LT1886 Dual 700MHz, 200mA Operational Amplifier U DESCRIPTIO FEATURES ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ The LT®1886 is a 200mA minimum output current dual op amp with outstanding distortion performance. The amplifiers are gain-of-ten stable, but can be easily compensated for lower gains. The LT1886 features balanced, high impedance inputs with 4µA maximum input bias current, and 4mV maximum input offset voltage. Single supply applications are easy to implement and have lower total noise than current feedback amplifier implementations. 700MHz Gain Bandwidth ±200mA Minimum IOUT Low Distortion: –72dBc at 1MHz, 4VP-P, 25Ω, AV = 2 Stable in AV ≥ 10, Simple Compensation for AV < 10 ±4.3V Minimum Output Swing, VS = ±6V, RL = 25Ω 7mA Supply Current per Amplifier 200V/µs Slew Rate Stable with 1000pF Load 6nV/√Hz Input Noise Voltage 2pA/√Hz Input Noise Current 4mV Maximum Input Offset Voltage 4µA Maximum Input Bias Current 400nA Maximum Input Offset Current ±4.5V Minimum Input CMR, VS = ±6V Specified at ±6V, ±2.5V The output drives a 25Ω load to ±4.3V with ±6V supplies. On ±2.5V supplies the output swings ±1.5V with a 100Ω load. The amplifier is stable with a 1000pF capacitive load which makes it useful in buffer and cable driver applications. The LT1886 is manufactured on Linear Technology’s advanced low voltage complementary bipolar process and is available in a thermally enhanced SO-8 package.

back-to-back diodes (see the Simplified Schematic). There are no series protection resistors onboard which would degrade the input voltage noise. If the inputs can have a voltage difference of more than 0.7V, the input current should be limited to less than 10mA with external resistance (usually the feedback resistor or source resistor). Each input also has two ESD clamp diodes—one to each supply. If an input drive exceeds the supply, limit the current with an external resistor to less than 10mA. The LT1886 design is a true operational amplifier with high impedance inputs and low input bias currents. The input offset current is a factor of ten lower than the input bias current. To minimize offsets due to input bias currents, match the equivalent DC resistance seen by both inputs. The low input noise current can significantly reduce total noise compared to a current feedback amplifier, especially for higher source resistances. Layout and Passive Components With a gain bandwidth product of 700MHz the LT1886 requires attention to detail in order to extract maximum performance. Use a ground plane, short lead lengths and a combination of RF-quality supply bypass capacitors (i.e., 470pF and 0.1µF). As the primary applications have high drive current, use low ESR supply bypass capacitors (1µF to 10µF). For best distortion performance with high drive current a capacitor with the shortest possible trace lengths should be placed between Pins 4 and 8. The optimum location for this capacitor is on the back side of the PC board. The DSL driver demo board (DC304) for this part uses a Taiyo Yuden 10µF ceramic (TMK432BJ106MM). The parallel combination of the feedback resistor and gain setting resistor on the inverting input can combine with the input capacitance to form a pole which can cause frequency peaking. In general, use feedback resistors of 1kΩ or less. Thermal Issues The LT1886 enhanced θJA SO-8 package has the V– pin fused to the lead frame. This thermal connection increases the efficiency of the PC board as a heat sink. The PCB material can be very effective at transmitting heat between the pad area attached to the V– pin and a ground or power plane layer. Copper board stiffeners and plated throughholes can also be used to spread the heat generated by the device. Table 1 lists the thermal resistance for several different board sizes and copper areas. All measurements were taken in still air on 3/32" FR-4 board with 2oz copper. This data can be used as a rough guideline in estimating thermal resistance. The thermal resistance for each application will be affected by thermal interactions with other components as well as board size and shape. Table 1.

The device dissipation can be found by measuring the supply currents, calculating the total dissipation and then subtracting the dissipation in the load. 9 LT1886 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Typical Performance Curve of Frequency Response vs Capacitive Load shows the peaking for various capacitive loads. 6V + – 909Ω 4V 100Ω 50Ω 1K 100Ω –4V f = 1MHz – + Compensation –6V 1886 F01 Figure 1. Thermal Calculation Example The dissipation for the amplifiers is: PD = (63.5mA)(12V) – (4V/√2)2/(50) = 0.6W The total package power dissipation is 0.6W. When a 2500 sq. mm PC board with 2oz copper on top and bottom is used, the thermal resistance is 80°C/W. The junction temperature TJ is: TJ = (0.6W)(80°C/W) + 85°C = 133°C The maximum junction temperature for the LT1886 is 150°C so the heat sinking capability of the board is adequate for the application. If the copper area on the PC board is reduced to 180 sq. mm the thermal resistance increases to 122°C/W and the junction temperature becomes: TJ = (0.6W)(122°C/W) + 85°C = 158°C which is above the maximum junction temperature indicating that the heat sinking capability of the board is inadequate and should be increased. Capacitive Loading The LT1886 is stable with a 1000pF capacitive load. The photo of the small-signal response with 1000pF load in a gain of 10 shows 50% overshoot. The photo of the largesignal response with a 1000pF load shows that the output slew rate is not limited by the short-circuit current. The 10 This stability is useful in the case of directly driving a coaxial cable or twisted pair that is inadvertently unterminated. For best pulse fidelity, however, a termination resistor of value equal to the characteristic impedance of the cable or twisted pair (i.e., 50Ω/75Ω/100Ω/135Ω) should be placed in series with the output. The other end of the cable or twisted pair should be terminated with the same value resistor to ground. The LT1886 is stable in a gain 10 or higher for any supply and resistive load. It is easily compensated for lower gains with a single resistor or a resistor plus a capacitor. Figure␣ 2 shows that for inverting gains, a resistor from the inverting node to AC ground guarantees stability if the parallel combination of RC and RG is less than or equal to RF/9. For lowest distortion and DC output offset, a series capacitor, CC, can be used to reduce the noise gain at lower frequencies. The break frequency produced by RC and CC should be less than 15MHz to minimize peaking. The Typical Curve of Frequency Response vs Supply Voltage, AV = –1 shows less than 1dB of peaking for a break frequency of 12.8MHz.

The RC, CC network acts similarly to the inverting case. The input impedance is not reduced because the network is bootstrapped. This network can also be placed between the inverting input and an AC ground. Another compensation scheme for noninverting circuits is shown in Figure 4. The circuit is unity gain at low frequency and a gain of 1 + RF/RG at high frequency. The DC output offset is reduced by a factor of ten. The techniques of LT1886 U U W U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Figures 3 and 4 can be combined as shown in Figure 5. The gain is unity at low frequencies, 1 + RF/RG at mid-band and for stability, a gain of 10 or greater at high frequencies. termination resistor is used, a capacitor to ground at the load can eliminate ringing.

The cable/line is terminated in its characteristic impedance (50Ω, 75Ω, 100Ω, 135Ω, etc.). A back-termination resistor also equal to to the chararacteristic impedance should be used for maximum pulse fidelity of outgoing signals, and to terminate the line for incoming signals in a full-duplex application. There are three main drawbacks to this approach. First, the power dissipated in the load and back-termination resistors is equal so half of the power delivered by the amplifier is wasted in the termination resistor. Second, the signal is halved so the gain of the amplifer must be doubled to have the same overall gain to the load. The increase in gain increases noise and decreases bandwidth (which can also increase distortion). Third, the output swing of the amplifier is doubled which can limit the power it can deliver to the load for a given power supply voltage. Figure 4.

Combination Compensation Output Loading The LT1886 output stage is very wide bandwidth and able to source and sink large currents. Reactive loading, even isolated with a back-termination resistor, can cause ringing at frequencies of hundreds of MHz. For this reason, any design should be evaluated over a wide range of output conditions. To reduce the effects of reactive loading, an optional snubber network consisting of a series RC across the load can provide a resistive load at high frequency. Another option is to filter the drive to the load. If a back- An alternate method of back-termination is shown in Figure 7. Positive feedback increases the effective backtermination resistance so RBT can be reduced by a factor of n. To analyze this circuit, first ground the input. As RBT␣ = RL/n, and assuming RP2>>RL we require that: Va = Vo (1 – 1/n) to increase the effective value of RBT by n. Vp = Vo (1 – 1/n)/(1 + RF/RG) Vo = Vp (1 + RP2/RP1) Eliminating Vp, we get the following: (1 + RP2/RP1) = (1 + RF/RG)/(1 – 1/n) 11 LT1886 U U W U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO For example, reducing RBT by a factor of n = 4, and with an amplifer gain of (1 + RF/RG) = 10 requires that RP2/RP1 =␣ 12.3. Note that the overall gain is increased: RP2 / (RP2 + RP1) Vo = Vi (1+ 1/ n) / (1+ RF / RG ) − RP1 / (RP2 + RP1) [ ] [ ] A simpler method of using positive feedback to reduce the back-termination is shown in Figure 8. In this case, the drivers are driven differentially and provide complementary outputs. Grounding the inputs, we see there is inverting gain of –RF/RP from –Vo to Va Va = Vo (RF/RP) and assuming RP >> RL, we require Va = Vo (1 – 1/n) solving RF/RP = 1 – 1/n So to reduce the back-termination by a factor of 3 choose RF/RP = 2/3. Note that the overall gain is increased to: Vo/Vi = (1 + RF/RG + RF/RP)/[2(1 – RF/RP)] ADSL Driver Requirements The LT1886 is an ideal choice for ADSL upstream (CPE) RP2 RP1 Vi modems. The key advantages are: ±200mA output drive with only 1.7V worst-case total supply voltage headroom, high bandwidth, which helps achieve low distortion, low quiescent supply current of 7mA per amplifier and a space-saving, thermally enhanced SO-8 package. An ADSL remote terminal driver must deliver an average power of 13dBm (20mW) into a 100Ω line. This corresponds to 1.41VRMS into the line. The DMT-ADSL peak-toaverage ratio of 5.33 implies voltage peaks of 7.53V into the line. Using a differential drive configuration and transformer coupling with standard back-termination, a transformer ratio of 1:2 is well suited. This is shown on the front page of this data sheet along with the distortion performance vs line voltage at 200kHz, which is beyond ADSL requirements. Note that the distortion is better than –73dBc for all swings up to 16VP-P into the line. The gain of this circuit from the differential inputs to the line voltage is 10. Lower gains are easy to implement using the compensation techniques of Figure 5. Table 2 shows the drive requirements for this standard circuit. The above design is an excellent choice for desktop applications and draws typically 550mW of power. For portable applications, power savings can be achieved by reducing the back-termination resistor using positive feedback as shown in Figure 9. The overall gain of this circuit is also 10, but the power consumption has been reduced to 350mW, a savings of 36% over the previous design. Note that the reduction of the back-termination resistor has allowed use of a 1:1 transformer ratio. + Va RBT VP + Vi Vo Va RBT Vo – RL – RF RG FOR RBT = RL ( )( 1+ RG n RF RP1 RG RP1 + RP2 ) Vo Vi = 1 + 1/n ( ) 1+ RF 1– RG n – RL RF Vi RP1 1886 F07 Figure 7.

It may seem that the low power design is a clear choice, but there are further system issues to consider. In addition to driving the line, the amplifiers provide back-termination for signals that are received simultaneously from the line. In order to reject the drive signal, a receiver circuit is used such as shown in Figure 10. Taking advantage of the differential nature of the signals, the receiver can subtract out the drive signal and amplify the received signal. This method works well for standard back-termination. If the backtermination resistors are reduced by positive feedback, a portion of the received signal also appears at the amplifier outputs. The result is that the received signal is attenuated by the same amount as the reduction in the back-termination resistor. Taking into account the different transformer turns ratios, the received signal of the low power design will be one third of the standard design received signal. The reduced signal has system implications for the sensitivity of the receiver. The power reduction may, or may not, be an acceptable system tradeoff for a given design. Demo Board Demo board DC304 has been created to provide a versatile platform for a line driver/receiver design. (Figure 11 shows a complete schematic.) The board is set up for either single or dual supply designs with Jumpers 1–4. The LT1886 is set up for differential, noninverting gain of 3. Each amp is configured as in Figure 5 for maximum flexibility. The amplifiers drive a 1:2 transformer through back-termination resistors that can be reduced with optional positive feedback. The secondary of the transformer can be isolated from the primary with Jumper 5. A differential receiver is included using the LT1813, a dual 100MHz, 750V/µs operational amplifier. The receiver gain from the transformer secondary is 2, and the drive signals are rejected by approximately a factor of 14dB. Other optional components include filter capacitors and an RC snubber network at the transformer primary.
