GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
–60  
The ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 are low noise, ultralow distortion,  
high speed differential amplifiers. It is an ideal choice for  
driving high performance ADCs with resolutions up to 16 bits  
from dc to 27 MHz, or up to 12 bits from dc to 74 MHz. The  
output common-mode voltage is adjustable over a wide range,  
allowing the ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 to match the input of the  
ADC. The internal common-mode feedback loop also provides  
exceptional output balance as well as suppression of even-order  
harmonic distortion products.

FREQUENCY (MHz)

Full differential and single-ended-to-differential gain configurations  
are easily realized with the ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2. A simple  
external feedback network of four resistors determines the  
closed-loop gain of the amplifier.  
Figure 3. SFDR vs. Frequency and Output Voltage  
makes them well-suited for a wide variety of data acquisition and  
signal processing applications.  
The ADA4938-1 (single amplifier) is available in a Pb-free,  
3 mm × 3 mm, 16-lead LFCSP. The ADA4938-2 (dual  
amplifier) is available in a Pb-free, 4 mm × 4 mm, 24-lead  
LFCSP. The pinouts have been optimized to facilitate layout and  
minimize distortion. The devices are specified to operate over  
the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.  
The ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 are fabricated using the Analog  
Devices, Inc., proprietary third generation, high voltage XFCB  
process, enabling it to achieve very low levels of distortion with  
an input voltage noise of only 2.6 nV/√Hz. e low dc offset and  
excellent dynamic performance of the ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS  
Table 5.  
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. 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. The power due to load drive is calculated  
by multiplying the load current by the associated voltage drop  
across the device. RMS voltages and currents must be used in  
these calculations.

Airflow increases heat dissipation, which effectively reduces θJA.  
In addition, more metal directly in contact with the package  
leads/exposed pad from metal traces, through-holes, ground,  
and power planes reduces the θJA.  
Stresses at or above those listed under Absolute Maximum  
Ratings may cause permanent damage to the product. This is a  
stress rating only; functional operation of the product at these  
or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational  
section of this specification is not implied. Operation beyond  
the maximum operating conditions for extended periods may  
affect product reliability.  
Figure 4 shows the maximum safe power dissipation in the  
package vs. the ambient temperature for the ADA4938-1,  
16-lead LFCSP (95°C/W) and the ADA4938-2, 24-lead LFCSP  
(65°C/W) on a JEDEC standard 4-layer board.  
THERMAL RESISTANCE  
3.5  
θJA is specified for the device (including exposed pad) soldered  
to a high thermal conductivity 4-layer circuit board, as described in  
EIA/JESD 51-7. The exposed pad is not electrically connected to  
the device. It is typically soldered to a pad on the PCB that is  
thermally and electrically connected to an internal ground plane.

The maximum safe power dissipation in the ADA4938-1/  
ADA4938-2 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  
ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2. Exceeding a junction temperature of  
150°C for an extended period can result in changes in the silicon  
devices, potentially causing failure.

Balance  
+FB  
Balance is a measure of how well differential signals are matched in  
amplitude and are 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 midpoint of the divider with  
the magnitude of the differential signal. By this definition,  
output balance is the magnitude of the output common-mode  
voltage divided by the magnitude of the output differential  
mode voltage.  
Figure 57. Circuit Definitions  
Differential Voltage  
The differential voltage is the difference between two node  
voltages. For example, the output differential voltage (or  
equivalently, output differential-mode voltage) is defined as  
V
OUT, dm = (V+OUT V−OUT)  
where V+OUT and V−OUT refer to the voltages at the +OUT and  
−OUT terminals with respect to a common reference.

ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
The ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 differ from conventional op amps  
in that they have two outputs whose voltages move in opposite  
directions. Like an op amp, it relies on open-loop gain and  
negative feedback to force these outputs to the desired voltages.  
The ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 behave much like a standard  
voltage feedback op amp and makes it easier to perform single-  
ended-to-differential conversions, common-mode level shifting,  
and amplifications of differential signals. Also like an op amp,  
the ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 have high input impedance and  
low output impedance.  
SETTING THE CLOSED-LOOP GAIN  
The differential-mode gain of the circuit in Figure 57 can be  
determined by  
VOUT, dm  
RF  
RG  
=
VIN, dm  
This assumes the input resistors (RG) and feedback resistors (RF)  
on each side are equal.  
ESTIMATING THE OUTPUT NOISE VOLTAGE  
Two feedback loops are employed to 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 set the  
output common-mode level to any arbitrary value. 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.  
The differential output noise of the ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2  
can be estimated using the noise model in Figure 58. The input-  
referred noise voltage density, vnIN, is modeled as a differential  
input, and the noise currents, inIN− and inIN+, appear between  
each input and ground. The noise currents are assumed to be  
equal and produce a voltage across the parallel combination of  
the gain and feedback resistances. vn, cm is the noise voltage  
density at the VOCM pin. Each of the four resistors contributes  
(4kTR)1/2. Table 9 summarizes the input noise sources, the  
multiplication factors, and the output-referred noise density terms.  
The ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 architecture results in outputs  
that are 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 zero, which results in nearly perfectly  
balanced differential outputs that are identical in amplitude and  
are exactly 180° apart in phase.

The ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 use open-loop gain and negative

defined as the voltage between the differential inputs labeled

Similar to the case of a conventional op amp, the output noise  
voltage densities can be estimated by multiplying the input-  
referred terms at +IN and −IN by the appropriate output factor,  
where:  
CALCULATING THE INPUT IMPEDANCE OF AN  
APPLICATION CIRCUIT  
The effective input impedance of a circuit depends on whether  
the amplifier is being driven by a single-ended or differential  
signal source. For balanced differential input signals, as shown  
in Figure 59, the input impedance (RIN, dm) between the inputs  
(+DIN and −DIN) is simply RIN, dm = 2 × RG.

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 remain 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.

As well as causing a noise contribution from VOCM, ratio matching  
errors in the external resistors result in a degradation of the  
ability of the circuit to reject input common-mode signals, much  
the same as for a four-resistor difference amplifier made from a  
conventional op amp.

Figure 60. ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 Configured for Unbalanced  
(Single-Ended) Input  
The input impedance of the circuit is effectively higher than it  
would be for a conventional op amp connected as an inverter  
because a fraction of the differential output voltage appears at  
the inputs as a common-mode signal, partially bootstrapping  
the voltage across the Input Gain Resistor RG.  
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. When G = +1, with a  
ground referenced input signal and the output common-mode  
level set to 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, a worst-case differential-mode  
output offset of 25 mV due to 2.5 V level-shift, and no significant  
degradation in output balance error.  
INPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE RANGE IN  
SINGLE-SUPPLY APPLICATIONS  
The ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 is optimized for level-shifting,  
ground-referenced input signals. As such, the center of the input  
common-mode range is shifted approximately 1 V down from  
midsupply. The input common-mode range at the summing  
nodes of the amplifier is from 0.3 V above −VS to 1.6 V below  
+VS. To avoid clipping at the outputs, the voltage swing at the  
+IN and −IN terminals must be confined to these ranges.

SETTING THE OUTPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE  
Figure 62. Adding Termination Resistor RT  
The VOCM pin of the ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 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.  
3. To compensate for the imbalance of the gain resistors, a correc-  
tion resistor (RTS) is added in series with the inverting Input  
Gain Resistor RG. RTS is equal to the Thevenin equivalent of  
the source resistance (RS||RT).

It is also possible to connect the VOCM input to a common-mode

ensure that the output has sufficient drive capability. The input  
impedance of the VOCM pin is approximately 10 kΩ. If multiple  
ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 devices share one reference output, it is  
recommended that a buffer be used.

ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2  
LAYOUT, GROUNDING, AND BYPASSING  
As high speed devices, the ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 are  
sensitive to the PCB environment in which it operates.  
Realizing its superior performance requires attention to the  
details of high speed PCB design.  
Bypass the power supply pins as close to the device as possible  
and directly to a nearby ground plane. Use high frequency ceramic  
chip capacitors. It is recommended that two parallel bypass capa-  
citors (1000 pF and 0.1 μF) be used for each supply with the  
1000 pF capacitor placed closer to the device; if further away,  
provide low frequency bypassing using 10 μF tantalum capacitors  
from each supply to ground.  
The first requirement is a solid ground plane that covers as much of  
the board area around the ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 as possible.  
However, the area near the feedback resistors (RF), input gain  
resistors (RG), and the input summing nodes should be cleared  
of all ground and power planes (see Figure 66). Clearing the  
ground and power planes minimizes any stray capacitance at  
these nodes and prevents peaking of the response of the  
amplifier at high frequencies.  
Signal routing should be short and direct to avoid parasitic  
effects. Wherever complementary signals exist, provide a  
symmetrical layout to maximize balanced performance.  
When routing differential signals over a long distance, keep  
PCB traces close together and twist any differential wiring to  
minimize loop area. Doing this reduces radiated energy and  
makes the circuit less susceptible to interference.  
The thermal resistance, θJA, is specified for the device, including  
the exposed pad, soldered to a high thermal conductivity 4-layer  
circuit board, as described in EIA/JESD 51-7. The exposed pad  
is electrically isolated from the device; therefore, it can be con-  
nected to a ground plane using vias. Examples of the thermal  
attach pad and via structure for the ADA4938-1 are shown in  
Figure 67 and Figure 68.

Data Sheet  
HIGH PERFORMANCE ADC DRIVING  
The ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 are ideally suited for dc-coupled  
baseband applications. The circuit in Figure 69 shows a front-end  
connection for an ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 driving an AD9446,  
16-bit, 80 MSPS ADC. The AD9446 achieves its optimum  
performance when it is driven differentially. The ADA4938-1/  
ADA4938-2 eliminate the need for a transformer to drive the  
ADC, performs a single-ended-to-differential conversion,  
buffers the driving signal, and provides appropriate level  
shifting for dc coupling.  
The ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 are configured with a single 10 V  
supply and unity gain for a single-ended input to differential  
output. The 61.9 Ω termination resistor, in parallel with the  
single-ended input impedance of 267 Ω, provides a 50 Ω  
termination for the source. The additional 26 Ω (226 Ω total) at the  
inverting input balances the parallel impedance of the 50 Ω  
source and the termination resistor driving the noninverting  
input.  
The signal generator has a symmetric, ground-referenced bipolar  
output. The VOCM pin of the ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 is biased  
with an external resistor divider to obtain the desired 3.5 V output  
common-mode. One-half of the common-mode voltage is fed  
back to the summing nodes, biasing −IN and +IN at 1.75 V. For a  
common-mode voltage of 3.5 V, each ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2  
output swings between 2.7 V and 4.3 V, providing a 3.2 V p-p  
differential output.  
The output of the amplifier is dc-coupled to the ADC through a  
second-order, low-pass filter with a −3 dB frequency of 50 MHz.  
The filter reduces the noise bandwidth of the amplifier and  
isolates the driver outputs from the ADC inputs.  
The circuit in Figure 70 shows a simplified front-end connection  
for an ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 driving an AD9246, 14-bit,  
125 MSPS ADC. The AD9246 achieves its optimum  
performance when it is driven differentially. The ADA4938-1/  
ADA4938-2 eliminate the need for a transformer to drive the  
ADC, performs a single-ended-to-differential conversion,  
buffers the driving signal, and provides appropriate level  
shifting for dc coupling.  
The ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 are configured with dual 5 V  
supplies and a gain of ~2 V/V for a single-ended input to  
differential output. The 76.8 Ω termination resistor, in parallel  
with the single-ended input impedance of 137 Ω, provides a 50 Ω  
dc termination for the source. The additional 30.1 Ω (120 Ω total)  
at the inverting input balances the parallel dc impedance of the  
50 Ω source and the termination resistor driving the  
noninverting input.  
The signal generator has a symmetric, ground-referenced  
bipolar output. The VOCM pin of the ADA4938-1/ADA4938-2 is  
connected to the CML pin of the AD9246 to set the output  
common-mode level at the appropriate point. A portion of this  
is fed back to the summing nodes, biasing −IN and +IN at 0.55 V.  
For a common-mode voltage of 0.9 V, each ADA4938-1/  
ADA4938-2 output swings between 0.4 V and 1.4 V, providing a  
2 V p-p differential output.  
The output is dc-coupled to a single-pole, low-pass filter. The filter  
reduces the noise bandwidth of the amplifier and provides some  
level of isolation from the switched capacitor inputs of the ADC.  
The AD9246 is set for a 2 V p-p full-scale input by connecting the  
SENSE pin to AGND. The inputs of the AD9246 are biased at  
1 V by connecting the CML output, as shown in Figure 70.  
The AD9446 is configured for a 4.0 V p-p full-scale input by  
setting R1 = R2 = 1 kΩ between the VREF pin and SENSE pin  
in Figure 69.
