GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8143 is a triple, low cost, differential-to-
single-ended receiver specifically designed for
receiving red-green-blue (RGB) signals over twisted
pair cable. It can also be used for receiving any type of
analog signal or high speed data transmission. Two
auxiliary comparators are provided to receive digital
or sync signals. The AD8143 can be used in conjunction
with the AD8133 and AD8134 triple, differential
drivers to provide a complete low cost solution for
RGB over Category-5 UTP cable applications,
including KVM.
The excellent common-mode rejection (65 dB @
10 MHz) of the AD8143 allows for the use of low cost
unshielded twisted pair cables in noisy environments.
The AD8143 has a wide power supply range from single +5 V
supply to ±12 V, which allows for a wide common-mode range.
The wide common-mode input range of the AD8143 maintains
signal integrity in systems where the ground potential is a few
volts different between the drive and receive ends without the
use of isolation transformers.
The AD8143 is stable at a gain of 1. Closed-loop gain is easily
set using external resistors.
The AD8143 is available in a 5 mm × 5 mm, 32-lead LFCSP and
is rated to work over the extended industrial temperature range
of −40°C to +85°C.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. 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 a device soldered in the circuit board with its
exposed paddle soldered to a pad on the PCB surface which is
thermally connected to a copper plane.
Table 5. Thermal Resistance
Package Type θJA θJC Unit
5 mm × 5 mm, 32-Lead LFCSP 45 7 °C/W
Maximum Power Dissipation
The maximum safe power dissipation in the AD8143 package is
limited by the associated rise in junction temperature (TJ) on
the die. At approximately 150°C, which is 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 AD8143. Exceeding a junction temperature
of 150°C for an extended period can result in changes in the
silicon devices potentially causing failure.
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 power dissipated due to the load
drive depends upon the particular application. For each output,
the power due to load drive is calculated by multiplying the load
current by the associated voltage drop across the device. The
power dissipated due to all of the loads is equal to the sum of
the power dissipation due to each individual load. RMS voltages
and currents must be used in these calculations.
Airflow increases heat dissipation, effectively reducing θJA. In
addition, more metal directly in contact with the package leads
from metal traces, through-holes, ground, and power planes
reduces the θJA. The exposed paddle on the underside of the
package must be soldered to a pad on the PCB surface which is
thermally connected to a copper plane to achieve the specified θJA.
Figure 2 shows the maximum safe power dissipation in the
package vs. the ambient temperature for the 32-lead LFCSP
(45°C/W) on a JEDEC standard 4-layer board with the underside
paddle soldered to a pad which is thermally connected to a PCB
plane. Extra thermal relief is required for operation at high
supply voltages. See the Applications section for details. θJA
values are approximations.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD8143 amplifiers use an architecture called active
feedback, which differs from that of conventional op amps. The
most obvious differentiating feature is the presence of two
separate pairs of differential inputs compared to a conventional
op amps single pair. Typically, for the active-feedback architecture,
one of these input pairs is driven by a differential input signal,
while the other is used for the feedback. This active stage in the
feedback path is where the term active feedback is derived.
The active feedback architecture offers several advantages over a
conventional op amp in several types of applications. Among
these are excellent common-mode rejection, wide input common-
mode range, and a pair of inputs that are high impedance and
completely balanced in a typical application. In addition, while
an external feedback network establishes the gain response as in
a conventional op amp, its separate path makes it entirely
independent of the signal input. This eliminates any interaction
between the feedback and input circuits, which traditionally
causes problems with CMRR in conventional differential-input
op amp circuits.
Another advantage of active feedback is the ability to change the
polarity of the gain merely by switching the differential inputs.
A high input impedance inverting amplifier can therefore be
made. Besides high input impedance, a unity-gain inverter with
the AD8143 has noise gain of unity, producing lower output
noise and higher bandwidth than op amps that have noise gain
equal to 2 for a unity-gain inverter.
The two differential input stages of the AD8143 are each
transconductance stages that are well-matched. These stages
convert the respective differential input voltages to internal
currents. The currents are then summed and converted to a
voltage, which is buffered to drive the output. The compensation
capacitor is included in the summing circuit. When the
feedback path is closed around the part, the output drives
the feedback input to that voltage which causes the internal
currents to sum to zero. This occurs when the two differential
inputs are equal and opposite; that is, their algebraic sum is zero.
In a closed-loop application, a conventional op amp has its
differential input voltage driven to near zero under non-
transient conditions. The AD8143 generally has differential
input voltages at each of its input pairs, even under equilibrium
conditions. As a practical consideration, it is necessary to
internally limit the differential input voltage with a clamp
circuit. Thus, the input dynamic ranges are limited to about
2.5 V for the AD8143 (see Specifications section for more
detail). For this and other reasons, it is not recommended to
reverse the input and feedback stages of the AD8143, even
though some apparently normal functionality may be observed
under some conditions.
AD8143
Rev. 0 | Page 18 of 24
APPLICATIONS
OVERVIEW
The AD8143 contains three independent active-feedback
amplifiers that can be effectively applied as differential line
receivers for red-green-blue (RGB) signals or component video,
such as YPbPr, signals transmitted over unshielded-twisted-pair
(UTP) cable. The AD8143 also contains two general-purpose
comparators with hysteresis that can be used to receive digital
signals or to extract video synchronization pulses from received
common-mode signals that contain encoded synchronization
signals.
An internal linear voltage regulator derives power for the
comparators from the positive supply; therefore, the AD8143
must always have a minimum positive supply voltage of 4.5 V.
The AD8143 includes a power-down feature that can be
asserted to reduce the supply current when a particular device
is not in use.
BASIC CLOSED-LOOP GAIN CONFIGURATIONS
As described in the Theory of Operation section, placing a
resistive feedback network between an amplifier output and its
respective feedback amplifier input creates a stable negative
feedback amplifier. It is important to note that the closed-loop
gain of the amplifier used in the signal path is defined as the
amplifier’s single-ended output voltage divided by its differential
input voltage. Therefore, each amplifier in the AD8143 provides
differential-to-single-ended gain. Additionally, the amplifier
used for feedback has two high impedance inputs—the FB
input, where the negative feedback is applied, and the REF
input, which can be used as an independent single-ended
input to apply a dc offset to the output signal. Some basic
gain configurations implemented with an AD8143 amplifier
are shown in Figure 37 through Figure 39.

Figure 37. Basic Gain Circuit: VOUT = (VIN + VREF)(1 + RF/RG)
The gain equation for the circuit in Figure 37 is
VOUT = (VIN + VREF)(1 + RF/RG) (1)
In this configuration, the voltage applied to the REF pin appears
at the output with a gain of 1 + RF/RG.
To achieve unity gain from V REF to VOUT in this configuration,
divide VREF by the same factor used in the feedback loop; the
same RF and RG values can be used. Figure 38 illustrates this
approach.

Another configuration that provides the same gain equation as
Equation 2 is shown in Figure 39. In this configuration, it is
important to keep the source resistance of VREF much smaller
than RG to avoid gain errors.

For stability reasons, the inductance of the trace connected to
the REF pin must be kept to less than 10 nH. The typical
inductance of 50 Ω traces on the outer layers of the FR-4 boards
is 7 nH/in, and on the inner layers, it is typically 9 nH/in. Vias
must be accounted for as well. The inductance of a typical via in
a 0.062-inch board is on the order of 1.5 nH. If longer traces are
required, a 200 Ω resistor should be placed in series with the
trace to reduce the Q-factor of the inductance.

In many dual-supply applications, VREF can be directly
connected to ground right at the device.
TERMINATING THE INPUT
One of the key benefits of the active-feedback architecture is the
separation that exists between the differential input signal and
the feedback network. Because of this separation, the differential
input maintains its high CMRR and provides high differential
and common-mode input impedances, making line termination
a simple task.
Most applications that use the AD8143 involve transmitting
broadband video signals over 100 Ω UTP cable and use
dc-coupled terminations. The two most common types of
dc-coupled terminations are differential and common-mode.
Differential termination of 100 Ω UTP is implemented by
simply connecting a 100 Ω resistor across the amplifier input,
as shown in Figure 40.

Some applications require common-mode terminations for
common-mode currents generated at the transmitter. In these
cases, the 100 Ω termination resistor is split into two 50 Ω
resistors. The required common-mode termination voltage is
applied at the tap between the two resistors. In many of these
applications, the common-mode tap is connected to ground
(VTERM (CM) = 0). This scheme is illustrated in Figure 41.

INPUT CLAMPING
The differential input that is assigned to receive the input signal
includes clamping diodes that limit the differential input swing
to approximately 5.5 V p-p at 25°C. Because of this, the input
and feedback stages should never be interchanged. Figure 31
illustrates the clamping action at the signal input stage.
The supply current drawn by the AD8143 has a strong
dependence on input signal magnitude because the input
transconductance stages operate with differential input signals
that can be up to a few volts peak-to-peak. This behavior is
distinctly different from that of traditional op-amps, where the
differential input signal is driven to essentially 0 V by negative
feedback. Figure 28 illustrates the supply current dependence on
input voltage.
For most applications, including receiving RGB video signals,
the input signal magnitudes encountered are well within the
safe operating limits of the AD8143 over its full power supply
and operating temperature ranges. In some extreme applications
where large differential and/or common-mode voltages can be
encountered, external clamping may be necessary. Another
application where external common-mode clamping is
sometimes required is when an unpowered AD8143 receives a
signal from an active driver. In this case, external diodes are
required when the current drawn by the internal ESD diodes
cannot be kept to less than 5 mA.
When using ±12 V supplies, the differential input signal must
be kept to less than 4 V p-p. In applications that use ±12 V
supplies where the input signals are expected to reach or exceed
4 V p-p, external differential clamping at a maximum of 4 V p-p
is required.
Figure 42 shows a general approach to external differential-
mode clamping.

Figure 42. Differential-Mode Clamping
The positive and negative clamps are nonlinear devices that
exhibit very low impedance when the voltage across them
reaches a critical threshold (clamping voltage), thereby limiting
the voltage across the AD8143 input. The positive clamp has a
positive threshold, and the negative clamp has a negative
threshold.
AD8143
Rev. 0 | Page 20 of 24
A diode is a simple example of such a clamp. Schottky diodes
generally have lower clamping voltages than typical signal
diodes. The clamping voltage should be larger than the largest
expected signal amplitude, with enough margin to ensure that
the received signal passes without being distorted.
A simple way to implement a clamp is to use a number of
diodes in series. The resultant clamping voltage is then the sum
of the clamping voltages of individual diodes.
A 1N4448 diode has a forward voltage of approximately 0.70 V
to 0.75 V at typical current levels that are seen when it is being
used as a clamp, and 2 pF maximum capacitance at 0 V bias.
(The capacitance of a diode decreases as its reverse bias voltage
is increased.) The series connection of two 1N4448 diodes,
therefore, has a clamping voltage of 1.4 V to 1.5 V. Figure 43
shows how to limit the differential input voltage applied to an
AD8143 amplifier to ±1.4 V to ±1.5 V (2.8 V p-p to 3.0 V p-p).
Note that the resulting capacitance of the two series diodes is
half that of one diode. Different numbers of series diodes can be
used to obtain different clamping voltages.
RT is the differential termination resistor and the series
resistances, RS, limit the current into the diodes. The series
resistors should be highly matched in value to preserve high
frequency CMRR.

Figure 43. Using Two 1N4448 Diodes in Series as a Clamp
There are many other nonlinear devices that can be used as
clamps. The best choice for a particular application depends
upon the desired clamping voltage, response time, parasitic
capacitance, and other factors.
When using external differential-mode clamping, it is
important to ensure that the series resistors (RS), the sum of
the parasitic capacitance of the clamping devices, and the input
capacitance of the AD8143 are small enough to preserve the
desired signal bandwidth.
Figure 44 shows a specific example of external common-mode
clamping.

The series resistances, RS, limit the current in each leg,
and the Schottky diodes limit the voltages on each input to
approximately 0.3 V to 0.4 V over the positive power supply,
V+ and to 0.3 V to 0.4 V below the negative power supply, V−.
The maximum value of RS is determined by the required signal
bandwidth, the line impedance, and the effective differential
capacitance due to the AD8143 inputs and the diodes.
As with the differential clamp, the series resistors should be
highly matched in value to preserve high frequency CMRR.
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT
CONSIDERATIONS
The two most important issues with regard to printed circuit
board (PCB) layout are minimizing parasitic signal trace
reactances in the feedback network and providing sufficient
thermal relief.
Excessive parasitic reactances in the feedback network cause
excessive peaking in the amplifier’s frequency response and
excessive overshoot in its step response due to a reduction in
phase margin. Oscillation occurs when these parasitic
reactances are increased to a critical point where the phase
margin is reduced to zero. Minimizing these reactances is
important to obtain optimal performance from the AD8143.
When operating at ±12 V power, it is important to pay special
attention to removing heat from the AD8143.
Besides the special layout considerations previously mentioned
and expounded upon in the following sections, general high
speed layout practices must be adhered to when applying the
AD8143. Controlled impedance transmission lines are required
for incoming and outgoing signals, referenced to a ground plane.
AD8143
Rev. 0 | Page 21 of 24
Typically, the input signals are received over 100 Ω differential
transmission lines. A 100 Ω differential transmission line is
readily realized on the printed circuit board using two well-
matched, closely-spaced 50 Ω single-ended traces that are
coupled through the ground plane. The traces that carry the
single-ended output signals are most often 75 Ω for video
signals. Output signal connections should include series
termination resistors that are matched to the impedance
of the line they are driving.
Broadband power supply decoupling networks should be placed
as close as possible to the supply pins. Small surface-mount
ceramic capacitors are recommended for these networks, and
tantalum capacitors are recommended for bulk supply
decoupling.
Minimizing Parasitic Reactances in the Feedback Network
Parasitic trace capacitance and inductance are both reduced
when the traces that connect the feedback network together are
reduced in length. Removing the copper from all planes below
the traces reduces trace capacitance, but increases trace inductance
because the loop area formed by the trace and ground plane is
increased. A reasonable compromise that works well is to void
all copper directly under the feedback loop traces and component
pads with margins on each side approximately equal to one
trace width. Combining this technique with minimizing trace
lengths is effective in keeping parasitic trace reactances in the
feedback loop to a minimum. Additionally, all components used
in the feedback network should be in 0402 surface-mount
packages. Figure 45 illustrates the magnified view of a proven
feedback network layout that provides excellent performance. Note
that the internal layers are not shown.
It is strongly recommended that the layout shown in Figure 45,
or something very similar, be used for the three AD8143
feedback networks.
A conservative estimate for feedback-loop trace capacitance in
each loop of the layout shown in Figure 45 is 2 pF. This value is
viewed as the minimum load capacitance and is reflected in the
frequency response and transient response plots.
Maximizing Heat Removal
The AD8143 pinout includes ground connections on its corner
pins to facilitate heat removal. These pins should be connected
to the exposed paddle on the underside of the AD8143 and to a
ground plane on the component side of the board. Additionally,
a 5 × 5 array of thermal vias connecting the exposed paddle to
internal ground planes should be placed inside the PCB pad
that is soldered to the exposed paddle. Using these techniques
is highly recommended in all applications, and is required in
±12 V applications where power dissipation is the greatest.
Figure 45 illustrates how to optimize the circuit board layout
for heat removal.
Designs must often conform to design-for-manufacturing
(DFM) rules that stipulate how to lay out PCBs in such a way
as to facilitate the manufacturing process. Some of these rules
require thermal relief on pads that connect to planes, and the
rules may preclude the use of the technique illustrated in Figure 45.
In these cases, the ground pins should be connected to the exposed
paddle and component-side ground plane using techniques that
conform to the DFM requirements.

DRIVING A CAPACITIVE LOAD
The AD8143 typically drives either high impedance loads,
such as crosspoint switch inputs, or doubly terminated coaxial
cables. A gain of 1 is commonly used in the high impedance
case because the 6 dB transmission line termination loss is not
incurred. A gain of 2 is required when driving cables to
compensate for the 6 dB termination loss.
In all cases, the output must drive the parasitic capacitance
of the feedback loop, conservatively estimated to be 2 pF, in
addition to the capacitance presented by the actual load. When
driving a high impedance input, it is recommended that a small
series resistor be used to buffer the input capacitance of the
device being driven. Clearly, the resistor value must be small
enough to preserve the required bandwidth. In the ideal doubly
terminated cable case, the AD8143 output sees a purely resistive
load. In reality, there is some residual capacitance, and this is
buffered by the series termination resistor. Figure 46 illustrates
the high impedance case, and Figure 47 illustrates the cable-
driving case.

Figure 47. Driving a Doubly Terminated Cable
Small and large signal frequency responses for the High-Z case
with a 40 Ω series resistor and 10 pF load capacitance are shown
in Figure 10 and Figure 13; transient responses for the same
conditions are shown in Figure 18 and Figure 21. In the cable
driving case shown in Figure 47, CS << 2 pF for a well-designed
circuit; therefore, the feedback loop capacitance is the dominant
capacitive load. The feedback loop capacitance is present for all
cases, and its effect is included in the data presented in the
Typical Performance Characteristics and Specifications tables.
POWER-DOWN
The power-down feature is intended to be used to reduce power
consumption when a particular device is not in use, and does
not place the output in a High-Z state when asserted. The
power-down feature is asserted when the voltage applied to the
power-down pin drops to approximately 2 V below the positive
supply. The AD8143 is enabled by pulling the power-down pin
to the positive supply.
COMPARATORS
In addition to general-purpose applications, the two on-chip
comparators can be used to receive differential digital information
or to decode video sync pulses from received common-mode
voltages. Built-in hysteresis helps to eliminate false triggers
from noise.
The comparator outputs are not designed to drive transmission
lines. When the signals detected by the comparators are driven
over cables or controlled impedance printed circuit board
traces, the comparator outputs must be fed to a spare logic gate,
FPGA, or other device that is capable of driving signals over
transmission lines.
An internal linear voltage regulator derives power for the
comparators from the positive supply; therefore, the AD8143
must always have a minimum positive supply voltage of 4.5 V.
SYNC PULSE EXTRACTION USING COMPARATORS
The AD8143 is particularly useful in keyboard video mouse
(KVM) applications. KVM networks transmit and receive
computer video signals, which are typically comprised of red,
green, and blue (RGB) video signals and separate horizontal
and vertical sync signals. Because the sync signals are separate
and not embedded in the color signals, it is advantageous to
transmit them using a simple scheme that encodes them among
the three common-mode voltages of the RGB signals. The
AD8134 triple differential driver is a natural complement to the
AD8143 and performs the sync pulse encoding with the
necessary circuitry on-chip.
