CLC406
Wideband, Low Power Monolithic Op Amp
General Description
The CLC406 is a wideband monolithic operational amplifier
designed for low gain applications where power and cost are
of primary concern. Operating from
±
5V supplies, the
CLC406 consumes only 50mW of power yet maintains a
160MHz small signal bandwidth and a 1500V/μs slew rate.
Benefiting from National’s current feedback architecture, the
CLC406 offers a gain range of
±
1 to
±
10 while providing
stable, oscillation free operation without external compensa-
tion, even at unity gain.
With its exceptional differential gain and phase typically
0.02% and 0.02 at 3.58MHz, the CLC406 is designed to
meet the performance and cost requirements of high volume
composite video applications. The CLC406’s large signal
bandwidth, high slew rate and high drive capability are fea-
tures well suited for RGB video applications.
Providing a 12ns settling time to 0.05% (1/2 LSB in 10-bit
systems) and 68/75dBc 2nd/3rd harmonic distortion
(2V
at 10MHz, R
= 1k
), the CLC406 is an excellent
choice as a buffer or driver for high speed A/D and D/A
converter systems.
Commercial remote sensing applications and battery pow-
ered radio transceivers requiring a high performance, low
power amplifier will find the CLC406 to be an attractive, cost
effective solution.
Constructed using an advanced, complementary bipolar pro-
cess and National’s proven current feedback architectures,
the CLC406 is available in several versions to meet a variety
of requirements.
