The AD879 s pinout offers excellent input and output isolation compared to the traditional dual amplifier pin configuration. With two ac ground pins separating both the inputs and outputs, the AD879 achieves very low crosstalk of less than 7 db at 5 MHz. Additionally, the AD879 contains gain setting resistors factory set at G = +2. (A grade) or Gain = +2.2 (B grade) allowing circuit configurations with minimal external components. The B grade gain of +2.2 compensates for gain loss through a system by providing a single-point trim. Using active laser trimming of these resistors, the AD879 guarantees tight control of gain and channel-channel gain matching. With its performance and configuration, the AD879 is well suited for driving differential Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

Its low distortion and fast settling are ideal for buffering high speed dual or differential A-to-D converters. The AD879 features a unique transimpedance linearization circuitry. This allows it to drive video loads with excellent differential gain and phase performance of.% and.2 on only 5 mw of power per amplifier. It features gain flatness of. db to 5 MHz. This makes the AD879 ideal for professional video electronics such as cameras and video switchers. The AD879 offers low power of 5 ma/amplifier (V S = ±5 V) and can run on a single +2 V power supply while delivering over 7 ma of load current. All of this is offered in a small 8-pin SOIC package. These features make this amplifier ideal for portable and battery powered applications where size and power are critical. The outstanding bandwidth of 26 MHz along with 8 V/µs of slew rate make the AD879 useful in many general purpose high speed applications where dual power supplies of ±3 V to ±6 V are required.

This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. 2 Specification is for device in free air: 8-Pin SOIC Package: θ JA = 6 C/Watt MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the AD879 is limited by the associated rise in junction temperature. The maximum safe junction temperature for plastic encapsulated devices is determined by the glass transition temperature of the plastic, approximately +5 C. Exceeding this limit temporarily may cause a shift in parametric performance due to a change in the stresses exerted on the die by the package. Exceeding a junction temperature of +75 C for an extended period can result in device failure. While the AD879 is internally short circuit protected, this may not be sufficient to guarantee that the maximum junction temperature (+5 C) is not exceeded under all conditions. To ensure proper operation, it is necessary to observe the maximum power derating curves. 2.

The internal gain-setting resistors effectively eliminate any parasitic capacitance associated with the inverting input pin, accounting for the AD879 s excellent gain flatness response. The carefully chosen pinout greatly reduces the crosstalk between each amplifier. Up to four back-terminated 75 Ω video loads can be driven by each amplifier, with a typical differential gain and phase performance of.%/.7, respectively. The AD879B, with a gain of +2.2, can be employed as a single gain-trimming element in a video signal chain. Finally, the AD879A/B used in conjunction with our AD86 crosspoint matrix, provides a complete turn-key solution to video distribution. Printed Circuit Board Layout Considerations As to be expected for a wideband amplifier, PC board parasitics can affect the overall closed-loop performance. If a ground plane is to be used on the same side of the board as the signal traces, a space (5 mm min) should be left around the signal lines to minimize coupling. Line lengths on the order of less than 5 mm are recommended. If long runs of coaxial cable are being driven, dispersion and loss must be considered. Power Supply Bypassing Adequate power supply bypassing can be critical when optimizing the performance of a high frequency circuit. Inductance in the power supply leads can form resonant circuits that produce peaking in the amplifier s response. In addition, if large current transients must be delivered to the load, then bypass capacitors (typically greater than µf) will be required to provide the best settling time and lowest distortion. A parallel combination of 4.7 µf and. µf is recommended. Some brands of electrolytic capacitors will require a small series damping resistor 4.7 Ω for optimum results. DC Errors and Noise There are three major noise and offset terms to consider in a current feedback amplifier. For offset errors refer to the equation below. For noise error the terms are root-sum-squared to give a net output error. In the circuit below (Figure 24) they are input offset (V IO ) which appears at the output multiplied by the noise gain of the circuit ( + R F /R I ), noninverting input current (I BN R N ) also multiplied by the noise gain, and the inverting input current, which when divided between R F and R I and subsequently multiplied by the noise gain always appears at the output as I BN R F. The input voltage noise of the AD879 is a low 2 nv/ Hz. At low gains though the inverting input current noise times R F is the dominant noise source. Careful layout and device matching contribute to better offset and drift specifications for the AD879 compared to many other current feedback amplifiers. The typical performance curves in conjunction with the equations below can be used to predict the performance of the AD879 in any application. 9 Figure 23. PSRR vs. Frequency V OUT =V IO + R F ± I BN R N + R F ± I BI R F R I R I where: R F = R I = 75 Ω for AD879A R F = 75 Ω, R I = 625 Ω for AD879B 7

Output Offset Voltage V OUT Driving Capacitive Loads The AD879 was designed primarily to drive nonreactive loads. If driving loads with a capacitive component is desired, best frequency response is obtained by the addition of a small series output resistance (R SERIES ). The graph in Figure 25 shows the optimum value for R SERIES vs. capacitive load. It is worth noting that the frequency response of the circuit when driving large capacitive loads will be dominated by the passive roll-off of R SERIES and C L. 4 C L V IN CABLE 2 4 3 7 /2 AD879 6 V S /2 AD879.µF 8.µF 4.7µF 5 CABLE CABLE CABLE V OUT #2 V OUT #3 V OUT #4 R SERIES Ω 3 2 5 5 2 25 C L pf Figure 25. Recommended R SERIES vs. Capacitive Load Operation as a Video Line Driver The AD879 has been designed to offer outstanding performance as a video line driver. The important specifications of differential gain (.%) and differential phase (.2 ) meet the most exacting HDTV demands for driving one video load with each amplifier. The AD879 also drives four back terminated loads (two each), as shown in Figure 26, with equally impressive performance (.%,.7 ). Another important consideration is isolation between loads in a multiple load application. The AD879 has more than 4 db of isolation at 5 MHz when driving two 75 Ω back terminated loads. Figure 26. Video Line Driver Single-Ended to Differential Driver Using an AD879 The two halves of an AD879 can be configured to create a single-ended to differential high speed driver with a 3 db bandwidth in excess of MHz as shown in Figure 27. Although the individual op amps are each current feedback with internal feedback resistors, the overall architecture yields a circuit with attributes normally associated with voltage feedback amplifiers, while offering the speed advantages inherent in current feedback amplifiers. In addition, the gain of the circuit can be changed by varying a single resistor, R F, which is often not possible in a dual op amp differential driver.

The current feedback nature of the op amps, in addition to enabling the wide bandwidth, provides an output drive of more than 3 V p-p into a 2 Ω load for each output at 2 MHz. On the other hand, the voltage feedback nature provides symmetrical high impedance inputs and allows the use of reactive components in the feedback network. The circuit consists of the two op amps each configured as a unity gain follower by the 75 Ω feedback resistors between each op amp s output and inverting input. The output of each op amp has a 75 Ω resistor to the inverting input of the other op amp. Thus, each output drives the other op amp through a unity gain inverter configuration. By connecting the two amplifiers as cross-coupled inverters, their outputs are free to be equal and opposite, assuring zero-output common-mode voltage. With this circuit configuration, the common-mode signal of the outputs is reduced. If one output moves slightly higher, the negative input to the other op amp drives its output to go slightly lower and thus preserves the symmetry of the complementary outputs which reduces the common-mode signal. The resulting architecture offers several advantages. First, the gain can be changed by changing a single resistor. Changing either R F or R G will change the gain as in an inverting op amp circuit. For most types of differential circuits, more than one resistor must be changed to change gain and still maintain good CMR. Reactive elements can be used in the feedback network. This is in contrast to current feedback amplifiers that restrict the use of reactive elements in the feedback. The circuit described requires about.3 pf of capacitance in shunt across R F in order to optimize peaking and realize a 3 db bandwidth of more than MHz. The peaking exhibited by the circuit is very sensitive to the value of this capacitor. Parasitics in the board layout on the order of tenths of picofarads will influence the frequency response and the value required for the feedback capacitor, so a good layout is essential. The shunt capacitor type selection is also critical. Good microwave type chip capacitors with high Q were found to yield best performance.

Differential Driver Frequency Response Layout Considerations The specified high speed performance of the AD879 requires careful attention to board layout and component selection. Proper RF design techniques and low parasitic component selection are mandatory. The PCB should have a ground plane covering all unused portions of the component side of the board to provide a low impedance ground path. The ground plane should be removed from the area near the input pins to reduce stray capacitance. Chip capacitors should be used for supply bypassing (see Figure 29). One end should be connected to the ground plane and the other within /8 in. of each power pin. An additional large (4.7 µf µf) tantalum electrolytic capacitor should be connected in parallel, but not necessarily so close, to supply current for fast, large-signal changes at the output. Stripline design techniques should be used for long signal traces (greater than about in.). These should be designed with a characteristic impedance of 5 Ω or 75 Ω and be properly terminated at each end. 9 9
