The LT1222 is a low noise, very high speed operational
amplifier with superior DC performance. The LT1222 is
stable in a noise gain of 10 or greater without compensation, or the part can be externally compensated for lower
closed-loop gain at the expense of lower bandwidth and
slew rate. It features reduced input offset voltage, lower
input bias currents, lower noise and higher DC gain than
devices with comparable bandwidth and slew rate. The
circuit is a single gain stage that includes proprietary DC
gain enhancement circuitry to obtain precision with high
speed. The high gain and fast settling time make the circuit
an ideal choice for data acquisition systems. The circuit is
also capable of driving capacitive loads which makes it
useful in buffer or cable driver applications. The compensation node can also be used to clamp the output swing.
The LT1222 is a member of a family of fast, high performance amplifiers that employ Linear Technology
Corporation’s advanced complementary bipolar processing. For unity-gain stable applications the LT1220 can be
used, and for gains of 4 or greater the LT1221 can be used.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT1222 is stable in noise gains of 10 or greater and
may be inserted directly into HA2520/2/5, HA2541/2/4,
AD817, AD847, EL2020, EL2044 and LM6361 applications, provided that the nulling circuitry is removed and
the amplifier configuration has a high enough noise gain.
The suggested nulling circuit for the LT1222 is shown in

Layout and Passive Components
The LT1222 amplifier is easy to apply and tolerant of less
than ideal layouts. For maximum performance (for example, fast settling time) use a ground plane, short lead
lengths and RF-quality bypass capacitors (0.01µF to 0.1µF).
For high drive current applications use low ESR bypass
capacitors (1µF to 10µF tantalum). Sockets should be
avoided when maximum frequency performance is required. For more details see Design Note 50. Feedback
resistors greater than 5k are not recommended because a
pole is formed with the input capacitance which can cause
peaking or oscillations. Stray capacitance on pin 5 should
be minimized. Bias current cancellation circuitry is employed on the inputs of the LT1222 so the input bias current
and input offset current have identical specifications. For
this reason, matching the impedance on the inputs to
reduce bias current errors is not necessary.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Output Clamping
Access to the internal compensation node at pin 5 allows
the output swing of the LT1222 to be clamped. An example
is shown on the first page of this data sheet. The compensation node is approximately one diode drop above the
output and can source or sink 1.2mA. Back-to-back Schottky diodes clamp pin 5 to a diode drop above ground so the
output is clamped to ± 0.5V (the drop of the Schottkys at
1.2mA). The diode reference is bypassed for good AC
response. This circuit is useful for amplifying the voltage at
false sum nodes used in settling time measurements.
Capacitive Loading
The LT1222 is stable with capacitive loads. This is accomplished by sensing the load induced output pole and adding
compensation at the amplifier gain node. As the capacitive
load increases, both the bandwidth and phase margin
decrease. There will be peaking in the frequency domain as
shown in the curve of Frequency Response vs Capacitive
Load. The small-signal transient response will have more
overshoot as shown in the photo of the small-signal
response with 1000pF load. The large-signal response with
a 10,000pF load shows the output slew rate being limited
to 4V/µ s by the short-circuit current. The LT1222 can drive
coaxial cable directly, but for best pulse fidelity a resistor of
value equal to the characteristic impedance of the cable
(i.e., 75Ω) should be placed in series with the output. The
other end of the cable should be terminated with the same
value resistor to ground.
Compensation
The LT1222 has a typical gain-bandwidth product of
500MHz which allows it to have wide bandwidth in high
gain configurations (i.e., in a gain of 100, it will have a
bandwidth of about 5MHz). For added flexibility the amplifier frequency response may be adjusted by adding capacitance from pin 5 to ground. The compensation capacitor
may be used to reduce overshoot, to allow the amplifier to
be used in lower noise gains, or simply to reduce bandwidth. Table 1 shows gain and compensation capacitor
vresus – 3dB bandwidth, maximum frequency peaking and
small-signal overshoot.
For frequencies < 10MHz the frequency response of the
amplifier is approximately:
f = 1/[2π× 53Ω× (CC + 6pF) × (Noise Gain)]
The slew rate is affected as follows:
SR = 1.2mA/(CC + 6pF)
An example would be a gain of –10 (noise gain of 11) and
CC = 20pF which has 10.5MHz bandwidth and 46V/µ s slew
rate. It should be noted that the LT1222 is not stable in
AV = 1 unless CC = 50pF and a 1k resistor is used as the
feedback resistor. The 1k and input capacitance increase
the noise gain at frequency to aid stability.
