The DRV134 and DRV135 are differential output
amplifiers that convert a single-ended input to a
balanced output pair. These balanced audio drivers
consist of high performance op amps with on-chip
precision resistors. They are fully specified for high
performance audio applications and have excellent ac
specifications, including low distortion (0.0005% at 1
kHz) and high slew rate (15 V/µs).

High Capacitive Load Drive
High Slew Rate: 15 V/µs
Wide Supply Range: ±4.5 V to ±18 V
Low Quiescent Current: ±5.2 mA
8-Pin DIP, SO-8, and SOL-16 Packages
Companion to Audio Differential Line Receivers:
INA134 and INA137
Improved Replacement for SSM2142
The on-chip resistors are laser-trimmed for accurate
gain and optimum output common-mode rejection.
Wide output voltage swing and high output drive
capability allow use in a wide variety of demanding
applications. They easily drive the large capacitive
loads associated with long audio cables. Used in
combination with the INA134 or INA137 differential
receivers, they offer a complete solution for
transmitting analog audio signals without degradation.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The DRV134 and DRV135 consist of an input inverter driving a cross- coupled differential output stage with 50 Ω
series output resistors. Characterized by low differential-mode output impedance (50 Ω) and high common-mode
output impedance (1.6 kΩ), the DRV134 and DRV135 are ideal for audio applications.
Excellent internal design and layout techniques provide low signal distortion, high output level (27 dBu), and a
low noise floor (–98 dBu). Laser trimming of thin film resistors assures excellent output common-mode rejection
(OCMR) and signal balance ratio (SBR). In addition, low dc voltage offset reduces errors and minimizes load
currents.
The Functional Block Diagram section shows a detailed block diagram of the DRV134 and DRV135.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Audio Performance
The DRV134 and DRV135 were designed for enhanced ac performance. Very low distortion, low noise, and wide
bandwidth provide superior performance in high quality audio applications. Laser-trimmed matched resistors
provide optimum output common-mode rejection (typically 68dB), especially when compared to circuits
implemented with op amps and discrete precision resistors. In addition, high slew rate (15 V/μs) and fast settling
time (2.5 μs to 0.01%) ensure excellent dynamic response.
The DRV134 and DRV135 have excellent distortion characteristics. As shown in the distortion data provided in
the Typical Characteristics section, THD+Noise is below 0.003% throughout the audio frequency range under
various output conditions. Both differential and single-ended modes of operation are shown. In addition, the
optional 10μF blocking capacitors used to minimize VOCM errors have virtually no effect on performance.
Measurements were taken with an Audio Precision System One (with the internal 80 kHz noise filter) using the
THD test circuit shown in Figure 24.

Feature Description (continued)
Up to approximately 10 kHz, distortion is below the measurement limit of commonly used test equipment.
Furthermore, distortion remains relatively constant over the wide output voltage swing range (approximately 2.5
V from the positive supply and 1.5 V from the negative supply). A special output stage topology yields a design
with minimum distortion variation from lot-to-lot and unit-to-unit. Furthermore, the small and large signal transient
response curves demonstrate the stability under load of the DRV134 and DRV135.

8.3.2 Output Common-Mode Rejection
Output common-mode rejection (OCMR) is defined as the change in differential output voltage due to a change
in output common-mode voltage. When measuring OCMR, VIN is grounded and a common-mode voltage, VCM,
is applied to the output as shown in Figure 25. Ideally no differential mode signal (VOD) should appear.
However, a small mode-conversion effect causes an error signal whose magnitude is quantified by OCMR.

8.3.3 Signal Balance Ratio
Signal balance ratio (SBR) measures the symmetry of the output signals under loaded conditions. To measure
SBR an input signal is applied and the outputs are summed as shown in Figure 26. VOUT should be zero since
each output ideally is exactly equal and opposite. However, an error signal results from any imbalance in the
outputs. This error is quantified by SBR. The impedances of the DRV134 and DRV135’s output stages are
closely matched by laser trimming to minimize SBR errors. In an application, SBR also depends on the balance
of the load network.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Differential-Output Mode
In differential-output mode, the DRV134 (and DRV135 in SO-8 package) converts a single-ended, groundreferenced input to a floating differential output with +6 dB gain (G = 2). Figure 27 shows the basic connections
required for operation in differential-output mode.
Normally, +VO is connected to +Sense, –VO is connected to –Sense, and the outputs are taken from these
junctions as shown in Figure 27.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
8.4.2 Single-Ended Mode
The DRV134 can be operated in single-ended mode without degrading output drive capability. Single-ended
operation requires that the unused side of the output pair be grounded (both the VO and Sense pins) to a low
impedance return path. Gain remains +6 dB. Grounding the negative outputs as shown in Figure 28 results in a
non-inverted output signal (G = +2) while grounding the positive outputs gives an inverted output signal (G = –2).

Figure 28. Typical Single-Ended Application
For best rejection of line noise and hum differential mode operation is recommended. However, single-ended
performance is adequate for many applications. In general single ended performance is comparable to
differential mode (see THD+N typical performance curves), but the common mode and noise rejection inherent in
balanced-pair systems is lost.

9 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. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
Decoupling capacitors placed close to the device pins are strongly recommended in applications with noisy or
high impedance power supplies.
For best system performance, it is recommended that a high input-impedance difference amplifier be used as the
receiver. Used with the INA134 (G = 0 dB) or the INA137 (G = ±6 dB) differential line receivers, the DRV134
forms a complete solution for driving and receiving audio signals, replacing input and output coupling
transformers commonly used in professional audio systems (Figure 29). When used with the INA137 (G = –6 dB)
overall system gain is unity.
9.2 Typical Application
9.2.1 Cable Driving Application
The DRV134 is capable of driving large signals into 600-Ω loads over long cables. Low impedance shielded
audio cables such as the standard Belden 8451 or 9452 (or similar) are recommended, especially in applications
where long cable lengths are required.
For applications with large dc cable offset errors, a 10-µF electrolytic nonpolarized blocking capacitor at each
sense pin is recommended as shown in Figure 29.

9.2.1.1 Design Requirements
Consider a design with the goal of differentially transmitting a single ended signal of up to 22.2 dBu through 500
ft of cable with no load at the receiving side. The signal at the end of the cable should have no more than 0.002
percent of total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) at 10 kHz and less than 0.0005 percent of THD+N for
frequencies between 20 Hz and 1 kHz.
The system is required to put out a single ended signal 0 dB with respect to the input signal and accommodate
inputs with peak to RMS ratios of up to 1.5 for the maximum 22.2 dBu range established above.

Typical Application (continued)
9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The dBu is a common unit of measurement for input sensitivity and output level of professional audio equipment.
A 0 dBu signal dissipates 1 mW into a 600-Ω resistive load; therefore, a 0 dBu signal corresponds to
approximately 0.775 VRMS. Equation 1 shows the relationship between the signal level in dBu (denoted by Lu)
and the signal level in VRMS (denoted by x).

For this design, the single ended input signal of 22.2 dBu corresponds to 9.98 VRMS as shown in Equation 2.

Given that the system must accommodate for 22.2 dBu signals with up to 1.5 of peak to RMS ratio, the
maximum peak input signal is 14.97 VPEAK as calculated in Equation 3.
VIN _ PEAK
1.59.98 14.97 VPEAK
(3)
The DRV134 is chosen to convert the single ended input signal into a differential signal and the outputs of the
DRV134 will be connected to one end of the 500 ft cable. In order to prevent clipping and distortion of the input
signal, the power supply rails for the DRV134 are chosen as 3 V above and below the peak calculated in
Equation 3. The 3 V margin is derived from the output voltage swing specification given in the Electrical
Characteristics table. The supplies selected are 18 V for V+ and –18 V for V–.
Finally, the INA137 is used at the end of the 500 ft cable in order to convert the differential signal output of the
DRV134 into a single ended signal that is 0 dB with respect to the input signal.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The DRV134 and DRV135 are designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between ±4.5 V and ±18
V. This input supply should be well regulated. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the
DRV134 or DRV135 additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
A driver/receiver balanced-pair (such as the DRV134 and INA137) rejects the voltage differences between the
grounds at each end of the cable, which can be caused by ground currents, supply variations, etc. In addition to
proper bypassing (as shown in Figure 32 and Figure 33), the suggestions below should be followed to achieve
optimal OCMR and noise rejection.
• The DRV134 input should be driven by a low impedance source such as an op amp or buffer.
• As is the case for any single-ended system, the source’s common should be connected as close as possible
to the DRV134’s ground. Any ground offset errors in the source will degrade system performance.
• Symmetry on the outputs should be maintained.
• Shielded twisted-pair cable is recommended for all applications. Physical balance in signal wiring should be
maintained. Capacitive differences due to varying wire lengths may result in unequal noise pickup between
the pair and degrade OCMR. Follow industry practices for proper system grounding of the cables.

11.3 Thermal Performance
The DRV134 and DRV135 have robust output drive capability and excellent performance over temperature. In
most applications there is no significant difference between the DIP, SOL-16, and SO-8 packages. However, for
applications with extreme temperature and load conditions, the SOL-16 (DRV134UA) or DIP (DRV134PA)
packages are recommended. Under these conditions, such as loads greater than 600 Ω or very long cables,
performance may be degraded in the SO-8 (DRV135UA) package.
