Both models exhibit low noise and distortion, high slew rate, stability under difficult loads, wide output swing, and have outputs which are short-circuit protected. In addition both models incorporate patented OutSmartsO technology, a dual feedback-loop design that prevents the excessive ground currents typical of cross-coupled output stages (CCOS) when clipping into single-ended loads1. To overcome this problem, the THAT 1420 and 1430 use two individual negative-feedback loops to separately control the differential output voltage and common mode output currents, making the design inherently more stable and less sensitive to component tolerances than the CCOS. Most importantly, the dual-feedback design prevents the loss of common-mode feedback that plagues the CCOS designs, avoiding the excessive ground currents and overly-distorted output waveform that can result when driving single-ended loads. Where minimum output offset voltage with minimum parts count is desired, the THAT 1430 further improves over existing designs. In conventional CCOS circuits, two relatively high-value electrolytic capacitors are required to reduce the offset voltage. By contrast, the THAT 1430 topology requires only a resistor and a single film or ceramic capacitor to achieve the same effect at lower parts count and price.

OutSmarts topology employs two negative-feedback loops -- one to control the differential signal, and a separate loop to control the common mode output levels. Figures 2 and 3 show the gain core common to both the THAT 1420 and 1430. The gain core is a single amplifier that includes two differential input pairs, Cin+/- and Din+/-, and complementary outputs, Vout+ and Vout-, related to each other by two gain expressions, AD(s) and AC(s). The first pair of differential inputs, Din+/-, are connected to the differential feedback network between the outputs and the input signal. The second differential input pair, Cin+/-, is connected to a bridge circuit which generates an error signal that is used to servo the common-mode behavior of the outputs. The loop equations are then, DOUT + - DOUT - = D DOUT = AD ( DIN + - DIN - ) where AD is the differential open-loop gain, and DOUT + + DOUT - = a DOUT = AC( CIN + - CIN - ) where AC is the common-mode open-loop gain.

THAT 1430 Equivalent Circuit Diagram These equations can be solved much like standard op-amp loop equations, and for the differential case, we can see that (using superposition) resistor feedback results in DIN + = (13 DOUT - + DIN - = 1 3 DOUT + 2 3 In+ ) tached load, and in any event doesn't yield much insight into the device's operation. In op-amp analysis or in the above derivation, the combination of negative feedback and high open-loop gain results in the open-loop gain "dropping out" of the equation, and the differential inputs being forced to the same potential. If we start with that assumption, we can intuitively discern the operation of the common-mode feedback loop as follows: Referring again to Figures 2 and 3, the common-mode input actually senses the sum of the IC's output currents by way of two 50 ohm resistors and the bridge network (the 10pF capacitor simply limits the maximum frequency at which this action occurs). The resulting error signal is amplified and then summed into both outputs, with the net effect being to force the sum of the currents to be zero, and thus the common mode output current to zero. Since this is negative feedback, the common-mode loop can raise the effective output impedance at audio frequencies without the side effects of circuits that use positive feedback to implement this function. and Substituting and simplifying into the equation that defines differential operation yields D DOUT = - DD AD ( 3OUT + 2 3 In+ ) Dividing through by AD (assuming that AD >> 3) and simplifying yields D DOUT = 2 ( In+ ) as one would expect for a +6dB line driver. The derivation for the common mode equation is more complicated1 in that it is dependent on the at- THAT Corporation; 45 Sumner Street; Milford, Massachusetts 01757-1656; USA Tel: +1 (508) 478-9200; Fax: +1 (508) 478-0990; Web: www.thatcorp.com Rev. 4/24/01 Preliminary Information Page 5 VCC VCC C4 100n 6 In 4 Vcc 8 In Sens+ Out+ 3 OutGnd Sens1 Vee U1 2 THAT1420 5 7 C6 100n 2 7 InVcc 6 Out Out Ref Vee 1 3 In+ U2 4 THAT1243 or equiv.

A quiet, solid ground reference, stiff voltage supplies, and adequate supply bypassing are all that is required to achieve excellent performance out of both ICs. Both devices are stable into any capacitive load, and the maximum capacitance is limited only by slew rate and frequency response considerations. itance. The corner frequency of the THAT 1420/1430 driving 500 ft of this cable will be fC = 1 2p 100 W500 ( 30 pF ft + 25 pF ft + 25 pF ft) 40kHz One must also consider the slew rate limitations posed by excessive cable and other capacitances. We know that i = C dV dt and that dV dt For the purposes of the frequency response calculation, the line driver's 50W sense resistors can be lumped into a single 100W resistor. The correct cable capacitance to use is the sum of the inter-conductor capacitance and the two conductor-to-shield capacitances. Unfortunately, some manufacturers only specify the inter-conductor capacitance and the capacitance of one conductor to the other while connected to the shield, and some extraction may be required. = VPeak 2p f As an example, one manufacturer supplies a shielded, twisted pair with 30pF/ft of inter-conductor capacitance and 25pF/ft of conductor to shield capac4. Copyright a 1991 Rane Corporation Rane Corporation has published a document titled 4 RaneNote 126 , which specifies some of the requirements for a balanced line driver, including a) stablility into reactive loads, b) output voltage swing of at least 11 volts peak (+20dBu), and c) reliability. This document also suggests a reasonable rule by which to calculate the output current requirements at 20kHz.

Basic THAT 1430 application circuit with output common mode offset reduction tual worst case peak level for various types of music and speech will be flat out to 5kHz, and roll off at 6dB/octave above this frequency. Thus the peak levels at 20kHz will be 12dB below those at 5kHz. Using these, we can calculate the required slew rate and current drive. Since both outputs can swing 11V, the VPeak is actually 22V (below 5kHz), and at 20kHz, VPeak is 5.5V. Therefore, dV dt V = 2p 5.5V 20kHz = 0.69 ms sense inputs. The outputs are also DC coupled to the line receiver. If large common mode voltages are expected, the designer may choose to incorporate large, non-polarized capacitors to isolate the THAT 1420's outputs. Figure 5 shows the basic THAT 1430 applications circuit. This circuit includes external components for common mode offset reduction. This IC is specially designed to allow common mode offset reduction with only a small resistor and capacitor, and is ideal for new designs where space is at a premium. Other considerations that apply to the THAT 1420 apply to the THAT 1430. Figure 6 shows a THAT 1420 with common mode offset reduction, RFI protection and surge protection, but these last two additions could be added to the THAT 1430 as well. One should also note that the THAT 1420 is pin-for-pin compatible with industry standard line drivers. These line drivers can easily drive cables hundreds of feet in length without becoming unstable, but attaching such a long cable can act as an antenna (even for AM stations) which can pick up RFI and direct it into the circuit. C3 and C8 are 100pF capaci- As a consequence, i = 500 ft (30 pF ft + 25 pF ft + 25 pF ) ft V 0.69 ms 28mA Thus, driving this 40nF cable requires 28mAPeak (well within the 1420/1403's capabilities). Figure 4 shows the most basic connection between the THAT 1420 and a typical line receiver (like the THAT 1243). The only external components that are absolutely required are the local 100nF bypass capacitors, and these could, in fact, be shared with another nearby component. There are no common mode output offset reduction capacitors, and the line driver's outputs are connected directly to their respective THAT Corporation; 45 Sumner Street; Milford, Massachusetts 01757-1656; USA Tel: +1 (508) 478-9200; Fax: +1 (508) 478-0990; Web: www.thatcorp.com Rev. 4/24/01 Preliminary Information Page 7 VCC C1 C4 100n 6 10u 7 D3 SB160 D4 SB160 In Vcc 8 In Sens+ Out+ Out3 Gnd 1 SensU1 Vee 2 THAT1420 5 C2 4 C5 100n VEE 10u L1 Ferrite Bead L2 Ferrite Bead C3 100p Out Hi C8 100p D5 SB160 Out Lo D6 SB160 Figure 6. 1420 with output common mode offset protection, RFI protection, and surge protection tors whose purpose is to redirect this RF energy to the chassis before it can circulate and effectively form a single loop transformer that magnetically couples RF into the remainder of the circuit. Ferrite beads are also included to ensure that RFI current is directed to the chassis and not through the relatively low impedance (at RF frequencies) output of the THAT 1420/1430. The devices will have no effect on the gain error of these line drivers at audio frequencies. While both of these chips have diode protection to the rails, this protection might not be adequate for some conditions seen in the field. The most obvious problem that one might foresee would be having the line driver's output plugged directly into a microphone preamplifier input that has +48V phantom power applied. This situation can result in surge currents of several amps, which can cause open circuits in the metal traces or failure of the protection diodes on the IC. This circuit uses a discrete diode bridge composed of SB160's to clamp potentially damaging surges to the IC's supply rails. Closing thoughts The integrated balanced line driver is one of those highly useful, cost-effective functional blocks that can provide significant improvement over discrete designs. The THAT 1420 and 1430 go a step or two further by improving over existing components. Both incorporate OutSmartsa technology to tame the aberrant single-ended clipping behavior of conventional cross-coupled output stages. The THAT 1430's design gives reasonably low output offset voltage with only a resistor and a single film or ceramic capacitor, though it is not pin-compatible with existing IC output stages.
