The extremely rapid settling time of the AD840 makes it the preferred choice for data acquisition applications which require 12-bit accuracy. The AD840 is also appropriate for other applications such as high speed DAC and ADC buffer amplifiers and other wide bandwidth circuitry. APPLICATION HIGHLIGHTS PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The AD840 is a member of the Analog Devices’ family of wide bandwidth operational amplifiers. This high speed/high precision family includes, among others, the AD841, which is unitygain stable, and the AD842, which is stable at a gain of two or greater and has 100 mA minimum output current drive. These devices are fabricated using Analog Devices’ junction isolated complementary bipolar (CB) process. This process permits a combination of dc precision and wideband ac performance previously unobtainable in a monolithic op amp. In addition to its 400 MHz gain bandwidth product, the AD840 offers extremely fast settling characteristics, typically settling to within 0.01% of final value in 100 ns for a 10 volt step. The AD840 remains stable over its full operating temperature range at closed-loop gains of 10 or greater. It also offers a low quiescent current of 12 mA maximum, a minimum output current drive capability of 50 mA, a low input voltage noise of 4 nV/√Hz and a low input offset voltage of 0.3 mV maximum (AD840K). The 400 V/µs slew rate of the AD840, along with its 400 MHz gain bandwidth, ensures excellent performance in video and pulse amplifier applications. This amplifier is ideally suited for use in high frequency signal conditioning circuits and wide R EV. C Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

The high slew rate and fast settling time of the AD840 make it ideal for DAC and ADC buffers, line drivers and all types of video instrumentation circuitry. 2. The AD840 is truly a precision amplifier. It offers 12-bit accuracy to 0.01% or better and wide bandwidth, performance previously available only in hybrids. 3. The AD840’s thermally balanced layout and the high speed of the CB process allow the AD840 to settle to 0.01% in 100 ns without the long “tails” that occur with other fast op amps. 4. Laser wafer trimming reduces the input offset voltage to 0.3 mV max on the K grade, thus eliminating the need for external offset nulling in many applications. Offset null pins are provided for additional versatility. 5. Full differential inputs provide outstanding performance in all standard high frequency op amp applications where circuit gain will be 10 or greater. 6. The AD840 is an enhanced replacement for the HA2540. One Technology Way, P.O. Box 9106, Norwood, MA 02062-9106, U.S.A.

Settling time is defined as: The interval of time from the application of an ideal step function input until the closed-loop amplifier output has entered and remains within a specified error band. This definition encompasses the major components which comprise settling time. They include (1) propagation delay through the amplifier; (2) slewing time to approach the final output value; (3) the time of recovery from the overload associated with slewing; and (4) linear settling to within the specified error band. Expressed in these terms, the measurement of settling time is obviously a challenge and needs to be done accurately to assure the user that the amplifier is worth consideration for the application. Figure 24 shows the “long-term” stability of the settling characteristics of the AD840 output after a 10 V step. There is no evidence of settling tails after the initial transient recovery time. The use of a junction isolated process, together with careful layout, avoids these problems by minimizing the effects of transistor isolation capacitance discharge and thermally induced shifts in circuit operating points. These problems do not occur even under high output current conditions. Figure 24. AD840 Settling Demonstrating No Settling Tails GROUNDING AND BYPASSING Figure 22. AD840 0.01% Settling Time TEK 7A13 TEK 7A18 In designing practical circuits with the AD840, the user must remember that whenever high frequencies are involved, some special precautions are in order. Circuits must be built with short interconnect leads. Large ground planes should be used whenever possible to provide a low resistance, low inductance circuit path, as well as minimizing the effects of high frequency coupling. Sockets should be avoided, because the increased inter-lead capacitance can degrade bandwidth. Feedback resistors should be of low enough value to assure that the time constant formed with the circuit capacitances will not limit the amplifier performance. Resistor values of less than 5 kΩ are recommended. If a larger resistor must be used, a small (± 10 pF) feedback capacitor in connected parallel with the feedback resistor, RF, may be used to compensate for these stray capacitances and optimize the dynamic performance of the amplifier in the particular application. Power supply leads should be bypassed to ground as close as possible to the amplifier pins. A 2.2 µF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 µF ceramic disk capacitor is recommended.

Settling Time Test Circuit Figure 23 shows how measurement of the AD840’s 0.01% settling in 100 ns was accomplished by amplifying the error signal from a false summing junction with a very high speed proprietary hybrid error amplifier specially designed to enable testing of small settling errors. The device under test was driving a 420 Ω load. The input to the error amp is clamped in order to avoid possible problems associated with the overdrive recovery of the oscilloscope input amplifier. The error amp amplifies the error from the false summing junction by 11, and it contains a gain vernier to fine trim the gain. Like all wideband amplifiers, the AD840 is sensitive to capacitive loading. The AD840 is designed to drive capacitive loads of up to 20 pF without degradation of its rated performance. Capacitive loads of greater than 20 pF will decrease the dynamic performance of the part although instability should not occur unless the load exceeds 100 pF. A resistor in series with the output can be used to decouple larger capacitive loads. USING A HEAT SINK The AD840 draws less quiescent power than most high speed amplifiers and is specified for operation without a heat sink. However, when driving low impedance loads the current to the load can be 4 to 5 times the quiescent current. This will create a noticeable temperature rise. Improved performance can be achieved by using a small heat sink such as the Aavid Engineering #602B. –7– REV. C AD840 HIGH SPEED DAC BUFFER CIRCUIT OVERDRIVE RECOVERY Figure 26.

C PRINTED IN U.S.A. C1176a–5–11/90 The AD840’s 100 ns settling time to 0.01% for a 10 V step makes it well suited as an output buffer for high speed D/A converters. Figure 25 shows the connections for producing a 0 to +10.24 V output swing from the AD568 35 ns DAC. With the AD568 in unbuffered voltage output mode, the AD840 is placed in noninverting configuration. As a result of the 1 kΩ span resistor provided internally in the AD568, the noise gain of this topology is 10. Only 5 pF is required across the feedback (span) resistor to optimize settling. Figure 26 shows the overdrive recovery capability of the AD840. Typical recovery time is 190 ns from negative overdrive and 350 ns from positive overdrive.
