values of feedback resistances (lower current DACs). This
minimum current sink capability, typically to an output
input pole can be compensated for by creating a feedback
zero with a capacitance across the feedback resistance, if
necessary, to reduce overshoot. For 2.0 kΩ of feedback
resistance, the MC34071 series can settle to within 1/2 LSB
of 8 bits in 1.0 µs, and within 1/2 LSB of 12–bits in 2.2 µs
for a 10 V step. In a inverting unity gain fast settling
configuration, the symmetrical slew rate is ±13 V/µs. In the
classic noninverting unity gain configuration, the output
positive slew rate is +10 V/µs, and the corresponding
negative slew rate will exceed the positive slew rate as a
function of the fall time of the input waveform.
Since the bipolar input device matching characteristics
are superior to that of JFETs, a low untrimmed maximum
offset voltage of 3.0 mV prime and 5.0 mV downgrade can
be economically offered with high frequency performance
characteristics. This combination is ideal for low cost
precision, high speed quad op amp applications.

EE
output can directly source or sink base current from a
common emitter NPN transistor for fast high current
switching applications.
In addition, the all NPN transistor output stage is
inherently fast, contributing to the bipolar amplifier’s high
gain bandwidth product and fast settling capability. The
associated high frequency low output impedance (30 Ω typ
@ 1.0 MHz) allows capacitive drive capability from 0 pF to
10,000 pF without oscillation in the unity closed loop gain
configuration. The 60° phase margin and 12 dB gain margin
as well as the general gain and phase characteristics are
virtually independent of the source/sink output swing
conditions. This allows easier system phase compensation,
since output swing will not be a phase consideration. The
high frequency characteristics of the MC34071 series also
allow excellent high frequency active filter capability,
especially for low voltage single supply applications.
Although the single supply specifications is defined at
5.0 V, these amplifiers are functional to 3.0 V @ 25°C
although slight changes in parametrics such as bandwidth,
slew rate, and DC gain may occur.
The all NPN output stage, shown in its basic form on the
equivalent circuit schematic, offers unique advantages over
the more conventional NPN/PNP transistor Class AB

If power to this integrated circuit is applied in reverse

This large output swing becomes most noticeable at lower

As with most high frequency amplifiers, proper lead
dress, component placement, and PC board layout should
be exercised for optimum frequency performance. For
example, long unshielded input or output leads may result in
unwanted input–output coupling. In order to preserve the
relatively low input capacitance associated with these
amplifiers, resistors connected to the inputs should be
immediatelyadjacent to the input pin to minimize additional
stray input capacitance. This not only minimizes the input
pole for optimum frequency response, but also minimizes
extraneous “pick up” at this node. Supply decoupling with
adequatecapacitanceimmediatelyadjacenttothesupplypin
is also important, particularly over temperature, since many
types of decoupling capacitors exhibit great impedance
changes over temperature.
The output of any one amplifier is current limited and thus
protected from a direct short to ground. However, under
such conditions, it is important not to allow the device to
exceed the maximum junction temperature rating. Typically
for ±15 V supplies, any one output can be shorted
continuously to ground without exceeding the maximum
temperature rating.

possible output swing can be achieved for a given supply
voltage. For light load currents, the load resistance will pull
the output to V
during the positive swing and the output

swing. The load resistance value should be much less than
that of the feedback resistance to maximize pull up
capability.
