LMH6715
Dual Wideband Video Op Amp
General Description
Features
The LMH6715 combines National’s VIP10™ high speed
complementary bipolar process with National’s current feedback topology to produce a very high speed dual op amp.
The LMH6715 provides 400MHz small signal bandwidth at a
gain of +2V/V and 1300V/µs slew rate while consuming only
5.8mA per amplifier from ± 5V supplies.
TA = 25˚C, RL = 100Ω, typical values unless specified.
n Very low diff. gain, phase: 0.02%, 0.02˚
n Wide bandwidth: 480MHz (AV = +1V/V); 400MHz (AV =
+2V/V)
n 0.1dB gain flatness to 100MHz
n Low power: 5.8mA/channel
n −70dB channel-to-channel crosstalk (10MHz)
n Fast slew rate: 1300V/µs
n Unity gain stable
n Improved replacement for CLC412
The LMH6715 offers exceptional video performance with its
0.02% and 0.02˚ differential gain and phase errors for NTSC
and PAL video signals while driving up to four back terminated 75Ω loads. The LMH6715 also offers a flat gain response of 0.1dB to 100MHz and very low channel-tochannel crosstalk of −70dB at 10MHz. Additionally, each
amplifier can deliver 70mA of output current. This level of
performance makes the LMH6715 an ideal dual op amp for
high density, broadcast quality video systems.
The LMH6715’s two very well matched amplifiers support a
number of applications such as differential line drivers and
receivers. In addition, the LMH6715 is well suited for Sallen
Key active filters in applications such as anti-aliasing filters
for high speed A/D converters. Its small 8-pin SOIC package,
low power requirement, low noise and distortion allow the
LMH6715 to serve portable RF applications such as IQ
channels.

FEEDBACK RESISTOR SELECTION
One of the key benefits of a current feedback operational
amplifier is the ability to maintain optimum frequency response independent of gain by using appropriate values for
the feedback resistor (RF). The Electrical Characteristics and
Typical Performance plots specify an RF of 500Ω, a gain of
+2V/V and ± 5V power supplies (unless otherwise specified).
Generally, lowering RF from it’s recommended value will
peak the frequency response and extend the bandwidth
while increasing the value of RF will cause the frequency
response to roll off faster. Reducing the value of RF too far
below it’s recommended value will cause overshoot, ringing
and, eventually, oscillation.
Application Section
Frequency Response vs. RF

FIGURE 1. Non-Inverting Configuration with Power
Supply Bypassing
20042914
The plot labeled “Frequency Response vs. RF” shows the
LMH6715’s frequency response as RF is varied (RL = 100Ω,
AV = +2). This plot shows that an RF of 200Ω results in
peaking and marginal stability. An RF of 300Ω gives near
maximal bandwidth and gain flatness with good stability, but
with very light loads (RL > 300Ω) the device may show some
peaking. An RF of 500Ω gives excellent stability with good
bandwidth and is the recommended value for most applications. Since all applications are slightly different it is worth
some experimentation to find the optimal RF for a given
circuit. For more information see Application Note OA-13
which describes the relationship between RF and closedloop frequency response for current feedback operational
amplifiers.
When configuring the LMH6715 for gains other than +2V/V,
it is usually necessary to adjust the value of the feedback
resistor. The two plots labeled “RF vs. Non-inverting Gain”
and “RF vs. Inverting Gain” provide recommended feedback
resistor values for a number of gain selections.

Application Introduction
Offered in an 8-pin package for reduced space and cost, the
wideband LMH6715 dual current-feedback op amp provides
closely matched DC and AC electrical performance characteristics making the part an ideal choice for wideband signal
processing. Applications such as broadcast quality video
systems, IQ amplifiers, filter blocks, high speed peak detectors, integrators and transimedance amplifiers will all find
superior performance in the LMH6715 dual op amp.

tances (to AC ground) arising from traces or pads placed too
closely ( < 0.1”) to power or ground planes. In some cases,
due to the frequency response peaking caused by these
parasitics, a small adjustment of the feedback resistor value
will serve to compensate the frequency response. Also, it is
very important to keep the parasitic capacitance across the
feedback resistor to an absolute minimum.
(Continued)
RF vs. Non-Inverting Gain
The performance plots in the data sheet can be reproduced
using the evaluation boards available from National. The
CLC730036 board uses all SMT parts for the evaluation of
the LMH6715. The board can serve as an example layout for
the final production printed circuit board.
Care must also be taken with the LMH6715’s layout in order
to achieve the best circuit performance, particularly channelto-channel isolation. The decoupling capacitors (both tantalum and ceramic) must be chosen with good high frequency
characteristics to decouple the power supplies and the
physical placement of the LMH6715’s external components
is critical. Grouping each amplifier’s external components
with their own ground connection and separating them from
the external components of the opposing channel with the
maximum possible distance is recommended. The input
(RIN) and gain setting resistors (RF) are the most critical. It is
also recommended that the ceramic decoupling capacitor
(0.1µF chip or radial-leaded with low ESR) should be placed
as closely to the power pins as possible.
20042921
Both plots show the value of RF approaching a minimum
value (dashed line) at high gains. Reducing the feedback
resistor below this value will result in instability and possibly
oscillation. The recommended value of RF is depicted by the
solid line, which begins to increase at higher gains. The
reason that a higher RF is required at higher gains is the
need to keep RG from decreasing too far below the output
impedance of the input buffer. For the LMH6715 the output
resistance of the input buffer is approximately 160Ω and 50Ω
is a practical lower limit for RG. Due to the limitations on RG
the LMH6715 begins to operate in a gain bandwidth limited
fashion for gains of ± 5V/V or greater.
POWER DISSIPATION
Follow these steps to determine the Maximum power dissipation for the LMH6715:
1. Calculate the quiescent (no-load) power: PAMP = ICC (VCC
- VEE)
2. Calculate the RMS power at the output stage: PO = (VCC
-VLOAD)(ILOAD), where VLOAD and ILOAD are the voltage and
current across the external load.
3. Calculate the total RMS power: Pt = PAMP + PO
RF vs. Inverting Gain
The maximum power that the LMH6715, package can dissipate at a given temperature can be derived with the following
equation:
Pmax = (150o - Tamb)/ θJA, where Tamb = Ambient temperature (˚C) and θJA = Thermal resistance, from junction to
ambient, for a given package (˚C/W). For the SOIC package
θJA is 145˚C/W.
MATCHING PERFORMANCE
With proper board layout, the AC performance match between the two LMH6715’s amplifiers can be tightly controlled
as shown in Typical Performance plot labeled “Small-Signal
Channel Matching”.
The measurements were performed with SMT components
using a feedback resistor of 300Ω at a gain of +2V/V.
The LMH6715’s amplifiers, built on the same die, provide the
advantage of having tightly matched DC characteristics.
20042922
When using the LMH6715 as a replacement for the CLC412,
identical bandwidth can be obtained by using an appropriate
value of RF . The chart “Frequency Response vs. RF” shows
that an RF of approximately 700Ω will provide bandwidth
very close to that of the CLC412. At other gains a similar
increase in RF can be used to match the new and old parts.
SLEW RATE AND SETTLING TIME
One of the advantages of current-feedback topology is an
inherently high slew rate which produces a wider full power
bandwidth. The LMH6715 has a typical slew rate of 1300V/
µs. The required slew rate for a design can be calculated by
the following equation: SR = 2πfVpk.
Careful attention to parasitic capacitances is critical to
achieving the best settling time performance. The LMH6715
CIRCUIT LAYOUT
With all high frequency devices, board layouts with stray
capacitances have a strong influence over AC performance.
The LMH6715 is no exception and its input and output pins
are particularly sensitive to the coupling of parasitic capaci9

has a typical short term settling time to 0.05% of 12ns for a
2V step. Also, the amplifier is virtually free of any long term
thermal tail effects at low gains.
When measuring settling time, a solid ground plane should
be used in order to reduce ground inductance which can
cause common-ground-impedance coupling. Power supply
and ground trace parasitic capacitances and the load capacitance will also affect settling time.
Placing a series resistor (Rs) at the output pin is recommended for optimal settling time performance when driving a
capacitive load. The Typical Performance plot labeled “RS
and Settling Time vs. Capacitive Load” provides a means for
selecting a value of Rs for a given capacitive load.
SINGLE-TO-DIFFERENTIAL LINE DRIVER
The LMH6715’s well matched AC channel-response allows a
single-ended input to be transformed to highly matched
push-pull driver. From a 1V single-ended input the circuit of
Figure 3 produces 1V differential signal between the two
outputs. For larger signals the input voltage divider (R1 =
2R2) is necessary to limit the input voltage on channel 2.
DC & NOISE PERFORMANCE
A current-feedback amplifier’s input stage does not have
equal nor correlated bias currents, therefore they cannot be
canceled and each contributes to the total DC offset voltage
at the output by the following equation:
The input resistance is the resistance looking from the noninverting input back toward the source. For inverting DCoffset calculations, the source resistance seen by the input
resistor Rg must be included in the output offset calculation
as a part of the non-inverting gain equation. Application note
OA-7 gives several circuits for DC offset correction. The
noise currents for the inverting and non-inverting inputs are
graphed in the Typical Performance plot labeled “Equivalent
Input Noise”. A more complete discussion of amplifier inputreferred noise and external resistor noise contribution can be
found in OA-12.

FIGURE 3. Single-to-Differential Line Driver
DIFFERENTIAL LINE RECEIVER
Figure 4 and Figure 5 show two different implementations of
an instrumentation amplifier which convert differential signals to single-ended. Figure 5 allows CMRR adjustment
through R2.
DIFFERENTIAL GAIN & PHASE
The LMH6715 can drive multiple video loads with very low
differential gain and phase errors. The Typical Performance
plots labeled “Differential Gain vs. Frequency” and “Differential Phase vs. Frequency” show performance for loads from
1 to 4. The Electrical Characteristics table also specifies
performance for one 150Ω load at 4.43MHz. For NTSC
video, the performance specifications also apply. Application
note OA-24 “Measuring and Improving Differential Gain &
Differential Phase for Video”, describes in detail the techniques used to measure differential gain and phase.
I/O VOLTAGE & OUTPUT CURRENT
The usable common-mode input voltage range (CMIR) of
the LMH6715 specified in the Electrical Characteristics table
of the data sheet shows a range of ± 2.2 volts. Exceeding
this range will cause the input stage to saturate and clip the
output signal.
The output voltage range is determined by the load resistor
and the choice of power supplies. With ± 5 volts the class A/B
output driver will typically drive ± 3.9V into a load resistance
of 100Ω. Increasing the supply voltages will change the
common-mode input and output voltage swings while at the
same time increase the internal junction temperature.

value of RF while frequency compensation is achieved
through the adjustment of RT.
