Description

The BUF600 and BUF601 are monolithic open-loop unity-gain buffer amplifiers with a high symmetrical slew rate of up to 3600V/ms and a very wide bandwidth of 320MHz at 5Vp-p output swing. They use a complementary bipolar IC process, which incorporates pn-junction isolated high-frequency NPN and PNP transistors to achieve high-frequency performance previously unattainable with conventional integrated circuit technology.

Their unique design of BUF601 offers a high-performance alternative to expensive discrete or hybrid solutions.

The BUF600 and BUF601 feature low quiescent current, low input bias current, small signal delay time and phase shift, and low differential gain and phase errors.

The BUF600 with 3mA quiescent current is wellsuited for operation between high-frequency processing stages. It demonstrates outstanding performance even in feedback loops of wide-band amplifiers or phase-locked loop systems.

The BUF601, with 6mA quiescent current and therefore lower output impedance, can easily drive 50 inputs or 75 systems and cables.

The broad range of analog and digital applications of BUF601 extends from decoupling of signal processing stages, impedance transformation, and input amplifiers for RF equipment and ATE systems to video systems, distribution fields, IF/communications systems, and output drivers for graphic cards.
