PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD8055 (single) and AD8056 (dual) voltage feedback
amplifiers offer bandwidth and slew rate typically found in
current feedback amplifiers. Additionally, these amplifiers are
easy to use and available at a very low cost.
Despite their low cost, the AD8055 and AD8056 provide excellent
overall performance. For video applications, their differential gain
and phase error are 0.01% and 0.02° into a 150 Ω load, and
0.02% and 0.1° while driving four video loads (37.5 Ω). Their
0.1 dB flatness out to 40 MHz, wide bandwidth out to 300 MHz,
along with 1400 V/µs slew rate and 20 ns settling time, make
them useful for a variety of high-speed applications.

The AD8055 and AD8056 require only 5 mA typ/amplifier of
supply current and operate on dual ±5 V or single +12 V power
supply, while being capable of delivering over 60 mA of load
current. All this is offered in a small 8-lead plastic DIP, 8-lead
SOIC packages, 5-lead SOT-23-5 package (AD8055) and an
8-lead microSOIC package (AD8056). These features make
the AD8055/AD8056 ideal for portable and battery powered
applications where size and power are critical. These amplifiers are
available in the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.

NOTES
1
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.
The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the AD8055/
AD8056 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 AD8055/AD8056 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.

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 the AD8055/AD8056 features 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.

APPLICATIONS
Four-Line Video Driver
The AD8055 is a useful low cost circuit for driving up to four
video lines. For such an application, the amplifier is configured
for a noninverting gain of 2 as shown in Figure 3. The input
video source is terminated in 75 Ω and applied to the high
The gain of this circuit from the input to Amp 1 output is R
while the gain to the output of Amp 2 is –R
. The circuit thus

creates a balanced differential output signal from a single-ended
input. The advantage of this circuit is that the gain can be changed
by changing a single resistor and still maintain the balanced
differential outputs.

impedance noninverting input.
Each output cable is connected to the op amp output via a 75 Ω
series back termination resistor for proper cable termination.
The terminating resistors at the other ends of the lines will
divide the output signal by two, which is compensated for by
the gain-of-two of the op amp stage.
For a single load, the differential gain error of this circuit was
measured to be 0.01%, with a differential phase error of
0.02 degrees. The two load measurements were 0.02% and
0.03 degrees, respectively. For four loads, the differential
gain error is 0.02%, while the differential phase increases to
0.1 degrees.

Figure 5. The circuit has a –3 dB bandwidth of 20 MHz.
Single-Ended to Differential Line Driver
Creating differential signals from single-ended signals is required
for driving balanced, twisted pair cables, differential input A/D
909⍀
+5V
converters and other applications that require differential signals.
This is sometimes accomplished by using an inverting and a noninverting amplifier stage to create the complementary signals.
The circuit shown in Figure 4 shows how an AD8056 can be
used to make a single-ended to differential converter that offers
some advantages over the architecture mentioned above. Each op
amp is configured for unity gain by the feedback resistors from the
outputs to the inverting inputs. In addition, each output drives the
opposite op amp with a gain of –1 by means of the crossed
resistors. The result of this is that the outputs are complementary
and there is high gain in the overall configuration.
Feedback techniques similar to a conventional op amp are used
to control the gain of the circuit. From the noninverting input
of Amp 1 to the output of Amp 2, is an inverting gain. Between
these points a feedback resistor can be used to close the loop.
As in the case of a conventional op amp inverting gain stage, an
input resistor is added to vary the gain.
Figure 5. Low Noise, Low Power Preamp with G = +10
and BW = 20 MHz
With a low source resistance (<approximately 100 Ω), the major
contributors to the input referred noise of this circuit are the
input voltage noise of the amplifier and the noise of the 100 Ω
resistor. These are 6 nV/√Hz and 1.2 nV/√Hz, respectively. These
values yield a total input referred noise of 6.1 nV/√Hz.

AD8055/AD8056
Power Dissipation Limits
With a 10 V supply (total VCC – VEE), the quiescent power
dissipation of the AD8055 in the SOT-23-5 package is 65 mW,
while the quiescent power dissipation of the AD8056 in the
microSOIC is 120 mW. This translates into a 15.6°C rise above
the ambient for the SOT-23-5 package and a 24°C rise for the
microSOIC package.
The power dissipated under heavy load conditions is approximately equal to the supply voltage minus the output voltage,
times the load current, plus the quiescent power computed above.
This total power dissipation is then multiplied by the thermal
resistance of the package to find the temperature rise, above
ambient, of the part. The junction temperature should be kept
below 150°C.
The AD8055 in the SOT-23-5 package can dissipate 270 mW
while the AD8056 in the microSOIC package can dissipate
325 mW (at 85°C ambient) without exceeding the maximum
die temperature. In the case of the AD8056, this is greater than
1.5 V rms into 50 Ω, enough to accommodate a 4 V p-p sine-wave
signal on both outputs simultaneously. But since each output of
the AD8055 or AD8056 is capable of supplying as much as
110 mA into a short circuit, a continuous short circuit condition
will exceed the maximum safe junction temperature.

Driving Capacitive Loads
When driving a capacitive load, most op amps will exhibit peaking
in the frequency response just before the frequency rolls off. Figure
6 shows the responses for an AD8056 running at a gain of +2,
with a 100 Ω load that is shunted by various values of capacitance.
It can be seen that under these conditions, the part is still stable
with capacitive loads of up to 30 pF.

In general, to minimize peaking or to ensure the stability for
larger values of capacitive loads, a small series resistor, R
be added between the op amp output and the capacitor, C
