The LT
®
1739 is a 500mA minimum output current, dual op
amp with outstanding distortion performance. The ampli-
fiers are gain-of-ten stable, but can be easily compensated
for lower gains. The extended output swing allows for
lower supply rails to reduce system power. Supply current
is set with an external resistor to optimize power dissipa-
tion. The LT1739 features balanced, high impedance in-
puts with low input bias current and input offset voltage.
Active termination is easily implemented for further sys-
tem power reduction. Short-circuit protection and thermal
shutdown insure the device’s ruggedness.
The outputs drive a 100 load to ±11.1V with ±12V
supplies, and ±10.9V with a 250mA load. The LT1739 is a
pin-for-pin replacement for the LT1794 in xDSL line driver
applications and requires no circuit changes.
The LT1739 is available in the very small, thermally
enhanced, 3mm × 4mm DFN package or a 20-lead TSSOP
for maximum port density in central office line driver
applications. For a dual version of the LT1739, see the
LT6301 data sheet.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
WUUU
The LT1739 is a high speed, 200MHz gain bandwidth
product, dual voltage feedback amplifier with high output
current drive capability, 500mA source and sink. The
LT1739 is ideal for use as a line driver in xDSL data
communication applications. The output voltage swing
has been optimized to provide sufficient headroom when
operating from ±12V power supplies in full-rate ADSL
applications. The LT1739 also allows for an adjustment of
the operating current to minimize power consumption. In
addition, the LT1739 is available in small footprint
3mm × 4mm DFN and 20-lead TSSOP surface mount
package to minimize PCB area in multiport central office
DSL cards.
To minimize signal distortion, the LT1739 amplifiers are
decompensated to provide very high open-loop gain at
high frequency. As a result each amplifier is frequency
stable with a closed-loop gain of 10 or more. If a closed-
loop gain of less than 10 is desired, external frequency
compensating components can be used.
Setting the Quiescent Operating Current
Power consumption and dissipation are critical concerns
in multiport xDSL applications. Two pins, Shutdown
(SHDN) and Shutdown Reference (SHDNREF), are pro-
vided to control quiescent power consumption and allow
for the complete shutdown of the driver. The quiescent
current should be set high enough to prevent distortion
induced errors in a particular application, but not so high
that power is wasted in the driver unnecessarily. A good
starting point to evaluate the LT1739 is to set the quiescent
current to 10mA per amplifier.
The internal biasing circuitry is shown in Figure 1. Ground-
ing the SHDNREF pin and directly driving the SHDN pin with
a voltage can control the operating current as seen in the
Typical Performance Characteristics. When the SHDN pin
is less than SHDNREF + 0.4V, the driver is shut down and
consumes typically only 100µA of supply current and the
outputs are in a high impedance state. Part to part varia-
tions, however, will cause inconsistent control of the qui-
escent current if direct voltage drive of the SHDN pin is used.
Using a single external resistor, R
BIAS
, connected in one of
two ways provides a much more predictable control of the
quiescent supply current. Figure 2 illustrates the effect
on supply current per amplifier with R
BIAS
connected
between the SHDN pin and the 12V V
+
supply of the
LT1739 and the approximate design equations. Figure 3
illustrates the same control with R
BIAS
connected between
the SHDNREF pin and ground while the SHDN pin is tied
to V
+
. Either approach is equally effective.

Logic Controlled Operating Current
The DSP controller in a typical xDSL application can have
I/O pins assigned to provide logic control of the LT1739
line driver operating current. As shown in Figure 4 one or
two logic control inputs can set two or four different
operating modes. The logic inputs add or subtract current
to the SHDN input to set the operating current. The one
logic input example selects the supply current to be either
full power, 10mA per amplifier or just 2mA per amplifier,
which significantly reduces the driver power consumption
while maintaining less than 2 output impedance to
frequencies less than 1MHz. This low power mode retains
termination impedance at the amplifier outputs and the
line driving back termination resistors. With this termina-
tion, while a DSL port is not transmitting data, it can still
sense a received signal from the line across the back-
termination resistors and respond accordingly.
The two logic input control provides two intermediate
(approximately 7mA per amplifier and 5mA per amplifier)
operating levels between full power and termination
modes. For proper operation of the current control cir-
cuitry, it is necessary that the SHDNREF pin be biased at
least 2V more positive than V
. In single supply applica-
tions where V
is at ground potential, special attention to
the DC bias of the SHDNREF pin is required. Contact
Linear Technology for assistance in implementing a single
supply design with operating current control. These
modes can be useful for overall system power manage-
ment when full power transmissions are not necessary.
Shutdown and Recovery
The ultimate power saving action on a completely idle port
is to fully shut down the line driver by pulling the SHDN pin
to within 0.4V of the SHDNREF potential. As shown in
Figure 5 complete shutdown occurs in less than 10µs and,
more importantly, complete recovery from the shut down
state to full operation occurs in less than 2µs. The biasing
circuitry in the LT1739 reacts very quickly to bring the
amplifiers back to normal operation.

Power Dissipation and Heat Management
xDSL applications require the line driver to dissipate a
significant amount of power and heat compared to other
components in the system. The large peak to RMS varia-
tions of DMT and CAP ADSL signals require high supply
voltages to prevent clipping, and the use of a step-up
transformer to couple the signal to the telephone line can
require high peak current levels. These requirements
result in the driver package having to dissipate significant
amounts of power. Several multiport cards inserted into
a rack in an enclosed central office box can add up to
many, many watts of power dissipation in an elevated
ambient temperature environment. The LT1739 has built-
in thermal shutdown cir
cuitry that will protect the ampli-
fiers if operated at excessive temperatures, however data
transmissions will be seriously impaired. It is important in
9
LT1739
1739fas, sn1739
the design of the PCB and card enclosure to take measures
to spread the heat developed in the driver away to the
ambient environment to prevent thermal shutdown (which
occurs when the junction temperature of the LT1739
exceeds 165°C).
Estimating Line Driver Power Dissipation
Figure 6 is a typical ADSL application shown for the
purpose of estimating the power dissipation in the line
driver. Due to the complex nature of the DMT signal,
which looks very much like noise, it is easiest to use the
RMS values of voltages and currents for estimating the
driver power dissipation. The voltage and current levels
shown for this example are for a full-rate ADSL signal
driving 20dBm or 100mWRMS of power on to the 100
telephone line and assuming a 0.5dBm insertion loss in
the transformer. The quiescent current for the LT1739 is
set to 10mA per amplifier.
The power dissipated in the LT1739 is a combination of the
quiescent power and the output stage power when driving
a signal. The two amplifiers are configured to place a
differential signal on to the line. The Class AB output stage
in each amplifier will simultaneously dissipate power in
the upper power transistor of one amplifier, while sourc-
ing current, and the lower power transistor of the other
amplifier, while sinking current. The total device power
dissipation is then:

With no signal being placed on the line and the amplifier
biased for 10mA per amplifier supply current, the quies-
cent driver power dissipation is:
P
DQ
= 24V • 20mA = 480mW
This can be reduced in many applications by operating
with a lower quiescent current value.
When driving a load, a large percentage of the amplifier
quiescent current is diverted to the output stage and
becomes part of the load current. Figure 7 illustrates the
total amount of biasing current flowing between the + and
– power supplies through the amplifiers as a function of
load current. As much as 60% of the quiescent no load
operating current is diverted to the load.

Heat Sinking Using PCB Metal
Designing a thermal management system is often a trial
and error process as it is never certain how effective it is
until it is manufactured and evaluated. As a general rule,
the more copper area of a PCB used for spreading heat
away from the driver package, the more the operating
junction temperature of the driver will be reduced. The
limit to this approach however is the need for very
compact circuit layout to allow more ports to be imple-
mented on any given size PCB.
Fortunately xDSL circuit boards use multiple layers of
metal for interconnection of components. Areas of metal
beneath the LT1739 connected together through several
small 13 mil vias can be effective in conducting heat away
from the driver package. The use of inner layer metal can
free up top and bottom layer PCB area for external compo-
nent placement.
Figure 8 shows examples of PCB metal being used for heat
spreading. These are provided as a reference for what
might be expected when using different combinations of
metal area on different layers of a PCB. These examples are
with a 4-layer board using 1oz copper on each. The most
effective layers for spreading heat are those closest to the
LT1739 junction. The small TSSOP and DFN packages are
very effective for compact line driver designs. Both pack-
ages also have an exposed metal heat sinking pad on the
bottom side which, when soldered to the PCB top layer
metal, directly conducts heat away from the IC junction.
Soldering the thermal pad to the board produces a thermal
resistance from junction to case, θ
JC
, of approximately
3°C/W.
As a minimum, the area directly beneath the package on all
PCB layers can be used for heat spreading. Limiting the
area of metal to just that of the exposed metal heat sinking
pad however is not very effective, particularly if the ampli-
fiers are required to dissipate significant power levels.
This is shown in Figure 8 for both the TSSOP and DFN
packages. Expanding the area of metal on various layers
significantly reduces the overall thermal resistance. If
possible, an entire unbroken plane of metal close to the
heat sinking pad is best for multiple drivers on one PCB
card. The addition of vias (small 13mil or smaller holes
which fill during PCB plating) connecting all layers of heat
spreading metal also helps to reduce operating tempera-
tures of the driver. These too are shown in Figure␣ 8.
Important Note: The metal planes used for heat sinking
the LT1739 are electrically connected to the negative
supply potential of the driver, typically –12V. These
planes must be isolated from any other power planes
used in the board design.

When PCB cards containing multiple ports are inserted
into a rack in an enclosed cabinet, it is often necessary to
provide airflow through the cabinet and over the cards. As
seen in the graph of Figure 8, this is also very effective in
further reducing the junction-to-ambient thermal resis-
tance of each line driver.

Layout and Passive Components
With a gain bandwidth product of 200MHz the LT1739
requires attention to detail in order to extract maximum
performance. Use a ground plane, short lead lengths and
a combination of RF-quality supply bypass capacitors (i.e.,
0.1µF). As the primary applications have high drive cur-
rent, use low ESR supply bypass capacitors (1µF to 10µF).
The parallel combination of the feedback resistor and gain
setting resistor on the inverting input can combine with the
input capacitance to form a pole that can cause frequency
peaking. In general, use feedback resistors of 1k or less.
Compensation
The LT1739 is stable in a gain 10 or higher for any supply
and resistive load. It is easily compensated for lower gains
with a single resistor or a resistor plus a capacitor.
Figure␣ 9 shows that for inverting gains, a resistor from the
inverting node to AC ground guarantees stability if the
parallel combination of RC and RG is less than or equal to
RF/9. For lowest distortion and DC output offset, a series
capacitor, CC, can be used to reduce the noise gain at
lower frequencies. The break frequency produced by RC
and CC should be less than 5MHz to minimize peaking.
Figure 10 shows compensation in the noninverting con-
figuration. The R
C
, C
C
network acts similarly to the invert-
ing case. The input impedance is not reduced because the
network is bootstrapped. This network can also be placed
between the inverting input and an AC ground.
Another compensation scheme for noninverting circuits is
shown in Figure 11. The circuit is unity gain at low
frequency and a gain of 1 + R
F
/R
G
at high frequency. The
DC output offset is reduced by a factor of ten. The
techniques of Figures 10 and 11 can be combined as
shown in Figure 12. The gain is unity at low frequencies,
1 + R
F
/R
G
at mid-band and for stability, a gain of 10 or
greater at high frequencies.

In differential driver applications, as shown on the first
page of this data sheet, it is recommended that the gain
setting resistor be comprised of two equal value resistors
connected to a good AC ground at high frequencies. This
ensures that the feedback factor of each amplifier remains
less than 0.1 at any frequency. The midpoint of the
resistors can be directly connected to ground, with the
resulting DC gain to the V
OS
of the amplifiers, or just
bypassed to ground with a 1000pF or larger capacitor.
Line Driving Back-Termination
The standard method of cable or line back-termination is
shown in Figure 13. The cable/line is terminated in its
characteristic impedance (50, 75, 100, 135, etc.).
A back-termination resistor also equal to the chararacteristic
impedance should be used for maximum pulse fidelity of
outgoing signals, and to terminate the line for incoming
signals in a full-duplex application. There are three main
drawbacks to this approach. First, the power dissipated in
the load and back-termination resistors is equal so half of
the power delivered by the amplifier is wasted in the
termination resistor. Second, the signal is halved so the
gain of the amplifer must be doubled to have the same
overall gain to the load. The increase in gain increases
noise and decreases bandwidth (which can also increase
distortion). Third, the output swing of the amplifier is
doubled which can limit the power it can deliver to the load
for a given power supply voltage.
An alternate method of back-termination is shown in
Figure 14. Positive feedback increases the effective back-
termination resistance so R
BT
can be reduced by a factor
of n. To analyze this circuit, first ground the input. As R

A simpler method of using positive feedback to reduce the

Using positive feedback is often referred to as active
termination.
Figure 18 shows a full-rate ADSL line driver incorporating
positive feedback to reduce the power lost in the back
termination resistors by 40% yet still maintains the proper
impedance match to the100 characteristic line imped-
ance. This circuit also reduces the transformer turns ratio
over the standard line driving approach resulting in lower
peak current requirements. With lower current and less
power loss in the back termination resistors, this driver
dissipates only 1W of power, a 30% reduction. (Additional
power savings are possible by further reducing the termi-
nation resistors’ value).
While the power savings of positive feedback are attractive
there is one important system consideration to be ad-
dressed, received signal sensitivity. The signal received
from the line is sensed across the back termination resis-
tors. With positive feedback, signals are present on both
ends of the R
BT
resistors, reducing the sensed amplitude.
Extra gain may be required in the receive channel to
compensate, or a completely separate receive path may be
implemented through a separate line coupling transformer.
A demo board, DC306A-C, is available for the LT1739CFE.
This demo board is a complete line driver with an LT1361
receiver included. It allows the evaluation of both standard
and active termination approaches. It also has circuitry
built in to evaluate the effects of operating with reduced
supply current. The schematic of this demo board is
shown in Figure 17.
Considerations for Fault Protection
The basic line driver design, shown on the front page of
this data sheet, presents a direct DC path between the
outputs of the two amplifiers. An imbalance in the DC
biasing potentials at the noninverting inputs through
either a fault condition or during turn-on of the system can
create a DC voltage differential between the two amplifier
outputs. This condition can force a considerable amount
of current to flow as it is limited only by the small valued
back-termination resistors and the DC resistance of the
transformer primary. This high current can possibly cause
the power supply voltage source to drop significantly
impacting overall system performance. If left unchecked,
the high DC current can heat the LT1739 to thermal
shutdown.

Using DC blocking capacitors, as shown in Figure 16, to
AC couple the signal to the transformer eliminates the
possibility for DC current to flow under any conditions.
These capacitors should be sized large enough to not
impair the frequency response characteristics required for
the data transmission.
Another important fault related concern has to do with
very fast high voltage transients appearing on the tele-
phone line (lightning strikes for example). TransZorbs

Figure 16. Protecting the Driver Against Load Faults and Line Transients
create fast voltage transitions themselves that can be
coupled through the transformer to the outputs of the line
driver. Several hundred volt transient signals can appear
at the primary windings of the transformer with current
into the driver outputs limited only by the back termination
resistors. While the LT1739 has clamps to the supply rails
at the output pins, they may not be large enough to handle
the significant transient energy. External clamping diodes,
such as BAV99s, at each end of the transformer primary
help to shunt this destructive transient energy away from
the amplifier outputs.
