HS-1412RH
Radiation Hardened, Quad, High Speed,
Low Power, Video Closed Loop Buffer
The HS-1412RH is a radiation hardened quad closed loop
buffer featuring user programmable gain and high speed
performance. Manufactured on Intersil’s proprietary
complementary bipolar UHF-1 (DI bonded wafer) process,
this device offers wide -3dB bandwidth of 340MHz, very fast
slew rate, excellent gain flatness and high output current.
These devices are QML approved and are processed and
screened in full compliance with MIL-PRF-38535.
A unique feature of the pinout allows the user to select a
voltage gain of +1, -1, or +2, without the use of any external
components. Gain selection is accomplished via
connections to the inputs, as described in the “Application
Information” section. The result is a more flexible product,
fewer part types in inventory, and more efficient use of board
space.
Compatibility with existing op amp pinouts provides flexibility
to upgrade low gain amplifiers, while decreasing component
count. Unlike most buffers, the standard pinout provides an
upgrade path should a higher closed loop gain be needed at
a future date.

Application Information
HS-1412RH Advantages
The HS-1412RH features a novel design which allows the
user to select from three closed loop gains, without any
external components. The result is a more flexible product,
fewer part types in inventory, and more efficient use of board
space. Implementing a quad, gain of 2, cable driver with this
IC eliminates the eight gain setting resistors, which frees up
board space for termination resistors.
Like most new er high perf ormance amplifiers, the HS-1412RH
is a current f eedbac k amplifier (CFA). CFAs offer high
bandwidth and slew r ate at low supply currents , b ut can be
difficult to use because of their sensitivity to f eedbac k
capacitance and parasitics on the in v erting input (summing
node). The HS-1412RH eliminates these concerns by bringing
the gain setting resistors on-chip . This yields the optimum
placement and value of the feedback resistor, while minimizing
f eedbac k and summing node parasitics . Because there is no
access to the summing node, the PCB parasitics do not impact
perf ormance at gains of +2 or -1 (see “Unity Gain
Considerations” f or discussion of par asitic impact on unity gain
performance).
The HS-1412RH’s closed loop gain implementation provides
better gain accuracy, lower offset and output impedance,
and better distortion compared with open loop buffers.
Closed Loop Gain Selection
This “buffer” operates in closed loop gains of -1, +1, or +2,
with gain selection accomplished via connections to the
±inputs. Applying the input signal to +IN and floating -IN
selects a gain of +1 (see next section for layout caveats),
while grounding -IN selects a gain of +2. A gain of -1 is
obtained by applying the input signal to -IN with +IN
grounded through a 50 resistor.
The table below summarizes these connections:
Unity Gain Considerations
Unity gain selection is accomplished by floating the -Input of
the HS-1412RH. Anything that tends to short the -Input to
GND, such as stray capacitance at high frequencies, will
cause the amplifier gain to increase toward a gain of +2. The
result is excessive high frequency peaking, and possible
instability. Even the minimal amount of capacitance
associated with attaching the -Input lead to the PCB results
in approximately 6dB of gain peaking. At a minimum this
requires due care to ensure the minimum capacitance at the
-Input connection.
Table 1 lists five alternate methods for configuring the
HS-1412RH as a unity gain buffer, and the corresponding
perfor mance. The implementations vary in complexity and
involve performance trade-offs. The easiest approach to
implement is simply shorting the two input pins together,
and applying the input signal to this common node. The
amplifier bandwidth decreases from 550MHz to 370MHz,
but excellent gain flatness is the benefit. A drawback to this
approach is that the amplifier input noise voltage and input
offset voltage terms see a gain of +2, resulting in higher
noise and output offset voltages. Alternately, a 100pF
capacitor between the inputs shor ts them only at high
frequencies, which prevents the increased output offset
voltage but delivers less gain flatness.
Another straightforward approach is to add a 620 resistor
in series with the amplifier’s positive input. This resistor and
the HS-1412RH input capacitance form a low pass filter
which rolls off the signal bandwidth before gain peaking
occurs. This configuration was employed to obtain the data
sheet AC and transient parameters for a gain of +1.
Pulse Overshoot
The HS-1412RH utilizes a quasi-complementary output stage
to achie ve high output current while minimizing quiescent
supply current. In this approach, a composite device replaces
the traditional PNP pulldown transistor. The composite device
s witches modes after crossing 0V, resulting in added
distortion for signals swinging below ground, and an
increased overshoot on the negative portion of the output
wa veform (see Figure 5, Figure 7, and Figure 9). This
overshoot isn’t present for small bipolar signals (see Figure 4,
Figure 6, and Figure 8) or large positive signals. Figure 28
through Figure 31 illustrate the amplifier’s overshoot
dependency on input transition time, and signal polarity.

PC Board Layout
This amplifier’s frequency response depends greatly on the
care taken in designing the PC board (PCB). The use of low
inductance components such as chip resistors and chip
capacitors is strongly recommended, while a solid
ground plane is a must!
Attention should be given to decoupling the power supplies.
A large value (10µF) tantalum in parallel with a small value
(0.1µF) chip capacitor works well in most cases.
Terminated microstrip signal lines are recommended at the
input and output of the device. Capacitance directly on the
output must be minimized, or isolated as discussed in the
next section.
An example of a good high frequency layout is the
Evaluation Board shown in Figure 3.
Driving Capacitive Loads
Capacitive loads, such as an A/D input, or an improperly
terminated transmission line will degrade the amplifier’s
phase margin resulting in frequency response peaking and
possible oscillations. In most cases, the oscillation can be
avoided by placing a resistor (RS) in series with the output
prior to the capacitance.
Figure 1 details starting points for the selection of this
resistor. The points on the curve indicate the RS and CL
combinations for the optimum bandwidth, stability, and
settling time, but experimental fine tuning is recommended.
Picking a point above or to the right of the curve yields an
overdamped response, while points below or left of the curve
indicate areas of underdamped performance.
RSand CLform a low pass network at the output, thus limiting
system bandwidth well below the amplifier bandwidth of
350MHz. By decreasing RS as CL increases (as illustr ated in
the curves), the maxim um bandwidth is obtained without
sacrificing stability. In spite of this, bandwidth decreases as
the load capacitance increases. For e xample, at AV= +2,
RS=22,C
L= 100pF, the overall bandwidth is 125MHz, and
bandwidth drops to 100MHz at RS=12, CL= 220pF.
Evaluation Board
The performance of the HS-1412RH may be evaluated using
the HA5025 Evaluation Board, slightly modified as follows:
1. Remove the four feedback resistors, and leave the
connections open.
2. a. For AV= +1 evaluation, remove the gain setting
resistors (R1), and leave pins 2, 6, 9, and 13 floating.
b. For AV= +2, replace the gain setting resistors (R1) with
0 resistors to GND.
The modified schematic for amplifier 1, and the board layout
are shown in Figures 2 and 3.
