HIGH-SPEED DIFFERENTIAL I/O FAMILY
description
The THS414x is one in a family of fully differential
input/differential output devices fabricated using
Texas Instruments’ state-of-the-art BiComI
complementary bipolar process.
The THS414x is made of a true fully-differential
signal path from input to output. This design leads
to an excellent common-mode noise rejection and
improved total harmonic distortion.

† 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 THS414x may incorporate a PowerPad on the underside of the chip. This acts as a heatsink and must be connected to a thermally
dissipative 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 and SLMA004 for more information about utilizing the PowerPad
thermally enhanced package.
NOTE 2: The absolute maximum temperature under any condition is limited by the constraints of the silicon process.
NOTE 3: The maximum junction temperature for continuous operation is limited by package constraints. Operation above this temperature may
result in reduced reliability and/or lifetime of the device.

‡ This data was taken using the JEDEC standard High−K test PCB.
§ Power rating is determined with a junction temperature of 125°C. This is the point where distortion starts to
substantially increase. Thermal management of the final PCB should strive to keep the junction temperature at or
below 125°C for best performance and long term reliability.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
resistor matching
Resistor matching is important in fully differential amplifiers. The balance of the output on the reference voltage
depends on matched ratios of the resistors. CMRR, PSRR, and cancellation of the second harmonic distortion
will diminish if resistor mismatch occurs. Therefore, it is recommended to use 1% tolerance resistors or better
to keep the performance optimized.
VOCM sets the dc level of the output signals. If no voltage is applied to the VOCM pin, it will be set to the midrail
voltage internally defined as:
ǒVCC)Ǔ

) V
Ǔ

In the differential mode, the VOCM on the two outputs cancel each other. Therefore, the output in the differential
mode is the same as the input in the gain of 1. VOCM has a high bandwidth capability up to the typical operation
range of the amplifier. For the prevention of noise going through the device, use a 0.1 µF capacitor on the VOCM
pin as a bypass capacitor. The following graph shows the simplified diagram of the THS414x.

Figure 22. Fully Differential Amplifier Attached to a Differential ADC
Fully differential amplifiers can operate with a single supply. VOCM defaults to the midrail voltage, VCC/2. The
differential output may be fed into a data converter. This method eliminates the use of a transformer in the circuit.
If the ADC has a reference voltage output (Vref), then it is recommended to connect it directly to the VOCM of
the amplifier using a bypass capacitor for stability. For proper operation, the input common-mode voltage to the
input terminal of the amplifier should not exceed the common-mode input voltage range.

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 THS414x 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 will decrease the device’s phase margin leading to high-frequency ringing or oscillations. Therefore, for
capacitive loads of greater than 10 pF, it is recommended that a resistor be placed in series with the output of
the amplifier, as shown in Figure 25. A minimum value of 20 Ω should work well for most applications. For
example, in 50-Ω transmission systems, setting the series resistor value to 50 Ω both isolates any capacitance
loading and provides the proper line impedance matching at the source end.

If each output is measured independently, each output is one-half of the input signal when gain is 1. The
following equations express the transfer function for each output:

The second output is equal and opposite in sign:
V

+ –1 V
2 I
Fully differential amplifiers may be viewed as two inverting amplifiers. In this case, the equation of an inverting
amplifier holds true for gain calculations. One advantage of fully differential amplifiers is that they offer twice as
much dynamic range compared to single-ended amplifiers. For example, a 1-VPP ADC can only support an input
signal of 1 VPP. If the output of the amplifier is 2 VPP, then it will not be practical to feed a 2-VPP signal into the
targeted ADC. Using a fully differential amplifier enables the user to break down the output into two 1-VPP signals
with opposite signs and feed them into the differential input nodes of the ADC. In practice, the designer has been
able to feed a 2-V peak-to-peak signal into a 1-V differential ADC with the help of a fully differential amplifier.
The final result indicates twice as much dynamic range. Figure 31 illustrates the increase in dynamic range. The
gain factor should be considered in this scenario. The THS414x fully differential amplifier offers an improved
CMRR and PSRR due to its symmetrical input and output. Furthermore, second harmonic distortion is
improved. Second harmonics tend to cancel because of the symmetrical output.

Similar to the standard inverting amplifier configuration, input impedance of a fully differential amplifier is
selected by the input resistor, R(g). If input impedance is a constraint in design, the designer may choose to
implement the differential amplifier as an instrumentation amplifier. This configuration improves the input
impedance of the fully differential amplifier. The following schematic depicts the general format of
instrumentation amplifiers.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
circuit layout considerations
To achieve the levels of high frequency performance of the THS414x, follow proper printed-circuit board high
frequency design techniques. A general set of guidelines is given below. In addition, a THS414x evaluation
board is available to use as a guide for layout or for evaluating the device performance.
D Ground planes—It is highly recommended that a ground plane be used on the board to provide all
components with a low inductive ground connection. However, in the areas of the amplifier inputs and
output, the ground plane can be removed to minimize the stray capacitance.
D Proper power supply decoupling—Use 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 trace makes the capacitor less
effective. The designer should strive for distances of less than 0.1 inches between the device power
terminals and the ceramic capacitors.
D Sockets—Sockets are not recommended for high-speed operational amplifiers. The additional lead
inductance in the socket pins will often lead to stability problems. Surface-mount packages soldered directly
to the printed-circuit board is the best implementation.
D Short trace runs/compact part placements—Optimum high frequency performance is achieved when stray
series inductance has been minimized. To realize this, the circuit layout should be made as compact as
possible, thereby minimizing the length of all trace runs. Particular attention should be paid to the inverting
input of the amplifier. Its length should be kept as short as possible. This will help to minimize stray
capacitance at the input of the amplifier.
D Surface-mount passive components—Using surface-mount passive components is recommended for high
frequency amplifier circuits for several reasons. First, because of the extremely low lead inductance of
surface-mount components, the problem with stray series inductance is greatly reduced. Second, the small
size of surface-mount components naturally leads to a more compact layout thereby minimizing both stray
inductance and capacitance. If leaded components are used, it is recommended that the lead lengths be
kept as short as possible.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
power-down mode
The power-down mode is used when power saving is required. The power-down terminal (PD) found on the
THS414x is an active low terminal. If it is left as a no-connect terminal, the device will always stay on due to an
internal 50 kΩ resistor to VCC. The threshold voltage for this terminal is approximately 1.4 V above VCC−. This
means that if the PD terminal is 1.4 V above VCC −, the device is active. If the PD terminal is less than 1.4 V above
VCC −, the device is off. For example, if VCC − = −5 V, then the device is on when PD reaches 3.6 V, (-5 V + 1.4
V = −3.6 V). By the same calculation, the device is off below −3.6 V. It is recommended to pull the terminal to
VCC − in order to turn the device off. The following graph shows the simplified version of the power-down circuit.
While in the power-down state, the amplifier goes into a high-impedance state. The amplifier output impedance
is typically greater than 1 MΩ in the power-down state.

Figure 33. Simplified Power-Down Circuit
Due to the similarity of the standard inverting amplifier configuration, the output impedance appears to be very
low while in the power-down state. This is because the feedback resistor (Rf) and the gain resistor (R(g)) are
still connected to the circuit. Therefore, a current path is allowed between the input of the amplifier and the output
of the amplifier. An example of the closed-loop output impedance is shown in Figure 34.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
general PowerPAD design considerations
The THS414x is available packaged in a thermally-enhanced DGN package, which is a member of the
PowerPAD family of packages. This package is constructed using a downset leadframe upon which the die is
mounted [see Figure 35(a) and Figure 35(b)]. This arrangement results in the lead frame being exposed as a
thermal pad on the underside of the package [see Figure 35(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.
The PowerPAD package represents a breakthrough in combining the small area and ease of assembly of the
surface mount with the, heretofore, awkward mechanical methods of heatsinking.
More complete details of the PowerPAD installation process and thermal management techniques can be found
in the Texas Instruments Technical Brief, PowerPAD Thermally Enhanced Package (SLMA002). This document
can be found at the TI web site (www.ti.com) by searching on the key word PowerPAD. The document can also
be ordered through your local TI sales office. Refer to literature number SLMA002 when ordering.
