File Number
4227.1
Radiation Hardened, High Speed, Low
Power, Current Feedback Video
Operational Amplifier with Output Disable
The HS-1145RH is a high speed, low power current
feedback amplifier built with Intersil’s proprietary
complementary bipolar UHF-1 (DI bonded wafer) process.
These devices are QML approved and are processed and
screened in full compliance with MIL-PRF-38535.
This amplifier features a TTL/CMOS compatible disable
control, pin 8, which when pulled low, reduces the supply
current and forces the output into a high impedance state.
This allows easy implementation of simple, low power video
switching and routing systems. Component and composite
video systems also benefit from this op amp’s excellent gain
flatness, and good differential gain and phase specifications.
Multiplexed A/D applications will also find the HS-1145RH
useful as the A/D driver/multiplexer.
Specifications for Rad Hard QML devices are controlled
by the Defense Supply Center in Columbus (DSCC). The
SMD numbers listed here must be used when ordering.
Detailed Electrical Specifications for these devices are
contained in SMD 5962-96830. A “hot-link” is provided
on our homepage for downloading.

HS-1145RH
Application Information
Optimum Feedback Resistor
Although a current feedback amplifier’s bandwidth
dependency on closed loop gain isn’t as severe as that of a
voltage feedback amplifier, there can be an appreciable
decrease in bandwidth at higher gains. This decrease may
be minimized by taking advantage of the current feedback
amplifier’s unique relationship between bandwidth and R
F
.
All current feedback amplifiers require a feedback resistor,
even for unity gain applications, and R
F
, in conjunction with
the internal compensation capacitor, sets the dominant pole
of the frequency response. Thus, the amplifier’s bandwidth is
inversely proportional to R
F
. The HS-1145RH design is
optimized for R
F
= 510Ω at a gain of +2. Decreasing R
F
decreases stability, resulting in excessive peaking and
overshoot (Note: Capacitive feedback will cause the same
problems due to the feedback impedance decrease at higher
frequencies). At higher gains, however, the amplifier is more
stable so R
F
can be decreased in a trade-off of stability for
bandwidth.
The table below lists recommended R
F
values for various
gains, and the expected bandwidth. For a gain of +1, a
resistor (
+
R
S
) in series with +IN is required to reduce gain
peaking and increase stability.

Optional GND Pad (Die Use Only) for TTL
Compatibility
The die version of the HS-1145RH provides the user with a
GND pad for setting the disable circuitry GND reference.
With symmetrical supplies the GND pad may be left
unconnected, or tied directly to GND. If asymmetrical
supplies (e.g., +10V, 0V) are utilized, and TTL compatibility
is desired, die users must connect the GND pad to GND.
With an external GND, the DISABLE input is TTL compatible
regardless of supply voltage utilized.
Pulse Undershoot and Asymmetrical Slew Rates
The HS-1145RH utilizes a quasi-complementary output
stage to achieve high output current while minimizing
quiescent supply current. In this approach, a composite
device replaces the traditional PNP pulldown transistor. The
composite device switches modes after crossing 0V,
resulting in added distortion for signals swinging below
ground, and an increased undershoot on the negative
portion of the output waveform (See Figures 5, 8, and 11).
This undershoot isn’t present for small bipolar signals, or
large positive signals. Another artifact of the composite
device is asymmetrical slew rates for output signals with a
negative voltage component. The slew rate degrades as the
output signal crosses through 0V (See Figures 5, 8, and 11),
resulting in a slower overall negative slew rate. Positive only
signals have symmetrical slew rates as illustrated in the
large signal positive pulse response graphs (See Figures 4,
7, and 10).

PC Board Layout
This amplifier’s frequency response depends greatly on the
care taken in designing the PC board.
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
device’s input and output connections. Capacitance,
parasitic or planned, connected to the output must be
minimized, or isolated as discussed in the next section.
Care must also be taken to minimize the capacitance to
ground at the amplifier’s inverting input (-IN), as this
capacitance causes gain peaking, pulse overshoot, and if
large enough, instability. To reduce this capacitance, the
designer should remove the ground plane under traces
connected to -IN, and keep connections to -IN as short as
possible.
An example of a good high frequency layout is the
Evaluation Board shown in Figure 2.
Non-Inverting Input Source Impedance
For best operation, the DC source impedance seen by the
non-inverting input should be
≥50Ω.
This is especially
important in inverting gain configurations where the non-
inverting input would normally be connected directly to GND.
DISABLE Input TTL Compatibility
The HS-1145RH derives an internal GND reference for the
digital circuitry as long as the power supplies are symmetrical
about GND. With symmetrical supplies the digital switching
threshold (V
TH
= (V
IH
+ V
IL
)/2 = (2.0 + 0.8)/2) is 1.4V, which
ensures the TTL compatibility of the DISABLE input. If
asymmetrical supplies (e.g., +10V, 0V) are utilized, the
switching threshold becomes:
V+

and the V

and V

levels will be V

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 (R
S
) 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 R
S
and C
L
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.
R
S
and C
L
form a low pass network at the output, thus
limiting system bandwidth well below the amplifier bandwidth
of 270MHz (for A
V
= +1). By decreasing R
S
as C
L
increases
(as illustrated in the curves), the maximum bandwidth is
obtained without sacrificing stability. In spite of this, the
bandwidth decreases as the load capacitance increases. For
example, at A
V
= +1, R
S
= 62Ω, C
L
= 40pF, the overall
bandwidth is limited to 180MHz, and bandwidth drops to
75MHz at A
V
= +1, R
S
= 8Ω, C
L
= 400pF.
