clc416 typical performance characteristics (v cc = ?v, a v = +2, r f = 348 w, r l = 100 w ; unless specified) clc416 operation description the clc416 is a dual current feedback amplifier with the following features: n differential gain and phase errors of 0.01% and 0.03 into a 150 w load n low, 3.9ma, supply current per amplifier the professional video quality differential gain and phase errors and low power capabilities of the clc416 make this product a good choice for video applications. gain the non-inverting and inverting gain equations for the clc416 are as follows: non-inverting gain: inverting gain: where r f is the feedback resistor and r g is the gain setting resistor. figure 1 shows the general non-invert- ing gain configuration including the recommended bypass capacitors. figure 1: recommended non-inverting gain circuit feedback resistor selection the feedback resistor, r f , determines the loop gain and frequency response of a current feedback amplifier. optimum performance of the clc416, at a gain of +2v/v, is achieved with r f equal to 348 w . the frequency response plots in the typical performance section illustrate the recommended r f for several gains. within limits, r f can be adjusted to optimize the frequency response. n decrease r f to peak frequency response and extend bandwidth n increase r f to roll off frequency response and reduce bandwidth as a rule of thumb, if the recommended r f is doubled, the bandwidth will be cut in half. channel matching channel matching and crosstalk efficiency are largely dependent on board layout. the layout of comlinear s dual amplifier evaluation boards are designed to produce optimum channel matching and isolation. typical channel matching for the clc416 is shown in figure 2. figure 2: channel matching the clc416 s channel-to-channel isolation is better than 70db for input frequencies of 4mhz. input referred crosstalk vs. frequency is illustrated in figure 3. typical dc errors vs. temperature offset voltage (mv) temperature ( c) 6 5 4 1 -50 0 100 3 2 i bn bias current ( m a) 1 0 -1 -2 -3 50 i bi v io equivalent input noise noise voltage (nv/ ? hz) frequency (hz) 100 10 1 1k 100 10k 100k 1m 10m noise current (pa/ ? hz) 100 10 1

figure 3: input referred crosstalk vs. frequency driving cables and capacitive loads when driving cables, double termination is used to prevent reflections. for capacitive load applications, a small series resistor at the output of the clc416 will improve stability. the r s vs. capacitive load plot, in the typical performance section, gives the recommended series resistance value for optimum flatness at various capacitive loads. power dissipation the power dissipation of an amplifier can be described in two conditions: n quiescent power dissipation - p q (no load condition) n total power dissipation - p t (with load condition) the following steps can be taken to determine the power consumption for each clc416 amplifier: 1. determine the quiescent power p q = i cc (v cc -v ee ) 2. determine the rms power at the output stage p o = (v cc - v load ) (i load ), where v load and i load are the rms voltage and current across the external load. 3. determine the total rms power p t = p q + p o add the total rms powers for both channels to deter- mine the power dissipated by the dual. the maximum power that the package can dissipate at a given temperature is illustrated in the power derating curves in the typical performance section. the power derating curve for any package can be derived by utilizing the following equation: where: t amb = ambient temperature (?) q ja = thermal resistance, from junction to ambient, for a given package (?/w) layout considerations a proper printed circuit layout is essential for achieving high frequency performance. comlinear provides evaluation boards for the clc416 (730038 - dip, 730036-soic) and suggests their use as a guide for high frequency layout and as an aid for device testing and characterization. supply bypassing is required for best performance. the bypass capacitors provide a low impedance return current path at the supply pins. they also provide high frequency filtering on the power supply traces. other layout factors play a major role in high frequency performance. the following are recommended as a basis for high frequency layout: 1. include 6.8 m f tantalum and 0.1 m f ceramic capacitors on both supplies. 2. place the 6.8 m f capacitors within 0.75 inches of the power pins. 3. place the 0.1 m f capacitors within 0.1 inches of the power pins. 4. remove the ground plane under and around the part, especially near the input and output pins to reduce parasitic capacitance. 5. minimize all trace lengths to reduce series inductances. additional information is included in the evaluation board literature. spice models spice models provide a means to evaluate amplifier designs. free spice models are available for comlinear s monolithic amplifiers that: n support berkeley spice 2g and its many derivatives n reproduce typical dc, ac, transient, and noise performance n support room temperature simulations the readme file that accompanies the diskette lists released models, and provides a list of modeled para- meters. the application note oa-18, simulation spice models for comlinear s op amps, contains schematics and a reproduction of the readme file. applications circuits instrumentation amplifier an instrumentation circuit is shown on the front page and reproduced in figure 4. the dc cmrr can be fine tuned by adjusting r 1 . figure 4: instrumentation amplifier p (175 tamb) ja = - q + - 348 w 1/2
