THS6222 8 V to 32 V, Differential HPLC Line Driver with Common-Mode Buffer
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
•
•
The THS6222 is a differential line-driver amplifier
with a current-feedback architecture manufactured
using Texas Instruments' proprietary, high-speed,
silicon-germanium (SiGe) process. The device is
targeted for use in broadband, high-speed, power line
communications (HPLC) line driver applications that
require high linearity when driving heavy line loads.
•
•
•
•
•
Supply range (VS): 8 V to 32 V
Integrated midsupply common-mode buffer
Large-signal bandwidth: 195 MHz (VO = 16 VPP)
Slew rate (16 V step): 5500 V/µs
Low distortion (VS = 12 V, 50 Ω load):
– HD2: –80 dBc (1 MHz)
– HD3: –90 dBc (1 MHz)
Output current: 338 mA (VS = 12 V, 25 Ω load)
Wide output swing (VS = 12 V):
– 19.4 VPP (100 Ω load)
– 18.6 VPP (50 Ω load)
Adjustable power modes:
– Full-bias mode: 19.5 mA
– Mid-bias mode: 15 mA
– Low-bias mode: 10.4 mA
– Low-power shutdown mode
– IADJ pin for variable bias
Integrated overtemperature protection
Pin-compatible with the 24-pin THS6212 VQFN
The unique architecture of the THS6222 uses minimal
quiescent current while achieving very high linearity.
The amplifier has an adjustable current pin (IADJ)
that sets the nominal current consumption along with
the multiple bias modes that allow for enhanced
power savings where the full performance of the
amplifier is not required. Shutdown bias mode
provides further power savings during receive mode
in time division multiplexed (TDM) systems while
maintaining high output impedance. The integrated
midsupply common-mode buffer eliminates external
components, reducing system cost and board space.
2 Applications
•
•
•
•
•
•
The wide output swing of 57 VPP (100 Ω load) with
32-V power supplies, coupled with over 650 mA
current drive (25 Ω load), allows for wide dynamic
range that keeps distortion minimal.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Rating may cause permanent device damage. These are stress ratings only,
which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Condition. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Refer to Breakdown Supply Voltage for breakdown test results.
The absolute maximum junction temperature for continuous operation is limited by the package constraints. Operation above this
temperature can result in reduced reliability or lifetime of the device. THS6222 has thermal protection that shuts down the device at
approximately 175°C junction temperature and recovery at approximately 145°C.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The THS6222 is a differential line-driver amplifier with a current-feedback architecture. The device is targeted for
use in line-driver applications such as narrow-band and broadband power-line communications (PLC) that are
often found in smart metering and home networking applications.
The THS6222 is designed as a single-port differential line driver solution that can be a drop-in replacement for
the THS6212. The integrated common-mode buffer featured in the THS6222 reduces the number of external
components required for level shifting the input common-mode voltage in PLC applications that are often ac
coupled, resulting in space savings on the circuit board and reducing the overall system cost. The THS6222
uses an architecture that does not allow using the two current-feedback amplifiers, D1 and D2, independently;
therefore, these amplifiers must always be driven differentially.
The architecture of the THS6222 is designed to provide maximum flexibility with adjustable power modes that
are selectable based on application performance requirements, and also provides an external current adjustment
pin (IADJ) to further optimize the quiescent power of the device. The wide output swing (18.6 VPP) into 50-Ω
differential loads with 12-V power supplies and high current drive of the THS6222 make the device ideally suited
for high-power, line-driving applications. By using 32-V power supplies and with good thermal design that keep
the device within the safe operating temperature, the THS6222 is capable of swinging 57 VPP into 100-Ω loads.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Common-Mode Buffer
The THS6222 is a differential line driver that features an integrated common-mode buffer. Most common line
driving applications for the THS6222 are ac-coupled applications; see Figure 8-2. Therefore, the inputs must be
common-mode shifted to ensure the input signals are within the common-mode specifications of the device. To
maximize the dynamic range, the common-mode voltage is shifted to midsupply in most ac-coupled applications.
With the integrated common-mode buffer, no external components are required to shift the input common-mode
voltage. Often, engineers choose to connect a noise-decoupling capacitor to the VCM pin. However, as shown
in Figure 7-1, assuming the circuit is reasonably shielded from external noise sources, no difference in commonmode noise is observed with the 100 nF capacitor or without the capacitor.

Figure 7-1. Common-Mode Voltage Noise Density vs Frequency
There are ESD protection diodes in series directly at the output of the common-mode buffer between the internal
520 Ω resistor and the common-mode buffer output. These diodes are referenced to midsupply. Any voltage that
is 1.4 V above or below the midsupply applied to the VCM pin forward biases the protection diodes. This biasing
results in either current flowing into or out of the VCM pin. The current is limited by the 520 Ω resistor in series,
but to prevent permanent damage to the device, the current must be limited to the current specifications in the
Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
7.3.2 Thermal Protection and Package Power Dissipation
The THS6222 is designed with thermal protection that automatically puts the device in shutdown mode when
the junction temperature reaches approximately 175°C. In this mode, the device behavior is the same as if
the bias pins are used to power-down the device. The device resumes normal operation when the junction
temperature reaches approximately 145°C. In general, the thermal shutdown condition must be avoided. If and
when the thermal protection triggers, thermal cycling occurs where the device repeatedly goes in and out of
thermal shutdown until the junction temperature stabilizes to a value that prevents thermal shutdown.
A common technique to calculate the maximum power dissipation that a device can withstand is by using the
junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA), provided in the Thermal Information table. Using the equation
power dissipation = (junction temperature, TJ – ambient temperature, TA) / RθJA, the amount of power a package
can dissipate can be estimated. Figure 7-2 illustrates the package power dissipation based on this equation to
reach junction temperatures of 125°C and 150°C at various ambient temperatures. The RθJA value is determined
using industry standard JEDEC specifications and allows ease of comparing various packages. Power greater
than that in Figure 7-2 can be dissipated in a package by good printed circuit board (PCB) thermal design, using
heat sinks, and or active cooling techniques. See the Thermal Design By Insight, Not Hindsight application report
for an in-depth discussion on thermal design.

7.3.3 Output Voltage and Current Drive
The THS6222 provides output voltage and current capabilities that are unsurpassed in a low-cost, monolithic op
amp. Under no load at room temperature, the output voltage typically swings closer than 1.1 V to either supply
rail and typically swings to within 1.1 V of either supply with a 100 Ω differential load. The THS6222 can deliver
over 350 mA of current with a 25 Ω load.

Single-Ended Output Voltage (V)
Single-Ended Output Voltage (V)
Good thermal design of the system is important, including use of heat sinks and active cooling methods, if
the THS6222 is pushed to the limits of its output drive capabilities. Figure 7-3 and Figure 7-4 show the output
drive of the THS6222 under two different sets of conditions where TA is approximately equal to TJ. In practical
applications, TJ is often much higher than TA and is highly dependent on the device configuration, signal
parameters, and PCB thermal design. In order to represent the full output drive capability of the THS6222 in
Figure 7-3 and Figure 7-4, TJ ≈ TA is achieved by pulsing or sweeping the output current for a duration of less
than 100 ms.

In Figure 7-3, the output voltages are differentially slammed to the rail and the output current is single-endedly
sourced or sunk using a source measure unit (SMU) for less than 100 ms. The single-ended output voltage of
each output is then measured prior to removing the load current. After removing the load current, the outputs are
brought back to mid-supply before repeating the measurement for different load currents. This entire process is
repeated for each ambient temperature. Under the slammed output voltage condition of Figure 7-3, the output

transistors are in saturation and the transistors start going into linear operation as the output swing is backed off
for a given IO,
In Figure 7-4, the inputs are floated and the output voltages are allowed to settle to the mid-supply voltage.
The load current is then single-endedly swept for sourcing (greater than 0 mA) and sinking (less than 0 mA)
conditions and the single-ended output voltage is measured at each current-forcing condition. The current sweep
is completed in a few seconds (approximately 3 to 4 seconds) so as not to significantly raise the junction
temperature (TJ) of the device from the ambient temperature (TA). The output is not swinging and the output
transistors are in linear operation in Figure 7-4 until the current drawn exceeds the device capabilities, at which
point the output voltage starts to deviate quickly from the no load output voltage.
To maintain maximum output stage linearity, output short-circuit protection is not provided. This absence of
short-circuit protection is normally not a problem because most applications include a series-matching resistor
at the output that limits the internal power dissipation if the output side of this resistor is shorted to ground.
However, shorting the output pin directly to the adjacent positive power-supply pin, in most cases, permanently
damages the amplifier.
7.3.4 Breakdown Supply Voltage
To estimate the margin beyond the maximum supply voltage specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table
and exercise the robustness of the device, several typical units were tested beyond the specifications in the
Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Figure 7-5 shows the configuration used for the test. The supply voltage,
VS, was swept manually and quiescent current was recorded at each 0.5-V supply voltage increment. Figure
7-6 shows the results of the single-supply voltage where the typical units started breaking. Under a similar
configuration as the one shown in Figure 7-5, a unit was subjected to VS = 42 V for 168 hours and tested
for quiescent current at the beginning and at the end of the test. There was no notable difference in the
quiescent current before and after the 168 hours of testing and the device did not show any signs of damage or
abnormality.
The primary objective of these tests was to estimate the margins of robustness for typical devices and
does not imply performance or maximum limits beyond those specified in the Abolute Maximum Ratings and
Recommended Operating Conditions tables.

7.3.5 Surge Test Results
Line drivers such as the THS6222 often directly interface with power lines through a transformer and various
protection components in high-speed power line communications (HPLC) smart-meters and digital subscriber
line (DSL) applications. Surge testing is an important requirement for such applications. To validate the
performance and surge survivability of the THS6222, the THS6222 circuit configuration shown in Figure 7-7
was subjected to a ±4 kV common-mode surge and a ±2 kV differential-mode surge. The common-mode and
differential-mode surge voltages were applied at VCM and V DIFF, respectively, in Figure 7-7. The 1.2/50 µs surge
profile was used per the IEC 61000-4-5 test with REQ = 42 Ω as explained in the TI's IEC 61000-4-x Tests and
Procedures application report. Five devices were tested in full-bias and shutdown modes, and were subjected to
the surge five times for each polarity. No device showed any discernable change in quiescent current after being
subjected to the surge test, and the out-of-band suppression tests did not show any performance deterioration
either, as shown in Figure 7-8 through Figure 7-11 for the state grid corporation of China (SGCC) HPLC bands.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
The THS6222 has four different functional modes set by the BIAS-1 and BIAS-2 pins. Table 7-1 shows the truth
table for the device mode pin configuration and the associated description of each mode.

If the PLC application requires switching the line driver between all four power modes and if the PLC applicationspecific integrated circuit (ASIC) has two control bits, then the two control bits can be connected to the bias pins
BIAS-1 and BIAS-2 for switching between any of the four power modes. However, most PLC applications only
require the line driver to switch between one of the three active power modes and the shutdown mode. This
type of 1-bit power mode control is illustrated in Figure 8-1, where the line driver can be switched between the
full-bias and shutdown modes using just one control bit from the PLC ASIC. If switching between the mid-bias or
low-bias modes and the shutdown mode is required for the application, then either the BIAS-1 or BIAS-2 pin can
be connected to ground and the control pin from the PLC ASIC can be connected to the non-grounded BIAS pin.

8 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.
8.1 Application Information
The THS6222 is typically used for high output power line-driving applications with various load conditions, as is
often the case in power line communications (PLC) applications. In the Typical Applications section, the amplifier
is presented in a typical, broadband, current-feedback configuration driving a 50 Ω line load. However, the
amplifier is also applicable for many different general-purpose and specific line-driving applications beyond what
is shown in the Typical Applications section.
8.2 Typical Applications
8.2.1 Broadband PLC Line Driving
The THS6222 provides the exceptional ac performance of a wideband current-feedback op amp with a highly
linear, high-power output stage. The low output headroom requirement and high output current drive capability
makes the THS6222 an excellent choice for 12 V PLC applications. The primary advantage of a currentfeedback op amp such as the THS6222 over a voltage-feedback op amp is that the ac performance (bandwidth
and distortion) is relatively independent of signal gain. Figure 8-1 shows a typical ac-coupled broadband
PLC application circuit where a current-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) of the PLC application-specific
integrated circuit (ASIC) drives the inputs of the THS6222. Though Figure 8-1 shows the THS6222 interfacing
with a current-output DAC, the THS6222 can just as easily be interfaced with a voltage-output DAC by using
much larger terminating resistors, RT1 and RT2.

8.2.1.1 Design Requirements
The main design requirements for an ac-coupled wideband current-feedback operation are to choose power
supplies that satisfy the output voltage requirement, and also to use a feedback resistor value that allows for
the proper bandwidth while maintaining stability. Use the design requirements shown in Table 8-1 to design a
broadband PLC application circuit.

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The closed-loop gain equation for a differential line driver such as the THS6222 is given as AV = 1 + 2 ×
(RF / RG), where RF = RF1 = RF2. The THS6222 is a current-feedback amplifier and thus the bandwidth of
the closed-loop configuration is set by the value of the RF resistor. This advantage of the current-feedback
architecture allows for flexibility in setting the differential gain by choosing the value of the RG resistor without
reducing the bandwidth as is the case with voltage-feedback amplifiers. The THS6222 is designed to provide
optimal bandwidth performance with RF1 = RF2 = 1.24 kΩ. To configure the device in a gain of 10 V/V, the RG
resistor is chosen to be 274 Ω. See the TI Precision Labs for more details on how to choose the RF resistor to
optimize the performance of a current-feedback amplifier.
Often, a key requirement for PLC applications is the out-of-band suppression specifications. The in-band
frequencies carry the encoded data with a certain power level. The line driver must not generate any spurs
beyond a certain power level outside the in-band spectrum. In the design requirements of this application
example, the minimum out-of-band suppression specification of 35 dB means there must be no frequency spurs
in the out-of-band spectrum beyond the –80 dBm/Hz power spectral density, considering the in-band power
spectral density is –50 dBm/Hz.
The circuit shown in Figure 8-2 measures the out-of-band suppression specification. The minor difference in
components between the circuits of Figure 8-1 and Figure 8-2 does not have any significant impact on the
out-of-band suppression results.

is a good indicator of the linearity performance of the device. The results in Figure 8-3 show over 40 dB of
out-of-band suppression, which is well beyond the 35 dB requirement and indicative of the excellent linearity
performance of the THS6222.

8.3 What to Do and What Not to Do
8.3.1 Do
•
•
•
•
•
Include a thermal design at the beginning of the project.
Use well-terminated transmission lines for all signals.
Use solid metal layers for the power supplies.
Keep signal lines as straight as possible.
Keep the traces carrying differential signals of the same length.
8.3.2 Do Not
•
•
•
Do not use a lower supply voltage than necessary.
Do not use thin metal traces to supply power.
Do not treat the D1 and D2 amplifiers as independent single-ended amplifiers.
9 Power Supply Recommendations
The THS6222 supports single-supply and split-supply power supplies, and balanced and unbalanced bipolar
supplies. The device has a wide supply range of 8 V (–3 V to +5 V) to 32 V (±16 V). Choose power-supply
voltages that allow for adequate swing on both the inputs and outputs of the amplifier to prevent affecting
device performance. Operating from a single supply can have numerous advantages. With the negative supply
at ground, the errors resulting from the –PSRR term can be minimized. The DGND pin provides the ground
reference for the bias control pins. For applications that use split bipolar supplies, care must be taken to design
within the DGND voltage specifications and must be within VS– to (VS+ – 5 V); the DGND pin must be a
minimum bias of 5 V. Thus, the minimum positive supply that can be used in split-supply applications is VS+ =
5 V. The negative supply, VS–, can then be set to a voltage anywhere in between –3 V and –27 V, as per the
Recommended Operating Conditions specifications.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Achieving optimum performance with a high-frequency amplifier such as the THS6222 requires careful attention
to board layout parasitic and external component types. The THS6222RHFEVM can be used as a reference
when designing the circuit board. Recommendations that optimize performance include:
1. Minimize parasitic capacitance to any ac ground for all signal I/O pins. Parasitic capacitance, particularly
on the output and inverting input pins, can cause instability; on the noninverting input, this capacitance can
react with the source impedance to cause unintentional band limiting. To reduce unwanted capacitance,
a window around the signal I/O pins must be opened in all ground and power planes around these pins.
Otherwise, ground and power planes must be unbroken elsewhere on the board.
2. Minimize the distance (less than 0.25 in, or 6.35 mm) from the power-supply pins to high-frequency 0.1 µF
decoupling capacitors. At the device pins, the ground and power plane layout must not be in close proximity
to the signal I/O pins. Avoid narrow power and ground traces to minimize inductance between the pins and
the decoupling capacitors. The power-supply connections must always be decoupled with these capacitors.
An optional supply decoupling capacitor across the two power supplies (for bipolar operation) improves
second-harmonic distortion performance. Larger (2.2 µF to 6.8 µF) decoupling capacitors, effective at lower
frequencies, must also be used on the main supply pins. These capacitors can be placed somewhat farther
from the device and can be shared among several devices in the same area of the PCB.
3. Careful selection and placement of external components preserves the high-frequency performance of the
THS6222. Resistors must be of a very low reactance type. Surface-mount resistors work best and allow
a tighter overall layout. Metal film and carbon composition, axially-leaded resistors can also provide good
high-frequency performance.
Again, keep leads and PCB trace length as short as possible. Never use wire-wound type resistors in a
high-frequency application. Although the output pin and inverting input pin are the most sensitive to parasitic
capacitance, always position the feedback and series output resistor, if any, as close as possible to the
output pin. Other network components, such as noninverting input termination resistors, must also be placed
close to the package. Where double-side component mounting is required, place the feedback resistor
directly under the package on the other side of the board between the output and inverting input pins. The
frequency response is primarily determined by the feedback resistor value, as described in the Boradband
PLC Line Driving section. Increasing the value reduces the bandwidth, whereas decreasing the value leads
to a more peaked frequency response. The 1.24 kΩ feedback resistor used in the Typical Characteristics: Vs
= 12 V is a good starting point for a gain of 10 V/V design.
4. Connections to other wideband devices on the board can be made with short direct traces or through
onboard transmission lines. For short connections, consider the trace and the input to the next device as
a lumped capacitive load. Relatively wide traces (50-mils to 100-mils, 0.050-in to 0.100-In, or 1.27-mm to
2.54-mm) must be used, preferably with ground and power planes opened up around them.
5. Socketing a high-speed part such as the THS6222 is not recommended. The additional lead length and
pin-to-pin capacitance introduced by the socket can create an extremely troublesome parasitic network, and
can make achieving a smooth, stable frequency response almost impossible. Best results are obtained by
soldering the THS6222 directly onto the board.
6. Use the VS– plane to conduct the heat out of the package. The package attaches the die directly to an
exposed thermal pad on the bottom, and must be soldered to the board. This pad must be connected
electrically to the same voltage plane as the most negative supply voltage (VS–) applied to the THS6222.
Place as many vias as possible on the thermal pad connection and connect the vias to a heat spreading
plane that is at the same potential as VS– on the bottom side of the PCB.
