360MHz, Low Power, Video Operational
Amplifier with Output Limiting
The HFA1135 is a high speed, low power current feedback
amplifier build with Intersil’s proprietary complementary
bipolar UHF-1 process. This amplifier features user
programmable output limiting, via the V
The HFA1135 is the ideal choice for high speed, low power
applications requiring output limiting (e.g. flash A/D drivers),
especially those requiring fast overdriverecovery times. The
limiting function allows thedesignertosetthemaximum and
minimum output levels to protect downstream stages from
damage or input saturation. The sub-nanosecond overdrive
recovery time ensures a quick return to linear operation
following an overdrive condition.
Component and composite video systems also benefit from
this operational amplifier’s performance, as indicated by the
gain flatness, and differential gain and phase specifications.
The HFA1135 is a low power, high performance upgrade for
the CLC501 and CLC502.
CAUTION: Stresses above those listed in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress only rating and operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.
NOTE:
1. θJA is measured with the component mounted on a low effective thermal conductivity test board in free air. See Tech Brief TB379 for details.

3. The optimum feedback resistor for the HFA1135 at AV= +1 is 1.5kΩ. The Production Tested parameters are tested with RF= 510Ω because
the HFA1135 shares test hardware with the HFA1105 amplifier.
4. Undershoot dominates for output signal swings below GND (e.g., 0.5V
condition. See the “Application Information” section for details.
5. See Typical Performance Curves for more information.
6. Slew rates are asymmetrical if the output swings below GND (e.g., a bipolar signal). Positive unipolar output signals have symmetric positive and
negative slew rates comparable to the +SR specification. See the “Application Information” section, and the pulse response graphs for details.

Optimum Feedback Resistor
Although a current feedback amplifier’s bandwidth
dependency on closed loop gain isn’t as severe as that of a
voltage feedback amplifier, there can be an appreciable
decrease in bandwidth at higher gains. This decrease may
be minimized by taking advantage of the current feedback
amplifier’s unique relationship between bandwidth and R
All current feedback amplifiers require a feedback resistor,
even for unity gain applications, and R
, in conjunction with
F
the internal compensation capacitor, sets the dominant pole
of the frequency response. Thus, the amplifier’s bandwidth is
inversely proportional to R
optimized for a 250Ω R
. The HFA1135 design is

at a gain of +2. Decreasing R

decreases stability, resulting in excessive peaking and
overshoot (Note: Capacitive feedback will cause the same

problemsdue to the feedbackimpedance decrease at higher
frequencies). At higher gains the amplifier is more stable, so
R
can be decreased in a trade-off of stability for bandwidth.

Non-inverting Input Source Impedance
For best operation, the DC source impedance seen by the
non-inverting input should be ≥50Ω. This is especially
important in inverting gain configurations where the noninverting input would normally be connected directly toGND.
Pulse Undershoot and Asymmetrical Slew Rates
The HFA1135 utilizes a quasi-complementary output stage
to achieve high output current while minimizing quiescent
supply current. In this approach, a composite device
replaces the traditional PNP pulldown transistor. The
composite device switches modes after crossing 0V,
resulting in added distortion for signals swinging below
ground, and an increased undershoot on the negative
portion of the output waveform (see Figures 9, 13, and 17).
This undershoot isn’t present for small bipolar signals, or
large positive signals. Another artifact of the composite
device is asymmetrical slew rates for output signals with a
negative voltage component. Theslew rate degrades as the
output signal crosses through 0V (see Figures 9, 13, and
17), resulting in a slower overall negative slew rate. Positive
only signals havesymmetrical slew rates as illustrated in the
large signal positive pulse response graphs (see Figures 7,
11, and 15).
PC Board Layout
This amplifier’s frequency response depends greatly on the
care taken in designing the PC board. The use of low
inductance components such as chip resistors and chip
capacitors is strongly recommended, while a solid
ground plane is a must!
Attention should be given to decoupling the power supplies.
A large value (10µF) tantalum in parallel with a small value
(0.1µF) chip capacitor works well in most cases.
Terminated microstrip signal lines are recommended at the
input and output of the device. Capacitance directly on the
output must be minimized, or isolated as discussed in the
next section.
Care must also be taken to minimize the capacitance to
ground at the amplifier’s inverting input (-IN), as this
capacitance causes gain peaking, pulse overshoot, and if
large enough, instability. To reduce this capacitance, the
designer should remove the ground plane under traces
connected to -IN, and keep connections to -IN as short as
possible.
An example of a good high frequency layout is the
Evaluation Board shown in Figure 2.
Driving Capacitive Loads
Capacitive loads, such as an A/D input, or an improperly
terminated transmission line degrade the amplifier’s phase
margin resulting in frequency response peaking and
possible oscillations. In most cases, the oscillation can be
avoided by placing a resistor (R
prior to the capacitance.
Figure 1 details starting points for the selection of this
resistor. The points on the curve indicate the R
combinations for the optimum bandwidth, stability, and
settling time, but experimental fine tuning is recommended.
Picking a point above or to the right of the curve yields an
overdampedresponse, while points below or left of the curve
indicate areas of underdamped performance.
R
and CL form a low pass network at the output, thus
S
limiting system bandwidth well below the amplifier bandwidth
of 660MHz (A
= +1). By decreasing RSas CLincreases (as
V
illustrated by the curves), the maximum bandwidth is
obtained without sacrificing stability. In spite of this,
bandwidth still decreases as the load capacitance increases.
For example, at A
= +1, RS = 50Ω, CL = 20pF, the overall
V
bandwidth is 170MHz, but the bandwidth drops to 45MHz at
A
= +1, RS = 10Ω, CL = 330pF.
