They are typically configured as a differential driver enabling an output signal of 40 V p-p on 15 V supplies.

The low harmonic distortion of -66 dB @ 1 MHz into 200 combined with the wide bandwidth and high current drive make the differential driver ideal for communication applications such as subscriber line interfaces for ADSL, HDSL and VDSL. The AD815 differential slew rate of 900 V/s and high load drive are suitable for fast dynamic control of coils or transformers, and the video performance of 0.05% and 0.45 differential gain and phase into a load of 25 enable up to 12 back-terminated loads to be driven. Three package styles are available, and all work over the industrial temperature range (-40C to +85C). Maximum output power is achieved with the power package available for through-hole mounting (Y) and surface-mounting (VR). The 24-lead SOIC (RB) is capable of driving 26 dBm for full rate ADSL with proper heat sinking. +15V -60 1/2 AD815 100V -70 -80 AMP1 RL = 50V (DIFFERENTIAL) 499V RL = 200V (DIFFERENTIAL) -90 VIN = 4Vp-p 110V G = +10 RL 120V VD = 40Vp-p VOUT = 40Vp-p 499V -100 -110 100 R1 = 15V 100V 1k 10k 100k FREQUENCY - Hz 1M 1/2 AD815 10M Total Harmonic Distortion vs. Frequency R2 = 15V AMP2 1:2 TRANSFORMER -15V Subscriber Line Differential Driver REV.

The maximum safe junction temperature for the plastic encapsulated parts is determined by the glass transition temperature of the plastic, about 150C. Exceeding this limit temporarily may cause a shift in parametric performance due to a change in the stresses exerted on the die by the package. Exceeding a junction temperature of 175C for an extended period can result in device failure. The AD815 has thermal shutdown protection, which guarantees that the maximum junction temperature of the die remains below a safe level, even when the output is shorted to ground. Shorting the output to either power supply will result in device failure. To ensure proper operation, it is important to observe the derating curves and refer to the section on power considerations. NOTES 1 Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. 2 Specification is for device in free air with 0 ft/min air flow: 15-Lead Through-Hole and Surface Mount: JA = 41C/W; 24-Lead Surface Mount: JA = 52C/W. It must also be noted that in high (noninverting) gain configurations (with low values of gain resistor), a high level of input overdrive can result in a large input error current, which may result in a significant power dissipation in the input stage. This power must be included when computing the junction temperature rise due to total internal power.

It therefore is recommended that once optimum resistor values have been determined, 1% tolerance values should be used if it is desired to maintain flatness over a wide range of production lots. Table I shows optimum values for several useful configurations. These should be used as starting point in any application. G = -1 RF = 562V RL = 100V SIDE B Table I. Resistor Values 1V 20ns G= Figure 39. 4 V Step Response, G = -1 THEORY OF OPERATION The AD815 is a dual current feedback amplifier with high (500 mA) output current capability. Being a current feedback amplifier, the AD815's open-loop behavior is expressed as transimpedance, VO/I-IN , or TZ . The open-loop transimpedance behaves just as the open-loop voltage gain of a voltage feedback amplifier, that is, it has a large dc value and decreases at roughly 6 dB/octave in frequency. 562 499 499 499 1k 499 499 125 110 As to be expected for a wideband amplifier, PC board parasitics can affect the overall closed-loop performance. Of concern are stray capacitances at the output and the inverting input nodes. If a ground plane is to be used on the same side of the board as the signal traces, a space (5 mm min) should be left around the signal lines to minimize coupling. T Z (S ) VO =Gx VIN T Z (S ) + G x RIN + RF POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING Adequate power supply bypassing can be critical when optimizing the performance of a high frequency circuit. Inductance in the power supply leads can form resonant circuits that produce peaking in the amplifier's response. In addition, if large current transients must be delivered to the load, then bypass capacitors (typically greater than 1 F) will be required to provide the best settling time and lowest distortion. A parallel combination of 10.0 F and 0.1 F is recommended. Under some low frequency applications, a bypass capacitance of greater than 10 F may be necessary. Due to the large load currents delivered by the AD815, special consideration must be given to careful bypassing. The ground returns on both supply bypass capacitors as well as signal common must be "star" connected as shown in Figure 41. where: RF RG R IN = 1/gM 25 G = 1+ RF RG RIN RG () PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS Since RIN is proportional to 1/gM, the equivalent voltage gain is just TZ x gM , where the gM in question is the transconductance of the input stage. Using this amplifier as a follower with gain, Figure 40, basic analysis yields the following result: RN +1 -1 +2 +5 +10 RF () VOUT +VS VIN +IN Figure 40. Current Feedback Amplifier Operation RF Recognizing that G x RIN << RF for low gains, it can be seen to the first order that bandwidth for this amplifier is independent of gain (G). RG (OPTIONAL) +OUT RF -OUT Considering that additional poles contribute excess phase at high frequencies, there is a minimum feedback resistance below which peaking or oscillation may result. This fact is used to determine the optimum feedback resistance, RF. In practice parasitic capacitance at the inverting input terminal will also add phase in the feedback loop, so picking an optimum value for RF can be difficult. -IN -VS Figure 41. Signal Ground Connected in "Star" Configuration Achieving and maintaining gain flatness of better than 0.1 dB at frequencies above 10 MHz requires careful consideration of several issues. -10- REV. B AD815 There are three major noise and offset terms to consider in a current feedback amplifier. For offset errors refer to the equation below. For noise error the terms are root-sum-squared to give a net output error. In the circuit below (Figure 42), they are input offset (VIO) which appears at the output multiplied by the noise gain of the circuit (1 + RF/RG), noninverting input current (IBN x RN) also multiplied by the noise gain, and the inverting input current, which when divided between RF and R G and subsequently multiplied by the noise gain always appear at the output as IBI x RF. The input voltage noise of the AD815 is less than 2 nV/Hz. At low gains though, the inverting input current noise times RF is the dominant noise source. Careful layout and device matching contribute to better offset and drift specifications for the AD815 compared to many other current feedback amplifiers. The typical performance curves in conjunction with the equations below can be used to predict the performance of the AD815 in any application. Figure 44 gives the relationship between output voltage swing into various loads and the power dissipated by the AD815 (PIN). This data is given for both sine wave and square wave (worst case) conditions. It should be noted that these graphs are for mostly resistive (phase < 10) loads. When the power dissipation requirements are known, Equation 1 and the graph on Figure 45 can be used to choose an appropriate heat sinking configuration.

This data pertains to copper pads on both sides of G10 epoxy glass board connected together with a grid of feedthroughs on 5 mm centers. VOUT Figure 42. Output Offset Voltage POWER CONSIDERATIONS The 500 mA drive capability of the AD815 enables it to drive a 50 load at 40 V p-p when it is configured as a differential driver. This implies a power dissipation, PIN, of nearly 5 watts. To ensure reliability, the junction temperature of the AD815 should be maintained at less than 175C. For this reason, the AD815 will require some form of heat sinking in most applications. The thermal diagram of Figure 43 gives the basic relationship between junction temperature (TJ) and various components of JA. TJ = TA + PIN JA This data shows that loads of 100 ohms or less will usually not require any more than this. This is a feature of the AD815's 15-lead power SIP package. An important component of JA is the thermal resistance of the package to heatsink. The data given is for a direct soldered connection of package to copper pad. The use of heatsink grease either with or without an insulating washer will increase this number. Several options now exist for dry thermal connections. These are available from Bergquist as part # SP600-90. Consult with the manufacturer of these products for details of their application.

Power Package Thermal Resistance vs. Heat Sink Area Figure 43. A Breakdown of Various Package Thermal Resistances REV. B 25 -11- AD815 Other Power Considerations There are additional power considerations applicable to the AD815. First, as with many current feedback amplifiers, there is an increase in supply current when delivering a large peak-to-peak voltage to a resistive load at high frequencies. This behavior is affected by the load present at the amplifier's output. Figure 12 summarizes the full power response capabilities of the AD815. These curves apply to the differential driver applications (e.g., Figure 49 or Figure 53). In Figure 12, maximum continuous peak-to-peak output voltage is plotted vs. frequency for various resistive loads. Exceeding this value on a continuous basis can damage the AD815. The AD815 is equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit. This circuit ensures that the temperature of the AD815 die remains below a safe level. In normal operation, the circuit shuts down the AD815 at approximately 180C and allows the circuit to turn back on at approximately 140C. This built-in hysteresis means that a sustained thermal overload will cycle between power-on and power-off conditions. The thermal cycling typically occurs at a rate of 1 ms to several seconds, depending on the power dissipation and the thermal time constants of the package and heat sinking. Figures 46 and 47 illustrate the thermal shutdown operation after driving OUT1 to the + rail, and OUT2 to the - rail, and then short-circuiting to ground each output of the AD815. The AD815 will not be damaged by momentary operation in this state, but the overload condition should be removed. resistor should be placed in series with each output. See Figure 48. This circuit can deliver 800 mA into loads of up to 12.5 . 499V 499V +15V 0.1mF 5 100V 10mF 8 1V 1/2 AD815 6 4 50V 499V 499V RL 10 100V 1V 1/2 AD815 11 9 7 0.1mF 10mF -15V Figure 48. Parallel Operation for High Current Output Differential Operation Various circuit configurations can be used for differential operation of the AD815. If a differential drive signal is available, the two halves can be used in a classic instrumentation configuration to provide a circuit with differential input and output. The circuit in Figure 49 is an illustration of this. With the resistors shown, the gain of the circuit is 11. The gain can be changed by changing the value of RG. This circuit, however, provides no common-mode rejection. OUT 1 +15V 100 90 +IN 0.1mF 100V 4 OUT 2 8 1/2 AD815 5 VIN 200ms 5V Figure 46.

OUT1 Shorted to Ground, Square Wave Is OUT2, RF = 1 k, R G = 222 Parallel Operation To increase the drive current to a load, both of the amplifiers within the AD815 can be connected in parallel. Each amplifier should be set for the same gain and driven with the same signal. In order to ensure that the two amplifiers share current, a small One circuit to perform this is to use a dual op amp as a predriver that is configured as a noninverter and inverter. The circuit shown in Figure 50 performs this function. It uses an AD826 dual op amp with the gain of one amplifier set at +1 and the gain of the other at -1. The 1 k resistor across the input terminals of the follower makes the noise gain (NG = 1) equal to the inverter's. The two outputs then differentially drive the inputs to the AD815 with no common-mode signal to first order. -12- REV.

Differential Driver with Transformer Input Direct Single-Ended-to-Differential Conversion Two types of circuits can create a differential output signal from a single-ended input without the use of any other components than resistors. The first of these is illustrated in Figure 52. REV. B This circuit can work at various gains with proper resistor selection. But in general, in order to change the gain of the circuit, at least two resistor values will have to be changed. In addition, the noise gain of the two op amps in this configuration will always be different by one, so the bandwidths will not match. Each of the AD815's op amps is configured as a unity gain follower by the feedback resistors (RA). Each op amp output also drives the other as a unity gain inverter via the two RB s, creating a totally symmetrical circuit. 7 0.1mF When the + input of Amp 1 is driven with a signal, the same signal appears at the - input of Amp 1. This signal serves as an input to Amp 2 configured for a gain of -5, (-RF2/R G). Thus the two outputs move in opposite directions with the same gain and create a balanced differential signal. A second circuit that has none of the disadvantages mentioned in the above circuit creates a differential output voltage feedback op amp out of the pair of current feedback op amps in the AD815. This circuit, drawn in Figure 53, can be used as a high power differential line driver, such as required for ADSL (asymmetrical digital subscriber loop) line driving. 10mF 8 1/2 AD815 9 7 Amp 1 has its + input driven with the input signal, while the + input of Amp 2 is grounded. Thus the - input of Amp 2 is driven to virtual ground potential by its output. Therefore Amp 1 is configured for a noninverting gain of five, (1 + RF1/RG), because RG is connected to the virtual ground of Amp 2's - input. One advantage of using a transformer is its ability to provide isolation between circuit sections and to provide good commonmode rejection. The disadvantages are that transformers have no dc response and can sometimes be large, heavy, and expensive. This circuit is shown in Figure 51. 50V 1/2 AD815 Figure 52. Direct Single-Ended-to-Differential Conversion Another means for creating a differential signal from a singleended signal is to use a transformer with a center-tapped secondary. The center tap of the transformer is grounded and the two secondary windings are connected to obtain opposite polarity signals to the two inputs of the AD815 amplifiers. The bias currents for the AD815 inputs are provided by the center tap ground connection through the transformer windings. 0.1mF RF2 499V -15V Figure 50.

This is similar to the way a conventional op amp behaves without any feedback. -13- AD815 ~20pF Twelve Channel Video Distribution Amplifier RF 499V The high current of the AD815 enables it to drive up to twelve standard 75 reverse terminated video loads.

Each amplifier is configured for a gain of two to compensate for the divide-by-two feature of each cable termination. Six separate 75 resistors for each amplifier output are used for the cable back termination. In this manner, all cables are relatively independent of each other and small disturbances on any cable will not have an effect on the other cables.

Single-Ended-to-Differential Driver 499V If a resistor (RF) is connected from the output of Amp 2 to the + input of Amp 1, negative feedback is provided which closes the loop. An input resistor (RI) will make the circuit look like a conventional inverting op amp configuration with differential outputs. The inverting input to this dual output op amp becomes Pin 4, the positive input of Amp 1. 5 8 6 100V 4 12 3 VIDEO OUT TO 75V CABLES AD815 VIDEO IN 75V 100V The gain of this circuit from input to either output will be RF/ RI.

If each output can swing 10 V, the effective swing on the transformer primary is 40 V p-p. The optional capacitor can be added to prevent any dc current in the transformer due to dc offsets at the output of the AD815. 499V 7 499V 10mF 0.1mF -15V Figure 54.
