Low Cost, High Speed Differential Amplifier AD8132 Low power differential ADC drivers Differential gain and differential filtering Video line drivers Differential in/out level shifting Single-ended input to differential output drivers Active transformers GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD8132 is a low cost differential or single-ended input to differential output amplifier with resistor set gain. The AD8132 is a major advancement over op amps for driving differential input ADCs or for driving signals over long lines. The AD8132 has a unique internal feedback feature that provides output gain and phase matching balanced to −68 dB at 10 MHz, suppressing harmonics and reducing radiated EMI. Manufactured using the next generation of Analog Devices, Inc.’s XFCB bipolar process, the AD8132 has a −3 dB bandwidth of 350 MHz and delivers a differential signal with −99 dBc SFDR at 5 MHz, despite its low cost. The AD8132 eliminates the need for a transformer with high performance ADCs, preserving the low frequency and dc information. The common-mode level of the differential output is adjustable by applying a voltage on the VOCM pin, easily level shifting the input signals for driving single-supply ADCs. Fast overload recovery preserves sampling accuracy. –IN 1 AD8132 8 +IN VOCM 2 7 NC V+ 3 6 V– +OUT 4 5 –OUT NC = NO CONNECT Figure 1. The AD8132 is also used as a differential driver for the transmission of high speed signals over low cost twisted pair or coaxial cables. The feedback network can be adjusted to boost the high frequency components of the signal. The AD8132 is used for either analog or digital video signals or for other high speed data transmission. The AD8132 is capable of driving either a Category 3 or Category 5 twisted pair or coaxial cable with minimal line attenuation. The AD8132 has considerable cost and performance improvements over discrete line driver solutions. Differential signal processing reduces the effects of ground noise that plagues ground-referenced systems. The AD8132 can be used for differential signal processing (gain and filtering) throughout a signal chain, easily simplifying the conversion between differential and single-ended components. The AD8132 is available in both SOIC_N and MSOP packages for operation over the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. 6 VS = ±5V G = +1 VO, dm = 2V p-p RL, dm = 499Ω 3 0 –3 –6 –9 –12 1 10 100 FREQUENCY (MHz) 1k 01035-002 APPLICATIONS PIN CONFIGURATION GAIN (dB) High speed 350 MHz, −3 dB bandwidth 1200 V/μs slew rate Resistor set gain Internal common-mode feedback Improved gain and phase balance −68 dB @ 10 MHz Separate input to set the common-mode output voltage Low distortion: −99 dBc SFDR @ 5 MHz, 800 Ω load Low power: 10.7 mA @ 5 V Power supply range: +2.7 V to ±5.5 V 01035-001 FEATURES Figure 2.

This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. THERMAL RESISTANCE θJA is specified for the worst-case conditions, that is, θJA is specified for the device soldered in a circuit board in still air. 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 for all outputs. The quiescent power is the voltage between the supply pins (VS) times the quiescent current (IS). The load current consists of the differential and common-mode currents flowing to the load, as well as currents flowing through the external feedback networks and the internal common-mode feedback loop. The internal resistor tap used in the common-mode feedback loop places a 1 kΩ differential load on the output. Consider rms voltages and currents when dealing with ac signals. Airflow reduces θJA. In addition, more metal directly in contact with the package leads from metal traces through holes, ground, and power planes reduces the θJA. Figure 3 shows the maximum safe power dissipation in the package vs. the ambient temperature for the 8-lead SOIC_N (θJA = 121°C/W) and MSOP (θJA = 142°C/W) packages on a JEDEC standard 4-layer board. θJA values are approximations. 1.75 θJA 121 142 Unit °C/W °C/W Maximum Power Dissipation The maximum safe power dissipation in the AD8132 packages is limited by the associated rise in junction temperature (TJ) on the die. At approximately 150°C (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 AD8132. Exceeding a junction temperature of 150°C for an extended period can result in changes in the silicon devices, potentially causing failure. ESD CAUTION Rev.

Differential and Common-Mode Gains DEFINITION OF TERMS Differential Voltage The difference between two node voltages. For example, the output differential voltage (or equivalently output differentialmode voltage) is defined as VOUT, dm = (V+OUT − V−OUT) where V+OUT and V−OUT refer to the voltages at the +OUT and −OUT terminals with respect to a common reference. Common-Mode Voltage The average of two node voltages. The output common-mode voltage is defined as VOUT, cm = (V+OUT + V−OUT)/2 RF AD8132 VOCM –DIN –OUT +IN RG –IN RF RL, dm VOUT, cm 0 (by design) 0 (by design) 1 (by design) As listed in Table 10, the differential output (VOUT, dm) is equal to the differential input voltage (VIN, dm) times RF/RG. In this case, it does not matter if both differential inputs are driven, or only one output is driven and the other is tied to a reference voltage, such as ground. As seen from the two zero entries in the VOUT, dm column, neither of the common-mode inputs has any effect on this gain. The gain from VIN, cm to VOUT, dm directly depends on the matching of the feedback networks. The analogous term for this transfer function (used in conventional op amps) is common-mode rejecttion ratio (CMRR). Therefore, if it has a high CMRR, the feedback ratios must be well matched. VO, dm +OUT CF 01035-064 RG VOUT, dm RF/RG 0 0 The gain from VIN, dm to VOUT, cm is 0, and first-order does not depend on the ratio matching of the feedback networks. The common-mode feedback loop within the AD8132 provides a corrective action to keep this gain term minimized. The term balance error describes the degree that this gain term differs from 0. CF +DIN Input VIN, dm VIN, cm VOCM Figure 64. Circuit Definitions BASIC CIRCUIT OPERATION One of the more useful and easy to understand ways to use the AD8132 is to provide two equal-ratio feedback networks. To match the effect of parasitics, comprise these networks of two equal-value feedback resistors (RF) and two equal-value gain resistors (RG). This circuit is shown in Figure 64. Like a conventional op amp, the AD8132 has two differential inputs that can be driven with both differential-mode input voltage (VIN, dm) and common-mode input voltage (VIN, cm). There is another input (VOCM) that is not present on conventional op amps, but provides another input to consider on the AD8132. It is totally separate from the previous inputs. There are two complementary outputs whose response can be defined by a differential-mode output (VOUT, dm) and a commonmode output (VOUT, cm). Table 10 indicates the gain from any type of input to either type of output. The gain from VIN, cm to VOUT, cm is ideally 0 and is first-order independent of the feedback ratio matching. As in the case of VIN, dm to VOUT, cm, the common-mode feedback loop keeps this term minimized. The gain from VOCM to VOUT, dm is ideally 0 when the feedback ratios are matched only. The amount of differential output signal that is created by varying VOCM is related to the degree of mismatch in the feedback networks. VOCM controls the output common-mode voltage VOUT, cm with a unity-gain transfer function. With equal-ratio feedback networks (as previously assumed), its effect on each output is the same, that is the gain from VOCM to VOUT, dm is 0. If not driven, the output common-mode voltage is set with an internal voltage divider to a level that is nominally midsupply. It is recommended that a 0.1 μF bypass capacitor be connected to VOCM. When unequal feedback ratios are used, the two gains associated with VOUT, dm become nonzero. This significantly complicates the mathematical analysis along with any intuitive understanding of how the part operates. Rev. F | Page 20 of 32 AD8132 THEORY OF OPERATION The AD8132 differs from conventional op amps by the external presence of an additional input and output. The additional input, VOCM, controls the output common-mode voltage. The additional output is the analog complement of the single output of a conventional op amp. For its operation, the AD8132 uses two feedback loops as compared to the single loop of conventional op amps. Although this provides significant freedom to create various novel circuits, basic op amp theory can still be used to analyze the operation. One of the feedback loops controls the output common-mode voltage, VOUT, cm. Its input is VOCM (Pin 2) and the output is the common-mode, or average voltage, of the two differential outputs (+OUT and −OUT). The gain of this circuit is internally set to unity. When the AD8132 is operating in its linear region, this establishes one of the operational constraints: VOUT, cm = VOCM. The second feedback loop controls the differential operation. Similar to an op amp, the gain and gain shaping of the transfer function can be controlled by adding passive feedback networks. However, only one feedback network is required to close the loop and fully constrain the operation, but depending on the function desired, two feedback networks can be used. This is possible because there are two outputs that are each inverted with respect to the differential inputs. GENERAL USAGE OF THE AD8132 Several assumptions are made here for a first-order analysis; they are the typical assumptions used for the analysis of op amps: • The input bias currents are sufficiently small so they can be neglected. • The output impedances are arbitrarily low. • The open-loop gain is arbitrarily large, and drives the amplifier to a state where the input differential voltage is effectively 0. • Offset voltages are assumed to be 0. Though it is possible to operate the AD8132 with a purely differential input, many of its applications call for a circuit that has a single-ended input with a differential output. For a single-ended-to-differential circuit, the RG of the input that is not driven is tied to a reference voltage. This is ground. Other conditions are discussed in the following sections. In addition, the voltage at VOCM, and therefore VOUT, cm, is assumed to be ground. Figure 67 shows a generalized schematic of such a circuit using an AD8132 with two feedback paths. For each feedback network, a feedback factor can be defined as the fraction of the output signal that is fed back to the opposite sign input. These terms are β1 = RG1 (R G1 + R F1 ) β2 = RG2 (RG2 + R F2 ) The feedback factor, β1, is for the side that is driven, and the feedback factor, β2, is for the side that is tied to a reference voltage (ground). Note that each feedback factor can vary anywhere between 0 and 1. A single-ended-to-differential gain equation can be derived (this is true for all values of β1 and β2): G= 2 (1 − β1) (β1 + β2 ) This expression is not very intuitive, but some further examples can provide better understanding of its implications. One observation that can be made immediately is that a tolerance error in β1 does not have the same effect on gain as the same tolerance error in β2. DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER WITHOUT RESISTORS (HIGH INPUT IMPEDANCE INVERTING AMPLIFIER) The simplest closed-loop circuit that can be made does not require any resistors and is shown in Figure 70. In this circuit, β1 is equal to 0, and β2 is equal to 1. The gain is equal to 2. A more intuitive method to figure the gain is by simple inspection. +OUT is connected to −IN, whose voltage is equal to the voltage at +IN under equilibrium conditions. Thus, +VOUT is equal to VIN, and there is unity gain in this path. Because −OUT has to swing in the opposite direction from +OUT due to the common-mode constraint, its effect doubles the output signal and produces a gain of 2. One useful function that this circuit provides is a high input impedance inverter. If +OUT is ignored, there is a unity-gain, high input impedance amplifier formed from +IN to −OUT. Most traditional op amp inverters have relatively low input impedances, unless they are buffered with another amplifier. VOCM is assumed to be at midsupply. Because there is still the constraint that +VOUT must equal VIN, changing the VOCM voltage does not change +VOUT (equal to VIN). Therefore, the effect of changing VOCM must show up at −OUT. For example, if VOCM is raised by 1 V, then −VOUT must increase by 2 V. This makes VOUT, cm also increase by 1 V, because it is defined as the average of the two differential output voltages. This means that the gain from VOCM to the differential output is 2. Rev. F | Page 21 of 32 AD8132 OTHER β2 = 1 CIRCUITS The preceding simple configuration with β2 = 1 and its gain of 2 is the highest gain circuit that can be made under this condition. Since β1 was equal to 0, only higher β1 values are possible. The circuits with higher values of β1 have gains lower than 2. However, circuits with β1 equal to 1 are not practical because they have no effective input and result in a gain of 0. To increase β1 from 0, it is necessary to add two resistors in a feedback network. A generalized circuit that has β1 with a value higher than 0 is shown in Figure 69. A couple of different convenient gains that can be created are a gain of 1, when β1 is equal to 1/3, and a gain of 0.5, when β1 equals 0.6. With β2 equal to 1 in these circuits, VOCM serves as the reference voltage that measures the input voltage and the individual output voltages. In general, when VOCM is varied in circuits with unmatched feedback networks, a differential output signal is generated that is proportional to the applied VOCM voltage. With β2 equal to 0 in these circuits, the gain can theoretically be set to any value from close to 0 to infinity, just as it can with a conventional op amp in the inverting mode. However, practical real-world limitations and parasitics limit the range of acceptable gain to more modest values. β1 = 0 There is yet another class of circuits where there is no feedback from −OUT to +IN. This is the case where β1 = 0. The differential amplifier without a resistor described in the Differential Amplifier Without Resistors (High Input Impedance Inverting Amplifier) section meets this condition, but it was presented only with the condition that β2 = 1. Recall that this circuit had a gain equal to 2. If β2 decreases in this circuit from unity, a smaller part of +VOUT is fed back to −IN and the gain increases (see Figure 68). This circuit is very similar to a noninverting op amp configuration, except for the presence of the additional complementary output. Therefore, the overall gain is twice that of a noninverting op amp or 2 × (1 + RF2/RG2) or 2 × (1/β2). VARYING β2 Though the β2 = 1 circuit sets β2 to 1, another class of simple circuits can be made that sets β2 equal to 0. This means that there is no feedback from +OUT to −IN. This class of circuits is very similar to a conventional inverting op amp. However, the AD8132 circuits have an additional output and commonmode input that can be analyzed separately (see Figure 71). With −IN connected to ground, +IN becomes a virtual ground in the sense that the term is used for conventional op amps. Both inputs must maintain the same voltage for equilibrium operation; therefore, if one is set to ground, the other is driven to ground. The input impedance can also be seen to be equal to RG, just as in a conventional op amp. In this case, however, the positive input and negative output are used for the feedback network. Because a conventional op amp does not have a negative output, only its inverting input can be used for the feedback network. The AD8132 is symmetrical, therefore, the feedback network on either side can be used to produce the same results. Because +IN is a summing junction, by an analogy to conventional op amps, the gain from VIN to −OUT is −RF/RG. This holds true regardless of the voltage on VOCM, and since +OUT moves the same amount in the opposite direction from −OUT, the overall gain is −2(RF/RG). VOCM still governs VOUT, cm, so +OUT must be the only output that moves when VOCM is varied. Because VOUT, cm is the average of the two outputs, +OUT must move twice as far and in the same direction as VOCM to create the proper VOUT, cm. Therefore, the gain from VOCM to +OUT must be 2. Once again, varying VOCM does not affect both outputs in the same way; therefore, in addition to varying VOUT, cm with unity gain, there is also an effect on VOUT, dm by changing VOCM. ESTIMATING THE OUTPUT NOISE VOLTAGE Similar to the case of a conventional op amp, the differential output errors (noise and offset voltages) can be estimated by multiplying the input referred terms, at +IN and −IN, by the circuit noise gain.

One way to minimize this effect is to place a small capacitor across each of the feedback resistors. The added capacitance must be small to avoid destabilizing the amplifier. An alternative technique is to place a small resistor in series with the amplifier outputs, as shown in Figure 60. where VOND is the output differential noise and VNOCM is the input-referred voltage noise on VOCM. CALCULATING INPUT IMPEDANCE OF THE APPLICATION CIRCUIT The effective input impedance of a circuit, such as that in Figure 64, at +DIN and −DIN, depends on whether the amplifier is being driven by a single-ended or differential signal source. For balanced differential input signals, the input impedance (RIN, dm) between the inputs (+DIN and −DIN) is simply OPEN-LOOP GAIN AND PHASE Open-loop gain and phase plots are shown in Figure 65 and Figure 66. 60 RIN, dm ⎛ ⎞ ⎜ ⎟ RG ⎜ ⎟ = RF ⎜ ⎟ ⎜1 − 2 × (RG + RF ) ⎟⎠ ⎝ OPEN-LOOP GAIN (dB) In the case of a single-ended input signal (for example, if −DIN is grounded and the input signal is applied to +DIN), the input impedance becomes RL, dm = 2kΩ 50 R IN, dm = 2 × R G 40 30 20 10 0 –10 –20 0.1 The circuit input impedance 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 RG. 1 10 100 1000 FREQUENCY (MHz) 01035-083 VOND = 2 VNOCM ⎡ β1 − β2 ⎤ ⎢ ⎥ ⎢⎣ β1 + β2 ⎥⎦ offset values in the Specifications section assume the VOCM input is driven by a low impedance voltage source.

For a single-ended input, this implies that the voltage at −DIN in Figure 64 is 0 V when the amplifier’s negative power supply voltage (at V−) was also set to 0 V. SETTING THE OUTPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE The AD8132s VOCM pin is internally biased at a voltage approximately equal to the midsupply point (average value of the voltage on V+ and V−). Relying on this internal bias results in an output common-mode voltage that is within approximately 100 mV of the expected value. In cases where more accurate control of the output common-mode level is required, it is best practice that an external source or resistor divider (with RSOURCE < 10 kΩ) be used.

Wherever there are complementary signals, a symmetrical layout with matched lengths must be provided to the extent possible to maximize the balance performance. When running differential signals over a long distance, place the traces on the PCB close together or twist together any differential wiring to minimize the area of the loop that is formed. This reduces the radiated energy and makes the circuit less susceptible to interference. 01035-065 RG2 RF2 Figure 67.

Typical Circuit with β1 = 0 RF1 RG1 + 01035-067 The first requirement is a good solid ground plane that covers as much of the board area around the AD8132 as possible. The only exception to this is that the two input pins (Pin 1 and Pin 8) are kept a few millimeters from the ground plane and that ground be removed from inner layers and the opposite side of the board under the input pins. This minimizes the stray capacitance on these nodes and helps preserve the gain flatness vs. the frequency. RF1 RG1 Figure 69.

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL DRIVER Many of the newer high speed ADCs are single-supply and have differential inputs. Thus, the driver for these devices is able to convert from a single-ended signal to a differential signal and provide output common-mode level shifting in addition to having low distortion and noise. The AD8132 conveniently performs these functions when driving the AD9203, a 10-bit, 40 MSPS ADC. BALANCED CABLE DRIVER When driving a twisted pair cable, it is desirable to drive only a pure differential signal onto the line. If the signal is purely differential (that is, fully balanced), and the transmission line is twisted and balanced, there is minimum radiation of any signal. The complementary electrical fields are confined mostly to the space between the two twisted conductors and does not significantly radiate out from the cable. The current in the cable creates magnetic fields that radiate to some degree. However, the amount of radiation is mitigated by the twists, because for each twist, the two adjacent twists have an opposite polarity magnetic field. If the twist pitch is tight enough, these small magnetic field loops contain most of the magnetic flux, and the magnetic farfield strength is negligible. In Figure 73, a 1 V p-p signal drives the input of an AD8132 configured for unity gain. Both the AD8132 and the AD9203 are powered from a single 3 V supply. A voltage divider biases VOCM at midsupply and in turn drives VOUT, cm to half of the supply voltage. This is within the common-mode range of the AD9203. Between the ADC and the driver is a 1-pole, differential filter that helps to filter some of the noise and assists the switched-capacitor inputs of the ADC. Each of the ADC inputs is driven by a 0.5 V p-p signal that ranges from 1.25 V dc to 1.75 V dc.

These can have single-ended inputs and differential outputs that can provide an antialias function when driving a differential ADC. Figure 77 is a schematic of a low-pass, multiple feedback filter. The active section contains two poles, and an additional pole is added at the output. The filter was designed to have a −3 dB frequency of 1 MHz.

Frequency Boost Circuit Rev. F | Page 26 of 32 VOUT 200pF 01035-075 By lowering the impedance of the RG component of the feedback network at a higher frequency, the gain can be increased at a high frequency. Figure 75 shows the gain of a two-line driver that has its RG resistors shunted by 10 pF capacitors. The effect of this is shown in the frequency response plot of Figure 76. 49.9Ω –40 Figure 76. Frequency Response for Transmit Boost Circuit Any length of transmission line attenuates the signals it carries. This effect is worse at higher frequencies than at lower frequencies. One way to compensate for this is to provide an equalizer circuit that boosts the higher frequencies in the transmitter circuit, so that at the receive end of the cable, the attenuation effects are diminished. VIN –30 –50 TRANSMIT EQUALIZER 10pF –20 01035-074 The common-mode feedback loop in the AD8132 helps to minimize the amount of common-mode voltage at the output, and can therefore be used to create a well-balanced differential line driver. Figure 74 shows an application that uses an AD8132 as a balanced line driver and an AD830 as a differential receiver configured for unity gain. This circuit was operated with 10 meters of Category 5 cable. 20 VOUT/VIN (dB) Any imbalance in the differential drive signal appears as a common-mode signal on the cable. This is the equivalent of a single wire that is driven with the common-mode signal. In this case, the wire acts as an antenna and radiates. Thus, to minimize radiation when driving differential twisted pair cables, make sure the differential drive signal is well balanced. AD8132 10 Another way to look at this is that the circuit performs what is sometimes called transformer action. One main difference is that the AD8132 passes dc while transformers do not. –10 –30 –40 –50 –60 –70 –90 10k 100k 1M FREQUENCY (Hz) 10M 100M 01035-076 –80 A transformer can also be easily configured to have either a high or low common-mode output impedance. If the transformers center tap is connected to a solid voltage reference, it sets the commonmode voltage on the secondary side of the transformer. In this case, if one of the differential outputs is grounded, the other output has half of the differential output signal. This keeps the common-mode voltage at ground, where it is required to be due to the center tap connection. This is analogous to the AD8132 operating with a low output impedance common-mode (see Figure 80). VOCM Figure 78. Frequency Response of 1 MHz Low-Pass Filter HIGH COMMON-MODE OUTPUT IMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER Figure 80. Transformer with Low Output Impedance Secondary Set at VOCM Changing the connection to VOCM (Pin 2) can change the commonmode from low impedance to high impedance. If VOCM is actively set to a particular voltage, the AD8132 tries to force VOUT, cm to the same voltage with a relatively low output impedance. All the previous analysis assumed that this output impedance is arbitrarily low enough to drive the load condition in the circuit. However, there are some applications that benefit from a high common-mode output impedance. This is accomplished with the circuit shown in Figure 79. RF 348Ω RG 348Ω 10Ω RG 348Ω 1kΩ 49.9Ω 1kΩ 49.9Ω VDIFF 10Ω 01035-077 RF 348Ω Figure 79. High Common-Mode, Output Impedance, Differential Amplifier VOCM is driven by a resistor divider that measures the output common-mode voltage. Thus, the common-mode output voltage takes on the value that is set by the driven circuit. In this case, it comes from the center point of the termination at the receive end of a 10 meter length of Category 5 twisted pair cable. If the center tap of the secondary of a transformer is allowed to float as shown in Figure 81 (or if there is no center tap), the transformer has a high common-mode output impedance. This means that the common mode of the secondary is determined by what it is connected to and not by anything to do with the transformer itself. If one of the differential ends of the transformer is grounded, the other end swings with the full output voltage. This means that the common mode of the output voltage is one-half of the differential output voltage. However, this shows that the common mode is not forced via a low impedance to a given voltage. The common-mode output voltage can be easily changed to any voltage through its other output terminals. The AD8132 can exhibit the same performance when one of the outputs in Figure 79 is grounded. The other output swings at the full differential output voltage. The common-mode signal is measured by the voltage divider across the outputs and input to VOCM. This, then, drives VOUT, cm to the same level. At higher frequencies, it is important to minimize the capacitance on the VOCM node; otherwise, phase shifts can compromise the performance. The voltage divider resistances can also be lowered for better frequency response. If the receive end common-mode voltage is set to ground, it is well defined at the receive end. Any common-mode signal that is picked up over the cable length due to noise appears at the transmit end and must be absorbed by the transmitter. Thus, it is important that the transmitter have adequate common-mode output range to absorb the full amplitude of the common-mode signal coupled onto the cable and therefore prevent clipping. Rev.

Transformer with High Output Impedance Secondary AD8132 FULL-WAVE RECTIFIER The balanced outputs of the AD8132, along with a couple of Schottky diodes, can create a very high speed, full-wave rectifier. Such circuits are useful for measuring ac voltages and other computational tasks. If there is not enough forward bias (VOUT, cm too low), the lower sharp cusps of the full-wave rectified output waveform are rounded off. In addition, as the frequency increases, there tends to be some rounding of the lower cusps. The forward bias can be increased to yield sharper cusps at higher frequencies. Figure 82 shows the configuration of such a circuit. Each of the AD8132 outputs drives the anode of an HP2835 Schottky diode. These Schottky diodes were chosen for their high speed operation. At lower frequencies (approximately lower than 10 MHz), a silicon signal diode, such as a 1N4148, can be used. The cathodes of the two diodes are connected together, and this output node is connected to ground by a 100 Ω resistor. There is not a reliable, entirely quantifiable means to measure the performance of a full-wave rectifier. Since the ideal waveform has periodic sharp discontinuities, it has (mostly even) harmonics that have no upper bound on the frequency. However, for a practical circuit, as the frequency increases, the higher harmonics become attenuated and the sharp cusps that are present at low frequencies become significantly rounded. When running the circuit at a frequency up to 300 MHz, though it stays functional, the major harmonic that remains in the output is the second. This looks like a sine wave at 600 MHz. Figure 83 is an oscilloscope plot of the output when driven by a 100 MHz, 2.5 V p-p input. +5V RG1 348Ω RT1 49.9Ω RT2 24.9Ω RG2 348Ω +5V 10kΩ HP2835 RF2 348Ω RL 100Ω –5V CR1 Sometimes a second harmonic generator is useful for creating a clock to oversample a DAC by a factor of two.

Full-Wave Rectifier 1V One advantage of this circuit is that the feedback loop is never momentarily opened while the diodes reverse their polarity within the loop. This scheme is sometimes used for full-wave rectifiers that use conventional op amps. These conventional circuits do not work well at frequencies above approximately 1 MHz. Rev.

The forward biasing is conveniently adjusted by CR1, which, in this circuit, raises and lowers VOUT, cm without creating a differential output voltage. Figure 83.
