The LMH6559 is a high-speed, closed-loop buffer designed
for applications requiring the processing of very high frequency signals. While offering a small signal bandwidth of
1750MHz, and an ultra high slew rate of 4580V/µs the
LMH6559 consumes only 10mA of quiescent current. Total
harmonic distortion into a load of 100Ω at 20MHz is −52dBc.
The LMH6559 is configured internally for a loop gain of one.
Input resistance is 200kΩ and output resistance is but 1.2Ω.
These characteristics make the LMH6559 an ideal choice for
the distribution of high frequency signals on printed circuit
boards. Differential gain and phase specifications of 0.06%
and 0.02˚ respectively at 3.58MHz make the LMH6559 well
suited for the buffering of video signals.
The device is fabricated on National’s high-speed VIP10
process using National’s proven high performance circuit
architectures.

Note 1: “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. They are not meant to imply that the devices
should be operated at these limits. The table of “Electrical Characteristics” specifies conditions of device operation.
Note 2: Human body model, 1.5kΩ in series with 100pF
Note 3: Machine Model, 0Ω in series with 200pF.
Note 4: Applies to both single-supply and split-supply operation. Continuous short circuit operation at elevated ambient temperature can result in exceeding the
maximum allowed junction temperature of 150˚C
Note 5: Short circuit test is a momentary test. See next note
Note 6: The maximum power dissipation is a function of T
