The 280MHz Av=+1V/V small signal bandwidth and
1100V/µs slew rate make the device an excellent
solution for component video applications such as
driving RGB signals down significant cable lengths.
Other applications which may take advantage of the
ZL40120 dynamic performance features and matched
amplifiers include low cost high order active filters and
twisted pair driver/receivers.

Description
The ZL40120 is a low power, quad, current feedback
operational amplifier offering high performance at a low
cost. The device provides a very high output current
drive capability of 65mA while requiring only 3.3mA of
static supply current per channel. This feature makes
the ZL40120 the ideal choice where a high density of
high speed devices is required.

Application Notes
Current Feedback Op Amps
Current feedback op amps offer several advantages over voltage feedback amplifiers:
•
•
•
AC bandwidth not dependent on closed loop gain
High Slew Rate
Fast settling time
Data Sheet
The architecture of the current feedback opamp consists of a high impedance non-inverting input and a low
impedance inverting input which is always feedback connected. The error current is amplified by a transimpedance
amplifier which can be considered to have gain

where Z

where Av is the DC closed loop gain, R

is the feedback resistor. The closed loop bandwidth is therefore given by
BW
CL

and for low values of closed loop gain Av depends only on the feedback resistor R
f
and not the closed loop gain.
This can readily be seen from the performance characteristic frequency response graph with varying R
f
It can be shown that increasing the value of R

Increases closed loop stability
Decreases loop gain
Decreases bandwidth
Reduces gain peaking
Reduces overshoot
Using a resistor value of R
f
=510Ω for Av=+2 V/V gives good stability and bandwidth. However since requirements
for stability and bandwidth vary it may be worth some experimentation to find the optimal R
f
for a given application.
Layout Considerations
Correct high frequency operation requires a considered PCB layout as stray capacitances have a strong influence
over high frequency operation for this device. This is particularly important for high performance current feedback
opamps. The Zarlink evaluation board serves as a good example layout that should be copied. The following
guidelines should be followed:
•
•
•
Include 6.8uF tantalum and 0.1uF ceramic capacitors on both positive and negative supplies
Remove the ground plane under and around the part, especially near the input and output pins to reduce
parasitic capacitances
Minimize all trace lengths to reduce series inductance
