PRELIMINARY
MIMO/SISO Differential Line Driver
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CG1110 is a high-performance MIMO/SISO dual port
differential line driver designed to work in broadband PLC
system. It contains two pairs of wideband, high-voltage,
current mode feedback amplifiers.
The line driver can operate on single supply from +10V to
+13.2V and retains its bandwidth and linearity over the
complete full-scale supply range.
The supply current can be set using a resistor on the
IBIAS pin. The device has two separate disable control
pins (ENB_AB and ENB_CD) for each differential
amplifier to allow TDM operation. These logic pins are
internally pulled high, so floating these inputs will put the
device in shut down mode.
An internal input VCM generator maximizes the dynamic
range and reduces the number of PCB components in the
application circuit.
The device has built-in reliable thermal shut-down
protection circuit and will be forced into shut-down mode
typically when the internal junction temperature reaches
+165°C.

Application Information
The CG1110 is a differential line driver designed for PLC line driver application. The core architecture comprises dualpairs (four CFAs) high speed current feedback amplifiers.
4.1
Typical Applications
Typical Application and Test Circuit
4.2
Input Common Mode Voltage
The analog inputs of the CG1110 are internally dc biased to VCM=VCC/2 and therefore input pins to CG1110
must be AC coupled using serial 0.1µF ceramic capacitors.
4.3
Bias Current Control
The CG1110 is designed with a biasing current adjustment that lowers the quiescent operating current using
an off-chip resistor (RIBIAS) that must be placed between IBIAS pin and GND. Using a resistor larger than 0Ω can
reduce the quiescent current of the line driver and improve efficiency. To ensure optimized performance, it is
recommended to connect the IBIAS pin to ground.
4.4
Operation State Control
ENB_AB and ENB_CD pins are used as logic inputs to control the line driver operating states. These logic
pins are designed to pull high initially, so floating these inputs will put the device in power down mode.

4.5
Thermal Shutdown
The device has thermal shutdown circuitry that protects the amplifier from damage. The thermal protection
circuitry disables the device when the junction temperature reaches approximately 165°C and forces the device to
cool. When the junction temperature cools to approximately 140°C, the device is automatically re-enabled.

Power Dissipation and Thermal Resistance
In order to avoid performance degeneration and device damage, the junction temperature of the device is not
allowed to be higher than 150°C for long time. The junction temperature given the ambient temperature is:

PCB Design Guidelines
4.7.1
Input Considerations:
It is recommended to keep PCB trace length as short as possible and minimize the input parasitic capacitance
as much as possible to avoid any ringing or oscillation.
4.7.2
Output Considerations:
The line driver has internal simple current limit protection mechanism but using 3.9Ω series output termination
resistors is still recommended to limit output short current. To avoid DC current flow between the two outputs, the AC
coupling capacitors are needed in series with the output.
Minimize parasitic capacitance to any ground and power plane for output pins and traces to prevent oscillation.
TVS diodes connected to VCC and GND should be used to absorb the transient energy and clamp the
transient voltages of the line driver outputs. To maintain stability, the capacitance of these diodes should be less than
150pF.
4.7.3
IBIAS Considerations:
The bias resistor RIBIAS connected to the IBIAS pin must be routed far away from the components of the signal
input network in order to avoid any high frequency signal coupling into the IBIAS pin.
4.7.4
Thermal pad Considerations:
The thermal pad, EPAD, must be soldered to the PCB pad and enough vias need to be used connecting to
the bottom plane to dissipate heat out of the package.
4.7.5
Power Supply
Use 10µF and 0.1µF paralleling decoupling capacitors between power supply and ground. These decoupling
capacitors must be close to the power supply pins; minimizing the distance from the pins to high frequency 0.1μF
decoupling capacitors.
