In the inverting mode, and for gains of 2 or more V + – VEN (V) in the noninverting mode, the signal amplitude between the 1398/99 F01 input pins is small and the overall slew rate is that of the Figure 1. + IS vs (V+ – VEN) output stage. For gains less than 2 in the noninverting mode, the overall slew rate is limited by the input stage. OUTPUT The input slew rate of the LT1398/LT1399/LT1399HV is approximately 600V/µs and is set by internal currents and capacitances. The output slew rate is set by the value of the feedback resistor and internal capacitance. At a gain of 2 with 324Ω feedback and gain resistors and ±5V supplies, the output slew rate is typically 800V/µs. Larger feedback resistors will reduce the slew rate as will lower supply EN voltages.

Amplifier Enable Time, AV = 2 Each amplifier of the LT1398/LT1399/LT1399HV has a unique high impedance, zero supply current mode which is controlled by its own EN pin. These amplifiers are designed to operate with CMOS logic; the amplifiers draw OUTPUT zero current when these pins are high. To activate each amplifier, its EN pin is normally pulled to a logic low. However, supply current will vary as the voltage between the V + supply and EN is varied. As seen in Figure 1, +IS does vary with (V + – VEN), particularly when the voltage EN difference is less than 3V. For normal operation, it is VS = ±5V RF = 324Ω RL = 100Ω 1398/99 F03 important to keep the EN pin at least 3V below the V + VIN = 1V RG = 324Ω supply.
