LM6311 Low Noise High Speed Voltage Feedback Operational Amplifier General Description Features The LM6311 is a low noise voltage feedback operational amplifier with low distortion. This makes the LM6311 ideal for signal recovery, high quality video, audio and medical imaging. The conventional voltage fedback design makes it easy to use in standard active filter circuits. The low distortion makes the LM6311 a good choice for driving high resolution analog-to-digital converters. The 50 mA current drive and good capacitive load tolerance make the LM6311 useful for driving analog-to-digital converters which have switched-capacitor type inputs. The LM6311 provides low noise and high speed for a 5V single supply designs, making it useful for desktop systems and portable designs.

It is generally advisable to use two capacitors at each supply voltage pin. A small surface mount capacitor with a value of around 0.01 mF (10 nF), usually a ceramic type with good RF performance, should be placed closest to the pin. A larger capacitor, usually in the range of 1.0 mF to 4.7 mF, should also be placed near the pin. The larger capacitor should be a device with good RF characteristics and low ESR (equivalent series resistance) for best results. Ceramic and tantalum capacitors generally work well as the larger capacitor. It is very important to reduce capacitance at the input and output pins. The ground plane and any other planes (power, etc.) should be ‘‘opened up’’ or removed near the pins. The opening should extend to the middle of the nearest pins as a minimum. The LM6311 is built on a high performance bipolar process. The transistors used in this process have bandwidths much higher than the LM6311 itself. These transistors have a potential to oscillate or ring at 400 MHz to 1 GHz when used in layouts where the components are more than (/4 inch 6 mm) away from the op amp pins. These oscillations may produce apparent shifts in voltage offset or excess current consumption. To avoid this, keep the input and output resistors as close as possible to their respective pins. Spacing within (/8× (3 mm) or less is recommended for best results. For best performance, low inductance resistors, such as chip resistors, are recommended. The use of wirewound resistors is strongly not recommended. DIP devices should use socket pins which are flush with the board. Conventional sockets have additional capacitance and are not recommended. Obviously, the use of wirewrapped sockets or the ‘‘white plastic’’ push in prototype boards is strongly not recommended. GENERAL INFORMATION The LM6311 is a high speed complementary bipolar amplifier with good video performance. The LM6311 can operate on g 2.5V supplies, or from a a 5V single supply. The LM6311 is available in two package types: DIPs for through hole designs, and SO-8 surface mount packages. Benefits of the LM6311 LOW NOISE The low noise performance of the LM6311 (typically 2.3 nV per root-hertz) makes the LM6311 a good choice for signal recovery, high gain amplifiers other low noise designs. BALANCED DIFFERENTIAL INPUTS The relatively low offset currents and low offset voltage of the LM6311 make it easy to design differential signal recovery circuits. The low offset currents and voltage feedback design make it easy to use the LM6311 in conventional active filter designs. a 5V SINGLE SUPPLY OPERATION Single supply operation can avoid the cost of split power supplies, and make it easier to use the LM6311 in single supply digital systems. The LM6311 provides high bandwidth for a 5V single supply operation. See Figure 1 . Using the LM6311 LIMITS AND PRECAUTIONS Supply Voltage The absolute maximum supply voltage which may be applied to the LM6311 is 12V. Designers should not design for more than 10V nominal, and carefully check supply tolerances under all conditions so that the voltages do not exceed the maximum. Notes for a 5V Single Supply Operation Differential Input Voltage Differential input voltage is the difference in voltage between the non-inverting ( a ) input and the inverting input (b) of the op amp. The absolute maximum differential input voltage is g 10V across the inputs. This limit also applies when there is no power supplied to the op amp. Very fast input pulses into high gain circuits may cause the output to saturate, leading to an overload recovery time in the millisecond range. This requires inputs which are faster than those usually used in video systems and gain levels which will push the output of the amplifier toward the limit of its output swing. The LM6311 provides good high speed performance at a 5V, however, certain limitations should be observed in applying the LM6311. INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE Input voltage should be near the center of the V a and Vb supplies. For 5V and ground, the inputs should be between 1.75V and 3.25V. Inputs beyond this range will limit the output swing, reduce the common mode rejection and power supply rejection, lower the bandwidth, and tend to greatly increase distortion. For a 5V designs, using a reference voltage near a 2.5V is recommended. See Figure 2 . Layout and Power Supply Bypassing Since the LM6311 is a high speed (over 50 MHz) device, good high speed circuit layout practices should be followed. This should include the use of ground planes, adequate power supply bypassing, removing metal from around the input pins to reduce capacitance, and careful routing of the output signal lines to keep them away from the input pins. The power supply pins should be bypassed on both the negative and positive supply inputs with capacitors placed close to the pins. Surface mount capacitors should be used for best performance, and should be placed as close to the OUTPUT VOLTAGE SWING Output voltage swing will depend on the load and on what voltage (ground or 2.5V) is on the other side of the load. At room temperature (25§ C) and a 5V supply with a 1 kX load tied to 2.5V, the LM6311 will swing from 1.0V to 4.0V. For a ground referenced load, this output range will shift about 400 mV – 500 mV towards ground. See Figure 3 for schematics of loads referenced to the center and to ground. 11 http://www.national.com Application Information (Continued) to terminate cables and long circuit traces with their characteristic impedance to reduce reflected signals. Reflections should not be confused with overshoot. Reflections will depend on cable length, while overshoot will depend on load and feedback resistance and capacitance. When determining the type of problem, often removing or drastically shortening the cable will reduce or eliminate reflections. Overshoot can exist without a cable attached to the op amp output. If the load is too heavy (too low a resistance) for the output swing, or the output tries to go too close to either V a or Vb power supply rail, the output will ‘‘foldback’’ as shown in Figure 4 . This will distort the output signal. This should be avoided. There are many ways to avoid this, such as limiting the input signal, lowering the gain of the amplifier, or using a lighter (higher resistance) load. For designs which require low distortion, it is recommended to keep the output of the amplifier more than 300 mV away from the levels where visible distortion can be seen on an oscilloscope. For designs with wide temperature ranges which have low distortion requirements, additional margin may be required, which should be determined expermentally. See Figure 5 . Figure 5 was recorded when visible distortion was just visible. Other High Speed and Video Amplifiers National Semiconductor has an extensive line of high speed amplifiers, with a range of operating voltage from 3V single supply to g 15V, and a range of package types, such as the space saving SOT23-5 TinyPaKTM (3.05 mm x 3.00 mm x 1.43 mmÐabout the size of a grain of rice) and a wide S0-8 for better power dissipation. This op amp line includesÐ LM6171 100 MHz Low Distortion Amplifier with l 3000 V/ms slew rate. Voltage Feedback design draws only 2.5 mA. Specified at g 15V and g 5V supplies. LM7131 TinyPaK (SOT23-5) Video amplifier with 70 MHz gain bandwidth. Specified at 3V, 5V and g 5V supplies. LM7171 200 MHz Voltage Feedback amplifier with 100 mA output current and 4000V/ms slew rate. Supply current of 6.5 mA. Specified at g 15V and g 5V. Information on these parts is available from your National Semiconductor representative. External Compensation Capacitor An external compensation capacitor of 27 pF is recommended for use with the LM6311. The capacitor should be connected between pin 5 and ground, and should be placed close to the LM6311. This capacitor increases the phase margin of the LM6311, allowing it to be used in low gain circuits, such as AV e a 1. A lower value of compensation capacitor (such as 10 pF) will increase bandwidth at the expense of phase margin. This will result in more peaking and ringing with low gain circuits (AV less than 5). A lower value of compensation capacitor can be useful for single supply ( a 5V only) circuits. Designer should avoid very low values of compensation capacitors in low gain circuits since this will reduce phase margin and may cause some circuits to oscillate.
