FEATURE
The LT1189 is a difference amplifier optimized for opera-
tion on ±5V, or a single 5V supply, and gain 10. This
versatile amplifier features uncommitted high input im-
pedance (+) and (–) inputs, and can be used in differential
or single-ended configurations. Additionally, a second set
of inputs give gain adjustment and DC control to the
difference amplifier.
The LT1189’s high slew rate, 220V/µs, wide bandwidth,
35MHz, and ±20mA output current require only 13mA of
supply current. The shutdown feature reduces the power
dissipation to a mere 15mW, and allows multiple amplifi-
ers to drive the same cable.
The LT1189 is a low power, gain of 10 stable version of the
popular LT1193, and is available in 8-pin miniDIPs and SO
packages. For lower gain applications see the LT1187
data sheet.

Note 1: A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature below
absolute maximum when the output is shorted continuously.
Note 2: T

is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power dissipation
P

according to the following formulas:
LT1189MJ8, LT1189CJ8: T
J
= T

Note 3: When R
L
= 1k is specified, the load resistor is R
FB1
+ R
FB2
, but when
R
L
= 300 is specified, then an additional 430 is added to the output such
that (R
FB1
+ R
FB2
) in parallel with 430 is R
L
= 300.
Note 4: V
OS
measured at the output (pin 6) is the contribution from both input
pair, and is input referred.
Note 5: V
IN
LIM
is the maximum voltage between –V
IN
and +V
IN
(pin 2 and
pin 3) for which the output can respond.
Note 6: Slew rate is measured between ±1V on the output, with a V
IN
step of
±0.5V, A
V
= 10 and R
L
= 1k.
Note 7: Full power bandwidth is calculated from the slew rate measurement:
FPBW = SR/2πVp.
Note 8: Settling time measurement techniques are shown in “Take the
Guesswork Out of Settling Time Measurements,” EDN, September 19, 1985.
Note 9: NTSC (3.58MHz).
Note 10: AC parameters are 100% tested on the ceramic and plastic DIP
packaged parts (J8 and N8 suffix) and are sample tested on every lot of the SO
packaged parts (S8 suffix).
Note 11: See Application section for shutdown at elevated temperatures. Do
not operate shutdown above T

> 125°C.

The primary use of the LT1189 is in converting high speed
differential signals to a single-ended output. The LT1189
video difference amplifier has two uncommitted high input
impedance (+) and (–) inputs. The amplifier has another
set of inputs which can be used for reference and feed-
back. Additionally, this set of inputs give gain adjust, and
DC control to the differential amplifier. The voltage gain of
the LT1189 is set like a conventional operational amplifier.
Feedback is applied to pin 8, and it is optimized for gains
of 10 or greater. The amplifier can be operated single-
ended by connecting either the (+) or (–) inputs to the
+/REF (pin 1). The voltage gain is set by the resistors:
(R
FB
+ R
G
)/R
G
.
Like the single-ended case, the differential voltage gain is
set by the external resistors: (R
FB
+ R
G
)/R
G
. The maximum
input differential signal for which the output will respond
is approximately ±170mV.
Power Supply Bypassing
The LT1189 is quite tolerant of power supply bypassing.
In some applications a 0.1µF ceramic disc capacitor
placed 1/2 inch from the amplifier is all that is required. In
applications requiring good settling time, it is important to
use multiple bypass capacitors. A 0.1µF ceramic disc in
parallel with a 4.7µF tantalum is recommended.
Calculating the Output Offset Voltage
Both input stages contribute to the output offset voltage at
pin 6. The feedback correction forces balance in the input
stages by introducing an Input V
OS
at pin 8. The complete
expression for the output offset voltage is:
V

LT1189
Instrumentation Amplifier Rejects High Voltage
Instrumentation amplifiers are often used to process
slowly varying outputs from transducers. With the LT1189
it is easy to make an instrumentation amplifier that can
respond to rapidly varying signals. Attenuation resistors
in front of the LT1189 allow very large common-mode
signals to be rejected while maintaining good frequency
response. The input common-mode and differential-mode
signals are reduced by 100:1, while the closed-loop gain
is set to be 100, thereby maintaining unity-gain input to
output. The unique topology allows for frequency re-
sponse boost by adding 150pF to pin 8 as shown.

High Voltage Instrumentation Amplifier Response
Operating with Low Closed-Loop Gain
The LT1189 has been optimized for closed-loop gains of
10 or greater. The amplifier can be operated at much lower
closed-loop gains with the aid of a capacitor C
FB
across
the feedback resistor, (feedback zero). This capacitor
lowers the closed-loop 3dB bandwidth. The bandwidth
cannot be made arbitrarily low because C
FB
is a short at
high frequency and the amplifier will appear configured
unity-gain. As an approximate guideline, make BW × A

= 200MHz. This expression expands to:

Reducing the Closed-Loop Bandwidth
Although it is possible to reduce the closed-loop band-
width by using a feedback zero, instability can occur if the
bandwidth is made too low. An alternate technique is to do
differential filtering at the input of the amplifier. This
technique filters the differential input signal, and the
differential noise, but does not filter common-mode noise.
Common-mode noise is rejected by the LT1189’s CMRR.
10MHz Bandwidth Limited Amplifier
Using the Shutdown Feature
The LT1189 has a unique feature that allows the amplifier
to be shutdown for conserving power, or for multiplexing
several amplifiers onto a common cable. The amplifier will
shutdown by taking pin 5 to V
. In shutdown, the amplifier
dissipates 15mW while maintaining a true high impedance
output state of about 20k in parallel with the feedback
resistors. For MUX applications, the amplifiers may be
configured inverting, non-inverting, or differential. When
the output is loaded with as little as 1k from the amplifier’s
feedback resistors, the amplifier shuts off in 600ns. This
shutoff can be under the control of HC CMOS operating
between 0V and –5V.

The ability to maintain shutoff is shown on the curve Shut
down Supply Current vs Temperature in the Typical Per-
formance Characteristics section. At very high elevated
temperature it is important to hold the shutdown pin close
to the negative supply to keep the supply current from
increasing.
