The AD844 is a high speed monolithic operational amplifier fabricated using Analog Devices’ junction isolated complementary bipolar (CB) process. It combines high bandwidth and very fast large signal response with excellent dc performance. Although optimized for use in current to voltage applications and as an inverting mode amplifier, it is also suitable for use in many noninverting applications. The AD844 can be used in place of traditional op amps, but its current feedback architecture results in much better ac performance, high linearity and an exceptionally clean pulse response. This type of op amp provides a closed-loop bandwidth which is determined primarily by the feedback resistor and is almost independent of the closed-loop gain. The AD844 is free from the slew rate limitations inherent in traditional op amps and other current-feedback op amps. Peak output rate of change can be over 2000 V/µs for a full 20 V output step. Settling time is typically 100 ns to 0.1%, and essentially independent of gain. The AD844 can drive 50 Ω loads to ± 2.5 V with low distortion and is short circuit protected to 80 mA. The AD844 is available in four performance grades and three package options. In the 16-pin SOIC (R) package, the AD844J is specified for the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The AD844A and AD844B are specified for the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C and are available in the cerdip (Q) package. The AD844A is also available in an 8-pin plastic mini-DIP (N). The AD844S is specified over the military temperature range of –55°C to +125°C. It is available in the 8-pin cerdip (Q) package. “A” and “S” grade chips and devices processed to MIL-STD-883B, REV. C are also available. R EV. C

AD844
UNDERSTANDING THE AD844
The AD844 can be used in ways similar to a conventional op amp while providing performance advantages in wideband applications. However, there are important differences in the internal structure which need to be understood in order to optimize the performance of the AD844 op amp.
Open Loop Behavior
The closed loop transresistance is simply the parallel sum of R1 and Rt. Since R1 will generally be in the range 500 Ω to 2 kΩ and Rt is about 3 MΩ the closed loop transresistance will be only 0.02% to 0.07% lower than R1. This small error will often be less than the resistor tolerance. When R1 is fairly large (above 5 kΩ) but still much less than Rt, the closed loop HF response is dominated by the time constant R1Ct. Under such conditions the AD844 is over-damped and will provide only a fraction of its bandwidth potential. Because of the absence of slew rate limitations under these conditions, the circuit will exhibit a simple single pole response even under large signal conditions. In Figure 26, R3 is used to properly terminate the input if desired. R3 in parallel with R2 gives the terminated resistance. As R1 is lowered, the signal bandwidth increases, but the time constant R1Ct becomes comparable to higher order poles in the closed loop response. Therefore, the closed loop response becomes complex, and the pulse response shows overshoot. When R2 is much larger than the input resistance, RIN, at Pin 2, most of the feedback current in R1 is delivered to this input; but as R2 becomes comparable to RIN, less of the feedback is absorbed at Pin 2, resulting in a more heavily damped response. Consequently, for low values of R2 it is possible to lower R1 without causing instability in the closed loop response. Table I lists combinations of R1 and R2 and the resulting frequency response for the circuit of Figure 26. Figure 13 shows the very clean and fast ± 10 V pulse response of the AD844.
Figure 25 shows a current feedback amplifier reduced to essentials. Sources of fixed dc errors such as the inverting node bias current and the offset voltage are excluded from this model and are discussed later. The most important parameter limiting the dc gain is the transresistance, Rt, which is ideally infinite. A finite value of Rt is analogous to the finite open loop voltage gain in a conventional op amp. The current applied to the inverting input node is replicated by the current conveyor so as to flow in resistor Rt. The voltage developed across Rt is buffered by the unity gain voltage follower. Voltage gain is the ratio Rt/ RIN. With typical values of Rt = 3 MΩ and RIN = 50 Ω, the voltage gain is about 60,000. The open loop current gain is another measure of gain and is determined by the beta product of the transistors in the voltage follower stage (see Figure 28); it is typically 40,000.
Figure 25. Equivalent Schematic
The important parameters defining ac behavior are the transcapacitance, Ct, and the external feedback resistor (not shown). The time constant formed by these components is analogous to the dominant pole of a conventional op amp, and thus cannot be reduced below a critical value if the closed loop system is to be stable. In practice, Ct is held to as low a value as possible (typically 4.5 pF) so that the feedback resistor can be maximized while maintaining a fast response. The finite RIN also affects the closed loop response in some applications as will be shown. The open loop ac gain is also best understood in terms of the transimpedance rather than as an open loop voltage gain. The open loop pole is formed by Rt in parallel with Ct. Since Ct is typically 4.5 pF, the open loop corner frequency occurs at about 12 kHz. However, this parameter is of little value in determining the closed loop response.
Response as an Inverting Amplifier
Figure 26. Inverting Amplifier
Table I. Gain R1 R2 BW (MHz) GBW (MHz)
Figure 26 shows the connections for an inverting amplifier. Unlike a conventional amplifier the transient response and the small signal bandwidth are determined primarily by the value of the external feedback resistor, R1, rather than by the ratio of R1/R2 as is customarily the case in an op amp application. This is a direct result of the low impedance at the inverting input. As with conventional op amps, the closed loop gain is –R1/R2.

AD844
Response as an I-V Converter
The AD844 works well as the active element in an operational current to voltage converter, used in conjunction with an external scaling resistor, R1, in Figure 27. This analysis includes the stray capacitance, CS, of the current source, which might be a high speed DAC. Using a conventional op amp, this capacitance forms a “nuisance pole” with R1 which destabilizes the closed loop response of the system. Most op amps are internally compensated for the fastest response at unity gain, so the pole due to R1 and CS reduces the already narrow phase margin of the system. For example, if R1 were 2.5 kΩ a CS of 15 pF would place this pole at a frequency of about 4 MHz, well within the response range of even a medium speed operational amplifier. In a current feedback amp this nuisance pole is no longer determined by R1 but by the input resistance, RIN. Since this is about 50 Ω for the AD844, the same 15 pF forms a pole 212 MHz and causes little trouble. It can be shown that the response of this system is:
VOUT = – Isig K R1 (1 + sTd )(1 + sTn )
age, ensured by the close matching of like polarity transistors operating under essentially identical bias conditions. Laser trimming nulls the residual offset voltage, down to a few tens of microvolts. The inverting input is the common emitter node of a complementary pair of grounded base stages and behaves as a current summing node. In an ideal current feedback op amp the input resistance would be zero. In the AD844 it is about 50 Ω.
where K is a factor very close to unity and represents the finite dc gain of the amplifier, Td is the dominant pole and Tn is the nuisance pole: K= Rt Rt + R1 (assuming RIN
