General Description
The KH563 is a wideband DC coupled, amplifier that
combines high output drive and low distortion. At
an output of +24dBm (10V_pp into 50Ω), the -3dB
bandwidth is 150MHz. As illustrated in the table
below, distortion performance remains excellent
even when amplifying high-frequency signals to high
output power levels.
With the output current internally limited to 250mA,
the KH563 is fully protected against shorts to ground
and can, with the addition of a series limiting resistor
at the output, withstand shorts to the ±15V supplies.
The KH563 has been designed for maximum flexibility
in a wide variety of demanding applications. The
two resistors comprising the feedback network set
both the gain and the output impedance, without
requiring the series backmatch resistor needed by most
op amps. This allows driving into a matched load
without dropping half the voltage swing through a
series matching resistor. External compensation allows
user adjustment of the frequency response. The
KH563 is specified for both maximally flat frequency
response and 0% pulse overshoot compensations.
The combination of wide bandwidth, high output
power, and low distortion, coupled with gain, output
impedance and frequency response flexibility, makes
the KH563 ideal for waveform generator applications.
Excellent stability driving capacitive loads yields
superior performance driving ADC’s, long transmission
lines, and SAW devices. A companion part, the
KH560, offers superior pulse fidelity for high accuracy
DC coupled applications.
The KH563 is constructed using thin film resistor/bipolar
transistor technology, and is available in the following
versions:
KH563AI -25°C to +85°C 24-pin Ceramic DIP
