ZL40162 and ZL40167 Voltage Feedback Amplifiers Product Preview

ZL40162 / 7
VOLTAGE FEEDBACK AMPLIFIERS
ANALOG
Best-in-Class Feature Set
High linearity produces a Multi-tone Power Ratio
(MTPR) of -70dBC, which meets requirements for
reach and data rate in ADSL applications.
Best combination of noise voltage and noise current
enhances performance in high impedance drive
conditions.
Supply rejection ratio of 81dB and common mode
rejection ratio of 70dBc enhance system stability
during interference.
The ZL™40162 and ZL40167 are high-performance, dualmatched voltage feedback amplifiers that offer the industry’s most comprehensive set of best-in-class features at
a low cost. Based on a novel, balanced amplifier design,
the new broadband amplifiers support high bandwidth
while optimizing noise performance, output drive, stability
and quiescent current.
The ZL40162 is designed to meet the high linearity
requirements of ADSL modems, while the ZL40167 optimizes differential gain performance ideal for a wide range
of applications including NTSC composite video systems,
active filters, pulse delay filters, and A to D drivers.
Zarlink’s ZL40162 and ZL40167 also feature robust surge
tolerance, able to absorb high latch up levels and Electro
Static Discharge (ESD) stress. In some applications, this
may enable customers to reduce the amount of primary
and secondary protection, thereby reducing system cost.
Applications
Ultra-low quiescent current optimizes battery life in
portable equipment.
Optimized differential gain and differential phase noise
of 0.003% and 0.07 degrees ideal for processing
NTSC composite video.
High unity gain bandwidth of >250MHz supports wide
range of high-speed applications.
Low temperature stable offset of <+/-4mV enables
DC coupled solutions, and eliminates requirementfor
external coupling capacitors.
Robust Surge Tolerance
Output and supply pins withstand 4kV human body
ESD, while differential inputs tolerate 1.25 kV ESD.
All ports survive full JEDEC latch up test of +/- 100mA
for 100mS.
Ease of Use

The diagram below illustrates how Zarlink’s ZL40162 and
ZL40167 can be connected as differential line drivers in
ADSL modem applications.
The novel, balanced architecture of the ZL40162 delivers
excellent common mode rejection, supply rejection, and
second order distortion performance. As a result, ADSL
modem designers can easily meet the high linearity and
low distortion levels required of ADSL systems.
The ZL40167 is a high-speed amplifier that offers excellent
AC performance over a wide bandwidth, making it ideal for
the line pre-driver stage.
With stable offset over a wide temperature range, the
ZL40162 allows a DC coupled design to be used without
compromising performance. This approach eliminates requirements for external decoupling capacitors and avoids
the need for alignment thereby reducing system-level
cost.
Operating as the line driver, the ZL40162 achieves high
output current with low harmonic distortion as required
in DSL applications. The device amplifies the signal and
provides drive and impedance matching to deliver signals
up to 18.8Vpp swing into a 25 Ohm load. This supports the
peak upstream power levels for full-rate ADSL systems.
Zarlink’s voltage feedback amplifiers are based on a highperformance HJV complementary bipolar process. The
process enables the amplifiers to support wide bandwidth
levels typically achieved using alternative, current-feedback approaches, while fully exploiting the benefits of a
voltage feedback architecture: low offset, low offset drift,
low noise, and low quiescent current.
The ZL40162 and ZL40167 are pin compatible with the
industry standard for dual op amps. As a result, the devices can easily be dropped into next-generation designs,
allowing engineers to quickly realize cost and performance
benefits. The devices are manufactured at Zarlink’s own
high-performance fab, which ensures security of supply
and on-time volume delivery.
