DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1251/LT1256 are 2-input, 1-output, 40MHz cur-
rent feedback amplifiers with a linear control circuit that
sets the amount each input contributes to the output.
These parts make excellent electronically controlled vari-
able gain amplifiers, filters, mixers and faders. The only
external components required are the power supply by-
pass capacitors and the feedback resistors. Both parts
operate on supplies from
±2.5V
(or single 5V) to
±15V
(or single 30V).
Absolute gain accuracy is trimmed at wafer sort to mini-
mize part-to-part variations. The circuit is completely
temperature compensated.
The LT1251 includes circuitry that eliminates the need for
accurate control signals around zero and full scale. For
control signals of less than 2% or greater than 98%, the
LT1251 sets one input completely off and the other
completely on. This is ideal for fader applications because
it eliminates off-channel feedthrough due to offset or gain
errors in the control signals.
The LT1256 does not have this on/off feature and operates
linearly over the complete control range. The LT1256 is
recommended for applications requiring more than 20dB
of linear control range.

beyond 0°C to 70°C. Industrial grade parts specified and tested over

Note 4:
Differential gain and phase are measured using a Tektronix
TSG120YC/NTSC signal generator and a Tektronix 1780R Video
Measurement Set. The resolution of this equipment is 0.1% and 0.1°. Five
identical amplifier stages were cascaded giving an effective resolution of
0.02% and 0.02°.
Note 5:
Differential gain and phase are best when the control is set at 0%
or 100%. See the Typical Performance Characteristics curves.
Note 6:
Tested with R
L
= 150Ω to 2.5V to simulate an AC coupled load.
Note 7:
Small-signal control path response is measured driving R
C
(Pin 5)
to eliminate peaking caused by stray capacitance on Pin 4.
