In this circuit closed loop gain, (AV) = V OUT/ VIN = R F/RG. For all the applications in this data sheet VIN is presumed to be the voltage presented to the circuit by the signal source. For differential signals this will be the difference of the signals on each input (which will be double the magnitude of each individual signal), while in single ended inputs it will just be the driven input signal. The resistors RO help keep the amplifier stable when presented with a load CL as is typical in an analog to digital converter (ADC). When fed with a differential signal, the LMH6551 provides excellent distortion, balance and common mode rejection provided the resistors RF, RG and RO are well matched and strict symmetry is observed in board layout. With a DC CMRR of over 80dB, the DC and low frequency CMRR of most circuits will be dominated by the external resistors and board trace resistance. At higher frequencies board layout symmetry becomes a factor as well. Precision resistors of at least 0.1% accuracy are recommended and careful board layout will also be required. The LMH6551 is a fully differential amplifier designed to provide low distortion amplification to wide bandwidth differential signals. The LMH6551, though fully integrated for ultimate balance and distortion performance, functionally provides three channels. Two of these channels are the V+ and V- signal path channels, which function similarly to inverting mode operational amplifiers and are the primary signal paths. The third channel is the common mode feedback circuit. This is the circuit that sets the output common mode as well as driving the V+ and V- outputs to be equal magnitude and opposite phase, even when only one of the two input channels is driven. The common mode feedback circuit allows single ended to differential operation. The LMH6551 is a voltage feedback amplifier with gain set by external resistors. Output common mode voltage is set by the VCM pin. This pin should be driven by a low impedance reference and should be bypassed to ground with a 0.1 F ceramic capacitor. Any signal coupling into the VCM will be passed along to the output and will reduce the dynamic range of the amplifier. FULLY DIFFERENTIAL OPERATION The LMH6551 will perform best when used with split supplies and in a fully differential configuration. See Figure 1 and Figure 2 for recommend circuits. 20133202 FIGURE 2. Fully Differential Cable Driver 20133204 FIGURE 1. Typical Application 11 www.national.com LMH6551 With up to 15 VPP differential output voltage swing and 80 mA of linear drive current the LMH6551 makes an excellent cable driver as shown in Figure 2. The LMH6551 is also suitable for driving differential cables from a single ended source. The LMH6551 requires supply bypassing capacitors as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4. The 0.01 F and 0.1 F capacitors should be leadless SMT ceramic capacitors and should be no more than 3 mm from the supply pins. The SMT capacitors should be connected directly to a ground plane. Thin traces or small vias will reduce the effectiveness of bypass capacitors. Also shown in both figures is a capacitor from the VCM pin to ground. The VCM pin is a high impedance input to a buffer which sets the output common mode voltage. Any noise on this input is transferred directly to the output. Output common mode noise will result in loss of dynamic range, degraded CMRR, degraded Balance and higher distortion. The VCM pin should be bypassed even if the pin in not used. There is an internal resistive divider on chip to set the output common mode voltage to the mid point of the supply pins. The impedance looking into this pin is approximately 25 k. If a different output common mode voltage is desired drive this pin with a clean, accurate voltage reference. SINGLE ENDED INPUT TO DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT The LMH6551 provides excellent performance as an active balun transformer. Figure 5 shows a typical application where an LMH6551 is used to produce a differential signal from a single ended source. In single ended input operation the output common mode voltage is set by the VCM pin as in fully differential mode. Also, in this mode the common mode feedback circuit must recreate the signal that is not present on the unused differential input pin. The performance chart titled "Balance Error" is the measurement of the effectiveness of this process. The common mode feedback circuit is responsible for ensuring balanced output with a single ended input. Balance error is defined as the amount of input signal that couples into the output common mode. It is measured as a the undesired output common mode swing divided by the signal on the input. Balance error can be caused by either a channel to channel gain error, or phase error. Either condition will produce a common mode shift. The chart titled "Balance Error" measures the balance error with a single ended input as that is the most demanding mode of operation for the amplifier. Supply and VCM pin bypassing are also critical in this mode of operation. See the above section on FULLY DIFFERENTIAL OPERATION for bypassing recommendations and also see Figure 3 and Figure 4 for recommended supply bypassing configurations. 20133201 FIGURE 3. Split Supply Bypassing Capacitors 20133212 FIGURE 4. Single Supply Bypassing Capacitors www.national.com 12 LMH6551 20133242 FIGURE 5. Single Ended In to Differential Out SINGLE SUPPLY OPERATION The input stage of the LMH6551 has a built in offset of 0.7V towards the lower supply to accommodate single supply operation with single ended inputs. As shown in Figure 5 , the input common mode voltage is less than the output common voltage. It is set by current flowing through the feedback network from the device output. The input common mode range of 0.4V to 3.2V places constraints on gain settings. Possible solutions to this limitation include AC coupling the input signal, using split power supplies and limiting stage gain. AC coupling with single supply is shown in Figure 6. In Figure 5 closed loop gain = VO / VI RF / RG, where VI =VS / 2, as long as RM << RG. Note that in single ended to differential operation VI is measured single ended while VO is measured differentially. This means that gain is really 1/2 or 6 dB less when measured on either of the output pins separately. Additionally, note that the input signal at RT (labeled as VI) is 1/2 of VS when RT is chosen to match RS to RIN. VICM = Input common mode voltage = (VI1+VI2) / 2. 20133209 FIGURE 6. AC Coupled for Single Supply Operation 13 www.national.com LMH6551 The amplifier and ADC should be located as closely together as possible. Both devices require that the filter components be in close proximity to them. The amplifier needs to have minimal parasitic loading on the output traces and the ADC is sensitive to high frequency noise that may couple in on its input lines. Some high performance ADCs have an input stage that has a bandwidth of several times its sample rate. The sampling process results in all input signals presented to the input stage mixing down into the Nyquist range (DC to Fs/ 2). See AN-236 for more details on the subsampling process and the requirements this imposes on the filtering necessary in your system. DRIVING ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTERS Analog to digital converters (ADC) present challenging load conditions. They typically have high impedance inputs with large and often variable capacitive components. As well, there are usually current spikes associated with switched capacitor or sample and hold circuits. Figure 7 shows a typical circuit for driving an ADC. The two 56 resistors serve to isolate the capacitive loading of the ADC from the amplifier and ensure stability. In addition, the resistors form part of a low pass filter which helps to provide anti alias and noise reduction functions. The two 39 pF capacitors help to smooth the current spikes associated with the internal switching circuits of the ADC and also are a key component in the low pass filtering of the ADC input. In the circuit of Figure 7the cutoff frequency of the filter is 1/ (2**56 *(39 pF + 14pF)) = 53MHz (which is slightly less than the sampling frequency). Note that the ADC input capacitance must be factored into the frequency response of the input filter, and that being a differential input the effective input capacitance is double. Also as shown in Figure 7 the input capacitance to many ADCs is variable based on the clock cycle. See the data sheet for your particular ADC for details. USING TRANSFORMERS Transformers are useful for impedance transformation as well as for single to differential, and differential to single ended conversion. A transformer can be used to step up the output voltage of the amplifier to drive very high impedance loads as shown in Figure 8. Figure 10 shows the opposite case where the output voltage is stepped down to drive a low impedance load. Transformers have limitations that must be considered before choosing to use one. Compared to a differential amplifier, the most serious limitations of a transformer are the inability to pass DC and balance error (which causes distortion and gain errors). For most applications the LMH6551 will have adequate output swing and drive current and a transformer will not be desirable. Transformers are used primarily to interface differential circuits to 50 single ended test equipment to simplify diagnostic testing. 20133205 FIGURE 7. Driving an ADC 20133207 FIGURE 8. Transformer Out High Impedance Load www.national.com 14 LMH6551 20133232 FIGURE 9. Calculating Transformer Circuit Net Gain 20133206 FIGURE 10. Transformer Out Low Impedance Load 20133203 FIGURE 11. Driving 50 Test Equipment 15 www.national.com LMH6551 CAPACITIVE DRIVE As noted in the Driving ADC section, capacitive loads should be isolated from the amplifier output with small valued resistors. This is particularly the case when the load has a resistive component that is 500 or higher. A typical ADC has capacitive components of around 10 pF and the resistive component could be 1000 or higher. If driving a transmission line, such as 50 coaxial or 100 twisted pair, using matching resistors will be sufficient to isolate any subsequent capacitance. For other applications see the "Suggested Rout vs. Cap Load" charts in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. ESD PROTECTION The LMH6551 is protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD) on all pins. The LMH6551 will survive 2000V Human Body model and 200V Machine model events. Under normal operation the ESD diodes have no effect on circuit performance. There are occasions, however, when the ESD diodes will be evident. If the LMH6551 is driven by a large signal while the device is powered down the ESD diodes will conduct . The current that flows through the ESD diodes will either exit the chip through the supply pins or will flow through the device, hence it is possible to power up a chip with a large signal applied to the input pins. POWER DISSIPATION The LMH6551 is optimized for maximum speed and performance in the small form factor of the standard SOIC package, and is essentially a dual channel amplifier. To ensure maximum output drive and highest performance, thermal shutdown is not provided. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to make sure that the TJMAXof 150C is never exceeded due to the overall power dissipation. Follow these steps to determine the Maximum power dissipation for the LMH6551: 1. Calculate the quiescent (no-load) power: PAMP = ICC* (VS), where VS = V+ - V-. (Be sure to include any current through the feedback network if VOCM is not mid rail.) 2. Calculate the RMS power dissipated in each of the output stages: PD (rms) = rms ((VS - V+OUT) * I+OUT) + rms ((VS - V-OUT) * I-OUT) , where VOUT and IOUT are the voltage and the current measured at the output pins of the differential amplifier as if they were single ended amplifiers and VS is the total supply voltage. 3. Calculate the total RMS power: PT = PAMP + PD. The maximum power that the LMH6551 package can dissipate at a given temperature can be derived with the following equation: PMAX = (150 - TAMB)/ JA, where TAMB = Ambient temperature (C) and JA = Thermal resistance, from junction to ambient, for a given package (C/W). For the SOIC package JA is 150 C/W. NOTE: If VCM is not 0V then there will be quiescent current flowing in the feedback network. This current should be included in the thermal calculations and added into the quiescent power dissipation of the amplifier. BOARD LAYOUT The LMH6551 is a very high performance amplifier. In order to get maximum benefit from the differential circuit architecture board layout and component selection is very critical. The circuit board should have low a inductance ground plane and well bypassed broad supply lines. External components should be leadless surface mount types. The feedback network and output matching resistors should be composed of short traces and precision resistors (0.1%). The output matching resistors should be placed within 3-4 mm of the amplifier as should the supply bypass capacitors. The LMH730154 evaluation board is an example of good layout techniques. The LMH6551 is sensitive to parasitic capacitances on the amplifier inputs and to a lesser extent on the outputs as well. Ground and power plane metal should be removed from beneath the amplifier and from beneath RF and RG. With any differential signal path symmetry is very important. Even small amounts of asymmetry will contribute to distortion and balance errors. www.national.com EVALUATION BOARD National Semiconductor offers evaluation board(s) to aid in device testing and characterization and as a guide for proper layout. Generally, a good high frequency layout will keep power supply and ground traces away from the inverting input and output pins. Parasitic capacitances on these nodes to ground will cause frequency response peaking and possible circuit oscillations (see Application Note OA-15 for more information). 16 LMH6551 Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted 8-Pin SOIC NS Package Number M08A 8-Pin MSOP NS Package Number MUA08A 17 www.national.com LMH6551 Differential, High Speed Op Amp Notes For more National Semiconductor product information and proven design tools, visit the following Web sites at: www.national.com Products Design Support Amplifiers www.national.com/amplifiers WEBENCH(R) Tools www.national.com/webench Audio www.national.com/audio App Notes www.national.com/appnotes Clock and Timing www.national.com/timing Reference Designs www.national.com/refdesigns Data Converters www.national.com/adc Samples www.national.com/samples Interface www.national.com/interface Eval Boards www.national.com/evalboards LVDS www.national.com/lvds Packaging www.national.com/packaging Power Management www.national.com/power Green Compliance www.national.com/quality/green Switching Regulators www.national.com/switchers Distributors www.national.com/contacts LDOs www.national.com/ldo Quality and Reliability www.national.com/quality LED Lighting www.national.com/led Feedback/Support www.national.com/feedback Voltage References www.national.com/vref Design Made Easy www.national.com/easy www.national.com/powerwise Applications & Markets www.national.com/solutions Mil/Aero www.national.com/milaero PowerWise(R) Solutions Serial Digital Interface (SDI) www.national.com/sdi Temperature Sensors www.national.com/tempsensors SolarMagicTM www.national.com/solarmagic PLL/VCO www.national.com/wireless www.national.com/training PowerWise(R) Design University THE CONTENTS OF THIS DOCUMENT ARE PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION ("NATIONAL") PRODUCTS.
