EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C-
General Description
The EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C are single/dual/quad current-feed-
back operational amplifiers that achieve a -3dB bandwidth of 250MHz
at a gain of +1 while consuming only 3mA of supply current per
amplifier. They will operate with dual supplies ranging from ±1.5V to
±6V or from single supplies ranging from +3V to +12V. In spite of
their low supply current, the EL2480C and the EL2280C can output
55mA while swinging to ±4V on ±5V supplies. The EL2180C can out-
put 100mA with similar output swings. These attributes make the
EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C excellent choices for low power and/or
low voltage cable driver, HDSL, or RGB applications.
For applications where board space is extremely critical, the EL2180C
is available in the tiny 5-pin SOT23 package, with a footprint size 28%
of an 8-pin SO. The EL2480C is also available in a 24-pin LPP pack-
age. All are specified for operation over the full -40°C to +85°C
temperature range.
Single, dual, and triple versions are also available with the enable
function (EL2186C, EL2286C, and EL2386C).

Applications Information
Product Description
The EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C are current-feedback
operational amplifiers that offer a wide -3dB bandwidth
of 250MHz and a low supply current of 3mA per ampli-
fier. All of these products also feature high output
current drive. The EL2180C can output 100mA, while
the EL2280C and the EL2480C can output 55mA per
amplifier. The EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C work with
supply voltages ranging from a single 3V to ±6V and
they are also capable of swinging to within 1V of either
supply on the input and the output. Because of their cur-
rent-feedback topology, the EL2180C/EL2280C/
EL2480C do not have the normal gain-bandwidth prod-
uct associated with voltage-feedback operational
amplifiers. This allows their -3dB bandwidth to remain
relatively constant as closed-loop gain is increased. This
combination of high bandwidth and low power, together
with aggressive pricing make the EL2180C/EL2280C/
EL2480C the ideal choice for many low-power/high-
bandwidth applications such as portable computing,
HDSL, and video processing.
For applications where board space is extremely critical,
the EL2180C is available in the tiny 5-pin SOT23 pack-
age, which has a footprint 28% the size of an 8-pin SO.
The EL2480C is available in the 24-pin LPP package,
offering board space savings and better power dissipa-
tion compared to the SO and PDIP packages. The
EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C are each also available in
industry-standard pinouts in PDIP and SO packages.
For single, dual, and triple applications with disable,
consider the EL2186C (8-pin single), EL2286C (14-pin
dual), and EL2386C (16-pin triple). If lower power is
required, refer to the EL2170C/EL2176C family which
provides singles, duals, and quads with 70MHz of band-
width while consuming 1mA of supply current per
amplifier.
Power Supply Bypassing and Printed Circuit
Board Layout
As with any high-frequency device, good printed circuit
board layout is necessary for optimum performance.
Ground plane construction is highly recommended.
Lead lengths should be as short as possible. The power
supply pins must be well bypassed to reduce the risk of
oscillation. The combination of a 4.7µF tantalum capac-
itor in parallel with a 0.1µF capacitor has been shown to
work well when placed at each supply pin.
For good AC performance, parasitic capacitance should
be kept to a minimum especially at the inverting input
(see the Capacitance at the Inverting Input section).
Ground plane construction should be used, but it should
be removed from the area near the inverting input to
minimize any stray capacitance at that node. Carbon or
Metal-Film resistors are acceptable with the Metal-Film
resistors giving slightly less peaking and bandwidth
because of their additional series inductance. Use of
sockets, particularly for the SO package, should be
avoided if possible. Sockets add parasitic inductance and
capacitance which will result in some additional peaking
and overshoot.
Capacitance at the Inverting Input
Any manufacturer's high-speed voltage- or current-feed-
back amplifier can be affected by stray capacitance at
the inverting input. For inverting gains this parasitic
capacitance has little effect because the inverting input is
a virtual ground, but for non-inverting gains this capaci-
tance (in conjunction with the feedback and gain
resistors) creates a pole in the feedback path of the
amplifier. This pole, if low enough in frequency, has the
same destabilizing effect as a zero in the forward open-
loop response. The use of large value feedback and gain
resistors further exacerbates the problem by further low-
ering the pole frequency.
The experienced user with a large amount of PC board
layout experience may find in rare cases that the
EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C have less bandwidth than
expected.
The reduction of feedback resistor values (or the addi-
tion of a very small amount of external capacitance at
the inverting input, e.g. 0.5pF) will increase bandwidth
as desired. Please see the curves for Frequency
Response for Various RF and RG, and Frequency
Response for Various CIN-.

EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C-Preliminary
Feedback Resistor Values
The EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C have been designed
and specified at gains of +1 and +2 with RF = 750 in
PDIP and SO packages and RF = 560 in 5-pin SOT23
package. These values of feedback resistors give
250MHz of -3dB bandwidth at AV = +1 with about
2.5dB of peaking, and 180MHz of -3dB bandwidth at
AV = +2 with about 0.1dB of peaking. The 5-pin SOT23
package is characterized with a smaller value of feed-
back resistor, for a given bandwidth, to compensate for
lower parasitics within both the package itself and the
printed circuit board where it will be placed. Since the
EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C are current-feedback
amplifiers, it is also possible to change the value of RF to
get more bandwidth. As seen in the curve of Frequency
Response For Various RF and RG, bandwidth and peak-
ing can be easily modified by varying the value of the
feedback resistor.
Because the EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C are current-
feedback amplifiers, their gain-bandwidth product is not
a constant for different closed-loop gains. This feature
actually allows the EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C to
maintain about the same -3dB bandwidth, regardless of
closed-loop gain. However, as closed-loop gain is
increased, bandwidth decreases slightly while stability
increases. Since the loop stability is improving with
higher closed-loop gains, it becomes possible to reduce
the value of RF below the specified 560 and 750 and
still retain stability, resulting in only a slight loss of
bandwidth with increased closed-loop gain.
Supply Voltage Range and Single-Supply
Operation
The EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C have been designed
to operate with supply voltages having a span of greater
than 3V, and less than 12V. In practical terms, this
means that the EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C will oper-
ate on dual supplies ranging from ±1.5V to ±6V. With a
single-supply, the EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C will
operate from +3V to +12V.
As supply voltages continue to decrease, it becomes nec-
essary to provide input and output voltage ranges that
can get as close as possible to the supply voltages. The
EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C have an input voltage
range that extends to within 1V of either supply. So, for
example, on a single +5V supply, the EL2180C/
EL2280C/EL2480C have an input range which spans
from 1V to 4V. The output range of the
EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C is also quite large,
extending to within 1V of the supply rail. On a ±5V sup-
ply, the output is therefore capable of swinging from----
-4V to +4V. Single-supply output range is even larger
because of the increased negative swing due to the exter-
nal pull-down resistor to ground. On a single +5V
supply, output voltage range is about 0.3V to 4V.
Video Performance
For good video performance, an amplifier is required to
maintain the same output impedance and the same fre-
quency response as DC levels are changed at the output.
This is especially difficult when driving a standard video
load of 150, because of the change in output current
with DC level. Until the EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C,
good Differential Gain could only be achieved by run-
ning high idle currents through the output transistors (to
reduce variations in output impedance). These currents
were typically comparable to the entire 3mA supply cur-
rent of each EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C amplifier!
Special circuitry has been incorporated in the
EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C to reduce the variation of
output impedance with current output. This results in dG
and dP specifications of 0.05% and 0.05° while driving
150 at a gain of +2.
Video Performance has also been measured with a 500
load at a gain of +1. Under these conditions, the
EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C have dG and dP specifi-
cations of 0.01% and 0.01° respectively while driving
500 at AV = +1.
Output Drive Capability
In spite of its low 3mA of supply current, the EL2180C
is capable of providing a minimum of ±80mA of output
current. Similarly, each amplifier of the EL2280C and
the EL2480C is capable of providing a minimum of
±50mA. These output drive levels are unprecedented in
amplifiers running at these supply currents. With a min-
imum ±80mA of output drive, the EL2180C is capable
of driving 50 loads to ±4V, making it an excellent
choice for driving isolation transformers in telecommu-
nications applications. Similarly, the ±50mA minimum

EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C-Preliminary
output drive of each EL2280C and EL2480C amplifier
allows swings of ±2.5V into 50 loads.
Driving Cables and Capacitive Loads
When used as a cable driver, double termination is
always recommended for reflection-free performance.
For those applications, the back-termination series resis-
tor will decouple the EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C
from the cable and allow extensive capacitive drive.
However, other applications may have high capacitive
loads without a back-termination resistor. In these appli-
cations, a small series resistor (usually between 5 and
50) can be placed in series with the output to eliminate
most peaking. The gain resistor (RG) can then be chosen
to make up for any gain loss which may be created by
this additional resistor at the output. In many cases it is
also possible to simply increase the value of the feed-
back resistor (RF) to reduce the peaking.
Current Limiting
The EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C have no internal cur-
rent-limiting circuitry. If any output is shorted, it is
possible to exceed the Absolute Maximum Ratings for
output current or power dissipation, potentially resulting
in the destruction of the device.
Power Dissipation
With the high output drive capability of the
EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C, it is possible to exceed
the 150°C Absolute Maximum junction temperature
under certain very high load current conditions. Gener-
ally speaking, when RL falls below about 25, it is
important to calculate the maximum junction tempera-
ture (TJMAX) for the application to determine if power-
supply voltages, load conditions, or package type need
to be modified for the EL2180C/EL2280C/EL2480C to
remain in the safe operating area. These parameters are
calculated as follows:
where:
TMAX = Maximum Ambient Temperature
θJA = Thermal Resistance of the Package
n = Number of Amplifiers in the Package
PDMAX = Maximum Power Dissipation of Each
Amplifier in the Package
PDMAX for each amplifier can be calculated as follows:
where:
VS = Supply Voltage
ISMAX = Maximum Supply Current of 1 Amplifier
VOUTMAX = Maximum Output Voltage of the
Application
