PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD8047 and AD8048 are very high speed and wide bandwidth amplifiers. The AD8047 is unity gain stable. The
AD8048 is stable at gains of two or greater. The AD8047 and
AD8048, which utilize a voltage feedback architecture, meet the
requirements of many applications that previously depended on
current feedback amplifiers.
A proprietary circuit has produced an amplifier that combines
many of the best characteristics of both current feedback and
voltage feedback amplifiers. For the power (6.6 mA max) the
AD8047 and AD8048 exhibit fast and accurate pulse response
(30 ns to 0.01%) as well as extremely wide small signal and
large signal bandwidth and low distortion. The AD8047
achieves –54 dBc distortion at 20 MHz and 250 MHz small signal and 130 MHz large signal bandwidths.

MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by these devices 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. Exceeding this limit temporarily 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.
While the AD8047 and AD8048 are internally short circuit protected, this may not be sufficient to guarantee that the maximum junction temperature (+150°C) is not exceeded under all
conditions. To ensure proper operation, it is necessary to observe the maximum power derating curves.

WARNING!
ESD SENSITIVE DEVICE
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although these devices feature proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

THEORY OF OPERATION
General
The AD8047 and AD8048 are wide bandwidth, voltage feedback amplifiers. Since their open-loop frequency response follows the conventional 6 dB/octave roll-off, their gain bandwidth
product is basically constant. Increasing their closed-loop gain
results in a corresponding decrease in small signal bandwidth.
This can be observed by noting the bandwidth specification
between the AD8047 (gain of 1) and AD8048 (gain of 2).
Feedback Resistor Choice
The value of the feedback resistor is critical for optimum performance on the AD8047 and AD8048. For maximum flatness at a
gain of 2, R
F
and RG should be set to 200 Ω for the AD8048.
When the AD8047 is configured as a unity gain follower, R
F
should be set to 0 Ω (no feedback resistor should be used) for
the plastic DIP and 66.5 Ω for the SOIC.

Figure 52. Inverting Operation
When the AD8047 is used in the transimpedance (I to V) mode,
such as in photodiode detection, the value of R
F
and diode
capacitance (C
I
) are usually known. Generally, the value of R
F
selected will be in the kΩ range, and a shunt capacitor (CF)
across R
F
will be required to maintain good amplifier stability.
The value of C
F
required to maintain optimal flatness (<1 dB
Peaking) and settling time can be estimated as:
C

≅ (2 ω

where ωO is equal to the unity gain bandwidth product of the
amplifier in rad/sec, and C
I
is the equivalent total input
capacitance at the inverting input. Typically ω
O
= 800 × 10
6
rad/sec (see Open-Loop Frequency Response curve, Figure 17).
As an example, choosing R
F
= 10 kΩ and CI = 5 pF, requires
C
F
to be 1.1 pF (Note: CI includes both source and parasitic
circuit capacitance). The bandwidth of the amplifier can be
estimated using the C

calculated as:

For general voltage gain applications, the amplifier bandwidth
can be closely estimated as:

This estimation loses accuracy for gains of +2/–1 or lower due
to the amplifier’s damping factor. For these “low gain” cases,
the bandwidth will actually extend beyond the calculated value
(see Closed-Loop BW plots, Figures 15 and 26).
As a rule of thumb, capacitor C

will not be required if:

Pulse Response
Unlike a traditional voltage feedback amplifier, where the slew
speed is dictated by its front end dc quiescent current and gain
bandwidth product, the AD8047 and AD8048 provide “on demand” current that increases proportionally to the input “step”
signal amplitude. This results in slew rates (1000 V/µs) compa-
rable to wideband current feedback designs. This, combined
with relatively low input noise current (1.0 pA/√
Hz), gives the
AD8047 and AD8048 the best attributes of both voltage and
current feedback amplifiers.
Large Signal Performance
The outstanding large signal operation of the AD8047 and
AD8048 is due to a unique, proprietary design architecture.
In order to maintain this level of performance, the maximum
180 V-MHz product must be observed, (e.g., @ 100 MHz,
V
O
≤ 1.8 V p-p) on the AD8047 and 250 V-MHz product on
the AD8048.
Power Supply Bypassing
Adequate power supply bypassing can be critical when optimizing the performance of a high frequency circuit. Inductance in
the power supply leads can form resonant circuits that produce
peaking in the amplifier’s response. In addition, if large current
transients must be delivered to the load, then bypass capacitors
(typically greater than 1 µF) will be required to provide the best
settling time and lowest distortion. A parallel combination of at
least 4.7 µF, and between 0.1 µF and 0.01 µF, is recommended.
Some brands of electrolytic capacitors will require a small series
damping resistor ≈4.7 Ω for optimum results.
Driving Capacitive Loads
The AD8047/AD8048 have excellent cap load drive capability
for high speed op amps as shown in Figures 55 and 57. However, when driving cap loads greater than 25 pF, the best frequency response is obtained by the addition of a small series
resistance. It is worth noting that the frequency response of the

the passive roll-off of R

and CL.

APPLICATIONS
The AD8047 and AD8048 are voltage feedback amplifiers well
suited for such applications as photodetectors, active filters, and
log amplifiers. The devices’ wide bandwidth (260 MHz), phase
margin (65°), low noise current (1.0 pA/√
Hz), and slew rate
(1000 V/µs) give higher performance capabilities to these appli-
cations over previous voltage feedback designs.
With a settling time of 30 ns to 0.01% and 13 ns to 0.1%, the
devices are an excellent choice for DAC I/V conversion. The
same characteristics along with low harmonic distortion make
them a good choice for ADC buffering/amplification. With superb linearity at relatively high signal frequencies, the AD8047
and AD8048 are ideal drivers for ADCs up to 12 bits.
Operation as a Video Line Driver
The AD8047 and AD8048 have been designed to offer outstanding performance as video line drivers. The important
specifications of differential gain (0.01%) and differential phase
(0.02°) meet the most exacting HDTV demands for driving
video loads.

Active Filters
The wide bandwidth and low distortion of the AD8047 and
AD8048 are ideal for the realization of higher bandwidth active
filters. These characteristics, while being more common in many
current feedback op amps, are offered in the AD8047 and AD8048
in a voltage feedback configuration. Many active filter configurations are not realizable with current feedback amplifiers.
A multiple feedback active filter requires a voltage feedback
amplifier and is more demanding of op amp performance than
other active filter configurations such as the Sallen-Key. In
general, the amplifier should have a bandwidth that is at least
ten times the bandwidth of the filter if problems due to phase
shift of the amplifier are to be avoided.
Figure 59 is an example of a 20 MHz low pass multiple feedback active filter using an AD8048.

A/D Converter Driver
As A/D converters move toward higher speeds with higher resolutions, there becomes a need for high performance drivers that
will not degrade the analog signal to the converter. It is desirable from a system’s standpoint that the A/D be the element in
the signal chain that ultimately limits overall distortion. This
places new demands on the amplifiers used to drive fast, high
resolution A/Ds.
With high bandwidth, low distortion and fast settling time the
AD8047 and AD8048 make high performance A/D drivers for
advanced converters. Figure 60 is an example of an AD8047
used as an input driver for an AD872, a 12-bit, 10 MSPS A/D
converter.
Layout Considerations
The specified high speed performance of the AD8047 and
AD8048 requires careful attention to board layout and component selection. Proper RF design techniques and low pass parasitic component selection are mandatory

The PCB should have a ground plane covering all unused portions of the component side of the board to provide a low impedance path. The ground plane should be removed from the
area near the input pins to reduce stray capacitance.
Chip capacitors should be used for the supply bypassing (see
Figure 60). One end should be connected to the ground plane
and the other within 1/8 inch of each power pin. An additional
large (0.47 µF–10 µF) tantalum electrolytic capacitor should be
connected in parallel, though not necessarily so close, to supply
current for fast, large signal changes at the output.
The feedback resistor should be located close to the inverting
input pin in order to keep the stray capacitance at this node to a
minimum. Capacitance variations of less than 1 pF at the inverting input will significantly affect high speed performance.
Stripline design techniques should be used for long signal traces
(greater than about 1 inch). These should be designed with a
characteristic impedance of 50 Ω or 75 Ω and be properly terminated at each end.
Evaluation Board
An evaluation board for both the AD8047 and AD8048 is available that has been carefully laid out and tested to demonstrate
that the specified high speed performance of the device can be
realized. For ordering information, please refer to the Ordering
Guide.
The layout of the evaluation board can be used as shown or
serve as a guide for a board layout.
