General Description
The LMH6645 (single) and LMH6646 (dual), rail-to-rail input
and output voltage feedback amplifiers, offer high speed
(55MHz), and low voltage operation (2.7V) in addition to
micro-power shutdown capability (LMH6647, single).
Input common modevoltage range exceeds either supply by
0.3V, enhancing ease of use in multitude of applications
where previously only inferior devices could be used. Output
voltage range extends to within 20mV of either supply rails,
allowing wide dynamic range especially in low voltage applications. Even with low supply current of 650µA/amplifier,
output current capability is kept at a respectable
driving heavier loads. Important device parameters such as
BW, Slew Rate and output current are kept relatively independent of the operating supply voltage by a combination of
process enhancements and design architecture.
In portable applications, the LMH6647 provides shutdown
capability while keeping the turn-off current to less than
50µA. Both turn-on and turn-off characteristics are well behaved with minimal output fluctuations during transitions.
This allows the part to be used in power saving mode, as
well as multiplexing applications. Miniature packages
(SOT23, MSOP-8, and SO-8) are further means to ease the
adoption of these low power high speed devices in applications where board area is at a premium.

Application Notes
Circuit Description:
The LMH6645/6646/6647 family is based on National Semiconductor’s proprietary VIP10 dielectrically isolated bipolar
process.
LMH6645/46/47
This device family architecture features the following:
Complimentary bipolar devices with exceptionally high f

•

This architecture allows output to reach within milli-volts

(2.7V-10V) with little variation with supply voltage for the
most important specifications (e.g. BW, SR, I
Application Hints:

a NPN stage. The NPN stage is switched on whenever the
input is less than 1.2V from V
rest of the range. In terms of the input voltage, there is an
overlapping region where both stages are processing the
input signal. This region is about 0.5V from beginning to the
end. As far as the device application is concerned, this
transition is a transparent operation. However, keep in mind
that the input bias current value and direction will depend on
which input stage is operating (see typical performance
characteristics for plots). For low distortion applications, it is
best to keep the input common mode voltage from transversing this transition point. Low gain settling applications, which
generally encounter larger peak-to-peak input voltages,
could be configured as inverting stages to eliminate common
mode voltage fluctuations.
In terms of the output, when the output swing approaches
either supply rail, the output transistor will enter a
Quasi-saturated state. A subtle effect of this operational
region is that there is an increase in supply current in this
state (up to 1mA). The onset of Quasi-saturation region is a
function of output loading (current) and varies from 100mV at
no load to about 1V when output is delivering 20mA, as
measured from supplies. Both input common mode voltage
and output voltage level effect the supply current (see typical
performance characteristics for plot).
With 2.7V supplies and a common mode input voltage range
thatextendsbeyondeithersupplyrail,the
LMH6645/6646/6647 family is well suited to many low
voltage/low power applications. Even with 2.7V supplies, the

+
and the PNP stage covers the
OUT
, etc.)
−3dB BW (
@
AV= +1) is typically 55MHz with a tested limit
of 45MHz. Production testing guarantees that process variations will not compromise speed.
This device family is designed to avoid output phase reversal. With input over-drive, the output is kept near the supply
t
rail (or as close to it as mandated by the closed loop gain
setting and the input voltage).
Figure 1
, below, shows the
input and output voltage when the input voltage significantly
exceeds the supply voltages:
20020233
FIGURE 1. Input/Output Shown with Exceeded Input
CMVR
As can be seen, the output does not exhibit any phase
reversal as some op amps do. However, if the input voltage
range is exceeded by more than a diode drop beyond either
rail, the internal ESD protection diodes will start to conduct.
The current flow in these ESD diodes should be externally
limited.
LMH6647
Micro-power Shutdown
The LMH6647 can be shutdown to save power and reduce
its supply current to less than 50µAguaranteed, by applying
a voltage to the SD pin. The SD pin is “active high” and
needs to be tied to V
current (
to V
<
20µA, 4pF equivalent capacitance) and a resistor
−
(≤20kΩ) will result in normal operation. Shutdown is
guaranteed when SD pin is 0.4V or less from V
−
for normal operation. This input is low
+
at any
operating supply voltage and temperature.
In the shutdown mode, essentially all internal device biasing
is turned off in order to minimize supply current flow and the
output goes into Hi-Z (high impedance) mode. Complete
device Turn-on and Turn-off times vary considerably relative
to the output loading conditions, output voltage, and input
impedance, but is generally limited to less than 1µs (see
tables for actual data).

Page 15
Application Notes (Continued)
During shutdown, the input stage has an equivalent circuit as
shown below in
FIGURE 2. LMH6647 Equivalent Input in Shutdown
As can be seen above, in shutdown, there may be current
flow through the internal diodes shown, caused by input
potential, if present. This current may flow through the external feedback resistor and result in an apparent output signal.
In most shutdown applications the presence of this output is
inconsequential. However, if the output is “forced” by another
device such as in a multiplexer, the other device will need to
conduct the current described in order to maintain the output
potential.
To keep the output at or near ground during shutdown when
there is no other device to hold the output low, a switch
(transistor) could be used to shunt the output to ground.

As can be seen in
there are no spikes or glitches due to the switching. Switching times are approximately around 500ns based on the time
when the output is considered “valid”.
Printed Circuit Board Layout, Component Values Selection, and Evaluation Boards:
Generally, a good high-frequency layout will keep power
supply and ground traces away from the inverting input and
output pins. Parasitic capacitances on these nodes to

, the output is well behaved and
ground will cause frequency response peaking and possible
circuit oscillations (see Application Note OA-15 for more
information).
Another important parameter in working with high
speed/high performance amplifiers, is the component values
selection. Choosing large valued external resistors, 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
by-product of the board layout and component placement.
Either way, keeping the resistor values lower, will diminish
this interaction. On the other hand, choosing very low value
resistors could load down nodes and will contribute to higher
overall power dissipation.
National Semiconductor suggests the following evaluation
boards as a guide for high frequency layout and as an aid in
device testing and characterization:
