General Description
The KH205 is a wideband overdrive-protected opera-
tional amplifier designed for applications needing
both speed and low power operation. Utilizing a
well-established current feedback architecture, the
KH205 exhibits performance far beyond that of
conventional voltage feedback op amps. For example,
the KH205 has a bandwidth of 170MHz at a gain of
+20 and settles to 0.1% in 22ns. Plus, the KH205 has
a combination of important features not found in
other high-speed op amps.
For example, the KH205 has been designed to consume
little power – 570mW at ±15V supplies. The result is
lower power supply requirements and less system-
level heat dissipation. In addition, the device can be
operated on supply voltages as low as ±5V for even
lower power dissipation.
Complete overdrive protection has been designed
into the part. This is critical for applications, such as
ATE and instrumentation, which require protection
from signal levels high enough to cause saturation of
the amplifier. This feature allows the output of the
op amp to be protected against short circuits using
techniques developed for low-speed op amps. With
this capability, even the fastest signal sources can
feature effective short circuit protection.
The KH205 is constructed using thin film resistor/bipolar
transistor technology, and is available in the following

Short Circuit Protection
Damage caused by short circuits at the output may be
prevented by limiting the output current to safe levels.
The most simple current limit circuit calls for placing
resistors between the output stage collector supplies and
the output stage collectors (pins 12 and 10). The value of
this resistor is determined by:

Overdrive Protection
Unlike most other high-speed op amps, the KH205 is not
damaged by saturation caused by overdriving input
signals (where V
in
x gain > max. V
o
). The KH205 self
limits the current at the inverting input when the output is
saturated (see the inverting input current self limit
specification); this ensures that the amplifier will not be
damaged due to excessive internal currents during overdrive.
For protection against input signals which would exceed
either the maximum differential or common mode input
voltage, the diode clamp circuits below may be used.

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 KH205 will
improve stability and settling performance.
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 6 shows typical inverting and non-inverting circuit
configurations for matching transmission lines.

Controlling Bandwidth and Passband Response
In most applications, a feedback resistor value of 2kΩ
will provide optimum performance; nonetheless, some
applications may require a resistor of some other value.
The response versus R
f
plot on the previous page shows
how decreasing R
f
will increase bandwidth (and frequency
response peaking, which may lead to instability).
Conversely, large values of feedback resistance tend to
roll off the response.
The best settling time performance requires the use of an
external feedback resistor (use of the internal resistor
results in a 0.1% to 0.2% settling tail). The settling
performance may be improved slightly by adding a
capacitance of 0.4pF in parallel with the feedback
resistor (settling time specifications reflect performance
with an external feedback resistor but with no external
capacitance).
Noise Analysis

KH205 using the

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

compensates for the increase
of the amplifier’s output impedance with frequency.
Dynamic Range (Intermods)
For RF applications, the KH205 specifies a third
order intercept of 30dBm at 60MHz and P
o
= 10dBm.
