GENERAL DESCRIPTON The AD8137 is a low cost differential driver with a rail-to-rail output that is ideal for driving ADCs in systems that are sensitive to power and cost. The AD8137 is easy to apply, and its internal common-mode feedback architecture allows its output commonmode voltage to be controlled by the voltage applied to one pin. The internal feedback loop also provides inherently balanced outputs as well as suppression of even-order harmonic distortion products. Fully differential and single-ended-to-differential gain configurations are easily realized by the AD8137. External feedback networks consisting of four resistors determine the
closed-loop gain of the amplifier. The power-down feature is beneficial in critical low power applications. The AD8137 is manufactured on Analog Devices, Inc., proprietary second-generation XFCB process, enabling it to achieve high levels of performance with very low power consumption. The AD8137 is available in the small 8-lead SOIC package and 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP package. It is rated to operate over the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.

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 for all outputs. The quiescent power is the voltage between the supply pins (VS) times the quiescent current (IS). The load current consists of differential and common-mode currents flowing to the load, as well as currents flowing through the external feedback networks and the internal common-mode feedback loop. The internal resistor tap used in the common-mode feedback loop places a 1 kΩ differential load on the output. RMS output voltages should be considered when dealing with ac signals.
Table 4. Parameter Supply Voltage VOCM Power Dissipation Input Common-Mode Voltage Storage Temperature Range Operating Temperature Range Lead Temperature (Soldering, 10 sec) Junction Temperature
Rating 12 V VS+ to VS− See Figure 3 VS+ to VS− −65°C to +125°C −40°C to +125°C 300°C 150°C
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.
THERMAL RESISTANCE
Airflow reduces θJA. In addition, more metal directly in contact with the package leads from metal traces, through holes, ground, and power planes reduces the θJA. Figure 3 shows the maximum safe power dissipation in the package vs. the ambient temperature for the 8-lead SOIC (125°C/W) and 8-lead LFCSP (θJA = 70°C/W) on a JEDEC standard 4-layer board. θJA values are approximations. 3.0

Unit °C/W °C/W °C/W
MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION The maximum safe power dissipation in the AD8137 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 may change the stresses that the package exerts on the die, permanently shifting the parametric performance of the AD8137. Exceeding a junction temperature of 175°C for an extended period can result in changes in the silicon devices, potentially causing failure.

Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION The AD8137 is a low power, low cost, fully differential voltage feedback amplifier that features a rail-to-rail output stage, common-mode circuitry with an internally derived commonmode reference voltage, and bias shutdown circuitry. The amplifier uses two feedback loops to separately control differential and common-mode feedback. The differential gain is set with external resistors as in a traditional amplifier, and the output commonmode voltage is set by an internal feedback loop, controlled by an external VOCM input. This architecture makes it easy to set arbitrarily the output common-mode voltage level without affecting the differential gain of the amplifier.

From Figure 62, the input transconductance stage is an H-bridge whose output current is mirrored to high impedance nodes CP and CN. The output section is traditional H-bridge driven circuitry with common emitter devices driving nodes +OUT and −OUT. The 3 dB point of the amplifier is defined as

where: gm is the transconductance of the input stage. CC is the total capacitance on node CP/CN (capacitances CP and CN are well matched). For the AD8137, the input stage gm is ~1 mA/V and the capacitance CC is 3.5 pF, setting the crossover frequency of the amplifier at 41 MHz. This frequency generally establishes an amplifier’s unity gain bandwidth, but with the AD8137, the closed-loop bandwidth depends upon the feedback resistor value as well (see Figure 17). The open-loop gain and phase simulations are shown in Figure 63.
In Figure 62, the common-mode feedback amplifier ACM samples the output common-mode voltage, and by negative feedback forces the output common-mode voltage to be equal to the voltage applied to the VOCM input. In other words, the feedback loop servos the output common-mode voltage to the voltage applied to the VOCM input. An internal bias generator sets the VOCM level to approximately midsupply; therefore, the output common-mode voltage is set to approximately midsupply when the VOCM input is left floating. The source resistance of the internal bias generator is large and can be overridden easily by an external voltage supplied by a source with a relatively small output resistance. The VOCM input can be driven to within approximately 1 V of the supply rails while maintaining linear operation in the common-mode feedback loop. The common-mode feedback loop inside the AD8137 produces outputs that are highly balanced over a wide frequency range without the requirement of tightly matched external components, because it forces the signal component of the output commonmode voltage to be zeroed. The result is nearly perfectly balanced differential outputs of identical amplitude and exactly 180° apart in phase.

AD8137
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Output balance is measured by placing a well-matched resistor divider across the differential voltage outputs and comparing the signal at the divider’s midpoint with the magnitude of the differential output. By this definition, output balance is equal to the magnitude of the change in output common-mode voltage divided by the magnitude of the change in output differential mode voltage:
ANALYZING A TYPICAL APPLICATION WITH MATCHED RF AND RG NETWORKS Typical Connection and Definition of Terms Figure 64 shows a typical connection for the AD8137, using matched external RF/RG networks. The differential input terminals of the AD8137, VAP and VAN, are used as summing junctions. An external reference voltage applied to the VOCM terminal sets the output common-mode voltage. The two output terminals, VOP and VON, move in opposite directions in a balanced fashion in response to an input signal.

ESTIMATING NOISE, GAIN, AND BANDWITH WITH MATCHED FEEDBACK NETWORKS Estimating Output Noise Voltage and Bandwidth
(2)
Output Balance Output balance is a measure of how well VOP and VON are matched in amplitude and how precisely they are 180° out of phase with each other. It is the internal common-mode feedback loop that forces the signal component of the output commonmode toward zero, resulting in the near perfectly balanced differential outputs of identical amplitude and are exactly 180° out of phase. The output balance performance does not require tightly matched external components, nor does it require that the feedback factors of each loop be equal to each other. Low frequency output balance is ultimately limited by the mismatch of an on-chip voltage divider.
The total output noise is the root-sum-squared total of several statistically independent sources. Because the sources are statistically independent, the contributions of each must be individually included in the root-sum-square calculation. Table 7 lists recommended resistor values and estimates of bandwidth and output differential voltage noise for various closed-loop gains. For most applications, 1% resistors are sufficient. Table 7.

The differential output voltage noise contains contributions from the AD8137’s input voltage noise and input current noise as well as those from the external feedback networks.
Feedback Factor Notation When working with differential drivers, it is convenient to introduce the feedback factor β, which is defined as
The contribution from the input voltage noise spectral density is computed as
R Vo_n 1 = vn 1 + F , or equivalently, vn/β RG
(7)
where vn is defined as the input-referred differential voltage noise. This equation is the same as that of traditional op amps. The contribution from the input current noise of each input is computed as Vo_n 2 = in (RF )
(8)
where in is defined as the input noise current of one input. Each input needs to be treated separately because the two input currents are statistically independent processes.
β≡
(14)
This notation is consistent with conventional feedback analysis and is very useful, particularly when the two feedback loops are not matched.
Input Common-Mode Voltage The linear range of the VAN and VAP terminals extends to within approximately 1 V of either supply rail. Because VAN and VAP are essentially equal to each other, they are both equal to the amplifier’s input common-mode voltage. Their range is indicated in the specifications tables as input common-mode range. The voltage at VAN and VAP for the connection diagram in Figure 64 can be expressed as VAN = VAP = VACM = RF (V IP + V IN ) RG R +R × + R + R × VOCM 2 G G F F
The contribution from each RG is computed as
R Vo_n 3 = 4 kTRG F RG
RG RF + RG
(9)
(15)
This result can be intuitively viewed as the thermal noise of each RG multiplied by the magnitude of the differential gain.
where VACM is the common-mode voltage present at the amplifier input terminals.
The contribution from each RF is computed as
Using the β notation, Equation (15) can be written as
Vo_n 4 = 4 kTRF
(10)
Voltage Gain
(16)
or equivalently, VACM = VICM + β(VOCM − VICM)
The behavior of the node voltages of the single-ended-todifferential output topology can be deduced from the signal definitions and Figure 64. Referring to Figure 64, CF = 0 and setting VIN = 0, one can write:
(17)
where VICM is the common-mode voltage of the input signal, that is
VICM ≡
VIP − VAP VAP − VON = RG RF
(11)
RG VAN = VAP = VOP RF + RG
(12)
Solving the previous two equations and setting VIP to Vi gives the gain relationship for VO, dm/Vi. R VOP − VON = VO, dm = F Vi RG
VACM = βVOCM + (1 − β)VICM
(13)
An inverting configuration with the same gain magnitude can be implemented by simply applying the input signal to VIN and setting VIP = 0. For a balanced differential input, the gain from VIN, dm to VO, dm is also equal to RF/RG, where VIN, dm = VIP − VIN.
VIP + VIN 2
For proper operation, the voltages at VAN and VAP must stay within their respective linear ranges.
Calculating Input Impedance The input impedance of the circuit in Figure 64 depends on whether the amplifier is being driven by a single-ended or a differential signal source. For balanced differential input signals, the differential input impedance (RIN, dm) is simply RIN, dm = 2RG
(18)
For a single-ended signal (for example, when VIN is grounded and the input signal drives VIP), the input impedance becomes

The input impedance of a conventional inverting op amp configuration is simply RG; however, it is higher in Equation 19 because a fraction of the differential output voltage appears at the summing junctions, VAN and VAP. This voltage partially bootstraps the voltage across the input resistor RG, leading to the increased input resistance.

Input Common-Mode Swing Considerations

One way to avoid the input common-mode swing limitation is to bias VIN and VREF at midsupply. In this case, VIN is 5 V p-p swinging about a baseline at 2.5 V, and VREF is connected to a low-Z 2.5 V source. VICM now has an amplitude of 2.5 V p-p and is swinging about 2.5 V. Using the results in Equation 17, VACM is calculated to be equal to VICM because VOCM = VICM. Therefore, VICM swings from 1.25 V to 3.75 V, which is well within the input common-mode voltage limits of the AD8137. Another benefit seen by this example is that because VOCM = VACM = VICM, no wasted common-mode current flows. Figure 66 illustrates a way to provide the low-Z bias voltage. For situations that do not require a precise reference, a simple voltage divider suffices to develop the input voltage to the buffer.

Consider the case in Figure 65, where VIN is 5 V p-p swinging about a baseline at ground and VREFB is connected to ground. The input signal to the AD8137 is originating from a source with a very low output resistance. The circuit has a differential gain of 1.0 and β = 0.5. VICM has an amplitude of 2.5 V p-p and is swinging about ground. Using the results in Equation 16, the common-mode voltage at the inputs of the AD8137, VACM, is a 1.25 V p-p signal swinging about a baseline of 1.25 V. The maximum negative excursion of VACM in this case is 0.63 V, which exceeds the lower input common-mode voltage limit.

In some single-ended-to-differential applications, when using a single-supply voltage, attention must be paid to the swing of the input common-mode voltage, VACM.
Figure 66. Low-Z Bias Source
Another way to avoid the input common-mode swing limitation is to use dual power supplies on the AD8137. In this case, the biasing circuitry is not required.
Bandwidth vs. Closed-Loop Gain The 3 dB bandwidth of the AD8137 decreases proportionally to increasing closed-loop gain in the same way as a traditional voltage feedback operational amplifier. For closed-loop gains greater than 4, the bandwidth obtained for a specific gain can be estimated as
f −3dB , VO, dm =
RG × (72 MHz) RG + R F
(20)
or equivalently, β(72 MHz). This estimate assumes a minimum 90° phase margin for the amplifier loop, a condition approached for gains greater than 4. Lower gains show more bandwidth than predicted by the equation due to the peaking produced by the lower phase margin.

Estimating DC Errors
Driving a Capacitive Load
Primary differential output offset errors in the AD8137 are due to three major components: the input offset voltage, the offset between the VAN and VAP input currents interacting with the feedback network resistances, and the offset produced by the dc voltage difference between the input and output commonmode voltages in conjunction with matching errors in the feedback network.
A purely capacitive load reacts with the bondwire and pin inductance of the AD8137, resulting in high frequency ringing in the transient response and loss of phase margin. One way to minimize this effect is to place a small resistor in series with each output to buffer the load capacitance. The resistor and load capacitance forms a first-order, low-pass filter; therefore, the resistor value should be as small as possible. In some cases, the ADCs require small series resistors to be added on their inputs.
The first output error component is calculated as
R + RG Vo_e1 = VIO F , or equivalently as VIO/β RG
(21)
Figure 37 and Figure 40 illustrate transient response vs. capacitive load and were generated using series resistors in each output and a differential capacitive load.
where VIO is the input offset voltage.
Layout Considerations
The second error is calculated as (22)
Standard high speed PCB layout practices should be adhered to when designing with the AD8137. A solid ground plane is recommended and good wideband power supply decoupling networks should be placed as close as possible to the supply pins.
(23)
To minimize stray capacitance at the summing nodes, the copper in all layers under all traces and pads that connect to the summing nodes should be removed. Small amounts of stray summing-node capacitance cause peaking in the frequency response, and large amounts can cause instability. If some stray summing-node capacitance is unavoidable, its effects can be compensated for by placing small capacitors across the feedback resistors.
R + RG RG RF Vo_e 2 = I IO F = I IO (RF ) RG RF + RG where IIO is defined as the offset between the two input bias currents. The third error voltage is calculated as Vo_e3 = Δenr × (VICM − VOCM)
where Δenr is the fractional mismatch between the two feedback resistors. The total differential offset error is the sum of these three error sources.
Additional Impact of Mismatches in the Feedback Networks The internal common-mode feedback network still forces the output voltages to remain balanced, even when the RF/RG feedback networks are mismatched. The mismatch, however, causes a gain error proportional to the feedback network mismatch. Ratio-matching errors in the external resistors degrade the ability to reject common-mode signals at the VAN and VIN input terminals, similar to a four resistor, difference amplifier made from a conventional op amp. Ratio-matching errors also produce a differential output component that is equal to the VOCM input voltage times the difference between the feedback factors (βs). In most applications using 1% resistors, this component amounts to a differential dc offset at the output that is small enough to be ignored.
Terminating a Single-Ended Input Controlled impedance interconnections are used in most high speed signal applications, and they require at least one line termination. In analog applications, a matched resistive termination is generally placed at the load end of the line. This section deals with how to properly terminate a single-ended input to the AD8137. The input resistance presented by the AD8137 input circuitry is seen in parallel with the termination resistor, and its loading effect must be taken into account. The Thevenin equivalent circuit of the driver, its source resistance, and the termination resistance must all be included in the calculation as well. An exact solution to the problem requires solution of several simultaneous algebraic equations and is beyond the scope of this data sheet. An iterative solution is also possible and is easier, especially considering the fact that standard resistor values are generally used.

The AD8137 features a PD pin that can be used to minimize the quiescent current consumed when the device is not being used. PD is asserted by applying a low logic level to Pin 7. The threshold between high and low logic levels is nominally 1.1 V above the negative supply rail. See Table 1 to Table 3 for the threshold limits.

+VS
The 52.3 Ω termination resistor, RT, in parallel with the 1 kΩ input resistance of the AD8137 circuit, yields an overall input resistance of 50 Ω that is seen by the signal source. To have matched feedback loops, each loop must have the same RG if it has the same RF. In the input (upper) loop, RG is equal to the 1 kΩ resistor in series with the (+) input plus the parallel combination of RT and the source resistance of 50 Ω. In the upper loop, RG is therefore equal to 1.03 kΩ. The closest standard value is 1.02 kΩ and is used for RG in the lower loop. Things become more complicated when it comes to determining the feedback resistor values. The amplitude of the signal source generator VIN is two times the amplitude of its output signal when terminated in 50 Ω. Therefore, a 2 V p-p terminated amplitude is produced by a 4 V p-p amplitude from VS. The Thevenin equivalent circuit of the signal source and RT must be used when calculating the closed-loop gain because RG in the upper loop is split between the 1 kΩ resistor and the Thevenin resistance looking back toward the source. The Thevenin voltage of the signal source is greater than the signal source output voltage when terminated in 50 Ω because RT must always be greater than 50 Ω. In this case, RT is 52.3 Ω and the Thevenin voltage and resistance are 2.04 V p-p and 25.6 Ω, respectively. Now the upper input branch can be viewed as a 2.04 V p-p source in series with 1.03 kΩ. Because this is to be a unity-gain application, a 2 V p-p differential output is required, and RF must therefore be 1.03 kΩ × (2/2.04) = 1.01 kΩ ≈ 1 kΩ. This example shows that when RF and RG are large compared to RT, the gain reduction produced by the increase in RG is essentially cancelled by the increase in the Thevenin voltage caused by RT being greater than the output resistance of the signal source. In general, as RF and RG become smaller in terminated applications, RF needs to be increased to compensate for the increase in RG.

DRIVING AN ADC WITH GREATER THAN 12-BIT PERFORMANCE Because the AD8137 is suitable for 12-bit systems, it is desirable to measure the performance of the amplifier in a system with greater than 12-bit linearity. In particular, the effective number of bits (ENOB) is most interesting. The AD7687, 16-bit, 250 KSPS ADC performance makes it an ideal candidate for showcasing the 12-bit performance of the AD8137. For this application, the AD8137 is set in a gain of 2 and driven single-ended through a 20 kHz band-pass filter, while the output is taken differentially to the input of the AD7687 (see Figure 69). This circuit has mismatched RG impedances and, therefore, has a dc offset at the differential output. It is included as a test circuit to illustrate the performance of the AD8137. Actual application circuits should have matched feedback networks. For an AD7687 input range up to −1.82 dBFS, the AD8137 power supply is a single 5 V applied to VS+ with VS− tied to ground. To increase the AD7687 input range to −0.45 dBFS, the AD8137 supplies are increased to +6 V and −1 V. In both cases, the VOCM pin is biased with 2.5 V and the PD pin is left floating. All voltage supplies are decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitors. Figure 70 and Figure 71 show the performance of the −1.82 dBFS setup and the −0.45 dBFS setup, respectively.
When generating the typical performance characteristics data, the measurements were calibrated to take the effects of the terminations on closed-loop gain into account. Rev. E | Page 27 of 32
