The EL2227C is a dual voltage feedback operational amplifier designed especially for DMT ADSL and other applications requiring very low voltage and current noise. It also features low distortion while drawing moderately low supply current and is built on Elantec's proprietary high-speed complementary bipolar process. The EL2227C use a classical voltage-feedback topology which allows them to be used in a variety of applications where current-feedback amplifiers are not appropriate because of restrictions placed upon the feedback element used with the amplifier. The conventional topology of the EL2227C allows, for example, a capacitor to be placed in the feedback path, making it an excellent Driver Input ADSL CPE Applications The low noise EL2227C amplifier is specifically designed for the dual differential receiver amplifier function with ADSL transceiver hybrids as well as other low-noise amplifier applications. A typical ADSL CPE line interface circuit is shown in Figure 1. The EL2227C is used in receiving DMT down stream signal. With careful transceiver hybrid design and the EL2227C 1.9nV/√Hz voltage noise and 1.2pA/√Hz current noise performance, -140dBm/Hz system background noise performance can be easily achieved.

Typical Line Interface Connection 12 Disable Function θJA =Thermal Resistance of the Package The EL2227C is in the standard dual amplifier package without the enable/disable function. A simple way to implement the enable/disable function is depicted below. When disabled, both the positive and negative supply voltages are disconnected (see Figure 2 below.) PDMAX =Maximum Power Dissipation of 1 Amplifier VS =Supply Voltage IMAX =Maximum Supply Current of 1 Amplifier VOUTMAX=Maximum Output Voltage Swing of the Application +12V 1k RL =Load Resistance 1µF 10k To serve as a guide for the user, we can calculate maximum allowable supply voltages for the example of the video cable-driver below since we know that TJMAX = 150°C, TMAX = 75°C, ISMAX = 9.5mA, and the package θJAs are shown in Table 1. If we assume (for this example) that we are driving a back-terminated video cable, then the maximum average value (over duty-cycle) of VOUTMAX is 1.4V, and RL = 150Ω, giving the results seen in Table 1. 10k 1k + - 1µF 4.7µF 1k 75k Table 1 Package θJA Max PDISS @ TMAX EL2227CS SO8 160°C/W 0.406W @ 85°C EL2227CY MSOP8 206°C/W 0.315W @ 85°C Part Power Dissipation With the wide power supply range and large output drive capability of the EL2227C, it is possible to exceed the 150°C maximum junction temperatures under certain load and power-supply conditions. It is therefore important to calculate the maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) for all applications to determine if power supply voltages, load conditions, or package type need to be modified for the EL2227C to remain in the safe operating area. These parameters are related as follows: Max VS Single-Supply Operation The EL2227C have been designed to have a wide input and output voltage range. This design also makes the EL2227C an excellent choice for single-supply operation. Using a single positive supply, the lower input voltage range is within 200mV of ground (RL = 500Ω), and the lower output voltage range is within 875mV of ground. Upper input voltage range reaches 3.6V, and output voltage range reaches 3.8V with a 5V supply and RL = 500Ω. This results in a 2.625V output swing on a single 5V supply. This wide output voltage range also allows single-supply operation with a supply voltage as high as 28V. T JMAX = T MAX + ( θ JA × PD MAXTOTAL ) where: PDMAXTOTAL is the sum of the maximum power dissipation of each amplifier in the package (PDMAX) PDMAX for each amplifier can be calculated as follows: Gain-Bandwidth Product and the -3dB Bandwidth V OUTMAX PD MAX = 2 × V S × I SMAX + ( V S – V OUTMAX ) × ---------------------------RL The EL2227C have a gain-bandwidth product of 137MHz while using only 5mA of supply current per amplifier. For gains greater than 2, their closed-loop ----3dB bandwidth is approximately equal to the gain- where: TMAX =Maximum Ambient Temperature 13 EL2227C EL2227C Dual Very Low Noise Amplifier EL2227C EL2227C Dual Very Low Noise Amplifier bandwidth product divided by the noise gain of the circuit. For gains less than 2, higher-order poles in the amplifiers' transfer function contribute to even higher closed loop bandwidths. For example, the EL2227C have a -3dB bandwidth of 115MHz at a gain of +2, dropping to 28MHz at a gain of +5. It is important to note that the EL2227C have been designed so that this “extra” bandwidth in low-gain applications does not come at the expense of stability. As seen in the typical performance curves, the EL2227C in a gain of +2 only exhibit 0.5dB of peaking with a 1000Ω load. Output Drive Capability The EL2227C have been designed to drive low impedance loads. They can easily drive 6VPP into a 500Ω load. This high output drive capability makes the EL2227C an ideal choice for RF, IF and video applications. Printed-Circuit Layout The EL2227C are well behaved, and easy to apply in most applications. However, a few simple techniques will help assure rapid, high quality results. As with any high-frequency device, good PCB layout is necessary for optimum performance. Ground-plane construction is highly recommended, as is good power supply bypassing. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is recommended for bypassing both supplies. Lead lengths should be as short as possible, and bypass capacitors should be as close to the device pins as possible. For good AC performance, parasitic capacitances should be kept to a minimum at both inputs and at the output. Resistor values should be kept under 5kΩ because of the RC time constants associated with the parasitic capacitance. Metal-film and carbon resistors are both acceptable, use of wire-wound resistors is not recommended because of their parasitic inductance. Similarly, capacitors should be low-inductance for best performance. 14 EL2227C EL2227C Dual Very Low Noise Amplifier General Disclaimer Specifications contained in this data sheet are in effect as of the publication date shown.
