The EL5292C is a dual current feedback amplifier with a very h igh
bandwidth of 600MHz. This makes this amplifier ideal for today’s
high speed video and monitor applications .
With a supply current of just 6mA per amplifier and the ability to run
from a single supply voltage from 5V to 10V, the EL5292C is also
ideal for hand held, portable or battery powered equipment.
The EL5292C is offered in the industry standard 8-pin SO. The
EL5292C operates over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to
+85°C.

The EL5292C is a current-feedback operational amplifier that offers a wide -3dB bandwidth of 600MHz and a
low supply current of 6mA per amplifier. The EL5292C
works with supply voltages ranging from a single 5V to
10V and they are also capabl e of swi ngi ng t o wi thin 1 V
of either supply on the output. Because of their currentfeedback topolo gy , t he EL 5 29 2C do es not hav e t he nor mal gain-bandwidth product associated with voltagefeedback operational amp lifiers. Instead, its -3dB bandwidth to remain relatively c onstant as c losed-loop gain is
increased. This combination of high bandwidth and low
power, together with aggressive pricing make the
EL5292C the ideal choice for many low-power/highbandwidth applications such as portable, handheld, or
battery-powered equipment.
For varying bandwidth needs, con sider the EL5191C

with 300MHz on a 4mA supply current. Versions
include single, dua l, a nd tri ple amp pa cka ges w ith 5-p in
SOT23, 16-pin QSOP, and 8-pin or 16-pin SO out li nes.
Power Supply Bypassing and Printed Circuit
Board Layout
As with any hig h fr e que ncy d evi ce , good pr in te d c irc uit
board layout is necessary for optimum performance.
Low impedance ground plane construction is essential.
Surface mount components are recommended, but if
leaded components are used, lead lengths should be as
short as possible. The power supply pi ns must be well
bypassed to reduce the risk of os cilla tion. The co mbin ation of a 4.7µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a
0.01µ F capacitor has been shown to work well when
placed at each supply pin.
For good AC performance, parasitic capacitan ce should
be kept to a minimum, especially at the inverting input.
(See the Capacitance at the Inverting Input section) Even
when ground plane construction i s used, it should be
removed from the area near the inverting input to minimize any stray capacitance at that node. Carbon or
Metal-Film resistors are acceptable with the Metal-Film
resistors giving slightly less peaking and bandwidth
because of additional series inductance. Use of sockets,
particularly for the SO package, should be avoided if
possible. Sockets add parasitic ind uctance and c apacitance which will result in additional peaking and
overshoot.
Capacitance at the Inverting Input
Any manufacturer’s high-speed voltage- or currentfeedback amplifier can b e affected by stra y capacitan ce
at the inverting input. For inverting gains, this parasitic
capacitance has little e ffect because t he inverting i nput is
a virtual ground, but for non- inve rtin g gain s, this ca pacitance (in conjunction with the feedback and gain
resistors) creates a pole in the feedback path of the
amplifier. This pole, if low enough in frequency, has the
same destabilizing effect as a ze ro in the forward openloop response. The use of large-value feedback and gain
resistors exacerbates the problem by further lowering
the pole frequency (increasing the possibility of
oscillation.)
The EL5292C has been optimized with a 375Ω feedback
resistor. With the high bandwidth of these amplifiers,
these resistor values might cause stability problems
when combined with parasitic capacitance, thus ground
plane is not recommende d aroun d the inv erting in put pi n
of the amplifier.
Feedback Resistor Values

EL5292C is a current-feedback a mplifier, i t is als o possible to change the value of R
As seen in the curve of Frequency Response for Various
RF and RG, bandwidth and pea king can be easily modified by varying the value of the feedback resi stor.
Because the EL5292C is a current-feedback amplifier,
its gain-bandwidth product is not a constant for different
closed-loop gains. This feature actually allows the
EL5292C to maintain about the same -3dB bandwidth.
As gain is increased, bandwidth decreases slightly while
stability increases. Since the loop stability is improving
approximately 375Ω. This value of feed-

Supply Voltage Range and Single-Supply
Operation
The EL5292C has been designed to operate with supply
voltages having a span of greater than 5V and less than
10V. In practical terms, this means that the EL5292C
will operate on dual supplies ranging from ±2.5V to
±5V. With single-supply, the EL5292C will operate
from 5V to 10V.
As supply voltages continue to decrease, it becomes necessary to provide input and output voltage ranges that
can get as close as possible to the supply voltages. The
EL5292C has an input ran ge which e xtends to with in 2V
of either supply. So, for example, on ±5V supplies, the
EL5292C has an input ran ge wh ic h span s ±3V. The output range of the EL5292C is also quite large, extending
to within 1V of the supply rail. On a ±5V supply, the
output is therefore capable of swinging from -----4V to
+4V. Single-sup ply output range is l arg e r be c au s e o f the
increased negative swing due to the external pull-down
resistor t o gr o u n d.
Video Performance
For good video performance, an amplifier is required to
maintain the same output impedance and the same frequency response as DC level s are changed at the output.
This is especially difficult when driving a standard vid eo
load of 150Ω, because of the change in output current
with DC level. Previously, good differential gain could
only be achieved by running high idle currents through
the output transistors (to reduce variations in output
impedance.) These currents were typically comparable
to the entire 6mA supply current of each EL5292C
amplifier. Special circuitry has been incorporated in the
EL5292C to reduce the variation of output impedance
with current output. This results in dG and dP specifications of 0.015% and 0.04°, while driving 150Ω at a gain
of 2.
Video performance has also been measured with a 500Ω
load at a gain of +1. Under these conditions, the
EL5292C has dG and dP specifications of 0.03% and
0.05°, respectively.
Output Drive Capability
In spite of its low 6mA of supply current, the EL5292C
is capable of providin g a minimu m of ±95mA of ou tput
current. With a minimum of ±95mA of output drive, the
EL5292C is capable of driving 50Ω loads to both rails,
making it an excellent choice for driving isolation transformers in telecommunications applications.
Driving Cables and Capacitive Loads
When used as a cable driver, double termination is
always recommended for reflection-free perfo rmance.
For those applications, the back-term ina tion series re sistor will decouple the EL5292C from the c ab le an d allo w
extensive capacitive drive. However, other applications
may have high capaci tiv e loa ds wit hout a b ack -te rmination resistor. In these applications, a small series resist or
(usually between 5Ω and 50Ω) can be placed in series
with the output to eliminate most peaking. The gain

is possible to exceed the 125°C Absolute Maximum
