General Description
The CLC1003 is a single channel, high-performance, voltage feedback
amplier with near precision performance, low input voltage noise, and
ultra low distortion. The CLC1003 offers 1mV maximum input offset voltage,
3.5nV/√Hz broadband input voltage noise, and 0.00005% THD at 1kHz.
These ampliers also provide 55MHz gain bandwidth product and 12V/μs
slew rate making them well suited for applications requiring precision DC
performance and high AC performance. This high-performance amplier
also offers a rail-to-rail input and output, simplifying single supply designs
and offering larger dynamic range possibilities. The inputs extend beyond
the rails by 500mV.
The CLC1003 is designed to operate from 2.5V to 12V supplies and
operate over the extended temperature range of -40°C to +125°.

Power Dissipation
Power dissipation should not be a factor when operating
under the stated 500Ω load condition. However, applications
with low impedance, DC coupled loads should be analyzed
to ensure that maximum allowed junction temperature is
not exceeded. Guidelines listed below can be used to verify
that the particular application will not cause the device to
operate beyond it’s intended operating range.
Maximum power levels are set by the absolute maximum
junction rating of 150°C. To calculate the junction
temperature, the package thermal resistance value ThetaJA
(θJA) is used along with the total die power dissipation.
TJunction = TAmbient + (θJA × PD)
Where TAmbient is the temperature of the working
environment.
In order to determine PD, the power dissipated in the load
needs to be subtracted from the total power delivered by the
supplies.
PD = Psupply - Pload
Supply power is calculated by the standard power equation.
Psupply = Vsupply × IRMSsupply
Vsupply = VS+ - VS-
Power delivered to a purely resistive load is:
Pload = ((Vload)RMS2)/Rloadeff
The effective load resistor (Rloadeff) will need to include the
effect of the feedback network. For instance,
Rloadeff in Figure 2 would be calculated as:
RL || (Rf + Rg)
These measurements are basic and are relatively easy to
perform with standard lab equipment. For design purposes
however, prior knowledge of actual signal levels and load
impedance is needed to determine the dissipated power.
Here, PD can be found from
PD = PQuiescent + PDynamic - Pload
Quiescent power can be derived from the specied IS values
along with known supply voltage, Vsupply. Load power can
be calculated as above with the desired signal amplitudes
using:
(Vload)RMS = Vpeak / √2
( Iload)RMS = ( Vload)RMS / Rloadeff
The dynamic power is focused primarily within the output
stage driving the load. This value can be calculated as:
PDynamic = (VS+ - Vload)RMS × ( Iload)RMS
Assuming the load is referenced in the middle of the power
rails or Vsupply/2.
Figure 3 shows the maximum safe power dissipation in
the package vs. the ambient temperature for the packages
available.

Driving Capacitive Loads
Increased phase delay at the output due to capacitive loading
can cause ringing, peaking in the frequency response, and
possible unstable behavior. Use a series resistance, RS,
between the amplier and the load to help improve stability
and settling performance. Refer to Figure 4.

Figure 4. Addition of RS for Driving Capacitive Loads
The CLC1003 is capable of driving up to 300pF directly, with
no series resistance. Directly driving 500pF causes over
4dB of frequency peaking, as shown in the plot on page 6.
Table 1 provides the recommended RS for various capacitive
loads. The recommended RS values result in ≤ 1dB peaking
in the frequency response. The Frequency Response vs.
CL plots, on page 6, illustrate the response of the CLC1003.

1000 7. 5 20
3000 4 15
Table 1: Recommended RS vs. CL
For a given load capacitance, adjust RS to optimize the
tradeoff between settling time and bandwidth. In general,
reducing RS will increase bandwidth at the expense of
additional overshoot and ringing.
Overdrive Recovery
An overdrive condition is dened as the point when either
one of the inputs or the output exceed their specied
voltage range. Overdrive recovery is the time needed for the
amplier to return to its normal or linear operating point. The
recovery time varies based on whether the input or output
is overdriven and by how much the ranges are exceeded.
The CLC1003 will typically recover in less than 20ns from
an overdrive condition. Figure 5 shows the CLC1003 in an
overdriven condition.

Considerations for Offset and Noise Performance
Offset Analysis
There are three sources of offset contribution to consider;
input bias current, input bias current mismatch, and input
offset voltage. The input bias currents are assumed to be
equal with and additional offset current in one of the inputs
to account for mismatch. The bias currents will not affect
the offset as long as the parallel combination of Rf and Rg
matches Rt. Refer to Figure 6.

Figure 6: Circuit for Evaluating Offset
The rst place to start is to determine the source resistance.
If it is very small an additional resistance may need to be
added to keep the values of Rf and Rg to practical levels.
For this analysis we assume that Rt is the total resistance
present on the non-inverting input. This gives us one
equation that we must solve:

CLC1003
Rt = Rg||Rf
This equation can be rearranged to solve for Rg:
Rg = (Rt * Rf) / (Rf - Rt)
The other consideration is desired gain (G) which is:
G = (1 + Rf/Rg)
By plugging in the value for Rg we get
Rf = G * Rt
And Rg can be written in terms of Rt and G as follows:
Rg = (G * Rt) / (G - 1)
The complete input offset equation is now only dependent
on the voltage offset and input offset terms given by:

It’s easy to see that the effect of amplier voltage noise
is proportionate to gain and will tend to dominate at large
gains. The other terms will have their greatest impact at
large Rt values at lower gains.
Layout Considerations
General layout and supply bypassing play major roles in
high frequency performance. Exar has evaluation boards to
use as a guide for high frequency layout and as an aid in
device testing and characterization. Follow the steps below
as a basis for high frequency layout:
Include 6.8µF and 0.1µF ceramic capacitors for power supply
decoupling
Place the 6.8µF capacitor within 0.75 inches of the power pin
Place the 0.1µF capacitor within 0.1 inches of the power pin
Remove the ground plane under and around the part,
especially near the input and output pins to reduce parasitic
capacitance
Minimize all trace lengths to reduce series inductances
Refer to the evaluation board layouts below for more
information.
Evaluation Board Information
The following evaluation boards are available to aid in the
testing and layout of these devices:
Evaluation Board # Products
CEB002 CLC1003 in TSOT
CEB003 CLC1003 in SOIC
Evaluation Board Schematics
Evaluation board schematics and layouts are shown in
Figures 8-12 These evaluation boards are built for dual-
supply operation. Follow these steps to use the board in a
single-supply application:
1. Short -VS to ground.
2. Use C3 and C4, if the -VS pin of the amplier is not
directly connected to the ground plane.
