AD8002
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD8002 is a dual, low-power, high-speed amplifier designed
to operate on ±5 V supplies. The AD8002 features unique trans-
impedance linearization circuitry. This allows it to drive video
loads with excellent differential gain and phase performance on
only 50 mW of power per amplifier. The AD8002 is a current
feedback amplifier and features gain flatness of 0.1 dB to 60 MHz
while offering differential gain and phase error of 0.01% and
0.02°. This makes the AD8002 ideal for professional video
electronics such as cameras and video switchers. Additionally,
the AD8002’s low distortion and fast settling make it ideal for
buffer high-speed A-to-D converters.
The AD8002 offers low power of 5.5 mA/amplifier max (V
S
=
±5 V) and can run on a single 12 V power supply, while capable
of delivering over 70 mA of load current. It is offered in an
8-lead plastic DIP, SOIC, and µSOIC package. These features
make this amplifier ideal for portable and battery-powered
applications where size and power are critical.
The outstanding bandwidth of 600 MHz along with 1200 V/µs
of slew rate make the AD8002 useful in many general purpose
high speed applications where dual power supplies of up to ±6 V
and single supplies from 6 V to 12 V are needed. The AD8002 is
available in the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause perma-

device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the
AD8002 is limited by the associated rise in junction tempera-
ture. The maximum safe junction temperature for plastic
encapsulated devices is determined by the glass transition tem-
perature of the plastic, approximately 150°C. Exceeding this
limit temporarily may cause a shift in parametric performance
due to a change in the stresses exerted on the die by the package.
Exceeding a junction temperature of 175°C for an extended
period can result in device failure.
While the AD8002 is internally short circuit protected, this
may not be sufficient to guarantee that the maximum junction
temperature (150°C) is not exceeded under all conditions. To
ensure proper operation, it is necessary to observe the maximum
power derating curves.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD8002 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

THEORY OF OPERATION
A very simple analysis can put the operation of the AD8002, a
current feedback amplifier, in familiar terms. Being a current
feedback amplifier, the AD8002’s open-loop behavior is expressed
as transimpedance, ∆V
O
/∆I
–IN
, or T
Z
. The open-loop transim-
pedance behaves just as the open-loop voltage gain of a voltage
feedback amplifier, that is, it has a large dc value and decreases
at roughly 6 dB/octave in frequency.
Since the R
IN
is proportional to 1/g
m
, the equivalent voltage
gain is just T
Z
× g
m
, where the g
m
in question is the trans-
conductance of the input stage. This results in a low open-loop
input impedance at the inverting input, a now familiar result.
Using this amplifier as a follower with gain, Figure 4, basic
analysis yields the following result.

Recognizing that G × R
IN
<< R1 for low gains, it can be seen to
the first order that bandwidth for this amplifier is independent
of gain (G).
Considering that additional poles contribute excess phase at
high frequencies, there is a minimum feedback resistance below
which peaking or oscillation may result. This fact is used to
determine the optimum feedback resistance, R
F
. In practice
parasitic capacitance at the inverting input terminal will also add
phase in the feedback loop, so picking an optimum value for R
F
can be difficult.
Achieving and maintaining gain flatness of better than 0.1 dB at
frequencies above 10 MHz requires careful consideration of
several issues.
Choice of Feedback and Gain Resistors
The fine scale gain flatness will, to some extent, vary with
feedback resistance. It, therefore, is recommended that once
optimum resistor values have been determined, 1% tolerance
values should be used if it is desired to maintain flatness over a
wide range of production lots. In addition, resistors of different
construction have different associated parasitic capacitance
and inductance. Surface mount resistors were used for the bulk
of the characterization for this data sheet. It is not recommended
that leaded components be used with the AD8002.
Printed Circuit Board Layout Considerations
As expected for a wideband amplifier, PC board parasitics can
affect the overall closed-loop performance. Of concern are
stray capacitances at the output and the inverting input nodes. If
a ground plane is to be used on the same side of the board as
the signal traces, a space (5 mm min) should be left around the
signal lines to minimize coupling. Additionally, signal lines
connecting the feedback and gain resistors should be short
enough so that their associated inductance does not cause high
frequency gain errors. Line lengths on the order of less than
5 mm are recommended. If long runs of coaxial cable are being
driven, dispersion and loss must be considered.
Power Supply Bypassing
Adequate power supply bypassing can be critical when optimiz-
ing the performance of a high-frequency circuit. Inductance in
the power supply leads can form resonant circuits that produce
peaking in the amplifier’s response. In addition, if large current
transients must be delivered to the load, bypass capacitors
(typically greater than 1 µF) will be required to provide the
best settling time and lowest distortion. A parallel combina-
tion of 4.7 µF and 0.1 µF is recommended. Some brands of
electrolytic capacitors will require a small series damping resis-
tor ≈4.7 Ω for optimum results.
DC Errors and Noise
There are three major noise and offset terms to consider in a
current feedback amplifier. For offset errors, refer to the equa-
tion below. For noise error, the terms are root-sum-squared to
give a net output error. In the circuit shown in Figure 5 they
are input offset (V
IO
), which appears at the output multiplied by
the noise gain of the circuit (1 + R
F
/R
I
), noninverting input
current (I
BN
× R
N
), also multiplied by the noise gain, and the
inverting input current, which, when divided between R
F
and R
I
and subsequently multiplied by the noise gain, always appears
at the output as I
BN
× R
F
. The input voltage noise of the AD8002
is a low 2 nV/√Hz. At low gains, though, the inverting input
current noise times R
F
is the dominant noise source. Careful
layout and device matching contribute to better offset and
drift specifications for the AD8002 compared to many other
current feedback amplifiers. The typical performance curves in
conjunction with the equations below can be used to predict the
performance of the AD8002 in any application.

Driving Capacitive Loads
The AD8002 was designed primarily to drive nonreactive loads.
If driving loads with a capacitive component is desired, best

Communications
Distortion is a key specification in communications applications.
Intermodulation distortion (IMD) is a measure of the ability of
an amplifier to pass complex signals without the generation of
spurious harmonics. The third order products are usually the
most problematic since several of them fall near the fundamen-
tals and do not lend themselves to filtering. Theory predicts that
the third order harmonic distortion components increase in
power at three times the rate of the fundamental tones. The
specification of third order intercept as the virtual point where
fundamental and harmonic power are equal is one standard mea-
sure of distortion performance. Op amps used in closed-loop
applications do not always obey this simple theory. At a gain of
two, the AD8002 has performance summarized in Figure 8. Here
the worst third order products are plotted versus. input power.
The third order intercept of the AD8002 is 33 dBm at 10 MHz.

Operation as a Video Line Driver
The AD8002 has been designed to offer outstanding perfor-
mance as a video line driver. The important specifications of
differential gain (0.01%) and differential phase (0.02°) meet the
most exacting HDTV demands for driving one video load with
each amplifier. The AD8002 also drives four back-terminated
loads (two each), as shown in Figure 9, with equally impressive
performance (0.01%, 0.07°). Another important consideration
is isolation between loads in a multiple load application. The
AD8002 has more than 40 dB of isolation at 5 MHz when driv-
ing two 75 Ω back-terminated loads.

Driving A-to-D Converters
The AD8002 is well suited for driving high-speed analog-to-
digital converters such as the AD9058. The AD9058 is a dual
8-bit 50 MSPS ADC. In Figure 10, the AD8002 is shown driv-
ing the inputs of the AD9058 which are configured for 0 V to 2 V
ranges. Bipolar input signals are buffered, amplified (–2×), and
offset (by 1.0 V) into the proper input range of the ADC. Using

the AD9058’s internal 2 V reference connected to both ADCs

nents required to create a complete data acquisition system. The
20 Ω resistors in series with ADC inputs are used to help the

Single-Ended-to-Differential Driver Using an AD8002
The two halves of an AD8002 can be configured to create a
single-ended-to-differential high-speed driver with a –3dB
bandwidth in excess of 200 MHz, as shown in Figure 11. Although
the individual op amps are each current feedback, the overall
architecture yields a circuit with attributes normally associated
with voltage feedback amplifiers, while offering the speed advan-
tages inherent in current feedback amplifiers. In addition, the gain
of the circuit can be changed by varying a single resistor, R
F
,
which is often not possible in a dual op amp differential driver.

Figure 11. Differential Line Driver
The current feedback nature of the op amps, in addition to
enabling the wide bandwidth, provides an output drive of more
than 3 V p-p into a 20 Ω load for each output at 20 MHz. On the
other hand, the voltage feedback nature provides symmetrical
high impedance inputs and allows the use of reactive compo-
nents in the feedback network.
The circuit consists of the two op amps, each configured as a
unity gain follower by the 511 Ω R
A
feedback resistors between
each op amp’s output and inverting input. The output of each op
amp has a 511 Ω R
B
resistor to the inverting input of the other
op amp. Thus, each output drives the other op amp through a
unity gain inverter configuration. By connecting the two amplifi-
ers as cross-coupled inverters, their outputs are freed to be equal
and opposite, assuring zero-output common-mode voltage.
With this circuit configuration, the common-mode signal of the
outputs is reduced. If one output moves slightly higher, the nega-
tive input to the other op amp drives its output to go slightly
lower and thus preserves the symmetry of the complementary
outputs, which reduces the common-mode signal. The common-
mode output signal was measured to be –50 dB at 1 MHz.
Looking at this configuration overall, there are two high imped-
ance inputs (the + inputs of each op amp), two low impedance
outputs, and high open-loop gain. If we consider the two nonin-
verting inputs and just the output of Op Amp #2, the structure
looks like a voltage feedback op amp having two symmetrical,
high-impedance inputs, and one output. The +input to Op Amp
#2 is the noninverting input (it has the same polarity as Output
#2) and the +input to Amplifier #1 is the inverting input (oppo-
site polarity of Output #2).
With a feedback resistor R
F
, an input resistor R
G
, and grounding
of the +input of Op Amp #2, a feedback amplifier is formed.
This configuration is just like a voltage feedback amplifier in an
inverting configuration if only Output #2 is considered. The
addition of Output #1 makes the amplifier differential output.
The differential gain of this circuit is:
GR
R
R
R
F
G
A
B
=×+
1
The R
F
/R
G
term is the gain of the overall op amp configuration
and is the same as for an inverting op amp except for the polarity.
If Output #1 is used as the output reference, the gain is posi-
tive. The 1 + R
A
/R
B
term is the noise gain of each individual op
amp in its noninverting configuration.
The resulting architecture offers several advantages. First, the gain
can be changed by changing a single resistor. Changing either
R
F
or R
G
will change the gain as in an inverting op amp circuit.
For most types of differential circuits, more than one resistor
must be changed to change gain and still maintain good CMR.
Reactive elements can be used in the feedback network. This is
in contrast to current feedback amplifiers that restrict the use of
reactive elements in the feedback. The circuit described requires
about 0.9 pF of capacitance in shunt across R
F
in order to optimize
peaking and realize a –3 dB bandwidth of more than 200 MHz.
The peaking exhibited by the circuit is very sensitive to the value
of this capacitor. Parasitics in the board layout on the order of
tenths of picofarads will influence the frequency response and
the value required for the feedback capacitor, so a good lay-
out is essential.
The shunt capacitor type selection is also critical. A good micro-
wave type chip capacitor with high Q was found to yield best
performance. The part selected for this circuit was a muRata
Erie part number MA280R9B.
The distortion was measured at 20 MHz with a 3 V p-p input
and a 100 Ω load on each output. For Output #1 the distortion
is –37 dBc and –41 dBc for the second and third harmonics
respectively. For Output #2 the second harmonic is –35 dBc
and the third harmonic is –43 dBc.

Layout Considerations
The specified high-speed performance of the AD8002 requires
careful attention to board layout and component selection.
Proper R
F
design techniques and low parasitic component selec-
tion are mandatory.
The PCB should have a ground plane covering all unused por-
tions of the component side of the board to provide a low
impedance ground path. The ground plane should be removed
from the area near the input pins to reduce stray capacitance.
Chip capacitors should be used for supply bypassing (see Figure
13). One end should be connected to the ground plane and the
other within 1/8 in. of each power pin. An additional large tanta-
lum electrolytic capacitor (4.7 µF–10 µF) should be connected in
parallel, but not necessarily so close, to supply current for fast,
large-signal changes at the output.
The feedback resistor should be located close to the inverting
input pin in order to keep the stray capacitance at this node to a
minimum. Capacitance variations of less than 1 pF at the invert-
ing input will significantly affect high-speed performance.
Stripline design techniques should be used for long signal traces
(greater than about 1 in.). These should be designed with a
characteristic impedance of 50 Ω or 75 Ω and be properly termi-
nated at each end.
