SLOS233F – APRIL 1999 – REVISED AUGUST 2009....................................................................................................................................................... www.ti.com
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
DESCRIPTION
The THS6032 is a low-power line driver ideal for asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL) applications. This
device contains two high-current, high-speed current-feedback drivers, which can be configured differentially for
driving ADSL signals at the central office. The THS6032 features a unique class-G architecture to lower power
consumption to 1.35 W. The THS6032 can also be operated in a traditional class-AB mode to reduce the number
of power supplies to two.
The class-G architecture supplies current to the load from four supplies. For low output voltages (typically –2.5 <
VO < +2.5), some of the output current is supplied from the +VCC(L) and –VCC(L) supplies (typically ±5 V). For large
output voltages (typically VO < –2.5 and VO > +2.5), the output current is supplied from +VCC(H) and –VCC(H)
(typically ±15 V). This current sharing between VCC(L) and VCC(H) minimizes power dissipation within the THS6032
output stages for high crest factor ADSL signals.
The THS6032 features a low-impedance shutdown mode, which allows the central office to receive incoming
calls even after the device has been shut down. The THS6032 is available packaged in the patented
PowerPAD ™ package. This package provides outstanding thermal characteristics in a small-footprint
surface-mount package, which is fully compatible with automated surface-mount assembly procedures. It is also
available in the new MicroStar Junior ™ BGA package. This package is only 25 mm2 in area, allowing for
high-density PCB designs.
Shutdown (SHDN1 and SHDN2) allows for powering down the internal circuitry for power conservation or for
multiplexing. Separate shutdown controls are available for each channel on the THS6032. The control levels are
TTL compatible. When turned off, each driver output is placed in a low impedance state which is determined by
the voltage at DGND. This virtual ground at the outputs allows proper termination of a transmission line.

Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating
conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
VCC(L) must always be less than or equal to VCC(H).
The THS6032 incorporates a PowerPAD on the underside of the chip. This acts as a heat sink and must be connected to a
thermally-dissipative plane for proper power dissipation. Failure to do so may result in exceeding the maximum junction temperature
which could permanently damage the device. See the Thermal Information section for more information about using the PowerPAD
thermally-enhanced packages.

A heat sink is required to keep junction temperature below absolute maximum when an output is heavily loaded or shorted. See
Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Disable/enable time begins when the logic signal is applied to the shutdown terminal and ends when the supply current has reached half
of its final value.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
ADSL
The THS6032 was primarily designed as a low-power line driver for ADSL (asymmetrical digital subscriber line).
The driver output stage has been sized to provide full ADSL power levels of 20 dBm onto the telephone lines.
Although actual driver output peak voltages and currents vary with each particular ADSL application, the
THS6032 is specified for a minimum full output current of 400 mA at its full output voltage of approximately 11 V.
This performance meets the demanding needs of ADSL at the central office end of the telephone line. A typical
ADSL schematic is shown in Figure 36.

Figure 36. THS6032 ADSL Application
The ADSL transmit band consists of 255 separate carrier frequencies, each with its own modulation and
amplitude level. With such an implementation, it is imperative that signals put onto the telephone line have as low
a distortion as possible. This is because any distortion either interferes directly with other ADSL carrier
frequencies or it creates intermodulation products that interfere with ADSL carrier frequencies.

The THS6032 has been specifically designed for ultra low distortion by careful circuit implementation and by
taking advantage of the superb characteristics of the complementary bipolar process. Driver single-ended
distortion measurements are shown in Figure 11 through Figure 15. It is commonly known that in the differential
driver configuration, the second order harmonics tend to cancel out. Thus, the dominant total harmonic distortion
(THD) will be primarily due to the third order harmonics. Additionally, distortion should be reduced as the
feedback resistance drops. This is because the bandwidth of the amplifier increases, which allows the amplifier
to react faster to any nonlinearities in the closed-loop system.
Another significant point is the fact that distortion decreases as the impedance load increases. This is because
the output resistance of the amplifier becomes less significant as compared to the output load resistance.
One problem that has been receiving a lot of attention in the ADSL area is power dissipation. One way to
substantially reduce power dissipation is to lower the power supply voltages. This is because the RMS voltage of
an ADSL central office signal is 1.65-V RMS at each driver's output with a 1:2 transformer. But, to meet ADSL
requirements, the drivers must have a voltage peak-to-RMS crest factor of 5.6 in order to keep the bit-error
probability rate below 10–7. Hence, the power supply voltages must be high enough to accomplish the driver's
peak output voltage of 1.65 V × 5.6 = 9.25 V(PEAK).
This high peak output voltage requirement, coupled with a low RMS voltage requirement, does not lend itself to
conventional high efficiency designs. One way to save power is to decrease the bias currents internal to the
amplifier. The drawback of doing this is an increase in distortion and a lower frequency response bandwidth.
This is where the THS6032 class-G architecture is useful. The class-G output stage utilizes both a high supply
voltage [VCC(H) typically ± 15 V] and a low supply voltage [(VCC(L) typically ± 6 V]. As long as the output voltage is
less than [VCC(L) – 2.5 V], then part of the output current will be drawn from the VCC(L) supplies. If the output
signal goes above this cutoff point [for example, VO > VCC(L) – 2.5 V], then all of the output current will be
supplied by VCC(H).
To ensure that the cutoff point does not introduce distortion into the system, the entire output stage is always
biased on. This constant biasing scheme will cause a decrease in the efficiency over hard switching class-G
circuits, but the very low distortion results tend to outweigh the efficiency loss. The biasing scheme used in the
THS6032 can be shown by the currents being supplied by the VCC(L) power supplies in Figure 37. This graph
shows there is no discrete current transfer point between the VCC(L) supplies and the VCC(H) supplies. This was
done to ensure low distortion throughout the entire output range. By changing the VCC(L) supply voltage, the
system efficiency can be tailored to suit almost any system with high crest factor requirements.

CLASS-AB MODE OPERATION
The class-G architecture produces sizable power dissipation savings over traditional class-AB designs while
maintaining low distortion requirements. The only drawback to the class-G design is the requirement of 4 power
supply voltages, 2 more than a typical line driver requires. In certain instances, the addition of two separate
power supplies may be cost prohibitive or PCB space prohibitive. In these cases there are two options, use a
traditional amplifier, such as a THS6012, or use the THS6032 in class-AB mode.
Using the THS6032 in class-AB mode will give several functional benefits over the THS6012. This includes
shutdown capability, low-impedance output while in shutdown state, and a slight reduction in quiescent current.
One important thing to remember is that the THS6032 running in class-AB mode, will be only about as efficient
as the THS6012. This means that the power dissipation of the THS6032 will increase dramatically and must be
accounted for. Failure to do so will result in a part which continuously overheats and may lead to failure.
To use the THS6032 in class-AB mode, the user should always connect the VCC(L) power supply pins to GND.
The internal VCC(L) paths were not designed for continuous full output current and could possibly fail. The VCC(H)
paths were designed for the full output currents and thus, should be used for class-AB mode operation.
The performance of the THS6032 while in class-AB mode is very similar to the class-G mode. Figure 7 and
Figure 12 show THS6032 performance while in class-AB mode.
DEVICE PROTECTION FEATURES
The THS6032 has two built-in features that protect the device against improper operation. The first protection
mechanism is output current limiting. Should the output become shorted to ground the output current is
automatically limited to the value given in the data sheet. While this protects the output against excessive
current, the device internal power dissipation increases due to the high current and large voltage drop across the
output transistors. Continuous output shorts are not recommended and could damage the device. Additionally,
connection of the amplifier output to one of the high supply rails [ ±VCC(H) ] can cause failure of the device and is
not recommended.
The second built-in protection feature is thermal shutdown. Should the internal junction temperature rise above
approximately +180°C, the device automatically shuts down. Such a condition could exist with improper heat
sinking or if the output is shorted to ground. When the junction temperature drops below +150°C, the internal
thermal shutdown circuit automatically turns the device back on.
THERMAL INFORMATION
The THS6032 is available in a thermally-enhanced DWP package and a VFP package, which are members of
the PowerPAD family of packages. These packages are constructed using a downset leadframe upon which the
die is mounted [see Figure 38(a) and Figure 38(b) for the DWP views]. This arrangement results in the lead
frame being exposed as a thermal pad on the underside of the package [see Figure 38©)]. Because this thermal
pad has direct thermal contact with the die, excellent thermal performance can be achieved by providing a good
thermal path away from the thermal pad.

The THS6032 is also available in the MicroStar Junior GQE package. Just like the DWP and VFP packages, the
GQE package utilizes the PowerPAD functionality to improve thermal performance. The GQE package is part of
the new ball-grid array (BGA) family developed by Texas Instruments (TI). This package allows for even
higher-density layouts with virtually no loss in thermal performance. Its construction is similar to the DWP and
VFP construction [see Figure 39 (a) and (b)], but uses the terminal balls to transfer the heat away from the die.

The PowerPAD packages allows for both assembly and thermal management in one manufacturing operation.
During the surface-mount solder operation (when the leads or balls are being soldered), the thermal areas can
also be soldered to a copper area underneath the package. Through the use of thermal paths within this copper
area, heat can be conducted away from the package into either a ground plane or other heat dissipating device.
This is discussed in more detail in the PCB design considerations section of this document.
The PowerPAD package represents a breakthrough in combining the small area and ease of assembly of
surface mount with the, heretofore, awkward mechanical methods of heat sinking.
Because of its power dissipation, proper thermal management of the THS6032 is required. There are several
ways to properly heat sink all three PowerPAD packages. There are several TI application notes on how to best
accomplish the thermal mounting scheme required for each package. For the DWP and VFP packages, refer to
the Texas Instruments Technical Brief, PowerPAD Thermally-Enhanced Package (SLMA002). There is also a
more compact technical paper entitled PowerPad Made Easy (SLMA004). For the GQE – MicroStar Junior
package, refer to the MicroStar BGA Packaging Reference Guide (SSYZ015A) and the compact version entitled
MicroStar Junior Made Easy (SSYA009). This literature is available on TI's web site at http://www.ti.com.
The actual thermal performance achieved with the THS6032 in its PowerPAD package depends on the
application. In the previous example, if the size of the internal ground plane is approximately 3 inches × 3 inches,
then the expected thermal coefficient, θJA, is about 21.5°C/W for the DWP package, 37.8°C/W for the GQE
package, and 30°C/W for the VFP package. Although the maximum recommended junction temperature (TJ) is
listed as +150°C, performance at this elevated temperature will suffer. To ensure optimal performance, the
junction temperature should be kept below +125°C. Above this temperature, distortion will tend to increase.
Figure 40 shows the recommended power dissipation with a junction temperature of +125°C. Also shown is what
happens if no solder is used to solder the PowerPAD to the PCB. The θJA increases dramatically with a vast
reduction in power dissipation. For a given θJA and a maximum junction temperature, the power dissipation is
calculated by the following formula:

PCB DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Proper PCB design techniques in two areas are important to assure proper operation of the THS6032. These
areas are high-speed layout techniques and thermal-management techniques. Because the THS6032 is a
high-speed part, the following guidelines are recommended.
• Ground plane – It is essential that a ground plane be used on the board to provide all components with a
low-inductance ground connection. Although a ground connection directly to a terminal of the THS6032 is not
necessarily required, it is recommended that the thermal pad of the package be tied to ground. This serves
two functions. It provides a low-inductance ground to the device substrate to minimize internal crosstalk, and
it provides a path for heat removal.
• Input stray capacitance – To minimize potential problems with amplifier oscillation, the capacitance at the
inverting input of the amplifiers must be kept to a minimum. To do this, PCB trace runs to the inverting input
must be as short as possible, the ground plane must be removed under any etch runs connected to the
inverting input, and external components should be placed as close as possible to the inverting input. This is
especially true in the noninverting configuration. An example of this can be seen in Figure 41, which shows
what happens when a 2.2 pF capacitor is added to the inverting input terminal in the noninverting
configuration. The bandwidth increases dramatically at the expense of peaking. This is because some of the
error current is flowing through the stray capacitor instead of the inverting node of the amplifier. While the
device is in the inverting mode, stray capacitance at the inverting input has a minimal effect. This is because
the inverting node is at a virtual ground and the voltage does not fluctuate nearly as much as in the
noninverting configuration. This can be seen in Figure 42, where a 27-pF capacitor adds only 2.5 dB of
peaking. In general, as the gain of the system increases, the output peaking due to this capacitor decreases.
While this can initially appear to be a faster and better system, overshoot and ringing are more likely to occur
under fast transient conditions. Therefore, proper analysis of adding a capacitor to the inverting input node
should always be performed to ensure stable operation.

Proper power supply decoupling – Use a minimum of a 6.8-μF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1-μF
ceramic capacitor on each supply terminal. It may be possible to share the tantalum capacitor among several
amplifiers depending on the application, but a 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor should always be used on the supply
terminal of every amplifier. In addition, the 0.1-μF capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the
supply terminal. As this distance increases, the inductance in the connecting etch makes the capacitor less
effective. The designer should strive for distances of less than 0.1 inches between the device power terminal
and the ceramic capacitors.
Differential power supply decoupling – The THS6032 was designed to drive low-impedance differential
signals. The 25-Ω load that each amplifier drives causes large amounts of current to flow from amplifier to
amplifier. Power-supply decoupling for differential-currents must be provided to ensure low distortion in the
THS6032. By simply connecting a 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor from the +VCC(H) pin to the –VCC(H) pin, along with
another 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor from the +VCC(L) pin to the –VCC(L) pin, differential current loops will be
minimized (see Figure 36). This will help keep the THS6032 operating at peak performance.

RECOMMENDED FEEDBACK AND GAIN RESISTOR VALUES
As with all current feedback amplifiers, the bandwidth of the THS6032 is an inversely-proportional function of the
value of the feedback resistor. This can be seen from Figure 1 to Figure 6. The recommended resistors for the
optimum frequency response with a 25-Ω load system can be seen in Table 1. These should be used as a
starting point. When optimum values are found, 1%- tolerance resistors should be used to maintain frequency
response characteristics. For most applications, a feedback-resistor value of 1.3 kΩ is recommended; this value
provides a good compromise between bandwidth and phase margin that yields a very stable amplifier.
Consistent with current-feedback amplifiers, increasing the gain is best accomplished by changing the gain
resistor, not the feedback resistor. This is because the bandwidth of the amplifier is dominated by the feedback
resistor value and the internal dominant-pole capacitor. The ability to control the amplifier gain independently of
the bandwidth constitutes a major advantage of current-feedback amplifiers over conventional voltage-feedback
amplifiers. Therefore, once a frequency response is found suitable to a particular application, adjust the value of
the gain resistor to increase or decrease the overall amplifier gain.
Finally, it is important to realize the effects of the feedback resistance on distortion. Increasing the resistance
decreases the loop gain and increases the distortion. It is also important to know that decreasing load impedance
increases total harmonic distortion (THD). Typically, the third-order harmonic distortion increases more than the
second-order harmonic distortion.

SHUTDOWN CONTROL
There are two shutdown pins that control the shutdown for each amplifier of the THS6032. When the shutdown
pin signals are low, the THS6032 is active. But, when a shutdown pin is high (≥2 V), the corresponding amplifier
is turned off. The shutdown logic is not latched, and should always have a signal applied to it. To help ensure a
fixed logic state, an internal 50-kΩ resistor to DGND is utilized. An external resistor, such as a 3.3 kΩ, to DGND
may be added to help improve noise immunity in harsh environments. If no external resistor is used and SHDNX
pins are left unconnected, the THS6032 defaults to a power-on state. A simplified circuit is shown in Figure 43.

SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
The THS6032 incorporates a shutdown circuit to conserve power. Traditionally, when an amplifier is placed into
shutdown mode, the input and output circuitry are turned off. This conserves a large amount of power, but the
output impedance will be a very high, typically greater than several kΩ. This situation does not maintain proper
line termination, resulting in a severe reduction of the receive signal coming through the transmission line (see
Figure 36).
The THS6032 eliminates this problem. When the SHDNX pin voltage is greater than 2 V, the THS6032 enters
shutdown mode to conserve power. Unlike the traditional amplifier, the THS6032's output impedance is typically
0.5 Ω at 1 MHz (see Figure 28). The shutdown mode function results in the proper termination of the line with no
degradation in performance of the receive signal coming through the transmission line.
There are a few design considerations that must be observed in order to fully achieve this type of functionality.
To better understand these design considerations, it is helpful to examine what is happening inside the
THS6032. Figure 44 shows the simplified shutdown components. Notice that there are two similar input stages;
the normal input stage consisting of transistors Q1 through Q4 and the shutdown input stage consisting of
transistors QS1 through QS4. When in shutdown mode, the I(BIAS – 1) and I(BIAS – 2) current sources are turned off.
This turns off the normal input stage of the amplifier. The I(BIAS – S1) and I(BIAS – S2) current sources are then turned
on. The shutdown input stage signals are then fed through the same internal circuitry which the normal input
stage drove. This allows for sinking and sourcing large amounts of current at the output of the THS6032 during
shutdown operation. The QS1 through QS4 transistors are not designed for performance like the Q1 through Q4
transistors, because their only function is to amplify the DC ground reference, DGND. A 1-kΩ resistor connects
internally to the output node of the amplifier, which provides a feedback loop in shutdown mode. This forces the
output impedance to become very small, allowing proper transmission line termination.

Figure 44. Simplified THS6032 Input Stages
Because the DGND-pin voltage is effectively a noninverting terminal, any signal or voltage fluctuation at this
node is amplified by the THS6032. This could possibly cause a noisy output to appear during shutdown
operation. Figure 45 shows the frequency response of the THS6032 due to an input signal at the DGND terminal.
The maximum DGND voltage signal which the THS6032 will follow linearly during shutdown operation is less
than ±4 V. With this dynamic range capability, it is recommended that the DGND pin be as noise-free as possible
to ensure proper transmission line termination.

The second design consideration is due to transistors Q5 and Q6. These transistors ensure that the +IN to –IN
voltage separation is less than a VBE drop (about 0.7 V). This protects the other transistors, Q1 to Q4, from
saturating during fast transients. Transistors Q5 and Q6 also enhance the slew rate capabilities of the THS6032.
When a fast transient is applied to the input, these transistors quickly apply the currents to the active load stages.
A design issue with this setup is that while in shutdown mode, a large enough signal being applied to the input
pins may turn on these transistors. Once the input voltage differential between the +IN and –IN pins reaches
±0.7-V, transistors Q5 and Q6 turn on, applying the difference signal to the rest of the amplifier circuitry. Because
these two transistors are designed for much higher performance levels than the shutdown circuitry transistors
(QS3 and QS4), they will become dominant and the difference input signal will be utilized instead of the DGND
signal. Because the external negative feedback resistor path is still connected around the amplifier, this
difference input signal will be amplified just like a normal amplifier is designed to do (see Figure 46). As long as
the +IN and –IN input signals are kept below ±0.7 V, the isolation from input-to-output is very high, as shown in
the Shutdown Isolation vs Frequency graphs (see Figure 30 and Figure 31).
To ensure proper shutdown functionality of the THS6032, it is important to keep the DGND voltage noise-free.
Additionally, the +IN and –IN signals should be limited to less than ±0.7 V during shutdown mode. This will
ensure proper line termination functionality while conserving power.

SLEW RATE
The slew rate performance of a current-feedback amplifier like the THS6032 is affected by many different factors.
Some of these factors are external to the device, such as amplifier configuration and PCB parasitics, and others
are internal to the device, such as available currents and node capacitance. Understanding some of these factors
should help the PCB designer arrive at a more optimum circuit with fewer problems.
Whether the THS6032 is used in an inverting amplifier configuration or a noninverting configuration can impact
the output slew rate. Slew rate performance in the inverting configuration is generally faster than the noninverting
configuration. This is because in the inverting configuration the input terminals of the amplifier are at a virtual
ground and do not significantly change voltage as the input changes. Consequently, the time to charge any
capacitance on these input nodes is less than for the noninverting configuration, where the input nodes actually
do change in voltage an amount equal to the size of the input step. In addition, any PCB parasitic capacitance on
the input nodes further degrades the slew rate, simply because there is more capacitance to charge. If the main
supply voltage VCC(H) to the amplifier is reduced, slew rate decreases because there is less current available
within the amplifier to charge the capacitance on the input nodes as well as other internal nodes. Also, as the
load resistance decreases, the slew rate typically decreases due to the increasing internal currents, which slow
down the transitions.
Internally, the THS6032 has other factors that impact the slew rate. The amplifier's behavior during the slew rate
transition varies slightly depending upon the rise time of the input. This is because of the way the input stage
handles faster and faster input edges. Slew rates (as measured at the amplifier output) of less than about 1200
V/μs are processed by the input stage in a very linear fashion. Consequently, the output waveform smoothly
transitions between initial and final voltage levels. For slew rates greater than 1200 V/μs, additional
slew-enhancing transistors present in the input stage (transistors Q5 and Q6 in Figure 44) begin to turn on to
support these faster signals. The result is an amplifier with extremely fast slew rate capabilities. The additional
aberrations present in the output waveform with these faster slewing input signals are due to the brief saturation
of the internal current mirrors. This phenomenon, which typically lasts less than 20 ns, is considered normal
operation and is not detrimental to the device in any way. If for any reason this type of response is not desired,
then increasing the feedback resistor or slowing down the input signal slew rate reduces the effect.

NOISE CALCULATIONS AND NOISE FIGURE
Noise can cause errors on very small signals. This is especially true for the amplifying small signals. The noise
model for current feedback amplifiers (CFB) is the same as voltage feedback amplifiers (VFB). The only
difference between the two is that the CFB amplifiers generally specify different current noise parameters for
each input, while VFB amplifiers usually only specify one noise current parameter. The noise model is shown in
Figure 49. This model includes all of the noise sources as follows:
• en = Amplifier internal voltage noise (nV/√Hz)
• IN+ = Noninverting current noise (pA/√Hz)
• IN– = Inverting current noise (pA/√Hz)
• eRx = Thermal voltage noise associated with each resistor (eRx = 4 kTRx)

As the previous equations show, to keep noise at a minimum, small-value resistors should be used. As the
closed-loop gain is increased (by reducing RG), the input noise is reduced considerably because of the parallel
resistance term. This leads to the general conclusion that the most dominant noise sources are the source
resistor (RS) and the internal-amplifier noise voltage (en). Because noise is summed in a root-mean-squares
method, noise sources smaller than 25% of the largest noise source can be effectively ignored. This can greatly
simplify the formula and make noise calculations much easier.
For more information on noise analysis, refer to Noise Analysis in Operational Amplifier Circuits (SLVA043A).
Another noise measurement usually preferred in RF applications is the noise figure (NF). Noise figure is a
measure of noise degradation caused by the amplifier. The value of the source resistance must be defined, and
is typically 50 Ω in RF applications.

GENERAL CONFIGURATIONS
A common error for the first-time CFB user is to create a unity-gain buffer amplifier by shorting the output directly
to the inverting input. A CFB amplifier in this configuration oscillates, so this is not recommended. The THS6032,
like all CFB amplifiers, must have a feedback resistor for stable operation. Additionally, placing capacitors directly
from the output to the inverting input is not recommended. This is because, at high frequencies, a capacitor has
a very low impedance. This results in an unstable amplifier, and should not be considered when using a
current-feedback amplifier. Because of this, simple low-pass filters, which are easily implemented on a VFB
amplifier, have to be designed slightly differently. If filtering is required, simply place an RC-filter at the
noninverting terminal of the operational-amplifier (see Figure 52).

If a multiple pole filter is required, the use of a Sallen-Key filter can work very well with CFB amplifiers. This is
because the filtering elements are not in the negative feedback loop and stability is not compromised. Because of
their high slew-rates and high bandwidths, CFB amplifiers can create very accurate signals and help minimize
distortion. One implementation of the Sallen-Key filter is shown in Figure 53. For more information on Sallen-Key
filters, refer to the Analysis of the Sallen-Key Architecture (SLOA024A).

Another good use for the THS6032 amplifier is as a video distribution amplifier. One characteristic of distribution
amplifiers is the fact that the differential phase (DP) and the differential gain (DG) are compromised as the
number of lines increases and the closed-loop gain increases. Be sure to use termination resistors throughout
the distribution system to minimize reflections and capacitive loading.

DRIVING A CAPACITIVE LOAD
Driving capacitive loads with high-performance amplifiers is not a problem as long as certain precautions are
taken. The first is to realize that the THS6032 has been internally compensated to maximize its bandwidth and
slew rate performance. When the amplifier is compensated in this manner, capacitive loading directly on the
output will decrease the device's phase margin leading to high frequency ringing or oscillations. Therefore, for
capacitive loads of greater than 10 pF, it is recommended that a resistor be placed in series with the output of
the amplifier, as shown in Figure 55. A minimum value of 10 Ω should work well for most applications. For
example, in ADSL systems, setting the series resistor value to 12.5 Ω both isolates any capacitance loading and
provides the proper line-impedance matching at the source end.
