500MHz Low Power Current Feedback Amplifier
The EL5462 is a current feedback amplifier with a bandwidth
of 500MHz which makes this amplifier ideal for today’s high
speed video and monitor applications.
With a supply current of just 1.5mA per amplifier and the
ability to run from a single supply voltage from 5V to 12V, the
EL5462 is also ideal for handheld, portable or batterypowered equipment.
The EL5462 is available in a 14-pin SO package and
operates over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to
+85°C.

Applications Information
Product Description
The EL5462 is a low power, current-feedback operational
amplifier that offers a wide -3dB bandwidth of 500MHz and a
low supply current of 1.5mA per amplifier. The EL5462
works with supply voltages ranging from a single 5V to 10V
and they are also capable of swinging to within 1V of either
supply on the output. Because of its current-feedback
topology, the EL5462 does not have the normal gainbandwidth product associated with voltage-feedback
operational amplifiers. Instead, its -3dB bandwidth to remain
relatively constant as closed-loop gain is increased. This
combination of high bandwidth and low power, together with
aggressive pricing makes the EL5462 the ideal choice for
many low-power/high-bandwidth applications such as
portable, handheld, or battery-powered equipment.
Power Supply Bypassing and Printed Circuit
Board Layout
As with any high frequency device, a good printed circuit
board layout is necessary for optimum performance. Low
impedance ground plane construction is essential. Surface
mount components are recommended, but if leaded
components are used, lead lengths should be as short as
possible. The power supply pins must be well bypassed to
reduce the risk of oscillation. The combination of a 4.7µF
tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.01µF capacitor has
been shown to work well when placed at each supply pin.
ground plane construction is used, it should be removed
from the area near the inverting input to minimize any stray
capacitance at that node. Carbon or Metal-Film resistors are
acceptable with the Metal-Film resistors giving slightly less
peaking and bandwidth because of additional series
inductance. Use of sockets, particularly for the SO package,
should be avoided if possible. Sockets add parasitic
inductance and capacitance which will result in additional
peaking and overshoot.
Capacitance at the Inverting Input
Any manufacturer’s high-speed voltage or current-feedback
amplifier can be affected by stray capacitance at the
inverting input. For inverting gains, this parasitic capacitance
has little effect because the inverting input is a virtual
ground, but for non-inverting gains, this capacitance (in
conjunction with the feedback and gain resistors) creates a
pole in the feedback path of the amplifier. This pole, if low
enough in frequency, has the same destabilizing effect as a
zero in the forward open-loop response. The use of largevalue feedback and gain resistors exacerbates the problem
by further lowering the pole frequency (increasing the
possibility of oscillation.)
The EL5462 has been optimized with a 600 feedback
resistor. With the high bandwidth of these amplifiers, these
resistor values might cause stability problems when
combined with parasitic capacitance, thus ground plane is
not recommended around the inverting input pin of the
amplifier.
For good AC performance, parasitic capacitance should be
kept to a minimum, especially at the inverting input. (See the
Capacitance at the Inverting Input section) Even when

EL5462
Feedback Resistor Values
The EL5462 has been designed and specified at a gain of +1
with RF approximately 606. This value of feedback resistor
gives 500MHz of -3dB bandwidth at AV = 1 with 0.5dB of
peaking. With AV = -2, an RF of approximately 600 gives
300MHz of bandwidth with 1dB of peaking. Since the EL5462
is a current-feedback amplifier, it is also possible to change the
value of RF to get more bandwidth. As seen in the curve of
Frequency Response for Various RF and RG, bandwidth and
peaking can be easily modified by varying the value of the
feedback resistor.
Because the EL5462 is a current-feedback amplifier, its gainbandwidth product is not a constant for different closed-loop
gains. This feature actually allows the EL5462 to maintain
about the same -3dB bandwidth. As gain is increased,
bandwidth decreases slightly while stability increases. Since
the loop stability is improving with higher closed-loop gains, it
becomes possible to reduce the value of RF below the
specified TBD and still retain stability, resulting in only a slight
loss of bandwidth with increased closed-loop gain.
Supply Voltage Range and Single-Supply Operation
The EL5462 has been designed to operate with supply
voltages having a span of greater than 5V and less than 10V.
In practical terms, this means that they will operate on dual
supplies ranging from ±2.5V to ±5V. With single-supply, the
EL5462 will operate from 5V to 10V.
As supply voltages continue to decrease, it becomes
necessary to provide input and output voltage ranges that can
get as close as possible to the supply voltages. The EL5462
has an input range which extends to within 2V of either supply.
So, for example, on +5V supplies, the EL5462 has an input
range which spans ±3V. The output range of the EL5462 is
also quite large, extending to within 1V of the supply rail. On a
±5V supply, the output is therefore capable of swinging from 4V to +4V. Single-supply output range is larger because of the
increased negative swing due to the external pull-down resistor
to ground.
Video Performance
For good video performance, an amplifier is required to
maintain the same output impedance and the same frequency
response as DC levels are changed at the output. This is
especially difficult when driving a standard video load of 150,
because of the change in output current with DC level.
Previously, good differential gain could only be achieved by
running high idle currents through the output transistors (to
reduce variations in output impedance.) These currents were
typically comparable to the entire 1mA supply current of the
EL5462 amplifier. Special circuitry has been incorporated in the
EL5462 to reduce the variation of output impedance with
current output. This results in dG and dP specifications of 0.1%
and 0.1°, while driving 150 at a gain of 2.
Video performance has also been measured with a 500 load
at a gain of +1. Under these conditions, the EL5462 has dG
and dP specifications of 0.1% and 0.1°.
Output Drive Capability
In spite of its low 1.5mA of supply current, the EL5462 is
capable of providing a minimum of ±50mA of output current.
With a minimum of ±50mA of output drive, the EL5462 is
capable of driving 50 loads to both rails, making it an
excellent choice for driving isolation transformers in
telecommunications applications.
Driving Cables and Capacitive Loads
When used as a cable driver, double termination is always
recommended for reflection-free performance. For those
applications, the back-termination series resistor will decouple
the EL5462 from the cable and allow extensive capacitive
drive. However, other applications may have high capacitive
loads without a back-termination resistor. In these applications,
a small series resistor (usually between 5 and 50) can be
placed in series with the output to eliminate most peaking. The
gain resistor (RG) can then be chosen to make up for any gain
loss which may be created by this additional resistor at the
output. In many cases it is also possible to simply increase the
value of the feedback resistor (RF) to reduce the peaking.
Current Limiting
The EL5462 has no internal current-limiting circuitry. If the
output is shorted, it is possible to exceed the Absolute
Maximum Rating for output current or power dissipation,
potentially resulting in the destruction of the device.
Power Dissipation
With the high output drive capability of the EL5462, it is
possible to exceed the 125°C Absolute Maximum junction
temperature under certain very high load current conditions.
Generally speaking when RL falls below about 25, it is
important to calculate the maximum junction temperature
(TJMAX) for the application to determine if power supply
voltages, load conditions, or package type need to be modified
for the EL5462 to remain in the safe operating area. These
parameters are calculated as follows:
T JMAX = T MAX + JA n PD MAX
where:
• TMAX = Maximum ambient temperature
• JA = Thermal resistance of the package
• n = Number of amplifiers in the package
• PDMAX = Maximum power dissipation of each amplifier in
the package
PDMAX for each amplifier can be calculated as follows:
