In this circuit closed loop gain, (AV) = V OUT/ VIN = R F/RG. For all the applications in this data sheet VIN is presumed to be the voltage presented to the circuit by the signal source. For differential signals this will be the difference of the signals on each input (which will be double the magnitude of each individual signal), while in single ended inputs it will just be the driven input signal. The resistors RO help keep the amplifier stable when presented with a load CL as is typical in an analog to digital converter (ADC). When fed with a differential signal, the LMH6551Q provides excellent distortion, balance and common mode rejection provided the resistors RF, RG and RO are well matched and strict symmetry is observed in board layout. With a DC CMRR of over 80dB, the DC and low frequency CMRR of most circuits will be dominated by the external resistors and board trace resistance. At higher frequencies board layout symmetry becomes a factor as well. Precision resistors of at least 0.1% accuracy are recommended and careful board layout will also be required. The LMH6551Q is a fully differential amplifier designed to provide low distortion amplification to wide bandwidth differential signals. The LMH6551Q, though fully integrated for ultimate balance and distortion performance, functionally provides three channels. Two of these channels are the V+ and V− signal path channels, which function similarly to inverting mode operational amplifiers and are the primary signal paths. The third channel is the common mode feedback circuit. This is the circuit that sets the output common mode as well as driving the V+ and V− outputs to be equal magnitude and opposite phase, even when only one of the two input channels is driven. The common mode feedback circuit allows single ended to differential operation. The LMH6551Q is a voltage feedback amplifier with gain set by external resistors. Output common mode voltage is set by the VCM pin. This pin should be driven by a low impedance reference and should be bypassed to ground with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. Any signal coupling into the VCM will be passed along to the output and will reduce the dynamic range of the amplifier. FULLY DIFFERENTIAL OPERATION The LMH6551Q will perform best when used with split supplies and in a fully differential configuration. See Figure 1 and Figure 3 for recommend circuits. 30157902 FIGURE 2. Fully Differential Cable Driver 30157904 FIGURE 1. Typical Application 11 www.ti.com LMH6551Q With up to 15 VPP differential output voltage swing and 80 mA of linear drive current the LMH6551Q makes an excellent cable driver as shown in Figure 2. The LMH6551Q is also suitable for driving differential cables from a single ended source. 30157912 FIGURE 5. Single Supply Bypassing Capacitors The LMH6551Q requires supply bypassing capacitors as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5. The 0.01 µF and 0.1 µF capacitors should be leadless SMT ceramic capacitors and should be no more than 3 mm from the supply pins. The SMT capacitors should be connected directly to a ground plane. Thin traces or small vias will reduce the effectiveness of bypass capacitors. Also shown in both figures is a capacitor from the VCM pin to ground. The VCM pin is a high impedance input to a buffer which sets the output common mode voltage. Any noise on this input is transferred directly to the output. Output common mode noise will result in loss of dynamic range, degraded CMRR, degraded Balance and higher distortion. The VCM pin should be bypassed even if the pin in not used. There is an internal resistive divider on chip to set the output common mode voltage to the mid point of the supply pins. The impedance looking into this pin is approximately 25kΩ. If a different output common mode voltage is desired drive this pin with a clean, accurate voltage reference. 30157910 FIGURE 3. Single Ended in Differential Out 30157901 FIGURE 4. Split Supply Bypassing Capacitors www.ti.com 12 LMH6551Q SINGLE ENDED INPUT TO DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT The LMH6551Q provides excellent performance as an active balun transformer. Figure 3 shows a typical application where an LMH6551Q is used to produce a differential signal from a single ended source. In single ended input operation the output common mode voltage is set by the VCM pin as in fully differential mode. In this mode the common mode feedback circuit must also, recreate the signal that is not present on the unused differential input pin. The performance chart titled “Balance Error” is the measurement of the effectiveness of the amplifier as a transformer. The common mode feedback circuit is responsible for ensuring balanced output with a single ended input. Balance error is defined as the amount of input signal that couples into the output common mode. It is measured as a the undesired output common mode swing divided by the signal on the input. Balance error when the amplifier is driven with a differential signal is nearly unmeasurable if the resistors and board are well matched. Balance error can be caused by either a channel to channel gain error, or phase error. Either condition will produce a common mode shift. The chart titled “Balance Error” measures the balance error with a single ended input as that is the most demanding mode of operation for the amplifier. Supply and V CM pin bypassing is also critical in this mode of operation. See the above section on FULLY DIFFERENTIAL OPERATION for bypassing recommendations. 30157909 FIGURE 7. AC Coupled for Single Supply Operation DRIVING ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTERS Analog to digital converters (ADC) present challenging load conditions. They typically have high impedance inputs with large and often variable capacitive components. As well, there are usually current spikes associated with switched capacitor or sample and hold circuits. Figure 8 shows a typical circuit for driving an ADC. The two 56Ω resistors serve to isolate the capacitive loading of the ADC from the amplifier and ensure stability. In addition, the resistors form part of a low pass filter which helps to provide anti alias and noise reduction functions. The two 39 pF capacitors help to smooth the current spikes associated with the internal switching circuits of the ADC and also are a key component in the low pass filtering of the ADC input. In the circuit of Figure 8 the cutoff frequency of the filter is 1/ (2*π*56Ω *(39 pF + 14pF)) = 53MHz (which is slightly less than the sampling frequency). Note that the ADC input capacitance must be factored into the frequency response of the input filter, and that being a differential input the effective input capacitance is double. Also as shown in Figure 8 the input capacitance to many ADCs is variable based on the clock cycle. See the data sheet for your particular ADC for details. SINGLE SUPPLY OPERATION The input stage of the LMH6551Q has a built in offset of 0.7V towards the lower supply to accommodate single supply operation with single ended inputs. As shown in Figure 6, the input common mode voltage is less than the output common voltage. It is set by current flowing through the feedback network from the device output. The input common mode range of 0.4V to 3.2V places constraints on gain settings. Possible solutions to this limitation include AC coupling the input signal, using split power supplies and limiting stage gain. AC coupling with single supply is shown in Figure 7. In Figure 6 closed loop gain = VO / VI = RF / 2RG. Note that in single ended to differential operation VI is measured single ended while VO is measured differentially. This means that gain is really 1/2 or 6 dB less when measured on either of the output pins separately. Additionally, note that the input signal at RT is 1/2 of VI when RT is chosen to match RS to RIN. VICM= Input common mode voltage = (V+IN+V−IN)/2. 30157911 FIGURE 6. Relating Gain to Input / Output Common Mode Voltages 13 www.ti.com LMH6551Q USING TRANSFORMERS Transformers are useful for impedance transformation as well as for single to differential, and differential to single ended conversion. A transformer can be used to step up the output voltage of the amplifier to drive very high impedance loads as shown in Figure 9. Figure 11 shows the opposite case where the output voltage is stepped down to drive a low impedance load. Transformers have limitations that must be considered before choosing to use one. Compared to a differential amplifier, the most serious limitations of a transformer are the inability to pass DC and balance error (which causes distortion and gain errors). For most applications the LMH6551Q will have adequate output swing and drive current and a transformer will not be desirable. Transformers are used primarily to interface differential circuits to 50Ω single ended test equipment to simplify diagnostic testing. 30157905 FIGURE 8. Driving an ADC The amplifier and ADC should be located as closely together as possible. Both devices require that the filter components be in close proximity to them. The amplifier needs to have minimal parasitic loading on the output traces and the ADC is sensitive to high frequency noise that may couple in on its input lines. Some high performance ADCs have an input stage that has a bandwidth of several times its sample rate. The sampling process results in all input signals presented to the input stage mixing down into the Nyquist range (DC to Fs/ 2). See AN-236 for more details on the subsampling process and the requirements this imposes on the filtering necessary in your system. 30157907 FIGURE 9. Transformer Out High Impedance Load 30157932 FIGURE 10. Calculating Transformer Circuit Net Gain www.ti.com 14 Calculate the RMS power dissipated in each of the output stages: PD (rms) = rms ((VS - V+OUT) * I+OUT) + rms ((VS − V−OUT) * I−OUT) , where VOUT and IOUT are the voltage and the current measured at the output pins of the differential amplifier as if they were single ended amplifiers and VS is the total supply voltage. 3. Calculate the total RMS power: PT = PAMP + PD. The maximum power that the LMH6551Q package can dissipate at a given temperature can be derived with the following equation: PMAX = (150° – TAMB)/ θJA, where TAMB = Ambient temperature (°C) and θJA = Thermal resistance, from junction to ambient, for a given package (°C/W). θJA is 159 °C/W for the MSOP-8 package. NOTE: If VCM is not 0V then there will be quiescent current flowing in the feedback network. This current should be included in the thermal calculations and added into the quiescent power dissipation of the amplifier. Figure 13 shows the maximum power dissipation vs. ambient temperature for the MSOP-8 package when mounted on a 4 layer JEDEC board. 30157906 FIGURE 11.

Driving 50Ω Test Equipment CAPACITIVE DRIVE As noted in the Driving ADC section, capacitive loads should be isolated from the amplifier output with small valued resistors. This is particularly the case when the load has a resistive component that is 500Ω or higher. A typical ADC has capacitive components of around 10 pF and the resistive component could be 1000Ω or higher. If driving a transmission line, such as 50Ω coaxial or 100Ω twisted pair, using matching resistors will be sufficient to isolate any subsequent capacitance. For other applications see the “Suggested Rout vs. Cap Load” charts in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 TA (°C) 301579100 FIGURE 13. Maximum Power Dissipation vs. Ambient Temperature At high ambient temperatures, the LMH6551Q's quiescent power dissipation approaches the maximum power shown in Figure 13, when operated close to the maximum operating supply voltage of 11V. This leaves little room for additional load power dissipation. In such applications, any of the following steps can be taken to alleviate any junction temperature concerns: • Reduce the total supply voltage • Reduce θJA by increasing heatsinking possibly by either increasing the PC board area devoted to heatsinking or forced air cooling or both • Reduce maximum ambient temperature POWER DISSIPATION The LMH6551Q is optimized for maximum speed and performance in the small form factor of the standard MSOP package, and is essentially a dual channel amplifier. To ensure maximum output drive and highest performance, thermal shutdown is not provided. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to make sure that the TJMAXof 150°C is never exceeded due to the overall power dissipation. Follow these steps to determine the Maximum power dissipation for the LMH6551Q: 1. Calculate the quiescent (no-load) power: PAMP = ICC* (VS), where VS = V+ - V−. (Be sure to include any current through the feedback network if VOCM is not mid rail.) ESD PROTECTION The LMH6551Q is protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD) on all pins. The LMH6551Q will survive 2000V Human Body model and 200V Machine model events. Under normal operation the ESD diodes have no effect on circuit performance. There are occasions, however, when the ESD diodes will be evident. If the LMH6551Q is driven by a large signal while the device is powered down the ESD diodes will conduct . The current that flows through the ESD diodes will either exit the chip through the supply pins or will flow through the 15 www.ti.com LMH6551Q 2. LMH6551Q device, hence it is possible to power up a chip with a large signal applied to the input pins. Using the shutdown mode is one way to conserve power and still prevent unexpected operation. EVALUATION BOARD National Semiconductor offers evaluation board(s) to aid in device testing and characterization and as a guide for proper layout. Generally, a good high frequency layout will keep power supply and ground traces away from the inverting input and output pins. Parasitic capacitances on these nodes to ground will cause frequency response peaking and possible circuit oscillations (see Application Note OA-15 for more information). BOARD LAYOUT The LMH6551Q is a very high performance amplifier. In order to get maximum benefit from the differential circuit architecture board layout and component selection is very critical. The circuit board should have low a inductance ground plane and well bypassed broad supply lines. External components should be leadless surface mount types. The feedback network and output matching resistors should be composed of short traces and precision resistors (0.1%). The output matching resistors should be placed within 3-4 mm of the amplifier as should the supply bypass capacitors. The LMH730154 evaluation board is an example of good layout techniques. The LMH6551Q is sensitive to parasitic capacitances on the amplifier inputs and to a lesser extent on the outputs as well. Ground and power plane metal should be removed from beneath the amplifier and from beneath RF and RG. With any differential signal path symmetry is very important.
