The LT
®
1229/LT1230 dual and quad 100MHz current
feedback amplifiers are designed for maximum perfor-
mance in small packages. Using industry standard pinouts,
the dual is available in the 8-pin miniDIP and the 8-pin SO
package while the quad is in the 14-pin DIP and 14-pin SO.
The amplifiers are designed to operate on almost any
available supply voltage from 4V (±2V) to 30V (±15V).
These current feedback amplifiers have very high input
impedance and make excellent buffer amplifiers. They
maintain their wide bandwidth for almost all closed-loop
voltage gains. The amplifiers drive over 30mA of output
current and are optimized to drive low impedance loads,
such as cables, with excellent linearity at high frequencies.
The LT1229/LT1230 are manufactured on Linear
Technology’s proprietary complementary bipolar process.
For a single amplifier like these see the LT1227 and for
better DC accuracy see the LT1223.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
A heat sink may be required depending on the power supply
voltage and how many amplifiers are shorted.
Note 3:
The power tests done on
±15V
supplies are done on only one
amplifier at a time to prevent excessive junction temperatures when testing
at maximum operating temperature.
Note 4:
The supply current of the LT1229/LT1230 has a negative
temperature coefficient. For more information see the application
information section.
Note 5:
Slew rate is measured at
±5V
on a
±10V
output signal while
operating on
±15V
supplies with R
F
= 1k, R
G
= 110Ω and R
L
= 400Ω. The
slew rate is much higher when the input is overdriven and when the
amplifier is operated inverting, see the applications section.
Note 6:
Rise time is measured from 10% to 90% on a
±500mV
output
signal while operating on
±15V
supplies with R
F
= 1k, R
G
= 110Ω and R
L
=
100Ω. This condition is not the fastest possible, however, it does
guarantee the internal capacitances are correct and it makes automatic
testing practical.
Note 7:
AC parameters are 100% tested on the ceramic and plastic DIP
packaged parts (J and N suffix) and are sample tested on every lot of the
SO packaged parts (S suffix).
Note 8:
