Product details
Overview
ADA4800ACPZ-RL from Analog Devices is a low-power, high-speed voltage buffer IC with integrated active load, designed specifically for open-source CCD sensor output buffering. It delivers 400 MHz −3 dB bandwidth, 415 V/μs slew rate, and 4 ns 1% settling time on a 2 V step, operating from 4 V to 17 V supply while consuming only 20 mW static power. Its primary role is to condition CCD analog outputs before feeding into high-resolution AFEs such as AD9928 or AD997x.
For engineers reviewing the ADA4800ACPZ-RL datasheet, ADA4800ACPZ-RL pinout, ADA4800ACPZ-RL application, or ADA4800ACPZ-RL equivalent, key selection criteria include adjustable bandwidth via IDRV pin, programmable active load current via ISF pin, power-save mode control, push-pull output drive capability, and compatibility with industrial-temperature CCD imaging systems requiring fast settling and low noise.
Technical Context
The ADA4800ACPZ-RL integrates two independent functional blocks: a unity-gain buffer with push-pull output stage and an externally adjustable active current load (IAL) connected to the IN pin. The buffer's quiescent current (ICC) and −3 dB bandwidth are set by external resistor-to-voltage configuration on the IDRV pin, enabling precise trade-offs between speed (up to 400 MHz) and power (1.1–4.7 mA ICC).
The active load current (IAL), ranging from 1 μA to 12.7 mA, is controlled via the ISF pin using an external resistor and voltage source - allowing full shutdown of IAL for power save mode or dynamic adjustment across standby, sleep, and active imaging modes. Both IAL and ICC remain stable over −40°C to +85°C and support rail-to-rail input/output swing within 1.4 V of supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth (−3 dB) | 400 MHz at 4.7 mA ICC - enables pixel clock rates up to ~200 MSPS in CCD line-scan applications. |
| Slew Rate | 415 V/μs - supports clean reproduction of fast CCD output transitions without distortion. |
| 1% Settling Time | 4 ns (rising), 4.5 ns (falling) on 2 V step - ensures accurate sampling of short-duration CCD video pulses. |
| Supply Range | 4 V to 17 V - compatible with both single-supply (e.g., +15 V) and split-supply (±7.5 V) CCD system architectures. |
| Active Load Current (IAL) | 0 μA (shutdown) to 12.7 mA (at VISF = 7.5 V) - programmable sink current for direct connection to open-drain CCD outputs. |
| Power Consumption | 20 mW typical static - meets stringent power budgets in portable digital still cameras and camcorders. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and consumer imaging environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
ADA4800ACPZ-RL is housed in a 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.55 mm, 6-lead LFCSP_UD (CP-6-4) package with exposed pad (EPAD) not internally connected to die. The package supports high-density PCB layouts and thermal dissipation via optional EPAD grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | CCD sensor output node | Direct connection point for open-source CCD output; accepts sink current from IAL block when enabled. |
| 2 - VEE | Negative supply rail | Reference for active load and buffer; supports ground or negative voltage (e.g., −7.5 V) operation. |
| 3 - OUT | Buffered analog output | Drives AFE input (e.g., AD9928) with push-pull capability; 1 kΩ || 22 pF load compliant per spec. |
| 4 - IDRV | Bandwidth and power control | Adjusts ICC and bandwidth via external resistor; logic-low disables buffer entirely. |
| 5 - VCC | Positive supply rail | Primary power for buffer and active load; must be powered before applying signals to any I/O pin. |
| 6 - ISF | Active load current control | Configures IAL magnitude or disables it for power save; compatible with microcontroller GPO logic levels. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated active load + unity-gain buffer | Eliminates need for external current source and op-amp in CCD output stage, reducing component count and layout area. |
| Adjustable bandwidth (182–400 MHz) | Enables optimization for different CCD pixel rates and resolution classes without changing ICs. |
| Programmable power save mode | Shuts down IAL and/or buffer via ISF/IDRV pins, cutting total current to <1 μA during idle periods. |
| Push-pull output stage | Delivers symmetrical 415 V/μs slew rate for both rising and falling edges, critical for fidelity in bi-directional CCD waveforms. |
| Industrial temperature range | Guarantees performance stability from −40°C to +85°C without calibration or compensation circuits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CCD buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6629MA/NOPB | Higher 1.5 GHz bandwidth but no integrated active load; requires external current source and consumes 50 mW. | Best suited for non-CCD applications where active load is unnecessary or already implemented externally. | Select LMH6629MA/NOPB only if system already provides discrete IAL and demands >500 MHz bandwidth beyond ADA4800ACPZ-RL's 400 MHz limit. |
| THS4304DR | Fixed 1.8 GHz bandwidth, no IAL or power-save control; 3.3 V only supply; 40 mW power. | Designed for high-speed communication receivers, not optimized for CCD sink-current interfacing or wide supply range. | Choose THS4304DR only for 3.3 V systems needing ultra-wideband amplification without CCD-specific features like ISF/IDRV programmability. |
Compared with LMH6629MA/NOPB and THS4304DR, ADA4800ACPZ-RL uniquely combines integrated active load, dual-pin programmability (ISF/IDRV), 4–17 V operation, and 20 mW power - making it the only solution purpose-built for energy-efficient, compact CCD output buffering across consumer and industrial imaging platforms.

FAQ
What is the function of the ISF pin on the ADA4800ACPZ-RL?
The ISF pin on the ADA4800ACPZ-RL controls the magnitude of the integrated active load current (IAL), which sinks current from the CCD sensor output connected to the IN pin. By applying a voltage (0 V to 7.5 V) through an external resistor, IAL can be set from 1 μA to 12.7 mA - or fully disabled for power save mode. This eliminates the need for an external current source and allows dynamic control via microcontroller GPIO.
How does the IDRV pin affect bandwidth and power in the ADA4800ACPZ-RL?
The IDRV pin on the ADA4800ACPZ-RL sets the buffer's quiescent supply current (ICC), directly determining both bandwidth and power consumption. With RIDRV = 50 kΩ, ICC reaches 4.7 mA and bandwidth peaks at 400 MHz; with RIDRV = 300 kΩ, ICC drops to 1.1 mA and bandwidth reduces to 182 MHz. Applying logic-low to IDRV shuts down the buffer entirely, reducing ICC to near-zero.
Can the ADA4800ACPZ-RL operate from a single 5 V supply?
Yes, the ADA4800ACPZ-RL supports single-supply operation from 4 V to 17 V. At 5 V, it maintains full functionality including 400 MHz bandwidth (with appropriate ICC setting), 4 ns settling time, and active load control - provided VEE is tied to ground and input/output voltage ranges (VEE + 1.4 V to VCC − 1.4 V) are respected. Decoupling and layout guidelines must be followed for optimal noise performance.
Which AFEs are explicitly supported by the ADA4800ACPZ-RL according to its datasheet?
The ADA4800ACPZ-RL datasheet explicitly lists compatibility with Analog Devices' 12-bit and 14-bit high-resolution analog front ends, including AD9928, AD9990, AD9920A, AD9923A, and the AD997x family (e.g., AD9970, AD9971). These AFEs share compatible input voltage ranges, timing requirements, and noise sensitivity profiles that align with ADA4800ACPZ-RL's 1.5 nV/√Hz noise and fast settling behavior.
Does the ADA4800ACPZ-RL require external passive components for basic operation?
Yes - the ADA4800ACPZ-RL requires external resistors on ISF and IDRV pins to set active load current and bandwidth, plus 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitors on VCC, VEE, ISF, and IDRV pins. A 1 kΩ || 22 pF load is specified for dynamic testing, and bulk decoupling (e.g., 47 µF tantalum) is recommended near the supply rails. No external feedback network is needed due to fixed gain-of-1 architecture.
