Low Noise, High Speed Amplifier for 16-Bit Systems AD8021 ADC preamps and drivers Instrumentation preamps Active filters Portable instrumentation Line receivers Precision instruments Ultrasound signal processing High gain circuits GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD8021 is an exceptionally high performance, high speed voltage feedback amplifier that can be used in 16-bit resolution systems. It is designed to have both low voltage and low current noise (2.1 nV/Hz typical and 2.1 pA/Hz typical) while operating at the lowest quiescent supply current (7 mA @ 5 V) among today's high speed, low noise op amps. The AD8021 operates over a wide range of supply voltages from 2.25 V to 12 V, as well as from single 5 V supplies, making it ideal for high speed, low power instruments. An output disable pin allows further reduction of the quiescent supply current to 1.3 mA. LOGIC 1 REFERENCE AD8021 8 DISABLE -IN 2 7 +VS +IN 3 6 VOUT -VS 4 5 CCOMP Figure 1. SOIC-8 (R-8) and MSOP-8 (RM-8) The AD8021 allows the user to choose the gain bandwidth product that best suits the application. With a single capacitor, the user can compensate the AD8021 for the desired gain with little trade-off in bandwidth. The AD8021 is a well-behaved amplifier that settles to 0.01% in 23 ns for a 1 V step. It has a fast overload recovery of 50 ns. The AD8021 is stable over temperature with low input offset voltage drift and input bias current drift, 0.5 V/C and 10 nA/C, respectively. The AD8021 is also capable of driving a 75 line with 3 V video signals. The AD8021 is both technically superior and priced considerably less than comparable amps drawing much higher quiescent current. The AD8021 is a high speed, general-purpose amplifier, ideal for a wide variety of gain configurations and can be used throughout a signal processing chain and in control loops. The AD8021 is available in both standard 8-lead SOIC and MSOP packages in the industrial temperature range of -40C to +85C. 24 21 VOUT = 50mV p-p 18 G = -10, RF = 1k, RG = 100, RIN = 100, CC = 0pF 15 12 G = -5, RF = 1k, RG = 200, RIN = 66.5, CC = 1.5pF 9 6 3 0 -3 -6 0.1M G = -2, RF = 499, RG = 249, RIN = 63.4, CC = 4pF G = -1, RF = 499, RG = 499, RIN = 56.2, CC = 7pF 1M 10M FREQUENCY (Hz) 01888-002 APPLICATIONS CONNECTION DIAGRAM CLOSED-LOOP GAIN (dB) Low noise 2.1 nV/Hz input voltage noise 2.1 pA/Hz input current noise Custom compensation Constant bandwidth from G = -1 to G = -10 High speed 200 MHz (G = -1) 190 MHz (G = -10) Low power 34 mW or 6.7 mA typical for 5 V supply Output disable feature, 1.3 mA Low distortion -93 dBc second harmonic, fC = 1 MHz -108 dBc third harmonic, fC = 1 MHz DC precision 1 mV maximum input offset voltage 0.5 V/C input offset voltage drift Wide supply range, 5 V to 24 V Low price Small packaging Available in SOIC-8 and MSOP-8 01888-001 FEATURES 100M 1G Figure 2.

Current-limiting resistors are not used to preserve the low noise. If a differential input exceeds 0.8 V, the input current should be limited to 10 mA. The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the AD8021 is limited by the associated rise in junction temperature. The maximum safe junction temperature for plastic encapsulated devices is determined by the glass transition temperature of the plastic, approximately 150C. Temporarily exceeding this limit can 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 175C for an extended period can result in device failure. While the AD8021 is internally short-circuit protected, this can not be sufficient to guarantee that the maximum junction temperature (150C) is not exceeded under all conditions. To ensure proper operation, it is necessary to observe the maximum power derating curves. Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the 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.

Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product 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. Rev.

When Pin 8 (DISABLE) is higher than Pin 1 (LOGIC REFERENCE) by approximately 2 V or more, the part is enabled. When Pin 8 is brought down to within about 1.5 V of Pin 1, the part is disabled. (See the Specifications tables for exact disable and enable voltage levels.) If the disable feature is not going to be used, Pin 8 can be tied to +VS or a logic high source, and Pin 1 can be tied to ground or logic low. Alternatively, if Pin 1 and Pin 8 are not connected, the part is in an enabled state. Rev.

However, by reducing CC to 0 pF, the bandwidth and phase margin return to about 200 MHz and 60 (Arrow C), respectively. In addition, the slew rate is dramatically increased, as it roughly varies with the inverse of CC. 10 Unlike the typical op amp with fixed compensation, the AD8021 allows the user to: Maximize the amplifier bandwidth for closed-loop gains between 1 and 10, avoiding the usual loss of bandwidth and slew rate.

The Noise Gain of Both is 5 01888-060 * 9 01888-059 COMPENSATION CAPACITANCE (pF) The typical voltage feedback op amp is frequency stabilized with a fixed internal capacitor, CINTERNAL, using dominant pole compensation. To a first-order approximation, voltage feedback op amps have a fixed gain bandwidth product. For example, if its -3 dB bandwidth is 200 MHz for a gain of G = +1; at a gain of G = +10, its bandwidth is only about 20 MHz. The AD8021 is a voltage feedback op amp with a minimal CINTERNAL of about 1.5 pF. By adding an external compensation capacitor, CC, the user can circumvent the fixed gain bandwidth limitation of other voltage feedback op amps. AD8021 CF = CL = 0, RL = 1 k, RIN = 49.9 (see Figure 49). Table 6.

Sometimes more bandwidth or slew rate is needed at a particular gain. Reducing the compensation capacitance, as illustrated in Figure 7, increases the bandwidth and peaking due to a decrease in phase margin. On the other hand, if more stability is needed, increasing the compensation capacitor decreases the bandwidth while increasing the phase margin. As with all high speed amplifiers, parasitic capacitance and inductance around the amplifier can affect its dynamic response. Often, the input capacitance (due to the op amp itself, as well as the PC board) has a significant effect. The feedback resistance, together with the input capacitance, can contribute to a loss of phase margin, thereby affecting the high frequency response, as shown in Figure 14. A capacitor (CF) in parallel with the feedback resistor can compensate for this phase loss. -3 dB SS BW (MHz) 490 205 185 150 42 6 Output Noise (AD8021 Only) (nV/Hz) 2.1 4.3 10.7 21.2 42.2 211.1 Output Noise (AD8021 with Resistors) (nV/Hz) 2.8 8.2 15.5 27.9 52.7 264.1 Additionally, any resistance in series with the source creates a pole with the input capacitance (as well as dampen high frequency resonance due to package and board inductance and capacitance), the effect of which is shown in Figure 15. It must also be noted that increasing resistor values increases the overall noise of the amplifier and that reducing the feedback resistor value increases the load on the output stage, thus increasing distortion (see Figure 22). USING THE DISABLE FEATURE When Pin 8 (DISABLE) is higher than Pin 1 (LOGIC REFERENCE) by approximately 2 V or more, the part is enabled. When Pin 8 is brought down to within about 1.5 V of Pin 1, the part is disabled. See Table 1 for exact disable and enable voltage levels. If the disable feature is not used, Pin 8 can be tied to VS or a logic high source, and Pin 1 can be tied to ground or logic low. Alternatively, if Pin 1 and Pin 8 are not connected, the part is in an enabled state. Rev. F | Page 20 of 28 AD8021 THEORY OF OPERATION The AD8021 is fabricated on the second generation of Analog Devices proprietary High Voltage eXtra-Fast Complementary Bipolar (XFCB) process, which enables the construction of PNP and NPN transistors with similar fTs in the 3 GHz region. The transistors are dielectrically isolated from the substrate (and each other), eliminating the parasitic and latch-up problems caused by junction isolation. It also reduces nonlinear capacitance (a source of distortion) and allows a higher transistor, fT, for a given quiescent current. The supply current is trimmed, which results in less part-to-part variation of bandwidth, slew rate, distortion, and settling time. As shown in Figure 61, the AD8021 input stage consists of an NPN differential pair in which each transistor operates at a 0.8 mA collector current. This allows the input devices a high transconductance; thus, the AD8021 has a low input noise of 2.1 nV/Hz @ 50 kHz. The input stage drives a folded cascode that consists of a pair of PNP transistors. The folded cascode and current mirror provide a differential-to-single-ended conversion of signal current. This current then drives the high impedance node (Pin 5), where the CC external capacitor is connected. The output stage preserves this high impedance with a current gain of 5000, so that the AD8021 can maintain a high open-loop gain even when driving heavy loads. Two internal diode clamps across the inputs (Pin 2 and Pin 3) protect the input transistors from large voltages that could otherwise cause emitter-base breakdown, which would result in degradation of offset voltage and input bias current. PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS As with all high speed op amps, achieving optimum performance from the AD8021 requires careful attention to PC board layout. Particular care must be exercised to minimize lead lengths between the ground leads of the bypass capacitors and between the compensation capacitor and the negative supply. Otherwise, lead inductance can influence the frequency response and even cause high frequency oscillations. Use of a multilayer printed circuit board, with an internal ground plane, reduces ground noise and enables a compact component arrangement. Due to the relatively high impedance of Pin 5 and low values of the compensation capacitor, a guard ring is recommended. The guard ring is simply a PC trace that encircles Pin 5 and is connected to the output, Pin 6, which is at the same potential as Pin 5. This serves two functions. It shields Pin 5 from any local circuit noise generated by surrounding circuitry. It also minimizes stray capacitance, which would tend to otherwise reduce the bandwidth. An example of a guard ring layout is shown in Figure 62. Also shown in Figure 62, the compensation capacitor is located immediately adjacent to the edge of the AD8021 package, spanning Pin 4 and Pin 5. This capacitor must be a high quality surfacemount COG or NPO ceramic. The use of leaded capacitors is not recommended. The high frequency bypass capacitor(s) should be located immediately adjacent to the supplies, Pin 4 and Pin 7. To achieve the shortest possible lead length at the inverting input, the feedback resistor RF is located beneath the board and spans the distance from the output, Pin 6, to inverting input Pin 2. The return node of Resistor RG should be situated as close as possible to the return node of the negative supply bypass capacitor connected to Pin 4. +VS OUTPUT +IN (TOP VIEW) CINTERNAL 1.5pF LOGIC REFERENCE 1 8 -IN 2 +VS 7 +IN 3 6 -VS 4 5 -IN CC Figure 61.

As seen in Figure 19, the harmonic distortion is better than 90 dBc at frequencies between 100 kHz and 1 MHz. This is an advantage for complex waveforms that contain high frequency information, because the phase and gain integrity of the sampled waveform can be preserved throughout the conversion process. The increase in loop gain results in improved output regulation and lower noise when the converter input changes state during a sample. This advantage is particularly apparent when using 16-bit high resolution ADCs with high sampling rates. Figure 63 shows a typical ADC driver configuration. The AD8021 is in an inverting gain of -7.5, fC is 65 kHz, and its output voltage is 10 V p-p.

If pairs of internally compensated op amps are configured as inverter and follower, the noise gain of the inverter is higher than that of the follower section, resulting in an imbalance in the frequency response (see Figure 66). Figure 65 illustrates an inverter-follower driver circuit operating at a gain of 2, using individually compensated AD8021s. The values of feedback and load resistors were selected to provide a total load of less than 1 k, and the equivalent resistances seen at each op amp's inputs were matched to minimize offset voltage and drift.

Frequency Response of the Filter Circuit of Figure 68 for Two Different Gains USING THE AD8021 IN ACTIVE FILTERS DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS The low noise and high gain bandwidth of the AD8021 make it an excellent choice in active filter circuits. Most active filter literature provides resistor and capacitor values for various filters but neglects the effect of the op amp's finite bandwidth on filter performance; ideal filter response with infinite loop gain is implied. Unfortunately, real filters do not behave in this manner. Instead, they exhibit finite limits of attenuation, depending on the gain bandwidth of the active device. Good low-pass filter performance requires an op amp with high gain bandwidth for attenuation at high frequencies, and low noise and high dc gain for low frequency, pass-band performance. When the AD8021 drives a capacitive load, the high frequency response can show excessive peaking before it rolls off. Two techniques can be used to improve stability at high frequency and reduce peaking. The first technique is to increase the compensation capacitor, CC, which reduces the peaking while maintaining gain flatness at low frequencies. The second technique is to add a resistor, RSNUB, in series between the output pin of the AD8021 and the capacitive load, CL. Figure 70 shows the response of the AD8021 when both CC and RSNUB are used to reduce peaking. For a given CL, Figure 71 can be used to determine the value of RSNUB that maintains 2 dB of peaking in the frequency response. Note, however, that using RSNUB attenuates the low frequency output by a factor of RLOAD/(RSNUB + RLOAD). Figure 68 shows the schematic of a 2-pole, low-pass active filter and lists typical component values for filters having a Besseltype response with a gain of 2 and a gain of 5.
