CLC405
Low Cost, Low Power, 110MHz Op Amp with Disable
General Description
The CLC405 is a low cost, wideband (110MHz) op amp
featuring a TTL-compatible disable which quickly switches
off in 18ns and back on in 40ns. While disabled, the CLC405
has a very high input/output impedance and its total power
consumption drops to a mere 8mW. When enabled, the
CLC405 consumes only 35mW and can source or sink an
output current of 60mA. These features make the CLC405 a
versatile, high speed solution for demanding applications
that are sensitive to both power and cost.
Utilizing National’s proven architectures, this current feedback amplifier surpasses the performance of alternative solutions and sets new standards for low power at a low price.
This power conserving op amp achieves low distortion with
−72dBc and −70dBc for second and third harmonics respectively. Many high source impedance applications will benefit
from the CLC405’s 6MΩ input impedance. And finally, designers will have a bipolar part with an exceptionally low
100nA non-inverting bias current.
With 0.1dB flatness to 50MHz and low differential gain and
phase errors, the CLC405 is an ideal part for professional
video processing and distribution. However, the 110MHz
−3dB bandwidth (AV = +2) coupled with a 350V/µs slew rate
also make the CLC405 a perfect choice in cost sensitive
applications such as video monitors, fax machines, copiers,
and CATV systems.

Application Division
Feedback Resistor
The feedback resistor, Rf, determines the loop gain and
frequency response for a current feedback amplifier. Unless
otherwise stated, the performance plots and data sheet
specify CLC405 operation with Rf of 348Ω at a gain of +2V/V.
Optimize frequency response for different gains by changing
Rf. Decrease to peak frequency response and extend bandwidth. Increase Rf to roll off the frequency response and
decrease bandwidth. Use a 2kΩ Rf for unity gain, voltage
follower circuits.
Use application note OA-13 to optimize your Rf selection.
The equations in this note are a good starting point for
selecting Rf. The value for the inverting input impedance for
OA-13 is approximately 182Ω.
Enable/Disable Operation Using ± 5V Supplies
01270320
The CLC405 has a TTL & CMOS logic compatible disable
function. Apply a logic low (i.e. < 0.8V) to pin 8, and the
CLC405 is guaranteed disabled across its temperature
range. Apply a logic high to pin 8, (i.e. > 2.0V) and the
CLC405 is guaranteed enabled. Voltage, not current, at pin 8
determines the enable/disable state of the CLC405.
Disable the CLC405 and its inputs and output become high
impedances. While, disabled, the CLC405’s quiescent
power drops to 8mW.
Use the CLC405’s disable to create analog switches or
multiplexers. Implement a single analog switch with one
CLC405 positioned between an input and output. Create an
analog multiplexer with several CLC405s. Tie the outputs
together and put a different signal on each CLC405 input.
Operate the CLC405 without connecting pin 8. An internal
20kΩ pull-up resistor guarantees the CLC405 is enabled
when pin 8 is floating.
www.national.com
FIGURE 1. Enable/Disable Operation for Single or
Unbalanced Supply Operation
Figure 1 illustrates the internal enable/disable operation of
the CLC405. When pin 8 is left floating or is tied to +VCC, Q1
is on and pulls tail current through the CLC405 bias circuitry.
When pin 8 is less than 0.8V above the supply midpoint, Q1
stops tail current from flowing in the CLC405 circuitry. The
CLC405 is now disabled.
Disable Limitations
The feedback resistor, Rf, limits off isolation in inverting gain
configurations. Do not apply voltages greater than +VCC or
less than -VEE to pin 8 or any other pin.
Input - Bias Current, Impedance, and Source Termination Considerations
The CLC405 has:
• a 6MΩ non-inverting input impedance.
• a 100nA non-inverting input bias current.
If a large source impedance application is considered, remove all parasitic capacitance around the non-inverting input
source traces. Parasitic capacitances near the input and
source act as a low-pass filter and reduce bandwidth
8
CLC405
Application Division
(Continued)
Current feedback op amps have uncorrelated input bias
currents. These uncorrelated bias currents prevent source
impedance matching on each input from canceling offsets.
Refer to application note OA-07 of the data book to find
specific circuits to correct DC offsets.
Layout Considerations
Whenever questions about layout arise, USE THE EVALUATION BOARD AS A TEMPLATE.
Use the CLC730013 and CLC730027 evaluation boards for
the DIP and SOIC respectively. These board layouts were
optimized to produce the typical performance of the CLC405
shown in the data sheet. To reduce parasitic capacitances,
the ground plane was removed near pins 2,3, and 6. To
reduce series inductance, trace lengths of components and
nodes were minimized.
Parasitics on traces degrade performance. Minimize coupling from traces to both power and ground planes. Use low
inductive resistors for leaded components.
Do not use dip sockets for the CLC405 DIP amplifiers. These
sockets can peak the frequency domain response or create
overshoot in the time domain response. Use flush-mount
socket pins when socketing is necessary. The 730013 circuit
board device holes are sized for Cambion P/N 450-2598
socket pins or their functional equivalent.
Insert the back matching resistor (ROUT) shown in Figure 2
when driving coaxial cable or a capacitive load. Use the plot
in the typical performance section labeled “Settling Time vs.
Capacitive Load” to determine the optimum resistor value for
ROUT for different capacitive loads. This optimal resistance
improves settling time for pulse-type applications and increases stability.

The value for Rpd in Figure 3 is determined by:
at ± 5V supplies.
Wideband Digital PGA
As shown on the front page, the CLC405 is easily configured
as a digitally controlled programmable gain amplifier. Make a
PGA by configuring several amplifiers at required gains.
Keep Rf near 348Ω and change Rg for each different gain.
Use a TTL decoder that has enough outputs to control the
selection of different gains and the buffer stage. Connect the
buffer stage like the buffer on the front page. The buffer
isolates each gain stage from the load and can produce a
gain of zero for a gain selection of zero. Use of an inverter
(7404) on the buffer disable pin to keep the buffer operational at all gains except zero. Or float the buffer disable pin
for a continuous enable state.
Amplitude Equalization
Sending signals over coaxial cable greater than 50 meters in
length will attenuate high frequency signal components.
Equalizers restore the attenuated components of this signal.
The circuit in Figure 4, is an op amp equalizer. The RC
networks peak the response of the CLC405 at higher fre-
01270318
FIGURE 2.
Use power-supply bypassing capacitors when operating this
amplifier. Choose quality 0.1µF ceramics for C1 and C2.
Choose quality 6.8µF tantalum capacitors for C3 and C4.
Place 0.1µF capacitors within 0.1 inches from the power
pins. Place the 6.8µF capacitors within 3/4 inches from the
power pins.
Video Performance vs. IEX
Improve the video performance of the CLC405 by drawing
extra current from the amplifier output stage. Using a single
external resistor as shown in Figure 3, you can adjust the
differential phase. Video performance vs. IEX is illustrated
below in Graph 1. This graph represents positive video
performance with negative synchronization pulses.

cancels fz1. Place a second zero at a higher frequency (fz2 @
12Mhz). R2 & C2 provide a canceling pole (of fp2 = 25Mhz).
