The LT

1357 is a high speed, very high slew rate opera-

tional amplifier with outstanding AC and DC performance.
The LT1357 has much lower supply current, lower input
offset voltage, lower input bias current, and higher DC gain
than devices with comparable bandwidth. The circuit
topology is a voltage feedback amplifier with the
slewing characteristics of a current feedback amplifier.
The amplifier is a single gain stage with outstanding
settling characteristics which makes the circuit an ideal
choice for data acquisition systems. The output drives a
500 load to t12V with t15V supplies and a 150
load to t2.5V on t5V supplies. The amplifier is also
stable with any capacitive load which makes it useful in
buffer or cable driver applications.
The LT1357 is a member of a family of fast, high perfor-
mance amplifiers using this unique topology and employ-
ing Linear Technology Corporations advanced bipolar
complementary processing. For dual and quad amplifier
versions of the LT1357 see the LT1358/LT1359 data
sheet. For higher bandwidth devices with higher supply
current see the LT1360 through LT1365 data sheets. For
lower supply current amplifiers see the LT1354 and LT1355/
LT1356 data sheets. Singles, duals, and quads of each
amplifier are available.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The q denotes specifications that apply over the full specified temperature
range.
Note 1: Differential inputs of t10V are appropriate for transient operation
only, such as during slewing. Large, sustained differential inputs will
cause excessive power dissipation and may damage the part. See Input
Considerations in the Applications Information section of this data sheet
for more details.
Note 2: A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature
below absolute maximum when the output is shorted indefinitely.
Note 3: Slew rate is measured between t10V on the output with t6V input
for t15V supplies and t1V on the output with t1.75V input for t5V supplies.
Note 4: Full power bandwidth is calculated from the slew rate
measurement: FPBW = SR/2V
P
.
Note 5: This parameter is not 100% tested.
Note 6: The LT1357 is designed, characterized and expected to meet these
extended temperature limits, but is not tested at 40C and at 85C.
Guaranteed I grade parts are available; consult factory.

The LT1357 may be inserted directly into many high
speed amplifier applications improving both DC and AC
performance, provided that the nulling circuitry is
removed. The suggested nulling circuit for the LT1357 is

LT1357
Layout and Passive Components
The LT1357 amplifier is easy to apply and tolerant of less
than ideal layouts. For maximum performance (for
example, fast settling time) use a ground plane, short lead
lengths and RF-quality bypass capacitors (0.01F to 0.1F).
For high drive current applications use low ESR bypass
capacitors (1F to 10F tantalum). Sockets should be
avoided when maximum frequency performance is
required, although low profile sockets can provide
reasonable performance up to 50MHz. For more details
see Design Note 50.
The parallel combination of the feedback resistor and gain
setting resistor on the inverting input can combine with
the input capacitance to form a pole which can cause
peaking or oscillations. For feedback resistors greater
than 5k, a parallel capacitor of value
C
F
> (R
G
C
IN
)/R
F
should be used to cancel the input pole and optimize
dynamic performance. For unity-gain applications where
a large feedback resistor is used, C
F
should be greater
than or equal to C
IN
.
Capacitive Loading
The LT1357 is stable with any capacitive load. This is
accomplished by sensing the load induced output pole and
adding compensation at the amplifier gain node. As the
capacitive load increases, both the bandwidth and phase
margin decrease so there will be peaking in the frequency
domain and in the transient response as shown in the
typical performance curves.The photo of the small-signal
response with 1000pF load shows 50% peaking. The
large-signal response with a 10,000pF load shows the
output slew rate being limited to 5V/s by the short-circuit
current. Coaxial cable can be driven directly, but for best
pulse fidelity a resistor of value equal to the characteristic
impedance of the cable (i.e., 75) should be placed in
10

series with the output. The other end of the cable should
be terminated with the same value resistor to ground.
Input Considerations
Each of the LT1357 inputs is the base of an NPN and
a PNP transistor whose base currents are of opposite
polarity and provide first-order bias current cancellation.
Because of variation in the matching of NPN and PNP
beta, the polarity of the input bias current can be positive
or negative. The offset current does not depend on
NPN/PNP beta matching and is well controlled. The use of
balanced source resistance at each input is recommended
for applications where DC accuracy must be maximized.
The inputs can withstand transient differential input volt-
ages up to 10V without damage and need no clamping or
source resistance for protection. Differential inputs, how-
ever, generate large supply currents (tens of mA) as
required for high slew rates. If the device is used with
sustained differential inputs, the average supply current
will increase, excessive power dissipation will result and
the part may be damaged. The part should not be used as
a comparator, peak detector or other open-loop applica-
tion with large, sustained differential inputs. Under
normal, closed-loop operation, an increase of power
dissipation is only noticeable in applications with large
slewing outputs and is proportional to the magnitude of
the differential input voltage and the percent of the time
that the inputs are apart. Measure the average supply
current for the application in order to calculate the power
dissipation.
Power Dissipation
The LT1357 combines high speed and large output drive
in a small package. Because of the wide supply voltage
range, it is possible to exceed the maximum junction
temperature under certain conditions. Maximum junction
temperature (T
J
) is calculated from the ambient tempera-
ture (T
A
) and power dissipation (P
D
) as follows:
LT1357CN8: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
130C/W)
LT1357CS8: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
190C/W)
Worst-case power dissipation occurs at the maximum
supply current and when the output voltage is at 1/2 of
either supply voltage (or the maximum swing if less than
1/2 supply voltage). Therefore P
DMAX
is:

Example: LT1357CS8 at 70C, V
S

L
= 120
(Note: the minimum short-circuit current at 70C is
25mA, so the output swing is guaranteed only to 3V with
120.)
P
DMAX
= (30V 2.9mA) + (15V3V)(25mA) = 387mW
T
JMAX
= 70C + (387mW 190C/W) = 144C
Circuit Operation
The LT1357 circuit topology is a true voltage feedback
amplifier that has the slewing behavior of a current feed-
back amplifier. The operation of the circuit can be under-
stood by referring to the simplified schematic. The inputs
are buffered by complementary NPN and PNP emitter
followers which drive a 500 resistor. The input voltage
appears across the resistor generating currents which are
mirrored into the high impedance node. Complementary
followers form an output stage which buffers the gain
node from the load. The bandwidth is set by the input
resistor and the capacitance on the high impedance node.
The slew rate is determined by the current available to
charge the gain node capacitance. This current is the
differential input voltage divided by R1, so the slew rate
is proportional to the input. Highest slew rates are there-
fore seen in the lowest gain configurations. For example,
a 10V output step in a gain of 10 has only a 1V input step,
whereas the same output step in unity-gain has a ten times
greater input step. The curve of Slew Rate vs Input Level
illustrates this relationship. The LT1357 is tested for slew
rate in a gain of 2 so higher slew rates can be expected
in gains of 1 and 1, and lower slew rates in higher gain
configurations.
The RC network across the output stage is bootstrapped
when the amplifier is driving a light or moderate load and

has no effect under normal operation. When driving a
capacitive load (or a low value resistive load) the network
is incompletely bootstrapped and adds to the compensa-
tion at the high impedance node. The added capacitance
slows down the amplifier which improves the phase
margin by moving the unity-gain frequency away from the
pole formed by the output impedance and the capacitive
load. The zero created by the RC combination adds phase
to ensure that even for very large load capacitances, the
total phase lag can never exceed 180 degrees (zero phase
margin) and the amplifier remains stable.
