LMH6628
Dual Wideband, Low Noise, Voltage Feedback Op Amp
General Description
The National LMH6628 is a high speed dual op amp that
offers a traditional voltage feedback topology featuring unity
gain stability and slew enhanced circuitry. The LMH6628’s
low noise and very low harmonic distortion combine to form
a wide dynamic range op amp that operates from a single
(5V to 12V) or dual (
Each of the LMH6628’s closely matched channels provides
a 300MHz unity gain bandwidth and low input voltage noise
density (2nV/
−74dBc at 10MHz) make the LMH6628 a perfect wide dynamic range amplifier for matched I/Q channels.
With its fast and accurate settling (12ns to 0.1%), the
LMH6628 is also an excellent choice for wide dynamic
range, anti-aliasing filters to buffer the inputs of hi resolution
analog-to-digital converters. Combining the LMH6628’s two
tightly matched amplifiers in a single 8-pin SOIC package
reduces cost and board space for many composite amplifier
applications such as active filters, differential line drivers/
receivers, fast peak detectors and instrumentation amplifiers.
The LMH6628 is fabricated using National’s VIP10

LOW NOISE DESIGN
Ultimate low noise performance from circuit designs using
the LMH6628 requires the proper selection of external resistors. By selecting appropriate low valued resistors for R

multiplied by the desired gain (AV).
DC BIAS CURRENTS AND OFFSET VOLTAGES
Cancellation of the output offset voltage due to input bias
currents is possible with the LMH6628. This is done by
making the resistance seen from the inverting and noninverting inputs equal. Once done, the residual output offset
voltage will be the input offset voltage (V

OUTPUT AND SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
±
With
5V supplies, the LMH6628 is capable of a typical
output swing of
±
3.8V under a no-load condition. Additional
output swing is possible with slightly higher supply voltages.
For loads of less than 50Ω, the output swing will be limited by
the LMH6628’s output current capability, typically 85mA.
Output settling time when driving capacitive loads can be
improved by the use of a series output resistor. See the plot
labeled "R

high frequency layout and as an aid in device evaluation.
ANALOG DELAY CIRCUIT (ALL-PASS NETWORK)
The circuit in Figure 1 implements an all-pass network using
the LMH6628. A wide bandwidth buffer (LM7121) drives the
circuit and provides a high input impedance for the source.
As shown in Figure 2, the circuit provides a 13.1ns delay
(with R = 40.2Ω, C = 47pF). R
and RGshould be of equal

and low value for parasitic insensitive operation.

LAYOUT
Proper power supply bypassing is critical to insure good high
frequency performance and low noise. De-coupling capacitors of 0.1µF should be placed as close as possible to the
power supply pins. The use of surface mounted capacitors is
recommended due to their low series inductance.
A good high frequency layout will keep power supply and
ground traces away from the inverting input and output pins.
Parasitic capacitance from these nodes to ground causes
frequency response peaking and possible circuit oscillation.

FULL DUPLEX DIGITAL OR ANALOG TRANSMISSION
Simultaneous transmission and reception of analog or digital
signals over a single coaxial cable or twisted-pair line can
reduce cabling requirements. The LMH6628’s wide bandwidth and high common-mode rejection in a differential amplifier configuration allows full duplex transmission of video,
telephone, control and audio signals.
In the circuit shown in Figure 3, one of the LMH6628’s amps
is used as a "driver" and the other as a difference "receiver"
amplifier. The output impedance of the "driver" is essentially
zero. The two R’s are chosen to match the characteristic
impedance of the transmission line. The "driver" op amp gain
can be selected for unity or greater.
