C 60 50 –9– 0 PERCENT –9 1M AD8001 Achieving and maintaining gain flatness of better than 0.1 dB at frequencies above 10 MHz requires careful consideration of several issues. THEORY OF OPERATION A very simple analysis can put the operation of the AD8001, a current feedback amplifier, in familiar terms. Being a current feedback amplifier, the AD8001’s open-loop behavior is expressed as transimpedance, ∆VO/∆I–IN, or TZ. The open-loop transimpedance behaves just as the open-loop voltage gain of a voltage feedback amplifier, that is, it has a large dc value and decreases at roughly 6 dB/octave in frequency. 1M 100k Since the RIN is proportional to 1/gM, the equivalent voltage gain is just TZ × gM, where the gM in question is the transconductance of the input stage. This results in a low open-loop input impedance at the inverting input, a now familiar result. Using this amplifier as a follower with gain, Figure 40, basic analysis yields the following result. TZ – V 10k 1k 100 TZ (S ) VO =G× VIN TZ (S ) + G × RIN + R1 R1 G = 1+ R2 10 100k RIN = 1 / g M ≈ 50 Ω 1M 10M FREQUENCY – Hz 100M 1G Figure 41. Transimpedance vs. Frequency Recognizing that G × R IN << R1 for low gains, it can be seen to the first order that bandwidth for this amplifier is independent of gain (G). This simple analysis in conjunction with Figure 41 can, in fact, predict the behavior of the AD8001 over a wide range of conditions. 0.1 RF = 649V 0 RF = 698V –0.1 –0.2 OUTPUT – dB R1 R2 RIN VOUT G = +2 –0.3 RF = 750V –0.4 –0.5 –0.6 –0.7 VIN –0.8 –0.9 1M Figure 40. Considering that additional poles contribute excess phase at high frequencies, there is a minimum feedback resistance below which peaking or oscillation may result. This fact is used to determine the optimum feedback resistance, R F. In practice parasitic capacitance at Pin 2 will also add phase in the feedback loop, so picking an optimum value for R F can be difficult. Figure 42 illustrates this problem. Here the fine scale (0.1 dB/div) flatness is plotted vs feedback resistance. These plots were taken using an evaluation card which is available to customers so that these results may readily be duplicated (see Evaluation Board section). 10M FREQUENCY – Hz 100M Figure 42. 0.1 dB Flatness vs. Frequency Choice of Feedback and Gain Resistors Because of the above-mentioned relationship between the bandwidth and feedback resistor, the fine scale gain flatness will, to some extent, vary with feedback resistance. It, therefore, is recommended that once optimum resistor values have been determined, 1% tolerance values should 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. Surface mount resistors were used for the bulk of the characterization for this data sheet. It is not recommended that leaded components be used with the AD8001. –10– REV. C AD8001 Printed Circuit Board Layout Considerations Driving Capacitive Loads As to be expected for a wideband amplifier, PC board parasitics can affect the overall closed-loop performance. 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 (5 mm min) 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 on the order of less than 5 mm are recommended. If long runs of coaxial cable are being driven, dispersion and loss must be considered. The AD8001 was designed primarily to drive nonreactive loads. If driving loads with a capacitive component is desired, best frequency response is obtained by the addition of a small series resistance as shown in Figure 44. The accompanying graph shows the optimum value for RSERIES vs. capacitive load. It is worth noting that the frequency response of the circuit when driving large capacitive loads will be dominated by the passive roll-off of RSERIES and CL. 909V Power Supply Bypassing RSERIES 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. A parallel combination of 4.7 µF and 0.1 µF is recommended. Some brands of electrolytic capacitors will require a small series damping resistor ≈4.7 Ω for optimum results. IN RL 500V CL Figure 44.

C –11– 30 RSERIES – V There are three major noise and offset terms to consider in a current feedback amplifier. For offset errors refer to the equation below. For noise error the terms are root-sum-squared to give a net output error. In the circuit below (Figure 43) they are input offset (VIO) which appears at the output multiplied by the noise gain of the circuit (1 + R F/RI), noninverting input current (IBN × RN) also multiplied by the noise gain, and the inverting input current, which when divided between RF and RI and subsequently multiplied by the noise gain always appears at the output as IBN × RF. The input voltage noise of the AD8001 is a low 2 nV/√Hz. At low gains though the inverting input current noise times RF is the dominant noise source. Careful layout and device matching contribute to better offset and drift specifications for the AD8001 compared to many other current feedback amplifiers. The typical performance curves in conjunction with the equations below can be used to predict the performance of the AD8001 in any application. 20 10 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 CL – pF Figure 45. Recommended RSERIES vs. Capacitive Load AD8001 Communications Operation as a Video Line Driver Distortion is a key specification in communications applications. Intermodulation distortion (IMD) is a measure of the ability of an amplifier to pass complex signals without the generation of spurious harmonics. The third order products are usually the most problematic since several of them fall near the fundamentals and do not lend themselves to filtering. Theory predicts that the third order harmonic distortion components increase in power at three times the rate of the fundamental tones. The specification of third order intercept as the virtual point where fundamental and harmonic power are equal is one standard measure of distortion performance. Op amps used in closedloop applications do not always obey this simple theory. At a gain of two, the AD8001 has performance summarized in Figure 46. Here the worst third order products are plotted vs. input power. The third order intercept of the AD8001 is +33 dBm at 10 MHz. The AD8001 has been designed to offer outstanding performance as a video line driver. The important specifications of differential gain (0.01%) and differential phase (0.025°) meet the most exacting HDTV demands for driving one video load. The AD8001 also drives up to two back terminated loads as shown in Figure 47, with equally impressive performance (0.01%, 0.07°). Another important consideration is isolation between loads in a multiple load application. The AD8001 has more than 40 dB of isolation at 5 MHz when driving two 75 Ω back terminated loads. 909V 75V 75V CABLE 909V VOUT #1 +VS 75V 0.001mF + 0.1mF –45 THIRD ORDER IMD – dBc –50 75V CABLE G = +2 F1 = 10MHz AD8001 VIN F2 = 12MHz 75V CABLE VOUT #2 0.1mF 75V 75V 2F2 – F1 –55 75V 0.001mF –60 –VS 2F1 – F2 –65 Figure 47.

C AD8001 to both ADCs as shown in Figure 48 reduces the number of external components required to create a complete data acquisition system. The 20 Ω resistors in series with ADC inputs are used to help the AD8001s drive the 10 pF ADC input capacitance. The AD8001 only adds 100 mW to the power consumption while not limiting the performance of the circuit. Driving A-to-D Converters The AD8001 is well suited for driving high speed analog-todigital converters such as the AD9058. The AD9058 is a dual 8-bit 50 MSPS ADC. In the circuit below the AD8001 is shown driving the inputs of the AD9058, which are configured for 0 V to +2 V ranges. Bipolar input signals are buffered, amplified (–2×), and offset (by +1.0 V) into the proper input range of the ADC.

Layout Considerations The specified high speed performance of the AD8001 requires careful attention to board layout and component selection. Proper RF design techniques and low parasitic component selection are mandatory. The feedback resistor should be located close to the inverting input pin in order to keep the stray capacitance at this node to a minimum. Capacitance variations of less than 1 pF at the inverting input will significantly affect high speed performance. The PCB should have a ground plane covering all unused portions of the component side of the board to provide a low impedance ground path. The ground plane should be removed from the area near the input pins to reduce stray capacitance. Stripline design techniques should be used for long signal traces (greater than about 1 in.). These should be designed with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω or 75 Ω and be properly terminated at each end. Chip capacitors should be used for supply bypassing (see Figure 49). One end should be connected to the ground plane and the other within 1/8-inch of each power pin.
