The CLC111 is a high performance, closed loop, monolithic
buffer designed for applications requiring very high
frequency signals.The CLC111’shigh performance includes
an extremely fast 800MHz small signal bandwidth (0.5
and an ultra high (3500V/µs) slew rate while requiring only
10.5mA quiescent current. Signal fidelity is maintained with
low harmonic distortion (−62dBc 2nd and 3rd harmonics at
20MHz). These performance characteristics are for a
demanding 100Ω load.
Featuring a patented closed loop design, the CLC111 offers
nearly ideal unity gain (0.996) with a very low (1.4Ω) output
impedance. The CLC111 is ideally suited for buffering video
signals with its 0.15%/0.04˚ differential gain and phase
performance at 4.43MHz. Power sensitive applications will
benefit from the CLC111’sexcellentperformance on reduced
or single supply voltages.
Constructed using an advanced, complementary bipolar
processandNational’sprovenhighperformance
architectures, the CLC111 is available in several versions to
meet a variety of requirements.

Application Division
Operation
CLC111
the CLC111 is a low-power, very high speedunity gain buffer.
It uses a closed loop topology which allows for accuracy not
usually found in high speed open loop buffers. A slew
enhanced front end allows for low quiescent power while not
sacrificing AC performance.
Single Supply Operation
Although the CLC111 is specified to operate from split
power supplies, there is no internal ground reference that
prevents operation from a single voltage power supply. For
single supply operation, the input signal should be biased at
a DC value of 1/2V
coupling and rebiasing, as shown in
Theabove electrical specificationsprovide typical
performance specifications for the CLC111 at 25˚ C while
operating from a single +3V or a single +5V power supply.
. This can be accomplished by AC
CC

Printed Circuit Layout and Supply Bypassing
As with any high frequency device, a good PCB layout is
required for optimum performance. This is especially
important for a device as fast as the CLC111.
To minimize capacitive feedthrough, pins 2, 3, 6, and 7
should be connected to the ground plane, as shown in
Figure 1
transmission lines with the appropriate termination resistors
±

very near the CLC111. On a 0.065 inch epoxy PCB material,
a 50 transmission line (commonly called stripline) can be
constructed by using a trace width of 0.01” over a complete
ground plane.
Figure 1
The ferrite beads are optional and are recommended only
where additional isolation is needed from high frequency
(
Parasitic or load capacitance directly on the output of the
CLC111 will introduce additional phase shift in the device.
This phase shift can decrease phase margin and increase
frequency response peaking. A small series resistor before
the capacitance effectively decouples this effect. The graphs
in this data sheetillustrate the required resistorvalueand the
resulting performance vs. capacitance.
Precision buffed resistors (PRP8351 series from Precision
Resistive Products), which have low parasitic reactances,
were used to develop the data sheet specifications.

spirally-trimmed RN55D metal file resistors will work, though
they will cause a slight degradation of AC performance due
to their reactive nature at high frequencies.
