The maximum power that the DIP and SOIC packages can
dissipate at a given temperature is illustrated in
Figure 9

The power derating curve for any CLC5602 package can be
derived by utilizing the following equation:

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 75Ωcoaxial cable. The
CLC5602 is set for a gain of +2V/V to compensate for the
divide-by-two voltage drop at V

.
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
equations to determine R
