LM7121 235-MHz Tiny Low Power Voltage Feedback Amplifier
1 Features 3 Description
The LM7121 is a high performance operational
1 (Typical Unless Otherwise Noted). VS= ±15 V amplifier which addresses the increasing AC
Easy to use Voltage Feedback Topology performance needs of video and imaging
Stable with Unlimited Capacitive Loads applications, and the size and power constraints of
portable applications.
Tiny SOT23-5 Package Typical Circuit Layout
Takes Half the Space Of SO-8 Designs The LM7121 can operate over a wide dynamic range
Unity Gain Frequency: 175 MHz of supply voltages, from 5 V (single supply) up to
±15V (see Application and Implementation for more
Bandwidth (3 dB, AV= +1, RL= 100Ω): 235 MHz details). It offers an excellent speed-power product
Slew Rate: 1300V/μsdelivering 1300 V/μs and 235 MHz Bandwidth (3 dB,
Supply Voltages: AV= +1). Another key feature of this operational
amplifier is stability while driving unlimited capacitive
SO-8: 5 V to ±15 V loads.
SOT23-5: 5 V to ±5 V Due to its tiny SOT23-5 package, the LM7121 is ideal
Characterized for: +5 V, ±5 V, ±15 V for designs where space and weight are the critical
Low Supply Current: 5.3 mA parameters. The benefits of the tiny package are
evident in small portable electronic devices, such as
2 Applications cameras, and PC video cards. Tiny amplifiers are so
small that they can be placed anywhere on a board
Scanners, Color Fax, Digital Copiers close to the signal source or near the input to an A/D
PC Video Cards converter.

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) Applies to both single-supply and split-supply operation. Continuous short circuit operation at elevated ambient temperature can result in
exceeding the maximum allowed junction temperature of 150°C.
(3) The maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), RθJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient
temperature is PD= (TJ(max)–TA)/RθJA. All numbers apply for packages soldered directly into a PC board.

7 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
7.1 Application Information
Table 1 depicts the maximum operating supply voltage for each package type
Table 1. Maximum Supply Voltage Values
SOT-23 SO-8
Single Supply 10 V 30 V
Dual Supplies ±5 V ±15 V
Stable unity gain operation is possible with supply voltage of 5 V for all capacitive loads. This allows the
possibility of using the device in portable applications with low supply voltages with minimum components around
it.
Above a supply voltage of 6 V (±3 V Dual supplies), an additional resistor and capacitor (shown in Figure 69)
should be placed in the feedback path to achieve stability at unity gain over the full temperature range.
The package power dissipation should be taken into account when operating at high ambient temperatures
and/or high power dissipative conditions. Refer to the power derating curves in the data sheet for each type of
package.
In determining maximum operable temperature of the device, make sure the total power dissipation of the device
is considered; this includes the power dissipated in the device with a load connected to the output as well as the
nominal dissipation of the op amp.
The device is capable of tolerating momentary short circuits from its output to ground but prolonged operation in
this mode will damage the device, if the maximum allowed junction temperation is exceeded.

7.2.1 Design Requirements
7.2.1.1 Current Boost Circuit
The circuit in Figure 70 can be used to achieve good linearity along with high output current capability.
By proper choice of R3, the LM7121 output can be set to supply a minimal amount of current, thereby improving
its output linearity.
R3can be adjusted to allow for different loads:
R3= 0.1 RL(1)
Figure 70 has been set for a load of 100 Ω. Reasonable speeds (< 30 ns rise and fall times) can be expected up
to 120 mApp of load current (see Figure 77 for step response across the load).

Typical Applications (continued)
7.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
It is very important to keep the lead lengths to a minimum and to provide a low impedance current path by using
a ground-plane on the board.
CAUTION
If RLis removed, the current balance at the output of LM7121 would be disturbed and
it would have to supply the full amount of load current. This might damage the part if
power dissipation limit is exceeded.
7.2.2.1 Color Video on Twisted Pairs Using Single Supply
The circuit shown in Figure 76 can be used to drive in excess of 25 meters length of twisted pair cable with no
loss of resolution or picture definition when driving a NTSC monitor at the load end.
Pin numbers shown are for SO-8 package.

Typical Applications (continued)
Differential Gain and Differential Phase errors measured at the load are less than 1% and 1˚respectively
RGand CCcan be adjusted for various cable lengths to compensate for the line losses and for proper response
at the output. Values shown correspond to a twisted pair cable length of 25 meters with about 3 turns/inch (see
Figure 78 for step response).
The supply voltage can vary from 8.5 V up to 30 V with the output rise and fall times under 12 ns. With the
component values shown, the overall gain from the input to the output is about 1.
Even though the transmission line is not terminated in its nominal characteristic impedance of about 600 Ω, the
resulting reflection at the load is only about 5% of the total signal and in most cases can be neglected. Using 75
termination instead, has the advantage of operating at a low impedance and results in a higher realizable
bandwidth and signal fidelity.
