Bandwidth vs. Frequency FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The BUF04 is a closed-loop voltage buffer based on a current feedback architecture. Its high open-loop transimpedance, high output current drive capability, and its low input offset voltage makes it useful in a variety of applications, such as buffering the inputs of sampling and flash A/D converters, audio and video line drivers, active filters, and precision op amp hoosters. Q11 Q5 Q7 Q3 C1 Q9 A transistor-level equivalent circuit for the BUF04 is illustrated in Figure 29. The input stage consists of a pair of emitter follower transistors, Q1 and Q2, whose outputs drive a second set of transistors, Q3 and Q4. The emitters of Q3 and Q4 are connected together through diodes, D1 and D2, to form a low impedance input for the feedback signal (in current mode) from the output stage. The outputs of Q3 and Q4 are then “mirrored” to Q5 and Q6 which form the gain stage of the BUF04. The signal is taken from the collectors of Q5 and Q6 which drive a “Darlington-connected” output stage made up of transistors Q7-Q10. Three R-C networks (R1–C1, R2–C2, and R3–C3) form feed-forward paths which bypass certain sections of the BUF04 for improved high frequency performance and capacitive load drive capability. Since the signal conveyed internally in the BUF04 is a current, the frequency response and slew rate of the BUF04 are insensitive to supply voltage variations.

Transistor-Level Equivalent Circuit An interesting feature of the BUF04 architecture is the use of “slew-enhancement” transistors, Q11–Q14. Under normal small signal (VIN < 2 Vbes) conditions, these transistors are normally “OFF.” In large signals, high speed transient applications where the input signal is > 2 Vbes, these transistors turn on and literally “brute-force” the output to follow the input. When the input signal drops below 2 Vbes, the transistors return to their normally “OFF” state. –9– BUF04 A two-terminal equivalent circuit of the BUF04 is shown in Figure 30 where the transistor-level equivalent circuit is reduced to its essential elements. The input stage develops a signal current, IIN, that is replicated by an internal current conveyor so as to flow through Rt, the transimpedance of the BUF04. The voltage developed across Rt is buffered by a unity-gain output voltage follower. With an open-loop Rt of 400 kΩ and an RIN of 30 Ω, the voltage gain of the BUF04, given by the ratio Rt/RIN is approximately 13,000—accurate to approximately 13.5 bits. The BUF04’s open-loop ac transimpedance response is determined by the open-loop pole formed by Rt and Ct. Since Ct is typically 8 pF, the open-loop pole occurs at approximately 50 kHz. VIN To minimize the effects of high-frequency coupling, circuits must be built with short interconnect leads, and large ground planes should he used whenever possible to provide a low resistance, low-inductance circuit path. Sockets should be avoided because the increased interlead capacitance can degrade bandwidth and stability. If sockets are necessary, individual pin sockets (oftentimes called “cage jacks,” AMP Part No. 5-330808-3 or 5-330808-6) should be used. They contribute far less stray reactance than molded socket assemblies. Offset Voltage Nulling Although the offset voltage of the BUF04 is very low (1 mV, maximum) for such a high speed buffer, the circuit shown in Figure 32 can be used if additional offset voltage nulling is required. A potentiometer ranging from 1 k to 10 k can be used for VOS nulling; with a 10 kΩ potentiometer, the trim range is ± 30 mV.

Current-Feedback Functional Equivalent Circuit of the BUF04 10µF Grounding and Bypassing Considerations V– To take full advantage of the BUF04’s very wide bandwidth, high slew rates, and dynamic range capabilities requires due diligence with regard to supply bypassing. In high speed circuits, the supply bypassing network must provide a very low impedance return path for currents flowing to and from the load network. As with any high speed application, multiple bypassing is always recommended. A 10 µF tantalum electrolytic in parallel with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is sufficient for most applications. For those high speed applications where output load currents approach 50 mA, small valued resistors (1.1 Ω to 4.7 Ω) in series with the tantalum capacitors may improve circuit transient response by damping out the capacitor’s selfinductance. Figure 31 illustrates bypassing recommendations. Figure 32. Optional Offset Voltage Nulling Scheme APPLICATIONS Output Short-Circuit Protection To optimize the transient response and output voltage swing of the BUF04, internal output short-circuit current limiting was omitted. Although the BUF04 can provide continuous output currents of 50 mA without protection, direct connection of the BUF04’s output to ground or to the supplies will destroy the device. An active current limit technique, illustrated in Figure 33, provides the necessary short-circuit protection while retaining full dc output voltage swing to the load. +15V 10µF V+ 10µF R1 RSC1 ≥10Ω 0.1µF 7 3 VIN RS BUF04 2N2905 KELVIN RETURN FOR LOAD CURRENT 6 2N2905 0.1µF 7 VOUT VIN RL 4 3 BUF04 0.1µF 4 10µF V– R2 SET ISC +(ISC–) <60mA, CONTINUOUS 0.6V RSC1 (RSC2) = ISC + (ISC–) 6 0.1µF VOUT 6.2k Ω 0.01µF 2N2219 KELVIN RETURN FOR LOAD CURRENT 2N2219 RSC2 ≥10Ω NOTE USE SHORT LEAD LENGTHS (<5mm) Figure 31.

Short-Circuit Current Limiting Using Current Sources –10– REV. 0 BUF04 Output Current Transient Recovery Settling characteristics of high speed buffers also include the buffer’s ability to recover, i.e., settle, from a transient output current load condition. When driving the input of an A/D converter, especially the successive-approximation converter types, the buffer must maintain a constant output voltage under dynamically changing load current conditions. In these types of converters, the comparison point is usually diode-clamped, but it may deviate several hundred millivolts resulting in high frequency modulation of the A/D input current. Open-loop and closed-loop buffers (also, op amps configured as followers) that exhibit high closed-loop output impedances and/or low unity gain crossover frequencies recover very slowly from output load current transients. This slow recovery leads to linearity errors or missing codes because of errors in the instantaneous input voltage. Therefore, the buffer (or op amp) chosen for this type of application should exhibit low output impedance and high unity gain bandwidth so that its output has had a chance to settle to its nominal value before the converter makes its comparison. The circuit in Figure 34 illustrates a settling measurement circuit for evaluating the recovery time of high speed buffers from an output load current transient. The input to the buffer is grounded for ease of measuring the recovery time, and two resistors are used to sum steady-state and transient load currents at the output. As a worst-case condition, R1, was chosen such that the BUF04 would source (or sink) a steady-state current of 25 mA. R2 was then chosen to add a 10 mA transient current upon the steady-state value. To set accurately the nodal voltages internal to the BUF04, the supply voltages were offset by the voltage applied to R1. Because of its high transimpedance, wide bandwidth, and low output impedance, the BUF04 exhibits an extremely fast recovery time of 60 ns to 0.01%, as shown in Figure 34. Results were identical regardless whether the BUF04 was sourcing or sinking current.

BUF04’s Output Load Current Recovery Time Terminated Line Drivers The BUF04’s high output current, large slew rate, and wide bandwidth all combine to make it an ideal device for high speed line driver applications. As shown in Figure 36, the BUF04 can be configured for driving doubly terminated 50 Ω and 75 Ω cables. To optimize the circuit’s pulse response, a capacitor, CT (CX + CTRIM), is connected across the series back termination. The BUF04 can drive a 50 Ω line to ± 2.5 V and a 75 Ω line to ± 3.75 V when operating on ± 15 V supplies.

Line Driver Configuration Low-Pass Active Filter In many signal-conditioning applications, filters are required to band-limit noise or altogether eliminate other unwanted signals prior to conversion. Often, high frequency filters are needed for these applications; however, there are few op amps that exhibit the high open-loop gain and wide unity-gain crossover frequency required for these applications. As illustrated in Figure 37, the BUF04 and a handful of passive components can be configured as a high frequency, low-pass active filter. Since the filter configuration is a unity-gain Sallen-Key topology, the BUF04 is particularly well suited for this application. In this circuit, an additional resistor, R3, was added to prevent interaction between C2 and the BUF04’s input capacitance. V– Figure 34.

A 10 MHz Low-Pass Active Filter REV. 0 –11– BUF04 Operation Within an Op Amp Feedback Loop Paralleling BUF04s for Increased Load Drive Capability The BUF04 is well suited as a current booster or isolation buffer within the closed loop of precision op amps such as the OP177, the OP97, the OP27, or the OP77. Since the BUF04 is a closed loop voltage buffer, no interstage coupling resistor between the op amp and the buffer’s input is required for circuit stability. The wide bandwidth and high slew rate of the BUF04 assure that the loop has the characteristics of the op amp; hence, no additional rolloff is required. In applications where continuous output currents greater than 50 mA are required or where heat management is an issue, a number of BUF04s can be connected in parallel to reduce the drive requirement of any one buffer. An example of one such application is illustrated in Figure 39. In this circuit, the BUF04s are required to drive a doubly terminated 50 Ω line to ± 5 V. This type of a load for a single BUF04 would certainly cause a power dissipation problem. Parallel operation results in lower input and output impedances and increased bias currents; on the other hand, input equivalent noise voltage is reduced and input offset voltage remains unchanged.

Paralleling BUF04s for High Output Currents Overdrive Recovery and Phase Reversal In applications where the inputs could be driven to the supply rails, the BUF04 recovers in 10 ns from positive or negative overdrive. The BUF04 does not exhibit any output voltage phase reversal when the input signal exceeds its input voltage range. –12– REV. 0 BUF04 * BUF04 SPICE Macro-model 7/93, Rev.
