FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5539 is a two-stage, very high frequency amplifier. Darlington input transistors Q1, Q4-Q2, Q3 form the first stage--a differential gain amplifier with a voltage gain of approximately 50. The second stage, Q5, is a single-ended amplifier whose input is derived from one phase of the differential amplifier output; the other phase of the differential output is then summed with the output of Q5. The all NPN design of the AD5539 is configured such that the emitter of Q5 is returned, via a small resistor to ground; this eliminates the need for separate level shifting circuitry. The output stage, consisting of transistors Q9 and Q10, is a Darlington voltage follower with a resistive pull-down. The bias section, consisting of transistors Q6, Q7 and Q8, provides a stable emitter current for the input section, compensating for temperature and power supply variations.
SOME GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF HIGH FREQUENCY CIRCUIT DESIGN
some special precautions are in order. All real-world applications circuits must be built using proper RF techniques: the use of short interconnect leads, adequate shielding, groundplanes, and very low profile IC sockets. In addition, very careful bypassing of power supply leads is a must. Low-impedance transmission line is frequently used to carry signals at RF frequencies: 50 line for telecommunications purposes and 75 for video applications. The AD5539 offers a relatively low output impedance; therefore, some consideration must be given to impedance matching. A common matching technique involves simply placing a resistor in series with the amplifier output that is equal to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line. This provides a good match (although at a loss of 6 dB), adequate for many applications. All of the circuits here were built and tested in a 50 system. Care should be taken in adapting these circuits for each particular use. Any system which has been properly matched and terminated in its characteristic impedance should have the same small signal frequency response as those shown in this data sheet. -6- REV. B
In designing practical circuits with the AD5539, the user must remember that whenever very high frequencies are involved,
AD5539
APPLYING THE AD5539
The AD5539 is stable for closed-loop gains of 4 or more as an inverter and at (noise) gains of 5 or greater as a voltage follower. This means that whenever the AD5539 is operated at noise gains below 5, external frequency compensation must be used to insure stable operation. The following sections outline specific compensation circuits which permit stable operation of the AD5539 down to follower (noise) gains of 3 (inverting gains of 2) with corresponding -3 dB bandwidths up to 390 MHz. External compensation is achieved by modifying the frequency response to the AD5539's external feedback network (i.e., by adding lead-lag compensation) so that the amplifier operates at a noise gain of 5 (or more) at frequencies over 44 MHz, independent of signal gain.
when operating at a noise gain of 7. Under these conditions, excess phase shift causes nearly 10 dB of peaking at 150 MHz. Figure 15 illustrates the use of both lead and lag compensation to permit stable low-gain operation. The AD5539 is shown connected as an inverting amplifier with the required external components added to provide stability and improve high frequency response. The stray capacitance between the amplifier summing junction and ground, CX, represents whatever capacitance is associated with the particular type of op amp package used plus the stray wiring capacitance at the summing junction. Evaluating the lead capacitance first (ignoring RLAG and CLAG for now): the feedback network, consisting of R2 and CLEAD, has a pole frequency equal to:
1 FA = 2 C + CX LEAD
(
) ( R1||R2) )
(1)
and a zero frequency equal to:
1 FB = 2 R1 x C LEAD
(
(2)
Usually, frequency FA is made equal to FB; that is, (R1CX) = (R2 CLEAD), in a manner similar to the compensation used for an attenuator or scope probe. However, if the pole frequency, FA, will lie above the unity gain crossover frequency (440 MHz), then the optimum location of FB will be near the crossover
Figure 13. Small Signal Open-Loop Gain and Phase vs. Frequency
GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF LEAD AND LAG COMPENSATION
The AD5539 has its first pole or breakpoint in its open-loop frequency response at about 10 MHz (see Figure 13). At frequencies beyond 100 MHz, phase shift increases such that the output lags the input by 180--well before the unity gain crossover frequency. Therefore, severe peaking (and possible oscillation) will result if the AD5539 is operated at noise gains below 5, unless external compensation is employed. Figure 14 shows the uncompensated closed-loop frequency response of the AD5539

frequency. Both of these circuit techniques add a large amount of leading phase shift at the crossover frequency, greatly aiding stability. The lag network (RLAG, CLAG) increases the feedback attenuation, i.e., the amplifier operates at a higher noise gain, above some frequency, typically one-tenth of the crossover frequency. As an example, to achieve a noise gain of 5 at frequencies above 44 MHz, for the circuit of Figure 15, would require a network of:

Figure 18. Response of the (Figure 17) Inverter Circuit without a Lag Compensation Network
It is worth noting that an RLAG resistor may be used alone, to increase the noise gain above 5 at all frequencies. However, this approach has the disadvantage of also increasing the dc offset and low frequency noise errors by an amount equal to the increase in gain, in this case, by a factor of 5.
SOME PRACTICAL CIRCUITS
The preceding general principles may now be applied to some actual circuits.
A General Purpose Inverter Circuit
A lag network (Figure 15) can be added to improve the response of this circuit even further as shown in Figures 19 and 20. In almost all cases, it is imperative to make capacitor CLEAD adjustable; in some cases, CLAG must also be variable. Otherwise, component and circuit capacitance variations will dominate circuit performance.
Figure 17 is a general purpose inverter circuit operating at a gain of -2. For this circuit, the total capacitance at the inverting input is approximately 3 pF; therefore, CLEAD from Equations 1 and 2 needs to be approximately 1.5 pF. As shown in Figure 17, a small trimmer is used to optimize the frequency response of this circuit. Without a lag compensation network, the noise gain of the circuit is 3.0 and, as shown in Figure 18, the output amplitude remains within 0.5 dB to 170 MHz and the -3 dB bandwidth is 200 MHz.

Figures 21 and 22 show the small and large signal pulse responses of the general purpose inverter circuit of Figure 17, with CLEAD = 1.5 pF, RLAG = 330 and CLAG = 3.5 pF.

A CLEAD capacitor may be used to limit the circuit bandwidth and to achieve a single pole response free of overshoot
1 -3 dB frequency = 2 R2 C LEAD
If this option is selected, it is recommended that a CLEAD be connected between Pin 12 and the summing junction, as shown in Figure 23. Pin 12 provides a separately buffered version of the output signal. Connecting the lead capacitor here avoids the excess output-stage phase shift and subsequent oscillation problems (at approx. 350 MHz) which would otherwise occur when using the circuit of Figure 17 with a CLEAD of more than about 2 pF. Figure 24 shows the response of the circuit of Figure 23 for each connection of CLEAD. Lag components may also be added to this circuit to further tailor its response, but, in this case, the results will be slightly less satisfactory than connecting CLEAD directly to the output, as was done in Figure 17.
Figure 24. Response of the Circuit of Figure 23 with CLEAD = 10 pF
A General Purpose Voltage Follower Circuit
Noninverting (voltage follower) circuits pose an additional complication, in that when a lag network is used, the source impedance will affect the noise gain. In addition, the slightly greater bandwidth of the noninverting configuration makes any excess phase shift due to the output stage more of a problem. For example, a gain of 3 noninverting circuit with CLEAD connected normally (across the feedback resistor - Figure 25) will require a source resistance of 200 or greater to prevent UHF oscillation; the extra source resistance provides some damping as well as increasing the noise gain. The frequency response plot of Figure 26 shows that the highest -3 dB frequency of all the applications circuits can be achieved using this connection, unfortunately, at the expense of a noise gain of 14.2.

These same principles may be applied when capacitor CLEAD is connected to Pin 12 (Figure 29). Figure 30 shows the bandwidth of the gain of 3 amplifier for various values of RLAG. It can be seen from these response plots that a high noise gain is still needed to achieve a reasonably flat response (the smaller the

value of RLAG, the higher the noise gain). For example, with a 220 RLAG and a 50 source resistance, the noise gain will be 12.8, because the source resistance affects the noise gain. Figures 31 and 32 show the small and large signal responses of the circuit of Figure 29.

A Video Amplifier Circuit with 20 dB Gain (Terminated)
In color video applications, the quality of differential gain and differential phase response is very important. Figures 35 and 36 show a circuit and test setup to measure the AD5539's response to a modulated ramp signal (0-90 IRE p-p ramp, 40 IRE p-p modulation, 4.4 MHz). Figures 37 and 38 show the differential gain and phase response.
High gain applications (14 dB and up) require only a small lead capacitance to obtain flat response. The 26 dB (20 dB terminated) video amplifier circuit of Figure 33 has the response shown in Figure 34 using only approximately 0.5-1 pF lead capacitance. Again, a small CLEAD can be connected, either to the output or to Pin 12 with very little difference in response.

MEASURING AD5539 SETTLING TIME
Measuring the very rapid settling times associated with AD5539 can be a real problem for the designer; proper component layout must be used and appropriate test equipment selected. In addition, both cable dispersion (a function of cable losses) and the quality of termination (SWR) directly affect the measurement. The circuit of Figure 39 was used to make a "brute force" AD5539 settling time measurement. The fixture containing the circuit was connected directly--using a male BNC connector (but no cable)--onto the front of a 50 input oscilloscope preamp. A digital mainframe was then used to capture, average, and expand the error signal. Most of the small-scale waveform aberrations shown on the figure were caused by the oscilloscope itself, especially the glitch at 15 ns. The pulse source used for this measurement was an EH-SPG2000 pulse generator set for a 1 ns rise-time; it was coupled directly to the circuit using 18" of microwave 50 hard line.

The photos of Figures 40 and 41 demonstrate how the AD5539 easily settles to 1% (1 mV) in less than 12 ns; settling to 0.1% (100 V) requires less than 25 ns.

Figure 43. A Simulated Ideal Test Circuit Error Signal
Figure 44 is a circuit for a 50 MHz voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) suitable for use in high quality video-speed applications. This circuit uses the AD5539 as an output amplifier for the AD539, a high bandwidth multiplier. The outputs from the two signal channels of the AD539 are applied to the op amp in a subtracting configuration. This connection has two main advantages: first, it results in better rejection of the control voltage, particularly when over-driven (VX < 0 or VX > 3.3 V). Secondly, it provides a choice of either noninverting or inverting responses, using either input VY1 or VY2, respectively. In this circuit, the output of the op amp will equal:
V X VY 1 - VY 2 2V
Hence, the gain is unity at VX = +2 V. Since VX can overrange to +3.3 V, the maximum gain in this configuration is about 4.3 dB. (Note: If Pin 9 of the AD539 is grounded, rather than connected to the output of the 5539N, the maximum gain becomes 10 dB.) The bandwidth of this circuit is over 50 MHz at full gain, and is not substantially affected at lower gains. Of course, when VX is zero (or slightly negative, to override the residual input offset) there is still a small amount of capacitive feedthrough at high frequencies; therefore, extreme care is needed in laying out the PC board to minimize this effect. Also, for small values of VX, the combination of this feedthrough with the multiplier output can cause a dip in the response where they are out of phase. Figure 45 shows the ac response from the noninverting input, with the response from the inverting input, VY2, essentially identical. Test conditions: VY1 = 0.5 V rms for values of VX from +10 mV to +3.16 V; this is with a 75 load on the output. The feedthrough at VX = -10 mV is also shown.

The transient response of the signal channel at VX = +2 V, VY = VOUT = + or -1 V is shown in Figure 46; with the VCA driving a 75 load. The rise and fall times are both approximately 7 ns. A few final circuit details: in general, the control amplifier compensation capacitor for Pin 2, CC, must have a minimum value of 3000 pF (3 nF) to provide both circuit stability and maximum control bandwidth. However, if the maximum control bandwidth is not needed, then it is advisable to use a larger value of CC, with typical values between 0.01 and 0.1 F. Like many aspects of design, the value of CC will be a tradeoff: higher values of CC will lower the high frequency distortion, reduce the high frequency crosstalk and improve the signal channel phase response. Conversely, lower values of CC will provide a higher control channel bandwidth at the expense of degraded linearity in the output response when amplitude modulating a carrier signal. The control channel bandwidth will vary in inverse proportion to the value of CC, providing a typical bandwidth of 2 MHz with a CC of 0.01 F and a VX voltage of +1.7 volts. Both the bandwidth and pulse response of the control channel can be further increased by using a feedforward capacitor, Cff, with a value between 5 and 20 percent of CC. Cff should be carefully adjusted to give the best pulse response for a particular step input applied to the control channel. Note that since Cff is connected between a linear control input (Pin 1) and a logarith-

mic node, the settling time of the control channel with a pulse input will vary with different control input step levels. Diode D1 clamps the logarithmic control node at Pin 2 of the AD539, (preventing this point from going too negative); this diode helps decrease the circuit recovery time when the control input goes below ground potential.

The input range of the video switch is the same as the output range: 1 V at either input generates 1 V (noninverting) or 1 V (inverting) across the 75 load. The circuit provides a gain of about 1, when "ON," or zero when "OFF." The differential configuration uses both channels of the AD539 not only to provide alternative input phases, but also to eliminate the switching pedestal due to step changes in the output current as the AD539 is gated on or off. Figure 49 shows the response to a pulse of 0 to +1 V on the signal channel. With the control input held at zero, the rise time is under 10 ns. The response from the inverting input is similar. The differential-gain and differential-phase characteristics of this switch are compatible with video applications. The incremental gain changes less than 0.05 dB over a signal window of 0 to +1 V, with a phase variation of less than 0.5 degree at the subcarrier frequency of 3.58 MHz. The noise level of this circuit measured at the 75 load is typically 200 V in a 0 MHz to 5 MHz bandwidth or approximately 100 nV per root hertz. The noise spectral density is essentially flat to 40 MHz. The waveforms shown in Figures 48 and 49 were taken across a 75 termination; in both photos, the signal of 0 to +1 V (in this case, an offset sine wave at 1 MHz) was applied to the noninverting input. In Figure 48, the envelope response shows the output being fully switched in about 50 ns. Note that the output is ON when the control input is zero (or more negative) and OFF for a control input of +1 V or more. There is very little control-signal breakthrough.
