higher
than what the EL2157C can drive to in the first
place. If the clamp feature is not desired, either
let the CLAMP pin float or connect it to the VS a
pin.
EL2157C Comparator Application
The EL2157C can be used as a very fast, single
supply comparator by utilizing the clamp feature. Most op amps used as comparators allow
only slow speed operation because of output saturation issues. However, by applying a DC voltage
to the CLAMP pin of the EL2157C, the maximum output voltage can be clamped, thus preventing saturation. Figure 4 below is the
EL2157C implemented as a comparator. 2.5V DC
is applied to the CLAMP pin, as well as the IN b
pin. A differential signal is then applied between
the inputs. Figure 5 shows the output square
wave that results when a g 1V, 10 MHz triangular wave is applied, while Figure 6 is a graph of
propagation delay vs. overdrive as a square wave
is presented at the input.

Video Sync Pulse Remover Application
All CMOS Analog to Digital Converters (A/Ds)
have a parasitic latch-up problem when subjected
to negative input voltage levels. Since the sync
tip contains no useful video information and it is
a negative going pulse, we can chop it off. Figure
7 shows a unity gain connected EL2150C/
EL2157C. Figure 8 shows the complete input video signal applied at the input, as well as the output signal with the negative going sync pulse removed.

Short Circuit Current Limit
Multiplexing with the EL2157C
The EL2150C/EL2157C have internal short circuit protection circuitry that protect it in the
event of its output being shorted to either supply
rail. This limit is set to around 100 mA nominally
and reduces with increasing junction temperature. It is intended to handle temporary shorts. If
an output is shorted indefinitely, the power dissipation could easily increase such that the part
will be destroyed. Maximum reliability is maintained if the output current never exceeds
g 90 mA. A heat sink may be required to keep
the junction temperature below absolute maximum when an output is shorted indefinitely.
The ENABLE pin on the EL2157C allows for
multiplexing applications. Figure 9 shows two
EL2157Cs with their outputs tied together, driving a back terminated 75X video load. A 2 Vp-p
10 MHz sinewave is applied at one input, and a
1 Vp-p 5 MHz sinewave to the other. Figure 10
shows the CLOCK signal which is applied, and
the resulting output waveform at VOUT. Switching is complete in about 50 ns. Notice the outputs
are tied directly together. Decoupling resistors at
each output are not necessary. In fact, adding
them approximately doubles the switching time
to 100 nsec.
Power Dissipation
With the high output drive capability of the
EL2150C/EL2157C, it is possible to exceed the
150§ C Absolute Maximum junction temperature
under certain load current conditions. Therefore,
it is important to calculate the maximum junction temperature for the application to determine
if power-supply voltages, load conditions, or
package type need to be modified for the
EL2150C/EL2157C to remain in the safe operating area.
