General Description

The CLC1010 family are a single supply, general purpose,

voltage-feedback amplifiers fabricated on a complementary

bipolar process. The CLC1010 offers 7.3MHz unity gain

bandwidth, 9V/μs slew rate, and only 70μA supply current.

It features a rail-to-rail output stage and is unity gain stable.

The design utilizes a patent pending topology that provides

increased slew rate performance. The common mode input

range extends to 300mV below ground and to 1.2V below

Vs. Exceeding these values will not cause phase reversal.

However, if the input voltage exceeds the rails by more

than 0.5V, the input ESD devices will begin to conduct. The

output will stay at the rail during this overdrive condition.

The design uses a Darlington output stage. The output

stage is short circuit protected and offers “soft” saturation

protection that improves recovery time.

Figures 1, 2, and 3 illustrate typical circuit configurations for

non-inverting, inverting, and unity gain topologies for dual

supply applications. They show the recommended bypass

capacitor values and overall closed loop gain equations.

Figure 4 shows the typical non-inverting gain circuit for

single supply applicaitons.
