The suggested nulling circuit for the LT1226 is shown below. Small Signal, AV = +25 Small Signal, AV = – 25 Offset Nulling V+ 5k 1 3 + 8 7 LT1226 2 – 6 4 0.1µF V– LT1226 AI01 Layout and Passive Components As with any high speed operational amplifier, care must be taken in board layout in order to obtain maximum performance. Key layout issues include: use of a ground plane, minimization of stray capacitance at the input pins, short lead lengths, RF-quality bypass capacitors located close to the device (typically 0.01µF to 0.1µF), and use of low ESR bypass capacitors for high drive current applications (typically 1µF to 10µF tantalum). Sockets should be avoided when maximum frequency performance is required, although low profile sockets can provide reasonable performance up to 50MHz. For more details see Design Note 50. Feedback resistors greater than 5kΩ are not recommended because a pole is formed with the input capacitance which can cause peaking. If feedback resistors greater than 5kΩ are used, a parallel capacitor of 5pF to 10pF should be used to cancel the input pole and optimize dynamic performance. Transient Response The LT1226 gain bandwidth is 1GHz when measured at 1MHz. The actual frequency response in a gain of +25 is considerably higher than 40MHz due to peaking caused by a second pole beyond the gain of 25 crossover point. This is reflected in the small signal transient response. Higher noise gain configurations exhibit less overshoot as seen in the inverting gain of 25 response. 6 LT1226 AI02 0.1µF The large signal response in both inverting and noninverting gain shows symmetrical slewing characteristics. Normally the noninverting response has a much faster rising edge due to the rapid change in input common mode voltage which affects the tail current of the input differential pair. Slew enhancement circuitry has been added to the LT1226 so that the falling edge slew rate is enhanced which balances the noninverting slew rate response. Large Signal, AV = +25 Large Signal, AV = – 25 LT1226 AI03 Input Considerations Resistors in series with the inputs are recommended for the LT1226 in applications where the differential input voltage exceeds ±6V continuously or on a transient basis. An example would be in noninverting configurations with high input slew rates or when driving heavy capacitive loads. The use of balanced source resistance at each input is recommended for applications where DC accuracy must be maximized. Capacitive Loading The LT1226 is stable with all capacitive loads. This is accomplished by sensing the load induced output pole and adding compensation at the amplifier gain node. As the capacitive load increases, both the bandwidth and phase margin decrease so there will be peaking in the LT1226 W U U UO APPLICATI S I FOR ATIO frequency domain and in the transient response. The photo of the small signal response with 1000pF load shows 55% peaking. The large signal response with a 10,000pF load shows the output slew rate being limited by the short circuit current. AV = –25, CL = 1000pF AV = +25, CL = 10,000pF LT1226 AI04 The LT1226 can drive coaxial cable directly, but for best pulse fidelity the cable should be doubly terminated with a resistor in series with the output. Compensation configurations (i.e., in a gain of 1000 it will have a bandwidth of about 1MHz). The amplifier is stable in a noise gain of 25 so the ratio of the output signal to the inverting input must be 1/25 or less. Straightforward gain configurations of +25 or –24 are stable, but there are a few configurations that allow the amplifier to be stable for lower signal gains (the noise gain, however, remains 25 or more). One example is the inverting amplifier shown in the typical applications sections below. The input signal has a gain of –RF/RIN to the output, but it is easily seen that this configuration is equivalent to a gain of –24 as far as the amplifier is concerned. Lag compensation can also be used to give a low frequency gain less than 25 with a high frequency gain of 25 or greater. The example below has a DC gain of 6, but an AC gain of +31. The break frequency of the RC combination across the amplifier inputs should be at least a factor of 10 less than the gain bandwidth of the amplifier divided by the high frequency gain (in this case 1/10 of 1GHz/31 or 3MHz). The LT1226 has a typical gain bandwidth product of 1GHz which allows it to have wide bandwidth in high gain UO TYPICAL APPLICATI Cable Driving S + VIN Lag Compensation R3 75 Ω 75Ω CABLE LT1226 VOUT – + VIN 200Ω R4 75Ω R1 1.2k LT1226 VOUT – R2 50Ω 330pF 5k LT1226 TA04 VOS Null Loop LT1226 TA03 1k AV = +6, f < 2MHz 300k 1 Compensation for Lower Closed-Loop Gains + VIN RIN VOUT – – 10k LT1226 RC 8 LT1226 RF VIN 300k 25k 100pF 10k 25Ω VOUT + – LT1097 LT1226 TA05 R AV = – F ; RF ≥ 24 × (RIN || RC) RIN 100pF + Information furnished by Linear Technology Corporation is believed to be accurate and reliable.
