typical test circuit the signal source in figure 1 can be either a fast pulse gen- erator or a network analyzer as long as the output impedance is 50 ohms. the dc level of the input should be 1.55v and all cables should be kept as short as possible. since total load capacitance should be kept below 8.5pf, a fet probe should be used on the ouput. using the msk 640 the output of the amplifier is biased at one half of the power supply voltage. an output voltage swing of 25 volts is typi- cal with a power supply voltage of +60 volts. with an 8.5pf capacitive load, transistion times are in the 2.1ns range. if a spark gap current limiting resistor is used on the output of the amplifier and the transistion times are degraded, a peaking coil may be used to preserve system performance. the optimum value for this coil will be in the range of 100 to 200nh and can best be determined by trial and error. the output of the msk 640 is not short circuit protected, therefore, purely resistive loads should be no less than 600 ohms at any time to avoid damaging the output. operation considerations the input of the msk 640 rests at a +1.55vdc level with the input terminal open. in this state, the output rests at one half of the power supply voltage. when connecting a pulse generator to the input of the amplifier, the dc level should be offset so that the signal is centered around +1.55v. during characterization, the input should be coupled to the msk 640 through a parallel combination of a variable resistor and vari- able capacitor peaking circuit. optimum values for the peaking circuit can be determined experimentally. the optimum value of load capacitance is 8.5pf. viewing the output with a normal oscilloscope probe would seriously degrade performance. a fet probe fitted with a 100:1 voltage divider will add only approximately 1.5pf of capacitance to the load and is highly recommended. an experimental circuit along with recommended values can be found in figure 2. application notes output issues the output of the msk 640 is a pair of bipolar emitter follow- ers configured in a complimentary push pull configuration. this configuration eliminates the need for a pull up load resistor and makes the amplifier less susceptible to load capacitance varia- tions. connecting a wire or cable from the output of the ampli- fier to the crt cathode can create a resonant circuit which can cause unwanted oscillations or overshoot at its resonant fre- quency. a damping resistor in series with the lead inductance will alleviate this condition. the optimum value of this resistor can be determined using the following formula: r = 2* ? l/c this resistor also doubles as an arcing protector. in the bread- boarding stage, the value of this resistor should be determined experimentally. resistance in the range of 50 to 100 ohms is usually sufficient. if a quick, simple peaking network is de- sired, a 300 ohm cable terminated by a capacitor will act like an inductor in the frequency range involved. heat sinking the msk 640 requires heat sinking in most applications. the following formula may be applied to determine if a heat sink is necessary and what size and type to use. r q sa = ((tj-ta)/pd ) - (r q jc) - (r q cs) where tj = junction temperature pd = total power dissipation r q jc = junction to case thermal resistance r q cs = case to heat sink thermal resistance r q sa = heat sink to ambient thermal resistance tc = case temperature ta = ambient temperature ts = sink temperature example tj = 150c ta = 100c pd = 3w r q jc = 10.5c/w r q cs = 0.15c/w solving the above equation for r q sa (heat sink thermal conduc- tivity) shows that the heat sink for this application must have a thermal resistance of no more than 6.0c/w to maintain a junc- tion temperature of no more than 150c. transimpedance amplification transimpedance amplifiers relate input current to output volt- age. the msk 640 contains an internal 3k w feedback resistor. this resistor converts input current to output voltage in the following manner (see figure 1): 1.43v (referenced to 1.55vdc) across the 215 w input re- sistor results in an input current of 6.65ma. this current flows through the 3k w feedback resistor and results approxi- mately in a 20v swing at the output. the actual voltage gain of the typical MSK640 circuit may be slightly less due to tran- sistor losses. the following formula approximates voltage gain including potential losses: voltage gain (v/v) = 3k w /(rin + l) l ? 25 w rev. b 8/00 3

complete video system figure 3 above shows how an msk 620 and msk 640 can be used to drive a 100mhz monochrome monitor. the video signal is a.c. coupled through c1. the video output pin of the msk 620 rests at approximately +3.9vdc and the input of the msk 640 should be d.c. biased at approximately +1.55vdc. d1, d2, d3 and q1 act as a level shifting stage to match the output of the msk620 and the input of the MSK640. r8 and r9 sample the output and feed it back to the clamping section of the msk 620 for black level control superior to simply sampling from pin 14 of the msk 620. rev. b 8/00 5
