File Number 3607.4
Dual 350MHz, Low Power Closed Loop
Buffer Amplifier
The HFA1212 is a dual closed loop Buffer featuring user
programmable gain and high speed performance.
Manufactured on Intersil’s proprietary complementary
bipolar UHF-1 process, these devices offer wide -3dB
bandwidth of 350MHz, very fast slew rate, excellent gain
flatness and high output current.
A unique feature of the pinout allows the user to select a
voltage gain of +1, -1, or +2, without the use of any external
components. Gain selection is accomplished via
connections to the inputs, as described in the “Application
Information” section. The result is a more flexible product,
fewer part types in inventory, and more efficient use of board
space.
Compatibility with existing op amp pinouts provides flexibility
to upgrade low gain amplifiers, while decreasing component
count. Unlike most buffers, the standard pinout provides an
upgrade path should a higher closed loop gain be needed at
a future date. For Military product, refer to the HFA1212/883
data sheet.

HFA1212
Unity Gain Considerations
Unity gain selection is accomplished by floating the -Input of
the HFA1212. Anything that tends to short the -Input to GND,
such as stray capacitance at high frequencies, will cause the
amplifier gain to increase toward a gain of +2. The result is
excessive high frequency peaking, and possible instability.
Even the minimal amount of capacitance associated with
attaching the -Input lead to the PCB results in approximately
6dB of gain peaking. At a minimum this requires due care to
ensure the minimum capacitance at the -Input connection.
Table 1 lists five alternate methods for configuring the HFA1212
as a unity gain buffer, and the corresponding performance. The
implementations vary in complexity and involve performance
trade-offs. The easiest approach to implement is simply
shorting the two input pins together, and applying the input
signal to this common node. The amplifier bandwidth
decreases from 430MHz to 280MHz, but excellent gain flatness
is the benefit. A drawback to this approach is that the amplifier
input noise voltage and input offset voltage terms see a gain of
+2, resulting in higher noise and output offset voltages.
Alternately, a 100pF capacitor between the inputs shorts them
only at high frequencies, which prevents the increased output
offset voltage but delivers less gain flatness.
Another straightforward approach is to add a 620Ω resistor
in series with the amplifier’s positive input. This resistor and
the HFA1212 input capacitance form a low pass filter which
rolls off the signal bandwidth before gain peaking occurs.
This configuration was employed to obtain the data sheet AC
and transient parameters for a gain of +1.
Pulse Overshoot
The HFA1212 utilizes a quasi-complementary output stage to
achieve high output current while minimizing quiescent supply
current. In this approach, a composite device replaces the
traditional PNP pulldown transistor. The composite device
switches modes after crossing 0V, resulting in added distortion
for signals swinging below ground, and an increased overshoot
on the negative portion of the output waveform (see Figure 6,
Figure 9, and Figure 12). This overshoot isn’t present for small
bipolar signals (see Figure 4, Figure 7, and Figure 10) or large
positive signals (see Figure 5, Figure 8 and Figure 11).
PC Board Layout
This amplifier’s frequency response depends greatly on the
care taken in designing the PC board (PCB). The use of low
inductance components such as chip resistors and chip
capacitors is strongly recommended, while a solid
ground plane is a must!
Attention should be given to decoupling the power supplies.
A large value (10µF) tantalum in parallel with a small value
(0.1µF) chip capacitor works well in most cases.
Terminated microstrip signal lines are recommended at the
input and output of the device. Capacitance directly on the
output must be minimized, or isolated as discussed in the
next section.
An example of a good high frequency layout is the
Evaluation Board shown in Figure 3.
Driving Capacitive Loads
Capacitive loads, such as an A/D input, or an improperly
terminated transmission line will degrade the amplifier’s
phase margin resulting in frequency response peaking and
possible oscillations. In most cases, the oscillation can be
avoided by placing a resistor (RS) in series with the output
prior to the capacitance.
Figure 1 details starting points for the selection of this
resistor. The points on the curve indicate the RS and CL
combinations for the optimum bandwidth, stability, and
settling time, but experimental fine tuning is recommended.
Picking a point above or to the right of the curve yields an
overdamped response, while points below or left of the curve
indicate areas of underdamped performance.
RS and CL form a low pass network at the output, thus
limiting system bandwidth well below the amplifier bandwidth
of 350MHz. By decreasing RS as CL increases (as
illustrated in the curves), the maximum bandwidth is
obtained without sacrificing stability. In spite of this,
bandwidth decreases as the load capacitance increases.
