General Information - Current Feedback Technology Advantages of CFB Technology The CLCx6 Family of amplifiers utilize current feedback (CFB) technology to achieve superior performance. The primary advantage of CFB technology is higher slew rate performance when compared to voltage feedback (VFB) architecture. High slew rate contributes directly to better large signal pulse response, full power bandwidth, and distortion. CFB also alleviates the traditional trade-off between closed loop gain and usable bandwidth that is seen with a VFB amplifier. With CFB, the bandwidth is primarily determined by the value of the feedback resistor, R f. By using optimum feedback resistor values, the bandwidth of a CFB amplifier remains nearly constant with different gain configurations. When designing with CFB amplifiers always abide by these basic rules: Use the recommended feedback resistor value Do not use reactive (capacitors, diodes, inductors, etc.) elements in the direct feedback path Avoid stray or parasitic capacitance across feedback resistors Follow general high-speed amplifier layout guidelines Ensure proper precautions have been made for driving capacitive loads V IN Ierr V OUT V IN x = + R f + Z o *Ierr R f VOUT + R f Z o(jω) Eq. R L V IN Ierr V OUT V IN = R f + x Z o *Ierr R f + R f Z o(jω) V OUT Eq. Figure. Inverting Gain Configuration with First Order Transfer Function CFB Technology - Theory of Operation Figure shows a simple representation of a current feedback amplifier that is configured in the traditional noninverting gain configuration. Instead of having two high-impedance inputs similar to a VFB amplifier, the inputs of a CFB amplifier are connected across a unity gain buffer. This buffer has a high impedance input and a low impedance output. It can source or sink current (I err ) as needed to force the non-inverting input to track the value of Vin. The CFB architecture employs a high gain trans-impedance stage that senses Ierr and drives the output to a value of (Z o (jω) * I err ) volts. With the application of negative feedback, the amplifier will drive the output to a voltage in a manner which tries to drive Ierr to zero. In practice, primarily due to limitations on the value of Z o (jω), Ierr remains a small but finite value. A closer look at the closed loop transfer function (Eq.) shows the effect of the trans-impedance, Z o (jω) on the gain of the circuit. At low frequencies where Z o (jω) is very large with respect to R f, the second term of the equation approaches unity, allowing R f and to set the gain. At higher frequencies, the value of Z o (jω) will roll off, and the effect of the secondary term will begin to dominate. The db small signal parameter specifies the frequency where the value Z o (jω) equals the value of R f causing the gain to drop by.77 of the value at DC.

Application Information Basic Operation Figures 3, 4, and 5 illustrate typical circuit configurations for non-inverting, inverting, and unity gain topologies for dual supply applications.

Do not use the traditional voltage follower circuit, where the output is tied directly to the inverting input. With a CFB amplifier, a feedback resistor of appropriate value must be used to prevent unstable behavior. Refer to figure 5 and Table. Although this seems cumbersome, it does allow a degree of freedom to adjust the passband characteristics. Feedback Resistor Selection One of the key design considerations when using a CFB amplifier is the selection of the feedback resistor, R f. R f is used in conjunction with to set the gain in the traditional non-inverting and inverting circuit configurations. Refer to figures 3 and 4. As discussed in the Current Feedback Technology section, the value of the feedback resistor has a pronounced effect on the frequency response of the circuit. Table, provides recommended R f and associated values for various gain settings. These values produce the optimum frequency response, maximum bandwidth with minimum peaking. Adjust these values to optimize performance for a specific application. The typical performance characteristics section includes plots that illustrate how the bandwidth is directly affected by the value of R f at various gain settings. 48 CADEKA Microcircuits LLC www.cadeka.com Gain (V/V R f (Ω) (Ω) ±.db BW (MHz) db BW (MHz) - 65 5 5 5 335 5 5 4 3 Table : Recommended R f vs. Gain In general, lowering the value of R f from the recommended value will extend the bandwidth at the expense of additional high frequency gain peaking. This will cause increased overshoot and ringing in the pulse response characteristics. Reducing R f too much will eventually cause oscillatory behavior. Increasing the value of Rf will lower the bandwidth. Lowering the bandwidth creates a flatter frequency response and improves.db bandwidth performance. This is important in applications such as video. Further increase in Rf will cause premature gain rolloff and adversely affect gain flatness. Comlinear CLC6, CLC36, CLC46 Dual, Triple, and Quad 55MHz Amplifiers Rev C

Driving Capacitive Loads Increased phase delay at the output due to capacitive loading can cause ringing, peaking in the frequency response, and possible unstable behavior. Use a series resistance, R S, between the amplifier and the load to help improve stability and settling performance. Refer to Figure 6. Input + - R f Figure 6. Addition of R S for Driving Capacitive Loads Table provides the recommended R S for various capacitive loads. The recommended R S values result in <=.5dB peaking in the frequency response. The Frequency Response vs. C L plot, on page 5, illustrates the response of the CLCx6 Family. C L (pf) R S (Ω) db BW (MHz) 4 35 5 5 4 Table : Recommended R S vs. C L For a given load capacitance, adjust R S to optimize the tradeoff between settling time and bandwidth. In general, reducing R S will increase bandwidth at the expense of additional overshoot and ringing. Parasitic Capacitance on the Inverting Input R s Physical connections between components create unintentional or parasitic resistive, capacitive, and inductive elements. Parasitic capacitance at the inverting input can be especially troublesome with high frequency amplifiers. A parasitic capacitance on this node will be in parallel with the gain setting resistor. At high frequencies, its impedance can begin to raise the system gain by making appear smaller. In general, avoid adding any additional parasitic capacitance at this node. In addition, stray capacitance across the R f resistor can induce peaking and high frequency C L R L Output ringing. Refer to the Layout Considerations section for additional information regarding high speed layout techniques. Overdrive Recovery An overdrive condition is defined as the point when either one of the inputs or the output exceed their specified voltage range. Overdrive recovery is the time needed for the amplifier to return to its normal or linear operating point. The recovery time varies, based on whether the input or output is overdriven and by how much the range is exceeded. The CLCx6 Family will typically recover in less than ns from an overdrive condition. Figure 7 shows the CLC6 in an overdriven condition. Input Voltage (V)..75.5.5. -.5 -.5 -.75 -. Input Power Dissipation Output 4 6 8 4 6 8 Time ( ns ) Figure 7. Overdrive Recovery Power dissipation should not be a factor when operating under the stated ohm load condition. However, applications with low impedance, DC coupled loads should be analyzed to ensure that maximum allowed junction temperature is not exceeded. Guidelines listed below can be used to verify that the particular application will not cause the device to operate beyond it s intended operating range. Maximum power levels are set by the absolute maximum junction rating of 5 C. To calculate the junction temperature, the package thermal resistance value Theta JA (Ө JA ) is used along with the total die power dissipation. T Junction = T Ambient + (Ө JA P D ) V IN =.5V pp G = 5 Where T Ambient is the temperature of the working environment. 4 3 - Output Voltage (V) Comlinear CLC6, CLC36, CLC46 Dual, Triple, and Quad 55MHz Amplifiers Rev C 48 CADEKA Microcircuits LLC www.cadeka.com

In order to determine P D, the power dissipated in the load needs to be subtracted from the total power delivered by the supplies. P D = P supply - P load Supply power is calculated by the standard power equation. P supply = V supply I RMS supply V supply = V S+ - V S- Power delivered to a purely resistive load is: P load = ((V LOAD ) RMS )/Rloadeff The effective load resistor (Rload eff ) will need to include the effect of the feedback network. For instance, Rload eff in figure 3 would be calculated as: R L (R f + ) These measurements are basic and are relatively easy to perform with standard lab equipment. For design purposes however, prior knowledge of actual signal levels and load impedance is needed to determine the dissipated power. Here, P D can be found from P D = P Quiescent + P Dynamic - P Load Quiescent power can be derived from the specified I S values along with known supply voltage, V Supply. Load power can be calculated as above with the desired signal amplitudes using: (V LOAD ) RMS = V PEAK / ( I LOAD ) RMS = ( V LOAD ) RMS / Rload eff The dynamic power is focused primarily within the output stage driving the load. This value can be calculated as: P DYNAMIC = (V S+ - V LOAD ) RMS ( I LOAD ) RMS Assuming the load is referenced in the middle of the power rails or V supply /. Figure 8 shows the maximum safe power dissipation in the package vs. the ambient temperature for the 8 and 4 lead SOIC packages. Maximum Power Dissipation (W).5.5.5 SOIC-8 SOIC 4 6 8 Ambient Temperature ( C) Figure 8. Maximum Power Derating Better thermal ratings can be achieved by maximizing PC board metallization at the package pins. However, be careful of stray capacitance on the input pins. In addition, increased airflow across the package can also help to reduce the effective Ө JA of the package. In the event the outputs are momentarily shorted to a low impedance path, internal circuitry and output metallization are set to limit and handle up to 65mA of output current. However, extended duration under these conditions may not guarantee that the maximum junction temperature (+5 C) is not exceeded. Layout Considerations General layout and supply bypassing play major roles in high frequency performance. CADEKA has evaluation boards to use as a guide for high frequency layout and as aid in device testing and characterization. Follow the steps below as a basis for high frequency layout: Include 6.8µF and.µf ceramic capacitors for power supply decoupling Place the 6.8µF capacitor within.75 inches of the power pin Place the.µf capacitor within. inches of the power pin Remove the ground plane under and around the part, especially near the input and output pins to reduce parasitic capacitance Minimize all trace lengths to reduce series inductances Comlinear CLC6, CLC36, CLC46 Dual, Triple, and Quad 55MHz Amplifiers Rev C Refer to the evaluation board layouts below for more information. 48 CADEKA Microcircuits LLC www.cadeka.com
