_______________general description the MAX4223?ax4228 current-feedback amplifiers combine ultra-high-speed performance, low distortion, and excellent video specifications with low-power oper- ation. the MAX4223/max4224/max4226/max4228 have a shutdown feature that reduces power-supply current to 350? and places the outputs into a high- impedance state. these devices operate with dual sup- plies ranging from ?.85v to ?.5v and provide a typical output drive current of 80ma. the MAX4223/ max4225/max4226 are optimized for a closed-loop gain of +1 (0db) or more and have a -3db bandwidth of 1ghz, while the max4224/max4227/max4228 are compensated for a closed-loop gain of +2 (6db) or more, and have a -3db bandwidth of 600mhz (1.2ghz gain-bandwidth product). the MAX4223?ax4228 are ideal for professional video applications, with differential gain and phase errors of 0.01% and 0.02? 0.1db gain flatness of 300mhz, and a 1100v/? slew rate. total harmonic distortion (thd) of -60dbc (10mhz) and an 8ns settling time to 0.1% suit these devices for driving high-speed analog-to-digital inputs or for data-communications applications. the low- power shutdown mode on the MAX4223/max4224/ max4226/max4228 makes them suitable for portable and battery-powered applications. their high output impedance in shutdown mode is excellent for multiplex- ing applications. the single MAX4223/max4224 are available in space- saving 6-pin sot23 packages. all devices are available in the extended -40? to +85? temperature range. ________________________applications adc input buffers data communications video cameras video line drivers video switches video multiplexing video editors xdsl drivers rf receivers differential line drivers ____________________________features ? ultra-high speed and fast settling time: 1ghz -3db bandwidth (MAX4223, gain = +1) 600mhz -3db bandwidth (max4224, gain = +2) 1700v/? slew rate (max4224) 5ns settling time to 0.1% (max4224) ? excellent video specifications (MAX4223): gain flatness of 0.1db to 300mhz 0.01%/0.02 dg/dp errors ? low distortion: -60dbc thd (f c = 10mhz) 42dbm third-order intercept (f = 30mhz) ? 6.0ma quiescent supply current (per amplifier) ? shutdown mode: 350? supply current (per amplifier) 100k output impedance ? high output drive capability: 80ma output current drives up to 4 back-terminated 75 loads to ?.5v while maintaining excellent differential gain/phase characteristics ? available in tiny 6-pin sot23 and 10-pin ?ax packages MAX4223?ax4228 1ghz, low-power, sot23, current-feedback amplifiers with shutdown ________________________________________________________________ maxim integrated products 1 v ee in- in+ 1 6 v cc 5 shdn out MAX4223 max4224 sot23-6 top view 2 3 4 _________________pin configurations 19-1230; rev 2a; 6/97 part MAX4223 eut-t MAX4223esa -40? to +85? -40? to +85? temp. range pin- package 6 sot23 8 so evaluation kit available ______________ordering information _____________________selector guide pin configurations continued at end of data sheet. ordering information continued at end of data sheet. for free samples & the latest literature: http://www.maxim-ic.com, or phone 1-800-998-8800 for small orders, phone 408-737-7600 ext. 3468. sot top mark aaad 10 ?ax, 14 so 8 so 10 ?ax, 14 so 8 so 6 sot23, 8 so 6 sot23, 8 so pin- package yes no yes no yes yes shut- down mode 2 2 2 2 1 1 amps per pkg. 2 2 max4227 max4228 1 part 1 max4225 max4226 2 1 MAX4223 max4224 min. gain

fiers allows them to achieve slew rates of up to 1700v/ s with corresponding large signal bandwidths up to 330mhz. each device in this family has an output that is capable of driving a minimum of 60ma of output current to 2.5v. theory of operation since the MAX4223?ax4228 are current-feedback amplifiers, their open-loop transfer function is expressed as a transimpedance: the frequency behavior of this open-loop transimped - ance is similar to the open-loop gain of a voltage-feed - back amplifier. that is, it has a large dc value and decreases at approximately 6db per octave. analyzing the current-feedback amplifier in a gain con - figuration (figure 1) yields the following transfer func - tion: at low gains, (g x r in- ) << r f . therefore, unlike tradi - tional voltage-feedback amplifiers, the closed-loop bandwidth is essentially independent of the closed- loop gain. note also that at low frequencies, t z >> [(g x r in- ) + r f ], so that: low-power shutdown mode the MAX4223/max4224/max4226/max4228 have a shutdown mode that is activated by driving the shdn input low. when powered from 5v supplies, the shdn input is compatible with ttl logic. placing the amplifier in shutdown mode reduces quiescent supply current to 350 a typical, and puts the amplifier output into a high- impedance state (100k typical). this feature allows these devices to be used as multiplexers in wideband systems. to implement the mux function, the outputs of multiple amplifiers can be tied together, and only the amplifier with the selected input will be enabled. all of the other amplifiers will be placed in the low-power shutdown mode, with their high output impedance pre - senting very little load to the active amplifier output. for gains of +2 or greater, the feedback network imped - ance of all the amplifiers used in a mux application must be considered when calculating the total load on the active amplifier output. __________ applications infor mation layout and power-supply bypassing the MAX4223?ax4228 have an extremely high band - width, and consequently require careful board layout, including the possible use of constant-impedance microstrip or stripline techniques. v v g r r out in f g = = + 1 . v v g x t s t s g x r r where g a r r out in z z in f v f g = ( ) ( ) + + = = + -

tance. 3) keep signal lines as short and straight as possible. do not make 90 turns; round all corners. 4) observe high-frequency bypassing techniques to maintain the amplifier? accuracy and stability. 5) in general, surface-mount components have shorter bodies and lower parasitic reactance, giving better high-frequency performance than through-hole com - ponents. the bypass capacitors should include a 10nf ceramic, surface-mount capacitor between each supply pin and the ground plane, located as close to the package as possible. optionally, place a 10 f tantalum capacitor at the power-supply pins?point of entry to the pc board to ensure the integrity of incoming supplies. the power- supply trace should lead directly from the tantalum capacitor to the v cc and v ee pins. to minimize para - sitic inductance, keep pc traces short and use surface- mount components. the n.c. pins should be connected to a common ground plane on the pc board to minimize parasitic coupling. if input termination resistors and output back-termina - tion resistors are used, they should be surface-mount types, and should be placed as close to the ic pins as possible. tie all n.c. pins to the ground plane to mini - mize parasitic coupling. choosing feedback and gain resistors as with all current-feedback amplifiers, the frequency response of these devices depends critically on the value of the feedback resistor r f . r f combines with an internal compensation capacitor to form the dominant pole in the feedback loop. reducing r f ? value increases the pole frequency and the -3db bandwidth, but also increases peaking due to interaction with other nondominant poles. increasing r f ? value reduces peaking and bandwidth. table 1 shows optimal values for the feedback resistor (r f ) and gain-setting resistor (r g ) for the MAX4223 |
