The LMH6321 is a high speed unity gain buffer that slews at 1800 V/µs and has a small signal bandwidth of 110 MHz while driving a 50 Ω load. It can drive ±300 mA continuously and will not oscillate while driving large capacitive loads. The LMH6321 features an adjustable current limit. The current limit is continuously adjustable from 10 mA to 300 mA with a ±5 mA ±5% accuracy. The current limit is set by adjusting an external reference current with a resistor. The current can be easily and instantly adjusted, as needed by connecting the resistor to a DAC to form the reference current. The sourcing and sinking currents share the same current limit. The LMH6321 is available in a space saving 8-pin SO PowerPAD or a 7-pin DDPAK power package. The SO PowerPAD™ package features an exposed pad on the bottom of the package to increase its heat sinking capability. The LMH6321 can be used within the feedback loop of an operational amplifier to boost the current output or as a stand alone buffer.

The LMH6503 is a wideband, DC coupled, differential input, voltage controlled gain stage followed by a high-speed current feedback Op Amp which can directly drive a low impedance load. Gain adjustment range is more than 70dB for up to 10MHz. Maximum gain is set by external components and the gain can be reduced all the way to cut-off. Power consumption is 370mW with a speed of 135MHz . Output referred DC offset voltage is less than 350mV over the entire gain control voltage range. Device-to-device Gain matching is within 0.7dB at maximum gain. Furthermore, gain at any VGis tested and the tolerance is ensured. The output current feedback Op Amp allows high frequency large signals (Slew Rate = 1800V/μs) and can also drive heavy load current (75mA). Differential inputs allow common mode rejection in low level amplification or in applications where signals are carried over relatively long wires. For single ended operation, the unused input can easily be tied to ground (or to a virtual half-supply in single supply application). Inverting or non-inverting gains could be obtained by choosing one input polarity or the other. To further increase versatility when used in a single supply application, gain control range is set to be from −1V to +1V relative to pin 11 potential (ground pin). In single supply operation, this ground pin is tied to a "virtual" half supply. Gain control pin has high input impedance to simplify its drive requirement.
