General Description
The
Comlinear
CLC2000 and CLC400 are dual and quad voltage feedback
ampliers that offer ±200mA of output current at 9.4Vpp. The CLC2000
and CLC4000 are capable of driving signals to within 1V of the power rails.
When connected as a differential line driver, the amplier drives signals up to
18.8Vpp into a 25Ω load, which supports the peak upstream power levels for
upstream full-rate ADSL CPE applications.
The
Comlinear
CLC2000 and CLC4000 can operate from single or dual sup-
plies from 5V to 12V. It consumes only 7mA of supply current per chan-
nel. The combination of wide bandwidth, low noise, low distortion, and high
output current capability makes the CLC2000 and CLC4000 ideally suited for
Customer Premise ADSL or video line driving applications.

Power Supply and Decoupling
The CLC2000 and CLC4000 can be powered with a low
noise supply anywhere in the range from +5V to +13V.
Ensure adequate metal connections to power pins in the
PC board layout with careful attention paid to decoupling
the power supply.
High quality capacitors with low equivalent series resis-
tance (ESR) such as multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC)
should be used to minimize supply voltage ripple and
power dissipation.
Two decoupling capacitors should be placed on each pow-
er pin with connection to a local PC board ground plane. A
large, usually tantalum, 10μF to 47μF capacitor is required
to provide good decoupling for lower frequency signals
and to provide current for fast, large signal changes at the
CLC2000/CLC4000 outputs. It should be within 0.25” of
the pin. A secondary smaller 0.1μF MLCC capacitor should
located within 0.125” to reject higher frequency noise on
the power line.
Power Dissipation
Power dissipation is an important consideration in applica-
tions with low impedance DC, coupled loads. Guidelines
listed below can be used to verify that the particular ap-
plication will not cause the device to operate beyond its
intended operating range. Calculations below relate to a
single amplier. For the CLC2000/CLC4000, all ampliers
power contribution needs to be added for the total power
dissipation.
Maximum power levels are set by the absolute maximum
junction rating of 150°C. To calculate the junction tem-
perature, the package thermal resistance value ThetaJA
(ӨJA) is used along with the total die power dissipation.
TJunction = TAmbient + (ӨJA × PD)
Where TAmbient is the temperature of the working environ-
ment.
In order to determine PD, the power dissipated in the load
needs to be subtracted from the total power delivered by
the supplies.
PD = Psupply - Pload
Supply power is calculated by the standard power equa-
tion.
Psupply = Vsupply × I(RMS supply)
Vsupply = V(S+) - V(S-)
Power delivered to a purely resistive load is:
Pload = ((VLOAD)RMS2) / Rloadeff
The effective load resistor will need to include the effect
of the feedback network. For instance,
Rloadeff in gure 1 would be calculated as:

These measurements are basic and are relatively easy to
perform with standard lab equipment. For design purposes
however, prior knowledge of actual signal levels and load
impedance is needed to determine the dissipated power.
Here, PD can be found from
PD = PQuiescent + PDynamic - PLoad
Quiescent power can be derived from the specied IS val-
ues along with known supply voltage, VSupply. Load power
can be calculated as above with the desired signal ampli-
tudes using:
(VLOAD)RMS = VPEAK / √2
( ILOAD)RMS = (VLOAD)RMS / Rloadeff
The dynamic power is focused primarily within the output
stage driving the load. This value can be calculated as:
PDYNAMIC = (VS+ - VLOAD)RMS × (ILOAD)RMS
Assuming the load is referenced in the middle of the pow-
er rails or Vsupply/2.

the package vs. the ambient temperature for the 8 Lead
SOIC packages.

Figure 3. Maximum Power Derating
Better thermal ratings can be achieved by maximizing
PC board metallization at the package pins. However, be
careful of stray capacitance on the input pins.
In addition, increased airow across the package can also
help to reduce the effective ӨJA of the package.
In the event of a short circuit condition, the CLC2000/
CLC4000 has circuitry to limit output drive capability to
±1000mA. This will only protect against a momentary
event. Extended duration under these conditions will
cause junction temperatures to exceed 150°C. Due to
internal metallization constraints, continuous output cur-
rent should be limited to ±100mA.
Driving Capacitive Loads
Increased phase delay at the output due to capacitive load-
ing can cause ringing, peaking in the frequency response,
and possible unstable behavior. Use a series resistance,
RS, between the amplier and the load to help improve
stability and settling performance. Refer to Figure 4.

Table 1 provides the recommended RS for various capaci-

peaking in the frequency response. The Frequency Re-
sponse vs. CL plots, on page 7, illustrates the response of
the CLC2000.

Table 1: Recommended RS vs. CL
For a given load capacitance, adjust RS to optimize the
tradeoff between settling time and bandwidth. In general,
reducing RS will increase bandwidth at the expense of ad-
ditional overshoot and ringing.

Overdrive Recovery
An overdrive condition is dened as the point when ei-
ther one of the inputs or the output exceed their specied
voltage range. Overdrive recovery is the time needed for
the amplier to return to its normal or linear operating
point. The recovery time varies, based on whether the in-
put or output is overdriven and by how much the range is
exceeded. The CLC2000/CLC4000 will typically recover in
less than 40ns from an overdrive condition. Figure 5 shows
the CLC2000 in an overdriven condition.
Figure 5. Overdrive Recovery
Using the CLC2000/CLC4000 as a Differential Line Driver
The combination of good large signal bandwidth and high
output drive capability makes the CLC2000/CLC4000 well
suited for low impedance line driver applications, such
as the upstream data path for a ADSL CPE modem. The
dual channel conguration of the CLC2000 provides bet-
ter channel matching than a typical single channel device,
resulting in better overall performance in differential ap-
plications. When congured as a differential amplier as
in gure 6, it can easily deliver the 13dBm to a standard
100Ω twisted-pair CAT3 or CAT5 cable telephone network,
as required in a ADSL CPE application.
Differential circuits have several advantages over single-
ended congurations. These include better rejection of
common mode signals and improvement of power-supply
rejection. The use of differential signaling also improves
overall dynamic performance. Total harmonic distortion
(THD) is reduced by the suppression of even signal har-
monics and the larger signal swings allow for an improved
signal to noise ratio (SNR).

Figure 6: Typical Differential Transmission Line Driver
For any transmission requirement, the fundamental de-
sign parameters needed are the effective impedance of
the transmission line, the power required at the load, and
knowledge concerning the content of the transmitted sig-
nal. The basic design of such a circuit is briey outlined
below, using the ADSL parameters as a guideline.
Data transmission techniques, such as ADSL, utilize ampli-
tude modulation techniques which are sensitive to output
clipping. A signal’s PEAK to RMS ratio, or Crest Factor (CF),
can be used to determine the adequate peak signal levels
to insure delity for a given signal.
For an ADSL system, the signal consists of 256 indepen-
dent frequencies with varying amplitudes. This results in
a noise-like signal with a crest factor of about 5.3. If the
driver does not have enough swing to handle the signal
peaks, clipping will occur and amplitude modulated infor-
mation can be corrupted, causing degradation in the sig-
nals Bit Error Rate.
To determine the required swing, rst use the specied
load impedance to convert the RMS power to an RMS volt-
age. Then, multiply the RMS voltage by the crest factor to
get the peak values. For example 13dBm, as referenced to
1mW, is ~20mW. 20mW into the 100Ω CAT5 impedance
yields a RMS voltage of 1.413 VRMS . Using the ADSL crest
factor of 5.3 yields ~ ±7.5V peak signals.

Line coupling through a 1:2 transformer is used to realize
these levels. Standard back termination is used to match
the characteristic 100Ω impedance of the CAT5 cable. For
proper power transfer, this requires an effective 1:4 im-
pedance match of 25Ω at the inputs of the transformer. To
account for the voltage drop of the impedance matching
resistors, the signal levels at the output of the amplier
need to be doubled. Thus each amplier will swing ±3.75V
about a centered common mode output voltage.
In general, the CLC2000/CLC4000 can be used in any ap-
plication where an economical and local hardwired con-
nection is needed. For example, routing analog or digital
video information for a in-cabin entertainment system.
Networking of a local surveillance system also could be
considered.
Layout Considerations
General layout and supply bypassing play major roles in
high frequency performance. Resurgent Semiconductor
has evaluation boards to use as a guide for high frequency
layout and as aid in device testing and characterization.
Follow the steps below as a basis for high frequency lay-
out:
• Include 6.8µF and 0.1µF ceramic capacitors for power
supply decoupling
• Place the 6.8µF capacitor within 0.75 inches of the power pin
• Place the 0.1µF capacitor within 0.1 inches of the power pin
• Remove the ground plane under and around the part,
especially near the input and output pins to reduce para-
sitic capacitance
• Minimize all trace lengths to reduce series inductances
Refer to the evaluation board layouts below for more in-
formation.
