NSC LM6104

LM6104
Quad Gray Scale Current Feedback Amplifier
General Description
Features (Typical unless otherwise noted)
The LM6104 quad amplifier meets the requirements of battery operated liquid crystal displays by providing high speed
while maintaining low power consumption.
Combining this high speed with high integration, the
LM6104 conserves valuable board space in portable systems with a cost effective, surface mount quad package.
Built on National’s advanced high speed VIPTM (Vertically
Integrated PNP) process, the LM6104 current feedback architecture is easily compensated for speed and loading conditions. These features make the LM6104 ideal for buffering
grey levels in liquid crystal displays.

Applications Information
Bandwidth and slew rate are inversely proportional to the
value of RF (see typical curve Frequency Response vs RF).
This makes the amplifier especially easy to compensate for
a desired pulse response (see typical curve Large Signal
Pulse Response). Increased capacitive load driving capability is also achieved by increasing the value of RF.
The LM6104 has guaranteed performance with a feedback
resistor of 2 kX.
CURRENT FEEDBACK TOPOLOGY
The small-signal bandwidth of conventional voltage feedback amplifiers is inversely proportional to the closed-loop
gain based on the gain-bandwidth concept. In contrast, the
current feedback amplifier topology, such as the LM6104,
enables a signal bandwidth that is relatively independent of
the amplifier’s gain (see typical curve Frequency Response
vs Closed Loop Gain).
FEEDBACK RESISTOR SELECTION: RF
CAPACITIVE FEEDBACK
It is common to place a small lead capacitor in parallel with
feedback resistance to compensate voltage feedback amplifiers. Do not place a capacitor across RF to limit the bandwidth of current feedback amplifiers. The dynamic impedance of capacitors in the feedback path of the LM6104, as
with any current feedback amplifier, will cause instability.
Current feedback amplifier bandwidth and slew rate are
controlled by RF. RF and the amplifier’s internal compensation capacitor set the dominant pole in the frequency response. The amplifier, therefore, always requires a feedback resistor, even in unity gain.
