a High Performance Video Op Amp AD811 APPLICATIONS Video Crosspoint Switchers, Multimedia Broadcast Systems HDTV Compatible Systems Video Line Drivers, Distribution Amplifiers ADC/DAC Buffers DC Restoration Circuits Medical—Ultrasound, PET, Gamma and Counter Applications PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The AD811 is a wideband current-feedback operational amplifier, optimized for broadcast quality video systems. The –3 dB bandwidth of 120 MHz at a gain of +2 and differential gain and phase of 0.01% and 0.01° (RL = 150 Ω) make the AD811 an excellent choice for all video systems. The AD811 is designed to meet a stringent 0.1 dB gain flatness specification to a bandwidth of 35 MHz (G = +2) in addition to the low differential gain and phase errors. This performance is achieved whether driving one or two back terminated 75 Ω cables, with a low power supply current of 16.5 mA. Furthermore, the AD811 is specified over a power supply range of ± 4.5 V to ± 18 V.

It can achieve a maximum slew rate of greater than 2500 V/µs with a settling time of less than 25 ns to 0.1% on a 2 volt step and 65 ns to 0.01% on a 10 volt step. The AD811 is ideal as an ADC or DAC buffer in data acquisition systems due to its low distortion up to 10 MHz and its wide unity gain bandwidth. Because the AD811 is a current feedback amplifier, this bandwidth can be maintained over a wide range of gains. The AD811 also offers low voltage and current noise of 1.9 nV/√Hz and 20 pA/√Hz, respectively, and excellent dc accuracy for wide dynamic range applications. 12 G = +2 RL = 150V RG = RFB 9 VS = 615V 6 GAIN – dB 0.18 RF = 649V FC = 3.58MHz 100 IRE MODULATED RAMP RL = 150V DIFFERENTIAL PHASE – Degrees 0.09 NC NC 3 2 1 20 19 0.20 0.10 DIFFERENTIAL GAIN – % CONNECTION DIAGRAMS 20-Lead LCC (E-20A) Package 8-Lead Plastic (N-8) Cerdip (Q-8) SOIC (SO-8) Packages –VS FEATURES High Speed 140 MHz Bandwidth (3 dB, G = +1) 120 MHz Bandwidth (3 dB, G = +2) 35 MHz Bandwidth (0.1 dB, G = +2) 2500 V/s Slew Rate 25 ns Settling Time to 0.1% (For a 2 V Step) 65 ns Settling Time to 0.01% (For a 10 V Step) Excellent Video Performance (RL =150 ⍀) 0.01% Differential Gain, 0.01ⴗ Differential Phase Voltage Noise of 1.9 nV√Hz Low Distortion: THD = –74 dB @ 10 MHz Excellent DC Precision 3 mV max Input Offset Voltage Flexible Operation Specified for ⴞ5 V and ⴞ15 V Operation ⴞ2.3 V Output Swing into a 75 ⍀ Load (VS = ⴞ5 V) 3 VS = 65V 0 –3 0.02 0.01 –6 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 SUPPLY VOLTAGE – 6Volts 1M 10M 100M FREQUENCY – Hz REV.

For the plastic packages, the maximum safe junction temperature is +145°C. For the cerdip and LCC packages, the maximum junction temperature is +175°C. If these maximums are exceeded momentarily, proper circuit operation will be restored as soon as the die temperature is reduced. Leaving the device in the “overheated” condition for an extended period can result in device burnout. To ensure proper operation, it is important to observe the derating curves in Figures 17 and 18. While the AD811 is internally short circuit protected, this may not be sufficient to guarantee that the maximum junction temperature is not exceeded under all conditions. One important example is when the amplifier is driving a reverse terminated 75 Ω cable and the cable’s far end is shorted to a power supply. With power supplies of ± 12 volts (or less) at an ambient temperature of +25°C or less, if the cable is shorted to a supply rail, then the amplifier will not be destroyed, even if this condition persists for an extended period.

This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. 2 8-Lead Plastic Package: θJA = 90°C/W 8-Lead Cerdip Package: θJA = 110°C/W 8-Lead SOIC Package: θJA = 155°C/W 16-Lead SOIC Package: θJA = 85°C/W 20-Lead SOIC Package: θJA = 80°C/W 20-Lead LCC Package: θJA = 70°C/W ESD SUSCEPTIBILITY ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device.

D AD811 Achieving the Flattest Gain Response at High Frequency APPLICATIONS General Design Considerations Achieving and maintaining gain flatness of better than 0.1 dB at frequencies above 10 MHz requires careful consideration of several issues. The AD811 is a current feedback amplifier optimized for use in high performance video and data acquisition applications. Since it uses a current feedback architecture, its closed-loop –3 dB bandwidth is dependent on the magnitude of the feedback resistor. The desired closed-loop gain and bandwidth are obtained by varying the feedback resistor (RFB) to tune the bandwidth, and varying the gain resistor (RG) to get the correct gain. Table I contains recommended resistor values for a variety of useful closed-loop gains and supply voltages. Choice of Feedback and Gain Resistors Because of the above-mentioned relationship between the 3 dB bandwidth and the feedback resistor, the fine scale gain flatness will, to some extent, vary with feedback resistor tolerance. It is, therefore, recommended that resistors with a 1% tolerance be used if it is desired to maintain flatness over a wide range of production lots. In addition, resistors of different construction have different associated parasitic capacitance and inductance. Metal-film resistors were used for the bulk of the characterization for this data sheet. It is possible that values other than those indicated will be optimal for other resistor types.

Of concern are stray capacitances at the output and the inverting input nodes. If a ground plane is to be used on the same side of the board as the signal traces, a space (3/16" is plenty) should be left around the signal lines to minimize coupling. Additionally, signal lines connecting the feedback and gain resistors should be short enough so that their associated inductance does not cause high frequency gain errors. Line lengths less than 1/4" are recommended. Quality of Coaxial Cable Optimum flatness when driving a coax cable is possible only when the driven cable is terminated at each end with a resistor matching its characteristic impedance. If the coax was ideal, then the resulting flatness would not be affected by the length of the cable. While outstanding results can be achieved using inexpensive cables, it should be noted that some variation in flatness due to varying cable lengths may be experienced. Power Supply Bypassing Adequate power supply bypassing can be critical when optimizing the performance of a high frequency circuit. Inductance in the power supply leads can form resonant circuits that produce peaking in the amplifier’s response. In addition, if large current transients must be delivered to the load, then bypass capacitors (typically greater than 1 µF) will be required to provide the best settling time and lowest distortion. Although the recommended 0.1 µF power supply bypass capacitors will be sufficient in many applications, more elaborate bypassing (such as using two paralleled capacitors) may be required in some cases. Figures 11 and 12 illustrate the relationship between the feedback resistor and the frequency and time domain response characteristics for a closed-loop gain of +2. (The response at other gains will be similar.) The 3 dB bandwidth is somewhat dependent on the power supply voltage. As the supply voltage is decreased for example, the magnitude of internal junction capacitances is increased, causing a reduction in closed-loop bandwidth. To compensate for this, smaller values of feedback resistor are used at lower supply voltages. REV. D –9– AD811 Driving Capacitive Loads 100 The feedback and gain resistor values in Table I will result in very flat closed-loop responses in applications where the load capacitances are below 10 pF. Capacitances greater than this will result in increased peaking and overshoot, although not necessarily in a sustained oscillation.

Note that it may be necessary to adjust the gain setting resistor, RG, to correct for the attenuation which results due to the divider formed by the series resistor, RS, and the load resistance. +VS 0.1mF RG RS (OPTIONAL) VOUT AD811 VIN 80 VALUE OF RS – V There are at least two very effective ways to compensate for this effect. One way is to increase the magnitude of the feedback resistor, which lowers the 3 dB frequency. The other method is to include a small resistor in series with the output of the amplifier to isolate it from the load capacitance. The results of these two techniques are illustrated in Figure 32. Using a 1.5 kΩ feedback resistor, the output ripple is less than 0.5 dB when driving 100 pF. The main disadvantage of this method is that it sacrifices a little bit of gain flatness for increased capacitive load drive capability. With the second method, using a series resistor, the loss of flatness does not occur. G = +2 VS = 615V RS VALUE SPECIFIED IS FOR FLATTEST FREQUENCY RESPONSE 90 CL RL RT 0.1mF Applications which require driving a large load capacitance at a high slew rate are often limited by the output current available from the driving amplifier. For example, an amplifier limited to 25 mA output current cannot drive a 500 pF load at a slew rate greater than 50 V/µs. However, because of the AD811’s 100 mA output current, a slew rate of 200 V/µs is achievable when driving this same 500 pF capacitor (see Figure 34). –VS 2V Figure 31.

Performance Comparison of Two Methods for Driving a Capacitive Load –10– REV. D AD811 Operation as a Video Line Driver 1V The AD811 has been designed to offer outstanding performance at closed-loop gains of one or greater, while driving multiple reverse-terminated video loads. The lowest differential gain and phase errors will be obtained when using ± 15 volt power supplies. With ± 12 volt supplies, there will be an insignificant increase in these errors and a slight improvement in gain flatness. Due to power dissipation considerations, ± 12 volt supplies are recommended for optimum video performance. Excellent performance can be achieved at much lower supplies as well. 100 VIN 0% Another important consideration when driving multiple cables is the high frequency isolation between the outputs of the cables. Due to its low output impedance, the AD811 achieves better than 40 dB of output to output isolation at 5 MHz driving back terminated 75 Ω cables. Figure 37.

D a –11– AD811 The gain can be increased to 20 dB (×10) by raising R8 and R9 to 1.27 kΩ, with a corresponding decrease in –3 dB bandwidth to about 25 MHz. The maximum output voltage under these conditions will be increased to ± 9 V using ± 12 V supplies. An 80 MHz Voltage-Controlled Amplifier Circuit The voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) circuit of Figure 40 shows the AD811 being used with the AD834, a 500 MHz, 4-quadrant multiplier. The AD834 multiplies the signal input by the dc control voltage, VG. The AD834 outputs are in the form of differential currents from a pair of open collectors, ensuring that the full bandwidth of the multiplier (which exceeds 500 MHz) is available for certain applications. Here, the AD811 op amp provides a buffered, single-ended groundreferenced output. Using feedback resistors R8 and R9 of 511 Ω, the overall gain ranges from –70 dB, for VG = 0 dB to +12 dB, (a numerical gain of four), when VG = +1 V. The overall transfer function of the VCA is: The gain-control input voltage, VG, may be a positive or negative ground-referenced voltage, or fully differential, depending on the user’s choice of connections at Pins 7 and 8. A positive value of VG results in an overall noninverting response. Reversing the sign of VG simply causes the sign of the overall response to invert. In fact, although this circuit has been classified as a voltage-controlled amplifier, it is also quite useful as a generalpurpose four-quadrant multiplier, with good load-driving capabilities and fully-symmetrical responses from X- and Y-inputs. VOUT = 4 (X1 – X2)(Y1 – Y2) The AD811 and AD834 can both be operated from power supply voltages of ± 5 V. While it is not necessary to power them from the same supplies, the common-mode voltage at W1 and W2 must be biased within the common-mode range of the AD811’s input stage. To achieve the lowest differential gain and phase errors, it is recommended that the AD811 be operated from power supply voltages of ± 10 volts or greater. This VCA circuit is designed to operate from a ± 12 volt dual power supply. which reduces to VOUT = 4 VG VIN using the labeling conventions shown in Figure 40. The circuit’s –3 dB bandwidth of 80 MHz, is maintained essentially constant—independent of gain. The response can be maintained flat to within ± 0.1 dB from dc to 40 MHz at full gain with the addition of an optional capacitor of about 0.3 pF across the feedback resistor R8. The circuit produces a full-scale output of ± 4 V for a ± 1 V input, and can drive a reverse-terminated load of 50 Ω or 75 Ω to ±2 V.

An 80 MHz Voltage-Controlled Amplifier –12– REV. D AD811 A Video Keyer Circuit By using two AD834 multipliers, an AD811, and a 1 V dc source, a special form of a two-input VCA circuit called a video keyer can be assembled. “Keying” is the term used in reference to blending two or more video sources under the control of a third signal or signals to create such special effects as dissolves and overlays. The circuit shown in Figure 41 is a two-input keyer, with video inputs VA and VB, and a control input VG. The transfer function (with VOUT at the load) is given by: VOUT = G VA + (1–G) VB where G is a dimensionless variable (actually, just the gain of the “A” signal path) that ranges from 0 when VG = 0, to 1 when VG = +1 V. Thus, VOUT varies continuously between VA and VB as G varies from 0 to 1. Circuit operation is straightforward. Consider first the signal path through U1, which handles video input VA. Its gain is clearly zero when VG = 0 and the scaling we have chosen ensures that it is unity when VG = +1 V; this takes care of the first term of the transfer function. On the other hand, the VG input to U2 is taken to the inverting input X2 while X1 is biased at an accurate +1 V. Thus, when VG = 0, the response to video input VB is already at its full-scale value of unity, whereas when VG = +1 V, the differential input X1–X2 is zero. This generates the second term. The bias currents required at the output of the multipliers are provided by R8 and R9. A dc-level-shifting network comprising R10/R12 and R11/R13 ensures that the input nodes of the AD811 are positioned at a voltage within its common-mode range. At high frequencies C1 and C2 bypass R10 and R11 respectively. R14 is included to lower the HF loop gain, and is needed because the voltage-to-current conversion in the AD834s, via the Y2 inputs, results in an effective value of the feedback resistance of 250 Ω; this is only about half the value required for optimum flatness in the AD811’s response. (Note that this resistance is unaffected by G: when G = 1, all the feedback is via U1, while when G = 0 it is all via U2). R14 reduces the fractional amount of output current from the multipliers into the current-summing inverting input of the AD811, by sharing it with R8. This resistor can be used to adjust the bandwidth and damping factor to best suit the application. To generate the 1 V dc needed for the “1–G” term an AD589 reference supplies 1.225 V ± 25 mV to a voltage divider consisting of resistors R2 through R4. Potentiometer R3 should be adjusted to provide exactly +1 V at the X1 input. In this case, we have shown an arrangement using dual supplies of ± 5 V for both the AD834 and the AD811. Also, the overall gain in this case is arranged to be unity at the load, when it is driven from a reverse-terminated 75 Ω line. This means that the “dual VCA” has to operate at a maximum gain of 2, rather C1 0.1mF +5V R7 45.3V R5 113V VG R14 SEE TEXT R10 2.49kV TO PIN 6 AD811 R6 226V (0 TO +1V dc) SETUP FOR DRIVING REVERSE-TERMINATED LOAD ZO VOUT ZO 200V TO Y2 8 X2 7 6 X1 +VS 5 W1 200V +5V R1 1.87kV R2 174V INSET U1 AD834 U4 AD589 Y1 Y2 –VS 1 2 3 R8 29.4V R12 6.98kV +5V W2 4 VA FB (61V FS) C3 0.1mF –5V +5V R3 100V R4 1.02kV 8 X2 7 6 X1 +V S R9 29.4V 5 W1 R13 6.98kV Y1 Y2 –VS W2 1 2 3 4 U3 AD811 R11 2.49kV –5V Figure 41.

However, this cannot be achieved by lowering the feedback resistor, since below a critical value (not much less than 500 Ω) the AD811’s peaking may be unacceptable. This is because the dominant pole in the open-loop ac response of a current-feedback amplifier is controlled by this feedback resistor. It would be possible to operate at a gain of X4 and then attenuate the signal at the output. Instead, we have chosen to attenuate the signals by 6 dB at the input to the AD811; this is the function of R8 through R11. R14 = 49.9V 0 CLOSED-LOOP GAIN – dB –10 Figure 42 is a plot of the ac response of the feedback keyer, when driving a reverse terminated 50 Ω cable. Output noise and adjacent channel feedthrough, with either channel fully off and the other fully on, is about –50 dB to 10 MHz. The feedthrough at 100 MHz is limited primarily by board layout. For VG = +1 V, the –3 dB bandwidth is 15 MHz when using a 137 Ω resistor for R14 and 70 MHz with R14 = 49.9 Ω.
