General Description
The CLC501 is a high speed current-feedback op amp with the unique feature of output voltage clamping.
This feature allows both the maximum positive (VHIGH) and negative (VLOW) output voltage levels to be
established. This is useful in a number of applications in which "downstream" circuitry must be protected
from over driving input signals. Not only can this prevent damage to downstream circuitry, but can also
reduce time delays since saturation is avoided. The CLC501's very fast 1ns overload/clamping recovery time
is useful in applications in which information containing signals follow overdriving signals.
Engineers designing high resolution, subranging A/D systems have long sought an amplifier capable of
meeting the demanding requirements of the residue amplifier function. Amplifiers providing the residue
function must not only settle quickly, but recover from overdrive quickly, protect the second stage A/D, and
provide high fidelity at relatively high gain settings. The CLC501, which excels in these areas, is the ideal
design solution in this onerous application. To further support this application, the CLC501 is both
characterized and tested at a gain setting of +32-the most common gain setting for residue amplifier
applications.
The CLC501's other features provide a quick, high performance design solution. Since the CLC501's current
feedback design requires no external compensation, designers need not spend their time designing
compensation networks. The small 8-pin package and low, 180mW power consumption make the CLC501
ideal in numerous applications having small power and size budgets.
The CLC501 is available in several versions to meet a variety of requirements. A three letter suffix
determines the version:
