Typical values represent most likely parametric norms at TA = +25ºC, and at the Recommended Operation Conditions at the time of
product characterization and are not ensured.
Datasheet min/max specification limits are specified by test or statistical analysis.
PSRR is measured as follows: VOS is measured at two supply voltages, ±5V and ±15V. PSRR = | 20log(ΔVOS/ΔVS) |.
The ENABLE threshold voltage is determined by VBE voltages and will therefore vary with temperature. The typical values represent the
most likely parametric norms at TA = +25°C.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
GENERAL OPERATION
The LME49724 is a fully differential amplifier with an integrated common-mode reference input (VOCM). Fully
differential amplification provides increased noise immunity, high dynamic range, and reduced harmonic
distortion products.
Differential amplifiers typically have high CMRR providing improved immunity from noise. When input, output,
and supply line trace pairs are routed together, noise pick up is common and easily rejected by the LME49724.
CMRR performance is directly proportional to the tolerance and matching of the gain configuring resistors. With
0.1% tolerance resistors the worst case CMRR performance will be about 60dB (20LOG(0.001)).
A differential output has a higher dynamic range than a single-ended output because of the doubling of output
voltage. The dynamic range is increased by 6dB as a result of the outputs being equal in magnitude but opposite
in phase. As an example, a single-ended output with a 1VPP signal will be two 1VPP signals with a differential
output. The increase is 20LOG(2) = 6dB. Differential amplifiers are ideal for low voltage applications because of
the increase in signal amplitude relative to a single-ended amplifier and the resulting improvement in SNR.
Differential amplifiers can also have reduced even order harmonics, all conditions equal, when compared to a
single-ended amplifier. The differential output causes even harmonics to cancel between the two inverted outputs
leaving only the odd harmonics. In practice even harmonics do not cancel completely, however there still is a
reduction in total harmonic distortion.
OUTPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE (VOCM pin)
The output common-mode voltage is the DC voltage on each output. The output common-mode voltage is set by
the VOCM pin. The VOCM pin can be driven by a low impedance source. If no voltage is applied to the VOCM pin,
the DC common-mode output voltage will be set by the internal resistor divider to the midpoint of the voltages on
the VCC and VEE pins. The input impedance of the VOCM pin is 50kΩ. The VOCM pin can be driven up to VCC 1.5V and VEE + 1.5V. The VOCM pin should be bypassed to ground with a 0.1μF to 1μF capacitor. The VOCM pin
should be connected to ground when the desired output common-mode voltage is ground reference. The value
of the external capacitor has an effect on the PSRR performance of the LME49724. With the VOCM pin only
bypassed with a low value capacitor, the PSRR performance of the LME49724 will be reduced, especially at low
audio frequencies. For best PSRR performance, the VOCM pin should be connected to stable, clean reference.
Increasing the value of the bypass capacitor on the VOCM pin will also improve PSRR performance.
ENABLE FUNCTION
The LME49724 can be placed into standby mode to reduce system current consumption by driving the ENABLE
pin below VEE + 1.75V. The LME49724 is active when the voltage on the ENABLE pin is above VEE + 2.35V. The
ENABLE pin should not be left floating. For best performance under all conditions, drive the ENABLE pin to the
VEE pin voltage to enter standby mode and to ground for active operation when operating from split supplies.
When operating from a single supply, drive the ENABLE pin to ground for standby mode and to VCC for active
mode.

SINGLE-ENDED TO DIFFERENTIAL CONVERSION
For many applications, it is required to convert a single-ended signal to a differential signal. The LME49724 can
be used for a high performance, simple single-to-differential converter. Figure 51 shows the typical single-todifferential converter circuit configuration.

SINGLE SUPPLY OPERATION
The LME49724 can be operated from a single power supply, as shown in Figure 52. The supply voltage range is
limited to a minimum of 5V and a maximum of 36V. The common-mode output DC voltage will be set to the
midpoint of the supply voltage. The VOCM pin can be used to adjust the common-mode output DC voltage on the
outputs, as described previously, if the supply voltage midpoint is not the desired DC voltage.
Figure 52. Single Supply Configuration
DRIVING A CAPACITIVE LOAD
The LME49724 is a high speed op amp with excellent phase margin and stability. Capacitive loads up to 100pF
will cause little change in the phase characteristics of the amplifiers and are therefore allowable.
Capacitive loads greater than 100pF must be isolated from the output. The most straightforward way to do this is
to put a resistor in series with the output. This resistor will also prevent excess power dissipation if the output is
accidentally shorted.
THERMAL PCB DESIGN
The LME49724's high operating supply voltage along with its high output current capability can result in
significant power dissipation. For this reason the LME49724 is provided in the exposed DAP SO PowerPad
package for improved thermal dissipation performance compared to other surface mount packages. The exposed
pad is designed to be soldered to a copper plane on the PCB which then acts as a heat sink. The thermal plane
can be on any layer by using multiple thermal vias under and outside the IC package. The vias under the IC
should have solder mask openings for the entire pad under the IC on the top layer but cover the vias on the
bottom layer. This method prevents solder from being pulled away from the thermal vias during the reflow
process resulting in optimum thermal conductivity.
Heat radiation from the PCB plane area is best accomplished when the thermal plane is on the top or bottom
copper layers. The LME49724 should always be soldered down to a copper pad on the PCB for both optimum
thermal performance as well as mechanical stability.
The exposed pad is for heat transfer and the thermal plane should either be electrically isolated or connected to
the same potential as the VEE pin. For high frequency applications (f > 1MHz) or lower impedance loads, the pad
should be connected to a plane that is connected to the VEE potential.

SUPPLY BYPASSING
The LME49724 should have its supply leads bypassed with low-inductance capacitors such as leadless surface
mount (SMT) capacitors located as close as possible to the supply pins. It is recommended that a 10μF tantalum
or electrolytic capacitor be placed in parallel with a 0.1μF ceramic or film type capacitor on each supply pin.
These capacitors should be star routed with a dedicated ground return plane or large trace for best THD
performance. Placing capacitors too far from the power supply pins, especially with thin connecting traces, can
lead to excessive inductance, resulting in degraded high-frequency bypassing. Poor high-frequency bypassing
can result in circuit instabilities. When using high bandwidth power supplies, the value and number of supply
bypass capacitors should be reduced for optimal power supply performance.
BALANCE CABLE DRIVER
With high peak-to-peak differential output voltage and plenty of low distortion drive current, the LME49724 makes
an excellent balanced cable driver. Combining the single-to-differential configuration with a balanced cable driver
results in a high performance single-ended input to balanced line driver solution.
Although the LME49724 can drive capacitive loads up to 100pF, cable loads exceeding 100pF can cause
instability. For such applications, series resistors are needed on the outputs before the capacitive load.
ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER (ADC) APPLICATION
Figure 53 is a typical fully differential application circuit for driving an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The
additional components of R5, R6, and C7 are optional components and are for stability and proper ADC sampling.
ADC's commonly use switched capacitor circuitry at the input. When the ADC samples the signal the current
momentarily increases and may disturb the signal integrity at the sample point causing a signal glitch.
Component C7 is significantly larger than the input capacitance of a typical ADC and acts as a charge reservoir
greatly reducing the effect of the signal sample by the ADC. Resistors R5 and R6 decouple the capacitive load,
C7, for stability. The values shown are general values. Specific values should be optimized for the particular ADC
loading requirements.
The output reference voltage from the ADC can be used to drive the VOCM pin to set the common-mode DC
voltage on the outputs of the LME49724. A buffer may be needed to drive the LME49724's VOCM pin if the ADC
cannot drive the 50kΩ input impedance of the VOCM pin.
In order to minimize circuit distortion when using capacitors in the signal path, the capacitors should be
comprised of either NPO ceramic, polystyrene, polypropylene or mica composition. Other types of capacitors
may provide a reduced distortion performance but for a cost improvement, so capacitor selection is dependent
upon design requirements. The performance/cost tradeoff for a specific application is left up to the user.

DISTORTION MEASUREMENTS
The vanishing low residual distortion produced by the LME49724 is below the capabilities of commercially
available equipment. This makes distortion measurements more difficult than simply connecting a distortion
meter to the amplifier’s inputs and outputs. The solution, however, is quite simple: an additional resistor. Adding
this resistor extends the resolution of the distortion measurement equipment.
The LME49724’s low residual distortion is an input referred internal error. As shown in Figure 54, adding a
resistor connected between the amplifier’s inputs changes the amplifier’s noise gain. The result is that the error
signal (distortion) is increased. Although the amplifier’s closed-loop gain is unaltered, the feedback available to
correct distortion errors is reduced, which means that measurement resolution increases. To ensure minimum
effects on distortion measurements, keep the value of R5 low. The distortion reading on the audio analyzer must
be divided by a factor of (R3 + R4)/R5, where R1 = R2 and R3 = R4, to get the actual measured distortion of the
device under test. The values used for the LME49724 measurements were R1, R2, R3, R4 = 1kΩ and R5 = 20Ω.
This technique is verified by duplicating the measurements with high closed-loop gain and/or making the
measurements at high frequencies. Doing so produces distortion components that are within the measurement
equipment’s capabilities.

PERFORMANCE VARIATIONS
The LME49724 has excellent performance with little variation across different supply voltages, load impedances,
and input configuration (single-ended or differential). Inspection of the THD+N vs Frequency and THD+N vs
Output Voltage performance graphs (See Typical Performance Characteristics reveals only minimal differences
with different load values. Figure 55 and Figure 56 below show the performance across different supply voltages
with the same output signal level and load. Figure 55 has plots at ±5V, ±12V, ±15V, and ±18V with a 3VRMS
output while Figure 56 has plots at ±12V, ±15V, and ±18V with a 10VRMS output. Both figures use a 600Ω load.
The performance for each different supply voltage under the same conditions is so similar it is nearly impossible
to discern the different plots lines.

combination of the performance graphs found in Typical Performance Characteristics.

Although supply current may not be a critical specification for many applications, there is also no real variation in
supply current with no load or with a 600Ω load. This is a result of the extremely low offset voltage, typically less
than 1mV. Figure 61 shows the supply current under the two conditions with no real difference discernable.
