GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD8138 is a major advancement over op amps for  
differential signal processing. The AD8138 can be used as a  
single-ended-to-differential amplifier or as a differential-to-  
differential amplifier. The AD8138 is as easy to use as an op  
amp and greatly simplifies differential signal amplification and  
driving. Manufactured on ADIs proprietary XFCB bipolar  
process, the AD8138 has a −3 dB bandwidth of 320 MHz and  
delivers a differential signal with the lowest harmonic distortion  
available in a differential amplifier. The AD8138 has a unique  
internal feedback feature that provides balanced output gain  
and phase matching, suppressing even order harmonics. The  
internal feed-back circuit also minimizes any gain error that  
would be associated with the mismatches in the external gain  
setting resistors.  
The AD8138 eliminates the need for a transformer with high  
performance ADCs, preserving the low frequency and dc infor-  
mation. The common-mode level of the differential output is  
adjustable by a voltage on the VOCM pin, easily level-shifting the  
input signals for driving single-supply ADCs. Fast overload  
recovery preserves sampling accuracy.  
The AD8138 distortion performance makes it an ideal ADC  
driver for communication systems, with distortion performance  
good enough to drive state-of-the-art 10-bit to 16-bit converters  
at high frequencies. The AD8138s high bandwidth and IP3 also  
make it appropriate for use as a gain block in IF and baseband  
signal chains. The AD8138 offset and dynamic performance  
makes it well suited for a wide variety of signal processing and  
data acquisition applications.  
The AD8138s differential output helps balance the input to  
differential ADCs, maximizing the performance of the ADC.  
The AD8138 is available in both SOIC and MSOP packages for  
operation over −40°C to +85°C temperatures.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS  
Table 5.  
Parameter  
The power dissipated in the package (PD) is the sum of the  
Ratings  
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  
internal common-mode feedback loop. The internal resistor tap  
used in the common-mode feedback loop places a negligible  
differential load on the output. RMS voltages and currents  
should be considered when dealing with ac signals.

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.  
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  
(121°C/W) and 8-lead MSOP (θJA = 145°C/W) packages on a  
JEDEC standard 4-layer board. θJA values are approximations.  
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.

Maximum Power Dissipation  
0.75  
The maximum safe power dissipation in the AD8138 packages  
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 AD8138. Exceeding a junction temperature  
of 150°C for an extended period can result in changes in the  
silicon devices, potentially causing failure.

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.

Balance is a measure of how well differential signals are  
matched in amplitude and exactly 180° apart in phase. Balance  
is most easily determined by placing a well-matched resistor  
divider between the differential voltage nodes and comparing  
the magnitude of the signal at the dividers midpoint with the  
magnitude of the differential signal (see Figure 41). By this  
definition, output balance is the magnitude of the output  
common-mode voltage divided by the magnitude of the output  
differential mode voltage:

AD8138  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
The AD8138 differs from conventional op amps in that it has  
two outputs whose voltages move in opposite directions. Like  
an op amp, it relies on high open-loop gain and negative  
feedback to force these outputs to the desired voltages. The  
AD8138 behaves much like a standard voltage feedback op  
amp and makes it easy to perform single-ended-to-differential  
conversion, common-mode level-shifting, and amplification of  
differential signals. Also like an op amp, the AD8138 has high  
input impedance and low output impedance.  
ANALYZING AN APPLICATION CIRCUIT  
The AD8138 uses high open-loop gain and negative feedback to  
force its differential and common-mode output voltages in such  
a way as to minimize the differential and common-mode error  
voltages. The differential error voltage is defined as the voltage  
between the differential inputs labeled +IN and −IN in Figure 42.  
For most purposes, this voltage can be assumed to be zero.  
Similarly, the difference between the actual output common-  
mode voltage and the voltage applied to VOCM can also be  
assumed to be zero. Starting from these two assumptions, any  
application circuit can be analyzed.  
Previous differential drivers, both discrete and integrated  
designs, have been based on using two independent amplifiers  
and two independent feedback loops, one to control each of the  
outputs. When these circuits are driven from a single-ended  
source, the resulting outputs are typically not well balanced.  
Achieving a balanced output has typically required exceptional  
matching of the amplifiers and feedback networks.  
SETTING THE CLOSED-LOOP GAIN  
Neglecting the capacitors CF, the differential-mode gain of the  
circuit in Figure 42 can be determined to be described by

VOUT, dm  
RF

DC common-mode level-shifting has also been difficult with  
previous differential drivers. Level-shifting has required the use  
of a third amplifier and feedback loop to control the output  
common-mode level. Sometimes the third amplifier has also  
been used to attempt to correct an inherently unbalanced  
circuit. Excellent performance over a wide frequency range  
has proven difficult with this approach.

This assumes the input resistors, RG , and feedback resistors, RF ,  
on each side are equal.  
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. The noise gain is defined as  
The AD8138 uses two feedback loops to separately control the  
differential and common-mode output voltages. The differential  
feedback, set with external resistors, controls only the differential  
output voltage. The common-mode feedback controls only the  
common-mode output voltage. This architecture makes it easy  
to arbitrarily set the output common-mode level. It is forced, by  
internal common-mode feedback, to be equal to the voltage  
applied to the VOCM input, without affecting the differential  
output voltage.  
RF  
RG  
GN = 1+  
To compute the total output referred noise for the circuit of  
Figure 42, consideration must also be given to the contribution  
of the Resistors RF and RG. Refer to Table 8 for the estimated  
output noise voltage densities at various closed-loop gains.  
The AD8138 architecture results in outputs that are very highly  
balanced over a wide frequency range without requiring tightly  
matched external components. The common-mode feedback  
loop forces the signal component of the output common-mode  
voltage to be zeroed. The result is nearly perfectly balanced  
differential outputs of identical amplitude and exactly  
180° apart in phase.

The effective input impedance of a circuit such as the one in

of the other network, there is a differential output noise due to  
input-referred voltage in the VOCM circuitry. The output noise is  
defined in terms of the following feedback terms (refer to  
Figure 42):  
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

.
THE IMPACT OF MISMATCHES IN THE FEEDBACK  
NETWORKS  
As previously mentioned, even if the external feedback  
networks (RF/RG) are mismatched, the internal common-mode  
feedback loop still forces the outputs to remain balanced. The  
amplitudes of the signals at each output remains equal and 180°  
out of phase. The input-to-output differential-mode gain varies  
proportionately to the feedback mismatch, but the output  
balance is unaffected.  
SETTING THE OUTPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE  
The AD8138s VOCM pin is internally biased at a voltage  
approximately equal to the midsupply point (average value of  
the voltages on V+ and V−). Relying on this internal bias results  
in an output common-mode voltage that is within about  
100 mV of the expected value.  
Ratio matching errors in the external resistors result in a  
degradation of the circuits ability to reject input common-  
mode signals, much the same as for a four-resistor difference  
amplifier made from a conventional op amp.  
In cases where more accurate control of the output common-  
mode level is required, it is recommended that an external  
source, or resistor divider (made up of 10 kΩ resistors), be used.  
The output common-mode offset listed in the Specifications  
section assumes the VOCM input is driven by a low impedance  
voltage source.  
In addition, if the dc levels of the input and output common-  
mode voltages are different, matching errors result in a small  
differential-mode output offset voltage. For the G = 1 case, with  
a ground referenced input signal and the output common-mode  
level set for 2.5 V, an output offset of as much as 25 mV (1% of  
the difference in common-mode levels) can result if 1% tolerance  
resistors are used. Resistors of 1% tolerance result in a worst-  
case input CMRR of about 40 dB, worst-case differential mode  
output offset of 25 mV due to 2.5 V level-shift, and no significant  
degradation in output balance error.  
DRIVING A CAPACITIVE LOAD  
A purely capacitive load can react with the pin and bondwire  
inductance of the AD8138, resulting in high frequency ringing  
in the pulse response. One way to minimize this effect is to  
place a small capacitor across each of the feedback resistors. The  
added capacitance should be small to avoid destabilizing the  
amplifier. An alternative technique is to place a small resistor in  
series with the amplifiers outputs, as shown in Figure 40.  
Rev. F | Page 18 of 24  
 
AD8138  
LAYOUT, GROUNDING, AND BYPASSING  
As a high speed part, the AD8138 is sensitive to the PCB  
environment in which it has to operate. Realizing its superior  
specifications requires attention to various details of good high  
speed PCB design.  
The power supply pins should be bypassed as close as possible  
to the device to the nearby ground plane. Good high frequency  
ceramic chip capacitors should be used. This bypassing should  
be done with a capacitance value of 0.01 μF to 0.1 μF for each  
supply. Further away, low frequency bypassing should be provided  
with 10 μF tantalum capacitors from each supply to ground.  
The first requirement is for a good solid ground plane that  
covers as much of the board area around the AD8138 as  
possible. The only exception to this is that the two input pins  
(Pin 1 and Pin 8) should be kept a few millimeters from the  
ground plane, and ground should 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. frequency.  
The signal routing should be short and direct to avoid parasitic  
effects. Wherever there are complementary signals, a symmetrical  
layout should be provided to the extent possible to maximize  
the balance performance. When running differential signals  
over a long distance, the traces on the PCB should be close  
together or any differential wiring should be twisted together to  
minimize the area of the loop that is formed. This reduces the  
radiated energy and makes the circuit less susceptible to  
interference.

AD8138  
BALANCED TRANSFORMER DRIVER  
Transformers are among the oldest devices used to perform a  
single-ended-to-differential conversion (and vice versa). Trans-  
formers can also perform the additional functions of galvanic  
isolation, step-up or step-down of voltages, and impedance  
transformation. For these reasons, transformers always find  
uses in certain applications.  
The well-balanced outputs of the AD8138 provide a drive signal  
to each of the transformers primary inputs that are of equal  
amplitude and 180° out of phase. Therefore, depending on how  
the polarity of the secondary is connected, the signals that  
conduct across the interwinding capacitance either both assist  
the transformer’s secondary signal equally, or both buck the  
secondary signals. In either case, the parasitic effect is  
symmetrical and provides a well-balanced transformer output  
(see Figure 45).  
However, when driving the transformer in a single-ended  
manner, there is an imbalance at the output due to the parasitics  
inherent in the transformer. The primary (or driven) side of the  
transformer has one side at dc potential (usually ground), while  
the other side is driven. This can cause problems in systems that  
require good balance of the transformers differential output  
signals.

If the interwinding capacitance (CSTRAY) is assumed to be  
uniformly distributed, a signal from the driving source couples  
to the secondary output terminal that is closest to the primarys  
driven side. On the other hand, no signal is coupled to the  
opposite terminal of the secondary because its nearest primary  
terminal is not driven (see Figure 43). The exact amount of this  
imbalance depends on the particular parasitics of the trans-  
former, but is mostly a problem at higher frequencies.

The circuit in Figure 43 shows a Mini-Circuits® T1-6T  
transformer connected with its primary driven single-endedly  
and the secondary connected with a precision voltage divider  
across its terminals. The voltage divider is made up of two  
500 Ω, 0.005% precision resistors. The voltage VUNBAL, which is  
also equal to the ac common-mode voltage, is a measure of how  
closely the outputs are balanced.

HIGH PERFORMANCE ADC DRIVING  
The circuit in Figure 46 shows a simplified front-end  
connection for an AD8138 driving an AD9224, a 12-bit,  
40 MSPS ADC. The ADC works best when driven differentially,  
which minimizes its distortion. The AD8138 eliminates the  
need for a transformer to drive the ADC and performs single-  
ended-to-differential conversion, common-mode level-shifting,  
and buffering of the driving signal.  
The signal generator has a ground-referenced, bipolar output,  
that is, it drives symmetrically above and below ground.  
Connecting VOCM to the CML pin of the AD9224 sets the output  
common-mode of the AD8138 at 2.5 V, which is the midsupply  
level for the AD9224. This voltage is bypassed by a 0.1 μF  
capacitor.  
The full-scale analog input range of the AD9224 is set to  
4 V p-p, by shorting the SENSE terminal to AVSS. This has  
been determined to be the scaling to provide minimum  
harmonic distortion.  
The positive and negative outputs of the AD8138 are connected  
to the respective differential inputs of the AD9224 via a pair of  
49.9 Ω resistors to minimize the effects of the switched-capacitor  
front end of the AD9224. For best distortion performance, it  
runs from supplies of 5 V.  
For the AD8138 to swing at 4 V p-p, each output swings 2 V p-p  
while providing signals that are 180° out of phase. With a  
common-mode voltage at the output of 2.5 V, each AD8138  
output swings between 1.5 V and 3.5 V.  
The AD8138 is configured with unity gain for a single-ended,  
input-to-differential output. The additional 23 Ω, 523 Ω total, at  
the input to −IN is to balance the parallel impedance of the  
50 Ω source and its 50 Ω termination that drives the  
noninverting input.  
A ground-referenced 4 V p-p, 5 MHz signal at DIN+ was used to  
test the circuit in Figure 46. When the combined-device circuit  
was run with a sampling rate of 20 MSPS, the spurious-free  
dynamic range (SFDR) was measured at −85 dBc.

The circuit in Figure 47 shows a simplified front-end

frequencies. Figure 48 shows a plot of the total harmonic  
distortion (THD) vs. frequency at signal amplitudes of 1 V and  
2 V differential drive levels.  
connection for an AD8138 driving an AD9203, a 10-bit,  
40 MSPS ADC that is specified to work on a single 3 V supply.  
The ADC works best when driven differentially to make the  
best use of the signal swing available within the 3 V supply.  
The appropriate outputs of the AD8138 are connected to the  
appropriate differential inputs of the AD9203 via a low-pass filter.

The AD8138 is configured for unity gain for a single-ended  
input to differential output. The additional 23 Ω at the input to  
−IN is to balance the impedance of the 50 Ω source and its 50 Ω  
termination that drives the noninverting input.

The signal generator has ground-referenced, bipolar output,  
that is, it can drive symmetrically above and below ground.  
Even though the AD8138 has ground as its negative supply, it  
can still function as a level-shifter with such an input signal.

The output common mode is raised up to midsupply by the  
voltage divider that biases VOCM. In this way, the AD8138  
provides dc coupling and level-shifting of a bipolar signal,  
without inverting the input signal.  
FREQUENCY (MHz)  
Figure 48. AD9203 THD @ −0.5 dBFS AD8138  
Figure 49 shows the signal-to-noise-plus distortion (SINAD)  
under the same conditions as above. For the smaller signal  
swing, the AD8138 performance is quite good, but its  
performance degrades when trying to swing too close to the  
supply rails.  
The low-pass filter between the AD8138 and the AD9203  
provides filtering that helps to improve the signal-to-noise ratio  
(SNR). Lower noise can be realized by lowering the pole  
frequency, but the bandwidth of the circuit is lowered.
