CLC401 Fast Settling, Wideband High Gain Monolithic Op Amp General Description The CLC401 is a wideband, fast settling op amp designed for applications requiring gains greater than ± 7. Constructed using an advanced complementary bipolar process and a proprietary design, the CLC401 features dynamic performance far beyond that of typical high speed monolithic op amps. For example, at a gain of +20, the −3dB bandwidth is 150MHz and the rise/fall time is only 2.5ns. The wide bandwidth and linear phase (0.2˚ deviation from linear at 50MHz) and a very flat gain response makes the CLC401 ideal for many digital communication system applications. For example, demodulators need both DC coupling and high frequency amplification-requirements that are ordinarily difficult to meet. The very fast 10ns settling to 0.1% and the ability to drive capacitive loads lend themselves well to flash A/D applications. Systems employing D/A converters also benefit from the settling time and also by the fact that current-to-voltage transimpedance amplification is easily accomplished. The CLC401 provides a quick, effective design solution. Its stable operation over the entire ± 7 to ± 50 gain range precludes the need for external compensation. And, unlike many other high speed-op amps, the CLC401’s power dissipation of 150mW is compatible with designs which must limit total power dissipation or power supply requirements. The CLC401 is based on National’s proprietary op amp topology that uses current feedback instead of the usual voltage feedback. This unique design has many advantages over conventional designs (such as settling time that is relatively independent of gain), yet it is used in basically the same way (see the gain equations in Figure 1 and Figure 2). However, an understanding of the topology will aid in achieving the best performance. The discussion below will proceed for the non-inverting gain configuration with the inverting mode analysis being very similar.

For an idealized treatment, set Zi = 0 which results in a very simple LG = Z(s)/Rf (Derivation of the transfer function for the case where Zi = 0 is given in Application Note AN300-1). Using the Z(s) (open-loop transimpedance gain) plot shown on the previous page and dividing by the recommended Rf = 1.5kΩ, yields a large loop gain at DC. As a result, Equation 1 shows that the closed-loop gain at DC is very close to (1+Rf/Rg). At higher frequencies, the roll-off of Z(s) determines the closed-loop frequency response which, ideally, is dependent only on Rf. The specifications reported on the previous pages are therefore valid only for the specified R = 1.5kΩ. Increasing R from 1.5kΩ will decrease the loop gain and band width, while decreasing it will increase the loop gain possibly leading to inadequate phase margin and closed-loop peaking. Conversely, fixing Rf will hold the frequency response constant while the closed-loop gain can be adjusted using Rg. The CLC401 departs from this idealized analysis to the extent that the inverting input impedance is finite. With the low quiescent power of the CLC401, Z ≅ 50Ω leading to drop in loop gain and bandwidth at high gain settlings, as given by Equation 2. The second term is Equation 2 accounts for the division in feedback current that occurs between Zi and Rf\Rg at the inverting node of the CLC400. This decrease in bandwidth can be circumvented as described in “Increasing Bandwidth at High Gains.” DC Accuracy and Noise Since the two inputs for the CLC401 are quite dissimilar, the noise and offset error performance differs somewhat from that of a standard differential input amplifier. Specifically, the inverting input current noise is much larger than the non-inverting current noise. Also the two input bias currents are physically unrelated rendering bias current cancellation through matching of the inverting and non-inverting pin resistors ineffective. In Equation 3, the output offset is the algebraic sum of the equivalent input voltage and current sources that influence DC operation. Output noise is determined similarly except that a root-sum-of-squares replaces the algebraic sum. Rs is the non-inverting pin resistance. Equation 3 Output Offset VO = ± IBN x RS (1+ Rf/Rg) ± VIO (1+ Rf/Rg) ± IBI x Rf 01274415 FIGURE 1. Recommended Non-Inverting Gain Circuit 01274416 FIGURE 2. Recommended Inverting Gain Circuit Understanding the Loop Gain Referring to the equivalent circuit of Figure 3, any current flowing in the inverting input is amplified to a voltage at the output through the transimpedance gain shown on the plots on page 3. This Z(s) is analogous to the open-loop gain of a voltage feedback amplifier. 01274422 FIGURE 3. Current feedback topology An important observation is that for fixed Rf, offsets as referred to the input improve as the gain is increased (divide all terms by 1+Rf/Rg). A similar result is obtained for noise where noise figure improves as gain increases. Developing the non-inverting frequency response for the topology of Figure 3 yields: www.national.com 8 Capacitive Feedback The CLC400 is intended for gains of ± 1 to ± 8 while the CLC401 is designed for gains of ± 7 to ± 50. Optimum per- Capacitive feedback should not be used with the CLC401 because of the potential for loop instability. See Application Note OA-7 for active filter realizations with the CLC401. Printed Circuit Layout formance is achieved with a feedback resistor of 250Ω with the CLC400 and 1.5Ω with the CLC401- this distinction may be important in transimpedance applications such as D/A buffering. Although the CLC400 can be used at higher gains, the CLC401 will provide a wider bandwidth because loop gain losses due to finite Zi are lower with the larger CLC401 feedback resistor as explained above. On the other hand, the lower recommended feedback resistance of the CLC400 minimizes the output errors due to inverting input noise and bias currents. Increasing Bandwidth At High Gains Bandwidth may be increased at high closed-loop gains by adjusting Rf and Rgto make up for the losses in loop gain that occur at these high gain settlings due to current division at the inverting input. An approximate relationship my be obtained by holding the LG expression constant as the gain is changed from the design point used in the specifications (that is, Rf = 1.5kΩ and Rg = 79Ω). For the CLC401 this gives, Equation 4 As with any high frequency device, a good PCB layout will enhance performance. Ground plane construction and good power supply bypassing close to the package are critical to achieving full performance. In the non-inverting configuration, the amplifier is sensitive to stray capacitance to ground at the inverting input. Hence, the inverting node connections should be small with minimal coupling to the ground plane. Shunt capacitance across the feedback resistor should not be used to compensate for this effect. Parasitic or load capacitance directly on the output will introduce additional phase shift in the loop degrading the loop phase margin and leading to frequency response peaking. A small series resistor before the capacitance effectively decouples this effect. The graphs on the preceding page illustrate the required resistor value and resulting performance vs. capacitance. Precision buffed resistors (PRP8351 series from Precision Resistive Products) with low parasitic reactances were used to develop the data sheet specifications. Precision carbon composition resistors will also yield excellent results. Standard spirally-trimmed RN55D metal film resistors will work with the slight decrease in bandwidth due to their reactive nature at high frequencies. Evaluation PC boards (part no. CLC730013 for through-hole and CLC730027 for SOIC) for the CLC401 are available. where AV is the desired non-inverting gain. Note that with AV = +20 we get the specified Rf = 1.5kΩ, while at higher gains, a lower value gives stable performance with improved bandwidth. 9 www.national.com CLC401 Selecting Between the CLC400 or CLC401 CLC401 Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted 8-Pin SOIC NS Package Number M08A 8-Pin MDIP NS Package Number N08E www.national.com 10 CLC401 Fast Settling, Wideband High Gain Monolithic Op Amp Notes LIFE SUPPORT POLICY NATIONAL’S PRODUCTS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN LIFE SUPPORT DEVICES OR SYSTEMS WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL COUNSEL OF NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION.
