CLC426
Wideband, Low-Noise, Voltage Feedback Op Amp
General Description
Features
TheCLC426combinesanenhancedvoltage-feedbackarchitecture
with an advanced complementary bipolar process to provide a
high-speedopampwithverylownoise(1.6nV/√Hz&2.0pA/√Hz)and
distortion (-62/-68dBc 2nd/3rd harmonics at 1Vpp and 10MHz).
■ Widegain-bandwidthproduct:230MHz
■ Ultra-low input voltage noise: 1.6nV/√Hz
■ Very low harmonic distortion: -62/-68dBc
■ Fast slew rate: 400V/µs
■ Adjustable supply current
■ Dual ±2.5 to ±5V or single 5 to 12V supplies
■ Externally compensatable
Providing a wide 230MHz gain-bandwidth product, a fast 400V/µs
slew rate and very quick 16ns settling time to 0.05% , the CLC426 is
the ideal choice for high speed applications requiring a very wide-
dynamicrangesuchasaninputbufferforhigh-resolutionanalog-to-
digital converters.
Applications
■ Active filters & integrators
■ Ultrasound
■ Low-powerportablevideo
■ ADC/DAC buffer
■ Wide dynamic range amp
■ Differential amps
The CLC426 is internally compensated for gains ≥ 2V/V and can
easilybeexternallycompensatedforunity-gainstabilityinapplications
suchaswidebandlow-noiseintegrators.TheCLC426isalsoequipped
with external supply current adjustment which allows the user to
optimizepower,bandwidth,noiseanddistortionperformanceforeach
application.
■ Pulse/RF amp
TheCLC426'scombinationofspeed,lownoiseanddistortionandlow
dc errors will allow high-speed signal conditioning applications to
achieve the highest signal-to-noise performance. To reduce design
times and assist board layout, the CLC426 is supported by an
evaluationboardandSPICEsimulationmodelavailablefromNational.
For even higher gain-bandwidth voltage-feedback op amps see the
1.9GHz CLC425 (Av ≥ 10V/V) or the 5.0GHz CLC422 (Av ≥ 30V/V).
