Description

The CLC411 is a high-speed current-feedback operational

amplifier which operates from ±15V power supplies.

voltages internally. The amplifier itself sees

approximately ±6.5V rails. Thus the device yields

performance comparable to Comlinear’s ±5V devices,

but with higher supply voltages. There is no degradation

in rated specifications when the CLC411 is operated

from ±12V. A slight reduction in bandwidth will be

observed with ±10V supplies. Operation at less than

±10V is not recommended.

A block diagram of the amplifier and regulator topology

is shown in Figure 2, “CLC411 Equivalent Circuit.” The

regulators derive their reference voltage from an internal

floating zener voltage source. External control of the

zener reference pins can be used to level-shift amplifier

operation which is discussed in detail in the section

Power Supply Decoupling

There are four pins associated with the power supplies.

Figures 1 and 3 , “Recommended Non-inverting Gain

Circuit” and "Recommended Inverting Gain Circuit"

show the recommended supply decoupling scheme

with four ceramic and two electrolytic capacitors. The

ceramic capacitors must be placed immediately adjacent

to the device pins and connected directly to a good

If this noise is not a concern these capacitors may be

eliminated.

specified and guaranteed in the “Electrical

Characteristics” table. The “Typical Performance” plot,

“Differential Gain and Phase (4.43MHz)” shows the

differential gain and phase performance of the CLC411

when driving from one to four video loads. Application

note OA-08, “Differential Gain and Phase for Composite

Video Systems,” describes in detail the techniques

used to measure differential gain and phase.

feedback operational amplifier is determined largely by
