CLC410
Fast Settling, Video Op Amp with Disable
General Description
The current-feedback CLC410 is a fast settling, wideband,
monolithic op amp with fast disable/enable feature. De-
signed for low gain applications (A
V
=±1to±
8), the
CLC410 consumes only 160mW of power (180mW max) yet
provides a -3dB bandwidth of 200MHz (A
V
= +2) and 0.05%
settling in 12ns (15ns max). Plus, the disable feature pro-
vides fast turn on (100ns) and turn off (200ns). In addition,
the CLC410 offers both high performance and stability with-
out compensation - even at a gain of +1.
The CLC410 provides a simple, high performance solution
for video switching and distribution applications, especially
where analog buses benefit from use of the disable function
to “multiplex” signals onto the bus. Differential gain/phase of
0.01%/0.01˚ provide high fidelity and the 60mA output cur-
rent offers ample drive capability.
The CLC410’s fast settling, low distortion, and high drive
capabilities make it an ideal ADC driver. The low 160mW
quiescent power consumption and very low 40mW disabled
power consumption suggest use where power is critical
and/or “system off” power consumption must be minimized.
The CLC410 is available in several versions to meet a
variety of requirements. A three letter suffix determines the
version.

Enable/Disable Operation
The CLC410 has an enable/disable feature that is useful for
conserving power and for multiplexing the outputs of several
amplifiers onto an analog bus (
Figure 3
). Disabling an am-
plifier while not in use reduces power supply current and the
output and inverting input pins become a high impedance.
Pin 8, the DIS pin, can be driven from either open-collector
TTL or from 5V CMOS.A logic low disables the amplifier and
an internal 15kpull-up resistor ensures that the amplifier is
enabled if pin 8 is not connected (
Figure 5
). Both TTLand 5V
CMOS logic are guaranteed to drive a high enough
high-level output voltage (V
OH
) to ensure that the CLC410 is
enabled. Whichever type used, “break-before-make” opera-
tion should be established when outputs of several amplifi-
ers are connected together. This is important for avoiding
large, transient currents flowing between amplifiers when
two or more are simultaneously enabled. Typically, proper
operation is ensured if all the amplifiers are driven from the
same decoder integrated circuit because logic output rise
times tend to be longer than fall times. As a result, the
amplifier being disabled will reach the 2V threshold sooner
than the amplifier being enabled (see t
D
of
Figure 4
timing
diagram).

Application Division (Continued)
During disable, supply current drops to approximately 4mA
and the inverting input and output pin impedances become
200k\0.5pF each. The total impedance that a disabled
amplifier and its associated feedback network presents to
the analog bus is determined from
Figure 6
. For example, at
a non-inverting gain of 1, the output impedance at video
frequencies is 100k\1pF since the 250feedback resistor
is a negligible impedance. Similarly, output impedance is
500\0.5pF at a non-inverting gain of 2 (with R
f
=R
g
=
250).
Differential Gain and Phase
Plots on the preceding page illustrate the differential gain
and phase performance of the CLC410 at both 3.58MHz and
4.43MHz. Application Note OA-08 presents a measurement
technique for measuring the very low differential gain and
phase of the CLC410. Observe that the gain and phase
errors remain low even as the output loading increases,
making the device attractive for driving multiple video out-
puts.
Understanding the Loop Gain
The CLC410 is a current-feedback op amp. Referring to the
equivalent circuit of
Figure 7
, any current flowing in the
inverting input is amplified to a voltage at the output through
the transimpedance gain shown below. This Z(s) is analo-
gous to the open-loop gain of a voltage feedback amplifier.
01274919
Open-Loop Transimpedance Gain, Z(s)
Developing the non-inverting frequency response for the
topology of
Figure 3
yields:
(1)
where LG is the loop gain defined by,
(2)
Equation 1 has a form identical to that for a voltage feedback
amplifier with the differences occurring in the LG expression,
eq.2. For an idealized treatment, set Z
i
= 0 which results in a
very simple LG=Z(s)/R
f
(Derivation of the transfer function
for the case where Z
i
= 0 is given in Application Note
AN300-1). Using the Z(s) (open-loop transimpedance gain)
plot shown on the previous page and dividing by the recom-
mended R
f
= 250, yields a large loop gain at DC. As a
result, Equation 1 shows that the closed-loop gain at DC is
very close to (1+R
f
/R
g
).
At higher frequencies, the roll-off of Z(s) determines the
closed-loop frequency response which, ideally, is dependent
only on R
f
.The specifications reported on the previous
pages are therefore valid only for the specified R
f
=
250.Increasing R
f
from 250will decrease the loop gain

and band width, while decreasing it will increase the loop
gain possibly leading to inadequate phase margin and
closed-loop peaking. Conversely, fixing R
f
will hold the fre-
quency response constant while the closed-loop gain can be
adjusted using R
g
.
The CLC410 departs from this idealized analysis to the
extent that the inverting input impedance is finite. With the
low quiescent power of the CLC410, Z
i
)50leading to drop
in loop gain and bandwidth at high gain settlings, as given by
equation 2. The second term in Equation 2 accounts for the
division in feedback current that occurs between Z
i
and
R
f
iR
g
at the inverting node of the CLC410. This decrease in
bandwidth can be circumvented as described in “Increasing
Bandwidth at High Gains.” Also see “Current Feedback Am-
plifiers” in the National Databook for a thorough discussion
of current feedback op amps.
Increasing Bandwidth At High Gains
Bandwidth may be increased at high closed-loop gains by
adjusting R
f
and R
g
to make up for the losses in loop gain
that occur at these high gain settlings due to current division
at the inverting input. An approximate relationship may be
obtained by holding the LG expression constant as the gain
is changed from the design point used in the specifications
(that is, R
f
= 250and R
g
= 250). For the CLC400 this
gives,
(3)
whereA
V
is the non-inverting gain. Note that withA
V
=+2we
get the specified R
f
= 250, while at higher gains, a lower
value gives stable performance with improved bandwidth.
DC Accuracy and Noise
Since the two inputs for the CLC410 are quite dissimilar, the
noise and offset error performance differs somewhat from
that of a standard differential input amplifier. Specifically, the
inverting input current noise is much larger than the
non-inverting current noise. Also the two input bias currents
are physically unrelated rendering bias current cancellation
through matching of the inverting and non-inverting pin re-
sistors ineffective.
In Equation 4, the output offset is the algebraic sum of the
equivalent input voltage and current sources that influence
DC operation. Output noise is determined similarly except
that a root-sum-of-squares replaces the algebraic sum. R
s
is
the non-inverting pin resistance.

An important observation is that for fixed R
f
, offsets as
referred to the input improve as the gain is increased (divide
all terms by 1+R
f
/R
g
). A similar result is obtained for noise
where noise figure improves as a gain increases.
The input noise plot shown in the CLC400 datasheet applies
equally as well to the CLC410.
Capacitive Feedback
Capacitive feedback should not be used with the CLC410
because of the potential for loop instability. See Application
Note OA-7 for active filter realizations with the CLC410.
Offset Adjustment Pin
Pin 1 can be connected to a potentiometer as shown in
Figure 1
and used to adjust the input offset of the CLC410.
Full range adjustment of ±5V on pin 1 will yield a ±10mV
input offset adjustment range. Pin 1 should always be by-
passed to ground with a ceramic capacitor located close to
the package for best settling performance.
Printed Circuit Layout
As with any high frequency device, a good PCB layout will
enhance performance. Ground plane construction and good
power supply bypassing close to the package are critical to
achieving full performance. In the non-inverting configura-
tion, the amplifier is sensitive to stray capacitance to ground
at the inverting input. Hence, the inverting node connections
should be small with minimal coupling to the ground plane.
Shunt capacitance across the feedback resistor should not
be used to compensate for this effect.
Parasitic or load capacitance directly on the output will intro-
duce additional phase shift in the loop degrading the loop
phase margin and leading to frequency response peaking. A
small series resistor before the capacitance effectively de-
couples this effect. The graphs on the preceding page illus-
trates the required resistor value and resulting performance
vs. capacitance.
Precision buffed resistors (PRP8351 series from Precision
Resistive Products) with low parasitic reactances were used
to develop the data sheet specifications. Precision carbon
composition resistors will also yield excellent results. Stan-
dard spirally-trimmed RN55D metal film resistors will work
with a slight decrease in bandwidth due to their reactive
nature at high frequencies.
Evaluation PC boards (part no. 730013 for through-hole and
730027 for SOIC) for the CLC404 are available.
