1 Chapter 2 CFOAs: Merits, Demerits, Basic Circuits and Available Varieties 2.1 Introduction Current feedback op-amps (CFOA) started attracting attention of the analog circuit designers and researchers when it was realied that one can design amplifiers ehibiting a characteristic which was the most significant departure from the characteristics ehibited b well-known VOA-based realiations in that CFOAbased circuits could realie variable-gain and et constant bandwidth, as against the unavoidable gain-band-width-conflict in case of the VOA-based designs (as eplained in Chap. 1). Furthermore, it was recognied that due to much higher slew rates of the order of several hundred to several thousand V/μs (which can be as large as 9,000 V/μs for modern CFOAs), as compared to a ver modest 0.5 V/μs for the general purpose and most popular μa741-tpe VOA, CFOAs could lead to circuits capable of operating over much wider frequenc ranges than those possible with VOAs. In this chapter, we focus on the merits and demerits of CFOAs; discuss the various basic analog circuits realiable with CFOAs and highlight a variet of commerciall available IC CFOAs from the various leading IC manufacturers. 2.2 AD844: The CFOA with Eternall-Accessible Compensation Pin Although in view of the popularit of the CFOAs the have been manufactured as integrated circuits b a number of IC manufacturers, there are two varieties which are in use. There are CFOAs which are pin-compatible to VOAs and do not have eternall accessible compensation pin. On the other hand, AD 844-tpe CFOA from Analog Devices [1] has the option that its compensation pin (number 5) is eternall-accessible while still maintaining pin-capabilit with VOAs. R.

The AD844 from Analog Devices is a high speed monolithic (current feedback) op-amp which has been fabricated using junction- isolated complementar bipolar (CB) process. It has high bandwidth (around 60 MH at gain of 1 and around 33 MH at gain of 10) and provides ver fast large signal response with ecellent DC performance. It has ver high slew rate, tpicall, 2,000 V/μs. Although it is optimied for use in current to voltage conversion applications and as inverting amplifier, it is also suitable for use in man non-inverting and other applications. Tpical applications recommended b the manufacturers include Flash ADC input amplifiers, High speed current DAC interfaces, Video buffers and cable drivers and pulse amplifiers. The AD844 can be used for replacement of traditional VOAs but due to its current feedback architecture results in much better AC performance, high linearit and ecellent pulse response. The off-set voltage and input bias currents of the AD844 are laser- trimmed to minimie DC errors such that drift in the offset voltage is tpicall 1 μv/ C and bias current drift is around 9 na/ C. AD844 is particularl suitable for video applications and as an input amplifier for flash tpe analog-todigital convertors (ADC). A simplified schematic of the AD844 CFOA [1] is shown in Fig It is interesting to point out that due to AD844 being sold, disguised as a large bandwidth, high slew-rate op-amp, initiall it almost got unnoticed that its internal architecture, is, in fact, a translinear second generation plus tpe Current Conveor 1 1 The Current Conveors were introduced as new circuit building blocks b Sedra and Smith in [2, 3]; the first generation Current Conveor (CCI) in [2] and the more versatile, the second generation Current Conveor (CCII) in[3].
3 2.2 AD844: The CFOA with Eternall-Accessible Compensation Pin 27 Fig. 2.2 A block diagram of the internal architecture of CFOA AD844 CCII+ 1 i i Z (CCII+) followed b a (translinear) voltage buffer. Its simplified smbolic diagram showing this identification is shown in Fig Since the internal architecture of AD844 consists of a CCII + followed b a voltage buffer, this fleibilit was later found to be useful in allowing the AD844 to be used as a CCII + and CCII (using two CCII+), as pin-b-pin replacement of a VOA (with Z-pin left open) and lastl, as a 4-terminal building block in its own right. In view of its front end being a CCII + and the back end being a voltage follower, the terminal equations of the CFOA can be written as i ¼ 0; v ¼ v ; i ¼ i and v w ¼ v (2.1) In the internal architecture of the CFOA, transistors Q 1 Q 4 are configured as a mied translinear cell (MTC) while the collector currents of transistors Q 2 and Q 3 are sensed b two modified p-n-p and n-p-n ilson Current Mirrors consisting of transistors Q 5 Q 8 and Q 9 Q 12 respectivel to create a replica of current i at the terminal- Z thereb ielding i ¼ i. The two constant current sources, each equal to I B, force equal emitter currents in transistors Q 1 and Q 4 thereb forcing input current i ¼ 0 when a voltage V is applied at the input terminal. It can be easil proved that with i ¼ 0, V ¼ V and the Z-port current i will be ero. However, for the case of i 6¼ 0, an eact analsis [4] of the circuit using eponential relations between collector currents and base-emitter voltages for the transistors Q 1 Q 4 ields I ¼ I ¼ 2I B Sinh V V V T (2.2) from which an approimate relation between V,V and r (for I <<2I B ) can be epressed as follows V ffi V þ r i where r ¼ V T 2I B (2.3) If terminal-z is terminated into an eternal impedance/load Z L, a voltage V is created which passes through the voltage follower made from another MTC

The last stage is characteried b an equation similar to (2.3) which provides V w ffi V. 2.3 The Merits and the Advantageous Features of the CFOAs Two major merits and advantageous features of the CFOAs are (1) its ver high (theoreticall infinite) slew rate and (2) its capabilit of realiing amplifiers ehibiting gain-bandwidth decoupling. In the following, we elaborate these two characteristics of the CFOAs The Reason and the Origin of the High Slew Rate In this sub-section we eplain the origin and the reason for a ver high slew rate of CFOAs as compared to conventional op-amps [5]. Figure 2.3a shows a simplified schematic of an internall compensated tpe IC op-amp ehibiting the differential transconductance stage consisting of transistors Q 1 -Q 2 -Q 3 -Q 4, the intermediate gain stage (normall made from a cascade of CC-CE stages) having an inverting gain A v2 and the output stage which is a class AB tpe push-pull amplifier having both complementar transistors in emitter follower mode providing a voltage gain A v3 close to unit. A straight forward analsis of the first stage reveals that the output current I out is given b V id I out ¼ I B tanh (2.4) 2V T A graphical representation of the above equation is shown in Fig. 2.3b. From this characteristic, it is seen that the output current i o saturates to + I B when V id is large and positive while i o saturates to I B when V id is large and negative. Thus, the maimum current available to charge the compensating capacitor C c,is I B. If such an op-amp is configured as a voltage follower b a feedback connection from V out to the inverting input terminal of the op-amp and a large step signal is applied to the non-inverting input terminal at t ¼ 0. This forces the transistor Q 1 into saturation and Q 2 into cut off due to which I out ¼ I B and thus, the capacitor C c is charged linearl through constant current I B. In view of the high gain of the intermediate stage, for simplicit, its input node can be treated to be at virtual ground potential in which case one can write I out ¼ C c dv out dt (2.5)

(b) The tanhcharacteristics of the input differential transconductance stage Hence, the slew-rate (SR) is given b SR ¼ dv out dt ¼ I out ¼ I B (2.6) ma C c C c ith C c ¼ 30 pf and I B ¼ 19 μa (as applicable to a μa741 tpe op-amp biased with 15 V DC power supplies), the above figure turns out to be around 0.63 V/μ s which is close to the data sheet value of 0.5 V/μs. For a sinusoidal output ¼ V m sin ωt, it can be shown that the maimum frequenc ω ma, for which the limitation imposed b the finite slew rate will not come into pla, is given b ω ma ¼ SR V m (2.7) Consider now a simplified schematic of the CFOA shown in Fig. 2.4a.

(b) The transfer characteristic between i o and (V V ) transistors Q 1 Q 4 shows that the current output coming out of Z- terminal (which charges the compensating capacitor) is given b I out ¼ 2I B Sinh V V V T (2.8) A plot of the resulting transfer characteristic is shown in Fig. 2.4b. Thus, in this case, it is found that for a large differential input voltage (V V ), the output current which is the charging current of the compensating capacitor would be theoreticall infinite. Thus, in contrast to VOAs, CFOAs have ideall infinite slew rate. In practice, slew rates from several hundred V/μs to as high as 9,000 V/μs are attainable. Consequentl, a CFOA implementation of a circuit will not have the same kind of limitations on the maimum operational frequenc range as prevalent in the corresponding VOA-based circuit. In other words, a CFOA-based circuit would operate satisfactoril over a frequenc range much larger than possible for a VOA circuit realiing the same function De-coupling of Gain and Bandwidth: Realisabilit of Variable-Gain, Constant-Bandwidth Amplifiers It has been eplained in the previous chapter that all VOA-based controlled sources suffer from the drawback of gain- bandwidth-conflict. An important advantage of emploing CFOAs is that this gain bandwidth conflict can be overcome due to the current feedback prevalent in the same configurations realied with CFOAs
7 2.4 The Demerits and Limitations of CFOAs 31 Fig. 2.5 The non-inverting amplifier using a CFOA w V o (Interestingl, we will see that even two alternative was of realiing VCVS from CFOAs are also free from the gain-bandwidth-conflict). Consider now the CFOA-based non-inverting amplifier of Fig From an analsis of this circuit, taking CFOA characteriation as i ¼ 0; v ¼ v ; i ¼ i and v w ¼ v ¼ i Z p where Z p is the parasitic impedance looking into the Z-terminal and consists of a resistance R p (tpicall, around 3 MΩ)inparallelwitha capacitance C p (tpicall in the range pf), the maimum gain of the circuit is found to be ¼ 1 þ (2.9) 1 þ R p whereas the 3 db bandwidth is given b ω 3 db ¼ 1 1 þ R 2 ffi 1 ; C p R p C p for << R p (2.10) It is, thus, seen that the bandwidth of the circuit can be fied b setting the feedback resistor while the gain can be still varied through the variable resistor and therefore, the gain and bandwidth have become de-coupled and it has become possible to realie a constant-bandwidth, variable gain amplifier. 2.4 The Demerits and Limitations of CFOAs Demerits Despite its significant advantages over traditional VOAs, as eplained in previous section, CFOAs generall have the following demerits: Relativel inferior DC precision. Relativel poor DC offset voltage due to the use of both PNP and NPN transistors.
8 32 2 CFOAs: Merits, Demerits, Basic Circuits and Available Varieties Lower CMRR and PSRR than VOAs due to the unsmmetrical complimentar-pair input stage and unequal and un-correlated input bias currents. A detailed analsis of the input DC current, input offset voltage and maimum input voltage range for the input stage of a CFOA is given in [6] while a comprehensive analsis of output stage has been dealt in [7] Difficulties with Capacitive Feedback It should be kept in mind in devising CFOA-based circuits that a capacitive feedback between and is not recommended as it often leads to instabilit. Therefore, an inverting Miller integrator cannot be realied with a CFOA in the same wa as the conventional op-amp-based Miller integrator Effect of Stra Capacitances and Laout Issues Another important practical consideration to be taken care of is to take care of the stra capacitances on the inverting input node (-input) and across the feedback resistor which invariabl lead to peaking or ringing in the output response and sometimes even to oscillations. In view of this, appropriate care has to be taken in making an appropriate PCB laout and eliminate an stra capacitances. The performance of a CFOA-based circuit can be improved considerabl with a good laout, good decoupling capacitors and low inductance wiring of the components. 2.5 Basic Circuits Using CFOAs e now show how a number of basic analog circuits such as the four controlled sources, the voltage and current followers, the instrumentation amplifier and the integrators and differentiators can be realied in a number of advantageous was using CFOAs sans the disadvantages associated with VOA-based realiations of the same functions VCVS Configurations Consider now the various other VCVS realiations depicted in Fig. 2.6a c.

Thus, in all the cases, the bandwidth can be set b the feedback resistor after which the gain can still be made variable through a single variable resistance. Thus, the gain bandwidth conflict is not present in an of the four circuits. It is, therefore, possible to design constant-bandwidth variable-gain amplifiers using CFOAs which unfortunatel cannot be done with the same topologies such as those of Figs. 2.5 and 2.6a realied with a traditional VOA. However, it must be kept in mind that, in practice, constant bandwidth is achievable onl for low to medium gains (tpicall, 1 10). Furthermore, the feedback resistor also cannot be chosen arbitraril since this criticall affects

In fact, the CFOA parameters r (tpicall, around 50 Ω) and Z-pin parasitics R p 1 sc p (where R p ¼ 3MΩ; C p ¼ 4.5 pf) with the feedback resistance decide the stabilit of the non-inverting and inverting amplifiers using CFOAs (if realied with CFOAs configured eactl similar to their VOA-counterparts). The manufacturer determines the optimum value of the feedback resistor during the characteriation of the IC. Normall, lowering decreases stabilit whereas increasing decreases the bandwidth Instrumentation Amplifier Using CFOAs e now show that, contrar to the traditional instrumentation amplifier which requires three VOAs and as man as seven resistors out of which four are required to be completel matched, the use of CFOAs makes it possible to realie a variable gain instrumentation amplifier with no more than two CFOAs along with a minimum number of onl two resistors. Such a circuit is readil evolved from a known CCII-based circuit proposed b ilson [8] and is shown here in Fig Considering the finite input resistance looking into terminal- of the CFOA as r and taking parasitic output impedance looking into terminal-z as a resistance R P in parallel with capacitance C P, the maimum gain of this circuit is found to be: V 1 V 2 ¼ (2.14) ð þ 2r Þ 1 þ whereas its 3-dB bandwidth is given b the some epression as in (2.10). Thus, it is seen that the bandwidth of the amplifier can be fied at a constant value b fiing while the gain can be made variable b changing. Thus, CFOA-based instrumentation amplifier also does not have the gain-bandwidth-conflict while emploing a minimum possible number of passive components for realiing a variable gain. R p

It ma be noted that contrar to VOA-based circuits for VCCS and CCCS requiring as man as four identical resistors the corresponding realiations using CFOAs as in Fig. 2.8a c emplo a minimum possible number of passive components namel onl one in case of Fig. 2.8a, b and two in case of Fig. 2.8c respectivel thus, no component matching whatsoever is needed. Furthermore, it is straight forward to verif that all these circuits possess the most notable propert of CFOA-based circuits i.e. no gain-bandwidth-conflict in the realiation of an controlled sources.

In the first case since between terminals and there is alread a voltage follower inside the chip, the same voltage buffer can be used as a voltage follower. In the second case, a slightl modified version from [9] is presented which contains a feedback resistor R F for the self-compensation of the voltage follower. A non-ideal analsis of the voltage follower of Fig. 2.9b considering the -port input resistance r and Z-port parasitic impedance consisting of a resistance R p in parallel with a capacitance C p, reveals the following non-ideal gain function for this circuit ¼ 1 þ R F R p 1 þ r þr F R p 1 þ sc p R p ==R F 1 þ sc p ðr p == ðr þ R F ÞÞ (2.15) If R F >>r, it is seen that a pole-ero cancellation would take place and the resulting voltage gain will be close to unit and will be perfectl compensated for. It is found that for a voltage follower made from AD844-tpe CFOA, the circuit works quite well with R F ¼ 2kΩ [9]. The two possible realiations for unit gain current follower are shown in Fig As epected, none of the two circuits requires an resistors and both the circuits offer ideall ero input resistance and ideall infinite output resistance Integrators and Differentiators In this subsection we first eplain some integrators and differentiators [10] realiable similar to their VOAs counter parts. Due to the reason spelt out earlier an inverting integrator with a CFOA is not feasible. Since a capacitive feedback from

However, a slightl modified version with an additional resistance incorporated in the feedback path is still possible as shown in Fig Addition of resistor R F is acceptable since at high frequenc the resistor is dominant and hence feedback impedance would never drop below the resistor value. The transfer function of this circuit is given b ¼ " # R F s þ 1 R G R F C 1 s (2.16) 1 ; for ω << 1 (2.17) sc 1 R G R F C 1 On the other hand, to realie a non-inverting integrator, one can make Deboo s integrator [11] almost in the same manner as is done with a VOA (see Fig. 2.12) however; this circuit suffers from the drawback of requiring four identical resistors and also has to fulfill a condition to ensure stable operation. This circuit is characteried b the following transfer function. V 1 ffi 1 þ! RF R G s C 1 (2.18)

This circuit has an inbuilt compensation for the non-ideal effects of the CFOA parasitic impedances. The circuit of Fig realies a non-inverting integrator since its transfer function is given b ¼ 1 st where T ¼ C 0R 0 (2.20) Considering the Z-port parasitic impedance Z p ¼ R p == 1 SC P for both the CFOAs, a non-ideal analsis reveals ffi sc 0 R 0 εðsþ (2.21)

The error function εðsþ is given b εðsþ ¼ 1 þ st 2 1 þ st 1 þ s 2 T 1 T 2 with T 1 ¼ C P ; T 2 ¼ C P R 3 = (2.22) From the above, the phase error is given b ϕ ffi ωðt 2 T 1 Þ ω 3 T 2 1 T 2 (2.23) Hence, for negligible phase error, one requires T 1 ¼ T 2 which gives the required condition as R 3 ¼ 2 =. From the above, it is seen that with R 3 ¼ 2 =, the phase error is minimied and active-compensation is achieved. In the above cases, the circuits devised using CFOAs are eactl similar to their VOA counterparts. However, since a CFOA has an in built CCII+, there is an alternative wa of realiing inverting/non-inverting integrators. A general circuit to realie an integrator in an alternative manner is shown in Fig An analsis of this circuit shows that the output voltage is given b ¼ 1 ðv 1 V 2 Þ (2.24) sc 0 R 0 Thus, both inverting and non-inverting integrators can be realied from this circuit as special cases b grounding V 1 or V 2 respectivel. A differentiator is obtainable from the same circuit b interchanging the resistor and the capacitor. e now show a circuit which can perform the operation of dual input integrator using a single CFOA proposed b Lee and Liu [13] (Fig. 2.15).

Over an operating frequenc range of kh, this circuit works well with a phase error of the order of 10. In Fig we show another integrator circuit which was proposed b Lee and Liu in [14] and has the facilit for time constant multiplication.

For instance, if we take m ¼ 3 and n ¼ 10 with V 3 as the input, it is possible to achieve a multiplication factor of 143. The transfer function of the differentiator circuit of Fig is given b ¼ sc R 5 1 þ R3 þ R 3 þ 1 1 R 5 (2.31) R 4 þ 1 þ R 5 R 4 If ¼ R, R 4 ¼ 2R, ¼ R 3 ¼ R 5 ¼ 2nR the above equation can be epressed as ¼ 4sRC n 1 þ 1 2n þ ðn þ 1Þðn þ 1Þ (2.32) As an eample, if we select ¼ 1kΩ, R 4 ¼ 2kΩ, ¼ R 3 ¼ R 5 ¼ 10 kω then the multiplication factor turns out to be 166. In reference [14], it has been demonstrated that the circuit of Fig works well with in the frequenc range 200H to 1 MH with a phase error of less than 12 o whereas for the differentiator of Fig. 2.18, the operating frequenc range has been found to be 100 H to 10 kh with a phase error less than 6.

In the following, we identif these two basic blocks and then briefl describe the internal architecture and characteristics/parameters of some eemplar IC CFOAs available from leading analog IC manufacturers The Mied-Translinear-Cells (MTC) as Building Blocks of CFOAs Most of the CFOA architectures have the internal structure of a CCII + followed b a voltage buffer. Since a CCII + itself has a voltage follower between its and terminals, it, therefore, follows that a tpical CFOA architecture would have two voltage followers (VF): one between and terminals and the other between Z and terminals. Furthermore, there has to be a mechanism of sensing the current flowing into the low-input impedance terminal of the input VF, creating a cop of the same and making it available at the high output impedance Z-terminal where a compensating capacitor can be connected either internall or eternall. Two standard configurations for realiing VFs are the two mied translinear Cells

This CFOA provides 130 MH 3-dB band width (for a gain of +2) with a slew rate of 1,500 V/μs Intersil HFA 1130 Intersil HFA1130 (Fig. 2.21) CFOA is an ideal choice for applications requiring output limiting which allows the designer to set the maimum positive and negative output levels thereb protecting the later stages from damage or input saturation [18].

The mechanism of high clamp (V H circuit) can be eplained as follows. The unit gain buffer made from tpe-ii MTC forces V IN to track V IN+ and sets up a slewing current ¼ (V IN V OUT )/R F. This current through the mirror action of the current mirrors Q p3 Q p4 and Q N3 Q N4 creates a replica of this current at the high impedance node Z. The base voltage of Q p5 is 2V BE (Q N6 and Q P6 )lessthanv H which permits the conduction of Q p5 whenever the voltage at the Z node reaches a voltage ¼ Q p5 s base +2V BE (Q p5 and Q N5 ) in this manner the transistor Q p5 clamps node Z whenever Z reaches to a voltage level ¼ V H. The resistance acts as a pull-up resistance to ensure functionalit with the clamp input floating. There is similar circuit (not shown in this diagram) which provides a smmetrical low clamp control b voltage V L. HFA1130 has a slew rate of the order of 2,300 V/μs and 3 db bandwidth of 850 MH and is capable of provide a high output current of the order of 60 ma and is recommended for applications in the design of residue amplifier, video switching and routing, pulse and video amplifiers, Flash A/D Driver, RF/IF signal processing and Medical imaging sstems AD8011 from Analog Devices Figure 2.22 shows a simplified schematic of the two-stage CFOA AD8011 from Analog Devices [19]. The input stage is a tpe-i MTC with a complementar second gain stage created from the pair of transistors Q 5 and Q 6. The circuit

This CFOA has a 3 db bandwidth of 57 MH, slew rate of 3,500 V/μs, output current of 30 ma with quiescent power of 12 m THS 3001 from Teas Instruments Inc. Figure 2.23 shows the CFOA THS3001 from TI has 420 MH 3-dB bandwidth for gain of +1, and has slew rate of 6,500 V/μs with current output drive as high as100ma. The simplified schematic of this CFOA is shown in Fig This CFOA is built b using a 30-V dielectricall isolated, complementar bipolar process with NPN and PNP transistors possessing f T of several GH. This configuration implements an eceptionall high performance CFOA having wide bandwidth, high slew rate, fast settling time (40 ns) and low distortion (THD 80 dbc at 10 MH). Lastl, it ma be pointed out that a wide varieties of CFOAs optimied for enhancement of one or more of the several specific performance features such as higher slew rate, increased output current drive capabilit, wider bandwidth etc. are available from leading IC manufacturers. For further information, the readers are referred to the datasheets of various IC manufacturers. Lastl, it ma be pointed out that CFOAs with slew rate as high as 9,000 V/μs (such as THS3202 from Teas Instruments Inc.) are available as off-the-shelf items.

In spite of their limitations, CFOAs are quite useful for numerous applications which can be carried out more efficientl with CFOAs than with VOAs, with one or more of the following advantages: emploment of smaller number of eternal passive components, elimination of passive component-matching requirements in several cases and higher operational frequenc range. In fact, the nature of man high frequenc applications of CFOAs is such that the ver high slew rate puts the CFOA in the spotlight [20]. In view of the above, it must be emphasied that the focus of the subsequent chapters of the present book would be primaril on those applications where the CFOAs are found to provide significant advantages and/or resulting in novel circuits the tpe of which cannot be realied with conventional VOAs.
