(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings  
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under  
Recommended Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device  
reliability.  
(2) Staying below this ± supply turn-on edge rate ensures that the edge-triggered ESD absorption device across the supply pins remains  
off.

(1) Test levels (all values set by characterization and simulation): (A) 100% tested at TA 25°C. (B) Not tested in production; limits set by  
characterization and simulation. (C) Typical value only for information.  
(2) This slew rate is the average of the rising and falling time estimated from the sinusoidal large-signal bandwidth as: (VP / 2) × 2π×  
f3dB  
.
(3) Input offset voltage drift, input bias current drift, and input offset current drift are the mean ±1-sigma values calculated by taking  
measurements at the maximum-range ambient temperature end points, computing the difference, and dividing by the temperature  
range. Maximum drift specifications are set by mean ±4 σon the device distributions tested over a 40°  
temperature range. Drift is not specified by final ATE testing or QA sample test.  
̊C to +125°C̊ ambient  
(4) Specifications are from the input VOCM pin to the differential output average voltage.  
(5) Currents out of pin are treated as a positive polarity (with the exception of the power-supply pins).  
(6) Trace mismatch measurement is dominated by the variation in contactor resistance. Internal mismatch is less than 0.1 Ω.  
(7) TA = 25°C and ICC 1.37 mA. The test limit is expanded for the ATE ambient range of 22°C to 32°C with a 4-µA/°C ICC temperature  
coefficient considered; see 11-1.

(1) Test levels (all values set by characterization and simulation): (A) 100% tested at TA 25°C. (B) Not tested in production; limits set by  
characterization and simulation. (C) Typical value only for information.  
(2) This slew rate is the average of the rising and falling time estimated from the large-signal bandwidth as: (VPP / 2) × 2π× f3dB  
.
(3) Input offset voltage drift, input bias current drift, and input offset current drift are the mean ±1-sigma values calculated by taking  
measurements at the maximum-range ambient temperature end points, computing the difference, and dividing by the temperature  
range. Maximum drift specifications are set by mean ±4 σon the device distributions tested over a 40°  
temperature range. Drift is not specified by final ATE testing or QA sample test.  
̊C to +125°C̊ ambient  
(4) Specifications are from input VOCM pin to differential output average voltage.  
(5) Currents out of pin are treated as a positive polarity (with exception of the power-supply pin currents).  
(6) Trace mismatch measurement is dominated by the variation in contactor resistance. Internal mismatch is less than 0.1 Ω.  
(7) TA = 25°C and ICC 1.31 mA. The test limit is expanded for the ATE ambient range of 22°C to 32°C with a 4-µA/°C ICC temperature  
coefficient considered; see 11-1.

8 Parameter Measurement Information  
8.1 Example Characterization Circuits  
The THS4551 offers the advantages of a fully differential amplifier (FDA) design with the trimmed input offset  
voltage and very low drift of a precision op amp. The FDA is an extremely flexible device where the main aim is  
to provide a purely differential output signal centered on a user-configurable common-mode voltage usually  
matched to the input common-mode voltage required by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) following this  
stage. The primary options revolve around the choices of single-ended or differential inputs, ac-coupled or dc-  
coupled signal paths, gain targets, and resistor value selections. The characterizations described in this section  
focus on single-ended input to differential output designs as the more challenging application requirement.  
Differential sources can certainly be supported and are often simpler to both implement and analyze.  
The characterization circuits are typically operated with a single-ended, matched, 50-Ω, input termination to a  
differential output at the FDA output pins because most lab equipment is single-ended. The FDA differential  
output is then translated back to single-ended through a variety of baluns (or transformers), depending on the  
test and frequency range. DC-coupled step response testing used two 50-Ω scope inputs with trace math.  
Single-supply operation is most common in end equipment designs. However, using split balanced supplies  
allows simple ground referenced testing without adding further blocking capacitors in the signal path beyond  
those capacitors already within the test equipment. The starting point for any single-ended input to differential  
output measurements (such as any of the frequency response curves) is shown in 8-1 (available as a TINA-TI  
™ simulation file).

8-1. Single-Ended Source to a Differential Gain of a 1-V/V Test Circuit  
Most characterization plots fix the RF (RF1 = RF2) value at 1 kΩ, as shown in 8-1. This element value is  
completely flexible in application, but 1 kΩ provides a good compromise for the parasitic issues linked to this  
value, specifically:  
Added output loading: the FDA functions similarly to an inverting op amp design with both feedback resistors  
appearing as an added load across the outputs (the approximate total differential load in 8-1 is 1 kΩ||  
2 kΩ= 667 Ω). The 1-kΩvalue also reduces the power dissipated in the feedback networks.  
Noise contributions resulting from resistor values: these contributions are both the 4kTRF terms and the  
current noise times the RF value to the output (see 10.1.1).  
Parasitic feedback pole at the input summing nodes: this pole is created by the feedback resistor (RF) value  
and the 1.2-pF differential input capacitance (as well as any board layout parasitic) and introduces a zero in  
the noise gain, thus decreasing the phase margin in most situations. This effect must be managed for best  
frequency response flatness or step response overshoot. Internal 0.6-pF feedback capacitors on each side  
combine with these external feedback resistors to introduce a zero in the noise gain, thereby reducing the  
effect of the feedback pole to the differential input capacitance.

ZHCSFB6D APRIL 2016 REVISED JUNE 2021  
The frequency domain characterization curves start with the selections of 8-1. Some of the features in this  
test circuit include:  
The elements on the non-signal input side exactly match the signal input resistors. This feature has the effect  
of more closely matching the divider networks on each side of the FDA. The three resistors on the non-signal  
input side can be replaced by a single resistor to ground using a standard E96 value of 1.02 kΩwith some  
loss in gain balancing between the two sides; see 9.3.4).  
Translating from a 1-kΩdifferential load to a 50-Ωenvironment introduces considerable insertion loss in the  
measurements (31.8 dB in 8-1). The measurement path insertion loss is normalized out when reporting  
the frequency response curves to show the gain response to the FDA output pins.  
In the pass band for the output balun, the network analyzer 50-Ωload reflects to be in parallel with the 52.3-  
Ωshunt termination. These elements combine to show a differential 1-kΩload at the output pins of the  
THS4551. The source impedance presented to the balun is a differential 50-Ωsource. 8-2 and 8-3  
show the TINA-TI™ model (available as a TINA-TI™ simulation file) and resulting response flatness for this  
relatively low-frequency balun providing 0.1-dB flatness through 100 MHz.

ZHCSFB6D APRIL 2016 REVISED JUNE 2021  
Starting from the test circuit of 8-1, various elements are modified to show the effect of these elements over a  
range of design targets, specifically:  
The gain setting is changed by adjusting the RT and the two RG elements to provide a 50-Ωinput match and  
setting the feedback resistors to 1 kΩ.  
Output loading of both resistive and capacitive load testing. Changing to lower resistive loads is  
accomplished by adding parallel resistors across the output pins in 8-1. Changing to capacitive loads adds  
series output resistors to a differential capacitance before the 1-kΩsense path of 8-1.  
Power-supply settings. Most often, a single 5-V test uses a ±2.5-V supply and a 3-V test uses ±1.5-V supplies  
with the VOCM input control at ground.  
The disable control pin ( PD) is tied to the positive supply (VS+) for any active channel test.  
8.2 Output Interface Circuit for DC-Coupled Differential Testing  
The pulse response plots were taken using the output circuit of 8-4. The two sides of this circuit present a  
500-Ω load to ground (for a differential 1-kΩ load) with a 50-Ω source to the two scope inputs. Trace math is  
used to combine the two sides into the pulse response plots of 7-7 to 7-10 and 7-25 to 7-28. Using  
balanced bipolar supplies for this test ensures that the THS4551 outputs deliver a ground-centered differential  
swing. This setup produces no dc load currents using the circuit of 8-4.

ZHCSFB6D APRIL 2016 REVISED JUNE 2021  
In 8-5, the differential path is simply terminated back to ground on the two 1-kΩ input resistors and the VOCM  
control input is driven from a 50-Ω matched source for the frequency response and step response curves of 图  
7-43 and 7-44. The outputs are summed to a center point (to obtain the average, or common-mode, output)  
through two 100-Ω resistors. These 100-Ω resistors form an equivalent 50-Ω source to the common-mode  
output for measurements. This common-mode test circuit is available as a TINA-TI™ simulation file. 7-45  
illustrates the common-mode output noise measurements with either a ground on the VOCM input pin or with the  
VOCM input pin floating. The higher noise in 7-45 for a floated input can be reduced by including a capacitor  
to ground at the VOCM control input pin.  
8.4 Differential Amplifier Noise Measurements  
To extract out the input-referred noise terms from the total output noise, a measurement of the differential output  
noise is required under two external conditions to emphasize the different noise terms. A high-gain, low resistor  
value condition is used to emphasize the differential input voltage noise and a higher RF at low gains is used to  
emphasize the two input current noise terms. The differential output noise must be converted to single-ended  
with added gain before being measured by a spectrum analyzer. At low frequencies, a zero 1/f noise, high-gain,  
differential to single-ended instrumentation amplifier (such as the INA188) is used. At higher frequencies, a  
differential to single-ended balun is used to drive into a high-gain, low-noise, op amp (such as the LMH6629). In  
this case, the THS4551 outputs drive 25-Ω resistors into a 1:1 balun where the balun output is terminated  
single-endedly at the LMH6629 input with 50 Ω. This termination provides a modest 6-dB insertion loss for the  
THS4551 differential output noise that is then followed by a 40-dB gain setting in the very wideband LMH6629.  
8.5 Balanced Split-Supply Versus Single-Supply Characterization  
Although most end applications use a single-supply implementation, most characterizations are done on a split  
balanced supply. Using a split balanced supply keeps the I/O common-mode inputs near midsupply and provides  
the most output swing with no dc bias currents for level shifting. These characterizations include the frequency  
response, harmonic distortion, and noise plots. The time domain plots are in some cases done via single-supply  
characterization to obtain the correct movement of the input common-mode voltage.  
8.6 Simulated Characterization Curves  
In some cases, a characteristic curve can only be generated through simulation. A good example of this scenario  
is the output balance plot of 7-40. This plot shows the best-case output balance (output differential signal  
versus output common-mode signal) using exact matching on the external resistors in simulation using a single-  
ended input to differential output configuration. The actual output balance is set by resistor mismatch at low  
frequencies but intersects and follows the high-frequency portion of 7-40.  
The remaining simulated plots include:  
AOL gain and phase, see 7-37.  
Large- and small-signal settling times, see 7-11 and 7-29.  
Closed-loop output impedance versus frequency, see 7-38.  
CMRR vs frequency, see 7-41.  
PSRR vs frequency and output common-mode voltage, see 7-42, 7-47, and 7-48.

8.7 Terminology and Application Assumptions  
Numerous common terms that are unique to this type of device exist. This section identifies and explains these  
terms.  
Fully differential amplifier (FDA). This term is restricted to devices offering what appears similar to a  
differential inverting op amp design element that requires an input resistor (not a high-impedance input) and  
includes a second internal control loop that sets the output average voltage (VOCM) to a default or set point.  
This second common-mode control loop interacts with the differential loop in certain configurations.  
The desired output signal at the two output pins is a differential signal that swings symmetrically around a  
common-mode voltage, which is the average voltage for the two outputs.  
Single-ended to differential. The output must always be used differentially in an FDA; however, the source  
signal can be either a single-ended or a differential source with a variety of implementation details for either  
source. For an FDA operating in single-ended to differential, only one of the two input signals is applied to  
one of the input resistors.  
The common-mode control has limited bandwidth from the input VOCM pin to the common-mode output  
voltage. The internal loop bandwidth beyond the input VOCM buffer is a much wider bandwidth than the  
reported VOCM bandwidth, but is not directly discernable. A very wide bandwidth in the internal VOCM loop is  
required to perform an effective and low-distortion single-ended to differential conversion.  
Several features in the application of the THS4551 are not explicitly stated, but are necessary for correct  
operation. These features are:  
Good power-supply decoupling is required. Often a larger capacitor (2.2 µF, typical) is used along with a high-  
frequency, 0.1-µF supply decoupling capacitor at the device supply pins (share this capacitor with the four  
supply pins in the RGT package). For single-supply operation, only the positive supply has these capacitors.  
Where a split supply is used, connect these capacitors to ground on both sides with the larger capacitor  
placed some distance from the package and shared among multiple channels of the THS4551, if used. A  
separate 0.1-µF capacitor must be provided to each device at the device power pins. With cascaded or  
multiple parallel channels, including ferrite beads from the larger capacitor to the local high-frequency  
decoupling capacitor is often useful.  
Although often not stated, the power disable pin ( PD) is tied to the positive supply when only an enabled  
channel is desired.  
Virtually all ac characterization equipment expects a 50-Ωtermination from the 50-Ωsource and a 50-Ω,  
single-ended source impedance from the device outputs to the 50-Ωsensing termination. This condition is  
achieved in all characterizations (often with some insertion loss) but is not necessary for most applications.  
Matching impedance is most often required when transmitting over longer distances. Tight layouts from a  
source, through the THS4551, and to an ADC input do not require doubly-terminated lines or filter designs.  
The only exception is if the source requires a defined termination impedance for correct operation (for  
example, mixer outputs).  
The amplifier signal path is flexible for use as single- or split-supply operation. Most applications are intended  
to be single supply, but any split-supply design can be used as long as the total supply voltage across the  
TH4551 is less than 5.5 V and the required input, output, and common-mode pin headrooms to each supply  
are taken into account. When left open, the VOCM pin defaults to near midsupply for any combination of split  
or single supplies used. The disable pin ( PD) is referenced to the negative rail. Using a negative supply  
requires that PD be pulled down to within 0.55 V of the negative supply to disable the amplifier.  
External element values are normally assumed to be accurate and matched. In an FDA, this assumption  
translates to equal feedback resistor values and a matched impedance from each input summing junction to  
either a signal source or a dc bias reference on each side of the inputs. Unbalancing these values introduces  
non-idealities in the signal path. For the signal path, imbalanced resistor ratios on the two sides creates a  
common-mode to differential conversion. Furthermore, mismatched RF values and feedback ratios create  
additional differential output error terms from any common-mode dc or ac signal or noise terms. Using  
standard 1% resistor values is a typical approach and generally leads to some nominal feedback ratio  
mismatch. Modestly mismatched resistors or ratios do not by themselves degrade harmonic distortion. Where  
there is a meaningful common-mode noise or distortion coming in that gets converted to differential via an

9 Detailed Description  
9.1 Overview  
In addition to the core differential I/O voltage feedback gain block, there are two 5.2-kΩ resistors internally  
across the outputs to sense the average voltage at the outputs. These resistors feed the average voltage back  
into a VCM error amplifier where the voltage is compared to either a default voltage divider across the supplies or  
an externally set VOCM target voltage. When the amplifier is disabled, the default midsupply bias string is  
disabled to save power.  
To achieve the very-low noise at the low power provided by the THS4551, the input stage transistors are  
relatively large, thus resulting in a higher differential input capacitance (1.2 pF in the 9.2). As a default  
compensation for the 1.2-pF differential input capacitance and the 1-kΩ feedback resistors used in  
characterization, internal 0.6-pF capacitors are placed between the two output and input pins. Adjust any desired  
external feedback capacitor value to account for these 0.6-pF internal elements. When using the 16-pin WQFN  
package and the internal feedback traces to the input side of the package, include the nominal trace impedance  
of 3.3 Ωin the design. These elements are not included in the TINA-TI™ model and must be added externally to  
a design intending to use the RGT package.

9.3 Feature Description  
9.3.1 Differential Open-Loop Gain and Output Impedance  
The most important elements to the closed-loop performance are the open-loop gain and open-loop output  
impedance. 9-1 and 9-2 show the simulated differential open-loop gain and phase from the differential  
inputs to the differential outputs with no load and with a 100-Ω load. Operating with no load removes any effect  
introduced by the open-loop output impedance to a finite load. This AOL simulation removes the 0.6-pF internal  
feedback capacitors to isolate the forward path gain and phase (see 13-1). The 0.6-pF capacitance becomes  
part of the feedback network that sets the noise gain and phase combined with the external elements. The  
simulated differential open-loop output impedance is shown in 9-3.

9-3. Differential Open-Loop Output Impedance  
This impedance combines with the load to shift the apparent open-loop gain and phase to the output pins when  
the load changes. The rail-to-rail output stage shows a very high impedance at low frequencies that reduces with  
frequency to a lower midrange value and then peaks again at higher frequencies. The maximum value at low  
frequencies is set by the common-mode sensing resistors to be a 10.5-kΩ dc value (see 9.2). This high  
impedance at a low frequency is significantly reduced in closed-loop operation by the loop gain, as shown in the  
closed-loop output impedance of 7-38. 9-1 compares the no load AOL gain to the AOL gain driving a 100-Ω  
load that shows the effect of the output impedance. The heavier loads pull the AOL gain down faster to lower  
crossovers with more phase shift at the lower frequencies.  
The much faster phase rolloff for the 100-Ω differential load explains the greater peaked response illustrated in  
7-4 and 7-22 when the load decreases. This same effect happens for the RC loads common with converter  
interface designs. Use the TINA-TI™ model to verify loop phase margin in any design.

9.3.2 Setting Resistor Values Versus Gain  
The THS4551 offers considerable flexibility in the configuration and selection of resistor values. The design  
starts with the selection of the feedback resistor value. The 1-kΩ feedback resistor value used for the  
characterization curves is a good compromise between power, noise, and phase margin considerations. With the  
feedback resistor values selected (and set equal on each side) the input resistors are set to obtain the desired  
gain with input impedance also set with these input resistors. Differential I/O designs provide an input impedance  
that is the sum of the two input resistors. Single-ended input to differential output designs present a more  
complicated input impedance. Most characteristic curves implement the single-ended to differential design as the  
more challenging requirement over differential-to-differential I/O.  
For single-ended, matched, input impedance designs, 9-1 illustrates the suggested standard resistors set to  
approximately a 1-kΩ feedback. This table assumes a 50-Ω source and a 50-Ω input match and uses a single  
resistor on the non-signal input side for gain matching. Better matching is possible using the same three  
resistors on the non-signal input side as on the input side. 9-4 shows the element values and naming  
convention for the gain of 1-V/V configuration where the gain is defined from the matched input at RT to the  
differential output.

Where an input impedance match is not required, simply set the input resistor to obtain the desired gain without  
an additional resistor to ground (remove RT in 9-4). This scenario is common when coming from the output of  
another single-ended op amp (such as the OPA192). This single-ended to differential stage shows a higher input  
impedance than the physical RG as given by the expression for ZA (active input impedance) shown as 方程4.

Using 方程式 4 for the gain of 1 V/V with all resistors equal to 1-kΩ shows an input impedance of 1.33 kΩ. The  
increased input impedance comes from the common-mode input voltage at the amplifier pins moving in the  
same direction as the input signal. The common-mode input voltage must move to create the current in the non-  
signal input RG resistor to produce the inverted output. The current flow into the signal-side input resistor is  
impeded because the common-mode input voltage moves with the input signal, thus increasing the apparent  
input impedance in the signal input path.  
9.3.3 I/O Headroom Considerations  
The starting point for most designs is to assign an output common-mode voltage for the THS4551. For ac-  
coupled signal paths, this voltage is often the default midsupply voltage to retain the most available output swing  
around the voltage centered at the VOCM voltage. For dc-coupled designs, set this voltage with consideration to  
the required minimum headroom to the supplies as described in the specifications of the Electrical  
Characteristics table for the VOCM control. For precision ADC drivers, this output VOCM becomes the input VCM to  
the ADC. Often, VCM is set to VREF / 2 to center the differential input on the available input when precision ADCs  
are being driven.  
From the target output VOCM, the next step is to verify that the desired output differential peak-to-peak voltage  
(VOPP) stays within the supplies. For any desired differential VOPP, make sure that the absolute maximum  
voltage at the output pins swings with 方程式 5 and 方程式 6 and confirm that these expressions are within the  
supply rails minus the output headroom required for the RRO device.

ZHCSFB6D APRIL 2016 REVISED JUNE 2021  
For instance, when the THS4551 drives the ADC3223 with a 0.95-VCM control using a single 3.0-V supply, the  
negative-going signal sets the maximum output swing from 0.95 VCM to 0.2 V above ground. This 0.75-V, single-  
sided swing becomes an available 4 × 0.75 V = 3-VPP differential around the nominal 0.95-VCM output common-  
mode voltage. On the high side, the maximum output is equal to 1.7 V (0.95 V + 0.75 V), which is well within the  
allowed maximum range of 2.8 V (3.0 V 0.2 V). This available 3-VPP maximum differential output is also well  
beyond the maximum value required for the 2-VPP input ADS3223.  
With the output headrooms confirmed, the input junctions must also stay within the operating range. The input  
range limitations only appear when approaching the positive supply where a maximum 1.3-V headroom is  
required over the full temperature range because the input range extends to the negative supply voltage over the  
full temperature range.  
The input pins operate at voltages set by the external circuit design, the required output VOCM, and the input  
signal characteristics. For differential-to-differential designs where there is no signal-related movement in the  
input VICM voltages, ac-coupled differential input designs have a VICM equal to the output VOCM. Going towards  
the positive supply, the output common-mode can be set to within 1.2 V of the supply. AC-coupled input designs  
violate the required 1.3-V headroom on the input pins in this case. Going towards the negative supply on the  
VOCM setting requires a minimum of 0.55 V above the supply. This extreme is always in range for the input pins  
that require a minimum 0-V headroom to the negative supply.  
DC-coupled differential input designs must check the voltage divider from the source common-mode input  
voltage to the THS4551 VOCM setting. This result must be equal to an input VICM within the specified range. If the  
source VCM can vary over some voltage range, validate this result over that range before proceeding.  
For single-ended input to differential output designs, the VICM is nominally at a voltage set by the external  
configuration with a small swing around the nominal value because of the common-mode loop. An ac-coupled,  
single-ended input to differential output design places an average input VICM equal to the output VOCM for the  
FDA with an ac-coupled swing around the VOCM voltage following the input voltage. A dc-coupled, single-ended  
input to differential design gets a nominal input VICM set by the source signal common-mode level and the VOCM  
output voltage with a small signal-related swing around the nominal VICM voltage.  
One approach to deriving the VICM voltage range for any single-ended input to differential output design is to  
observe the output voltage swing on the non-signal input side of the FDA outputs and simply take the voltage  
division on the input pin to ground or to the dc reference used on that side. An example analysis is shown in 图  
9-5 using a Thevenized version of the gain of 2 values listed in 9-1 for a 50-Ω matched impedance, ac-  
coupled design.  
In this example, a single 3.3-V supply is used with the VOCM defaulted to midsupply or 1.65 V as a common-  
mode output voltage. This value is also the common-mode voltage on the input pins for the ac-coupled input to  
the FDA. Targeting a 4-VPP differential output swing means each output pin swings ±1 V around this 1.65-V  
common-mode voltage. This output swing is in range because the full swing is 0.65 V to 2.65 V relative to  
ground, which is well within the 0.2-V output headroom requirements on a single 3.3-V supply.

The output on the lower side of this design ranges from 0.65 V to 2.65 V. This 2-VPP swing (on just one side, the  
other output is an inverted version and gives the 4-VPP differential maximum) is divided back by the RF2 and RG2  
divider to the input pins to form a common-mode input swing on top of the 1.65-V input common-mode voltage.  
This divider is 0.339 × 2 VPP = 0.678 VPP or ±0.34 V around the 1.65-V input common-mode voltage. The 1.31-V  
to 1.99-V common-mode input swing for this design is in range for the 0 V to 2.2 V available input range (the  
maximum headroom is 3.3 V 1.1 V, which is equal to 2.2 V). These voltage swings can be directly observed  
using the SBOC460 TINA-TIsimulation file. Shifting the VOCM down slightly (if allowed by the design  
requirements) is a good way to improve the positive-swinging input headroom for this low-voltage design.  
Taking a more complex example by using the THS4551 to attenuate a large bipolar input signal in a dc-coupled  
design for an ADC is shown in 9-6. To remove the peaking for this low-noise gain design, the two CF elements  
and an input capacitor are added to shape the noise gain at high frequencies to a capacitive divider, as  
described in the 10.1.6. In this example (including the 1.2-pF internal differential capacitor at the inputs and  
the 0.6-pF internal feedback capacitors), the high-frequency noise gain is 3 V/V and a flat frequency response  
with approximately 45 MHz of 3-dB BW is delivered.

In this example, the output VOCM is 4.096 V / 2, which equals 2.048 V and the source signal VCM is 0 V. These  
values set the nominal input pin VICM to 2.048 V × 4.99 kΩ / (4.99 kΩ + 1 kΩ) = 1.71 V. Applying a ±18-V input  
at the 4.99-kΩ input resistor produces a 7.2-VPP differential output. That is, a ±1.8-V swing on the lower output  
side around the 2.048-V common-mode voltage. This 0.248-V to 3.84-V relative-to-ground swing at the output is  
well within the 0.2-V output headrooms to the 0-V to 5-V supplies used in the example in 9-6 (with the same  
swing inverted on the other output side). That output swing on the lower side produces an attenuated input  
common mode swing of (±1.8 V × (4.99 kΩ / (4.99 kΩ + 1 kΩ)) = ±1.5 V around the midscale input bias of  
1.71 V. This 0.2-V to 3.2-V input common-mode swing is well within the available 0-V to 3.8-V input range. This  
±18-V bipolar input signal is delivered to a SAR ADC with a 7.2-VPP differential output with all I/O nodes  
operating in range using a single 5-V supply design. The source must sink the 2.048 V / 5.99 kΩ = 0.34-mA  
common-mode level-shifting current to take the input 0-V common-mode voltage up to the midscale 1.71-V VICM  
operating voltage. Using the single-ended input impedance of 方程式 4, the source must also drive an apparent  
input load of 5.44 kΩ.  
Most designs do not run into an input range limit. However, using the approach shown in this section can allow a  
quick assessment of the input VICM range under the intended full-scale output condition. The TINA-TI™  
simulation file for 9-6 can be used to plot the input voltages under the intended swings and application circuit  
to verify that there is no limiting from this effect. Driving the I/O nodes out of range in the TINA-TI™ model  
results in convergence problems. Increasing the positive and negative supplies slightly in simulation is an easy  
way to discover the simulated swings that might be going out of range.

As a third example of arriving at the input pin voltage swings, use the design of 10-17 (the ADC3241 design).  
Thevenize the source to just one input resistor to get an expression for the input VICM in terms of the input  
voltage to be derived. 9-7 shows the gain of 5 V/V, dc-coupled, matched input impedance, single-ended to  
differential circuit of 10-17 with both sides reduced to a single input resistor. In 10-17, the design operates  
on a single 3.3-V supply with an output VOCM equal to 0.95 V to directly connect to TIs line of low-power  
ADC3xxx series of 12- and 14-bit ADCs. This family accepts a 2-VPP maximum differential voltage, which (at the  
input-terminating resistor of 10-17) is a ±0.2-V swing. Going back to the source through the matching resistor  
is then a ±0.4-V source swing. Thevenizing that source with the RT element provides the ±0.217 V shown in 图  
9-7 and the total R2 as the sum of RG1 and 50 Ω|| 59 Ω.

9-7. Input VICM Analysis Circuit From the Design of 10-17  
For an input signal (VTHEV) that swings around ground as ±VTHEV, the input pins are within a range given by 方程

signal.

Using the values from the design of 9-7, the computed input range for the THS4551 input pins is VICM = 0.168  
V ± 0.89 mV or 0.079 V to 0.257 V at the input pins. These values are well within range for the negative rail input  
available in the THS4551.  
A simpler approach to arriving at the input common mode range for this DC coupled single supply design would  
be to take the output voltage swing range on the lower side (non signal input side) and simply divide it back  
through its resistor divider to ground on that side.  
The output pin voltage swing is 0.95 V ± 0.5 V or 0.45 V to 1.45 V. This swing is divided back to the input VICM by  
a 215 / (215 + 1000) = 0.177 ratio. This ratio computes the input pin range as 79 mV to 0.256 V, matching the  
input source swing results in 方程式 7. The TINA-TI™ model for 9-7 (available as SBOC472) also provides  
these input swings as shown in the simplified circuit of 9-8. The large centered swing is the differential output  
voltage at the THS4551 output pins (which is actually the two outputs swinging ±0.5 V around a 0.95 VCM), the  
small centered bipolar swing is the input swing for the thevenized source of 9-8, and the smallest VPP swing  
on a dc offset is the input VICM voltage at the non-signal side input for the circuit of 9-8.

9.3.4 Output DC Error and Drift Calculations and the Effect of Resistor Imbalances  
The THS4551 offers a trimmed input offset voltage and extremely low offset drift over the full 40°C to +125°C  
operating range. This offset voltage combines with several other error contribution terms to produce an initial  
25°C output offset error band and then a drift over temperature. For each error term, a gain must be assigned to  
that term. For this analysis, only dc-coupled signal paths are considered. One new source of output error (versus  
the typical op amp analysis) arises from the effect mismatched resistor values and ratios can have on the two  
sides of the FDA. Any common-mode error or drift creates a differential output error through the slight  
mismatches arising from the external feedback and gain setting resistor tolerances or standard value constraints.  
The error terms (25°C and drift), along with the gain to the output differential voltage, include input offset voltage  
and input offset current. Input offset voltage has a gain equal to the noise gain or 1 + RF / RG, where RG is the  
total dc impedance from the input pins back to the source or a dc reference (typically ground). Input offset  
current has a gain to the differential output through the average feedback resistor value.  
The remaining terms arise from an assumed range on both the absolute feedback resistor mismatch and the  
mismatch in the divider ratio on each side of the FDA. The first of these resistor mismatch terms is the input bias  
current that creates a differential output offset via RF mismatch. For simplicity, the upper RF and RG values are  
termed RF1 and RG1 with a ratio of RF1 / RG1 G1. The lower elements are defined as RF2 and RG2 with a ratio  
of RF2 / RG2 G2. To compute worst-case contributions, a maximum variation in the design resistor tolerance is  
used in the absolute and ratio mismatches.  
For instance, ±1% tolerance resistors are assumed, giving a worst-case G1 that is 2% higher than nominal and a  
G2 that is 2% lower than nominal with a worst-case RF value mismatch of 2% as well. Using a 0.1% precision  
resistor reduces the gain for the input bias current, but because these precision resistors are usually only  
available in 1% value steps, a gain mismatch term may still need to be considered. For matched impedance  
designs with RT and RG1 on a single-ended to differential stage, the standard value constraint imposes a fixed  
mismatch in the initial feedback ratios with the tolerance of the resistors around the ratio if the non-signal input  
side uses a single resistor for RG2  
Define the selected external resistor tolerance as ±T (so for 1% tolerance resistors, T = 0.01). Input bias current  
times the feedback resistor mismatch gain is ±2 × T × RFnom  
.
.
Anything that generates an output common-mode level or shift over temperature also generates an output  
differential error term if the two feedback ratios, G1 and G2, are not equal. An error trying to produce a shift in  
the output common-mode voltage is overridden by the common-mode control loop where the error becomes a  
balanced differential error around the output VOCM  
.
The terms that create a differential error from a common-mode term and feedback ratio mismatch include the  
desired VOCM voltage, any source common-mode voltage, any drift on the reference bias to the VOCM control pin,  
any internal offset and drift in the VOCM control path, and the input average bias current and drift.

This conversion gain to differential output error is applied to two error terms: VOCM and the input bias current and

mode voltage and any resulting shift in application.)  
The output error is applied to VOCM, assuming that the input control pin is driven and not floating. The input bias  
current and drift are multiplied by the average RF value then by the conversion gain to differential output error to  
create an added output differential error.  
As an example of using these terms to estimate the worst-case output 25°C error band and then the worst-case  
drift (by adding all error terms together independently), use the gain of 1-V/V configuration with RF = 1 kΩ and  
assume a ±1% tolerance on the resistors with the standard values used in 9-9.

The standard value constraint on the non-signal input side actually produces more gain mismatch than the

Using the maximum 25°C error terms and nominal resistor values with an exact 2.5-V input to the VOCM control  
pin gives 9-2, gains to the output differential error (VOD), and then the summed output error band at 25°C. The  
output error is clearly dominated by the VOCM voltage and the effect of the nominal feedback dividers being  
slightly mismatched. This analysis does not include resistor tolerances but the approach is the same with the  
wider error bands on the gain terms. Using 1% tolerance on the resistors setting the gain matching dominates  
the output error band through the VOCM input voltage. For the lowest output error, this analysis shows that an  
exact match on the feedback dividers with precision resistors is preferred. However, doing so would require  
duplicating the exact network on the non-signal input side and the signal input side. Where input impedance  
matching is not required, the two RG resistors are simply single equal resistors and the gain mismatch is just  
from the tolerance of the resistors.

The 0.00268 conversion gain for the gain ratio mismatch is the worst-case ratio starting from the initially lower

In 9-3, the input offset voltage drift dominates the output drift. For the last term, the drift for the VOCM path is  
just for the internal offset drift of the common-mode path with a driven input. Any added external drift on the  
source of the VOCM input must also be considered. This type of calculation can be repeated for the exact  
application circuit considering each of these terms in the context of a specific design.  
The absolute accuracy and drift for the THS4551 are exceptionally good. Mismatched resistor feedback ratios  
combined with a high drift in the VOCM control input can actually dominate the output VOD drift. Where the output  
differential precision is more important than the input matching accuracy, consider matching the networks on the  
two sides of the input to obtain improved nominal G1 to G2 match. The gains for the input bias current error  
terms are relatively low when using the 1-kΩ feedback values. Higher RF values provide the input-current-  
related drift terms more gain.

9.4 Device Functional Modes  
The wideband FDA requires external resistors for correct signal-path operation. When configured for the desired  
input impedance and gain setting with these external resistors, the amplifier can be either on with the PD pin  
asserted to a voltage greater than (VS) + 1.15 V, or turned off by asserting PD low (within 0.55 V of the  
negative supply). Disabling the amplifier shuts off the quiescent current and stops correct amplifier operation.  
The signal path is still present for the source signal through the external resistors, which provides poor signal  
isolation from the input to output in power-down mode.  
Internal protection diodes remain present across the input pins in both operating and shutdown mode. Large  
input signals during disable can turn on the input differential protection diodes, thus producing a load current in  
the supply even in shutdown.  
The VOCM control pin sets the output average voltage. Left open, VOCM defaults to an internal midsupply  
value. Driving this high-impedance input with a voltage reference within the valid range sets a target for the  
internal VCM error amplifier. If floated to obtain a default midsupply reference for VOCM, an external decoupling  
capacitor is recommended to be added on the VOCM pin to reduce the otherwise high output noise for the  
internal high-impedance bias (see 7-45).  
9.4.1 Operation from Single-Ended Sources to Differential Outputs  
One of the most useful features supported by the FDA device is an easy conversion from a single-ended input to  
a differential output centered on a user-controlled, common-mode level. Although the output side is relatively  
straightforward, the device input pins move in a common-mode manner with the input signal. The common-mode  
voltage at the input pins, which moves with the input signal, increases the apparent input impedance to be  
greater than the RG value. The input active impedance issue applies to both ac- and dc-coupled designs, and  
requires somewhat more complex solutions for the resistors to account for this active impedance, as discussed  
in the 9.3.2.  
9.4.1.1 AC-Coupled Signal Path Considerations for Single-Ended Input to Differential Output  
Conversions  
When the signal path can be ac-coupled, the dc biasing for the THS4551 becomes a relatively simple task. In all  
designs, start by defining the output common-mode voltage. The ac-coupling issue can be separated for the  
input and output sides of an FDA design. The input can be ac-coupled and the output dc-coupled, or the output  
can be ac-coupled and the input dc-coupled, or both can be ac-coupled. One situation where the output can be  
dc-coupled (for an ac-coupled input), is when driving directly into an ADC where the VOCM control voltage uses  
the ADC common-mode reference to directly bias the FDA output common-mode voltage to the required ADC  
input common-mode voltage. In any case, the design starts by setting the desired VOCM. When an ac-coupled  
path follows the output pins, the best linearity is achieved by operating VOCM at midsupply, which can be easily  
delivered by floating the VOCM pin. The VOCM voltage must be within the linear range for the common-mode  
loop, as specified in the headroom specifications (approximately 0.7 V greater than the negative supply and  
1.3 V less than the positive supply for the full 40°C to +125°C operation). If the output path is also ac-coupled,  
simply letting the VOCM control pin float is usually preferred in order to obtain a midsupply default VOCM bias  
with minimal elements. To limit noise, place a 0.1-µF decoupling capacitor on the VOCM control pin to ground.  
After VOCM is defined, check the target output voltage swing to ensure that the VOCM plus the positive and  
negative output swing on each side does not clip into the supplies. If the desired output differential swing is  
defined as VOPP, divide by 4 to obtain the ±VP (peak voltage) swing around VOCM at each of the two output pins  
(each pin operates 180° out of phase with the other). Check that VOCM ±VP does not exceed the absolute supply  
rails for the rail-to-rail output (RRO) device. Common-mode current does not flow from the common-mode output  
voltage set by the VOCM pin towards the device input pins side, because both the source and balancing resistor  
on the non-signal input side are dc blocked (see 9-5). The ac-coupled input path sets the input pin common-  
mode voltage equal to the output common-mode voltage.

ZHCSFB6D APRIL 2016 REVISED JUNE 2021  
The input pin positive headroom requirement (1.2 V) is less than the VOCM positive headroom (1.3 V). If the  
VOCM is in range, the input pins are also in range for the ac-coupled input configuration. This headroom  
requirement functions similarly for when the output VOCM voltage approaches the negative supply. The  
approximate minimum headroom of 0.6 V to the negative supply on the VOCM voltage is greater than the input  
pin voltage headroom of approximately 0 V for the negative rail input design. The input common-mode voltage is  
also in range if the output common-mode voltage is in range and above 0.6 V from the negative supply because  
the input common-mode voltage follows the output VOCM setting for ac-coupled input designs.  
The input pin voltages move in a common-mode manner with the input signal, as described in 9.3.3. Confirm  
that the VOCM voltage plus the input VPP common-mode swing also stays in range for the input pins.  
9.4.1.2 DC-Coupled Input Signal Path Considerations for Single-Ended to Differential Conversions  
The output considerations remain the same as for the ac-coupled design. Again, the input can be dc-coupled  
when the output is ac coupled. A dc-coupled input with an ac-coupled output can have some advantages to  
move the input VICM down by adjusting the VOCM down if the source is ground referenced. When the source is  
dc-coupled into the THS4551 (see 9-4), both sides of the input circuit must be dc-coupled to retain differential  
balance. Normally, the non-signal input side has an RG element biased to whatever the source midrange is  
expected to be, provided that this midscale reference gives a balanced differential swing around VOCM at the  
outputs. Often, RG2 is simply grounded for dc-coupled, bipolar-input applications. This configuration provides a  
balanced differential output if the source swings around ground. If the source swings from ground to some  
positive voltage, grounding RG2 gives a unipolar output differential swing from both outputs at VOCM (when the  
input is at ground) to one polarity of the swing. Biasing RG2 to an expected midpoint for the input signal creates a  
differential output swing around VOCM.  
One significant consideration for a dc-coupled input is that VOCM sets up a common-mode bias current from the  
output back through RF and RG to the source on both sides of the feedback. Without input balancing networks,  
the source must sink or source this dc current. After the input signal range and biasing on the other RG element  
is set, check that the voltage divider from VOCM to VIN through RF and RG (and possibly RS) establishes an input  
VICM at the device input pins that is in range. If the average source is at ground, the negative rail input stage for  
the THS4551 is in range for applications using a single positive supply and a positive output VOCM setting  
because this dc common-mode current lifts the average FDA input summing junctions up off of ground to a  
positive voltage (the average of the V+ and Vinput pin voltages on the FDA). TINA-TI™ simulations of the  
intended circuit offer a good check for input and output pin voltage swings (see 9-7).  
9.4.2 Operation from a Differential Input to a Differential Output  
In many ways, this method is a much simpler way to operate the FDA from a design equations perspective.  
Again, assuming that the two sides of the circuit are balanced with equal RF and RG elements, the differential  
input impedance is now just the sum of the two RG elements to a differential inverting summing junction. In these  
designs, the input common-mode voltage at the summing junctions does not move with the signal but must be  
dc biased in the design range for the input pins and must take into account the voltage headroom required to  
each supply. Slightly different considerations apply to ac- or dc-coupled differential input to differential output  
designs, as described in the following sections.  
9.4.2.1 AC-Coupled, Differential-Input to Differential-Output Design Issues  
The most common way to use the THS4551 with an ac-coupled differential source is to simply couple the input  
into the RG resistors through the blocking capacitors. 9-10 shows a typical blocking capacitor approach to a  
differential input. An optional input differential termination resistor (RM) is included in this design. The RM element  
allows the input RG resistors to be scaled up and still delivers lower differential input impedance to the source. In  
this example, the RG elements sum to show a 1-kΩ differential impedance and the RM element combines in  
parallel to provide a net 500-Ω ac differential impedance to the source. Again, the design ideally proceeds by  
selecting the RF element values, then the RG to set the differential gain, and then an RM element (if needed) to  
achieve a target input impedance. Alternatively, the RM element can be eliminated, with the 2 × RG elements set  
to the desired input impedance and RF set to obtain the differential gain (equal to RF / RG).

9-10. Example AC-Coupled Differential Input Design  
The dc biasing for an ac-coupled differential input design is very simple. The output VOCM is set by the input  
control voltage and, because there is no dc current path for the output common-mode voltage (as long as RM is  
only differential and not split and connected to ground for instance), the dc bias also sets the common-mode  
operating points for the input pins. For a purely differential input, the voltages on the input pins remain fixed at  
the output VOCM setting and do not move with the input signal (unlike the single-ended input configurations  
where the input pin common-mode voltages do move with the input signal). The SLOC341 TINA-TI™ simulation

Operating the THS4551 with a dc-coupled differential input source is very simple and only requires that the input  
pins stay in range for the dc common-mode operating voltage. The example in 9-11 takes the output of a dual  
precision op amp (such as the OPA2192) where a high differential input signal is attenuated by the THS4551  
down into the range of an 18-bit SAR ADC such as the 2-MSPS ADS9110. The input stage provides a  
differential gain of 21 V/V with a common-mode gain of 1 V/V. This example amplifies a small differential signal  
on top of a very-wide range common-mode voltage. The input common-mode voltage appears at the outputs of  
the OPA2192. The input common-mode voltage is level shifted by the FDA common-mode control to be at the  
required output common-mode voltage to drive the ADS9110 SAR ADC (with a 4.096-V reference, as shown in  
9-11); the FDA output common-mode voltage must be at the 2.048 V shown in 9-11. This design offers a  
very high CMRR using the common-mode control loop of the FDA to reset the output common-mode voltage  
from that delivered to the inputs of the OPA2192. The actual CMRR from the OPA2192 inputs to the FDA  
outputs is dominated by the resistor mismatches in the FDA. The feedback and differential input capacitors are  
included to shape the noise gain as described in 10.1.6. This full example circuit is available as a TINA-TI™  
simulation file.

9-11. Example DC-Coupled Differential I/O Design from a Precision Dual Op Amp to an 18-Bit SAR  
9.4.3 Input Overdrive Performance  
7-12 illustrates a 2X overdrive triangle waveform for the THS4551. The input resistor is driven with a ±9-V  
swing for the gain of 2-V/V configuration in the test circuit of 8-1 using a single 5-V supply. When the output  
maximum swing is reached at approximately the supply values, the increasing input voltage turns on the internal  
protection diodes across the two input pins. The internal protection diodes are two diodes in series in both  
polarities. This feature clamps the maximum differential voltage across the inputs to approximately 1.5 V when  
the output is limited at the supplies but the input exceeds the available range. The input resistors on both sides  
limit the current flow in the internal diodes under these conditions.

10 Application and Implementation  
Note  
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI  
does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TIs customers are responsible for determining  
suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design  
implementation to confirm system functionality.  
10.1 Application Information  
Most applications for the THS4551 strive to deliver the best dynamic range in a design that delivers the desired  
signal processing along with adequate phase margin for the amplifier itself. The following sections detail some of  
the design issues with analysis and guidelines for improved performance.  
10.1.1 Noise Analysis  
The first step in the output noise analysis is to reduce the application circuit to the simplest form with equal  
feedback and gain setting elements to ground. 10-1 shows the simplest analysis circuit with the FDA and  
resistor noise terms to be considered.

10-1. FDA Noise Analysis Circuit  
The noise powers are shown in 10-1 for each term. When the RF and RG (or RI) terms are matched on each  
side, the total differential output noise is the root sum squared (RSS) of these separate terms. Using NG 1 +  
RF / RG, the total output noise is given by 方程式 10. Each resistor noise term is a 4kT × R power (4kT =  
1.6E-20J at 290K).  
eo = e NG 2 + 2 i R 2 + 2 4kTR NG  
(
)
(
)
(
)
ni

(10)  
The first term is simply the differential input spot noise times the noise gain, the second term is the input current  
noise terms times the feedback resistor (and because there are two uncorrelated current noise terms, the power  
is two times one of them), and the last term is the output noise resulting from both the RF and RG resistors, at  
again twice the value for the output noise power of each side added together. Running a wide sweep of gains  
when holding RF close to 1 kΩ and setting the input up for a 50-Ω match gives the standard values and  
resulting noise listed in 10-1.  
Note that when the gain increases, the input-referred noise approaches only the gain of the FDA input voltage  
noise term at 3.3 nV/Hz.

10.1.2 Factors Influencing Harmonic Distortion  
As illustrated in the swept frequency harmonic distortion plots (7-13 and 7-31), the THS4551 provides  
extremely low distortion at lower frequencies. In general, an FDA output harmonic distortion mainly relates to the  
open-loop linearity in the output stage corrected by the loop gain at the fundamental frequency. When the total  
load impedance decreases, including the effect of the feedback resistor elements in parallel for loading  
purposes, the output stage open-loop linearity degrades, thus increasing the harmonic distortion; see 7-16  
and 7-34. When the output voltage swings increase, very fine scale open-loop output stage nonlinearities  
increase that also degrade the harmonic distortion; see 7-14 and 7-32. Conversely, decreasing the target  
output voltage swings drops the distortion terms rapidly. A nominal swing of 2 VPP is used for harmonic distortion  
testing where 7-14 illustrates the effect of going up to an 8-VPP differential input that is more common with  
SAR converters.  
Increasing the noise gain functions to decrease the loop gain resulting in the increasing harmonic distortion  
terms; see 7-18 and 7-36. One advantage to the capacitive compensation for the attenuator designs is that  
the noise gain is shaped up with frequency to achieve a crossover at an acceptable phase margin at higher  
frequencies. This technique (see 10.1.6) holds the loop gain high at frequencies lower than the noise gain  
zero, thus improving distortion at lower frequencies.  
The THS4551 holds nearly constant distortion when the VOCM operating point is moved in the allowed range;  
see 7-17 and 7-35. Clipping into the supplies with any combination of VOCM and VOPP rapidly degrades  
distortion performance.  
The THS4551 does an exceptional job of converting from single-ended inputs to differential outputs with very low  
harmonic distortions. External resistors of 1% tolerance are used in characterization with good results.  
Unbalancing the feedback divider ratios does not degrade distortion directly. Imbalanced feedback ratios convert  
common-mode inputs to a differential mode at the outputs with the gain described in 9.3.4.  
10.1.3 Driving Capacitive Loads  
The capacitive load of an ADC or some other next-stage device is commonly required to be driven. Directly  
connecting a capacitive load to the output pins of a closed-loop amplifier such as the THS4551 can lead to an  
unstable response; see the step response plots into a capacitive load (7-8, 7-10, 7-26, and 7-28).  
One typical remedy to this instability is to add two small series resistors (RO) at the outputs of the THS4551  
before the capacitive load. 7-6 and 7-24 illustrate parametric plots of recommended RO values versus  
differential capacitor load values and gains. Operating at higher noise gains requires lower RO values to obtain a  
±0.5-dB flat response for the same capacitive load. Some direct parasitic loading is acceptable without a series  
RO that increases with gain setting (see 7-8, 7-10, 7-26, and 7-28 where the RO value is 0 Ω). Even  
when these plots suggest that a series RO is not required, good practice is to leave a place for the RO elements  
in a board layout (a 0-Ωvalue initially) for later adjustment in case the response appears unacceptable.  
The rail-to-rail output stage of the THS4551 has an inductive characteristic in the open-loop output impedance at  
higher frequencies; see 9-3. This inductive open-loop output impedance introduces added phase shift at the  
output pins for direct capacitive loads and feedback capacitors. Larger values of feedback capacitors (greater  
than 100 pF) can risk a low phase margin. Including a 10-Ω to 15-Ω series resistor with a feedback capacitor  
can be used to reduce this effect.  
The TINA-TI™ simulation model does a good job of predicting these issues and illustrating the effect for different  
choices of capacitive load isolating resistors (RO) and different feedback capacitor configurations.

10.1.4 Interfacing to High-Performance Precision ADCs  
The THS4551 provides a simple interface to a wide variety of precision SAR and delta-sigma (ΔΣ) ADCs. To  
deliver the exceptional distortion at the output pins, considerably wider bandwidth than what is typically required  
in the signal path to the ADC inputs is provided by the THS4551. This wide amplifier bandwidth provides the low  
broadband, closed-loop output impedance to supply the sampling glitches and to recover quickly for the best  
SFDR. A particularly challenging task is to drive the high-frequency modulator sample rates for a precision ΔΣ  
converter where the modulator frequency can be far higher than the final output data rate. 10-2 shows a  
tested example circuit using the THS4551 in a 500-kHz, active multiple feedback (MFB) filter driving the 24-bit  
ADS127L01. This filter is designed for FO = 500 kHz and Q = 0.63 to give a linear phase response with the 3-  
dB frequency at 443 kHz. This example circuit is available as a TINA-TI™ simulation file.

This 3-V supply example provides a low-power interface to the very low-power ADC. This circuit is available on  
the ADS127L01EVM board.  
The 5-Ωresistors inside the loop at the output pins and the 1-nF differential capacitor across the FDA input pins  
are not part of the filter design. These elements function to improve the loop-phase margin with minimal  
interaction with the active filter operation To observe the loop gain and phase margin, use the SBOC461 TINA-TI  
™ simulation file. Tested performance with the ADS127L01 at a 4-kHz input shows the exceptional THD and  
SNR of 114 dBc and 106 dB, respectively. 10-3 uses the ADS127L01 at a modulator frequency of 16 MHz.

10.1.5 Operating the Power Shutdown Feature  
The CMOS input pin must be asserted to the desired voltage for operation. An internal pullup resistor is not  
provided on the PD pin so that off-state quiescent current can be minimized. For applications simply requiring  
the device to be powered on when the supplies are present, tie the PD pin to the positive supply voltage.  
The disable operation is referenced from the negative supply, normally ground. For split-supply operation, with  
the negative supply below ground, a disable control voltage below ground is required to turn the THS4551 off. To  
assure an off state condition, the disable control pin must be below a voltage within 0.55 V of the negative  
supply.  
For single-supply operation, a minimum of 1.15 V above the negative supply (ground in this case) is required to  
assure on operation. This logic threshold range allows direct operation from a 1.8-V supply logic when the  
THS4551 operates with a single positive supply and ground.  
10.1.6 Designing Attenuators  
Operating the THS4551 at a low-noise gain (or with higher feedback resistors) can cause a lower phase margin  
to exist, thus giving the response peaking illustrated in 7-1 for the gain of a 0.1 (a 1/10 attenuator) condition.  
Although operating the THS4551 as an attenuator is often useful, taking a large input range to a controlled  
output common-mode voltage with a purely differential signal around the VOCM voltage, the response peaking  
illustrated in 7-1 is usually undesirable. Several approaches can be used to reduce or eliminate this peaking,  
usually at the cost of higher output noise. DC attenuation at the input usually increases the output noise  
broadband, whereas using an ac noise gain shaping technique that peaks the noise gain only at higher  
frequencies is more desirable. This peaking output noise can then be filtered off with the typical passive RC  
filters often used after this stage. 10-4 shows a simplified schematic for the gain of 0.1-V/V test from 7-1.

10-4. Divide-by-10 Attenuator Application for the THS4551  
A 5-dB peaked response (see 10-6) results from the configuration of 10-4, which results from a nominal  
32° phase margin. This peaking can be eliminated by placing two feedback capacitors across the RF elements  
and a differential input capacitor. Adding these capacitors provides a transition from a resistively set noise gain  
(NG1 = 1.1 in 10-4) to a capacitive divider at high frequency, and flattening out to a higher noise gain (NG2).  
The key for this approach is to target a ZO where the noise gain begins to peak up. Using only the following  
terms, and targeting a closed-loop flat (Butterworth) response, gives this solution sequence (from 方程11 to 方  
程式 13) for ZO and then the capacitor values. See the OPA847 data sheet (page 12) for a discussion of this  
inverting noise gain shaping technique.

The next step is to resolve the input capacitance on the summing junction. 方程式 13 is for a single-ended op

solutions for CF gives 9 pF, where this value is reduced to 8.4 pF to account for the internal 0.6-pF feedback.  
The single-ended solution for CS gives 36 pF, which is reduced to 18 pF to be differential, and is then further  
reduced to 16.8 pF to account for the internal 1.2-pF differential input capacitance of the THS4551.

10-6. Attenuator Response Shapes With and Without External Capacitors  
This approach does a good job of flattening the response for what starts out as a low phase margin attenuator  
application. The simulation model does a very good job of predicting the peaking and showing the same  
improvement with the external capacitors (both give a flat, approximately 24-MHz, closed-loop bandwidth for the  
gain of 0.1-V/V design). The output noise starts to peak up (because of the noise gain shaping of the capacitors)  
above 3.5 MHz in this example. These stages normally drive the RC filter at the input of a SAR ADC that filters  
off the noise peaking above 3.5 MHz.  
10.1.7 The Effect of Adding a Feedback Capacitor  
Adding a feedback capacitor to band-limit the signal path is very common in lower frequency designs. This  
approach is very effective for the signal path gain but does create the potential for high-frequency peaking and  
oscillation for a wideband device such as the THS4551. The feedback capacitor by itself takes the noise gain to  
1 V/V at high frequencies. Depending on the frequency where the noise gain goes to 1V/V, and what added  
phase margin reduction may already be in place resulting from the load RC, the feedback capacitors can cause  
instability.  
10-7 shows the starting point for a typical band-limited design. At lower frequencies, this example delivers a  
gain of 10 V/V with an intentional band limit in the feedback RC at 320 kHz. This single 5-V design targets a  
midsupply output common-mode voltage with only a noise reduction capacitor on the VOCM input control.

10-8. Gain and Phase Plot with a Feedback Pole  
One approach to increasing the phase margin when there is a feedback capacitor is to include a differential input  
capacitor. This approach increases the noise gain at higher frequencies, thus creating a lower-frequency loop  
gain equal to a 0-dB crossover with more phase margin. 10-9 shows a differential input capacitor equal to the  
feedback capacitor in the test circuit. This approach increases the noise gain from 1 V/V at higher frequencies  
(with only a feedback capacitor) to a noise gain of 3 V/V at higher frequencies.

10-9. Single-Ended to Differential Stage with a Feedback Pole and Differential Input Capacitor  
Re-running the wideband response (using the SBOC474 TINA-TI™ simulation file) simulation illustrates in 图  
10-10 that the resonance is greatly reduced with the higher noise gain at the loop gain equal to a 0-dB crossover  
at a lower frequency. Although this example is only modestly peaking, good design practice is to include a place  
for a differential input capacitor (even if not used) for any design using a feedback capacitor across the feedback  
resistors. This recommendation applies to this simple example and to multiple feedback active filter designs.

10.2 Typical Applications  
10.2.1 An MFB Filter Driving an ADC Application  
One common application for the THS4551 is to take a single-ended, high VPP voltage swing (from a high-voltage  
precision amplifier such as the OPA192) and deliver that swing to precision SAR ADC as a single-ended to  
differential conversion with output common-mode control and implement an active 2nd-order multiple feedback  
(MFB) filter design. Designing for a 40-VPP maximum input down to an 8-VPP differential swing requires a gain of  
0.2 V/V. Targeting a 100-kHz Butterworth response with the RC elements tilted towards low noise gives the  
example design of 10-11. Note that the VCM control is set to half of a 4.096-V reference, which is typical for  
5-V differential SAR applications.

10.2.1.1 Design Requirements  
The requirements for this application are:  
Single-ended to differential conversion  
Attenuation by 0.2-V/V gain  
Active filter set to a Butterworth, 100-kHz response shape  
Output RC elements set by SAR input requirements (not part of the filter design)  
Filter element resistors and capacitors are set to limit added noise over the THS4551 and noise peaking  
10.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure  
The design proceeds using the techniques and tools suggested in the Design Methodology for MFB Filters in  
ADC Interface Applications application note (SBOA114). The process includes:  
Scale the resistor values to not meaningfully contribute to the output noise produced by the THS4551 by itself  
Select the RC ratios to hit the filter targets when reducing the noise gain peaking within the filter design  
Set the output resistor to 10 Ωinto a 2.2-nF differential capacitor  
Add 100-pF common-mode capacitors to the load capacitor to improve common noise filtering  
Inside the loop, add 20-Ωoutput resistors after the filter feedback capacitor to increase the isolation to the  
load capacitor  
Include a place for a differential input capacitor (illustrated as 100 fF in 10-11)  
10.2.1.3 Application Curves  
Probing the response to the output pins by using the THS4551 SBOC471 TINA-TI™ simulation model (before  
the RC filter to the SAR ADC) illustrates the expected response plus some peaking at higher frequencies. Any  
signal or noise peaking that appears at the output because of this peaking is rolled off by the RC filter between  
the FDA and SAR inputs. A place for a differential input capacitor is illustrated in 10-11 (as 0.1 pF) but is not  
used for this simulation. This slight peaking is a combination of low phase margin and feedthrough via the  
feedback capacitor to the increasing open-loop output impedance of 9-3. The loop gain and phase response  
are available as a TINA-TI™ simulation file.  
Obtaining the SNR to the ADC input pins, and assuming an 8-VPP full scale (2.83 VRMS), gives the result of 图  
10-13. The 113-dB SNR shown in 10-13 does not limit the performance for any SAR application.

10.2.2 Differential Transimpedance Output to a High-Grade Audio PCM DAC Application  
The highest-grade audio digital-to-analog converters (DACs) are a differential current-mode output. These  
devices normally suggest a two-amplifier transimpedance stage to hold the DAC output voltages fixed when the  
amplifiers produce a differential voltage swing at the outputs. Often, the differential voltage swing is then  
converted to single-ended in a differencing amplifier stage to drive headphone loads (see Figure 35 in the  
OPA1611). The emerging high-power class D audio amplifiers often require differential inputs. Applying the  
THS4551 as a differential transimpedance stage offers a simple solution for very low-distortion, differential-  
output audio channels.  
Starting with the output specifications for a very high-performance PCM1792A audio DAC, the requirements for  
the THS4551 interface can be extracted. The DAC is a current-sourcing device that requires its outputs to be  
held at ground when using a transimpedance amplifier. Using the DAC 3.3-V supply and the LM27762 low-noise,  
low-dropout (LDO) regulator and inverter provides a ±2.5-V supply to the THS4551. Operating the THS4551 on  
±2.5-V supplies places all nodes in range for an input VCM equal to GND (and the DAC output voltages as well)  
and an FDA output VOCM also equal to GND.  
The center current in 10-2 is a fixed 6.2-mA dc current coming out of the DAC outputs regardless of the DAC  
code. This dc common-mode current can be absorbed by the 2.5-V supply at the input pins to hold the DAC  
compliance voltage and FDA input pins at ground. The FDA controls the output common-mode voltage, set to  
ground in this case, whereas the input pin voltage (which does not move with the DAC output differential current)  
is controlled with a resistor to the negative supply.

This bias is provided by the 402-Ω resistors to 2.5 V, as illustrated in 10-14. This design takes the  
differential 7.8 mAPP from the DAC and produces a ±1.46-V swing on each output of the THS4551. This  
configuration gives a full-scale differential 5.85 VPP available on the ±2.5-V supply design centered at ground at  
both the inputs and outputs. Although the LM27762 provides a very-low noise, 2.5-V supply, using 0.1%  
resistors in the current sink path to the 2.5-V supply as well as the feedback resistors limits any common-  
mode noise on the 2.5-V supply to differential mode conversion at the FDA outputs.

10-14. PCM1792A DAC Output Driver  
10.2.2.1 Design Requirements  
To implement a differential transimpedance output interface to the PCM1792A DAC, the following requirements  
must be met:  
The center current of the DAC must be considered to hold the DAC output voltage at ground. Using an FDA  
controls the output side common-mode voltage, but the input common-mode voltage must also be controlled  
to ground.  
A direct means of sinking the center current is to add a pulldown resistor at the DAC outputs to a negative  
supply. Generating a ±2.5-V supply for this current sink requirement and the THS4551 is accomplished with  
the LM27762.  
The transimpedance gain can be set using the feedback resistors of the THS4551 FDA. These resistors are  
very flexible, but when set, the bandwidth in this stage is set to 88 kHz using a feedback capacitor in parallel  
with the resistive gain element.  
When the feedback capacitor is set, a differential input capacitor is added to increase the high-frequency  
noise gain for the overall loop gain stability.  
These frequency response control capacitors interact with the inductive open-loop output impedance to form  
a high-frequency resonance. Adding a small series resistor to the feedback capacitor paths reduces this  
effect.  
10.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure  
Proceed with this design using the techniques described in the Design for Wideband Differential  
Transimpedance DAC Output application note (SBAA150):  
Generate the bipolar balanced supplies using the LM27662.  
Set the THS4551 output common-mode voltage at midsupply by grounding the VOCM pin.  
Control the input pin operating voltage by sinking the center current out of the DAC to the 2.5-V supply with  
precision 402-Ωresistors.  
Set the gain for the complementary current output signal from the DAC by selecting the feedback resistor to  
be 750 Ω. Set this resistor to keep the resulting output swing to be less than the available 9-VPP differential  
swing.  
Control the bandwidth in this differential transimpedance stage to 88 kHz using the 2.4-nF feedback capacitor  
on each side.  
Increase the high-frequency noise gain to 17.7 V/V by adding a differential input capacitor of 20 nF.

Isolate these feedback capacitors with a series 4.4-Ωresistor in series with the feedback capacitors.  
10.2.2.3 Application Curves  
The bandwidth is controlled to 88 kHz by using the 2.4-nF feedback capacitors. Amplifier stability is controlled by  
the 20-nF differential capacitor across the DAC outputs. The added 4.4 Ω in series with the feedback 2.2-nF  
capacitor isolates this capacitance from the inductive open-loop output impedance. To observe the effect of  
adding these small resistors in series with the feedback capacitors, use the TINA-TI™ loop gain simulation  
circuit. Include the DAC source capacitance in any final design analysis. Running the frequency response for this  
circuit (available as a TINA-TIsimulation file) provides this result. The 63.5-dBΩ gain is the 1.5-kΩ  
transimpedance gain provided in this design.

The THS4551 is well suited to low-power, dc-coupled requirements driving low-power pipeline ADCs (such as  
the ADC3241 25-MSPS, 14-bit, dual device). 10-17 shows an example design taking a bipolar input to a  
1-dBFS swing at the ADC input of 1.8 VPP. In this case, a 50-Ω source and input matching is assumed with a  
gain of 5 V/V to the output pins with a 2nd-order interstage filter adding a 1-dB insertion loss. Full-scale  
voltage at the input of RT and RG1 is then ±0.2 V. The 0.95-V output common-mode voltage is provided by the  
ADC. The output filter provides a noise-power bandwidth limit with a low overshoot step response with no  
common-mode level shift from the 0.95-V voltage provided by the ADC.

10-17. ADC3k Driver with a 2nd-Order RLC Interstage Filter  
10.2.3.1 Design Requirements  
For this design example, the requirements include:  
Provide a wideband, 50-Ωinput impedance match for a single-ended source centered on ground.  
From the input termination, provide a gain of 5 V/V to the FDA output pins as a differential signal.  
Set the output common-mode operating point using the ADC common-mode output voltage as the VOCM  
input to the THS4551 FDA.  
Implement a low-overshoot, noise-band-limiting filter between the FDA and the ADC. Use only differential  
shunt elements in the filter to pass the FDA output common-mode voltage to the ADC with no level shifting.  
Design the filter as a 1-dB insertion loss filter with a low series resistor to limit the common-mode level shift  
resulting from the ADC input sample-rate-dependent common-mode current.  
10.2.3.2 Detailed Design Procedure  
The design proceeds as follows:  
Select the feedback resistor to be 1 kΩand use the values from 9-1 at a gain of 5 V/V to implement a  
50-Ωinput match with a gain of 5 V/V.  
Use a 3.3-V power supply and apply the ADC output common-mode voltage to the VOCM input pin of the  
THS4551.  
Design a 1-dB insertion loss, 2nd-order RLC filter using the approach described in the RLC Filter Design  
for ADC Interface Applications application note (SBAA108).  
Adjust the total resistive load target in the filter design to hit the standard value for the filter inductors.  
Convert the filter design to differential with only differential shunt elements. These elements must not be split  
and connected to a center-point ground. This technique passes the output common-mode voltage from the  
FDA to the ADC with no level shift error.  
Add a small series resistor at the ADC inputs. This resistor is not part of the filter design but spreads out the  
sampling glitch energy to provide improved SFDR.

Check the common-mode level shift from the FDA outputs to the ADC resulting from the clock-rate-  
dependent common-mode current. This common-mode current into the ADC shifts the common-mode  
voltage slightly, but can easily stay in range with a low series resistor in the filter design.  
10.2.3.3 Application Curve  
Driving a 2-MHz ±0.2-V square wave into this circuit (using a TINA-TI™ simulation file for the circuit of 10-17)  
gives the response shown in 10-18 at the ADC. The red trace is a 1-dBFS, 1.8-VPP square wave at the  
ADC input pins. The gray trace is the input signal at the RT termination resistor. The black trace is the common-  
mode voltage at the FDA input pins. Note that the input pin voltage swing stays above ground and in range for  
this bipolar input, single, 3.3-V supply design.

10-18. Time-Domain Waveform  
Unbuffered pipeline ADCs draw a clock-rate-dependent input common-mode current. For the ADC3241, this  
input current is specified as 1.5 µA per MSPS. Operating at 25 MSPS, the common-mode current drops the  
common-mode voltage from 0.95 V at the THS4551 outputs by 37.5 µA × 45.8 Ω = 1.7 mV to 0.9483 V. This  
value is well within the allowed ±25-mV common-mode deviation from the ADC VCM output. Consider this effect  
carefully when using higher resistor values in the interface at the ADC.  
11 Power Supply Recommendations  
The THS4551 is principally intended to operate with a nominal single-supply voltage of 3 V to 5 V. Supply  
voltage tolerances are supported with the specified operating range of 2.7 V (10% low on a 3-V nominal supply)  
and 5.4 V (8% high on a 5-V nominal supply). Supply decoupling is required, as described in 8.7. Split (or  
bipolar) supplies can be used with the THS4551, as long as the total value across the device remains less than  
5.5 V (absolute maximum). The thermal pad on the RGT package is electrically isolated form the die; connect  
the thermal pad (RGT package only) to any power or ground plane for reduced thermal impedance to the  
junction temperature. This pad must be connected to some power or ground plane and not floated.  
For the best input offset voltage drift, the THS4551 uses a proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT)  
quiescent current biasing scheme. This approach gives a positive over temperature variation in supply current.  
11-1 shows the 5-V supply current over a wide TJ range for a number of tested units. The Electrical  
Characteristics tables report the typical and range on this supply current temperature coefficient for both 5-V and  
3-V supply operation.

11-1. Linear Temperature Coefficient for Supply Current  
Using a negative supply to deliver a true swing to ground output when driving SAR ADCs can be desired.  
Although the THS4551 quotes a rail-to-rail output, linear operation requires approximately 200-mV headroom to  
the supply rails. One easy option for extending the linear output swing to ground is to provide the small negative  
supply voltage required using the LM7705 fixed 230-mV, negative-supply generator. This low-cost, fixed,  
negative-supply generator can accept the 3-V to 5-V positive supply input used by the THS4551 and provides a  
fixed 230-mV supply for the negative power supply. Using the LM7705 provides an effective solution, as  
discussed in the Extending Rail-to-Rail Output Range for Fully Differential Amplifiers to Include True Zero Volts  
TI design (TIDU187)  
11.1 Thermal Analysis  
The very low internal quiescent power dissipation for the THS4551, combined with the excellent thermal  
impedance of the 16-pin VQFN package (RGT), limits the possibility of excessively high internal junction  
temperatures. A more detailed analysis may be warranted because the 10-pin WQFN (RUN) package has a  
much higher junction-to-ambient thermal impedance (θJA = 163°C/W).  
To estimate the internal TJ, an estimate of the maximum internal power dissipation is first required. There are two  
pieces to the internal power dissipation: quiescent current power and the power used in the output stage to  
deliver load current. To simplify the latter, the worst-case output stage power drives a dc differential voltage  
across a load using half the total supply voltage. Also assume a maximum ambient temperature of 125°C, giving  
the maximum quiescent current as shown in 11-1. As an example:  
Assume a maximum operating supply voltage of 5.4 V. This 5.4-V supply with a maximum ICC of 1.75 mA  
gives a quiescent power term of 9.45 mW.  
Assume a 200-Ωdifferential load with a static 2.7-V differential voltage established across the load. The  
1.35 mA of dc load current generates a maximum output stage power of (5.4 V 2.7 V) × 1.35 mA =  
3.65 mW.  
From the worst-case total internal PD of 13.1 mW, multiplying the internal PD with a 163°C/W thermal  
impedance times the 163°C/W thermal impedance for the very small 10-pin WQFN package results in a  
2.1°C rise from ambient.  
Even for this extreme condition and the maximum-rated ambient of 125°C, the junction temperature is a  
maximum of 127°C, which is less than the rated absolute maximum of 150°C. Follow this same calculation  
sequence for the exact application and package selected to predict the maximum TJ.

12 Layout  
12.1 Layout Guidelines  
12.1.1 Board Layout Recommendations  
Similar to all high-speed devices, best system performance is achieved with close attention to board layout. The  
THS4551DGKEVM user guide (SLOU447) shows a good example of high-frequency layout techniques as a  
reference. This EVM includes numerous extra elements and features for characterization purposes that may not  
apply to some applications. General high-speed signal path layout suggestions include:  
Continuous ground planes are preferred for signal routing with matched impedance traces for longer runs;  
however, both ground and power planes must be opened up around the capacitive sensitive input and output  
device pins. When the signal goes to a resistor, parasitic capacitance becomes more of a band-limiting issue  
and less of a stability issue.  
Good high-frequency decoupling capacitors (0.1 µF) are required to a ground plane at the device power pins.  
Additional higher-value capacitors (2.2 µF) are also required but can be placed further from the device power  
pins and shared among devices. For best high-frequency decoupling, consider X2Y supply decoupling  
capacitors that offer a much higher self-resonance frequency over standard capacitors.  
Differential signal routing over any appreciable distance must use microstrip layout techniques with matched  
impedance traces.  
Higher-speed FDAs such as the THS4551 include a duplicate of the output pins on the input feedback side of  
the larger 16-pin VQFN (RGT) package. This feature is intended to allow the external feedback resistors to  
be connected with virtually no trace length on the input side of the package. This internal feedback trace also  
provides a second feedback path for connecting a feedback capacitor on the input pin sides for band-limited  
or multiple feedback filter designs. This internal trace shows an approximate 3.3-Ωseries resistance that  
must be considered in any design using that path. The TINA-TI™ model does not include that element (to be  
generally applicable to all package styles) and must be added externally if the RGT package is used. Use this  
layout approach without extra trace length on the critical feedback path. The smaller 10-pin WQFN package  
lines up the outputs and the required inputs on the same side of the package where the feedback RF resistors  
must be placed immediately adjacent to the package with minimal trace length.  
The input summing junctions are very sensitive to parasitic capacitance. Any RG elements must connect into  
the summing junction with minimal trace length to the device pin side of the resistor. The other side of the RG  
elements can have more trace length if needed to the source or to GND.

13 Device and Documentation Support  
13.1 Device Support  
13.1.1 TINA-TISimulation Model Features  
The device model is available on the product folder under www.ti.com in a typical application circuit file. The  
model includes numerous features intended to speed designer progress over a wide range of application  
requirements. The following list shows the performance parameters included in the model:  
For the small-signal response shape with any external circuit:  
Differential open-loop gain and phase  
Parasitic input capacitance  
Open-loop differential output impedance  
For noise simulations:  
Input differential spot voltage noise and a 100-Hz 1/f corner  
Input current noise on each input with a 6-kHz 1/f corner  
For time-domain, step-response simulations:  
Differential slew rate  
I/O headroom models to predict clipping  
Input stage diodes to predict overdrive limiting  
Fine-scale, dc precision terms:  
PSRR  
CMRR  
The 7.9 provides more detail than the macromodels can provide; some of the unmodeled features include:  
Harmonic distortion  
Temperature drift in dc error terms (VIO and IOS  
)
Overdrive recovery time  
Turn-on and turn-off times using the power-down feature  
Some unique simulation considerations come with the THS4551 TINA-TI™ model. This device (and model)  
include 0.6-pF internal feedback capacitors. These capacitors are intended to improve phase margin when using  
higher external feedback resistor values. Higher feedback resistors generate an in-band pole in the feedback  
signal with the differential input capacitance, and the internal 0.6 pF capacitors add a zero to the feedback  
response shape to shape the noise gain flat at the loop-gain crossover.  
In order to generate an accurate open-loop gain and phase simulation, these components must be removed  
because they are feedback elements, not forward path elements. 13-1 illustrates a typical AOL gain and phase  
simulation (available as a TINA-TI™ software file) where external 0.6-pF capacitors cancel out the internal  
capacitors in the model (TINA-TI™ supports negative value elements). The inductors inside the loop close the  
loop for the dc operating point and open the loop immediately for an ac sweep. The input-coupling capacitors are  
open at dc, then couple in the differential input immediately on an ac sweep. The somewhat odd values help  
reduce numerical chatter in the simulation. When using the internal feedback traces from the outputs to the  
inputs on the RGT package, be sure to add the 3.3-Ωtrace impedance to any simulation. This impedance is not  
included in the core model.
