SBOS998C June 2021 – March 2022 BUF802
PRODUCTION DATA
The wide large-signal bandwidth and fast slew rate of the BUF802 coupled with Hi-Z input are useful in a variety of high-frequency signal chain applications. As shown in Figure 8-10 the BUF802 uses the Main Path and operates the JFET and transistors as source follower and emitter followers to reproduce signal applied on IN, at the output of BUF802. The pins associated with only CL Mode (Pin No. 6, 4, and 3) are left floating while operating in BF Mode.
Figure 8-11 shows how the BUF802 can also be used in a composite loop while being operated in BF Mode. The operation of BUF802 in Figure 8-11 would still be called BF Mode since the signal is being transferred through the Main Path only. The Auxiliary path and the pins associated with the Auxiliary path and CL Mode are kept disabled. The low-frequency and high-frequency signal components are combined externally through the discrete components R1 and C1 prior to being applied at the IN pin.
