LT6236/LT6237/LT6238 Rail-to-Rail Output 215MHz, 1.1nV/Hz Op Amp/SAR ADC Driver Description Features n n n n n n n n n n n n n Low Noise: 1.1nV/Hz Low Supply Current: 3.5mA/Amp Max Low Offset Voltage: 350V Max Fast Settling Time: 570ns to 18-Bit, 2VP-P Output Low Distortion: THD = -116.8dB at 2kHz Wide Supply Range: 3V to 12.6V Output Swings Rail-to-Rail 215MHz Gain-Bandwidth Product Specified Temperature Range: -40C to 125C LT6236 Shutdown to 10A Max LT6236 in Low Profile (1mm) ThinSOTTM Package Dual LT6237 in 3mm x 3mm 8-Lead DFN and 8-Lead MSOP Packages LT6238 in 16-Lead SSOP Package n n This amplifier family has an output that swings within 50mV of either supply rail to maximize the signal dynamic range in low supply applications and is specified on 3.3V, 5V and 5V supplies. The LT6236/LT6237/LT6238 are upgrades to the LT6230/ LT6231/LT6232, offering similar performance with reduced wideband noise beyond 100kHz. Applications n The LT(R)6236/LT6237/LT6238 are single/dual/quad low noise, rail-to-rail output op amps that feature 1.1nV/Hz input referred noise voltage density and draw only 3.5mA of supply current per amplifier. These amplifiers combine very low noise and supply current with a 215MHz gain bandwidth product and a 70V/s slew rate. Low noise, fast settling time and low offset voltage make this amplifier optimal to drive low noise, high speed SAR ADCs. The LT6236 includes a shutdown feature that can be used to reduce the supply current to less than 10A. 16-Bit and 18-Bit SAR ADC Drivers Active Filters Low Noise, Low Power Signal Processing L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and ThinSOT is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.

A simple current mirror Q3/Q4 converts the differential signal to a single-ended output, and these transistors are degenerated to reduce their contribution to the overall noise. Capacitor C1 reduces the unity cross frequency and improves the frequency stability without degrading the gain bandwidth of the amplifier. Capacitor CM sets the overall amplifier gain bandwidth. The differential drive generator supplies current to transistors Q5 and Q6 that provide rail-to-rail output swing. Input Protection Back-to-back diodes, D1 and D2, limit the differential input voltage to 0.7V. The inputs of the LT6236/LT6237/ LT6238 do not have internal resistors in series with the input transistors. This technique is often used to protect the input devices from over voltage that causes excessive current to flow. The addition of these resistors would significantly degrade the voltage noise of these amplifiers. For instance, a 100 resistor in series with each input would generate 1.8nV/Hz of noise, and the total amplifier noise voltage would rise from 1.1nV/Hz to 2.1nV/Hz. Once the input differential voltage exceeds 0.7V, steady state current conducted through the protection diodes should be limited to 40mA. This implies 25 of protection resistance is necessary per volt of overdrive beyond 0.7V. These input diodes are rugged enough to handle transient currents due to amplifier slew rate overdrive and clipping without protection resistors. Figure 2 shows the output response to an input overdrive with the amplifier connected as a voltage follower. With the input signal low, current source I1 saturates and the differential drive generator drives Q6 into saturation so the output voltage swings all the way to V-. The input can swing positive until transistor Q2 saturates into current mirror Q3/Q4. When saturation occurs, the output tries to phase invert, but diode D2 conducts current from the signal source to the output through the feedback connection. The output is clamped a diode drop below the input. In Figure 2, the input signal generator is limiting at about 20mA. With the amplifier connected in a gain of AV 2, the output can invert with very heavy overdrive. To avoid this inversion, limit the input overdrive to 0.5V beyond the power supply rails. 2.5V 1V/DIV Functional Description 0V -2.5V 500s/DIV 62367 F02 Figure 2.

If these pins are forced beyond either supply, unlimited current will flow through these diodes. If the current is transient and limited to 100mA or less, no damage to the device will occur. Noise The noise voltage of the LT6236/LT6237/LT6238 is equivalent to that of a 75 resistor, and for the lowest possible noise it is desirable to keep the source and feedback resistance at or below this value, i.e. RS + RG||RFB 75. With RS + RG||RFB = 75 the total noise of the amplifier is: eN = (1.1nV)2 +(1.1nV)2 =1.55nV/ Hz Below this resistance value, the amplifier dominates the noise, but in the region between 75 and about 3k, the noise is dominated by the resistor thermal noise. As the total resistance is further increased beyond 3k, the amplifier noise current multiplied by the total resistance eventually dominates the noise. The product of eN * ISUPPLY is an interesting way to gauge low noise amplifiers. Most low noise amplifiers have high ISUPPLY. In applications that require low noise voltage with the lowest possible supply current, this product can be helpful. be used with a pull-up resistor to ensure that the amplifier remains off. When the ENABLE pin is left floating, the amplifier is inactive. However, care should be taken to control the leakage current through the pin so the amplifier is not inadvertently turned on. See Typical Performance Characteristics. The output leakage current when disabled is very low; however, current can flow into the input protection diodes, D1 and D2, if the output voltage exceeds the input voltage by a diode drop. Power Dissipation The LT6237MS8 combines high speed with large output current in a small package. Due to the wide supply voltage range, it is possible to exceed the maximum junction temperature under certain conditions. Maximum junction temperature (TJ) is calculated from the ambient temperature (TA) and power dissipation (PD) as follows: TJ = TA + (PD * JA) The power dissipation in the IC is the function of the supply voltage, output voltage and the load resistance. For a given supply voltage, the worst-case power dissipation PD(MAX) occurs at the maximum quiescent supply current and at the output voltage which is half of either supply voltage (or the maximum swing if it is less than half the supply voltage). PD(MAX) is given by: PD(MAX) = (V+- V-)( IS(MAX)) + (V+/2)2/RL The LT6236/LT6237/LT6238 have an eN * ISUPPLY of only 1.9 per amplifier, yet it is common to see amplifiers with similar noise specifications to have eN * ISUPPLY as high as 13.5. For a complete discussion of amplifier noise, see the LT1028 data sheet. Example: An LT6237HMS8 in the 8-Lead MSOP package has a thermal resistance of JA = 273C/W. Operating on 5V supplies with one amplifier driving a 1k load, the worst-case power dissipation is given by: ENABLE Pin In this example, the maximum ambient temperature that the part is allowed to operate is: The LT6236 includes an ENABLE pin that shuts down the amplifier to 10A maximum supply current. For normal operation, the ENABLE pin must be pulled to at least 2.7V below V+. The ENABLE pin must be driven high to within 0.35V of V+ to shut down the amplifier. This can be accomplished with simple gate logic; however care must be taken if the logic and the LT6236 operate from different supplies. If this is the case, open drain logic can 18 PD(MAX) = (10V)(11mA) + (2.5V)2/1000= 116mW TA = TJ - (PD(MAX) x 273C/W) TA = 150C - (116mW)(273C/W) = 118.3C To operate the device at a higher ambient temperature for the same conditions, switch to using two LT6236 in the 6-Lead TSOT-23, or a single LT6237 in the 8-Lead DFN package. 623637fb For more information www.linear.com/LT6236 LT6236/LT6237/LT6238 Applications Information Interfacing to ADCs When driving an ADC, a single-pole, passive RC filter should be used between the outputs of the LT6236/LT6237/LT6238 and the inputs of the ADC. The sampling process of ADCs creates a charge transient from the switching of the ADC sampling capacitor. This momentarily "shorts" the output of the amplifier as charge is transferred between amplifier and sampling capacitor. The amplifier must recover and settle from this load transient before the acquisition period has ended for a valid representation of the input signal. The RC network between the outputs of the driver and the inputs of the ADC decouples the sampling transient of the ADC. The capacitance serves to provide the bulk of the charge during the sampling process, while the two resistors at the outputs of the LT6236/LT6237/LT6238 are used to dampen and attenuate any charge injected by the ADC. The RC filter provides the benefit of band limiting broadband output noise. Thanks to the very low wideband noise of the LT6236/ LT6237/LT6238, a wideband filter can be used between the amplifier and the ADC without impacting SNR. This is especially important with ADCs or applications that require full settling in between each conversion. The selection of an appropriate filter depends on the specific ADC, however the following procedure is suggested for choosing filter component values. Begin by selecting an appropriate RC time constant for the input signal. Generally, longer time constants improve SNR at the expense of settling time. Output transient settling to 18-bit accuracy will require over twelve RC time constants. To select the resistor value, the resistors in the decoupling network should be at least 10. Keep in mind that these resistors also serve to decouple the LT6236/LT6237/LT6238 outputs from load capacitance. Too large of a resistor will leave insufficient settling time. Too small of a resistor will not properly dampen the load transient of the sampling process, and prolong the time required for settling. For lowest distortion, choose capacitors with low dielectric absorption such as a C0G multilayer ceramic capacitor. In general, large capacitor values attenuate the fixed nonlinear charge kickback, however very large capacitor values will detrimentally load the driver at the desired input frequency and cause driver distortion. Smaller input swings allow for larger filter capacitor values due to decreased loading demands on the driver. This property may be limited by the particular input amplitude dependence of differential nonlinear kickback for the specific ADC used. Series resistors should typically be placed at the inputs to the ADC in order to further improve distortion performance. These series resistors function with the ADC sampling capacitor to filter potential ground bounce or other high speed sampling disturbances. Additionally the resistors limit the rise time of residual filter glitches that manage to propagate to the driver outputs. Restricting possible glitch propagation rise time to within the small signal bandwidth of the driver enables less disturbed output settling. 623637fb For more information www.linear.com/LT6236 19 LT6236/LT6237/LT6238 Typical Applications Single Supply, Low Noise, Low Power, Bandpass Filter with Gain = 10 Frequency Response Plot of Bandpass Filter 23 C2 47pF f0 = V+ 1 = 1MHz 2RC GAIN (dB) R1 732 C = C1C2, R = R1 = R2 C1 1000pF VIN R3 10k R2 732 ( 0.1F - LT6236 + C3 0.1F R4 10k VOUT EN ) f0 = 732 MHz, MAXIMUM f0 = 1MHz R f-3dB = f0 2.5 AV = 20dB at f0 EN = 4VRMS INPUT REFERRED IS = 3.7mA FOR V+ = 5V 3 -7 100k 1M FREQUENCY (Hz) 62367 TA02 10M 62367 TA03 Driving a Fully Differential ADC VA 4.096V 0V OR 4.096V OR 0V - + LOWPASS FILTERS 6V 38.3 49.9 IN+ 270pF 1/2 LT6237 4.096V LTC2389-18 0V 1/2 LT6237 VB + - 270pF 38.3 49.9 IN- 62367 TA04 -2V Driving a Single-Ended ADC LOWPASS FILTER 6V 4.096V 0V + - -2V 49.9 10 LT6236 IN+ 1nF LTC2389-18 49.9 IN- 62367 TA05 20 623637fb For more information www.linear.com/LT6236 LT6236/LT6237/LT6238 Package Description Please refer to http://www.linear.com/designtools/packaging/ for the most recent package drawings.

Forofmore information www.linear.com/LT6236 25 LT6236/LT6237/LT6238 Typical Application The LT6236 is configured as a transimpedance amplifier with an I-to-V conversion gain of 1.5k set by R1. The LT6236 is ideally suited to this application because of its low input offset voltage and current, and its low noise. This is because the 1.5k resistor has an inherent thermal noise of 5nV/Hz or 3.4pA/Hz at room temperature, while the LT6236 contributes only 1.1nV/Hz and 2.4pA/Hz. So, with respect to both voltage and current noises, the LT6236 is actually quieter than the gain resistor. The circuit uses an avalanche photodiode with the cathode biased to approximately 200V. When light is incident on the photodiode, it induces a current IPD which flows into the amplifier circuit. The amplifier output falls negative to maintain balance at its inputs. The transfer function is therefore VOUT = -IPD * 1.5k. C1 ensures stability and good settling characteristics. Output offset was measured at 280V, so low in part because R2 serves to cancel the DC effects of bias current. Output noise was measured at 1.1mVP-P on a 100MHz measurement bandwidth, with C2 shunting R2's thermal noise. As shown in the scope photo, the rise time is 17ns, indicating a signal bandwidth of 20MHz.
