LF398
DESCRIPTION
The LF398 is a monolithic sample-and-hold circuit which utilizes
high-voltage ion-implant JFET technology to obtain ultra-high DC
accuracy with fast acquisition of signal and low droop rate.
Operating as a unity gain follower, DC gain accuracy is 0.002%
typical and acquisition time is as low as 6
µs
to 0.01%. A bipolar
input stage is used to achieve low offset voltage and wide
bandwidth. Input offset adjust is accomplished with a single pin and
does not degrade input offset drift. The wide bandwidth allows the
LF398 to be included inside the feedback loop of 1 MHz op amps
without having stability problems. Input impedance of 10
10
Ω
allows
high source impedances to be used without degrading accuracy.
P-channel junction FETs are combined with bipolar devices in the
output amplifier to give droop rates as low as 5 mV/min with a 1
µF
hold capacitor. The JFETs have much lower noise than MOS
devices used in previous designs and do not exhibit high
temperature instabilities. The overall design guarantees no
feedthrough from input to output in the hold mode even for input
signals equal to the supply voltages.
Logic inputs are fully differential with low input current, allowing
direct connection to TTL, PMOS, and CMOS; differential threshold is
1.4 V. The LF398 will operate from
±5
V to
±18
V supplies. It is
available in 8-pin plastic DIP and 14-pin plastic SO packages.

NOTES:
1. The maximum junction temperature of the LF398 is 150
°C.
When operating at elevated ambient temperature, the packages must be
derated based on the thermal resistance specified.
2. Although the differential voltage may not exceed the limits given, the common-mode voltage on the logic pins must always be at least 2V
below the positive supply and 3 V above the negative supply.
3. Derate above 25
°C,
at the following rates:

= 10 kΩ. Logic reference voltage = 0 V and logic voltage = 2.5 V.
2. Hold step is sensitive to stray capacitive coupling between input logic signals and the hold capacitor. 1 pF, for instance, will create an
additional 0.5 mV step with a 5 V logic swing and a 0.01
µF
hold capacitor. Magnitude of the hold step is inversely proportional to hold
capacitor value.
3. Leakage current is measured at a junction temperature of 25
°C.
The effects of junction temperature rise due to power dissipation or
elevated ambient can be calculated by doubling the 25
°C
value for each 11
°C
increase in chip temperature. Leakage is guaranteed over
full input signal range.
4. The parameters are guaranteed over a supply voltage of
±5
to
±18
V.
