description
The THS6042/3 is a high-speed line driver ideal for driving signals from the remote terminal to the central office
in asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL) applications. It can operate from a ±12-V supply voltage while
drawing only 8.2 mA of supply current per channel. It offers low –79 dBc total harmonic distortion driving a 100-Ω
load (2 Vpp). The THS6042/3 offers a high 43-Vpp differential output swing across a 200-Ω load from a ±12-V
supply. The THS6043 features a low-power shutdown mode, consuming only 300 µA quiescent current per
channel. The THS6042/3 is packaged in standard SOIC, SOIC PowerPAD, and TSSOP PowerPAD packages.

† Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTE 1: The THS6042 and THS6043 may incorporate a PowerPAD on the underside of the chip. This acts as a heatsink and must be connected
to a thermally dissipating plane for proper power dissipation. Failure to do so may result in exceeding the maximum junction temperature
which could permanently damage the device. See TI Technical Brief SLMA002 for more information about utilizing the PowerPAD
thermally enhanced package.

350 mA, ±12 V ADSL CPE LINE DRIVERS
SLOS264G – MARCH 2000 – REVISED DECEMBER 2001
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The THS6042/3 contain two independent operational amplifiers. These amplifiers are current feedback
topology amplifiers made for high-speed operation. They have been specifically designed to deliver the full
power requirements of ADSL and therefore can deliver output currents of at least 230 mA at full output voltage.
The THS6042/3 are fabricated using the Texas Instruments 30-V complementary bipolar process, HVBiCOM.
This process provides excellent isolation and high slew rates that result in the device’s excellent crosstalk and
extremely low distortion.
ADSL
The THS6042/3 were primarily designed as line drivers for ADSL (asymmetrical digital subscriber line). The
driver output stage has been sized to provide full ADSL power levels of 13 dBm onto the telephone lines.
Although actual driver output peak voltages and currents vary with each particular ADSL application, the
THS6042/3 are specified for a minimum full output current of 230 mA at ±6 V and 300 mA at the full output
voltage of ±12 V. This performance meets the demanding needs of ADSL at the client side end of the telephone
line. A typical ADSL schematic is shown in Figure 37.
The ADSL transmit band consists of 255 separate carrier frequencies each with its own modulation and
amplitude level. With such an implementation, it is imperative that signals put onto the telephone line have as
low a distortion as possible. This is because any distortion either interferes directly with other ADSL carrier
frequencies or creates intermodulation products that interfere with other ADSL carrier frequencies.
The THS6042/3 have been specifically designed for ultra low distortion by careful circuit implementation and
by taking advantage of the superb characteristics of the complementary bipolar process. Driver single-ended
distortion measurements are shown in Figures 7 – 15. In the differential driver configuration, the second order
harmonics tend to cancel out. Thus, the dominant total harmonic distortion (THD) is primarily due to the third
order harmonics. Additionally, distortion should be reduced as the feedback resistance drops. This is because
the bandwidth of the amplifier increases, which allows the amplifier to react faster to any nonlinearities in the
closed-loop system. Another significant point is the fact that distortion decreases as the impedance load
increases. This is because the output resistance of the amplifier becomes less significant as compared to the
output load resistance.
Even though the THS6042/3 are designed to drive ADSL signals that have a maximum bandwidth of 1.1 MHz,
reactive loading from the transformer can cause some serious issues. Most transformers have a resonance
peak typically occurring from 20 MHz up to 150 MHz depending on the manufacturer and construction
technique. This resonance peak can cause some serious issues with the line driver amplifier such as small
high-frequency oscillations, increased current consumption, and/or ringing. Although the series termination
resistor helps isolate the transformer’s resonance from the line-driver amplifier, additional means may be
necessary to eliminate the effects of a reactive load. The simplest way is to add a snubber network, also known
as a zoebel network, in parallel with the transformer as shown by R(SNUB) and C(SNUB) in Figure 36. At high
frequencies, where the transformer’s impedance becomes very high at its resonance frequency (ex: 1 kΩ @
100 MHz), the snubber provides a resistive load to the circuit. The value for R(SNUB) should initially be set to
the impedance presented by the transformer within its pass-band. An example of this would be to use a 100-Ω
resistor for a 1:1 transformer or a 25-Ω resistor for a 1:2 transformer. The value for C(SNUB) should be chosen
such that the –3 dB frequency is about 5 times less than the resonance frequency. For example,if the resonance
frequency is at 100 MHz, the impedance of C(SNUB) should be equal to R(SNUB) at 20 MHz. This leads to a value
of C(SNUB) = 1 / (2 π f R(SNUB)), or approximately 82 pF. This should only be used as a starting point. The final
values will be dictated by actual circuit testing.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
ADSL (continued)
One problem in the ADSL CPE area is noise. It is imperative that signals received off the telephone line have
as high a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as possible. This is because of the numerous sources of interference on
the line. The best way to accomplish this high SNR is to have a low-noise receiver such as the THS6062 or
OPA2822 on the front-end. Even if the receiver has very low noise characteristics, noise could be dominated
by the line driver amplifier. The THS6042/3 were primarily designed to circumvent this issue.
The ADSL standard, ANSI T1.413, stipulates a noise power spectral density of –140 dBm/Hz, which is
equivalent to 31.6 nV/√Hz for a 100-Ω system. Although many amplifiers can reach this level of performance,
actual ADSL system testing has indicated that the noise power spectral density may be required to have ≤ –150
dBm/Hz, or ≤ 10 nV/√Hz. With a transformer ratio of 1:2, this number reduces to less than 5 nV/√Hz. The
THS6042/3, with an equivalent input noise of 2.2 nV/√Hz, is an excellent choice for this application. Coupled
with a low 2.1 pA/√Hz noninverting current noise, a very low 11 pA/√Hz inverting current noise, and low value
resistors, the THS6042/3 ensures that the received signal SNR is as high as possible.

noise calculations and noise figure
Noise can cause errors on very small signals. This is especially true for the amplifying small signals. The noise
model for current feedback amplifiers (CFB) is the same as voltage feedback amplifiers (VFB). The only
difference between the two is that the CFB amplifiers generally specify different current noise parameters for
each input, while VFB amplifiers usually only specify one noise current parameter. The noise model is shown
in Figure 38. This model includes all of the noise sources as follows:
•

•
en = Amplifier internal voltage noise (nV/√Hz)
IN+ = Noninverting current noise (pA/√Hz)
IN– = Inverting current noise (pA/√Hz)

As the previous equations show, to keep noise at a minimum, small value resistors should be used. As the
closed-loop gain is increased (by reducing RG), the input noise is reduced considerably because of the parallel
resistance term. This leads to the general conclusion that the most dominant noise sources are the source
resistor (RS) and the internal amplifier noise voltage (en). Because noise is summed in a root-mean-squares
method, noise sources smaller than 25% of the largest noise source can be effectively ignored. This can greatly
simplify the formula and make noise calculations much easier to calculate.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
device protection features
The THS6042/3 have two built-in features that protect the devices against improper operation. The first
protection mechanism is output current limiting. Should the output become shorted to ground, the output current
is automatically limited to the value given in the data sheet. While this protects the output against excessive
current, the device internal power dissipation increases due to the high current and large voltage drop across
the output transistors. Continuous output shorts are not recommended and could damage the device.
The second built-in protection feature is thermal shutdown. Should the internal junction temperature rise above
approximately 180_C, the device automatically shuts down. Such a condition could exist with improper heat
sinking or if the output is shorted to ground. When the abnormal condition is fixed, the internal thermal shutdown
circuit automatically turns the device back on.
thermal information – PowerPAD
The THS6042/3 are available packaged in thermally-enhanced PowerPAD packages. These packages are
constructed using a downset leadframe upon which the die is mounted [see Figure 40(a) and Figure 40(b)]. This
arrangement results in the lead frame being exposed as a thermal pad on the underside of the package [see
Figure 40(c)]. Because this thermal pad has direct thermal contact with the die, excellent thermal performance
can be achieved by providing a good thermal path away from the thermal pad.
The PowerPAD package allows for both assembly and thermal management in one manufacturing operation.
During the surface-mount solder operation (when the leads are being soldered), the thermal pad can also be
soldered to a copper area underneath the package. Through the use of thermal paths within this copper area,
heat can be conducted away from the package into either a ground plane or other heat dissipating device. This
is discussed in more detail in the PCB design considerations section of this document.
The PowerPAD package represents a breakthrough in combining the small area and ease of assembly of
surface mount with the, heretofore, awkward mechanical methods of heatsinking.

PCB design considerations
Proper PCB design techniques in two areas are important to assure proper operation of the THS6042/3. These
areas are high-speed layout techniques and thermal-management techniques. Because the devices are
high-speed parts, the following guidelines are recommended.
D Ground plane – It is essential that a ground plane be used on the board to provide all components with a
low inductive ground connection. Although a ground connection directly to a terminal of the THS6042/3 is
not necessarily required, it is highly recommended that the thermal pad of the package be tied to ground.
This serves two functions. It provides a low inductive ground to the device substrate to minimize internal
crosstalk and it provides the path for heat removal.
D Input stray capacitance – To minimize potential problems with amplifier oscillation, the capacitance at the
inverting input of the amplifiers must be kept to a minimum. To do this, PCB trace runs to the inverting input
must be as short as possible, the ground plane must be removed under any etch runs connected to the
inverting input, and external components should be placed as close as possible to the inverting input. This
is especially true in the noninverting configuration. An example of this can be seen in Figure 41, which shows
what happens when a 2.2-pF capacitor is added to the inverting input terminal in the noninverting
configuration. The bandwidth increases dramatically at the expense of peaking. This is because some of
the error current is flowing through the stray capacitor instead of the inverting node of the amplifier. While
the device is in the inverting mode, stray capacitance at the inverting input has a minimal effect. This is
because the inverting node is at a virtual ground and the voltage does not fluctuate nearly as much as in
the noninverting configuration. This can be seen in Figure 42, where a 22-pF capacitor adds only 0.9 dB
of peaking. In general, as the gain of the system increases, the output peaking due to this capacitor
decreases. While this can initally appear to be a faster and better system, overshoot and ringing are more
likely to occur under fast transient conditions. So, proper analysis of adding a capacitor to the inverting input
node should always be performed for stable operation.

PCB design considerations (continued)
D Proper power supply decoupling – Use a minimum of a 6.8-µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1-µF
ceramic capacitor on each supply terminal. It may be possible to share the tantalum among several
amplifiers depending on the application, but a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor should always be used on the
supply terminal of every amplifier. In addition, the 0.1-µF capacitor should be placed as close as possible
to the supply terminal. As this distance increases, the inductance in the connecting etch makes the capacitor
less effective. The designer should strive for distances of less than 0.1 inches between the device power
terminal and the ceramic capacitors.
D Differential power supply decoupling – The THS6042/3 were designed for driving low-impedance
differential signals. The 50-Ω load which each amplifier drives causes large amounts of currents to flow from
amplifier to amplifier. Power supply decoupling for differential current signals must be accounted for to
ensure low distortion of the THS6042/3. By simply connecting a 0.1-µF to 1-µF ceramic capacitor from the
+VCC pin to the –VCC pin, differential current loops will be minimized (see Figure 37). This will help keep
the THS6042/3 operating at peak performance.
Because of its power dissipation, proper thermal management of the THS6042/3 is required. Even though the
THS6042 and THS6043 PowerPADs are different, the general methodology is the same. Although there are
many ways to properly heatsink these devices, the following steps illustrate one recommended approach for
a multilayer PCB with an internal ground plane. Refer to Figure 43 for the following steps.
Thermal pad area (0.15 x 0.17) with 6 vias
(Via diameter = 13 mils)
Figure 43. THS6043 PowerPAD PCB Etch and Via Pattern – Minimum Requirements
1. Place 6 holes in the area of the thermal pad. These holes should be 13 mils in diameter. They are kept small
so that solder wicking through the holes is not a problem during reflow.
2. Additional vias may be placed anywhere along the thermal plane outside of the thermal pad area. This will
help dissipate the heat generated from the THS6042/3. These additional vias may be larger than the 13 mil
diameter vias directly under the thermal pad. They can be larger because they are not in the thermal-pad
area to be soldered, therefore, wicking is generally not a problem.
3. Connect all holes to the internal ground plane.
4. When connecting these holes to the ground plane, do not use the typical web or spoke via connection
methodology. Web connections have a high thermal resistance connection that is useful for slowing the heat
transfer during soldering operations. This makes the soldering of vias that have plane connections easier.
However, in this application, low thermal resistance is desired for the most efficient heat transfer. Therefore,
the holes under the THS6042/3 package should make their connection to the internal ground plane with
a complete connection around the entire circumference of the plated through hole.
5. The top-side solder mask should leave exposed the terminals of the package and the thermal pad area with
its 6 holes. The bottom-side solder mask should cover the 6 holes of the thermal pad area. This eliminates
the solder from being pulled away from the thermal pad area during the reflow process.

6. Apply solder paste to the exposed thermal pad area and all of the operational amplifier terminals.
7. With these preparatory steps in place, the THS6042/3 is simply placed in position and run through the solder
reflow operation as any standard surface-mount component. This results in a part that is properly installed.
The actual thermal performance achieved with the THS6042/3 in their PowerPAD packages depends on the
application. In the previous example, if the size of the internal ground plane is approximately 3 inches × 3 inches,
then the expected thermal coefficient, θJA, is about 95°C/W for the SOIC–8 (D) package, 45.8°C/W for the DDA
package, 66.6°C/W for the SOIC–14 (D) package, and 37.5°C/W for the PWP package. Although the maximum
recommended junction temperature (TJ) is listed as 150°C, performance at this elevated temperature will suffer.
To ensure optimal performance, the junction temperature should be kept below 125°C. Above this temperature,
distortion will tend to increase. Figure 44 shows the recommended power dissipation with a junction
temperature of 125°C. If no solder is used to connect the PowerPAD to the PCB, the θJA will increase
dramatically with a vast reduction in power dissipation capability. For a given θJA and a maximum junction
temperature, the power dissipation is calculated by the following formula:

PCB design considerations (continued)
The next consideration is the package constraints. The two sources of heat within an amplifier are quiescent
power and output power. The designer should never forget about the quiescent heat generated within the
device, especially multiamplifier devices. Because these devices have linear output stages (Class-AB), most
of the heat dissipation is at low output voltages with high output currents. Figure 45 and Figure 46 show this
effect, along with the quiescent heat, with an ambient air temperature of 50°C. Obviously, as the ambient
temperature increases, the limit lines shown will drop accordingly. The area under each respective limit line is
considered the safe operating area. Any condition above this line will exceed the amplifier’s limits and failure
may result. When using VCC = ±6 V, there is generally not a heat problem, even with SOIC packages.

However, when using VCC = ±12 V, the SOIC package is severely limited in the amount of heat it can dissipate.
The other key factor when looking at these graphs is how the devices are mounted on the PCB. The PowerPAD
devices are extremely useful for heat dissipation. But, the device should always be soldered to a copper plane
to fully use the heat dissipation properties of the PowerPAD. The standard SOIC package, on the other hand,
is highly dependent on how it is mounted on the PCB. As more trace and copper area is placed around the
device, θJA decreases and the heat dissipation capability increases. The currents and voltages shown in these
graphs are for the total package.

recommended feedback and gain resistor values
As with all current feedback amplifiers, the bandwidth of the THS6042/3 is an inversely proportional function
of the value of the feedback resistor. This can be seen from Figures 1 to 6. The recommended resistors for the
optimum frequency response are shown in Table 1. These should be used as a starting point and once optimum
values are found, 1% tolerance resistors should be used to maintain frequency response characteristics.
Because there is a finite amount of output resistance of the operational amplifier, load resistance can play a
major part in frequency response. This is especially true with these drivers, which tend to drive low-impedance
loads. This can be seen in Figures 1–6. As the load resistance increases, the output resistance of the amplifier
becomes less dominant at high frequencies. To compensate for this, the feedback resistor may need to be
changed. For most applications, a feedback resistor value of 750 Ω is recommended, which is a good
compromise between bandwidth and phase margin that yields a very stable amplifier.

Consistent with current feedback amplifiers, increasing the gain is best accomplished by changing the gain
resistor, not the feedback resistor. This is because the bandwidth of the amplifier is dominated by the feedback
resistor value and internal dominant-pole capacitor. The ability to control the amplifier gain independently of the
bandwidth constitutes a major advantage of current feedback amplifiers over conventional voltage feedback
amplifiers. Therefore, once a frequency response is found suitable to a particular application, adjust the value
of the gain resistor to increase or decrease the overall amplifier gain.
Finally, it is important to realize the effects of the feedback resistance on distortion. Increasing the resistance
decreases the loop gain and may increase the distortion. Decreasing the feedback resistance too low may
increase the bandwidth, but an increase in the load on the output may cause distortion to increase instead of
decreasing. It is also important to know that decreasing load impedance increases total harmonic distortion
(THD). Typically, the third order harmonic distortion increases more than the second order harmonic distortion.
This is illustrated in Figure 10 to 12 and Figures 16 to 18.

shutdown control
The THS6043 is essentially the same amplifier as the THS6042. The only difference is the added flexibility of
a shutdown circuit. When the shutdown pin signal is low, the THS6043 is active. But, when a shutdown pin is
high (≥ 2 V), the THS6043 is turned off. The shutdown logic is not latched and should always have a signal
applied to it. To help ensure a fixed logic state, an internal 50 kΩ resistor to GND is utilized. An external resistor,
such as a 3.3 kΩ, to GND may be added to help improve noise immunity within harsh environments. If no
external resistor is utilized and SHDN pin is left unconnected, the THS6043 defaults to a power-on state. A
simplified circuit can be seen in Figure 47.

One aspect of the shutdown feature, which is often over-looked, is that the amplifier does not have a large output
impedance while in shutdown mode. This is due to the RF and RG resistors. This effect is true for any amplifier
connected as an amplifier with gains >1. The internal circuitry may be powered down and in a high-impedance
state, but the resistors are always there. This allows the signal to flow through these resistors and into the ground
connection. Figure 48 shows the results of the output impedance with no feedback resistor and a typically

driving a capacitive load
Driving capacitive loads with high performance amplifiers is not a problem as long as certain precautions are
taken. The first is to realize that the THS6042/3 has been internally compensated to maximize its bandwidth
and slew rate performance. When the amplifier is compensated in this manner, capacitive loading directly on
the output decreases the device’s phase margin leading to high frequency ringing or oscillations. Therefore, for
capacitive loads of greater than 5 pF, it is recommended that a resistor be placed in series with the output of
the amplifier, as shown in Figure 49. Keep in mind that stray capacitance on the output is also considered
capacitive loading, whether or not it is there on purpose. A minimum value of 5 Ω should work well for most
applications. In ADSL systems, setting the series resistor value to 12.4 Ω both isolates any capacitance loading
and provides the proper line impedance matching at the source end.

general configurations
A common error for the first-time CFB user is to create a unity gain buffer amplifier by shorting the output directly
to the inverting input. A CFB amplifier in this configuration oscillates and is not recommended. The THS6042/3,
like all CFB amplifiers, must have a feedback resistor for stable operation. Additionally, placing capacitors
directly from the output to the inverting input is not recommended. This is because, at high frequencies, a
capacitor has a very low impedance. This results in an unstable amplifier and should not be considered when
using a current-feedback amplifier. Because of this, integrators and simple low-pass filters, which are easily
implemented on a VFB amplifier, have to be designed slightly differently. If filtering is required, simply place an
RC-filter at the noninverting terminal of the operational-amplifier (see Figure 50).

general configurations (continued)
If a multiple pole filter is required, the use of a Sallen-Key filter can work very well with CFB amplifiers. This is
because the filtering elements are not in the negative feedback loop and stability is not compromised. Because
of their high slew-rates and high bandwidths, CFB amplifiers can create very accurate signals and help minimize
distortion. An example is shown in Figure 51.
