It exhibits Rail-to-Rail input and output capability, and has low power consumption (500A per buffer). These features make the EL5421C ideal for a wide range of general-purpose applications. When driving a load of 10k and 12pF, the EL5421C has a -3dB bandwidth of 12 MHz and exhibits 10V/S slew rate. The EL5421C will limit the short circuit current to +/120mA if the output is directly shorted to the positive or the negative supply. If an output is shorted indefinitely, the power dissipation could easily increase such that the device may be damaged. Maximum reliability is maintained if the output continuous current never exceeds +/30 mA. This limit is set by the design of the internal metal interconnects. Operating Voltage, Input, and Output Output Phase Reversal The EL5421C is specified with a single nominal supply voltage from 5V to 15V or a split supply with its total range from 5V to 15V. Correct operation is guaranteed for a supply range of 4.5V to 16.5V. Most EL5421C specifications are stable over both the full supply range and operating temperatures of -40 C to +85 C. Parame t e r v a ri a t i o n s w i t h o p e ra ti n g v o l t a g e a n d / o r temperature are shown in the typical performance curves. The EL5421C is immune to phase reversal as long as the input voltage is limited from VS- - 0.5V to VS+ +0.5V. Figure 2 shows a photo of the output of the device with the input voltage driven beyond the supply rails. Although the device's output will not change phase, the input's overvoltage should be avoided. If an input voltage exceeds supply voltage by more than 0.6V, electrostatic protection diodes placed in the input stage of the device begin to conduct and overvoltage damage could occur. The output swings of the EL5421C typically extend to within 80mV of positive and negative supply rails with load currents of 5mA. Decreasing load currents will extend the output voltage range even closer to the supply rails. Figure 1 shows the input and output waveforms for the device. Operation is from +/-5V supply with a 10k load connected to GND. The input is a 10Vp-p sinusoid. The output voltage is approximately 9.985 VP-P. 5V 1V 10S VS=2.5V TA=25C VIN=6VP-P 10S Input 1V VS=5V TA=25C VIN=10VP-P Figure 2.

Operation with Rail-to-Rail Input and Output With the high-output drive capability of the EL5421C buffer, it is possible to exceed the 125C 'absolute-maximum junction temperature' under certain load current 10 conditions. Therefore, it is important to calculate the maximum junction temperature for the application to determine if load conditions need to be modified for the buffer to remain in the safe operating area. i = 1 to 4 for Quad VS = Total Supply Voltage ISMAX = Maximum Supply Current Per Channel VOUTi = Maximum Output Voltage of the Application ILOADi = Load current The maximum power dissipation allowed in a package is determined according to: If we set the two PDMAX equations equal to each other, we can solve for RLOADi to avoid device overheat. Figure 3 and Figure 4 provide a convenient way to see if the device will overheat. The maximum safe power dissipation can be found graphically, based on the package type and the ambient temperature. By using the previous equation, it is a simple matter to see if PDMAX exceeds the device's power derating curves. To ensure proper operation, it is important to observe the recommended derating curves shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4.

If less peaking is desired in these applications, a small series resistor (usually between 5 and 50 ) can be placed in series with the output. However, this will obviously reduce the gain slightly. Another method of reducing peaking is to add a "snubber" circuit at the output. A snubber is a shunt load consisting of a resistor in series with a capacitor. Values of 150 and 10nF are typical. The advantage of a snubber is that it does not draw any DC load current or reduce the gain 1200 1000 Power Dissipation (mW) EL5421C EL5421C 800 MAX TJ=125C 600 485mW 400 MS OP 10 200 --- J A =2 06 C /W 0 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 Power Supply Bypassing and Printed Circuit Board Layout Ambient Temperature (C) SEMI G42-88 Single Layer Test Board The EL5421C can provide gain at high frequency. 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 and the power supply pins must be well bypassed to reduce the risk of oscillation. For normal single supply operation, where the VS- pin is connected to ground, a 0.1 F ceramic capacitor should be placed from VS+ to pin to VS- pin. A 4.7F tantalum capacitor should then be connected in parallel, placed in the region of the buffer. One 4.7F capacitor may be used for multiple devices. This same capacitor combination should be placed at each supply pin to ground if split supplies are to be used. Figure 4. Package Power dissipation vs Ambient Temperature Unused Buffers It is recommended that any unused buffer have the input tied to the ground plane. Driving Capacitive Loads The EL5421C can drive a wide range of capacitive loads. As load capacitance increases, however, the -3dB bandwidth of the device will decrease and the peaking increase.
