DC Performance
A current-feedback amplifier’s input stage does not have
equal nor correlated bias currents, therefore they cannot
be cancelled and each contributes to the total DC offset
voltage at the output by the following equation:

Layout Considerations
Itisrecommendedthatthedecouplingcapacitors (0.1µF
ceramicand6.8µFelectrolytic)shouldbeplacedasclose
as possible to the power supply pins to insure a proper
high-frequencylowimpedancebypass. Carefulattention
to circuit board layout is also necessary for best
performance. Of particular importance is the control of
parasitic capacitances (to ground) at the output and
invering input pins. See CLC431/432 Evaluation Board
literature for more information.

The disable feature of the CLC431 is such that
DIS have common-mode input voltage ranges of (+VCC)
to (-VCC+3V) and are so guaranteed over the commercial
temperature range. Internal clamps (not shown) protect

Fig. 3 illustrates the connections necessary to configure
the CLC431 as a 2:1 multiplexer in a 75Ω system. Each
of the two CLC431's amplifiers is configured with a non-
inverting gain of +2V/V using 634Ω feedback (Rf) and
gain-setting(Rg)resistors.Thefeedbackresistorvalue is
lower than that recommended in order to compensate for
the reduction of loop-gain that results from the inclusion
of the 50Ω resistor (Ri) in the feedback loop. This 50Ω
resistor serves to isolate the output of the active channel
from the impedance of the inactive channel yet does not
affect the low output impedance of the active channel.
