Basic Connection The circuit of Figure 2 implements a non-inverting variable-gain amplifier with a 50 input impedance (R1), a 50 output impedance (R8), and a maximum gain of 9.9 V/V (1.72*(R7/R3)). Recognizing the combination of the 50 series output resistor and the 50 load results in a voltage divider, the gain to this match load is one half of the maximum device gain setting, that is, 4.9 V/V (13.9 dB). The inverting input (In-) is ground-referenced through 50 while the output amplifier's non-inverting input is groundreferenced at pin 9 through R11 (not shown, replace R11 on board with a short). 3 Summing Signals and Offsets into the Output Stage The output amplifier's inverting node (pin 12) is available to introduce any additional signals or offsets into the output. Since pin 12 is a virtual ground, additional signals may be summed into the node without a substantial impact on the signal current flowing from the adjustable-gain path. Briefly, adding an additional impedance on the output amplifier will result in a slight bandwidth reduction of the output amplifier and an increase in the noise gain for the output amplifier's non-inverting input noise voltage. For a more thorough discussion of current feedback amplifiers in inverting summing applications, see OA-13 Current Feedback Loop Gain Analysis and Performance Enhancement (SNOA366). 2 AN-1808 LMH730033 Evaluation Board SNOA516B - February 2008 - Revised May 2013 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2008-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Summing Signals and Offsets into the Output Stage www.ti.com Figure 3 shows an example of using the optional components on the board to sum in a high-speed signal with a gain of -2 to the output pin ( or -1 to the matched 50 load). 50: INPUT IN2 50: SOURCE R6 54.9: R5 500: R7 1 k: 12 10 R8 50: 50: LOAD Figure 3. Summing a High-Speed Signal Into the Output Note that R6 can be used in either of two locations on this board. In Figure 3 R6 is positioned as part of the output op amp's inverting input (In2) termination. Alternatively, it can be positioned to pick off the wiper voltage of an offset-adjust pot (R14Figure 1) that is to be fed into the inverting node of the output amplifier. Figure 4 shows this application where an output offset, independent of the gain adjustment stage, is introduced into the inverting node of the output amplifier. +5V R6 2 k: R5 2 k: R14 10 k: -5V R7 1 k: AV = 1/4 AT POT EXTREMES 1.25 OUTPUT DC VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT RANGE Figure 4.

The offsets produced by the input buffer and the output amplifier can be nulled with appropriate external circuitry. It will not be possible to completely null the offset effects of the multiplier core because of its non-linear nature. As a result, a small non-linear DC offset voltage gain over the adjustment range will always be present at the output of the device. Figure 5 shows the required external circuitry necessary to add the appropriate nulling offsets at both the input buffer and the output amplifier. + V SUPPLIES AND DE-COUPLING TO AMPLIFIER NOT SHOWN R6 2 k: R5 2 k: +VIN R1 50: V 3 4 R10 10 k: C7 0.1 PF V R2 50: 5 6 - V VOUT 12 10 R3 + R9 1 k: R7 1 k: R14 10 k: 2 GAIN ADJUST - Figure 5. Input and Output Stage DC Nulling The output stage offset should be trimmed prior to the input stage. With the gain adjust pin set at minimum gain (maximum attenuation), the output stage offset may be nulled independently from the input stage. R14 should be adjusted to yield the desired output error voltage (typically <1 mV). Having corrected for the input offset voltage and bias current errors of the output amplifier, returning the gain adjust pin to the maximum gain voltage will allow the input buffer stage DC offset errors to be corrected. With no input signal present, but with matched source impedances at each of the two buffer inputs, R10 in Figure 5 can be adjusted to bring the output to within the desired error band. Adjusting the input and the output stage offsets at the two gain extremes will hold the output DC error at a minimum at these two points in the gain range. If a more limited gain range is anticipated, the adjustments should be made at these operating points. The non-linear DC error introduced by the multiplier core will cause a residual, gain dependent, offset to appear at the output as the gain is swept from minimum to maximum. Also, neither the input nor the output offset adjustment described here will improve temperature drift effects. 4 AN-1808 LMH730033 Evaluation Board SNOA516B - February 2008 - Revised May 2013 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2008-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Printed Circuit Board Layout www.ti.com 5 Printed Circuit Board Layout The LMH730033 was designed for evaluation of the LMH6502 and LMH6503.
