The ISL1539A provides 4 internal wideband op amps
intended to be used as two pairs of differential line
drivers. The ISL1539A’s high bandwidth, 240MHz, and
ultra low distortion, -89dBc @ 1MHz, 2VP-P, support the
demanding MTPR requirements of emerging VDSL2 line
driver designs. Less demanding requirements can be met
at very low quiescent powers using the supply current
adjustment features.
Each of the 4 internal op amps is a wideband current
feedback amplifier offering very high slew rate intrinsic to
that design using low quiescent current levels. Each of
the two pair of amplifiers (ports) can also be power
optimized to the application using two external quiescent
control logic pins. Full power is nominally 27.2mA/port
with options of medium power cutback to 23mA/port, a
low power condition at 13.5mA/port, and an off state at
<0.5mA/port. Added quiescent power flexibility is
provided through an external IADJ pin. Grounding the pin
gives the nominal currents listed above while inserting a
resistor from this pin to ground can be used to scale each
of the settings downward.
High power push/pull line driver applications as
illustrated in the example below are best supported using
a low headroom, high output current device. On ±12V
supplies, the ISL1539A offers a 1.1V headroom with
>360mA peak output current. Driving differentially this
gives >41.8VP-P swing to as low as 58Ω differential load.
High SFDR operation is also supported for supplies as low
as ±7.5V. Intended to be used as differential pairs, this
two port device includes special circuitry to minimize
common mode loop peaking while also reducing the
common mode output noise spectrum. That circuitry
links the two sides of each port, precluding their
application as individual amplifiers.
