AD AD8134 Triple differential driver with sync-on-common-mode Datasheet

Triple Differential Driver
With Sync-On-Common-Mode
AD8134
Keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) networking
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8134 is a major advancement beyond using discrete
op amps for driving differential RGB signals over twisted pair
cable. The AD8134 is a triple, low cost differential or singleended input to differential output driver, and each amplifier has
a fixed gain of 2 to compensate for the attenuation of the line
termination resistors. The AD8134 is specifically designed for
RGB signals but can be used for any type of analog signals or
high speed data transmission. The AD8134 is capable of driving
either Category 5 (Cat-5) unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable
or differential printed circuit board transmission lines with
minimal signal degradation.
A unique feature that allows the user to transmit balanced
horizontal and vertical video sync signals over the three
common-mode channels with minimal electromagnetic
interference (EMI) radiation is included on-chip.
The outputs of the AD8134 can be set to a low voltage state that
allows easy differential multiplexing of multiple drivers on the
same twisted pair cable, when used with external series diodes.

The AD8134 driver is a natural complement to the AD8143,
AD8129, and AD8130 differential receivers.
Manufactured on the Analog Devices next generation XFCB
bipolar process, the AD8134 has a large signal bandwidth of
225 MHz and a slew rate of 1600 V/μs. The AD8134 has an
internal common-mode feedback feature that provides output
gain and phase matching that is balanced to −60 dB at 50 MHz,
suppressing harmonics and reducing radiated EMI.
The AD8134 is available in a 24-lead LFCSP and can operate
over the −40°C to +85°C extended industrial temperature range.

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.

Maximum Power Dissipation
The maximum safe power dissipation in the AD8134 package is
limited by the associated rise in junction temperature (TJ) on
the die. At approximately 150°C, which is the glass transition
temperature, the plastic changes its properties. Even temporarily
exceeding this temperature limit can change the stresses that the
package exerts on the die, permanently shifting the parametric
performance of the AD8134. Exceeding a junction temperature
of 175°C for an extended period can result in changes in the
silicon devices potentially causing failure.

θJA

Airflow reduces θJA. In addition, more metal directly in contact
with the package leads from metal traces, through holes,
ground, and power planes reduce the θJA. The exposed pad on
the underside of the package must be soldered to a pad on the
PCB surface that is thermally connected to a PCB plane to
achieve the specified θJA.
Figure 3 shows the maximum safe power dissipation in the
package vs. the ambient temperature for the 24-lead LFCSP
(70°C/W) on a JEDEC standard 4-layer board with the
underside paddle soldered to a pad that is thermally connected
to a PCB plane. θJA values are approximations.
θJA is specified for the worst-case conditions, that is, θJA is
specified for the device soldered in a circuit board in still air.
Package Type/PCB Type
24-Lead LFCSP/4-Layer
The power dissipated in the package (PD) is the sum of the
quiescent power dissipation and the power dissipated in the
package due to the load drive for all outputs. The quiescent
power is the voltage between the supply pins (VS) times the
quiescent current (IS). The load current consists of differential
and common-mode currents flowing to the loads, as well as
currents flowing through the internal differential and commonmode feedback loops. The internal resistor tap used in the
common-mode feedback loop places a 4 kΩ differential load on
the output. RMS output voltages should be considered when
dealing with ac signals.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Previous differential drivers, both discrete and integrated
designs, are based on using two independent amplifiers and two
independent feedback loops, one to control each of the outputs.
When these circuits are driven from a single-ended source, the
resulting outputs are typically not well balanced. Achieving a
balanced output has typically required exceptional matching of
the amplifiers and feedback networks.
DC common-mode level-shifting has also been difficult with
previous differential drivers. Level-shifting has required the use
of a third amplifier and feedback loop to control the output
common-mode level. Sometimes, the third amplifier has also
been used to attempt to correct an inherently unbalanced
circuit. Excellent performance over a wide frequency range has
proven difficult with this approach.
Each of the AD8134 drivers uses two feedback loops to
separately control the differential and common-mode output
voltages. The differential feedback, set by the internal resistors,
controls the differential output voltage only. The internal
common-mode feedback loop controls the common-mode
output voltage only. This architecture makes it easy to
arbitrarily set the output common-mode level by simply
applying a voltage to the VOCM input. The output commonmode voltage is forced, by internal common-mode feedback, to
equal the voltage applied to the VOCM input, without affecting the
differential output voltage. The VOCM inputs are not available to
the user but are internally connected to the sync-on-commonmode circuitry.
The AD8134 architecture results in outputs that are highly
balanced over a wide frequency range without requiring
external components or adjustments. The common-mode
feedback loop forces the signal component of the output
common-mode voltage to be zeroed. The result is nearly
perfectly balanced differential outputs of identical amplitude
that are exactly 180° apart in phase.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Common-mode voltage refers to the average of two node
voltages with respect to a common reference. The output
common-mode voltage is defined as
VOUT , cm =
(VOP + VON )
2
Output Balance
Output balance is a measure of how well the differential output
signals are matched in amplitude and how close they are to
exactly 180° apart in phase. Balance is easily determined by
placing a well-matched resistor divider between the differential
output voltage nodes and comparing the magnitude of the
signal at the divider’s midpoint with the magnitude of the
differential signal. By this definition, output balance error is the
magnitude of the change in output common-mode voltage
divided by the magnitude of the change in output differentialmode voltage in response to a differential input signal
Output Balance Error =
ΔVOUT , cm
ΔVOUT , dm
ANALYZING AN APPLICATION CIRCUIT
The AD8134 uses high open-loop gain and negative feedback
to force its differential and common-mode output voltages to
minimize the differential and common-mode input error
voltages. The differential input error voltage is defined as the
voltage between the differential inputs labeled VAP and VAN in
Figure 30. For most purposes, this voltage can be assumed to be
zero. Similarly, the difference between the actual output
common-mode voltage and the voltage applied to VOCM can also
be assumed to be zero. Starting from these two assumptions,
any application circuit can be analyzed.

Each differential driver in the AD8134 differs from a
conventional op amp in that it has two outputs whose voltages
move in opposite directions. Like an op amp, it relies on high
open-loop gain and negative feedback to force these outputs to
the desired voltages. The AD8134 drivers make it easy to
perform single-ended-to-differential conversion, commonmode level-shifting, and amplification of differential signals.
AD8134
CALCULATING AN APPLICATION CIRCUIT’S INPUT
IMPEDANCE
The effective input impedance of a circuit such as that in
Figure 30 at VIP and VIN depends on whether the amplifier is
being driven by a single-ended or differential signal source. For
balanced differential input signals, the differential input
impedance, RIN, dm, between the inputs VIP and VIN is simply
A purely capacitive load can react with the output impedance
of the AD8134 to reduce phase margin, resulting in high
frequency ringing in the pulse response. The best way to
minimize this effect is to place a small resistor in series with
each of the amplifier’s outputs to buffer the load capacitance.
OUTPUT PULL-DOWN (OPD)
RIN,dm = 2 × RG = 1.5 kΩ
In the case of a single-ended input signal (for example, if VIN is
grounded and the input signal is applied to VIP), the input
impedance becomes

The circuit’s input impedance is effectively higher than it would
be for a conventional op amp connected as an inverter because
a fraction of the differential output voltage appears at the inputs
as a common-mode signal, partially bootstrapping the voltage
across the input resistor RG.
The AD8134 has an OPD pin that when pulled high
significantly reduces the power consumed while simultaneously
pulling the outputs to within less than 1 V of VS− when used
with series diodes (see the Applications section). The equivalent
schematic of the output in the output pull-down state is shown
in Figure 31. (The ESD diodes shown in Figure 31 are for ESD
protection and are distinct from the series diodes used with the
output pull-down feature.) See Figure 18 and Figure 24 for the
output pull-down transient and isolation performance. The
threshold levels for the OPD input pin are referenced to the
positive power supply and are listed in the Specifications tables.
When the OPD pin is pulled high, the AD8134 enters the
output pull-down state.

The inputs of the AD8134 are designed to facilitate levelshifting of ground referenced input signals on a single power

that the voltage at VIN in Figure 30 would be 0 V when the
amplifier’s negative power supply voltage was also set to 0 V.

It is important to ensure that the common-mode voltage at the

can be expressed as a single term, VACM. VACM can be calculated as

AD8134
SYNC-ON-COMMON-MODE
On a single 5 V supply, the sync-on-common-mode circuit can
be used by directly applying the HSYNC and VSYNC signals to the
respective AD8134 inputs. The logic thresholds of the HSYNC and
VSYNC inputs are nominally set at (VS+ − VS−)/4, using a resistor
divider with an impedance of approximately 200 kΩ. This
allows the inputs to be driven beyond the rails without logic
inversion and maintains fast switching speeds. The robustness
of the HSYNC and VSYNC inputs therefore allows them to be driven
directly off the output of a computer video card without concern of
overdriving the inputs. The input path from HSYNC and VSYNC
inputs to the switches in the current mode level-shifting circuit
are well matched to eliminate false switching transients. This
maximizes common-mode balance and minimizes radiated
energy.
The AD8134 drives RGB video signals over UTP cable. The
balance of the differential outputs is trimmed to ensure low
radiated energy from each of the twisted pairs. The commonmode outputs of each of the R, G, and B differential outputs
are set using the circuit in Figure 32. This circuit embeds the
horizontal and vertical sync pulses on the three common-mode
outputs in a way that also results in low radiated energy. For a
more detailed description of the sync scheme, see the
Applications section.
The sync-on-common-mode circuit generates a current based
on the SYNC LEVEL input pin (Pin 18). With SYNC LEVEL
input tied to VS−, the common-mode output of all drivers is set
at (VS+ + VS−)/2. Using a resistor divider, a voltage can be
applied between VS− and SYNC LEVEL that determines the
maximum deviation of the common-mode outputs from their
midsupply level. If, for instance, SYNC LEVEL − VS− = 0.5 V
and the supply voltage is 5 V, then the common-mode outputs
fall within an envelope of 2.5 V ± 0.5 V. The state of each VOUT, cm
output based on the HSYNC and VSYNC inputs is determined by
the equations defined in the Applications section.
The sync-on-common-mode circuit can be used with ±5 V
supplies, but in this case, the HSYNC and VSYNC logic signals
require level-shifting. Level-shifting details are provided in the
Applications section.

APPLICATIONS
DRIVING RGB VIDEO OVER CAT-5 CABLE
The AD8134 is a device whose foremost application is driving
RGB video signals over UTP cable in KVM networks. Singleended video signals are easily converted to differential signals
for transmission over the cable, and the internally fixed gain of
2 automatically compensates for the losses incurred by the
source and load terminations. The AD8134 can be used in all of
the typical KVM network topologies, including daisy-chained,
star, and point-to-point. Figure 33 shows the AD8134 in a
triple, single-ended-to-differential application in a daisychained network when driven from a 75 Ω video source.

AD8134
HOW TO APPLY THE OUTPUT PULL-DOWN
FEATURE
The output pull-down feature, when used in conjunction with
series Schottky diodes, offers a convenient means to connect a
number of transmitters together to form a video network. The
OPD pin is a binary input that controls the state of the AD8134
outputs. Its binary input level is referenced to the most positive
power supply (see the Specifications section for the logic levels).
When the OPD input is driven to its low state, the AD8134
output is enabled and operates in its normal fashion. In this
state, the sync-on-common-mode circuitry provides a
midsupply voltage and encoded sync pulses on the output
common-mode voltage. The midsupply voltage is used to
forward bias the series diodes, allowing the AD8134 to transmit
signals over the network. When the OPD input is driven to its
high state the outputs of the AD8134 are forced to a low voltage
irrespective of the levels on the sync inputs. This reverse-biases
the series diodes and presents a high impedance to the network.
This feature allows a three-state output to be realized that maintains
its high impedance state even when the AD8134 is not powered.
This condition can occur in KVM networks where the AD8134s do
not all reside in the same module, and where some modules in the
network are not powered.
It is recommended that the output pull-down feature only be
used in conjunction with series diodes in such a way as to
ensure that the diodes are reverse-biased when the output pulldown feature is asserted because some loading conditions can
prevent the output voltage from being pulled all the way down.
KVM NETWORKS
In daisy-chained KVM networks, the drivers are distributed along
one cable and a triple receiver is located at one end. Schottky
diodes in series with the driver outputs are biased such that the one
driver that is transmitting video signals has its diodes forwardbiased and the disabled drivers have their diodes reverse-biased.
The output common-mode voltage, set by the sync-on-commonmode circuitry, supplies the forward-biased voltage. When the
output pull-down feature is asserted, the differential outputs are
pulled to a low voltage, reverse-biasing the diodes.
In star networks, all cables radiate out from a central hub, which
contains a triple receiver. The series diodes are all located at the
receiver in the star network. Only one ray of the star is
transmitting at a given time, and all others are isolated by
reverse-biased diodes. Diode biasing is controlled in the same
way as in the daisy-chained network.
In the daisy-chained and star networks that use diodes for
isolation, return paths are required for the common-mode
currents that flow through the series diodes. A common-mode
tap can be implemented at each receiver by splitting the 100 Ω
termination resistor into two 50 Ω resistors in series. The diode
currents are routed from the tap between the 50 Ω resistors
back to the respective transmitters over one of the wires of the
fourth twisted pair in the UTP cable. Series resistors in the
common-mode path are generally required to set the desired
diode current.
In point-to-point networks, there is one transmitter and one
receiver per cable, and the switching is generally implemented
with a crosspoint switch. In this case, there is no need to use
diodes or the output pull-down feature.
Diode and crosspoint switching are by no means the only type
of switching that can be used with the AD8134. Many other
types of mechanical, electromechanical, and electronic switches
can be used.
VIDEO SYNC-ON-COMMON-MODE
In computer video applications, the horizontal and vertical sync
signals are often separate from the video information
signals. For example, in typical computer monitor applications,
the red, green, and blue (RGB) color signals are transmitted
over separate cables, as are the vertical and horizontal sync
signals. When transmitting these types of video signals over
long distances on UTP cable, it is desirable to reduce the
required number of physical channels. One way to do this is to
encode the vertical and horizontal sync signals as weighted
sums and differences of the output common-mode signals. The
RGB color signals are each transmitted differentially over
separate physical channels. The fact that the differential and
common-mode signals are orthogonal allows the RGB color
and sync signals to be separated at the channel’s receiver.
Cat-5 cable contains four balanced twisted-pair physical
channels that can support both differential and common-mode
signals. Transmitting typical computer monitor video over this
cable can be accomplished by using three of the twisted pairs for
the RGB and sync signals and one wire of the fourth pair as a
return path for the Schottky diode bias currents. Each color is
transmitted differentially, one on each of the three pairs, and the
encoded sync signals are transmitted among the commonmode signals of each of the three pairs. To minimize EMI from
the sync signals, the common-mode signals on each of the three
pairs produced by the sync encoding scheme induce electric
and magnetic fields that for the most part cancel each other. A
conceptual block diagram of the sync encoding scheme is
presented in Figure 34. Since the AD8134 has the sync encoding
scheme implemented internally, the user simply applies the
horizontal and vertical sync signals to the appropriate inputs.
(See the Specifications tables for the definitions of the high and
low levels of the horizontal and vertical sync pulse voltages).

Figure 35. AD8134 Sync-On-Common-Mode Signals in Single 5 V Application
The transmitted common-mode sync signal magnitudes are
scaled by applying a dc voltage to the SYNC LEVEL input,
referenced to the negative supply. The difference between the
voltage applied to the SYNC LEVEL input and the negative
supply sets the peak deviation of the encoded sync signals about
the midsupply common-mode voltage. For example, with the
SYNC LEVEL input set at VS− + 500 mV, the deviation of the
encoded sync pulses about the nominal midsupply commonmode voltage is typically ±500 mV. The equations in Figure 34
describe how the VSYNC and HSYNC signals are encoded on each
color’s midsupply common-mode signal. In these equations, the
weights of the VSYNC and HSYNC signals are ±1 (+1 for high, −1
for low), and the constant K is equal to the peak deviation of the
encoded sync signals.

The vertical and horizontal sync pulses received from a
computer video port are generally referenced to ground. When
using ±5 V supplies, these pulses must be level-shifted before
being applied to the negative-supply referenced VSYNC and HSYNC
inputs because these inputs are referenced to the negative
supply. The circuit shown in Figure 36 provides the proper sync
pulse level-shifting for a negative supply voltage of −5 V. The
vertical and horizontal sync pulses each require a level-shift
circuit.
AD8134
LAYOUT AND POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
CONSIDERATIONS
EXPOSED PADDLE (EP)
Standard high speed PCB layout practices should be adhered to
when designing with the AD8134. A solid ground plane is
recommended and good wideband power supply decoupling
networks should be placed as close as possible to the supply
pins. Small surface-mount ceramic capacitors are recommended
for these networks, and tantalum capacitors are recommended
for bulk supply decoupling.
The 24-lead LFCSP package has an exposed paddle on the
underside of its body. To achieve the specified thermal resistance,
it must have a good thermal connection to one of the PCB planes.
The exposed paddle must be soldered to a pad on top of the
board that is connected to an inner plane with several thermal
vias.
AMPLIFIER-TO-AMPLIFIER ISOLATION
The least amount of isolation between the three amplifiers
exists between Amplifier R and Amplifier G. This is therefore
viewed as the worst-case isolation and is what is reflected in the
Specifications tables and Typical Performance Characteristics.
Refer to the basic test circuit in Figure 5 for test conditions.
