Note: The device incorporates an exposed die pad on the underside of its package. The pad acts as a
heat sink and must be connected to a copper plane through the thermal plane for proper heat
dissipation. It is internally connected to VSS, but on the board, it should be connected to ground.

°C
Continuous operation above 145 °C junction temperature may degrade the device reliability. The typical
TSD temperature is 170 °C, with 20 °C hysteresis.
4.1.1
Thermal Resistance
Thermal performance of a thermally enhanced package is assured through an optimized PCB layout. The
specified performance requires that the exposed thermal pad should be soldered to an equally sized
exposed copper surface, which, in turn, conducts heat through multiple vias to larger internal copper
planes.
The following table lists the simulation results of a device mounted on a 4-layer JEDEC PCB with 12
thermal vias in still air. These numbers are only for reference.

Operational States
Operating state is controlled through three input pins: C0, C1, and C2. C1 and C2 are binary inputs with
internal pull-down resistors. C0 is a tri-state input with an internal resistor pulling to the middle (M)
logic value if the pin is not driven. If the inputs are not driven, the line driver by default changes into the
power down state.
The following table lists the operational state control of the Le87271 device.

4.3.1
TX States
In TX states, the amplifiers are fully active with gain from INx to OUTx. TX states provide four steps of
bias current to the amplifiers. This allows some selection of power versus linearity in the line driver
performance. The TX states are further identified as ADSL states (lower bias current, lower noise) or
VDSL states (higher bias current, higher bandwidth).
4.3.2
Power Down State
Line driver amplifiers are turned off, and there is no gain from INx to OUTx. The amplifier outputs are
high-impedance. The gain-setting resistors around the amplifiers remain in place and present a
differential impedance at the OUT_P/N.
4.3.3
Thermal Shut-down
Thermal shut-down (TSD) is activated at high silicon temperature. Amplifiers are turned off. There is
hysteresis in the TSD temperature threshold. After the silicon cools down below the threshold level, the
line driver returns to the operating state indicated by the control inputs.

5.1.1
IREF
Connect RREF from IREF pin to ground. DC current through RREF provides reference bias current for the
device.
5.1.2
Input Consideration
The inductance of the trace from driving source to CTXP or CTXN should be less than 100 nH to avoid
any ringing or oscillation.
5.1.3
Output Driving Considerations
Inside the amplifier, there is no current limit mechanism. RSA and RSB in a few ohms enable to limit
current viewed by the line driver in case of large fault transients. If a DC current path exists between the
two outputs, DC current can flow through the outputs. With RSP and RSN resistors as shown in place,
however, any DC current will be trivial, and therefore, such DC blocking capacitor may not be needed.
5.1.4
Protection
The line driver has thermal shutdown protection. Amplifiers turn off and outputs appear as
high-impedance if the silicon temperature rises above the TSD temperature.
As shown in the Typical Application Circuit (see page 11) figure, diode bridges may be used at the
secondary side of the data transformer to clamp transients between the VDD and VSS rails. It is possible
that additional transient clamping devices are needed to protect on the line side of the data transformer
the isolation of the data transformer in the event of common mode faults.
5.1.5
Power Supplies and Component Placement
The power supply should be well bypassed with decoupling placed close to the Le87271 device.
