CLC5612 Dual, High Output, Programmable Gain Buffer General Description The CLC5612 is a dual, low cost, high speed (90MHz) buffer which features user programmable gains of +2, +1, and −1V/V. The CLC5612 also has a new output stage that delivers high output drive current (130mA), but consumes minimal quiescent supply current (1.5mA/ch) from a single 5V supply. Its current feedback architecture, fabricated in an advanced complementary bipolar process, maintains consistent performance over a wide range of gains and signal levels, and has a linear phase response up to one half of the −3dB frequency. The CLC5612 offers 0.1dB gain flatness to 18MHz and differential gain and phase errors of 0.15% and 0.02˚. These features are ideal for professional and consumer video applications. The CLC5612 offers superior dynamic performance with a 90MHz small signal bandwidth, 290V/µs slew rate and 6.2ns rise/fall times (2Vstep). The combination of low quiescent power, high output current drive, and high speed performance make the CLC5612 well suited for many battery powered personal communication/computing systems. The ability to drive low impedance, highly capacitive loads, makes the CLC5612 ideal for single ended cable applications. It also drives low impedance loads with minimum distortion. The CLC5612 will drive a 100Ω load with only −74/−86dBc second/third harmonic distortion (AV = +2, VOUT = 2VPP, f = 1MHz). With a 25Ω load, and the same conditions, it produces only -70/-67dBc second/third harmonic distortion. It is also optimized for driving high currents into single-ended transformers and coils. When driving the input of high resolution A/D converters, the CLC5612 provides excellent −87/−93dBc second/third harmonic distortion (AV = +2, VOUT, f = 1MHz, RL = 1kΩ) and fast settling time. n n n n n n n n 0.15%, 0.02˚ differential gain, phase 1.5mA/ch supply current 90MHz bandwidth (AV = +2) −87/−93dBc HD2/HD3 (1MHz) 17ns settling to 0.05% 290V/µs slew rate Stable for capacitive loads up to 1000pf Single 5V to ± 5V supplies Applications n n n n n n n Video line driver Coaxial cable driver Twisted pair driver Transformer/coil driver High capacitive load driver Portable/battery powered applications A/D driver Maximum Output Voltage vs. RL DS015001-1 Features n 130mA output current Connection Diagram DS015001-3 Pinout DIP & SOIC © 2001 National Semiconductor Corporation DS015001 www.national.com CLC5612 Dual, High Output, Programmable Gain Buffer January 2001 CLC5612 Typical Application DS015001-2 Differential Line Driver with Load Impedance Conversion Ordering Information Package Temperature Range Industrial 8-pin plastic DIP −40˚C to +85˚C CLC5612IN CLC5612IN N08E 8-pin plastic SOIC −40˚C to +85˚C CLC5612IM CLC5612IM M08A CLC5612IMX CLC5612IM www.national.com Part Number 2 Package Marking NSC Drawing Output Current (see (Note 4)) Common-Mode Input Voltage Maximum Junction Temperature Storage Temperature Range Lead Temperature (soldering 10 sec) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the National Semiconductor Sales Office/Distributors for availability and specifications. ± 7V +14V Supply Voltage (VCC) Supply Voltage (VCC - VEE) 140mA VEE to VCC +150˚C −65˚C to +150˚C +300˚C +5 Electrical Characteristics (AV = +2, RL = 100Ω, VS +5V1, VCM = VEE + (VS/2), RL tied to Vcm, unless specified) Symbol Parameter Ambient Temperature Conditions CLC5612IN/IM Typ Min/Max Ratings (Note 2) Units +25˚C +25˚C 0 to 70˚C −40 to 85˚C VO = 0.5VPP 75 50 50 50 MHz Frequency Domain Response -3dB Bandwidth VO = 2.0VPP 62 57 54 52 MHz −0.1dB Bandwidth VO = 0.5VPP 18 13 11 11 MHz Gain Peaking < 200MHz, VO = 0.5VPP < 30MHz, VO = 0.5VPP < 30MHz, VO = 0.5VPP 0 0.5 0.9 1.2 dB 0.2 0.9 1.0 1.0 dB Gain Rolloff Linear Phase Deviation 0.1 0.4 0.5 0.5 deg Differential Gain NTSC, RL = 150Ω to −1V 0.09 – – – % Differential Phase NTSC, RL = 150Ω to −1V 0.14 – – – deg 2V Step 5.5 9.0 9.7 10.5 ns Settling Time to 0.05% 1V Step 20 28 45 70 ns Overshoot 2V Step 3 6.5 14 14 % Slew Rate 2V Step 185 150 130 120 V/µs dBc Time Domain Response Rise and Fall Time Distortion And Noise Response 2nd Harmonic Distortion 3rd Harmonic Distortion 2VPP,1MHz −74 −70 −67 −67 2VPP,1MHz;

transimpedance gain • Z(jω)/Rf is the loop gain The denominator of Equation 1 is approximately equal to 1 at low frequencies. Near the −3dB corner frequency in the interaction between Rf and Z(jω) dominates the circuit performance. The value of the feedback resistor has a large affect on the circuits performance. Increasing Rf has the following affects: • Decreases loop gain • Decreases bandwidth • Reduces gain peaking • Lowers pulse response overshoot • Affects frequency response phase linearity CLC5612 Design Information Closed Loop Gain Selection The CLC5612 is a current feedback op amp with Rf=Rg=1kΩ on chip (in the package). Select from three closed loop gains without using any external gain or feedback resistors. Implement gains of +2, +1, and −1V/V by connecting pins 2 and 3 (or 5 and 6) as described in the chart below. CLC5612 Operation The CLC5612 is a current feedback buffer fabricated in an advanced complementary bipolar process. The CLC5612 operates from a single 5V supply or dual ± 5V supplies. Operating from a single 5V supply, the CLC5612 has the following features: • Gains of +1, −1, and 2V/V are achievable without external resistors • Provides 100mA of output current while consuming only 7.5mW of power • • Offers low −79/−81dBc 2nd and 3rd harmonic distortion Provides BW > 50MHz and 1MHz distortion < −75dBc at VO = 2VPP The CLC5612 performance is further enhanced in ± 5V supply applications as indicated in the ± 5V Electrical Characteristics table and ± 5V Typical Performance plots. If gains other than +1, −1, or +2V/V are required, then the CLC5602 can be used. The CLC5602 is a current feedback amplifier with near identical performance and allows for external feedback and gain setting resistors. Current Feedback Amplifiers Some of the key features of current feedback technology are: • Independence of AC bandwidth and voltage gain • Inherently stable at unity gain • Adjustable frequency response with feedback resistor • High slew rate • Fast settling Current feedback operation can be described using a simple equation. The voltage gain for a non-inverting or inverting current feedback amplifier is approximated by Equation 1. Vo = Vin Input Connections Non-Inverting (pins 3,5) Inverting (pins 2,6) −1V/V ground input signal +1V/V input signal NC (open) +2V/V input signal ground The gain accuracy of the CLC5612 is excellent and stable over temperature change. The internal gain setting resistors, Rf and Rg are diffused silicon resistors with a process variation of ± 20% and a temperature coefficient of −2000ppm/˚C. Although their absolute values change with processing and temperature, their ratio (Rf/Rg) remains constant. If an external resistor is used in series with Rg, gain accuracy over temperature will suffer. Single Supply Operation (Vcc = +5V/V, VEE =GND) Av Rf 1+ Z(jω ) The specifications given in the ± 5V Electrical Characteristics table for single supply operation are measured with a common mode voltage (Vcm) of 2.5V. Vcm is the voltage around which the inputs are applied and the output voltages are specified.

The typical output range with RL=100Ω is +1.0V to +4.0V. VCC For single supply DC coupled operation, keep input signal levels above 0.8V DC. For input signals that drop below 0.8V DC, AC coupling and level shifting the signal are recommended.

DS015001-49 Load Termination The CLC5612 can source and sink near equal amounts of current. For optimum performance, the load should be tied to Vcm. Driving Cables and Capacitive Loads When driving cables, double termination is used to prevent reflections. For capacitive load applications, a small series resistor at the output of the CLC5612 will improve stability and settling performance. The Frequency Response vs. CL plot, shown below in Figure 10, gives the recommended series resistance value for optimum flatness at various capacitive loads. FIGURE 11. Transmission Line Matching Power Dissipation Follow these steps to determine the power consumption of the CLC5612: 1. Calculate the quiescent (no-load) power: Pamp = ICC (VCC−VEE) 2. Calculate the RMS power at the output stage: P0 = (V CC-Vload)(Iload), where Vload and Iload are the RMS voltage and current across the external load. 3. Calculate the total RMS power: Pt = Pamp +Po The maximum power that the DIP and SOIC, packages can dissipate at a given temperature is illustrated in Figure 12. The power derating curve for any CLC5612 package can be derived by utilizing the following equation: Vo = 1Vpp Magnitude (1dB/div) Vo C6 1kΩ + CL = 10pF Rs = 49.9Ω CL = 100pF Rs = 17.4Ω where Tamb = Ambient temperature (˚C) CL = 1000pF Rs = 6.7Ω + θJA =Thermal resistance, from junction to ambient, for a given package (˚C/W) Rs - 1k CL 1k 1k 1M 10M 100M Frequency (Hz) DS015001-48 FIGURE 10. Frequency Response vs. CL Transmission Line Matching One method for matching the characteristic impedance (Zo) of a transmission line or cable is to place the appropriate resistor at the input or output of the amplifier. Figure 11 shows typical inverting and non-inverting circuit configurations for matching transmission lines. Non-inverting gain applications: • Z0 - Vin + 2 Use R3 to isolate the amplifier from reactive loading caused by the transmission line, or by parasitics • Connect R3 directly to ground. • Make the resistors R4, R6, and R7 equal to Z0. • Make R5\Rg=Z0. The input and output matching resistors attenuate the signal by a factor of 2, therefore additional gain is needed. Use C6 to match the output transmission line over a greater frequency range. C6 compensates for the increase of the amplifier’s output impedance with frequency. + Vo Make R1, R2,R6 and R7 equal to Z0.

National provides evaluation boards for the CLC5612 (CLC730038-DIP, CLC730036-SOIC) and suggests their use as a guide for high frequency layout and as an aid for device testing and characterization. General layout and supply bypassing play major roles in high frequency performance. Follow the steps below as a basis for high frequency layout: • Include 6.8µF tantalum and 0.1µF ceramic capacitors on both supplies. • Place the 6.8µF capacitors within 0.75 inches of the power pins. • Place the 0.1µF capacitors less than 0.1 inches from the power pins. • Remove the ground plane under and around the part, especially near the input and output pins to reduce parasitic capacitance. • • Minimize all trace lengths to reduce series inductances. Use flush-mount printed circuit board pins for prototyping, never use high profile DIP sockets. Evaluation Board Information A data sheet is available for the CLC730038/CLC730036 evaluation boards. The evaluation board data sheets provide: DS015001-61 730036 Top +Vcc • Evaluation board schematics • Evaluation board layouts • General information about the boards The evaluation boards are designed to accommodate dual supplies. The boards can be modified to provide dual supplies. The boards can be modified to provide single supply operation. For best performance; 1) do not connect the unused supply, 2) ground the unused supply pin. Special Evaluation Board Considerations for the CLC5612 To optimize off-isolation of the CLC5612, cut the Rf trace on both the CLC730038 and the CLC730036 evaluation boards. This cut minimizes capacitive feedthrough between the input and the ouptut. Figure 13 shows where to cut both evaluation boards for improved off-isolation. + C3 ROUT2 + C4 -Vcc OUT1 OUT2 GND RG2 IN2 RF2 C1 C2 ROUT1 RF1 (970) 226-0500 RIN2 RG1 RIN1 IN1 Cut traces here DS015001-52 FIGURE 13.
