LM6317 120 MHz, Fast Settling, Low Power, Voltage Feedback Amplifier General Description Features (Typical unless otherwise noted) The LM6317 is a high speed, unity-gain stable voltage feedback amplifier that consumes only 40 mW of quiescent power. Operating at g 5V power supply, the LM6317 provides excellent AC performance such as 120 MHz of unity-gain bandwidth, 1500V/ms of slew rate, and 80 dB of SFDR. The LM6317 has the slew characteristic of a current feedback amplifier; yet it can be used in all traditional amplifier configurations. The high output current and good stability with capacitive load of LM6317 makes it ideal for driving cables. With its unity-gain stability, fast settling time and low output impedance, the LM6317 can be used to buffer A/D converters. The LM6317 also has very low input voltage and current noise, high CMRR and PSRR, desirable in precision applications such as ATE systems.

For discrete components, choose carbon composition-type resistors and mica-type capacitors. Surface mount components are preferred over decrete components for minimum inductive effect. Large values of feedback resistors can couple with parasitic capacitance and cause undersirable effects such as ringing or oscillation in high speed amplifiers. Feedback resistor value around 1 kX is recommended. LIMITS AND PRECAUTIONS The absolute maximum supply voltage which may be applied to the LM6317 is 12V. Designers should not design for more than 10V nominal, and carefully check supply tolerances under all conditions so that the voltages do not exceed the maximum. DIFFERENTIAL INPUT VOLTAGE Differential input voltage is the difference in voltage between the non-inverting ( a ) input and the inverting (b) input of the op amp. The absolute maximum differential input for the LM6317 is 10V across the inputs. This limit also applies when there is no power supplied to the op amp. This may not be a problem in most conventional op amp designs, however, designers should avoid using the LM6317 as comparators or forcing the inputs to different voltages. In some designs, diodes protection may be needed between the inputs, as shown in Figure 1 . COMPENSATION FOR INPUT CAPACITANCE The combination of an amplifier's input capacitance with the gain setting resistors adds a pole that can cause peaking or oscillation. To solve this problem, a feedback capacitor with a value CF l (RG c CIN)/RF can be used to cancel that pole. The value of CIN can be found in the DC Electrical Characteristics Table of the datasheet. Figure 2 illustrates the compensation circuit. TL/H/12542-20 FIGURE 1. Input Protection for LM6317 TL/H/12542 - 21 FIGURE 2. Compensating for Input Capacitance Layout Consideration Power Supply Bypassing PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS AND HIGH SPEED OP AMPS There are many things to consider when designing PC boards for high speed op amps. Without proper caution, it is very easy and frustrating to have excessive ringing, oscillation and other degraded AC performance in high speed circuits. As a rule, the signal traces should be short and wide to provide low inductance and low impedance paths. Any unused board space needs be grounded to reduce stray signal pickup. Critical components should also be grounded at a common point to eliminate voltage drop. Sockets add capacitance to the board and can affect frequency performance. It is better to solder the amplifier directly into the PC board without using any socket. Bypassing the power supply is necessary to maintain low power supply impedance across frequency. Both positive and negative power supplies should be bypassed individually by placing 0.01 mF creramic capacitors directly to power supply pins and 2.2 mF tantalum capacitors close to the power supply pins. USING PROBES Active (FET) probes are ideal for taking high frequency measurements because they have wide bandwidth, high input impedance and low input capacitance. However, the probe ground leads provide a long ground loop that will produce errors in measurement. Instead, the probes can be grounded directly by removing the ground leads and probe jackets and using scope probe jacks. TL/H/12542 - 22 FIGURE 3.

This op amp line includes LM6171 100 MHz low distortion amplifier with greater than 3000V/ms slew rate. Voltage feedback design draws only 2.5 mA. Specified at g 15V and g 5V supplies. LM7131 TinyPak (SOT23-5) video amplifier with 70 MHz gain bandwidth. Specified at 3V, 5V and g 5V supplies. LM7171 200 MHz voltage feedback amplifier with 100 mA output current and 4000V/ms slew rate. Supply current of 6.5 mA. Specified at g 15V and g 5V supplies. Information on these parts is available from your National Semiconductor representative. In high frequency applications, reflections occur if signals are not properly terminated. To minimize reflection, coaxial cable with matching characteristic impedance to the signal source should be used. The other end of the cable should be terminated with the same value terminator or resistor. For the commonly used cables. RG59 has 75X characteristics impedance, and RG58 has 50X characteristics impedance. Driving Capacitive Loads Amplifiers driving capacitive loads can oscillate or have ringing at the output. To eliminate oscillation or reduce ringing, an isolation resistor can be placed as shown below in Figure 4 . The combination of the isolation resistor and the load capacitor froms a pole to incease stability by adding more phase margin to the overall system. The desired performance depends on the value of the isolation resistor; the bigger the isolation resistor, the more damped the pulse response becomes. A 50X isolation resistor is recommended for initial evaluation. TL/H/12542 - 23 FIGURE 4.
