250MHz Differential Twisted-Pair Drivers
EL5171, EL5371
Features
The EL5171 and EL5371 are single and triple bandwidth
amplifiers with an output in differential form. They are primarily
targeted for applications such as driving twisted-pair lines in
component video applications. The input signal is single-ended
and the outputs are always differential.
• Fully differential outputs and feedback
On the EL5171 and EL5371, two feedback inputs provide the
user with the ability to set the gain of each device (stable at
minimum gain of one). For a fixed gain of two, please see
EL5170 and EL5370.
• Low distortion at 5MHz
The output common mode level for each channel is set by the
associated VREF pin, which have a -3dB bandwidth of over
50MHz. Generally, these pins are grounded but can be tied to
any voltage reference.
• Input range ±2.3V typ.
• 250MHz 3dB bandwidth
• 800V/µs slew rate
• Single 5V or dual ±5V supplies
• 90mA maximum output current
• Low power - 8mA per channel
• Pb-free available (RoHS compliant)
Applications
All outputs are short circuit protected to withstand temporary
overload condition.
• Twisted-pair driver
The EL5171 and EL5371 are specified for operation over the
full -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
• VGA over twisted-pair
• Differential line driver
• ADSL/HDSL driver
• Single-ended to differential amplification
• Transmission of analog signals in a noisy environment

Description of Operation and
Application Information
Product Description
The EL5171 and EL5371 are wide bandwidth, low power and
single-ended to differential output amplifiers. The EL5171 is a
single channel differential amplifier. Since the IN- pin and REF
pin are tied together internally, the EL5171 can be used as a
single-ended to differential converter. The EL5371 is a triple
channel differential amplifier. The EL5371 has a separate INpin and REF pin for each channel. It can be used as a
single/differential ended to differential converter. The EL5171
and EL5371 are internally compensated for closed loop gain of
+1 or greater. Connected in gain of 1 and driving a 1k
differential load, the EL5171 and EL5371 have a -3dB
bandwidth of 250MHz. Driving a 200 differential load at gain
of 2, the bandwidth is about 30MHz. The EL5371 is available
with a power-down feature to reduce the power while the
amplifier is disabled.
Input, Output, and Supply Voltage Range
The EL5171 and EL5371 have been designed to operate with a
single supply voltage of 5V to 10V or split supplies with its total
voltage from 5V to 10V. The amplifiers have an input common
mode voltage range from -4.5V to 3.4V for ±5V supply. The
differential mode input range (DMIR) between the two inputs is
from -2.3V to +2.3V. The input voltage range at the REF pin is
from -3.3V to 3.8V. If the input common mode or differential
mode signal is outside the above-specified ranges, it will cause
the output signal to become distorted.
The output of the EL5171 and EL5371 can swing from -3.9V to
+3.9V at 1k differential load at ±5V supply. As the load
resistance becomes lower, the output swing is reduced.

the common mode signal and also part of the differential mode
signal. For the true balance differential outputs, the REF pin must
be tied to the same bias level as the IN+ pin. For a ±5V supply, just
tie the REF pin to GND if the IN+ pin is biased at 0V with a 50 or
75 termination resistor. For a single supply application, if the
IN+ is biased to half of the rail, the REF pin should be biased to
half of the rail also.

The EL5371 can be disabled and its outputs placed in a high
impedance state. The turn-off time is about 0.95µs and the
turn-on time is about 215ns. When disabled, the amplifier's
supply current is reduced to 1.7µA for IS+ and 120µA for IStypically, thereby effectively eliminating the power
consumption. The amplifier's power-down can be controlled by
standard CMOS signal levels at the ENABLE pin. The applied
logic signal is relative to the VS+ pin. Letting the EN pin float or
applying a signal that is less than 1.5V below VS+ will enable
the amplifier. The amplifier will be disabled when the signal at
the EN pin is above VS+ - 0.5V.

Choice of Feedback Resistor and Gain
Bandwidth Product
For applications that require a gain of +1, no feedback resistor
is required. Just short the OUT+ pin to the FBP pin and the OUTpin to the FBN pin. For gains greater than +1, the feedback
resistor forms a pole with the parasitic capacitance at the
inverting input. As this pole becomes smaller, the amplifier's
phase margin is reduced. This causes ringing in the time
domain and peaking in the frequency domain. Therefore, RF has
some maximum value that should not be exceeded for optimum
performance. If a large value of RF must be used, a small
capacitor in the few Pico farad range in parallel with RF can help
to reduce the ringing and peaking at the expense of reducing
the bandwidth.
The bandwidth of the EL5171 and EL5371 depends on the load
and the feedback network. RF and RG appear in parallel with
the load for gains other than +1. As this combination gets
smaller, the bandwidth falls off. Consequently, RF also has a
minimum value that should not be exceeded for optimum
bandwidth performance. For gain of +1, RF = 0 is optimum. For
the gains other than +1, optimum response is obtained with RF
between 500 to 1k.
The EL5171 and EL5371 have a gain bandwidth product of
100MHz for RLD = 1k. For gains 5, their bandwidth can be
predicted by Equation 3:
(EQ. 3)
Gain  BW = 100MHz
Driving Capacitive Loads and Cables
The EL5171 and EL5371 can drive 50pF differential capacitor
in parallel with 1k differential load with less than 5dB of
peaking at gain of +1. If less peaking is desired in applications,
a small series resistor (usually between 5 to 50) can be
placed in series with each output to eliminate most peaking.
However, this will reduce the gain slightly. If the gain setting is
greater than 1, the gain resistor RG can then be chosen to
make up for any gain loss, which may be created by the
additional series resistor at the output.
When used as a cable driver, double termination is always
recommended for reflection-free performance. For those
applications, a back-termination series resistor at the
amplifier's output will isolate the amplifier from the cable and
allow extensive capacitive drive. However, other applications
may have high capacitive loads without a back-termination
Output Drive Capability
The EL5171 and EL5371 have internal short circuit protection.
Its typical short circuit current is ±90mA for EL5171 and ±70mA
for EL5371. If the output is shorted indefinitely, the power
dissipation could easily increase such that the part will be
destroyed. Maximum reliability is maintained if the output
current never exceeds ±60mA. This limit is set by the design of
the internal metal interconnections.
Power Dissipation
With the high output drive capability of the EL5171 and EL5371,
it is possible to exceed the +135°C absolute maximum junction
temperature under certain load current conditions. Therefore, it
is important to calculate the maximum junction temperature for
the application to determine if the load conditions or package
types need to be modified for the amplifier to remain in the safe
operating area.
The maximum power dissipation allowed in a package is
determined according to Equation 4:
T JMAX – T AMAX
PD MAX = -------------------------------------------- JA
(EQ. 4)
Where:
• TJMAX = Maximum junction temperature
• TAMAX = Maximum ambient temperature
• JA = Thermal resistance of the package
The maximum power dissipation actually produced by an IC is
the total quiescent supply current times the total power supply
voltage, plus the power in the IC due to the load, or as
represented in Equation 5:

ILOAD = Load current
i = Number of channels
By setting the two PDMAX equations equal to each other, we can
solve the output current and RLOAD to avoid the device overheat.
Power Supply Bypassing and Printed Circuit
Board Layout
As with any high frequency device, a good printed circuit board
layout is necessary for optimum performance. Lead lengths
should be as sort as possible. The power supply pin must be well
bypassed to reduce the risk of oscillation. For normal single
supply operation, where the VS- pin is connected to the ground
plane, a single 4.7µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor from VS+ to GND will suffice. This same
capacitor combination should be placed at each supply pin to
ground if split supplies are to be used. In this case, the VS- pin
becomes the negative supply rail.
For good AC performance, parasitic capacitance should be kept
to a minimum. Use of wire wound resistors should be avoided
because of their additional series inductance. Use of sockets
should also be avoided, if possible. Sockets add parasitic
inductance and capacitance that can result in compromised
performance. Minimizing parasitic capacitance at the amplifier's
inverting input pin is very important. The feedback resistor
should be placed very close to the inverting input pin. Strip line
design techniques are recommended for the signal traces.
As the signal is transmitted through a cable, the high frequency
signal will be attenuated. One way to compensate this loss is to
boost the high frequency gain at the receiver side.
