7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The THS6302 is a dual-port, current-feedback architecture, differential line driver designed for G.Fast and xDSL
systems. The device is targeted for use in G.Fast digital subscriber line (DSL) systems that enable native
discrete multitone modulation (DMT) signals and supports an 8-dBm line power up to 212 MHz with good
linearity.
The device consists of a unique architecture consisting of two amplifiers per channel in a noninverting
configuration with an internally-fixed gain of 11 V/V. The THS6302 is designed to drive the high-performance
G.Fast 212-MHz DSL profile, but is also backwards-comparable to drive lower frequency profiles. The device
features selectable bias modes for the G.Fast 106-MHz profile, VDSL profiles, and ADSL profiles. These modes
reduce the quiescent current of the device based on the frequency requirements of the various DSL profiles to
maximize power efficiency. Along with adjustable bias modes, the device features two line-termination modes
that maintain an output impedance match with low power consumption. The line-termination modes allow for the
device to be in a low-power state without causing distortion on a shared signal line.
For further flexibility, the THS6302 features an IREF pin that is used to further adjust the quiescent current of the
device. A resistor connected to this pin can be changed to increase or decrease the device current to meet
performance requirements and uses the lowest amount of power possible.

7.3 Feature Description
The THS6302 is a dual-channel line driver that has a high current drive and a differential input and output
amplifier in each channel. Figure 7-1 shows an example circuit for channel A of the THS6302 configured to drive
the G.Fast 212-MHz DSL profile. The bias control pins (M12 and M11) are set to ground and 3.3 V, respectively,
to put the device in the G.Fast 212-MHz bias mode. This bias optimizes the internal power consumption of the
device to meet performance specifications of the G.Fast 212-MHz profile and can be changed to meet several
different DSL profiles and other modes listed in Table 7-1. The IREF pin is biased with a 75-kΩ (RIREF) resistor
that adjusts the device quiescent current to a nominal state. RIREF can be increased to lower the quiescent
current or deceased to raise the quiescent current of the device for fine-tuning. CIREF provides decoupling for the
IREF pin and is typically 100 pF.
The THS6302 has a 10-kΩ, internally-set differential input impedance and low output impedance. In Figure 7-1
the input impedance is matched to 100 Ω by using a 100-Ω resistor connected differentially across the inputs.
This value can easily be changed by using a different resistor to create the desired impedance at the input.
Remember that the impedance in the device is actually the parallel combination of 10 kΩ and the external input
resistor. For low impedances, this effect is minimal, but must be considered if the matched input impedance is
increased. The output impedance of the THS6302 in Figure 7-1 is set by the two RSERIES resistors to match
100 Ω. The internal output resistance is very low (< 2 Ω per output), so the output impedance is primarily set by
the RSERIES resistors. These resistors can be adjusted to match various output impedance values.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
The THS6302 features nine different device operational modes to accommodate the G.Fast, xDSL, line
termination, and power-down scenarios, as listed in Table 7-1. Each channel of the device is controlled by a 2pin parallel interface that uses three-level logic to control the device state. The G.Fast and xDSL modes change
the quiescent current of the device to meet signal performance requirements and maintain the lowest power
possible, which allows for legacy DSL compatibility with maximum power efficiency. The two line-termination
modes maintain a low impedance at the output when placing the device in a low-power state. The linetermination modes allow for the muxing of multiple devices to one output line by putting the non-driving devices
in a state that does not add distortion to the line. A power-down mode is also included to digitally shut down the
device for the highest level of power savings. Table 7-1 lists the device power modes and the typical quiescent
currents for each mode.

7.5 Programming
The THS6302 programming is controlled by two pins for each channel. These pins use three-level logic to create
nine different combinations for each pair of pins. The pins have a high state (1) when the pin voltage is greater
than 2.3 V, a low state (0) when the pin voltage is less than 0.6 V, and an open state (Z) where the pin floats at
approximately 1.4 V or can be driven between 1.2 V and 1.6 V. The pins are labeled Mxy where x is the channel
number that the pin is associated with and y is the pin number. Table 7-1 shows the logic combinations for the
two pins and the corresponding power modes.

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, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
THS6302 is a dual-port, very-high-bit-rate linear xDSL, G.Fast, and G.mgFast differential line driver where the
device drives a twisted pair cable. The signal is typically generated by a DAC in the DSL ASIC at low signal
swings that is amplified by the G.Fast line driver.
The G.Fast system is ac-coupled when transmitting information above the audio band. On the input of the line
driver, this ac-coupling translates into the series capacitors to isolate the dc voltage coming from the DAC output
common-mode voltage. On the output, a transformer is used to help isolate the 48 V present between the tip and
ring of the telephone line.
The transformer can be set to any useful ratio. In practice, the transformer-turn ratio is set between 1:1 and 1:1.4
for the device. Synthetic impedance at the output of the line driver is common in many xDSL applications.
However, to support high AC performance needed for typical G.Fast and G.mgFast applications, THS6302 is an
internally fixed-gain device and often synthetic impedance configuration is not recommeded to maintain the AC
performance.
Note: the resulting load detected by the amplifier may affect the amplifier linearity or output voltage swing
capabilities.
8.2 Typical Application
Figure 8-1 shows a typical application circuit for THS6302. Only one channel circuit of THS6302 is shown; the

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The G.Fast signal input to the THS6302 comes from a high-speed DAC in the DSL ASIC whose interleaving
spurs are filtered out using either a 3rd- or 5th-order filter. Digital pre-emphasis can be employed in the DAC
output such that the differential line driver compensates for the transmission line cable losses at long distance
and high frequency. The THS6302 is operated on a 12-V single supply. Resulting from the single-supply
operation, the device input is AC-coupled using a capacitor that blocks any DC current flowing out of the inputs
to the adjacent circuitry. The AC-coupling capacitor forms a high-pass filter with the device input impedance.
This pole must be set at a frequency low enough to not interfere with the desired xDSL or G.Fast signal.
The THS6302 differential outputs usually drive a 1:n output transformer with a transformer turns ratio that can be
changed depending upon the application. The output transformer selected must have low insertion loss in the
desired frequency band in order to maintain good multi-tone power rejection (MTPR) for a given line power. The
load is expected to be a transmission line with 100-Ω characteristic impedance on the primary side (line load
side) of the transformer. Referred to the transformer secondary, the load seen by the amplifier is 1/n2 with 1:n
being the transformer turn ratio. Practical limitations force the transformer-turn ratio to be between 1:1 and 1:1.6.
At the lighter load seen by the amplifier (1:1), the voltage swing is limited by the class AB output stage and the
maximum achievable swing of the amplifier. At the heaviest load (1:1.6), the voltage swing is limited by the
current drive capability of the amplifier.
For surge protection, consider adding a gas discharge tube (GDT) on the primary side of the output transformer.
The gas discharge tube is required to shunt the large current that could flow through the cables during lightning
surge, and protect the device outputs. The secondary protection is also normally added after the series
resistance on the secondary transformer side. The secondary protection could be in the form of back to back
switching diodes, which also help limit the residual surge current flowing into the device outputs.
For the power-supply bypass, consider using X7R or X5R because of the better stability of these materials over
temperature.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The THS6302 is recommended to operate using a total supply voltage of 12 V. If a lower or higher supply
voltage is required, select one that is between 11.4 V and 12.6 V for optimal performance. Use supply
decoupling capacitors on the power-supply pins to minimize distortion caused by parasitic signals on the power
supply. This usage is especially important in applications where many devices share a single power-supply bus.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Achieving optimum performance with a high-frequency amplifier such as the THS6302 requires careful attention
to board layout parasitics and external component types. Recommendations that optimize performance include:
1. Minimize parasitic capacitance to any ac ground for all signal I/O pins. Excessive parasitic capacitance on the
input pin can cause instability. In the line driver application, the parasitic capacitance forms a pole with the
load detected by the amplifier and can reduce the effective bandwidth of the application circuit, thus leading
to degraded performance. To reduce unwanted capacitance, open a window around the signal I/O pins in all
ground and power planes around those pins. Otherwise, make sure that ground and power planes are
unbroken elsewhere on the board.
2. Minimize the distance (< 0.25 in.) from the power-supply pins to high-frequency 0.1-µF decoupling capacitors.
At the device pins, make sure that the ground and power-plane layout are not in close proximity to the signal
I/O pins. Avoid narrow power and ground traces to minimize inductance between the pins and decoupling
capacitors. Always decouple the power-supply connections with these capacitors.
3. Careful selection and placement of external components preserves the high-frequency performance of the
device. Use very-low reactance-type resistors. Surface-mount resistors function best and allow a tighter
overall layout. Metal-film or carbon composition, axially-leaded resistors also provide good high-frequency
performance. Again, keep the leads and printed circuit board traces as short as possible. Never use wirewound type resistors in a high-frequency application.
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. Use relatively wide traces (50 mils to 100 mils), preferably with ground and power
planes opened up around them.
5. Do not socket a high-speed part such as the THS6302. The additional lead length and pin-to-pin capacitance
introduced by the socket can create an extremely troublesome parasitic network that makes achieving a
smooth, stable frequency response almost impossible. Best results are obtained by soldering the device onto
the board.
