High Power Differential Line Driver
Features
The EL1503 ADSL Line Driver contains two wideband highvoltage drivers which are ideally suited for both ADSL and
HDSL2 applications. They can supply a 39.2VP-P signal into
a 22Ω load while exhibiting very low distortion. The EL1503
also has a number of power saving features. The IADJ pin
can be used to set the maximum supply current and the C0
and C1 pins can be used to digitally vary the supply current
to one of four modes. These modes include full power, low
power, terminate only and power down.
• High power ADSL driver
The EL1503 uses current-feedback type amplifiers, which
achieve a high slew rate while consuming moderate power.
They retain their frequency response over a wide range of
externally set gains. The EL1503 operates on ±5V to ±12V
supplies and consumes only 12.5mA per amplifier.
The device is supplied in a standard form-factor 20-pin SO
(0.300”), 16-pin thermal SO (0.150”), and the small footprint
(4x5mm) 24-pin LPP packages. Center pins on each side of
the 20-pin and 16-pin packages are used as ground
connections and heat spreaders. The LPP package has the
potential for a low θJA (<40°C/W) and dissipates heat by
means of a thermal pad that is soldered onto the PCB. All
package options are specified for operation over the full
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

EL1503
Applications Information
The EL1503 consists of two high-power line driver amplifiers
that can be connected for full duplex differential line
transmission. The amplifiers are designed to be used with
signals up to 4MHz and produce low distortion levels. A
typical interface circuit is shown in Figure 40 below.

inductive sources. More than 100nH of source impedance
can cause ringing or even oscillations. This inductance is
equivalent to about 4” of unshielded wiring, or 6” of
unterminated transmission line. Normal high-frequency
construction obviates any such problem.
Power Supplies & Dissipation
Due to the high power drive capability of the EL1503, much
attention needs to be paid to power dissipation. The power
that needs to be dissipated in the EL1503 has two main
contributors. The first is the quiescent current dissipation.
The second is the dissipation of the output stage.

The quiescent power in the EL1503 is not constant with
varying outputs. In reality, 7mA of the 12.5mA needed to
power each driver is converted in to output current.
Therefore, in the equation below we should subtract the
average output current, IO, or 7mA, whichever is the lowest.
We’ll call this term IX.
Therefore, we can determine a quiescent current with the
equation:
P Dquiescent = V S × ( I S – 2I X )
where:
FIGURE 40. TYPICAL LINE INTERFACE CONNECTION
The amplifiers are wired with one in positive gain and the
other in a negative gain configuration to generate a
differential output for a single-ended input. They will exhibit
very similar frequency responses for gains of three or
greater and thus generate very small common-mode outputs
over frequency, but for low gains the two drivers RF's need
to be adjusted to give similar frequency responses. The
positive-gain driver will generally exhibit more bandwidth and
peaking than the negative-gain driver. If a differential signal
is available to the drive amplifiers, they may be wired so:

FIGURE 41. DRIVERS WIRED FOR DIFFERENTIAL INPUT
Each amplifier has identical positive gain connections, and
optimum common-mode rejection occurs. Further, DC input
errors are duplicated and create common-mode rather than
differential line errors.
VS is the supply voltage (VS+ to VS-)
IS is the maximum quiescent supply current (IS+ + IS-)
IX is the lesser of IO or 7mA (generally IX = 7mA)
The dissipation in the output stage has two main
contributors. Firstly, we have the average voltage drop
across the output transistor and secondly, the average
output current. For minimal power dissipation, the user
should select the supply voltage and the line transformer
ratio accordingly. The supply voltage should be kept as low
as possible, while the transformer ratio should be selected
so that the peak voltage required from the EL1503 is close to
the maximum available output swing. There is a trade of
however with the selection of transformer ratio. As the ratio
is increased, the receive signal available to the receivers is
reduced.
Once the user has selected the transformer ratio, the
dissipation in the output stages can be selected with the
following equation:
VS
P Dtransistors = 2 × I O × ⎛ ------- – V O ⎞
⎝ 2
⎠
where:
VS is the supply voltage (VS+ to VS-)
VO is the average output voltage per channel
IO is the average output current per channel
Input Connections
The EL1503 amplifiers are somewhat sensitive to source
impedance. In particular, they do not like being driven by
14
The overall power dissipation (PDISS) is obtained by adding
PDquiescent and PDtransistor.
EL1503
Then, the θJA requirement needs to be calculated. This is
done using the equation:
( T JUNCT – T AMB )
θ JA = ------------------------------------------------P DISS
where:
TJUNCT is the maximum die temperature (150°C)
TAMB is the maximum ambient temperature
PDISS is the dissipation calculated above
θJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance for the
package when mounted on the PCB
This θJA value is then used to calculate the area of copper
needed on the board to dissipate the power. The graph
below show various θJA for the SO20 mounted on different
copper foil areas.

technique, but several aspects of board layout should be
noted. First, the heat should not be shunted to internal
copper layers of the board nor backside foil, since the
feedthroughs and fiberglass of the board are not very
thermally conductive. To obtain the best thermal resistance
of the mounted part, θJA, the topside copper ground plane
should have as much area as possible and be as thick as
practical. If possible, the solder mask should be cut away
from the EL1503 to improve thermal resistance. Finally,
metal heatsinks can be placed against the board close to the
part to draw heat toward the chassis.
Output Loading
While the drive amplifiers can output in excess of 500mA
transiently, the internal metallization is not designed to carry
more than 100mA of steady DC current and there is no
current-limit mechanism. This allows safely driving rms
sinusoidal currents of 2 x 100mA, or 200mA. This current is
more than that required to drive line impedances to large
output levels, but output short circuits cannot be tolerated.
The series output resistor will usually limit currents to safe
values in the event of line shorts. Driving lines with no series
resistor is a serious hazard.

A separate application note details the 24-pin LPP PCB
design considerations.
Single Supply Operation
The EL1503 can also be powered from a single supply
voltage. When operating in this mode, the GND pins can still
be connected directly to GND. To calculate power
dissipation, the equations in the previous section should be
used, with VS equal to half the supply rail.
EL1503 PCB Design
A separate application note details the 24-pin LPP PCB
design considerations. The SO power packages (16 and 20
leads) are designed so that heat may be conducted away
from the device in an efficient manner. To disperse this heat,
the center leads (4 per side for the 20 lead and 2 per side for
the 16 lead) are internally connected to the mounting
platform of the die. Heat flows through the leads into the
circuit board copper, then spreads and convects to air. Thus,
the ground plane on the component side of the board
becomes the heatsink. This has proven to be a very effective
15
The amplifiers are sensitive to capacitive loading. More than
25pF will cause peaking of the frequency response. The
same is true of badly terminated lines connected without a
series matching resistor.
The power supplies should be well bypassed close to the
EL1503. A 3.3µF tantalum capacitor for each supply works
well. Since the load currents are differential, they should not
travel through the board copper and set up ground loops that
can return to amplifier inputs. Due to the class AB output
stage design, these currents have heavy harmonic content.
If the ground terminal of the positive and negative bypass
capacitors are connected to each other directly and then
returned to circuit ground, no such ground loops will occur.
This scheme is employed in the layout of the EL1503
demonstration board, and documentation can be obtained
from the factory.
Feedback Resistor Value
The bandwidth and peaking of the amplifiers varies with
supply voltage somewhat and with gain settings. The
feedback resistor values can be adjusted to produce an
optimal frequency response. Here is a series of resistor
values that produce an optimal driver frequency. The
bandwidth and peaking of the amplifiers varies with supply
voltage somewhat and with gain settings. The feedback
resistor values can be adjusted to produce an optimal
frequency response. Here is a series of resistor values that

Power Control Function
The EL1503 contains two forms of power control operation.
Two digital inputs, C0 and C1, can be used to control the
supply current of the EL1503 drive amplifiers. As the supply
current is reduced, the EL1503 will start to exhibit slightly
higher levels of distortion and the frequency response will be
limited. The 4 power modes of the EL1503 are set up as
shown in the table below:
Another method for controlling the power consumption of the
EL1503 is to connect a resistor from the IADJ pin to ground.
When this pin is grounded (the normal state), the supply
current per channel is as per the specifications table on page
2. When a resistor is inserted, the supply current is scaled
according to the “IS vs RSET” graphs on page 10 in the
Performance Curves section.
Both methods of power control can be used simultaneously.
In this case, positive and negative supply currents (per amp)
are given by the equations below:
12.5mA
I S + = 1mA + ( C 1 × 2 ⁄ 3 ) × ------------------------------------------( 1 + R SET ÷ 1k )
12.5mA
+ ( C 0 × 1 ⁄ 3 ) × ------------------------------------------( 1 + R SET ÷ 1k )
