Analog Delay Circuit (All-Pass Network)

The circuit in Figure 1 implements an all-pass network using

the CLC428. A wide bandwidth buffer (CLC111) drives the

circuit and provides a high input impedence for the source.

As shown in Figure 2, the circuit provides a

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 CLC428's wide

bandwidth and high common-mode rejection in a differen-

tial amplifier configuration allows full duplex transmission

of video, telephone, control and audio signals.

In the circuit shown in Figure 3, one of the CLC428'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.

Care must be given to layout and component placement to

maintain a high frequency common-mode rejection. The

plot of Figure 4 shows the simultaneous reception of

signals transmitted at 1MHz and 10MHz.

Five Decade Integrator

A composite integrator, as shown in Figure 5, uses the

CLC428 dual op amp to increase the circuits' usable
