Comlinear CLC423
94MHz, Single Supply Voltage Feedback Op Amp
General Description
Features
The Comlinear CLC423 is a wideband voltage-feedback
operational amplifier that is uniquely designed to provide high
performance from a single power supply. The CLC423 provides
near rail-to-rail operation and the common-mode input range
includes the negative rail. The CLC423 offers plenty of headroom for single-supply applications as evidenced by its 4.3Vpp
output voltage from a single 5V supply.
■
Fabricated with a high-speed complementary bipolar process, the
CLC423 delivers a wide 94MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 7.5ns
rise/fall time and 150V/µs slew rate. For single supply applications
such as video distribution or desktop multimedia, the CLC423
offers low 0.35%, 0.55° differential gain and phase errors.

With its traditional voltage-feedback architecture and high-speed
performance, the CLC423 is the perfect choice for composite
signal conditioning circuit functions such as active filters,
integrators, differentiators, simple gain blocks and buffering.

The CLC423 provides high signal fidelity with -74/-94dBc 2nd/3rd
harmonics (1Vpp, 1MHz, RL=150Ω). Combining this high fidelity
performance with CLC423’s quick 46ns settling time to 0.1%
makes it an excellent choice for ADC buffering.

Figure 2: Inverting Configuration
Single Supply Operation (VCC = +5V, VEE = GND)
The CLC423 is designed to operate from 0 and 5V
supplies. The specifications given in the Electrical
Characteristics table 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.
AC Coupled Single Supply Operation
Figures 3 and 4 show possible non-inverting and
inverting configurations for input signals that go below
ground. The input is AC coupled to prevent the need
for level shifting the input signal at the source. The
resistive voltage divider biases the non-inverting input to
VCC ÷ 2 = 2.5V.
Operating from a single +5V supply, the CMIR of the
CLC423 is typically 0V to +3.7V. The typical output range
with RL = 150Ω is +0.35V to +4.5V.
+5V
6.8µF
+
For DC coupled single supply operation, it is recommended that input signal levels remain above ground.
For input signals that drop below ground, AC coupling
and level shifting the signal are possible remedies.
For input signals that remain above ground, no
adjustments need to be made. The non-inverting and
inverting configurations for both input conditions are
illustrated in the following 2 sections.

Load Termination
Since the CLC423 design has been optimized for Single
Supply Operation, it is more capable of sourcing rather
than sinking current. For optimum performance, the load
should be tied to VEE. When the load is tied to VEE, the
output always sources current.
Non-inverting gain applications:
■
■
■
Output Overdrive Recovery
When the output range of an amplifier is exceeded, time
is required for the amplifier to recover from this over
driven condition. Figure 5 illustrates the overload
recovery of the CLC423 when the output is overdriven.
An input was applied in an attempt to drive the output to
twice the supply rails (2 • (VCC -VEE) = 10V), but the
output limits. An inverting gain topolgy was used, see
Figure 2. As indicated, the CLC423 recovers within
25ns on the rising edge and within 10ns on the falling
edge.
Inverting gain applications:
■
■
■
Power Dissipation
Follow these steps to determine the power consumption
of the CLC423:
Output Voltage (2V/div)
Input Voltage (4V/div)
Input
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 RMS voltage and current across
the external load.
Time (50ns/div)
3. Calculate the total RMS power:
Pt = Pamp + Po
Figure 5: Overdrive Recovery
The maximum power that the DIP and SOIC packages
can dissipate at a given temperature is illustrated in
Figure 7. The power derating curve for any package can
be derived by utilizing the following equation:
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 CLC423
will improve stability and settling performance. The
Frequency Response vs. CL plot, in the typical
performance section, gives the recommended series
resistance value for optimum flatness at various
capacitive loads.

where:
Tamb = Ambient temperature (°C)
θja = Thermal resistance, from junction to ambient, for a

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 6 shows typical inverting and non-inverting circuit
configurations for matching transmission lines.

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.

Layout Considerations
A proper printed circuit layout is essential for achieving
high frequency performance. Comlinear provides evaluation boards for the CLC423 (730013 - DIP, 730027SOIC) and suggests their use as a guide for high
frequency layout and as an aid for device testing and
characterization.
The evaluation boards are designed to accommodate
dual supplies. The boards can be modified to provide
single supply operation. For best performance; 1) do
not connect the unused supply, 2) provide a wide
jumper across C2. Use a jumper that is equal in width to
the trace connecting pin 4 to C2. This will minimize any
additional inductance caused by the jumper.
General layout and supply bypassing play major roles in
high frequency performance. Follow the steps below as
a basis for high frequency layout:
SPICE Models
SPICE models provide a means to evaluate amplifier
designs. Free SPICE models are available for
Comlinear’s monolithic amplifiers that:
■
■
■
■
■
■
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.
■

released models, and provides a list of modeled parameters. The application note OA-18, Simulation SPICE
Models for Comlinear’s Op Amps, contains schematics
