8-Pin Plastic Mini-DIP (N), Cerdip (Q),
and SO (R) Packages
These characteristics position the AD9631/AD9632 ideally for
driving flash as well as high resolution ADCs. Additionally, the
balanced high impedance inputs of the voltage feedback architecture allow maximum flexibility when designing active filters.
The AD9631 is offered in industrial (–40°C to +85°C) and military (–55°C to +125°C) temperature ranges and the AD9632 in
industrial. Industrial versions are available in plastic DIP and
SOIC; MIL versions are packaged in cerdip.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD9631 and AD9632 are very high speed and wide bandwidth amplifiers. They are an improved performance alternative
to the AD9621 and AD9622. The AD9631 is unity gain stable.
The AD9632 is stable at gains of two or greater. Utilizing a
voltage feedback architecture, the AD9631/AD9632’s exceptional settling time, bandwidth, and low distortion meet the
requirements of many applications which previously depended
on current feedback amplifiers. Its classical op amp structure
works much more predictably in many designs.
A proprietary design architecture has produced an amplifier that
combines many of the best characteristics of both current feedback and voltage feedback amplifiers. The AD9631 and
AD9632 exhibit exceptionally fast and accurate pulse response
(16 ns to 0.01%) as well as extremely wide small signal and
large signal bandwidth and ultralow distortion. The AD9631
achieves –72 dBc at 20 MHz and 320 MHz small signal and
175 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 AD9631 and AD9632 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.

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 AD9631 and AD9632 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 AD9631 (gain of 1) and AD9632 (gain of 2). The
AD9631/AD9632 typically maintain 65 degrees of phase margin. This high margin minimizes the effects of signal and noise
peaking.
Feedback Resistor Choice
The value of the feedback resistor is critical for optimum performance on the AD9631 (gain +1) and less critical as the gain increases. Therefore, this section is specifically targeted at the
AD9631.
At minimum stable gain (+1), the AD9631 provides optimum
dynamic performance with R
= 140 Ω. This resistor acts only
F
as a parasitic suppressor against damped RF oscillations that
can occur due to lead (input, feedback) inductance and parasitic
capacitance. This value of R
provides the best combination of
F
wide bandwidth, low parasitic peaking, and fast settling time.
In fact, for the same reasons, a 100–130 Ω resistor should be
placed in series with the positive input for other AD9631
noninverting and all AD9631 inverting configurations. The correct connection is shown in Figures 57 and 58.

When the AD9631 is used in the transimpedance (I to V) mode,
such as in photodiode detection, the value of R
pacitance (C
) are usually known. Generally, the value of RF se-
I
lected will be in the kΩ range, and a shunt capacitor (C
will be required to maintain good amplifier stability. The

where NG is the Noise Gain (1 + RF/RG) of the circuit. For
most voltage gain applications, this should be the case.
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 AD9631 and AD9632 provide “on demand” current that increases proportionally to the input “step”
signal amplitude. This results in slew rates (1300 V/µs) compa-
rable to wideband current feedback designs. This, combined
with relatively low input noise current (2.0 pA/√
Hz), gives the
AD9631 and AD9632 the best attributes of both voltage and
current feedback amplifiers.
Large Signal Performance
The outstanding large signal operation of the AD9631 and
AD9632 is due to a unique, proprietary design architecture.
In order to maintain this level of performance, the maximum
550 V-MHz product must be observed, (e.g., @ 100 MHz,
≤ 5.5 V p-p).
V
O
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 AD9631 and AD9632 were designed primarily to drive
nonreactive loads. If driving loads with a capacitive component
is desired, the best frequency response is obtained by the addition of a small series resistance as shown in Figure 60. The accompanying graph shows the optimum value for R
SERIES
vs.
capacitive load. It is worth noting that the frequency response of
the circuit when driving large capacitive loads will be dominated
by the passive roll-off of R
SERIES
and CL.

APPLICATIONS
The AD9631 and AD9632 are voltage feedback amplifiers well
suited for such applications as photodetectors, active filters, and
log amplifiers. The devices’ wide bandwidth (320 MHz), phase
margin (65°), low noise current (2.0 pA/√
Hz), and slew rate
(1300 V/µs) give higher performance capabilities to these appli-
cations over previous voltage feedback designs.
With a settling time of 16 ns to 0.01% and 11 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 AD9631
and AD9632 are ideal drivers for ADCs up to 12 bits.
Operation as a Video Line Driver
The AD9631 and AD9632 have been designed to offer outstanding performance as video line drivers. The important
specifications of differential gain (0.02%) 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 AD9631 and
AD9632 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 AD9631 and AD9632
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 63 is an example of a 20 MHz low pass multiple feedback active filter using an AD9632.

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.

Layout Considerations
The specified high speed performance of the AD9631 and
AD9632 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 64). 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 AD9631 and AD9632 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.
