The LT®1210 is a current feedback amplifier with high
output current and excellent large-signal characteristics.
The combination of high slew rate, 1.1A output drive and
±15V operation enables the device to deliver significant
power at frequencies in the 1MHz to 2MHz range. Shortcircuit protection and thermal shutdown ensure the
device’s ruggedness. The LT1210 is stable with large
capacitive loads, and can easily supply the large currents
required by the capacitive loading. A shutdown feature
switches the device into a high impedance and low
supply current mode, reducing dissipation when the
device is not in use. For lower bandwidth applications,
the supply current can be reduced with a single external
resistor.
The LT1210 is available in the TO-220 and DD packages
for operation with supplies up to ±15V. For ± 5V applications the device is also available in a low thermal resistance SO-16 package.

The LT1210 is a current feedback amplifier with high
output current drive capability. The device is stable with
large capacitive loads and can easily supply the high
currents required by capacitive loads. The amplifier will
drive low impedance loads such as cables with excellent
linearity at high frequencies.
Feedback Resistor Selection
The optimum value for the feedback resistors is a function
of the operating conditions of the device, the load impedance and the desired flatness of response. The Typical AC
Performance tables give the values which result in less
than 1dB of peaking for various resistive loads and operating conditions. If this level of flatness is not required, a
higher bandwidth can be obtained by use of a lower
feedback resistor. The characteristic curves of Bandwidth
vs Supply Voltage indicate feedback resistors for peaking
up to 5dB. These curves use a solid line when the response
has less than 1dB of peaking and a dashed line when the
response has 1dB to 5dB of peaking. The curves stop
where the response has more than 5dB of peaking.
For resistive loads, the COMP pin should be left open (see
Capacitive Loads section).

tance. Also shown is the –3dB bandwidth with the suggested feedback resistor vs the load capacitance.
Although the optional compensation works well with
capacitive loads, it simply reduces the bandwidth when it
is connected with resistive loads. For instance, with a 10Ω
load, the bandwidth drops from 35MHz to 26MHz when
the compensation is connected. Hence, the compensation
was made optional. To disconnect the optional compensation, leave the COMP pin open.
Capacitive Loads
The LT1210 includes an optional compensation network
for driving capacitive loads. This network eliminates most
of the output stage peaking associated with capacitive
loads, allowing the frequency response to be flattened.
Figure 1 shows the effect of the network on a 200pF load.
Without the optional compensation, there is a 6dB peak at
40MHz caused by the effect of the capacitance on the
output stage. Adding a 0.01µF bypass capacitor between
the output and the COMP pins connects the compensation
and greatly reduces the peaking. A lower value feedback
resistor can now be used, resulting in a response which is
flat to ± 1dB to 40MHz. The network has the greatest effect
in the range of 0pF to 1000pF. The graphs of
for C
L
Bandwidth and Feedback Resistance vs Capacitive Load
can be used to select the appropriate value of feedback
resistor. The values shown are for 1dB and 5dB peaking at
a gain of 2 with no resistive load. This is a worst-case
condition, as the amplifier is more stable at higher gains
and with some resistive load in parallel with the capaci-
Shutdown/Current Set
If the shutdown feature is not used, the SHUTDOWN pin
–
must be connected to ground or V
.
The Shutdown pin can be used to either turn off the biasing
for the amplifier, reducing the quiescent current to less
than 200µA, or to control the quiescent current in normal
operation.
The total bias current in the LT1210 is controlled by the
current flowing out of the Shutdown pin. When the Shutdown pin is open or driven to the positive supply, the part
is shut down. In the shutdown mode, the output looks like
a 70pF capacitor and the supply current is typically less
than 100µA. The Shutdown pin is referenced to the posi-
tive supply through an internal bias circuit (see the Simplified Schematic). An easy way to force shutdown is to use
open-drain (collector) logic. The circuit shown in Figure 2
uses a 74C904 buffer to interface between 5V logic and the
LT1210. The switching time between the active and shutdown states is about 1µs.

completely turned off. Because the pin is referenced to
the positive supply, the logic used should have a breakdown voltage of greater than the positive supply voltage.
No other circuitry is necessary as the internal circuit
limits the Shutdown pin current to about 500µA. Figure
3 shows the resulting waveforms.

the inverting configuration without much change in response. In noninverting mode, however, the slew rate is
reduced as the quiescent current is reduced.

Figure 3. Shutdown Operation
For applications where the full bandwidth of the amplifier
is not required, the quiescent current of the device may be
reduced by connecting a resistor from the Shutdown pin
to ground. The quiescent current will be approximately 65
times the current in the Shutdown pin. The voltage across
the resistor in this condition is V

82k resistor will set the quiescent supply current to 9mA

Slew Rate
Unlike a traditional op amp, the slew rate of a current
feedback amplifier is not independent of the amplifier gain
configuration. There are slew rate limitations in both the
input stage and the output stage. In the inverting mode,
and for higher gains in the noninverting mode, the signal
amplitude on the input pins is small and the overall slew
rate is that of the output stage. The input stage slew rate
is related to the quiescent current and will be reduced as
the supply current is reduced. The output slew rate is set
by the value of the feedback resistors and the internal
capacitance. Larger feedback resistors will reduce the
slew rate as will lower supply voltages, similar to the way

the bandwidth is reduced. The photos in Figures 5a, 5b and
5c show the large-signal response of the LT1210 for
various gain configurations. The slew rate varies from
770V/µs for a gain of 1, to 1100V/µs for a gain of –1.

When the LT1210 is used to drive capacitive loads, the
available output current can limit the overall slew rate. In
the fastest configuration, the LT1210 is capable of a slew
rate of over 1V/ns. The current required to slew a capacitor
at this rate is 1mA per picofarad of capacitance, so
10,000pF would require 10A! The photo (Figure 6) shows
the large-signal behavior with CL = 10,000pF. The slew
rate is about 150V/µs, determined by the current limit of
1.5A.

Differential Input Signal Swing
The differential input swing is limited to about ±6V by an
ESD protection device connected between the inputs. In
normal operation, the differential voltage between the
input pins is small, so this clamp has no effect; however,
in the shutdown mode the differential swing can be the
same as the input swing. The clamp voltage will then set
the maximum allowable input voltage. To allow for some
margin, it is recommended that the input signal be less
than ± 5V when the device is shut down.
Capacitance on the Inverting Input
Current feedback amplifiers require resistive feedback
from the output to the inverting input for stable operation.
Take care to minimize the stray capacitance between the
output and the inverting input. Capacitance on the inverting input to ground will cause peaking in the frequency
response (and overshoot in the transient response), but it
does not degrade the stability of the amplifier.

Power Supplies
The LT1210 will operate from single or split supplies from
± 5V (10V total) to ±15V (30V total). It is not necessary to
use equal value split supplies, however the offset voltage
and inverting input bias current will change. The offset
voltage changes about 500µV per volt of supply mis-
match. The inverting bias current can change as much as
5µA per volt of supply mismatch, though typically the
change is less than 0.5µA per volt.
Power Supply Bypassing
To obtain the maximum output and the minimum distortion from the LT1210, the power supply rails should be
well bypassed. For example, with the output stage pouring
1A current peaks into the load, a 1Ω power supply impedance will cause a droop of 1V, reducing the available
output swing by that amount. Surface mount tantalum and
ceramic capacitors make excellent low ESR bypass elements when placed close to the chip. For frequencies
above 100kHz, use 1µF and 100nF ceramic capacitors.
If significant power must be delivered below 100kHz,
capacitive reactance becomes the limiting factor. Larger
ceramic or tantalum capacitors, such as 4.7µF, are recom-
mended in place of the 1µF unit mentioned above.

For surface mount devices heat sinking is accomplished
by using the heat spreading capabilities of the PC board
and its copper traces. Experiments have shown that the
heat spreading copper layer does not need to be electrically connected to the tab of the device. The PCB material
can be very effective at transmitting heat between the pad
area attached to the tab of the device, and a ground or
power plane layer either inside or on the opposite side of
the board. Although the actual thermal resistance of the
PCB material is high, the length/area ratio of the thermal
resistance between the layer is small. Copper board stiffeners and plated through holes can also be used to spread
the heat generated by the device.
Tables 1 and 2 list thermal resistance for each package. For
the TO-220 package, thermal resistance is given for junction-to-case only since this package is usually mounted to
a heat sink. Measured values of thermal resistance for
several different board sizes and copper areas are listed for
each surface mount package. All measurements were
taken in still air on 3/32" FR-4 board with 2 oz copper. This
data can be used as a rough guideline in estimating
thermal resistance. The thermal resistance for each application will be affected by thermal interactions with other
components as well as board size and shape.
Inadequate bypassing is evidenced by reduced output
swing and “distorted” clipping effects when the output is
driven to the rails. If this is observed, check the supply pins
of the device for ripple directly related to the output
waveform. Significant supply modulation indicates poor
bypassing.
Thermal Considerations
The LT1210 contains a thermal shutdown feature which
protects against excessive internal (junction) temperature. If the junction temperature of the device exceeds the
protection threshold, the device will begin cycling between normal operation and an off state. The cycling is not
harmful to the part. The thermal cycling occurs at a slow
rate, typically 10ms to several seconds, which depends on
the power dissipation and the thermal time constants of
the package and heat sinking. Raising the ambient temperature until the device begins thermal shutdown gives a
good indication of how much margin there is in the
thermal design.

Calculating Junction Temperature
The junction temperature can be calculated from the
equation:
TJ = (PD)(θJA) + T

where:
T

J

P
= Device Dissipation
D
= Thermal Resistance (Junction-to-Ambient)

As an example, calculate the junction temperature for the
circuit in Figure 7 for the SO and R packages assuming a
70°C ambient temperature.
The device dissipation can be found by measuring the
supply currents, calculating the total dissipation and then
subtracting the dissipation in the load and feedback
network.

TJ= (0.56W)(27°C/W) + 70°C = 85°C

Since the maximum junction temperature is 150°C,
both packages are clearly acceptable.
