N CLC111 Ultra-High Slew Rate, Closed-Loop Buffer General Description Features The CLC111 is a high-performance, closed-loop, monolithic buffer designed for applications requiring very high-frequency signals. The CLC111's high performance includes an extremely fast 800MHz small signal bandwidth (0.5Vpp) and an ultra high (3500V/s) slew rate while requiring only 10.5mA quiescent current. Signal fidelity is maintained with low harmonic distortion (-62dBc 2nd and 3rd harmonics at 20MHz). These performance characteristics are for a demanding 100 load. Featuring a patented closed-loop design, the CLC111 offers nearly ideal unity-gain (0.996) with very low (1.4) output impedance. The CLC111 is ideally suited for buffering video signals with its 0.15%/ 0.04 differential gain and phase performance at 4.43MHz. Power sensitive applications will benefit from the CLC111's excellent performance on reduced or single supply voltages.

It uses a closed-loop topology which allows for accuracy not usually found in high-speed open-loop buffers. A slew enhanced front end allows for low quiescent power while not sacrificing ac performance. +5V C3 6.8F Printed Circuit Layout and Supply Bypassing As with any high-frequency device, a good PCB layout is required for optimum performance. This is especially important for a device as fast as the CLC111. To minimize capacitive feedthrough, pins 2, 3, 6, and 7 should be connected to the ground plane, as shown in Figure 1. Input and output traces should be laid out as transmission lines with the appropriate termination resistors very near the CLC111. On a 0.065 inch epoxy PCB material, a 50 transmission line (commonly called stripline) can be constructed by using a trace width of 0.1" over a complete ground plane. Figure 1 shows recommended power supply bypassing. The ferrite beads are optional and are recommended only where additional isolation is needed from high-frequency (>400MHz) resonances in the power supply. + L1 0.01F C1 1 Vin 4 CLC111 Rin Rin is chosen for desired input impedance. Single Supply Operation Although the CLC111 is specified to operate from split 5V power supplies, there is no internal ground reference that prevents operation from a single voltage power supply. For single supply operation the input signal should be biased at a DC value of 1/2VCC. This can be accomplished by AC coupling and rebiasing as shown in Figure 1. The above electrical specifications provide typical performance specifications for the CLC111 at 25C while operating from a single +3V or a single +5V power supply. UNITS 2 3 Vout Rout 5 L2 C2 0.01F -5V C4 6.8F 8 6 7 + ferrite bead (optional) Rout is chosen for desired output impedance. (CLC111 Ro = 1.4 ) Figure 1: Recommended circuit & evaluation board schematic Parasitic or load capacitance directly on the output of the CLC111 will introduce additional phase shift in the device. This phase shift can decrease phase margin and increase frequency response peaking. A small series resistor before the capacitance effectively decouples this effect. The graphs on the following page illustrate the required resistor value and the resulting performance vs. capacitance. Precision buffed resistors (PRP8351 series from Precision Resistive Products), which have low parasitic reactances, were used to develop the data sheet specifications. Precision carbon composition resistors or standard spirally-trimmed RN55D metal film resistors will work, though they will cause a slight degradation of ac performance due to their reactive nature at high frequencies. Evaluation Boards Evaluation boards are available from National as part numbers CLC730012 (DIP) and CLC730045 (SOIC). This board was used in the characterization of the device and provides optimal performance.
