GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
–80  
The ADA4939 is a low noise, ultralow distortion, high speed  
differential amplifier. It is an ideal choice for driving high  
performance ADCs with resolutions up to 16 bits from dc to  
100 MHz. The output common-mode voltage is user adjustable  
by means of an internal common-mode feedback loop, allowing  
the ADA4939 output to match the input of the ADC. The internal  
feedback loop also provides exceptional output balance as well as  
suppression of even-order harmonic distortion products.

FREQUENCY (MHz)  
With the ADA4939, differential gain configurations are easily  
realized with a simple external feedback network of four resistors  
that determine the closed-loop gain of the amplifier.  
Figure 3. Harmonic Distortion vs. Frequency  
The ADA4939 is available in a Pb-free, 3 mm × 3 mm 16-lead  
LFCSP (ADA4939-1, single) or a Pb-free, 4 mm × 4 mm 24-lead  
LFCSP (ADA4939-2, dual). The pinout has been optimized to  
facilitate PCB layout and minimize distortion. The ADA4939-1  
and the ADA4939-2 are specified to operate over the −40°C to  
+105°C temperature range; both operate on supplies between  
3.3 V and 5 V.  
The ADA4939 is fabricated using Analog Devices, Inc., proprietary  
silicon-germanium (SiGe), complementary bipolar process,  
enabling it to achieve very low levels of distortion with an input  
voltage noise of only 2.3 nV/√Hz. The low dc offset and excellent  
dynamic performance of the ADA4939 make it well suited for a  
wide variety of data acquisition and signal processing applications.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS  
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, effectively reducing θJA. In  
addition, more metal directly in contact with the package leads/  
exposed pad from metal traces, through holes, ground, and power  
planes reduces θJA.

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.  
Figure 4 shows the maximum safe power dissipation in the  
package vs. the ambient temperature for the single 16-lead  
LFCSP (98°C/W) and the dual 24-lead LFCSP (67°C/W) on a  
JEDEC standard four-layer board with the exposed pad  
soldered to a PCB pad that is connected to a solid plane.

The maximum safe power dissipation in the ADA4939 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 ADA4939. Exceeding a junction temperature  
of 150°C for an extended period can result in changes in the  
silicon devices, potentially causing failure.

Output balance is a measure of how close the differential signals  
are to being equal in amplitude and opposite in phase. Output  
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 divider midpoint  
with the magnitude of the differential signal (see Figure 39). By  
this definition, output balance is the magnitude of the output  
common-mode voltage divided by the magnitude of the output  
differential mode voltage.

±ifferential Voltage  
Differential voltage refers to 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.

ADA4939-1/ADA4939-2  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
The ADA4939 differs from conventional op amps in that it has  
two outputs whose voltages move in opposite directions and an  
additional input, VOCM. Like an op amp, it relies on high open-  
loop gain and negative feedback to force these outputs to the  
desired voltages. The ADA4939 behaves much like a standard  
voltage feedback op amp and facilitates single-ended-to-differential  
conversions, common-mode level shifting, and amplifications of  
differential signals. Like an op amp, the ADA4939 has high input  
impedance and low output impedance. Because it uses voltage  
feedback, the ADA4939 manifests a nominally constant gain-  
bandwidth product.  
SETTING THE CLOSED-LOOP GAIN  
The differential-mode gain of the circuit in Figure 42 can be  
determined by  
VOUT, dm  
RF  
RG  
=
VIN, dm  
This presumes that the input resistors (RG) and feedback resistors  
(RF) on each side are equal.  
STABLE FOR GAINS ≥2  
The ADA4939 frequency response exhibits excessive peaking  
for differential gains <2; therefore, the part should be operated  
with differential gains ≥2.  
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 within the specified  
limits. The output common-mode voltage is forced, by the internal  
common-mode feedback loop, to be equal to the voltage applied  
to the VOCM input.  
ESTIMATING THE OUTPUT NOISE VOLTAGE  
The differential output noise of the ADA4939 can be estimated  
using the noise model in Figure 43. 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 output voltage due to vnIN is obtained by multiplying  
v
nIN by the noise gain, GN (defined in the GN equation that  
The internal common-mode feedback loop produces outputs  
that are highly balanced over a wide frequency range without  
requiring tightly matched external components. This results in  
differential outputs that are very close to the ideal of being  
identical in amplitude and are exactly 180° apart in phase.  
follows). The noise currents are uncorrelated with the same  
mean-square value, and each produces an output voltage that is  
equal to the noise current multiplied by the associated feedback  
resistance. The noise voltage density at the VOCM pin is vnCM  
.
When the feedback networks have the same feedback factor, as  
in most cases, the output noise due to vnCM is common-mode.  
Each of the four resistors contributes (4kTRxx)1/2. The noise  
from the feedback resistors appears directly at the output, and  
the noise from the gain resistors appears at the output multiplied  
by RF/RG. Table 11 summarizes the input noise sources, the  
multiplication factors, and the output-referred noise density terms.  
ANALYZING AN APPLICATION CIRCUIT  
The ADA4939 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  
(see 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.

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,  
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 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.

β1 =  
and β2 =  
are the feedback factors.  
RF1 + RG1  
RF2 + RG2  
The gain from the VOCM pin to VO, dm is equal to  
2(β1 − β2)/(β1 + β2)  
When the feedback factors are matched, RF1/RG1 = RF2/RG2, β1 =  
β2 = β, and the noise gain becomes  
When β1 = β2, this term goes to zero and there is no differential  
output voltage due to the voltage on the VOCM input (including  
noise). The extreme case occurs when one loop is open and the  
other has 100% feedback; in this case, the gain from VOCM input  
to VO, dm is either +2 or −2, depending on which loop is closed. The  
feedback loops are nominally matched to within 1% in most  
applications, and the output noise and offsets due to the VOCM  
input are negligible. If the loops are intentionally mismatched by a  
large amount, it is necessary to include the gain term from VOCM  
to VO, dm and account for the extra noise. For example, if β1 = 0.5  
and β2 = 0.25, the gain from VOCM to VO, dm is 0.67. If the VOCM pin  
is set to 2.5 V, a differential offset voltage is present at the output of  
(2.5 V)(0.67) = 1.67 V. The differential output noise contribution is  
(7.5 nV/√Hz)(0.67) = 5 nV/√Hz. Both of these results are  
undesirable in most applications; therefore, it is best to use  
nominally matched feedback factors.

ADA4939-1/ADA4939-2  
Mismatched feedback networks also 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.  
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 resistor RG. The common-mode  
voltage at the amplifier input terminals can be easily determined by  
noting that the voltage at the inverting input is equal to the  
noninverting output voltage divided down by the voltage divider  
formed by RF and RG in the lower loop. This voltage is present at  
both input terminals due to negative voltage feedback and is in  
phase with the input signal, thus reducing the effective voltage  
across RG in the upper loop and partially bootstrapping RG.  
As a practical summarization of the above issues, resistors of 1%  
tolerance produce a worst-case input CMRR of approximately  
40 dB, a worst-case differential-mode output offset of 25 mV  
due to a 2.5 V VOCM input, negligible VOCM noise contribution,  
and no significant degradation in output balance error.  
CALCULATING THE INPUT IMPEDANCE FOR 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 44, the input impedance (RIN, dm) between the inputs  
(+DIN and −DIN) is simply RIN, dm = 2 × RG.  
Terminating a Single-Ended Input  
This section deals with how to properly terminate a single-  
ended input to the ADA4939 with a gain of 2, RF = 400 Ω, and  
RG = 200 Ω. An example using an input source with a terminated  
output voltage of 1 V p-p and source resistance of 50 Ω illustrates  
the four simple steps that must be followed. Note that because  
the terminated output voltage of the source is 1 V p-p, the open  
circuit output voltage of the source is 2 V p-p. The source shown  
in Figure 46 indicates this open-circuit voltage.

2. In order to match the 50 Ω source resistance, the termi-  
nation resistor, RT, is calculated using RT||300 Ω = 50 Ω.  
The closest standard 1% value for RT is 60.4 Ω.  
It is useful to point out two effects that occur with a  
terminated input. The first is that the value of RG is increased  
in both loops, lowering the overall closed-loop gain. The  
second is that VTH is a little larger than 1 V p-p, as it would  
be if RT = 50 Ω. These two effects have opposite impacts on  
the output voltage, and for large resistor values in the feedback  
loops (~1 kΩ), the effects essentially cancel each other out.  
For small RF and RG, however, the diminished closed-loop  
gain is not canceled completely by the increased VTH. This  
can be seen by evaluating Figure 49.

The desired differential output in this example is 2 V p-p  
because the terminated input signal was 1 V p-p and the  
closed-loop gain = 2. The actual differential output voltage,  
however, is equal to (1.09 V p-p)(400/227.4) = 1.92 V p-p.  
To obtain the desired output voltage of 2 V p-p, a final gain  
adjustment can be made by increasing RF without modifying  
any of the input circuitry. This is discussed in Step 4.

3. It can be seen from Figure 47 that the effective RG in the  
upper feedback loop is now greater than the RG in the  
lower loop due to the addition of the termination resistors.  
To compensate for the imbalance of the gain resistors,  
a correction resistor (RTS) is added in series with RG in the  
lower loop. RTS is equal to the Thevenin equivalent of the  
source resistance RS and the termination resistance RT and  
is equal to RS||RT.  
4. The feedback resistor value is modified as a final gain  
adjustment to obtain the desired output voltage.  
To make the output voltage VOUT = 2 V p-p, RF must be  
calculated using the following formula:

ADA4939-1/ADA4939-2  
INPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE RANGE  
SETTING THE OUTPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE  
The ADA4939 input common-mode range is centered between the  
two supply rails, in contrast to other ADC drivers with level-shifted  
input ranges, such as the ADA4937. The centered input common-  
mode range is best suited to ac-coupled, differential-to-differential  
and dual supply applications.  
The VOCM pin of the ADA4939 is internally biased with a voltage  
divider comprising two 20 kΩ resistors at a voltage approximately  
equal to the midsupply point, [(+VS) + (−VS)]/2. Because of this  
internal divider, the VOCM pin sources and sinks current, depending  
on the externally applied voltage and its associated source  
resistance. Relying on the internal bias results in an output  
common-mode voltage that is within about 100 mV of the  
expected value.  
For 5 V single-supply operation, the input common-mode  
range at the summing nodes of the amplifier is specified as  
1.1 V to 3.9 V and is specified as 0.9 V to 2.4 V with a 3.3 V  
supply. To avoid nonlinearities, the voltage swing at the +IN  
and −IN terminals must be confined to these ranges.  
In cases where more accurate control of the output common-  
mode level is required, it is recommended that an external  
source or resistor divider be used with source resistance less  
than 100 Ω. The output common-mode offset listed in the  
Specifications section assumes that the VOCM input is driven  
by a low impedance voltage source.  
INPUT AND OUTPUT CAPACITIVE AC COUPLING  
Input ac coupling capacitors can be inserted between the source  
and RG. This ac coupling blocks the flow of the dc common-  
mode feedback current and causes the ADA4939 dc input  
common-mode voltage to equal the dc output common-mode  
voltage. These ac coupling capacitors must be placed in both  
loops to keep the feedback factors matched.  
It is also possible to connect the VOCM input to a common-mode  
level (CML) output of an ADC. However, care must be taken to  
ensure that the output has sufficient drive capability. The input  
impedance of the VOCM pin is approximately 10 kΩ. If multiple  
ADA4939 devices share one reference output, it is recommended  
that a buffer be used.  
Output ac coupling capacitors can be placed in series between  
each output and its respective load. See Figure 54 for an  
example that uses input and output capacitive ac coupling.  
MINIMUM RG VALUE OF 50 Ω  
Due to the wide bandwidth of the ADA4939, the value of RG must  
be greater than or equal to 50 Ω to provide sufficient damping in  
the amplifier front end. In the terminated case, RG includes the  
Thevenin resistance of the source and load terminations.

ADA4939-1/ADA4939-2  
LAYOUT, GROUNDING, AND BYPASSING  
As a high speed device, the ADA4939 is sensitive to the  
PCB environment in which it operates. Realizing its superior  
performance requires attention to the details of high speed  
PCB design. This section shows a detailed example of how the  
ADA4939-1 was addressed.  
The power supply pins should be bypassed as close to the device  
as possible and directly to a nearby ground plane. High frequency  
ceramic chip capacitors should be used. It is recommended that  
two parallel bypass capacitors (1000 pF and 0.1 μF) be used for  
each supply. The 1000 pF capacitor should be placed closer to  
the device. Further away, low frequency bypassing should be  
provided, 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 ADA4939-1 as possible.  
However, the area near the feedback resistors (RF), gain resistors  
(RG), and the input summing nodes (Pin 2 and Pin 3) should be  
cleared of all ground and power planes (see Figure 51). 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, a symmetrical  
layout should be provided to maximize balanced performance.  
When routing differential signals over a long distance, PCB  
traces should be close together, and any differential wiring  
should be twisted such that loop area is minimized. 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 four-layer  
circuit board, as described in EIA/JESD 51-7.

ADA4939-1/ADA4939-2  
HIGH PERFORMANCE ADC DRIVING  
The ADA4939 is ideally suited for broadband ac-coupled and  
differential-to-differential applications on a single supply.  
In this example, the signal generator has a 1 V p-p symmetric,  
ground-referenced bipolar output when terminated in 50 Ω.  
The VOCM pin of the ADA4939 is bypassed for noise reduction  
and left floating such that the internal divider sets the output  
common-mode voltage nominally at midsupply. Because the  
inputs are ac-coupled, no dc common-mode current flows in  
the feedback loops, and a nominal dc level of midsupply is  
present at the amplifier input terminals. Besides placing the  
amplifier inputs at their optimum levels, the ac coupling technique  
lightens the load on the amplifier and dissipates less power than  
applications with dc-coupled inputs. With an output common-  
mode voltage of nominally 2.5 V, each ADA4937 output swings  
between 2.0 V and 3.0 V, providing a gain of 2 and a 2 V p-p  
differential signal to the ADC input.  
The circuit in Figure 54 shows a front-end connection for an  
ADA4939 driving an AD9445, 14-bit, 105 MSPS ADC, with ac  
coupling on the ADA4939 input and output. (The AD9445  
achieves its optimum performance when driven differentially.)  
The ADA4939 eliminates the need for a transformer to drive  
the ADC and performs a single-ended-to-differential conversion  
and buffering of the driving signal.  
The ADA4939 is configured with a single 5 V supply and gain  
of 2 for a single-ended input to differential output. The 60.4 Ω  
termination resistor, in parallel with the single-ended input  
impedance of approximately 300 Ω, provides a 50 Ω termination  
for the source. The additional 27.4 Ω (227.4 Ω total) at the  
inverting input balances the parallel impedance of the 50 Ω  
source and the termination resistor driving the noninverting input.  
The output of the amplifier is ac-coupled to the ADC through a  
second-order, low-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 100 MHz.  
This reduces the noise bandwidth of the amplifier and isolates  
the driver outputs from the ADC inputs.  
The AD9445 is configured for a 2 V p-p full-scale input by  
connecting the SENSE pin to AGND, as shown in Figure 54.
