CLC5602
Dual, High Output, Video Amplifier
General Description
The National CLC5602 has a new output stage that delivers
high output drive current (130mA), but consumes minimal
quiescent supply current (1.5mA/ch) from a single 5V supply.
Its current feedback architecture, fabricated in an advanced
complementary bipolar process, maintains consistent
performance over a wide range of gains and signal levels,
and has a linear phase response up to one half of the −3dB
frequency.
The CLC5602 offers a 0.1dB gain flatness to 22MHz and
differential gain and phase errors of 0.06
and 0.02%. These features are ideal for professional and
consumer video applications.
The CLC5602 offers superior dynamic performance with a
135MHz small-signal bandwidth, 300V/µs slew rate and a
5.7ns rise/fall times (2V
STEP
). The combination of low
quiescent power, high output current drive, and high speed
performance make the CLC5602 well suited for many
battery powered personal communication/computing sys-
tems.
The ability to drive low impedance, highly capacitive loads,
makes the CLC5602 ideal for single ended cable
applications. It also drives low impedance loads with
minimum distortion. The CLC5602 will drive a 100load
with only −86/−85dBc second/third harmonic distortion (A
V
=
+2, V
OUT
=2V
PP
, f = 1MHz). With a 25load, and the same
conditions, it produces only −86/−72dBc second/third
harmonic distortion.
The CLC5602 can also be used for driving differential-input
step-up transformers for applications such as Asynchronous
Digital Subscriber Lines (ADSL) or High-Bit-Rate Digital
Subscriber Lines (HDSL).
When driving the input of high resolution A/D converters, the
CLC5602 provides excellent −87/−95dBc second/third
harmonic distortion (A

Application Division
The CLC5602 is a current feedback amplifier fabricated in an
advanced complementary bipolar process. The CLC5602
operates from a single 5V supply or dual ±5V supplies.
Operating from a single supply, the CLC5602 has the
following features:
Provides 100mA of output current while consuming
7.5mW of power
Offers low −80/−82dB 2nd and 3rd harmonic distortion
Provides BW60MHz and 1MHz distortion <−65dBc at V
O
= 2.0V
PP
The CLC5602 performance is further enhanced in ±5V
supply applications as indicated in the ±5V Electrical
Characteristics table and ±5V Typical Performance plots.
Current Feedback Amplifiers
Some of the key features of current feedback technology
are:
Independence of AC bandwidth and voltage gain
Inherently stable at unity gain
Adjustable frequency response with feedback resistor
High slew rate
Fast settling
Current feedback operation can be described using a simple
equation. The voltage gain for a non-inverting or inverting
current feedback amplifier is approximately by Equation 1.

The denominator of Equation 1 is approximately equal to 1 at
low frequencies. Near the −3dB corner frequency, the
interaction between R

and Z(jω) dominates the circuit
performance. The value of the feedback resistor has a large
affect on the circuits performance. Increasing R

CLC5602 Design Information
Single Supply Operation (V
CC
=+5V, V
EE
=GND) The
specifications given in the +5V Electrical Characteristics
table for single supply operation are measured with a
common mode voltage (V
cm
) of 2.5V. V
cm
is the voltage
around which the inputs are applied and the output voltages
are specified.
Operating from a single +5V supply, the Common Mode
Input Range (CMIR) of the CLC5602 is typically +0.8V to
+4.2V. The typical output range with R
L
=100is +1.0V to
+4.0V.
For single supply DC coupled operation, keep input signal
levels above 0.8V DC. For input signals that drop below 0.8V
DC, AC coupling and level shifting the signal are
recommended. The non-inverting and inverting configura-
tions for both input conditions are illustrated in the following
2 sections.
DC Coupled Single Supply Operation
Figure 1
and
Figure
2
show the recommended non-inverting and inverting
configurations for input signals that remain above 0.8V DC.
AC Coupled Single Supply Operation
Figure 3
and
Figure 4
show possible non-inverting and
inverting configurations for input signals that go below 0.8V
DC. The input is AC coupled to prevent the need for level
shifting the input signal at the source. The resistive voltage
divider biases the non-inverting input to V
CC
÷ 2 = 2.5V (For
V
CC
= +5V).
Dual Supply Operation
The CLC5602 operates on dual supplies as well as single
supplies. The non-inverting and inverting configurations are
shown in
Figure 5

Feedback Resistor Selection
The feedback resistor, R
f
, affects the loop gain and
frequency response of a current feedback amplifier.
Optimum performance of the CLC5602, at a gain of +2V/V, is
achieved with R
f
equal to 750. The frequency response
plots in the Typical Performance sections illustrate the
recommended R
f
for several gains. These recommended
values of R
f
provide the maximum bandwidth with minimal
peaking. Within limits, R
f
can be adjusted to optimize the
frequency response.
Decrease R
f
to peak frequency response and extend
bandwidth
Increase R
f
to roll off frequency response and compress
bandwidth
As a rule of thumb, if the recommended R
f
is doubled, then
the bandwidth will be cut in half.
Unity Gain Operation
The recommended R
f
for unity gain (+1V/V) operation is
1k.R
f
is left open. Parasitic capacitance at the inverting
node may require a slight increase in R
f
to maintain a flat
frequency response.
Load Termination
The CLC5602 can source and sink near equal amounts of
current. For optimum performance, the load should be tied to
V
cm
.
Driving Cables and Capacitive Loads
When driving cables, double termination is used to prevent
reflections. For capacitive load applications, a small series
resistor at the output of the CLC5602 will improve stability
and settling performance. The Frequency Response vs. C
L
plot, shown below in
Figure 7
, gives the recommended
series resistance value for optimum flatness at various
capacitive loads.
Transmission Line Matching
One method for matching the characteristic impedance (z
o
)
of a transmission line or cable is to place the appropriate
resistor at the input or output of the amplifier.
Figure 8
shows typical inverting and non-inverting circuit
configurations for matching transmission lines.
Non-inverting gain applications:
Connect R

directly to ground.
Make R
1
,R
2
,R

, and R
7
equal to Z

Use R

to isolate the amplifier from reactive loading
caused by the transmission line, or by parasitics.
Inverting gain applications:

Make R

,R

The input and output matching resistors attenuate the signal
by a factor of 2, therefore additional gain is needed. Use C
6
to match the output transmission line over a greater
frequency range. C
6
compensates for the increase of the
amplifier’s output impedance with frequency.

the CLC5602:

Layout Considerations
A proper printed circuit layout is essential for achieving high
frequency performance. National provides evaluation boards
for the CLC5602 (CLC730038-DIP, CLC730036-SOIC) and
suggests their use as a guide for high frequency layout and
as an aid for device testing and characterization.
General layout and supply bypassing play major roles in high
frequency performance. Follow the steps below as a basis
for high frequency layout:
Include 6.8µF tantalum and 0.1µF ceramic capacitors on
both supplies.
Place the 6.8µF capacitors within 0.75 inches of the
power pins.
Place the 0.1µF capacitors less than 0.1 inches from the
power pins.
Remove the ground plane under and around the part,
especially near the input and output pins to reduce
parasitic capacitance.
Minimize all trace lengths to reduce series inductances.
Use flush-mount printed circuit board pins for prototyping,
never use high profile DIP sockets.
Evaluation Board Information
A data sheet is available for the CLC730038/CLC730036
evaluation boards. The evaluation board data sheet
provides:
Evaluation board schematics
Evaluation board layouts
General information about the boards
The evaluation boards are designed to accommodate dual
supplies. The boards can be modified to provide single
supply operation. For best performance; 1) do not connect
the unused supply, 2) ground the unused supply pin.
SPICE Models
SPICE models provide a means to evaluate amplifier
designs. Free SPICE models are available for National’s
monolithic amplifiers that:
Support Berkeley SPICE 2G and its many derivatives
Reproduce typical DC, AC, Transient, and Noise
performance
Support room temperature simulations
The readme file that accompanies the diskette lists released
models, and provides a list of modeled parameters. The
application note OA-18, Simulation SPICE Models for
National’s Op Amps, contains schematics and a
reproduction of the readme file.
Application Circuits
Single Supply Cable Driver
The typical application shown below shows one of the
CLC5602 amplifiers driving 10m of 75coaxial cable. The
CLC5602 is set for a gain of +2V/V to compensate for the

Single Supply Lowpass Filter
Figure 12
and
Figure 13
illustrate a lowpass filter and design
equations. The circuit operates from a single supply of +5V.
The voltage divider biases the non-inverting input to 2.5V.
And the input is AC coupled to prevent the need for level
shifting the input signal at the source. Use the design

Differential Line Driver with Load Impedance Conver-
sion
The circuit shown in the Typical Application schematic on
the front page and in
Figure 15
, operates as a differential line
driver. The transformer converts the load impedance to a
value that best matches the CLC5602’s output capabilities.
The single-ended input signal is converted to a differential
signal by the CLC5602. The line’s characteristic impedance
is matched at both the input and the output. The schematic
shows Unshielded Twisted Pair for the transmission line;
other types of lines can also be driven.
