The LH0032, like most high speed circuits, is sensitive to
layout and stray capacitance. Power supplies should be
bypassed as near to pins 10 and 12 as practicable with low
inductance capacitors such as 0.01µF disc ceramics.
Compensation components should also be located close to
the appropriate pins to minimize stray reac ta nces .

free-air ambient temperature when supplies are ±15V. The
device temperature will stabilize within 5-10 minutes after
application of power, and the input bias currents measured at
that time will be indicative of normal operating currents. An
additional rise would occur as power is delivered to a load due
to additional internal power dissipation .
There is an additional effect on input bias current as the input
voltage is changed. The effect, common to all FETs, is an
avalanche-like increase in gate current as the FET
gate-to-drain voltage is increased above a critical value
depending on FET geometry and doping levels. This effect
will be noted as the input voltage of the LH0032 is taken
below ground potential when the supplies are ±15V. All of the
effects described here may be minimized by operating the
device with V
≤±15V.

These effec ts are indicat ed in th e typical per for m ance curves.
Input Capacitance
The input capacitance to the LH0032/LH0032C is typically
5pF and thus may form a significant time constant with high
value resistors. For optimum performance, the input
capacitance to the inverting input should be compensated by
a small capacitor across the feedback resistor. The value is
strongly dependent on layout and closed loop gain, but will
typically be in the neighbor hood of several picof arad s.
In the non-inverting configura tion, it may be advantageous to
bootstrap the case and/or a guard conductor to the inverting
input. This serves both to divert leakage currents away from
the non-inverting input and to reduce the effective input
capacitance. A unity gain follower so treated will have an
input capacitance under a picofarad .

Although this approach offers the shortest settling time, the
falling edge exhibits overshoot up to 30% lasting 200 to
300ns.
Figure 4
shows the typical pulse response.
If obtaining minimum ringing at the falling edge is the prima ry
objective, a slight modification to the above is recommended.
It is based on the sam e circuit as tha t of

waveform is shown in
Figure 6.
The settli ng t ime to 1% final
value is actually superior to the first method of compensation.
However, the LH0032 suffers slow settling thereafter to 0.1%
accuracy at the falling edge, and nearly four times as much at
the rising edge, compared to the previous scheme. Note,
however, that the falling edge ringing is considerably r educ ed.
Furthermore , the slew rate is consistently superior using this
compensation because of the smaller value of Miller
capacitance C
required.

The second compensation scheme works well with both
inverting or non-inverting modes.
Figure 7
shows the circuit
schematic, in which a 270ohm re sist or and a 0.0 1 µF capacit or
are shunted across the inputs of the device. This lag
compensation introduces a zero in the loop modifying the
response such that adequate phase margin is preserved at
unity gain crossover frequency. Note that the circuit requires
no additional compen sation.
Heat Sinki ng
While the LH0032 is specified for operation without any
explicit heat sink, internal power dissipation does cause a
significant temperature rise. Improved bias current
performance can thus be obtained by l imiting this t em p er at ur e
rise with a small heat sink such as the Therm alloy No. 2241 or
equivalent. The case of the device has no internal
connection, so it may be electrically connected to the sink if
this is advantageous. However, that this will affect the stray
capacitance to all pins and may thus require adjustment of
circuit compensation values.
