• Description: 500mhz Rail-to-rail Amplifier
• Manufacturer: Intersil Corporation

Driving Capacitive Loads and Cables
The EL8302 can drive 5pF loads in parallel with 1kΩ with
less than 5dB of peaking at gain of +1. If less peaking is
desired in applications, a small series resistor (usually
between 5Ω to 50Ω) can be placed in series with the output
to eliminate most peaking. However, this will reduce the gain
slightly. If the gain setting is greater than 1, the gain resistor
R
may be created by the additional series resistor at the
output.
When used as a cable driver, double termination is always
recommended for reflection-free performance. For those
applications, a back-termination series resistor at the
amplifier’s output will isolate the amplifier from the cable and
allow extensive capacitive drive. However, other applications
may have high capacitive loads without a back-termination
resistor. Again, a small series resistor at the output can help
to reduce peaking.
Disable/Power-Down
The EL8302 can be disabled and placed its output in a high
impedance state. The turn off time is about 25ns and the turn
on time is about 200ns. When disabled, the amplifier’s
supply current is reduced to 30µA typically, thereby
effectively eliminating the power consumption. The
amplifier’s power down can be controlled by standard TTL or
CMOS signal levels at the ENABLE pin. The applied logic
signal is relative to V
applying a signal that is less than 0.8V above V
the amplifier. The amplifier will be disabled when the signal
at ENABLE pin is 2V above V
Output Drive Capability
The EL8302 does not have internal short circuit protection
circuitry. They have a typical short circuit current of 80mA
sourcing and 150mA sinking for the output is connected to
half way between the rails with a 10Ω resistor. If the output is
shorted indefinitely, the power dissipation could easily
increase such that the part will be destroyed. Maximum
reliability is maintained if the output current never exceeds
±40mA. This limit is set by the design of the internal metal
interconnections.
Power Dissipation
With the high output drive capability of the EL8302, It is
possible to exceed the 125°C absolute maximum junction
temperature under certain load current conditions.
Therefore, it is important to calculate the maximum junction
temperature for the application to determine if the load
conditions or package types need to be modified for the
amplifier to remain in the safe operating area.

The maximum power dissipation allowed in a package is
determined according to:
Where:
The maximum power dissipation actually produced by an IC
is the total quiescent supply current times the total power
supply voltage, plus the power in the IC due to the load, or:
For sourcing:
For sinking:

Power Supply Bypassing and Printed Circuit
Board Layout
As with any high frequency device, a good printed circuit
board layout is necessary for optimum performance. Lead
lengths should be as short as possible. The power supply
pin must be well bypassed to reduce the risk of oscillation.
For normal single supply operation, where the V
connected to the ground plane, a single 4.7µF tantalum
capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from V
to GND will suffice. This same capacitor combination should
be placed at each supply pin to ground if split supplies are to
be used. In this case, the V
supply rail.
For good AC performance, parasitic capacitance should be
kept to a minimum. Use of wire wound resistors should be
