Low Distortion Amplifier
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAMS
8-Lead Plastic SOIC (R-8) 5-Lead SOT-23 (RT-5)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD8009 is an ultrahigh speed current feedback amplifier
with a phenomenal 5,500 V/µs slew rate that results in a rise
time of 545 ps, making it ideal as a pulse amplifier.
The high slew rate reduces the effect of slew rate limiting and
results in the large signal bandwidth of 440 MHz required for
high resolution video graphic systems. Signal quality is main-
tained over a wide bandwidth with worst-case distortion of
–40 dBc @ 250 MHz (G = +10, 1 V p-p). For applications with
multitone signals, such as IF signal chains, the third order
intercept (3IP) of 12 dBm is achieved at the same frequency. This
distortion performance coupled with the current feedback
architecture make the AD8009 a flexible component for a gain
stage amplifier in IF/RF signal chains.
The AD8009 is capable of delivering over 175 mA of load current
and will drive four back terminated video loads while maintaining
low differential gain and phase error of 0.02% and 0.04°,
respectively. The high drive capability is also reflected in the
ability to deliver 10 dBm of output power @ 70 MHz with
–38 dBc SFDR.
The AD8009 is available in a small SOIC package and will
operate over the industrial temperature range –40°C to +85°C.
The AD8009 is also available in an SOT-23-5 and will operate
over the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

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 AD8009 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.

NOTES
1
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause perma-
nent 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.

Specification is for device in free air:
8-Lead SOIC Package: θ

= 155°C/W.
5-Lead SOT-23 Package: θ
JA
= 240°C/W.
MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the AD8009
is limited by the associated rise in junction temperature. The maxi-
mum safe junction temperature for plastic encapsulated devices
is determined by the glass transition temperature 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 tempera-
ture of 175°C for an extended period can result in device failure.
While the AD8009 is internally short circuit protected, this may
not be sufficient to guarantee that the maximum junction tempera-
ture (150°C) is not exceeded under all conditions. To ensure
proper operation, it is necessary to observe the maximum power
derating curves.

TPC 38. Frequency Response of Band-Pass Filter Circuit
APPLICATIONS
All current feedback op amps are affected by stray capacitance
on their –INPUT. TPCs 35 and 36 illustrate the AD8009’s
response to such capacitance.
TPC 35 shows the bandwidth can be extended by placing a
capacitor in parallel with the gain resistor. The small signal pulse
response corresponding to such an increase in capacitance/band-
width is shown in TPC 36.
As a practical consideration, the higher the capacitance on the
INPUT to GND, the higher R
F
needs to be to minimize
peaking/ringing.
RF Filter Driver
The output drive capability, wide bandwidth, and low distortion
of the AD8009 are well suited for creating gain blocks that can
drive RF filters. Many of these filters require that the input be
driven by a 50 source, while the output must be terminated in
50 for the filters to exhibit their specified frequency response.
TPC 37 shows a circuit for driving and measuring the frequency
response of a filter, a Wavetek 5201 tunable band-pass filter that
is tuned to a 50 MHz center frequency. The HP8753D network
provides a stimulus signal for the measurement. The analyzer has
a 50 source impedance that drives a cable that is terminated in
50 at the high impedance noninverting input of the AD8009.
The AD8009 is set at a gain of +2. The series 50 resistor at the
output, along with the 50 termination provided by the filter and
its termination, yield an overall unity gain for the measured
path. The frequency response plot of TPC 38 shows the circuit
to have an insertion loss of 1.3 dB in the pass band and about
75 dB rejection in the stop band.

Figure 4. Driving an Additional High Resolution Monitor Using Three AD8009s
RGB Monitor Driver
High resolution computer monitors require very high full power
bandwidth signals to maximize their display resolution. The
RGB signals that drive these monitors are generally provided by
a current-out RAMDAC that can directly drive a 75 doubly
terminated line.
There are times when the same output wants to be delivered to
additional monitors. The termination provided internally by
each monitor prohibits the ability to simply connect a second
monitor in parallel with the first. Additional buffering must be
provided.
Figure 4 shows a connection diagram for two high resolution
monitors being driven by an ADV7160 or ADV7162, a 220 MHz
(Megapixel per second) triple RAMDAC. This pixel rate
requires a driver whose full power bandwidth is at least half the
pixel rate or 110 MHz. This is to provide good resolution for a
worst-case signal that swings between zero scale and full scale
on adjacent pixels.
The primary monitor is connected in the conventional fashion
with a 75 termination to ground at each end of the 75
cable. Sometimes this configuration is called “doubly termi-
nated” and is used when the driver is a high output impedance
current source.
For the additional monitor, each of the RGB signals close to the
RAMDAC output is applied to a high input impedance, noninvert-
ing input of an AD8009 that is configured for a gain of +2. The
outputs each drive a series 75 resistor, cable, and termination
resistor in the monitor that divides the output signal by two, thus
providing an overall unity gain. This scheme is referred to as
“back termination” and is used when the driver is a low output
impedance voltage source. Back termination requires that the
voltage of the signal be double the value that the monitor sees.
Double termination requires that the output current be double the
value that flows in the monitor termination.

AD8009
Driving a Capacitive Load
A capacitive load, like that presented by some A/D converters,
can sometimes be a challenge for an op amp to drive depending
on the architecture of the op amp. Most of the problem is caused
by the pole created by the output impedance of the op amp and
the capacitor that is driven. This creates extra phase shift that
can eventually cause the op amp to become unstable.
One way to prevent instability and improve settling time when
driving a capacitor is to insert a resistor in series between the
op amp output and the capacitor. The feedback resistor is still
connected directly to the output of the op amp, while the series
resistor provides some isolation of the capacitive load from the
op amp output.

Figure 5. Capacitive Load Drive Circuit
Figure 5 shows such a circuit with an AD8009 driving a 50 pF
load. With R
S
= 0, the AD8009 circuit will be unstable. For a
gain of +2 and +10, it was found experimentally that setting R
S
to 42.2 will minimize the 0.1% settling time with a 2 V step at
the output. The 0.1% settling time was measured to be 40 ns with
this circuit.
For smaller capacitive loads, a smaller R
S
will yield optimal
settling time, while a larger R
S
will be required for larger capacitive
loads. Of course, a larger capacitance will always require more
time for settling to a given accuracy than a smaller one, and this
will be lengthened by the increase in R
S
required. At best, a
given RC combination will require about seven time constants
by itself to settle to 0.1%, so a limit will be reached where too
large a capacitance cannot be driven by a given op amp and still
meet the system’s required settling time specification.
