The AD8055 and AD8056 require only 5 mA typ/amplifier of
supply current and operate on a dual ±5 V or a single +12 V
power supply, while capable of delivering over 60 mA of load
current. The AD8055 is available in a small 8-lead PDIP, an 8-lead
SOIC, and a 5-lead SOT-23, while the AD8056 is available in an
8-lead MSOP. These features make the AD8055/AD8056 ideal
for portable and battery-powered applications where size and
power are critical. These amplifiers in the R-8, N-8, and RM-8
packages are available in the extended temperature range of
−40°C to +125°C.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8055 (single) and AD8056 (dual) voltage feedback
amplifiers offer bandwidth and slew rate typically found in
current feedback amplifiers. Additionally, these amplifiers are
easy to use and available at a very low cost.
Despite their low cost, the AD8055 and AD8056 provide
excellent overall performance. For video applications, their
differential gain and phase error are 0.01% and 0.02° into a
150  load and 0.02% and 0.1° while driving four video loads
(37.50 ).

Parameter Ratings
MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the
AD8055/AD8056 is limited by the associated rise in junction
temperature. The maximum safe junction temperature for
plastic encapsulated devices is determined by the glass
transition temperature of the plastic, approximately 150°C.
Exceeding this limit temporarily can cause a shift in parametric
performance due to a change in the stresses exerted on the die
by the package. Exceeding a junction temperature of 175°C for
an extended period can result in device failure.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
While the AD8055/AD8056 are internally short-circuit
protected, this may not be sufficient to guarantee that the
maximum junction temperature (150°C) is not exceeded under
all conditions. To ensure proper operation, it is necessary to
observe the maximum power derating curves.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

APPLICATIONS
FOUR-LINE VIDEO DRIVER Between these points, a feedback resistor can be used to close
the loop. As in the case of a conventional op amp inverting gain
stage, an input resistor is added to vary the gain.
The AD8055 is a useful low cost circuit for driving up to four
video lines. For such an application, the amplifier is configured
for a noninverting gain of 2, as shown in Figure 36. The input
video source is terminated in 75 Ω and is applied to the high
impedance noninverting input.
/R
The gain of this circuit from the input to AMP1 output is RF I,
while the gain to the output of AMP2 is −R /R
F I. The circuit
therefore creates a balanced differential output signal from a
single-ended input. The advantage of this circuit is that the gain
can be changed by changing a single resistor, while still
maintaining the balanced differential outputs.
Each output cable is connected to the op amp output via a 75 Ω
series back termination resistor for proper cable termination.
The terminating resistors at the other ends of the lines divide
the output signal by 2, which is compensated for by the gain of 2
of the op amp stage.

For a single load, the differential gain error of this circuit was
measured as 0.01%, with a differential phase error of 0.02°. The
two load measurements were 0.02% and 0.03°, respectively. For
four loads, the differential gain error is 0.02%, while the

SINGLE-ENDED-TO-DIFFERENTIAL LINE DRIVER The AD8055 makes a good, low cost, low noise, low power
preamp. A gain-of-10 preamp can be made with a feedback
resistor of 909 Ω and a gain resistor of 100 Ω, as shown in
Creating differential signals from single-ended signals is
required for driving balanced, twisted pair cables, differential
input ADCs, and other applications that require differential
signals. This can be accomplished by using an inverting and a
noninverting amplifier stage to create the complementary
signals.

The circuit shown in Figure 37 shows how an AD8056 can be
used to make a single-ended-to-differential converter that offers
some advantages over the architecture previously mentioned.
Each op amp is configured for unity gain by the feedback
resistors from the outputs to the inverting inputs. In addition,
each output drives the opposite op amp with a gain of −1 by
means of the crossed resistors. The result of this is that the
outputs are complementary and there is high gain in the overall
configuration.
Figure 38. Low Noise, Low Power Preamp with G = +10 and BW = 20 MHz
With a low source resistance (< approximately 100 Ω), the
major contributors to the input-referred noise of this circuit are
the input voltage noise of the amplifier and the noise of the
100  resistor. These are 6 nV/√Hz and 1.2 nV/√Hz, respectively.
These values yield a total input referred noise of 6.1 nV/√Hz.
Feedback techniques similar to a conventional op amp are used
to control the gain of the circuit. From the noninverting input
of AMP1 to the output of AMP2 is an inverting gain.

POWER DISSIPATION LIMITS
With a 10 V supply (total VCC − VEE), the quiescent power
dissipation of the AD8055 in the SOT-23-5 package is 65 mW,
while the quiescent power dissipation of the AD8056 in the
MSOP-8 is 120 mW. This translates into a 15.6°C rise above the
ambient for the SOT-23-5 package and a 24°C rise for the
MSOP-8 package.
The power dissipated under heavy load conditions is
approximately equal to the supply voltage minus the output
voltage, times the load current, plus the quiescent power
previously computed. The total power dissipation is then
multiplied by the thermal resistance of the package to find the
temperature rise, above ambient, of the part. The junction
temperature should be kept below 150°C.
Figure 39. Capacitive Load Drive
In general, to minimize peaking or to ensure the stability for
larger values of capacitive loads, a small series resistor, R
The AD8055 in the SOT-23-5 package can dissipate 270 mW,
while the AD8056 in the MSOP-8 package can dissipate
325 mW (at 85°C ambient) without exceeding the maximum
die temperature. In the case of the AD8056, this is greater than
1.5 V rms into 50 Ω, enough to accommodate a 4 V p-p sine
wave signal on both outputs simultaneously. However, because
each output of the AD8055 or AD8056 is capable of supplying
as much as 110 mA into a short circuit, a continuous short-
circuit condition will exceed the maximum safe junction
temperature.

Table 3 is a guide for resistor selection for maintaining gain
flatness vs. frequency for various values of gain.

DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS
When driving a capacitive load, most op amps exhibit peaking
in the frequency response just before the frequency rolls off.
Figure 39 shows the responses for an AD8056 running at a gain
of +2, with an 100 Ω load that is shunted by various values of
capacitance. It can be seen that under these conditions the part
is still stable with capacitive loads of up to 30 pF.
L was empirically derived and is shown in Figure 41. RS was
chosen to produce less than 1 dB of peaking in the frequency
response. Note also that after a sharp rise, RS quickly settles to
approximately 25 Ω.
