LMH6618 Single/LMH6619 Dual PowerWise130 MHz, 1.25 mA RRIO Operational Amplifiers
November 27, 2007
General Description
The LMH6618 (single, with shutdown) and LMH6619 (dual)
are 130 MHz rail-to-rail input and output amplifiers designed
for ease of use in a wide range of applications requiring high
speed, low supply current, low noise, and the ability to drive
complex ADC and video loads. The operating voltage range
extends from 2.7V to 11V and the supply current is typically
1.25 mA per channel at 5V. The LMH6618 and LMH6619 are
members of the PowerWise family and have an exceptional
power-to-performance ratio.
The amplifier’s voltage feedback design topology provides
balanced inputs and high open loop gain for ease of use and
accuracy in applications such as active filter design. Offset
voltage is typically 0.1 mV and settling time to 0.01% is 120
ns which combined with an 100 dBc SFDR at 100 kHz makes
the part suitable for use as an input buffer for popular 8-bit,
10-bit, 12-bit and 14-bit mega-sample ADCs.
The input common mode range extends 200 mV beyond the
supply rails. On a single 5V supply with a ground terminated
150Ω load the output swings to within 37 mV of the ground
rail, while a mid-rail terminated 1 kΩ load will swing to 77 mV
of either rail, providing true single supply operation and maximum signal dynamic range on low power rails. The amplifier
output will source and sink 35 mA and drive up to 30 pF loads
without the need for external compensation.
The LMH6618 has an active low disable pin which reduces
the supply current to 72 µA and is offered in the space saving
6-Pin TSOT23 package. The LMH6619 is offered in the 8-Pin
SOIC package. The LMH6618 and LMH6619 are available
with a −40°C to +125°C extended industrial temperature
grade.

Application Information
The LMH6618 and LMH6619 are based on National
Semiconductor’s proprietary VIP10 dielectrically isolated
bipolar process. This device family architecture features the
following:
•
Complimentary bipolar devices with exceptionally high f
(∼8 GHz) even under low supply voltage (2.7V) and low
bias current.
•
Common emitter push-push output stage. This
architecture allows the output to reach within millivolts of
either supply rail.
•
Consistent performance from any supply voltage
with little variation with supply voltage for the most
11V)
important specifications (e.g. BW, SR, I
•
Significant power saving compared to competitive devices
OUT
on the market with similar performance.
With 3V supplies and a common mode input voltage range
that extends beyond either supply rail, the LMH6618 and
LMH6619 are well suited to many low voltage/low power applications. Even with 3V supplies, the −3 dB BW
(at AV = +1) is typically 120 MHz.
The LMH6618 and LMH6619 are designed to avoid output
phase reversal. With input over-drive, the output is kept near
the supply rail (or as close to it as mandated by the closed
loop gain setting and the input voltage). Figure 1 shows the
input and output voltage when the input voltage significantly
exceeds the supply voltages.

.)
100 µA. The DISABLE pin is “active low” and should be connected through a resistor to V+ for normal operation. Shutdown is guaranteed when the DISABLE pin is 0.5V below the
supply midpoint at any operating supply voltage and temperature.
In the shutdown mode, essentially all internal device biasing
t
is turned off in order to minimize supply current flow and the
output goes into high impedance mode. During shutdown, the
input stage has an equivalent circuit as shown in Figure 2.

FIGURE 2. Input Equivalent Circuit During Shutdown
20195825
FIGURE 1. Input and Output Shown with CMVR Exceeded
If the input voltage range is exceeded by more than a diode
drop beyond either rail, the internal ESD protection diodes will
start to conduct. The current flow in these ESD diodes should
be externally limited.
The LMH6618 can be shutdown by connecting the
DISABLE pin to a voltage 0.5V below the supply midpoint
which will reduce the supply current to typically less than
When the LMH6618 is shutdown, there may be current flow
through the internal diodes shown, caused by input potential,
if present. This current may flow through the external feedback resistor and result in an apparent output signal. In most
shutdown applications the presence of this output is inconsequential. However, if the output is “forced” by another device, the other device will need to conduct the current
described in order to maintain the output potential.
To keep the output at or near ground during shutdown when
there is no other device to hold the output low, a switch using
a transistor can be used to shunt the output to ground.
SINGLE CHANNEL ADC DRIVER
The low noise and wide bandwidth make the LMH6618 an
excellent choice for driving a 12-bit ADC. Figure 3 shows the
schematic of the LMH6618 driving an ADC121S101. The ADC121S101 is a single channel 12-bit ADC. The LMH6618 is
set up in a 2nd order multiple-feedback configuration with a
gain of −1. The −3 dB point is at 500 kHz and the −0.01 dB
point is at 100 kHz. The 22Ω resistor and 390 pF capacitor
form an antialiasing filter for the ADC121S101. The capacitor
also stores and delivers charge to the switched capacitor input of the ADC. The capacitive load on the LMH6618 created
by the 390 pF capacitor is decreased by the 22Ω resistor.
Table 1 shows the performance data of the LMH6618 and the
ADC121S101.

When the op amp and the ADC are using the same supply, it
is important that both devices are well bypassed. A 0.1 µF
ceramic capacitor and a 10 µF tantalum capacitor should be
located as close as possible to each supply pin. A sample

CURRENT SENSE AMPLIFIER
With it’s rail-to-rail input and output capability, low VOS, and
low IB the LMH6618 is an ideal choice for a current sense
amplifier application. Figure 9 shows the schematic of the
LMH6618 set up in a low-side sense configuration which provides a conversion gain of 2V/A. Voltage error due to VOS can
be calculated to be VOS x (1 + RF/RG) or
0.6 mV x 21 = 12.6 mV. Voltage error due to IO is IO x RF or
LMH6618/LMH6619
0.26 µA x 1 kΩ = 0.26 mV. Hence total voltage error is
12.6 mV + 0.26 mV or 12.86 mV which translates into a current error of 12.86 mV/(2 V/A) = 6.43 mA.
FIGURE 9. Current Sense Amplifier
TRANSIMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER
By definition, a photodiode produces either a current or voltage output from exposure to a light source. A Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) is utilized to convert this low-level
current to a usable voltage signal. The TIA often will need to
be compensated to insure proper operation.

FIGURE 11. Bode Plot of Noise Gain Intersecting with Op
Amp Open-Loop Gain
Figure 11 shows the bode plot of the noise gain intersecting
the op amp open loop gain. With larger values of gain, CT and
RF create a zero in the transfer function. At higher frequencies
the circuit can become unstable due to excess phase shift
around the loop.
A pole at fP in the noise gain function is created by placing a
feedback capacitor (CF) across RF. The noise gain slope is
flattened by choosing an appropriate value of CF for optimum
performance.
Theoretical expressions for calculating the optimum value of
CF and the expected −3 dB bandwidth are:
20195862
FIGURE 10. Photodiode Modeled with Capacitance
Elements
Figure 10 shows the LMH6618 modeled with photodiode and
the internal op amp capacitances. The LMH6618 allows circuit operation of a low intensity light due to its low input bias
current by using larger values of gain (RF). The total capacitance (CT) on the inverting terminal of the op amp includes
the photodiode capacitance (CPD) and the input capacitance
of the op amp (CIN). This total capacitance (CT) plays an important role in the stability of the circuit. The noise gain of this
circuit determines the stability and is defined by:

(4)
Equation 4 indicates that the −3 dB bandwidth of the TIA is
inversely proportional to the feedback resistor. Therefore, if
the bandwidth is important then the best approach would be
to have a moderate transimpedance gain stage followed by a
broadband voltage gain stage.
Table 3 shows the measurement results of the LMH6618 with
different photodiodes having various capacitances (CPD) and
a feedback resistance (RF) of 1 kΩ.

noise voltage, feedback resistor thermal noise, input noise
current, photodiode noise current) do not all operate over the
same frequency band. Therefore, when the noise at the output is calculated, this should be taken into account. The op
amp noise voltage will be gained up in the region between the
noise gain’s zero and pole (fZ and fP in Figure 11). The higher
the values of RF and CT, the sooner the noise gain peaking
starts and therefore its contribution to the total output noise
will be larger. It is obvious to note that it is advantageous to
minimize CIN by proper choice of op amp or by applying a
reverse bias across the diode at the expense of excess dark
current and noise.
DIFFERENTIAL CABLE DRIVER FOR NTSC VIDEO
The LMH6618 and LMH6619 can be used to drive an NTSC
video signal on a twisted-pair cable. Figure 13 shows the
schematic of a differential cable driver for NTSC video. This
circuit can be used to transmit the signal from a camera over
a twisted pair to a monitor or display located a distance. C
and C2 are used to AC couple the video signal into the

LMH6619. The two amplifiers of the LMH6619 are set to a
gain of 2 to compensate for the 75Ω back termination resistors
on the outputs. The LMH6618 is set to a gain of 1. Because
of the DC bias the output of the LMH6618 is AC coupled. Most
monitors and displays will accept AC coupled inputs.
When analyzing the noise at the output of the TIA, it is important to note that the various noise sources (i.e. op amp
