It is built using Elantec’s proprietary complimentary bipolar process and is offered in both a 16 pin PDIP and SOIC packages. Due to the current feedback architecture, the EL2360C closed b loop b 3 dB bandwidth is dependent on the value of the feedback resistor. First the desired bandwidth is selected by choosing the feedback resistor, RF, and then the gain is set by picking a gain resistor, RG. The curves at the beginning of the Typical Performance Curves section show the effect of varying both RF and RG. The b 3 dB bandwidth is somewhat dependent on the power supply voltage. As the supply voltage is decreased, internal junction capacitances increase, causing a reduction in the closed loop bandwidth. To compensate for this, smaller values of feedback resistor can be used at lower supply voltages. Any manufacturer’s high-speed voltage- or current-feedback amplifier can be affected by stray capacitance at the inverting input. The characteristic curve of gain vs. frequency with variations in CIN b emphasizes this effect. The curve illustrates how the bandwidth can be extended to beyond 200 MHz with some additional peaking with an additional 2pF of capacitance at the VIN b pin. 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. Feedback Resistor Values The EL2360C has been designed and specified at a gain of a 2 with RF e 560X. This value of feedback resistor yields relatively flat frequency response with little to no peaking out to 130 MHz. Since the EL2360C is a current-feedback amplifier, 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. For example, by reducing RF to 430X, bandwidth can be extended to 170 MHz with under 1 dB of peaking. Further reduction of RF to 360X increases the bandwidth to 195 MHz with about 2.5 dB of peaking. 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, preferably below (/4’’. The power supply pins must be well bypassed to reduce the risk of oscillation. The combination of a 1.0 mF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.01 mF ceramic 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). This implies keeping the ground plane away from this pin. Carbon or Metal-Film resistors are acceptable with the MetalFilm 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. Bandwidth vs Temperature Whereas many amplifier’s supply current and consequently b 3 dB bandwidth drop off at high temperature, the EL2360C was designed to have little supply current variation with temperature. An immediate benefit from this is that the b 3 dB bandwidth does not drop off drastically with temperature. With VS e g 15V and AV e a 2, the bandwidth varies only from 150 MHz to 110 MHz over the entire die junction temperature range of b 50§ C k T k 150§ C. 11 EL2360C Triple 130 MHz Current Feedback Amplifier Applications Information Ð Contd. caused by a power dissipation differential (before and after the voltage step). For AV e b 1, due to the inverting mode configuration, this tail does not appear since the input stage does not experience the large voltage change as in the non-inverting mode. With AV e b 1, 0.01% settling time is slightly greater than 100 ns. Supply Voltage Range and Single Supply Operation The EL2360C has been designed to operate with supply voltages from g 2V to g 15V. Optimum bandwidth, slew rate, and video characteristics are obtained at higher supply voltages. However, at g 2V supplies, the b 3 dB bandwidth at AV e a 2 is a respectable 70 MHz. The following figure is an oscilloscope plot of the EL2360C at g 2V supplies, AV e a 2, RF e RG e 560X, driving a load of 150X, showing a clean g 600 mV signal at the output. Power Dissipation The EL2360C amplifier combines both high speed and large output current capability at a moderate supply current in very small packages. It is possible to exceed the maximum junction temperature allowed under certain supply voltage, temperature, and loading conditions. To ensure that the EL2360C remains within it’s absolute maximum ratings, the following discussion will help to avoid exceeding the maximum junction temperature. The maximum power dissipation allowed in a package is determined according to [1] : PDMAX e 2360 – 11 TJMAX b TAMAX [1] iJA where: If a single supply is desired, values from a 4V to a 30V can be used as long as the input common mode range is not exceeded. When using a single supply, be sure to either 1) DC bias the inputs at an appropriate common mode voltage and AC couple the signal, or 2) ensure the driving signal is within the common mode range of the EL2360C, which is typically 1.5V from each supply rail. TJMAX e Maximum Junction Temperature TAMAX e Maximum Ambient Temperature iJA e Thermal Resistance of the Package PDMAX e Maximum Power Dissipation in the Package. The maximum power dissipation actually produced by an IC is the total quiescent supply current times the total power supply voltage, plus the power in the IC due to the load, or [2] Settling Characteristics PDMAX e N*(VS * ISMAX a (VS bVOUT) * The EL2360C offers superb settling characteristics to 0.1%, typically in the 35 ns to 40 ns range. There are no aberrations created from the input stage which often cause longer settling times in other current feedback amplifiers. The EL2360C is not slew rate limited, therefore any size step up to g 10V gives approximately the same settling time.

This is a thermal settling error 12 EL2360C Triple 130 MHz Current Feedback Amplifier Applications Information Ð Contd. If we set the two PDMAX equations, [1] and [2] , equal to each other, and solve for VS, we can get a family of curves for various loads and output voltages according to [3] : RL*(TJMAX b TAMAX) VS e N*iJA Current Limit The EL2360C has internal current limits that protect the circuit in the event of an output being shorted to ground. This limit is set at 100 mA nominally and reduces with the junction temperature. At TJ e 150§ C, the current limits at about 65 mA. If any one output is shorted to ground, the power dissipation could be well over 1W, and much greater if all outputs are shorted. Heat removal is required in order for the EL2360C to survive an indefinite short. a (VOUT)2 (IS*RL) a VOUT [3] The figures below show total supply voltage VS vs RL for various output voltage swings for the PDIP and SOIC packages. The curves assume WORST CASE conditions of TA e a 85§ C and IS e 11.3 mA per amplifier. The curves do not include heat removal or forcing air, or the simple fact that the package will be attached to a circuit board, which can also provide some form of heat removal. Larger temperature and voltage ranges are possible with heat removal and forcing air past the part. 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 EL2360C 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. In many cases it is also possible to simply increase the value of the feedback resistor (RF) to reduce the peaking.
