KM411/KM41 General Description The KM411 is a single supply, general purpose, voltage-feedback amplifier fabricated on a complementary bipolar process. The KM411 offers 75MHz unity gain bandwidth, 5V/µs slew rate, and only 55µA supply current. It features a rail-to-rail output stage and is unity gain stable. The design utilizes a patent pending topology that provides increased slew rate performance. The common mode input range extends to 3mV below ground and to 1.V below V s. Exceeding these values will not cause phase reversal. However, if the input voltage exceeds the rails by more than.5v, the input ESD devices will begin to conduct. The output will stay at the rail during this overdrive condition. The design uses a Darlington output stage. The output stage is short circuit protected and offers soft saturation protection that improves recovery time. The typical circuit schematic is shown in Figure 1. In R g + +V s KM411-6.8µF Figure 1: Typical Configuration For optimum response at a gain of +, a feedback resistor of 1kΩ is recommended. Figure illustrates the KM411 frequency response with both 1kΩ and kω feedback resistors. Enable/Disable Function (KM41) The KM41 offers an active-low disable pin that can be used to lower its supply current. Leave the pin floating to enable the part. Pull the disable pin to the negative supply (which is ground in a single supply application) to disable the output. During the disable condition, the nominal supply current will drop to below 3µA and the output will be at high impedance with about pf capacitance. +.1µF R f Out Magnitude (1dB/div) Figure : Frequency Response vs. R f DATA SHEET Power Dissipation The maximum internal power dissipation allowed is directly related to the maximum junction temperature. If the maximum junction temperature exceeds 15 C, some reliability degradation will occur. If the maximum junction temperature exceeds 175 C for an extended time, device failure may occur. The KM411 is short circuit protected. However, this may not guarantee that the maximum junction temperature (+15 C) is not exceeded under all conditions. Follow the maximum power derating curves shown in Figure 3 to ensure proper operation.

The recovery time varies based on whether the input or output is overdriven and by how much the ranges are exceeded. The KM411 will typically recover in less than ns from an overdrive condition. Figure 4 shows the KM411 in an overdriven condition. REV. 1C October 1 7

DATA SHEET KM411/KM41 G = 5 Output Refer to the evaluation board layouts shown in Figure 7 for more information. Output Voltage (1V/div) Input Input Voltage (.5V/div) Evaluation Board Information The following evaluation boards are available to aid in the testing and layout of this device: Eval Board Description Products KEB Single Channel, KM411IT5, Dual Supply 5 & 6 lead SOT3 KM41IT6 Time (ns/div) Figure 4: Overdrive Recovery Driving Capacitive Loads The Frequency Response vs. plot on page 4, illustrates the response of the KM411 and KM41. A small series resistance (R s ) at the output of the amplifier, illustrated in Figure 5, will improve stability and settling performance. R s values in the Frequency Response vs. plot were chosen to achieve maximum bandwidth with less than 1dB of peaking. For maximum flatness, use a larger R s. Evaluation board schematics and layouts are shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7. The KEB evaluation board is built for dual supply operation. Follow these steps to use the board in a single supply application: 1. Short -V s to ground. Use C3 and C4, if the -V s pin of the KM411 or KM41 is not directly connected to the ground plane. + R s - R f R L R g Figure 5: Typical Topology for driving a capacitive load Layout Considerations General layout and supply bypassing play major roles in high frequency performance. Fairchild has evaluation boards to use as a guide for high frequency layout and to aid in device testing and characterization. Follow the steps below as a basis for high frequency layout: Include 6.8µF and.1µf ceramic capacitors Place the 6.8µF capacitor within.75 inches of the power pin Place the.1µf capacitor within.1 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 Figure 6: Evaluation Board Schematic 8 REV. 1C October 1
