General Description
The KH560 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 120MHz. 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 KH560 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 KH560 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 compen-
sation allows user adjustment of the frequency
response. The KH560 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 KH560 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
KH561, offers higher full power bandwidth for
broadband sinusoidal applications.
The KH560 is constructed using thin film resistor/bipolar
transistor technology, and is available in the following
versions:
