General Description
The KH300 operational amplifier is a current feed-
back amplifier that provides a DC-85MHz -3dB band-
width that is virtually independent of gain setting.
Rise and fall times of 4ns and drive capability of
22V
pp
and 100mA add to the KH300's impressive
specifications.
Using the KH300 is as easy as adding power supplies
and a gain-setting resistor. Unlike conventional op
amp designs in which optimum gain-bandwidth
product occurs at a high gain, minimum settling time
at a gain of -1, maximum slew rate at a gain of +1,
et cetera, the KH300 offers consistent performance
at gain settings from 1 to 40 inverting or non-inverting.
As a result, designing with the KH300 is greatly
simplified. And since no external compensation is
necessary, "tweeks" on the production line have been
eliminated, making the KH300 an efficient
component for use in production situations.
Flat gain and phase response from DC to 45MHz and
superior rise and fall times make the KH300 an ideal
amplifier for a broad range of pulse, analog, and
digital applications. A 45MHz full power bandwidth
(20V
pp
into 100
) and 3000V/sec slew rate eliminate
the need for power buffers in many applications
such as driving "flash" A to D converters or line-
driving. For applications requiring lower power
consumption, the KH300 can operate on supplies as
low as 5V. Fast overload recovery (20ns) helps
prevent loss of data in communications applications
and flat phase response reduces distortion, even when
data must be sent over extended lengths of line.
The KH300A is packaged in a side-brazed 24-pin
ceramic DIP and is specified at 25C.

Layout Considerations
To assure optimum performance the user should follow
good layout practices which minimize the unwanted
coupling of signals between nodes. During initial bread-
boarding of the circuit, use direct point to point wiring,
keeping lead lengths to less than 0.25". The use of
solid, unbroken ground plane is helpful. Avoid wire-wrap
type pc boards and methods. Sockets with small, short
pin receptacles may be used with minimal performance
degradation although their use is not recommended.
Figure 1: Recommended Non-inverting Gain Circuit
Figure 2: Recommended Inverting Gain Circuit
During pc board layout keep all traces short and direct.
R
f
and R
g
should be as close as possible to pin 8 to
minimize capacitance at that point. For the same reason,
remove ground plane from the vicinity of pins 8 and 6. In
other areas, use as much ground plane as possible on
one side of the pc board. It is especially important to
provide a ground return path for current from the load
resistor to the power supply bypass capacitors. Ceramic
capacitors of 0.01 to 0.1
F should be close to pins 13
and 16. Larger tantalum capacitors should also be
placed within one inch of these pins. To prevent signal
distortion caused by reflections from impedance mis-
matches, use terminated microstrip or coaxial cable
when the signal must traverse more than a few inches.
Since the pc board forms such an important part of the
circuit, much time can be saved if prototype boards of
any high frequency sections are built and tested early in
the design phase.
Controlling Bandwidth and Passband Response
As with any op amp, the ratio of the two feedback resistors
R
f
and R
g
, determines the gain of the KH300. Unlike
conventional op amps, however, the closed loop pole-
zero response of the KH300 is affected very little by the
value of R
g
. R
g
scales the magnitude of the gain, but
does not change the value of the feedback. R
f
does
influence the feedback and so the KH300 has been
internally compensated for optimum performance with
R
f
= 1500
, but any value of R
f
> 500
may be used
with a single capacitor placed between pins 8 and 12 for
compensation. See table 1. As R
f
decreases, C
c
must
increase to maintain flat gain. Large values of R
f
and
C
c
can be used together or separately to reduce the
bandwidth. This may be desirable for reducing the noise
bandwidth in applications not requiring the full frequency
response available.

Low Gain Operation
The small amount of stray capacitance present at the
inverting input can cause peaking which increases with
decreasing gain. The gain setting resistor R
g
is effectively
in parallel with this capacitance and so a frequency
domain pole results. With small R
g
(Gain > 8), this pole
is at a high frequency and it affects the closed loop gain
of the KH300 only slightly. At lower values of gain, this
pole becomes significant. For example, at a gain of +2,
the gain may peak as much as 3dB at 75MHz, and have
a bandwidth exceeding 150MHz. The same behavior
does not exist for low inverting gains, however, since the
inverting input is a virtual ground which maintains a
constant voltage across the stray capacitance. Even at
inverting gains << 1, the frequency response remains
unchanged.
