General Description
The KH232 is a wideband low distortion operational
amplifier designed specifically for high speed, low gain
applications requiring wide dynamic range. Utilizing a
current feedback architecture, the KH232 offers high
speed performance while maintaining DC precision.
The KH232 offers precise gains from ±1 to ±5 with a
true 0.1% linearity and provides stable, oscillation-
free operation across the entire gain range without
external compensation. The KH232, a pin compatible
enhanced version of the KH231, reduces 2nd and 3rd
harmonic distortion to an extremely low -69dBc at
20MHz (2V
pp
, R
L
= 100Ω). Additional features provided
by the KH232 include a small signal bandwidth of
270MHz, a large signal bandwidth of 95MHz and a
3000V/µs slew rate. The input offset voltage is typically
1mV with an input offset drift of 10µV/°C.
The KH232 combines these high performance features
with its 0.05% settling time of 15ns and its 100mA
drive capability to provide high speed, high resolution
A/D and D/A converter systems with an attractive
solution for driving and buffering. Wide dynamic
range systems such as radar and communication
receivers requiring low harmonic distortion and low
noise will find the KH232 to be an excellent choice. As
a line driver, the KH232 set at a gain of 2 cancels
matched line losses.
The KH232 is constructed using thin film resistor/bipolar
transistor technology, and is available in the following
versions:

DATA SHEET
KH232
Operation
The KH232 is based on the current feedback op amp
topology, a design that uses current feedback instead of
the usual voltage feedback.
The use of the KH232 is basically the same as that of the
conventional op amp (see Figures 1 and 2). Since the
device is designed specifically for low gain applications,
the best performance is obtained when the circuit is used
at gains between ±1 and ±5. Additionally, performance is
optimum when a 250Ω feedback resistor is used.
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 the 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.
During pc board layout keep all traces short and direct
The resistive body of R
g
should be as close as possible
to pin 5 to minimize capacitance at that point. For the
same reason, remove ground plane from the vicinity of
pins 5 and 6. In other areas, use as much ground plane
as possible on one side of the 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 0.1µf (with short leads)
should be less than 0.15 inches from pins 1 and 9.
Larger tantalum capacitors should be placed within one
inch of these pins. V
CC
connections to pins 10 and 12
can be made directly from pins 9 and 1, but better supply
rejection and settling time are obtained if they are
separately bypassed as in figures 1 and 2. To prevent
signal distortion caused by reflections from impedance
mismatches, 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. Evaluation boards designed for either
inverting or non-inverting gains are available.
Offset Voltage Adjustment
If trimming of the input offset voltage (V
os
= V
ni
-V
in
) is
desired, a resistor value of 10kΩ to 1MΩ placed between
pins 8 and 9 will cause V
os
to become more negative by
8mV to 0.2mV respectively. Similarly, a resistor placed
between pins 1 and 2 will cause V
os
, to become more
positive.
Thermal Considerations
At high ambient temperatures or large internal power
dissipations, heat sinking is required to maintain
acceptable junction temperatures. Use the thermal
model on the previous page to determine junction
temperatures. Many styles of heat sinks are available for
TO-8 packages; the Thermalloy 2240 and 2268 are good
examples. Some heat sinks are the radial fin type which
cover the pc board and may interfere with external
components. An excellent solution to this problem is to
use surface mounted resistors and capacitors. They
have a very low profile and actually improve high
frequency performance. For use of these heat sinks with
conventional components, a 0.1” high spacer can be inserted
under the TO-8 package to allow sufficient clearance.

Other methods of heat sinking may be used, but for
best results, make contact with the base of the KH232
package, use a large thermal capacity heat sink and use

Operation: Supply Current Adjustment
The KH232 is designed to operate on supplies as low
as ±5V. In order to improve full bandwidth at reduced
supply voltages, the supply current (I
CC
) must be
increased. The plot of Bandwidth vs. V
CC
, shows the
effect of shorting pins 1 and 2 and pins 8 and 9; this
will increase both bandwidth and supply current. Care
should be taken to not exceed the maximum junction
temperatures; for this reason this technique should not
be used with supplies exceeding ±10V. For intermediate
values of V
CC
, external resistors between pins 1 and 2
and pins 8 and 9 can be used.

With no heat sink, the rise in T

respectively! Under most conditions,

REQUIRED.
