The LMH664XEP family true single supply voltage feedback
amplifiers offer high speed (130MHz), low distortion
(−62dBc), and exceptionally high output current (approximately 75mA) at low cost and with reduced power consumption when compared against existing devices with similar
performance.
Input common mode voltage range extends to 0.5V below V
and 1V from V+. Output voltage range extends to within
40mV of either supply rail, allowing wide dynamic range
especially desirable in low voltage applications. The output
stage is capable of approximately 75mA in order to drive
heavy loads. Fast output Slew Rate (130V/µs) ensures large
peak-to-peak output swings can be maintained even at
higher speeds, resulting in exceptional full power bandwidth
of 40MHz with a 3V supply. These characteristics, along with
low cost, are ideal features for a multitude of industrial and
commercial applications.
Careful attention has been paid to ensure device stability
under all operating voltages and modes. The result is a very
well behaved frequency response characteristic (0.1dB gain
flatness up the 12MHz under 150Ω load and A
minimal peaking (typically 2dB maximum) for any gain setting and under both heavy and light loads. This along with
fast settling time (68ns) and low distortion allows the device
to operate well in ADC buffer, and high frequency filter
applications as well as other applications.
This device family offers professional quality video performance with low DG (0.01%) and DP (0.01˚) characteristics.
Differential Gain and Differential Phase characteristics are
also well maintained under heavy loads (150Ω) and throughout the output voltage range. The LMH664XEP family is
offered in single (LMH6642EP), dual (LMH6643EP), and
quad (LMH6644EP) options. See ordering information for
packages offered.

Application Hints
This Op Amp family is a drop-in replacement for the AD805X
family of high speed Op Amps in most applications. In addition, the LMH664XEP will typically save about 40% on power
dissipation, due to lower supply current, when compared to
competition. All AD805X family’s guaranteed parameters are
included in the list of LMH664XEP guaranteed specifications
in order to ensure equal or better level of performance.
However, as in most high performance parts, due to subtleties of applications, it is strongly recommended that the
performance of the part to be evaluated is tested under
actual operating conditions to ensure full compliance to all
specifications.
With 3V supplies and a common mode input voltage range
that extends 0.5V below V

supplies, the −3dB BW (
AV= +1) is typically 115MHz with
a tested limit of 80MHz. Production testing guarantees that
process variations with not compromise speed. High frequency response is exceptionally stable confining the typical
-3dB BW over the industrial temperature range to
As can be seen from the typical performance plots, the
LMH664XEP output current capability (∼75mA) is enhanced
compared to AD805X. This enhancement, increases the
output load range, adding to the LMH664XEP’s versatility.
Because of the LMH664XEP’s high output current capability
attention should be given to device junction temperature in
order not to exceed the Absolute Maximum Rating.

This device family was designed to avoid output phase
reversal. With input overdrive, the output is kept near supply
rail (or as closed to it as mandated by the closed loop gain
setting and the input voltage). See Figure 1:

However, if the input voltage range of −0.5V to 1V from V
is
exceeded by more than a diode drop, the internal ESD
protection diodes will start to conduct.The current in the
diodes should be kept at or below 10mA.
Output overdrive recovery time is less than 100ns as can be
seen from Figure 2 plot:

SINGLE SUPPLY, LOW POWER PHOTODIODE
AMPLIFIER
The circuit shown in Figure 3 is used to amplify the current
from a photo-diode into a voltage output. In this circuit, the
emphasis is on achieving high bandwidth and the transimpedance gain setting is kept relatively low. Because of its
high slew rate limit and high speed, the LMH664XEP family
lends itself well to such an application.
This circuit achieves approximately 1V/mA of transimpedance gain and capable of handling up to 1mA
photodiode. Q1, in a common base configuration, isolates
the high capacitance of the photodiode (C
Amp input in order to maximize speed. Input is AC coupled
through C1 to ease biasing and allow single supply operation. With 5V single supply, the device input/output is shifted
to near half supply using a voltage divider from V
that Q1 collector does not have any voltage swing and the
Miller effect is minimized. D1, tied to Q1 base, is for temperature compensation of Q1’s bias point. Q1 collector current was set to be large enough to handle the peak-to-peak
photodiode excitation and not too large to shift the U1 output
too far from mid-supply.

ground will cause frequency response peaking and possible
circuit oscillations (see Application Note OA-15 for more
information). National Semiconductor suggests the following
evaluation boards as a guide for high frequency layout and
as an aid in device testing and characterization:

These free evaluation boards are shipped when a device
sample request is placed with National Semiconductor.
Another important parameter in working with high speed/
high performance amplifiers, is the component values selection. Choosing external resistors that are large in value will
effect the closed loop behavior of the stage because of the
interaction of these resistors with parasitic capacitances.
These capacitors could be inherent to the device or a byproduct of the board layout and component placement. Either way, keeping the resistor values lower, will diminish this
interaction to a large extent. On the other hand, choosing
very low value resistors could load down nodes and will
contribute to higher overall power dissipation.
