The LM7171 is a high speed voltage feedback
amplifier that has the slewing characteristic of a
current feedback amplifier; yet it can be used in all
traditional voltage feedback amplifier configurations.
The LM7171 is stable for gains as low as +2 or −1. It
provides a very high slew rate at 4100V/μs and a
wide unity-gain bandwidth of 200 MHz while
consuming only 6.5 mA of supply current. It is ideal
for video and high speed signal processing
applications such as HDSL and pulse amplifiers. With
100 mA output current, the LM7171 can be used for
video distribution, as a transformer driver or as a
laser diode driver.

Operation on ±15V power supplies allows for large
signal swings and provides greater dynamic range
and signal-to-noise ratio. The LM7171 offers low
SFDR and THD, ideal for ADC/DAC systems. In
addition, the LM7171 is specified for ±5V operation
for portable applications.
The LM7171 is built on Texas Instruments's
advanced VIP™ III (Vertically integrated PNP)
complementary bipolar process.

Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For specified specifications and test conditions, see the
Electrical Characteristics. The specified specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may
degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
Differential input voltage is applied at VS = ±15V.
The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJmax (maximum junction temperature),
θJA (package junction to ambient thermal resistance), and TA (ambient temperature). The maximum allowable power dissipation at any
temperature is PDmax = (TJmax - TA)/θJA or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower.
Applies to both single-supply and split-supply operation. Continuous short circuit operation at elevated ambient temperature can result in
exceeding the maximum allowed junction temperature of 150°C.
All numbers apply for packages soldered directly into a PC board.
The package material for these devices allows much improved heat transfer over our standard ceramic packages. In order to take full
advantage of this improved heat transfer, heat sinking must be provided between the package base (directly beneath the die), and either
metal traces on, or thermal vias through, the printed circuit board. Without this additional heat sinking, device power dissipation must be
calculated using θJA, rather than θJC, thermal resistance. It must not be assumed that the device leads will provide substantial heat
transfer out the package, since the thermal resistance of the leadframe material is very poor, relative to the material of the package
base. The stated θJC thermal resistance is for the package material only, and does not account for the additional thermal resistance
between the package base and the printed circuit board. The user must determine the value of the additional thermal resistance and
must combine this with the stated value for the package, to calculate the total allowed power dissipation for the device.

APPLICATION NOTES
LM7171 Performance Discussion
The LM7171 is a very high speed, voltage feedback amplifier. It consumes only 6.5 mA supply current while
providing a unity-gain bandwidth of 200 MHz and a slew rate of 4100V/μs. It also has other great features such
as low differential gain and phase and high output current.
The LM7171 is a true voltage feedback amplifier. Unlike current feedback amplifiers (CFAs) with a low inverting
input impedance and a high non-inverting input impedance, both inputs of voltage feedback amplifiers (VFAs)
have high impedance nodes. The low impedance inverting input in CFAs and a feedback capacitor create an
additional pole that will lead to instability. As a result, CFAs cannot be used in traditional op amp circuits such as
photodiode amplifiers, I-to-V converters and integrators where a feedback capacitor is required.
LM7171 Circuit Operation
The class AB input stage in the LM7171 is fully symmetrical and has a similar slewing characteristic to the
current feedback amplifiers. In the LM7171 Simplified Schematic, Q1 through Q4 form the equivalent of the
current feedback input buffer, RE the equivalent of the feedback resistor, and stage A buffers the inverting input.
The triple-buffered output stage isolates the gain stage from the load to provide low output impedance.
LM7171 Slew Rate Characteristic
The slew rate of the LM7171 is determined by the current available to charge and discharge an internal high
impedance node capacitor. This current is the differential input voltage divided by the total degeneration resistor
RE. Therefore, the slew rate is proportional to the input voltage level, and the higher slew rates are achievable in
the lower gain configurations. A curve of slew rate versus input voltage level is provided in the “Typical
Performance Characteristics”.
When a very fast large signal pulse is applied to the input of an amplifier, some overshoot or undershoot occurs.
By placing an external resistor such as 1 kΩ in series with the input of the LM7171, the bandwidth is reduced to
help lower the overshoot.
Slew Rate Limitation
If the amplifier's input signal has too large of an amplitude at too high of a frequency, the amplifier is said to be
slew rate limited; this can cause ringing in time domain and peaking in frequency domain at the output of the
amplifier.
In the Typical Performance Characteristics section, there are several curves of AV = +2 and AV = +4 versus input
signal levels. For the AV = +4 curves, no peaking is present and the LM7171 responds identically to the different
input signal levels of 30 mV, 100 mV and 300 mV.
For the AV = +2 curves, slight peaking occurs. This peaking at high frequency (>100 MHz) is caused by a large
input signal at high enough frequency that exceeds the amplifier's slew rate. The peaking in frequency response
does not limit the pulse response in time domain, and the LM7171 is stable with noise gain of ≥+2.
Layout Consideration
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS AND HIGH SPEED OP AMPS
There are many things to consider when designing PC boards for high speed op amps. Without proper caution, it
is very easy to have excessive ringing, oscillation and other degraded AC performance in high speed circuits. As
a rule, the signal traces should be short and wide to provide low inductance and low impedance paths. Any
unused board space needs to be grounded to reduce stray signal pickup. Critical components should also be
grounded at a common point to eliminate voltage drop. Sockets add capacitance to the board and can affect high
frequency performance. It is better to solder the amplifier directly into the PC board without using any socket.
USING PROBES
Active (FET) probes are ideal for taking high frequency measurements because they have wide bandwidth, high
input impedance and low input capacitance. However, the probe ground leads provide a long ground loop that
will produce errors in measurement. Instead, the probes can be grounded directly by removing the ground leads
and probe jackets and using scope probe jacks.

COMPONENT SELECTION AND FEEDBACK RESISTOR
It is important in high speed applications to keep all component leads short. For discrete components, choose
carbon composition-type resistors and mica-type capacitors. Surface mount components are preferred over
discrete components for minimum inductive effect.
Large values of feedback resistors can couple with parasitic capacitance and cause undesirable effects such as
ringing or oscillation in high speed amplifiers. For the LM7171, a feedback resistor of 510Ω gives optimal
performance.
Compensation for Input
Capacitance
The combination of an amplifier's input capacitance with the gain setting resistors, adds a pole that can cause
peaking or oscillation. To solve this problem, a feedback capacitor with a value
CF > (RG × CIN)/RF
(1)
can be used to cancel that pole. For the LM7171, a feedback capacitor of 2 pF is recommended. Figure 56
illustrates the compensation circuit.
Figure 56. Compensating for Input Capacitance
Power Supply Bypassing
Bypassing the power supply is necessary to maintain low power supply impedance across frequency. Both
positive and negative power supplies should be bypassed individually by placing 0.01 μF ceramic capacitors
directly to power supply pins and 2.2 μF tantalum capacitors close to the power supply pins.
Figure 57. Power Supply Bypassing
Termination
In high frequency applications, reflections occur if signals are not properly terminated. Figure 58 shows a
properly terminated signal while Figure 59 shows an improperly terminated signal.

Figure 59. Improperly Terminated Signal
To minimize reflection, coaxial cable with matching characteristic impedance to the signal source should be
used. The other end of the cable should be terminated with the same value terminator or resistor. For the
commonly used cables, RG59 has 75Ω characteristic impedance, and RG58 has 50Ω characteristic impedance.
Driving Capacitive Loads
Amplifiers driving capacitive loads can oscillate or have ringing at the output. To eliminate oscillation or reduce
ringing, an isolation resistor can be placed as shown below in Figure 60. The combination of the isolation resistor
and the load capacitor forms a pole to increase stability by adding more phase margin to the overall system. The
desired performance depends on the value of the isolation resistor; the bigger the isolation resistor, the more
damped the pulse response becomes. For LM7171, a 50Ω isolation resistor is recommended for initial
evaluation. Figure 61 shows the LM7171 driving a 150 pF load with the 50Ω isolation resistor.

Power Dissipation
The maximum power allowed to dissipate in a device is defined as:
PD = (TJ(max) − TA)/θJA
(2)
Where
PD is the power dissipation in a device
TJ(max) is the maximum junction temperature
TA is the ambient temperature
θJA is the thermal resistance of a particular package
For example, for the LM7171 in a CFP package, the maximum power dissipation at 25°C ambient temperature is
680 mW.
Thermal resistance, θJA, depends on parameters such as die size, package size and package material. The
smaller the die size and package, the higher θJA becomes. The 8-pin CDIP package has a lower thermal
resistance (106°C/W) than that of the CFP (182°C/W). Therefore, for higher dissipation capability, use an 8-pin
CDIP package.
The total power dissipated in a device can be calculated as:
PD = PQ + PL
(3)
PQ is the quiescent power dissipated in a device with no load connected at the output. PL is the power dissipated
in the device with a load connected at the output; it is not the power dissipated by the load.
Furthermore,
PQ:
PL:
= supply current × total supply voltage with no load
= output current × (voltage difference between supply voltage and output voltage of the same side of
supply voltage)
For example, the total power dissipated by the LM7171 with VS = ±15V and output voltage of 10V into 1 kΩ is
PD = PQ + PL
= (6.5 mA) × (30V) + (10 mA) × (15V − 10V)
= 195 mW + 50 mW
= 245 mW
