GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADA4855-3 (triple) is a single-supply, rail-to-rail output
operational amplifier. It provides excellent high speed performance
with 410 MHz, −3 dB bandwidth and a slew rate of 870 V/μs. It
has a wide input common-mode voltage range that extends from
0.2 V below ground to 1 V below the positive rail.In addition,
the output voltage swings within 100 mV of either supply rail,
making this rail-to-rail operational amplifier easy to use on singlesupply voltages as low as 3.3 V.
The ADA4855-3 offers a typical low power of 7.8 mA per amplifier
and is capable of delivering up to 57 mA of load current. It also
features a power-down function for power sensitive applications
that reduces the supply current down to 1 mA.
The ADA4855-3 is available in a 16-lead LFCSP and is designed
to work over the extended industrial temperature range of
−40°C to +105°C.

Specification is for device in free air.
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.

MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the
ADA4855-3 is limited by the associated rise in junction
temperature. The maximum safe junction temperature for
plastic encapsulated devices is determined by the glass
transition temperature of the plastic, approximately 150°C.
Temporarily exceeding this limit may cause a shift in parametric
performance due to a change in the stresses exerted on the die
by the package. Exceeding a junction temperature of 175°C for
an extended period can result in device failure.
To ensure proper operation, it is necessary to observe the
maximum power derating curves.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADA4855 is a voltage feedback op amp that employs a new
input stage that achieves a high slew rate while maintaining a
wide common-mode input range. The input common-mode
range of the ADA4855 extends from 200 mV below the negative
rail to 1 V below the positive rail. This feature makes the ADA4855
ideal for single-supply applications. In addition, this new input
stage does not sacrifice noise performance for slew rate. At
6.8 nV/√Hz, the ADA4855 is one of the lowest noise rail-torail output video amplifiers in the market.
Besides a novel input stage, the ADA4855 employs the Analog
Devices, Inc., patented rail-to-rail output stage. This output
stage makes efficient use of the power supplies, allowing the op
amp to drive up to three video loads to within 350 mV of the
positive power rail. In addition, this output stage provides the
amplifier with very fast overdrive characteristics, which is an
important property in video applications.
The ADA4855 comes in a 16-lead LFCSP that has an exposed
thermal pad for lower operating temperature. This pad is internally
connected to the negative rail. To avoid printed circuit board (PCB)
layout problems, the ADA4855 features a new pinout flow that
is optimized for video applications. As shown in Figure 4, the
noninverting input and output pins of each amplifier are
adjacent to each other for ease of layout.
The ADA4855 is fabricated in Analog Devices dielectrically
isolated eXtra Fast Complementary Bipolar 3 (XFCB3) process,
which results in the outstanding speed and dynamic range
displayed by the amplifier.

three video loads, the ADA4855-3 maintains its excellent

(POWER-DOWN) PIN
PD
The ADA4855-3 is equipped with a PD (power-down) pin
for all three amplifiers. This allows the user to reduce the
quiescent supply current when an amplifier is inactive. The
power-down threshold levels are derived from the voltage
applied to the +V
pin. When used in single-supply applications,
S
this is especially useful with conventional logic levels. The
amplifier is enabled when the voltage applied to the
greater than +V
− 1.25 V. In a single-supply application, the
S
PD
pin is
voltage threshold is typically +3.75 V, and in a ±2.5 V dualsupply application, the voltage threshold is typically +1.25 V.
The amplifier is also enabled when the
pin is left floating (not
PD
connected). However, the amplifier is powered down when the
voltage on the
pin is lower than 2.5 V from +VS. If the PD
PD
pin is not used, it is best to connect it to the positive supply.

SINGLE-SUPPLY OPERATION POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
The ADA4855-3 is designed for a single power supply. Figure 54
shows the schematic for a single 5 V supply video driver. The
input signal is ac-coupled into the amplifier via C1. Resistor R2
and Resistor R4 establish the input midsupply reference for the
amplifier. C5 prevents constant current from being drawn
through the gain set resistor. C6 is the output coupling capacitor.

op amps, see Avoiding Op-Amp Instability Problems in Single-Supply Applications, Analog Dialogue, Volume 35, Number 2,

Figure 54. AC-Coupled, Single-Supply Video Driver Schematic
Another way to configure the ADA4855-3 in single-supply
operation is dc-coupled. The common-mode input voltage can
go ~200 mV below ground, which makes it a true single-supply
amplifier. However, in video applications, the black level is set at
0 V, which means that the output of the amplifier must go to
ground level as well. The ADA4855-3 has a rail-to-rail output
that can swing to within 100 mV from either rail. Figure 55
shows the schematic for adding 50 mV dc offset to the input
signal so that the output is not clipped while still properly
terminating the input with 75 Ω.

Careful attention must be paid to bypassing the power supply
pins of the ADA4855-3. High quality capacitors with low
equivalent series resistance (ESR), such as multilayer ceramic
capacitors (MLCCs), should be used to minimize supply voltage
ripple and power dissipation. A large, usually tantalum, 2.2 μF
to 47 μF capacitor located in close proximity to the ADA4855-3
is required to provide good decoupling for lower frequency
signals. The actual value is determined by the circuit transient
and frequency requirements. In addition, 0.1 μF MLCC decoupling
capacitors should be located as close to each of the power supply
pins and across both supplies as is physically possible, no more
than 1/8-inch away. The ground returns should terminate
immediately into the ground plane. Locating the bypass capacitor
return close to the load return minimizes ground loops and
improves performance.
LAYOUT
As is the case with all high speed applications, careful attention
to printed circuit board (PCB) layout details prevents associated
board parasitics from becoming problematic. The ADA4855-3
can operate at up to 410 MHz; therefore, proper RF design
techniques must be employed. The PCB should have a ground
plane covering all unused portions of the component side of the
board to provide a low impedance return path. Removing the
ground plane on all layers from the area near and under the
input and output pins reduces stray capacitance. Signal lines
connecting the feedback and gain resistors should be kept as short
as possible to minimize the inductance and stray capacitance
associated with these traces. Termination resistors and loads
should be located as close as possible to their respective inputs
and outputs. Input and output traces should be kept as far apart
as possible to minimize coupling (crosstalk) through the board.
Adherence to microstrip or stripline design techniques for long
signal traces (greater than 1 inch) is recommended. For more
information on high speed board layout, see A Practical Guide to High-Speed Printed-Circuit-Board Layout, Analog Dialogue,
Volume 39, September 2005, at www.analog.com.
