Electrical Table values apply only for factory testing conditions at the temperature indicated. Factory testing conditions result in very
limited self-heating of the device such that TJ = TA. No specification of parametric performance is indicated in the electrical tables under
conditions of internal self-heating where TJ > TA.
Limits are 100% production tested at 25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are specified through correlation using
Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods.
Typical numbers are the most likely parametric norm.
Slew Rate is the average of the rising and falling edges.
Drift determined by dividing the change in parameter at temperature extremes by the total temperature change.
Negative input current implies current flowing out of the device.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LMH6551 is a fully differential amplifier designed to provide low distortion amplification to wide bandwidth
differential signals. The LMH6551, though fully integrated for ultimate balance and distortion performance,
functionally provides three channels. Two of these channels are the V+ and V− signal path channels, which
function similarly to inverting mode operational amplifiers and are the primary signal paths. The third channel is
the common-mode feedback circuit. This is the circuit that sets the output common mode as well as driving the
V+ and V− outputs to be equal magnitude and opposite phase, even when only one of the two input channels is
driven. The common-mode feedback circuit allows single-ended to differential operation.

8.3 Feature Description
The LMH6551 combines a core differential I/O, high-gain block with an output common-mode sense that is
compared to a reference voltage and then fed back into the main amplifier block to control the average output to
that reference. The differential I/O block is a classic, high open-loop gain stage. The high-speed differential
outputs include an internal averaging resistor network to sense the output common-mode voltage. This voltage is
compared by a separate VCM error amplifier to the voltage on the VOCM pin. If floated, this reference is at half
the total supply voltage across the device using two 50-kΩ resistors. This VCM error amplifier transmits a
correction signal into the main amplifier to force the output average voltage to meet the target voltage on the
VOCM pin.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
This wideband FDA requires external resistors for correct signal-path operation. When configured for the desired
input impedance and gain setting with these external resistors, the amplifier can be either on with the PD pin
asserted to a voltage greater than Vs– + 1.7 V, or turned off by asserting PD low. Disabling the amplifier shuts
off the quiescent current and stops correct amplifier operation. The signal path is still present for the source
signal through the external resistors. The VOCM control pin sets the output average voltage. Left open, VOCM
defaults to an internal midsupply value. Driving this high-impedance input with a voltage reference within its valid
range sets a target for the internal VCM error amplifier.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The LMH6551 is a fully differential amplifier designed to provide low distortion amplification to wide bandwidth
differential signals. The LMH6551, though fully integrated for ultimate balance and distortion performance,
functionally provides three channels. Two of these channels are the V+ and V− signal path channels, which
function similarly to inverting mode operational amplifiers and are the primary signal paths. The third channel is
the common-mode feedback circuit. This is the circuit that sets the output common mode as well as driving the
V+ and V− outputs to be equal magnitude and opposite phase, even when only one of the two input channels is
driven. The common-mode feedback circuit allows single-ended to differential operation.
The LMH6551 is a voltage feedback amplifier with gain set by external resistors. Output common-mode voltage
is set by the VCM pin. This pin should be driven by a low impedance reference and should be bypassed to ground
with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. Any signal coupling into the VCM will be passed along to the output and will
reduce the dynamic range of the amplifier.

9.2.1.1 Design Requirements
Applications using fully differential amplifiers have several requirements. The main requirements are high linearity
and good signal amplitude. Linearity is accomplished by using well matched feedback and gain set resistors as
well as an appropriate supply voltage. The signal amplitude can be tailored by using an appropriate gain. In this
design, the gain is set for a gain of 2 (Rf=500/ RG=250) and the distortion criteria is better than -90 dBc at a
frequency of 5 Mhz for HD2 and HD3. The supply voltage is set for ±5 V and the output common mode is 0 V.
9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.1.2.1 Fully Differential Operation
The LMH6551 will perform best when used with split supplies and in a fully differential configuration. See
Figure 23 and Figure 24 for recommend circuits.

Typical Applications (continued)
The circuit shown in Figure 23 is a typical fully differential application as might be used to drive an ADC. In this
circuit closed loop gain, (AV) = VOUT/ VIN = RF/RG. For all the applications in this data sheet VIN is presumed to be
the voltage presented to the circuit by the signal source. For differential signals this will be the difference of the
signals on each input (which will be double the magnitude of each individual signal), while in single-ended inputs
it will just be the driven input signal.
The resistors RO help keep the amplifier stable when presented with a load CL as is typical in an analog to digital
converter (ADC). When fed with a differential signal, the LMH6551 provides excellent distortion, balance and
common-mode rejection provided the resistors RF, RG and RO are well matched and strict symmetry is observed
in board layout. With a DC CMRR of over 80dB, the DC and low frequency CMRR of most circuits will be
dominated by the external resistors and board trace resistance. At higher frequencies board layout symmetry
becomes a factor as well. Precision resistors of at least 0.1% accuracy are recommended and careful board
layout will also be required.

Figure 24. Fully Differential Cable Driver
With up to 15 VPP differential output voltage swing and 80 mA of linear drive current the LMH6551 makes an
excellent cable driver as shown in Figure 24. The LMH6551 is also suitable for driving differential cables from a
single-ended source.
The LMH6551 requires supply bypassing capacitors as shown in Figure 25 and Figure 26. The 0.01 µF and 0.1
µF capacitors should be leadless SMT ceramic capacitors and should be no more than 3 mm from the supply
pins. The SMT capacitors should be connected directly to a ground plane. Thin traces or small vias will reduce
the effectiveness of bypass capacitors. Also shown in both figures is a capacitor from the VCM pin to ground. The
VCM pin is a high impedance input to a buffer which sets the output common-mode voltage. Any noise on this
input is transferred directly to the output. Output common-mode noise will result in loss of dynamic range,
degraded CMRR, degraded Balance and higher distortion. The VCM pin should be bypassed even if the pin in not
used. There is an internal resistive divider on chip to set the output common-mode voltage to the mid point of the
supply pins. The impedance looking into this pin is approximately 25 kΩ. If a different output common-mode
voltage is desired drive this pin with a clean, accurate voltage reference.

9.2.1.2.2 Capacitive Drive
As noted in Driving Analog-to-Digital Converters, capacitive loads should be isolated from the amplifier output
with small valued resistors. This is particularly the case when the load has a resistive component that is 500 Ω or
higher. A typical ADC has capacitive components of around 10 pF and the resistive component could be 1000 Ω
or higher. If driving a transmission line, such as 50-Ω coaxial or 100-Ω twisted pair, using matching resistors will
be sufficient to isolate any subsequent capacitance. For other applications see Figure 28 and Figure 4 in Typical
Performance Characteristics.
9.2.1.3 Application Curves
Many application circuits will have capacitive loading. As shown in Figure 4, amplifier bandwidth is reduced with
increasing capacitive load, so parasitic capacitance should be strictly limited.
In order to guarantee stability resistance should be added between the capacitive load and the amplifier output
pins. The value of the resistor is dependent on the amount of capacitive load as shown in Figure 5. This resistive
value is a suggestion. System testing will be required to determine the optimal value. Using a smaller resistor will
retain more system bandwidth at the expense of overshoot and ringing, while larger values of resistance will
reduce overshoot but will also reduce system bandwidth.

9.2.2 Single-Ended Input to Differential Output
The LMH6551 provides excellent performance as an active balun transformer. Figure 29 shows a typical
application where an LMH6551 is used to produce a differential signal from a single-ended source.
In single-ended input operation the output common-mode voltage is set by the VCM pin as in fully differential
mode. Also, in this mode the common-mode feedback circuit must recreate the signal that is not present on the
unused differential input pin. Figure 22 is the measurement of the effectiveness of this process. The commonmode feedback circuit is responsible for ensuring balanced output with a single-ended input. Balance error is
defined as the amount of input signal that couples into the output common mode. It is measured as the
undesired output common-mode swing divided by the signal on the input. Balance error can be caused by either
a channel to channel gain error, or phase error. Either condition will produce a common-mode shift. Figure 22
measures the balance error with a single-ended input as that is the most demanding mode of operation for the
amplifier.
Supply and VCM pin bypassing are also critical in this mode of operation. See the above section on Fully
Differential Operation for bypassing recommendations and also see Figure 25 and Figure 26 for recommended
supply bypassing configurations.

9.2.3 Single Supply Operation
The input stage of the LMH6551 has a built in offset of 0.7 V towards the lower supply to accommodate single
supply operation with single-ended inputs. As shown in Figure 29, the input common-mode voltage is less than
the output common voltage. It is set by current flowing through the feedback network from the device output. The
input common-mode range of 0.4 V to 3.2 V places constraints on gain settings. Possible solutions to this
limitation include AC coupling the input signal, using split power supplies and limiting stage gain. AC coupling
with single supply is shown in Figure 30.
In Figure 29 closed loop gain = VO / VI ≊ RF / RG, where VI =VS / 2, as long as RM << RG. Note that in singleended to differential operation VI is measured single-ended while VO is measured differentially. This means that
gain is really 1/2 or 6 dB less when measured on either of the output pins separately. Additionally, note that the
input signal at RT (labeled as VI) is 1/2 of VS when RT is chosen to match RS to RIN.

9.2.4 Driving Analog-to-Digital Converters
Analog-to-digital converters (ADC) present challenging load conditions. They typically have high-impedance
inputs with large and often variable capacitive components. As well, there are usually current spikes associated
with switched capacitor or sample and hold circuits. Figure 31 shows a typical circuit for driving an ADC. The two
56-Ω resistors serve to isolate the capacitive loading of the ADC from the amplifier and ensure stability. In
addition, the resistors form part of a low pass filter which helps to provide anti alias and noise reduction
functions. The two 39-pF capacitors help to smooth the current spikes associated with the internal switching
circuits of the ADC and also are a key component in the low pass filtering of the ADC input. In the circuit of
Figure 31the cutoff frequency of the filter is 1/ (2*π*56 Ω *(39 pF + 14pF)) = 53 MHz (which is slightly less than
the sampling frequency). Note that the ADC input capacitance must be factored into the frequency response of
the input filter, and that being a differential input the effective input capacitance is double. Also as shown in
Figure 31 the input capacitance to many ADCs is variable based on the clock cycle. See the data sheet for your
particular ADC for details.

The amplifier and ADC should be located as closely together as possible. Both devices require that the filter
components be in close proximity to them. The amplifier needs to have minimal parasitic loading on the output
traces and the ADC is sensitive to high frequency noise that may couple in on its input lines. Some high
performance ADCs have an input stage that has a bandwidth of several times its sample rate. The sampling
process results in all input signals presented to the input stage mixing down into the Nyquist range (DC to Fs/2).
See AN-236 for more details on the subsampling process and the requirements this imposes on the filtering
necessary in your system.

Typical Applications (continued)
9.2.5 Using Transformers
Transformers are useful for impedance transformation as well as for single to differential, and differential to
single-ended conversion. A transformer can be used to step up the output voltage of the amplifier to drive very
high impedance loads as shown in Figure 32. Figure 34 shows the opposite case where the output voltage is
stepped down to drive a low-impedance load.
Transformers have limitations that must be considered before choosing to use one. Compared to a differential
amplifier, the most serious limitations of a transformer are the inability to pass DC and balance error (which
causes distortion and gain errors). For most applications the LMH6551 will have adequate output swing and drive
current and a transformer will not be desirable. Transformers are used primarily to interface differential circuits to
50-Ω single-ended test equipment to simplify diagnostic testing.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The LMH6551 can be used with any combination of positive and negative power supplies as long as the
combined supply voltage is between 4.5 V and 12 V. The LMH6551 will provide best performance when the
output voltage is set at the mid supply voltage, and when the total supply voltage is between 9 V and 12 V.
When selecting a supply voltage that is less than 9 V, it is important to consider both the input common-mode
voltage range as well as the output voltage range.
Power supply bypassing as shown in Figure 25 and Figure 26 is important and power supply regulation should
be within 5% or better when using a supply voltage near the edges of the operating range.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
The LMH6551 is a very high performance amplifier. In order to get maximum benefit from the differential circuit
architecture, board layout and component selection is very critical. The circuit board should have a low
inductance ground plane and well bypassed broad supply lines. External components should be leadless surface
mount types. The feedback network and output matching resistors should be composed of short traces and
precision resistors (0.1%). The output matching resistors should be placed within 3-4 mm of the amplifier as
should the supply bypass capacitors. The LMH730154 evaluation board is an example of good layout
techniques.
The LMH6551 is sensitive to parasitic capacitances on the amplifier inputs and to a lesser extent on the outputs
as well. Ground and power plane metal should be removed from beneath the amplifier and from beneath RF and
RG.
With any differential signal path symmetry is very important. Even small amounts of asymmetry will contribute to
distortion and balance errors.
Texas Instruments offers evaluation board(s) to aid in device testing and characterization and as a guide for
proper layout. Generally, a good high frequency layout will keep power supply and ground traces away from the
inverting input and output pins. Parasitic capacitances on these nodes to ground will cause frequency response
peaking and possible circuit oscillations.

11.3 Power Dissipation
The LMH6551 is optimized for maximum speed and performance in the small form factor of the standard SOIC
package, and is essentially a dual channel amplifier. To ensure maximum output drive and highest performance,
thermal shutdown is not provided. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to make sure that the TJMAXof 150°C is
never exceeded due to the overall power dissipation.
Follow these steps to determine the Maximum power dissipation for the LMH6551:
1. Calculate the quiescent (no-load) power:
PAMP = ICC* (VS)
where
VS = V+ - V−
•
(1)
Be sure to include any current through the feedback network if VOCM is not mid rail.
2. Calculate the RMS power dissipated in each of the output stages:
PD (rms) = rms ((VS - V+OUT) * I+OUT) + rms ((VS − V−OUT) * I−OUT)
where
•
VOUT and IOUT are the voltage and the current measured at the output pins of the differential amplifier as if they
were single-ended amplifiers and VS is the total supply voltage
(2)
3. Calculate the total RMS power:
PT = PAMP + PD.
(3)
The maximum power that the LMH6551 package can dissipate at a given temperature can be derived with the
following equation:
PMAX = (150° – TAMB)/ θJA
where
•
•
•
TAMB = Ambient temperature (°C)
θJA = Thermal resistance, from junction to ambient, for a given package (°C/W)
For the SOIC package θJA is 150°C/W.
(4)
NOTE
If VCM is not 0 V then there will be quiescent current flowing in the feedback network. This
current should be included in the thermal calculations and added into the quiescent power
dissipation of the amplifier.
11.4 ESD Protection
The LMH6551 is protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD) on all pins. The LMH6551 will survive 2000 V
Human Body model and 200 V Machine model events. Under normal operation the ESD diodes have no effect
on circuit performance. There are occasions, however, when the ESD diodes will be evident. If the LMH6551 is
driven by a large signal while the device is powered down the ESD diodes will conduct. The current that flows
through the ESD diodes will either exit the chip through the supply pins or will flow through the device, hence it is
possible to power up a chip with a large signal applied to the input pins.
