Single Port, PLC Differential Line Driver
Features
The ISL15102 is a single port differential line driver
developed for Power Line Communication (PLC)
applications. The device is designed to drive heavy line
loads while maintaining a high level of linearity required
in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)
PLC modem links.
• Single differential driver
• Internal VCM
• 90MHz signal bandwidth
• 900V/µs slew rate
The ISL15102 has a disable control pin (DIS). In Disable
mode, the line driver goes into Low Power mode and the
outputs maintain a high impedance in the presence of
high receive signal amplitude, improving TDM receive
signal integrity.
• Single +8V to +28V supply, absolute maximum 30V
• Supports narrowband and broadband DMT PLC
• -86dB THD at 200kHz in to 50Ω line load
• -70dB THD at 3MHz in to 50Ω line load
The ISL15102 has built-in thermal protection. When the
internal temperature reaches +150°C (typical) the driver
shuts down to prevent damage to the device.
• Control pin for enable/disable for TDM operation
• Thermal shutdown
An internal input CM buffer maximizes the dynamic
range and reduces the number of external components in
the application circuit.
Applications
• Power line communication differential driver
The ISL15102 is supplied in a thermally-enhanced small
footprint (4mmx5mm) 24 Ld QFN package. The
ISL15102 is specified for operation across the -40°C to
+85°C operating ambient temperature range.

Notes:
1. Refer to TB347 for details about reel specifications.
2. These Pb-free plastic packaged products employ special Pb-free material sets, molding compounds/die attach materials, and
100% matte tin plate plus anneal (e3 termination finish, which is RoHS compliant and compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free
soldering operations). Pb-free products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free
requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.

Applying Wideband Current Feedback Op Amps as Differential Drivers
A Current Feedback Amplifier (CFA) such as the ISL15102 is particularly suited to the requirements of high output
power, high bandwidth, and differential drivers. This topology offers a high slew rate on low quiescent power and
the ability to hold AC characteristics relatively constant over a wide range of gains. The AC characteristics are
principally set by the feedback resistor (RF) value in simple differential gain circuits as shown in Figure 16.

VO/VI = 10V/V
Figure 16. Passive Termination Circuit
In this differential gain of 10V/V circuit, the 4.22k feedback resistors (RF) set the bandwidth, and the 931 gain
resistor (RG) controls the gain. The VO/VI gain for this circuit is set by Equation 1:
VO
R
4.22kΩ
-------- = 1 + 2 -------F- = 1 + 2 ------------------- = 10.06
VI
931Ω
R G
(EQ. 1)
The effect of increasing or decreasing the feedback resistor value is shown in Figure 8 on page 8. Increasing RF
will tend to roll off the response, while decreasing it will peak the frequency response up, extending the bandwidth.
RG was adjusted in each of these plots to hold a constant gain of 10 (or 20dB). This shows the flexibility offered by
the CFA topology; the frequency response can be controlled with the value of the feedback resistor, RF, with
resistor RG setting the desired gain.
The ISL15102 provides two very power efficient, high output current CFAs. These are intended to be connected as
one differential driver. The “Pin Configuration” on page 2 show that Channels A and B are intended to operate as a
pair. Power-down control is provided through control pin DIS, which sets the power for Channels A and B together.
Very low output distortion at low power can be provided by the differential configuration. The high slew rate
intrinsic to the CFA topology also contributes to the exceptional performance shown in Figure 11 on page 8. This
swept frequency distortion plot shows low distortion at 200kHz holding to very low levels up through 10MHz.
5.2
Input Biasing and Input Impedance
The ISL15102 has internal resistors at the non-inverting inputs for mid-rail biasing, so only external AC coupling
capacitors are required for input biasing, shown in Figure 1 on page 1. With a 100nF coupling capacitor and an
input differential impedance of 6kΩ typical, the first order high-pass cut-off frequency is 530Hz.

Power Control Function
DIS controls the quiescent current for the port constructed from Amplifiers A and B. Taking DIS high (>2V), will
put the device in Power-Down mode, reducing the supply current to typical 0.4mA. Taking DIS low (
