Fast Settling, Wideband Low Gain Monolithic Op Amp
General Description
The CLC400 is a high speed, fast setting operational ampli-
fier designed for low gain applications. Constructed using a
unique, proprietary design and an advanced complementary
bipolar process, the CLC400 offers performance far beyond
that normally offered by ordinary monolithic op amps. In
addition, unlike many other high speed op amps the CLC400
offers both high performance and stability without the need
for compensation circuitry — even at a gain of +1.
The fast 12ns settling to 0.05% and its ability to drive capaci-
tive loads makes the CLC400 an ideal flash A/D driver. The
wide bandwidth of 200MHz and the very linear phase ensure
unsurpassed signal fidelity. Systems employing digital to
analog converters also benefit from the use of the CLC400
— especially if linearity and drive levels are important to
system performance.
The CLC400 provides a simple, high performance solution
for video distribution and line driving applications. The 50mA
output current and guaranteed specifications for 100Ω loads
provide ample drive capability and assured performance.
The CLC400 is based on
National’s
proprietary op amp
topology that uses current feedback instead of the usual
voltage feedback. This unique design has many advantages
over conventional designs (such as settling time that is
relatively independent of gain), yet it is used in basically the
same way (see the gain equations in
Figure 1
and
Figure 2).
However, an understanding of the topology will aid in achiev-
ing the best performance. The following discussion will pro-
ceed for the non-inverting gain configuration with the invert-
ing mode analysis being very similar.

Note 1:
“Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. They are not meant to imply that the devices
should be operated at these limits. The table of “Electrical Characteristics” specifies conditions of device operation.
Note 2:
Max/min ratings are based on product characterization and simulation. Individual parameters are tested as noted. Outgoing quality levels are determined
from tested parameters.
Note 3:
AJ-level: spec. is 100% tested at +25˚C, sample at 85˚C.
