The ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2 are very low noise, low distortion,
high speed differential amplifiers. They are an ideal choice for
driving 1.8 V high performance ADCs with resolutions up to
14 bits from dc to 70 MHz. The adjustable output common
mode allows the ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2 to match the input of
the ADC. The internal common-mode feedback loop provides
exceptional output balance, suppression of even-order harmonic
distortion products, and dc level translation.
With the ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2, differential gain configurations
are easily realized with a simple external feedback network of
four resistors determining the closed-loop gain of the amplifier.
The ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2 are fabricated using Analog
Devices, Inc., proprietary silicon-germanium (SiGe), complementary bipolar process, enabling them to achieve very low
levels of distortion with an input voltage noise of only 1.2 nV/√Hz.

MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
The maximum safe power dissipation in the ADA4930-1/
ADA4930-2 packages is limited by the associated rise in
junction temperature (TJ) on the die. At approximately 150°C,
which is the glass transition temperature, the plastic changes its
properties. Even temporarily exceeding this temperature limit
can change the stresses that the package exerts on the die,
permanently shifting the parametric performance of the
ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2. Exceeding a junction temperature of
150°C for an extended period can result in changes in the
silicon devices, potentially causing failure.
Airflow increases heat dissipation, effectively reducing θJA. In
addition, more metal directly in contact with the package leads/
exposed pad from metal traces, through holes, ground, and
power planes reduces θJA.
Figure 4 shows the maximum safe power dissipation vs. the
ambient temperature for the ADA4930-1 single 16-lead LFCSP
(98°C/W) and the ADA4930-2 dual 24-lead LFCSP (67°C/W)
on a JEDEC standard 4-layer board.

The power dissipated in the package (PD) is the sum of the
quiescent power dissipation and the power dissipated in the
package due to the load drive. The quiescent power is the voltage
between the supply pins (VS) times the quiescent current (IS).
The power dissipated due to the load drive depends upon the
particular application. The power due to load drive is calculated
by multiplying the load current by the associated voltage drop
across the device. RMS voltages and currents must be used in
these calculations.

Common-mode voltage refers to the average of two node voltages.
The output common-mode voltage is defined as
RF
Figure 42. Circuit Definitions
Differential Voltage
Differential voltage refers to the difference between two
node voltages. For example, the output differential voltage (or,
equivalently, output differential-mode voltage) is defined as
VOUT, dm = (V+OUT − V−OUT)
Output balance is a measure of how close the differential signals are
to being equal in amplitude and opposite in phase. Output balance
is most easily determined by placing a well-matched resistor
divider between the differential voltage nodes and comparing the
magnitude of the signal at the divider midpoint with the magnitude
of the differential signal (see Figure 39). By this definition, output
balance is the magnitude of the output common-mode voltage
divided by the magnitude of the output differential mode voltage.
where V+OUT and V−OUT refer to the voltages at the +OUT and
−OUT terminals with respect to a common reference.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Two feedback loops control the differential and common-mode
output voltages. The differential feedback, set with external
resistors, controls the differential output voltage. The commonmode feedback controls the common-mode output voltage. This
architecture makes it easy to set the output common-mode level
to any arbitrary value within the specified limits. The output
common-mode voltage is forced to be equal to the voltage applied
to the VOCM input by the internal common-mode feedback loop.
The internal common-mode feedback loop produces outputs
that are highly balanced over a wide frequency range without
requiring tightly matched external components. This results
in differential outputs that are very close to the ideal of being
identical in amplitude and are exactly 180° apart in phase.
ESTIMATING THE OUTPUT NOISE VOLTAGE
The differential output noise of the ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2 can
be estimated using the noise model in Figure 43. The input-referred
noise voltage density, vnIN, is modeled as differential. The noise
currents, inIN− and inIN+, appear between each input and ground.

Figure 43. Noise Model
Similar to the case of conventional op amps, the output noise
voltage densities can be estimated by multiplying the inputreferred terms at +IN and −IN by an appropriate output factor.
The output voltage due to vnIN is obtained by multiplying vnIN by
the noise gain, GN.
The circuit noise gain is

where the feedback factors are

and β2 

When the feedback factors are matched, RF1/RG1 = RF2/RG2,

β1 = β2 = β, and the noise gain becomes GN   1  F .

RG
The noise currents are uncorrelated with the same mean-square
value, and each produces an output voltage that is equal to the
noise current multiplied by the associated feedback resistance.
The noise voltage density at the VOCM pin is vnCM. When the
feedback networks have the same feedback factor, as in most
cases, the output noise due to vnCM is common-mode and the
output noise from VOCM is zero.
The differential-mode gain of the circuit in Figure 42 is
determined by

ANALYZING AN APPLICATION CIRCUIT
The ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2 use high open-loop gain and
negative feedback to force their differential and common-mode
output voltages to minimize the differential and common-mode
error voltages. The differential error voltage is defined as the
voltage between the differential inputs labeled +IN and −IN
(see Figure 42). For most purposes, this voltage can be assumed
to be zero. Similarly, the difference between the actual output
common-mode voltage and the voltage applied to VOCM can also
be assumed to be zero. Starting from these two assumptions,
any application circuit can be analyzed.
RG1
09209-050
The ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2 differ from conventional op amps
in that they have two outputs whose voltages move in opposite
directions and an additional input, VOCM. Like an op amp, they rely
on high open-loop gain and negative feedback to force these
outputs to the desired voltages. The ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2
behave much like standard voltage feedback op amps and facilitate
single-ended-to-differential conversions, common-mode level
shifting, and amplifications of differential signals. Like op amps,
the ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2 have high input impedance and low
output impedance.
RF
RG
where the gain and feedback resistors, RG and RF, on each side
are equal.
Each of the four resistors contributes (4kTRxx)1/2. The noise
from the feedback resistors appears directly at the output, and
the noise from the gain resistors appears at the output multiplied
by RF/RG.
The total differential output noise density, vnOD, is the root-sumsquare of the individual output noise terms.

(RF/RG) are mismatched, the internal common-mode feedback
loop still forces the outputs to remain balanced. The amplitudes
of the signals at each output remain equal and 180° out of phase.
The input-to-output differential mode gain varies proportionately
to the feedback mismatch, but the output balance is unaffected.
The gain from the VOCM pin to VO, dm is equal to
2(β1 − β2)/(β1 + β2)
When β1 = β2, this term goes to zero and there is no differential
output voltage due to the voltage on the VOCM input (including
noise). The extreme case occurs when one loop is open and the
other has 100% feedback; in this case, the gain from VOCM input
to VO, dm is either +2 or −2, depending on which loop is closed. The
feedback loops are nominally matched to within 1% in most
applications, and the output noise and offsets due to the VOCM
input are negligible. If the loops are intentionally mismatched by a
large amount, it is necessary to include the gain term from VOCM
to VO, dm and account for the extra noise. For example, if β1 = 0.5
and β2 = 0.25, the gain from VOCM to VO, dm is 0.67. If the VOCM pin
is set to 0.9 V, a differential offset voltage is present at the output of
(0.9 V)(0.67) = 0.6 V. The differential output noise contribution is
(5 nV/√Hz)(0.67) = 3.35 nV/√Hz. Both of these results are
undesirable in most applications; therefore, it is best to use
nominally matched feedback factors.
Mismatched feedback networks also result in a degradation of
the ability of the circuit to reject input common-mode signals,
much the same as for a four-resistor difference amplifier made
from a conventional op amp.
As a practical summarization of the previous issues, resistors of
1% tolerance produce a worst-case input CMRR of approximately
40 dB, a worst-case differential-mode output offset of 9 mV due
to a 0.9 V VOCM input, negligible VOCM noise contribution, and
no significant degradation in output balance error.
INPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE RANGE
The input common-mode range at the summing nodes of the
ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2 is specified as 0.3 V to 1.5 V at VS = 3.3 V.
To avoid nonlinearities, the voltage swing at the +IN and −IN
terminals must be confined to these ranges.

ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2
Due to the wide bandwidth of the ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2, the
value of RG must be greater than or equal to 301 Ω at unity gain
to provide sufficient damping in the amplifier front end. In the
terminated case, RG includes the Thevenin resistance of the
source and load terminations.
SETTING THE OUTPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE
The VOCM pin of the ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2 is biased at 3/10 of
the total supply voltage above −VS with an internal voltage divider.
The input impedance of the VOCM pin is 8.4 kΩ. When relying
on the internal bias, the output common-mode voltage is within
about 100 mV of the expected value.
For an unbalanced single-ended input signal, as shown in
Figure 45, the input impedance is

CALCULATING THE INPUT IMPEDANCE FOR AN
APPLICATION CIRCUIT
The effective input impedance depends on whether the signal
source is single-ended or differential. For a balanced differential
input signal, as shown in Figure 44, the input impedance (RIN, dm)
between the inputs (+DIN and −DIN) is RIN, dm = 2 × RG.
RG1
RF1
In cases where accurate control of the output common-mode
level is required, it is recommended that an external source or
resistor divider be used with source resistance less than 100 Ω.
The output common-mode offset listed in the Specifications
section assumes that the VOCM input is driven by a low impedance
voltage source.
It is also possible to connect the VOCM input to a common-mode
voltage (VCM) output of an ADC. However, care must be taken
to ensure that the output has sufficient drive capability. The
input impedance of the VOCM pin is approximately 10 kΩ. If
multiple ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2 devices share one reference
output, it is recommended that a buffer be used.

MINIMUM RG VALUE
The input impedance of the circuit is effectively higher than it
would be for a conventional op amp connected as an inverter
because a fraction of the differential output voltage appears at
the inputs as a common-mode signal, partially bootstrapping
the voltage across the input resistor RG1. The common-mode
voltage at the amplifier input terminals can be easily determined
by noting that the voltage at the inverting input is equal to the
noninverting output voltage divided down by the voltage divider
formed by RF2 and RG2. This voltage is present at both input
terminals due to negative voltage feedback and is in phase with
the input signal, thus reducing the effective voltage across RG1,
partially bootstrapping it.

Compensate the imbalance caused by RTH. There are two

Terminating a Single-Ended Input in a Single-Supply
Applications
To comply with the minimum specified input common-mode
voltage of 0.3 V at VS = 3.3 V, set the minimum value of VP
and VN to 0.3 V.
Recognize that VP and VN are at their minimum values when
VOP and VS are at their minimum (and therefore VON is at its
maximum).
3.
When the application circuit of Figure 50 is powered by a single
supply, the common-mode voltage at the amplifier inputs, VP
and VN, may have to be raised to comply with the specified input
common-mode range. Two methods are available: a dc bias on
the source, as shown in Figure 51, or by connecting resistors
RCM between each input and the supply, as shown on Figure 54.
4.
Let
VP min = VN min = 0.3 V, VOCM = VCM = 1 V, VTH min = −VTH/2
VON max = VOCM + VOUT, dm/4 and VOP min = VOCM − VOUT, dm/4
Input Common-Mode Adjustment with DC Biased Source
To drive a 1.8 V ADC with VCM = 1 V, a 3.3 V single supply
minimizes the power dissipation of the ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2.
The application circuit of Figure 50 on a 3.3 V single supply with a
dc bias added to the source is shown in Figure 51.
Substitute conditions into the nodal equation for VP and solve
for VDC-TH.
0.3 = −1.124/2 + VDC-TH + 0.361 × (1 + 1.99/4 = 1.124/2 – VDC-TH)

ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2
LAYOUT, GROUNDING, AND BYPASSING
The ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2 are high speed devices. Realizing
their superior performance requires attention to the details of
high speed PCB design.
Use radio frequency transmission lines to connect the driver
and receiver to the amplifier.
Minimize stray capacitance at the input/output pins by clearing
the underlying ground and low impedance planes near these pins
(see Figure 56).
The first requirement is to use a multilayer PCB with solid ground
and power planes that cover as much of the board area as possible.
Bypass each power supply pin directly to a nearby ground plane, as
close to the device as possible. Use 0.1 μF high frequency ceramic
chip capacitors.
If the driver/receiver is more than one-eighth of the wavelength
from the amplifier, the signal trace widths should be minimal.
This nontransmission line configuration requires the underlying
and adjacent ground and low impedance planes to be cleared
near the signal lines.
Provide low frequency bulk bypassing, using 10 μF tantalum
capacitors from each supply to ground.
The exposed thermal paddle is internally connected to the ground
pin of the amplifier. Solder the paddle to the low impedance
ground plane on the PCB to ensure the specified electrical
performance and to provide thermal relief. To reduce thermal
impedance further, it is recommended that the ground planes
on all layers under the paddle be connected together with vias.
Stray transmission line capacitance in combination with package
parasitics can potentially form a resonant circuit at high
frequencies, resulting in excessive gain peaking or possible
oscillation.
Signal routing should be short and direct to avoid such parasitic
effects. Provide symmetrical layout for complementary signals
to maximize balanced performance.

HIGH PERFORMANCE ADC DRIVING
A third-order, 40 MHz, low-pass filter between the ADA4930-1
and the AD9255 reduces the noise bandwidth of the amplifier
and isolates the driver outputs from the ADC inputs.
The ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2 provide excellent performance in
3.3 V single-supply applications.
The circuit shown in Figure 59 is an example of the ADA4930-1
driving an AD9255, 14-bit, 80 MSPS ADC that is specified to
operate with a single 1.8 V supply. The performance of the ADC
is optimized when it is driven differentially, making the best use of
the signal swing available within the 1.8 V supply. The ADA4930-1
performs the single-ended-to-differential conversion, commonmode level shifting, and buffering of the driving signal.
The circuit shown in Figure 60 is an example of ½ of an
ADA4930-2 driving ½ of an AD9640, a 14-bit, 80 MSPS
ADC that is specified to operate with a single 1.8 V supply.
The performance of the ADC is optimized when it is driven
differentially, making the best use of the signal swing available
within the 1.8 V supply. The ADA4930-2 performs the singleended-to-differential conversion, common-mode level shifting,
and buffering of the driving signal.
The ADA4930-1 is configured for a single-ended input to
differential output with a gain of 2 V/V. The 84.5 Ω termination
resistor, in parallel with the single-ended input impedance of
95.1 Ω, provides a 50 Ω termination for the source. The additional
31.6 Ω (95 Ω total) at the inverting input balances the parallel
impedance of the 50 Ω source and the termination resistor that
drives the noninverting input.
The ADA4930-2 is configured for a single-ended input to
differential output with a gain of 2 V/V. The 88.5 Ω termination
resistor, in parallel with the single-ended input impedance of
114.75 Ω, provides a 50 Ω termination for the source. The
increased gain resistance at the inverting input balances the 50 Ω
source resistance and the termination resistor that drives the
noninverting input.
The VOCM pin is connected to the VCM output of the AD9255
and sets the output common mode of the ADA4930-1 at 1 V.
The VOCM pin is connected to the CML output of the AD9640 and
sets the output common mode of the ADA4930-2 at 1 V.
Note that a dc bias must be added to the signal source and its
Thevenin equivalent to the gain resistor on the inverting side
to ensure that the inputs of the ADA4930-1 are kept at or above
the specified minimum input common-mode voltage at all times.
The 739 Ω resistors between each input and the 3.3 V supply
provide the necessary dc bias to guarantee compliance with the
input common-mode range of the ADA4930-2.
The 0.5 V dc bias at the signal source and the 0.314 V dc bias on
the gain resistor at the inverting input set the inputs of the
ADA4930-1 to ~0.48 V dc. With 1 V p-p maximum signal swing
at the input, the ADA4930-1 inputs swing between 0.36 V and
0.6 V.
For a common-mode voltage of 1 V, each ADA4930-2 output
swings between 0.501 V and 1.498 V, providing a 1.994 V p-p
differential output.
A third-order, 40 MHz, low-pass filter between the ADA4930-2
and the AD9640 reduces the noise bandwidth of the amplifier
and isolates the driver outputs from the ADC inputs.
For a common-mode voltage of 1 V, each ADA4930-1 output
swings between 0.501 V and 1.498 V, providing a 1.994 V p-p
differential output.
