General Description
The KH300 operational amplifier is a current feedback amplifier that provides a DC-85MHz -3dB bandwidth that is virtually independent of gain setting. Rise and fall times of 4ns and drive capability of 22Vpp and 100mA add to the KH300’s impressive specifications. Using the KH300 is as easy as adding power supplies and a gain-setting resistor. Unlike conventional op amp designs in which optimum gain-bandwidth product occurs at a high gain, minimum settling time at a gain of -1, maximum slew rate at a gain of +1, et cetera, the KH300 offers consistent performance at gain settings from 1 to 40 inverting or non-inverting. As a result, designing with the KH300 is greatly simplified. And since no external compensation is necessary, “tweeks” on the production line have been eliminated, making the KH300 an efficient component for use in production situations. Flat gain and phase response from DC to 45MHz and superior rise and fall times make the KH300 an ideal amplifier for a broad range of pulse, analog, and digital applications. A 45MHz full power bandwidth (20Vpp into 100Ω) and 3000V/µsec slew rate eliminate the need for power buffers in many applications such as driving “flash” A to D converters or linedriving. For applications requiring lower power consumption, the KH300 can operate on supplies as low as ±5V. Fast overload recovery (20ns) helps prevent loss of data in communications applications and flat phase response reduces distortion, even when data must be sent over extended lengths of line. The KH300A is packaged in a side-brazed 24-pin ceramic DIP and is specified at 25°C.

Layout Considerations To assure optimum performance the user should follow good layout practices which minimize the unwanted coupling of signals between nodes. During initial breadboarding of the circuit, use direct point to point wiring, keeping lead lengths to less than 0.25”. The use of solid, unbroken ground plane is helpful. Avoid wire-wrap type pc boards and methods. Sockets with small, short pin receptacles may be used with minimal performance degradation although their use is not recommended.

and 16. Larger tantalum capacitors should also be placed within one inch of these pins. To prevent signal distortion caused by reflections from impedance mismatches, use terminated microstrip or coaxial cable when the signal must traverse more than a few inches. Since the pc board forms such an important part of the circuit, much time can be saved if prototype boards of any high frequency sections are built and tested early in the design phase. Controlling Bandwidth and Passband Response As with any op amp, the ratio of the two feedback resistors Rf and Rg, determines the gain of the KH300. Unlike conventional op amps, however, the closed loop polezero response of the KH300 is affected very little by the value of Rg. Rg scales the magnitude of the gain, but does not change the value of the feedback. Rf does influence the feedback and so the KH300 has been internally compensated for optimum performance with Rf = 1500Ω, but any value of Rf > 500Ω may be used with a single capacitor placed between pins 8 and 12 for compensation. See table 1. As Rf decreases, Cc must increase to maintain flat gain. Large values of Rf and Cc can be used together or separately to reduce the bandwidth. This may be desirable for reducing the noise bandwidth in applications not requiring the full frequency response available. Table 1: Bandwidth vs. Rf and Cc (Av = +20)

Figure 2: Recommended Inverting Gain Circuit During pc board layout keep all traces short and direct. Rf and Rg should be as close as possible to pin 8 to minimize capacitance at that point. For the same reason, remove ground plane from the vicinity of pins 8 and 6. In other areas, use as much ground plane as possible on one side of the pc board. It is especially important to provide a ground return path for current from the load resistor to the power supply bypass capacitors. Ceramic capacitors of 0.01 to 0.1µF should be close to pins 13
Low Gain Operation The small amount of stray capacitance present at the inverting input can cause peaking which increases with decreasing gain. The gain setting resistor Rg is effectively in parallel with this capacitance and so a frequency domain pole results. With small Rg (Gain > 8), this pole is at a high frequency and it affects the closed loop gain of the KH300 only slightly. At lower values of gain, this pole becomes significant. For example, at a gain of +2, the gain may peak as much as 3dB at 75MHz, and have a bandwidth exceeding 150MHz. The same behavior does not exist for low inverting gains, however, since the inverting input is a virtual ground which maintains a constant voltage across the stray capacitance. Even at inverting gains
