______________________________________________________________________________________
amplifiers achieve very high isolation from input to output
(65dB at 10MHz), and the outputs are placed into a high-
impedance state. These amplifiers achieve low switch-
ing-transient glitches (<45mVP-P) when switching
between enable and disable modes. Fast enable/disable
times (120ns/35ns), along with high off-isolation and low
switching transients, allow these devices to be used as
high-performance, high-speed multiplexers. This is
achieved by connecting the outputs of multiple amplifiers
together and controlling the DISABLE inputs to enable
one amplifier and disable all others. The disabled ampli-
fiers present a very light load (1A leakage current and
3.5pF capacitance) to the active amplifier’s output. The
feedback network impedance of all the disabled ampli-
fiers must still be considered when calculating the total
load on the active amplifier output. Figure 1 shows an
application circuit using the MAX4188 as a 3:1 video mul-
tiplexer.
The DISABLE_ logic threshold is typically VCC - 2.5V,
independent of VEE. For a single +5V supply or dual
±5V supplies, the disable inputs are CMOS-logic com-
patible. The amplifiers default to the enabled mode if
the DISABLE pin is left unconnected. If the DISABLE
pin is left floating, take proper care to ensure that no
high-frequency signals are coupled to this pin, as this
may cause false triggering.
Applications Information
Theory of Operation
The MAX4188/MAX4189/MAX4190 are current-feedback
amplifiers, and their open-loop transfer function is
expressed as a transimpedance, VOUT/IIN, or TZ. The
frequency behavior of the open-loop transimpedance is
similar to the open-loop gain of a voltage-mode feedback
amplifier. That is, it has a large DC value and decreases
at approximately 6dB per octave.
Analyzing the follower with gain, as shown in Figure 2,
yields the following transfer function:
VOUT / VIN = G x [(TZ (S) / TZ(s) + G x (RIN + RF)]
where G = AVCL = 1 + (RF / RG), and RIN = 1/gM
300.
At low gains, G x RIN < RF. Therefore, the closed-loop
bandwidth is essentially independent of closed-loop
gain. Similarly TZ > RF at low frequencies, so that:
