LMH6718
Dual, High Output, Programmable Gain Buffer
General Description
The LMH6718 is a dual, low cost high speed (130MHz)
buffer which features user programmable gains of +2, +1,
and -1V/V. The LMH6718 also has a new output stage that
delivers high output drive current (200mA), but consumes
minimal quiescent supply current (2.6mA/Amp) from a
supply. Its current feedback architecture, fabricated in an
advanced complementary bipolar process, maintains consistent performance over a wide range of signal levels, and has
a linear phase response up to one half of the -3dB frequency.
The LMH6718 offers 0.1dB gain flatness to 30MHz and
differential gain and phase errors of .04% and .03˚. These
features are ideal for professional and consumer video applications.
The LMH6718 offers superior dynamic performance with a
130MHz small-signal bandwidth, 600V/µs slew rate and
4.2ns rise/fall times (2V
cent current, high output current drive, and high speed performance makes the LMH6718 well suited for many battery
powered personal communication/computing systems. The
ability to drive low impedance, high capacitive loads, makes
the LMH6718 ideal for single ended cable applications. It
also drives low impedance loads with minimum distortion.
The LMH6718 will drive a 100Ω load with only −84/−84dBc
second/third harmonic distortion (A
1MHz). It is also optimized for driving high currents into
single-ended transformers and coils. When driving the input
of high resolution A/D converters, the LMH6718 provides

SINGLE SUPPLY OPERATION (V
= +5V, VEE= GND)
CC
The specifications given in the +5V Electrical Characteristics table for single supply operation are measured with a
common mode voltage (V
) of 2.5V. VCMis the voltage
CM
around which the inputs are applied and the output voltages
are specified.
Operating from a single +5V supply, the Common Mode
Voltage Range (CMVR) of the LMH6718 is typically +0.8V to
+4.2V. The typical output range with R
= 100Ω is +1.0V to
L
+4.0V.
For single supply DC coupled operation, keep input signal
levels above 0.8V DC, AC coupling and level shifting the
signal are recommended. The non-inverting and inverting
configurations for both input conditions are illustrated in the
following 2 sections.

LOAD TERMINATION

DRIVING CABLES AND CAPACITIVE LOADS
When driving cables, double termination is used to prevent
reflections. For capacitive load applications, a small series
resistor at the output of the LMH6718 will improve stability
and settling performance. The Suggested R

resistance value for optimum flatness at various capacitive
loads.

TRANSMISSION LINE MATCHING
One method for matching the characteristic impedance (Z
of a transmission line or cable is to place the appropriate
resistor at the input or output of the amplifier. Figure 11
shows typical inverting and non-inverting circuit configurations for matching transmission lines.
Non-Inverting gain applications:

caused by the transmission line, or by parasitics.
Inverting gain applications:
Connect R3directly to ground.
•
Make the resistors R4,R6, and R7equal to ZO.
•
Make R5\ Rg=ZO.
•
The input and output matching resistors attenuate the signal
by a factor of 2, therefore additional gain is needed. Use C6
to match the output transmission line over a greater frequency range. C6 compensates for the increase of the amplifier’s output impedance with frequency.

General layout and supply bypassing play major roles in high
frequency performance. Follow the steps below as a basis
for high frequency layout:
Include 6.8µF tantalum and 0.1µF ceramic capacitors on

both supplies.
Place the 6.8µF capacitors within 0.75 inches of the

power pins.
Place the 0.1µF capacitors less than 0.1 inches from the
•
power pins.
Remove the ground plane under and around the part,
•
especially near the input and output pins to reduce parasitic capacitance.
Minimize all trace lengths to reduce series inductances.
•
Use flush-mount printed circuit board pins for prototyping,
•
never use high profile DIP sockets.

The evaluation boards are designed to accommodate dual

The circuit shown in Figure 16, operates as a differential line

value that best matches the LMH6718’s output capabilities.
The single-ended input signal is converted to a differential
signal by the LMH6718. The line’s characteristic impedance
is matched at both the input and the output. The schematic
