PRODUCTION

Low-Cost, High Speed Differential Driver

Viewing:

Overview

  • High Speed:
    400 MHz –3 dB Full Power Bandwidth
    2000 V/µs Slew Rate
  • Fixed Gain of 2 with No External Components
  • Internal Common-Mode Feedback to Improve Gain and Phase Balance: –60 dB @10 MHz
  • Separate Input to Set the
    Common-Mode Output Voltage
  • Low Distortion:
    68 dB SFDR @ 5 MHz 200 Ω Load
  • Power Supply Range +2.7 V to ±5 V

The AD8131 is a differential or single-ended input to differential output driver requiring no external components for a fixed gain of 2. The AD8131 is a major advancement over op amps for driving signals over long lines or for driving differential input ADCs. The AD8131 has a unique internal feedback feature that provides output gain and phase matching that are balanced to –60dB at 10MHz, reducing radiated EMI and suppressing harmonics. Manufactured on ADI's next generation of XFCB bipolar process, the AD8131 has a –3 dB bandwidth of 400 MHz and delivers a differential signal with very low harmonic distortion.

The AD8131 is a differential driver for the transmission of high-speed signals over low-cost twisted pair or coax cables. The AD8131 can be used for either analog or digital video signals or for other high-speed data transmission. The AD8131 driver is capable of driving either Cat3 or Cat5 twisted pair or coax with minimal line attenuation. The AD8131 has considerable cost and performance improvements over discrete line driver solutions.

The AD8131 is available in both SOIC and MSOP packages for operation over –40°C to +125°C.

Evaluation Kits

EVAL-FDA-1

Universal Evaluation Board for Single Differential Amplifiers

Product Details

The Universal Differential Amplifier Evaluation Boards can be used to evaluate single, high speed, fully differential amplifiers. The evaluation boards are bare boards that enable users to quickly prototype a variety of differential or single-ended circuits, which minimizes risk and reduces time to market. These boards are all RoHs Compliant. See references below on what board to order by lead count and package.
