ETC LMH6644MAX

LMH6642/6643/6644
3V, Low Power, 130MHz, 75mA Rail-to-Rail Output
Amplifiers
General Description
The LMH664X family true single supply voltage feedback
amplifiers offer high speed (130MHz), low distortion
(−62dBc), and exceptionally high output current (approximately 75mA) at low cost and with reduced power consumption when compared against existing devices with similar
performance.
Input common mode voltage range extends to 0.5V below V−
and 1V from V+. Output voltage range extends to within
40mV of either supply rail, allowing wide dynamic range
especially desirable in low voltage applications. The output
stage is capable of approximately 75mA in order to drive
heavy loads. Fast output Slew Rate (130V/µs) ensures large
peak-to-peak output swings can be maintained even at
higher speeds, resulting in exceptional full power bandwidth
of 40MHz with a 3V supply. These characteristics, along with
low cost, are ideal features for a multitude of industrial and
commercial applications.
Careful attention has been paid to ensure device stability
under all operating voltages and modes. The result is a very
well behaved frequency response characteristic (0.1dB gain
flatness up the 12MHz under 150Ω load and AV = +2) with
minimal peaking (typically 2dB maximum) for any gain setting and under both heavy and light loads. This along with
fast settling time (68ns) and low distortion allows the device
to operate well in ADC buffer, and high frequency filter
applications as well as other applications.
This device family offers professional quality video performance with low DG (0.01%) and DP (0.01˚) characteristics.
Differential Gain and Differential Phase characteristics are
also well maintained under heavy loads (150Ω) and throughout the output voltage range. The LMH664X family is offered

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
intended to be functional, but specific performance is not guaranteed. For guaranteed specifications and the test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: Human body model, 1.5kΩ in series with 100pF.
Note 3: Applies to both single-supply and split-supply operation. Continuous short circuit operation at elevated ambient temperature can result in exceeding the
maximum allowed junction temperature of 150˚C.
Note 4: The maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(MAX), θJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is
PD = (TJ(MAX) - TA)/ θJA . All numbers apply for packages soldered directly onto a PC board.
Note 5: Typical values represent the most likely parametric norm.
Note 6: All limits are guaranteed by testing or statistical analysis.
Note 7: Positive current corresponds to current flowing into the device.
Note 8: Slew rate is the average of the rising and falling slew rates.
Note 9: Machine Model, 0Ω in series with 200pF.
Note 10: Short circuit test is a momentary test. See Note 11.
Note 11: Output short circuit duration is infinite for VS
< 6V at room temperature and below. For VS > 6V, allowable short circuit duration is 1.5ms.
Note 12: Offset voltage average drift determined by dividing the change in VOS at temperature extremes by the total temperature change.

LMH6642/6643/6644
Typical Performance Characteristics
LMH6642/6643/6644
Application Notes
Circuit Description:
This device family was designed to avoid output phase
reversal. With input overdrive, the output is kept near supply
rail (or as closed to it as mandated by the closed loop gain
setting and the input voltage). See Figure 1:
The LMH664X family is based on National Semiconductor’s
proprietary VIP10 dielectrically isolated bipolar process.
This device family architecture features the following:
•
Complimentary bipolar devices with exceptionally high ft
(∼8GHz) even under low supply voltage (2.7V) and low
bias current.
•
A class A-B “turn-around” stage with improved noise,
offset, and reduced power dissipation compared to similar speed devices (patent pending).
•
Common Emitter push-push output stage capable of
75mA output current (at 0.5V from the supply rails) while
consuming only 2.7mA of total supply current per channel. This architecture allows output to reach within
milli-volts of either supply rail.
•
Consistent performance from any supply voltage
(3V-10V) with little variation with supply voltage for the
most important specifications (e.g. BW, SR, IOUT, etc.)
•
Significant power saving (∼40%) compared to competitive devices on the market with similar performance.
Application Hints:
This Op Amp family is a drop-in replacement for the AD805X
family of high speed Op Amps in most applications. In addition, the LMH664X will typically save about 40% on power
dissipation, due to lower supply current, when compared to
competition. All AD805X family’s guaranteed parameters are
included in the list of LMH664X guaranteed specifications in
order to ensure equal or better level of performance. However, as in most high performance parts, due to subtleties of
applications, it is strongly recommended that the performance of the part to be evaluated is tested under actual
operating conditions to ensure full compliance to all specifications.
With 3V supplies and a common mode input voltage range
that extends 0.5V below V−, the LMH664X find applications
in low voltage/low power applications. Even with 3V supplies, the −3dB BW (@ AV = +1) is typically 115MHz with a
tested limit of 80MHz. Production testing guarantees that
process variations with not compromise speed. High frequency response is exceptionally stable confining the typical
-3dB BW over the industrial temperature range to ± 2.5%.
As can be seen from the typical performance plots, the
LMH664X output current capability (∼75mA) is enhanced
compared to AD805X. This enhancement, increases the
output load range, adding to the LMH664X’s versatility.
Because of the LMH664X’s high output current capability
attention should be given to device junction temperature in
order not to exceed the Absolute Maximum Rating.

However, if the input voltage range of −0.5V to 1V from V+ is
exceeded by more than a diode drop, the internal ESD
protection diodes will start to conduct.The current in the
diodes should be kept at or below 10mA.
Output overdrive recovery time is less than 100ns as can be
seen from Figure 2 plot:

Amp input capacitance and Q1 equivalent collector capacitance together (CIN) will cause additional phase shift to the
signal fed back to the inverting node. Cf will function as a
zero in the feedback path counter-acting the effect of the CIN
and acting to stabilized the circuit. By proper selection of Cf
such that the Op Amp open loop gain is equal to the inverse
of the feedback factor at that frequency, the response is
optimized with a theoretical 45˚ phase margin.

Single Supply, Low Power Photodiode Amplifier:
The circuit shown in Figure 3 is used to amplify the current
from a photo-diode into a voltage output. In this circuit, the
emphasis is on achieving high bandwidth and the transimpedance gain setting is kept relatively low. Because of its
high slew rate limit and high speed, the LMH664X family
lends itself well to such an application.
This circuit achieves approximately 1V/mA of transimpedance gain and capable of handling up to 1mApp from the
photodiode. Q1, in a common base configuration, isolates
the high capacitance of the photodiode (Cd) from the Op
Amp input in order to maximize speed. Input is AC coupled
through C1 to ease biasing and allow single supply operation. With 5V single supply, the device input/output is shifted
to near half supply using a voltage divider from VCC. Note
that Q1 collector does not have any voltage swing and the
Miller effect is minimized. D1, tied to Q1 base, is for temperature compensation of Q1’s bias point. Q1 collector current was set to be large enough to handle the peak-to-peak
photodiode excitation and not too large to shift the U1 output
too far from mid-supply.
No matter how low an Rf is selected, there is a need for Cf in
order to stabilize the circuit. The reason for this is that the Op

where GBWP is the Gain Bandwidth Product of the Op Amp
Optimized as such, the I-V converter will have a theoretical
pole, fp, at:
(2)
With Op Amp input capacitance of 3pF and an estimate for
Q1 output capacitance of about 3pF as well, CIN = 6pF. From
the typical performance plots, LMH6642/6643 family GBWP
is approximately 57MHz. Therefore, with Rf = 1k, from Equation 1 and 2 above.
Cf = ∼4.1pF, and fp = 39MHz

For this example, optimum Cf was empirically determined to
be around 5pF. This time domain response is shown in
Figure 4 below showing about 9ns rise/fall times, corresponding to about 39MHz for fp. The overall supply current
from the +5V supply is around 5mA with no load.
Generally, a good high frequency layout will keep power
supply and ground traces away from the inverting input and
output pins. Parasitic capacitances on these nodes to
ground will cause frequency response peaking and possible
circuit oscillations (see Application Note OA-15 for more
information). National Semiconductor suggests the following
evaluation boards as a guide for high frequency layout and
as an aid in device testing and characterization:

These free evaluation boards are shipped when a device
sample request is placed with National Semiconductor.
Another important parameter in working with high
speed/high performance amplifiers, is the component values
selection. Choosing external resistors that are large in value
will effect the closed loop behavior of the stage because of
the interaction of these resistors with parasitic capacitances.
These capacitors could be inherent to the device or a
by-product of the board layout and component placement.
Either way, keeping the resistor values lower, will diminish
this interaction to a large extent. On the other hand, choosing very low value resistors could load down nodes and will
contribute to higher overall power dissipation.
