THAT 1280, 1283, 1286
The THAT 1280 series of precision differen-
tial amplifiers was designed primarily for use as
balanced line receivers for audio applications.
Gains of 0 dB, ±3 dB, and ±6 dB are available to
suit various applications requirements.
These devices are laser-trimmed in wafer
form to obtain the precision resistor matching
needed for high CMR performance and precise
gain. Manufactured in THAT Corporation’s
proprietary complementary dielectric isolation
(DI) process, the 1280 series provides the sonic
benefits of discrete designs with the simplicity,
reliability, matching, and small size of a fully
integrated solution.
All three versions of the part typically exhibit
90 dB of common-mode rejection. With 15 V/μs
slew rate, 7.6 MHz or higher bandwidth, and
0.0006% THD, these devices are sonically trans-
parent. Moreover, current consumption is
typically a low 6 mA (3 mA per amplifier).
The 1280 series is available in a 14-pin SOIC
package. The 1280 is pin-compatible with the TI
INA2134, and the 1286 is pin-compatible with
the TI INA2137 and the ADI AD8273.

Figure 2. Simplified test circuit (1/2 of 128x shown)
The THAT 1280 series ICs consist of two high
performance opamps with integrated, laser-trimmed
resistors. These designs take advantage of THAT’s
fully complementary dielectric isolation (DI) process
to deliver excellent performance with low current
consumption. The devices are simple to apply in a
wide range of applications.
Resistor Trimming, Values, and CMRR
The 1280-series devices rely upon proprietary,
laser-trimmed, silicon-chromium (Si-Cr), thin-film,
integrated resistors to deliver the precise matching
required to achieve a 90 dB common mode rejection
ratio. Trimming is performed in two cycles, both
using dc inputs. First, gain is set by trimming the
R1/R2 pair. Then, CMRR is set by trimming the other
pair (R3/R4). Generally, only one resistor of each pair
is trimmed (whichever needs to increase to meet the
required specification).
To achieve 90 dB CMRR, the R3/R4 ratio is
trimmed to within ±0.005 % of the R1/R2 ratio. Since
the resistors themselves are on the order of 10 kΩ
(see Figure 1 for actual values, which change with the
specific part), an increase of as little as 0.6 Ω can
reduce the CMRR from over 90 dB to 84 dB. The
better the starting CMRR, the more impact (in dB) a
given added resistance will have.
Therefore, to achieve this high CMRR in
practice, take care to ensure that all source imped-
ances remain balanced. To accomplish this, PCB
traces carrying signals should be balanced in length,
connector resistance should be minimized, and any
input capacitance (including strays) should be
balanced between the + and - legs of the input
circuitry. Note that the additional contact resistance
of some sockets is sufficient to undo the effects of
precision trimming. Therefore, socketing the parts is
not recommended. THAT’s 1200-series InGenius®
input stages address many of these difficulties
through a patented method of increasing common-
mode input impedance, and should be considered
for any critical applications.
A further consideration is that after trimming,
the two resistor divider ratios are tightly controlled,
but the actual value of any individual resistor is not.
The initial tolerance of the resistors is quite wide, so
it is possible for any given resistor to vary over a
surprisingly wide range. Lot-to-lot variations of up to
±30 % are to be expected.
Input Considerations
The 1280-series devices are internally protected
against input overload via an unusual arrangement of
diodes connecting the + and - input pins to the
power supply pins. The circuit of Figure 3 shows the
arrangement used for the R3/R4 side; a similar one
applies to the other side. The zener diodes prevent
the protection network from conducting until an
input pin is raised at least 50 V above VCC or lowered
50V below VEE. Thus, the protection networks protect
the devices without constraining the allowable signal
swing at the input pins. The reference (and sense)
pins are protected via more conventional reverse-
biased diodes which will conduct if these pins are
raised above VCC or below VEE.
To reduce risk of damage from ESD, and to
prevent RF from reaching the devices, THAT recom-
mends the circuit of Figure 4. C3 through C5 should
be located close to the point where the input signal
comes into the chassis, preferably directly on the
connector. The unusual circuit design is intended to
minimize the unbalancing impact of differences in
the values of C4 and C5 by forcing the capacitance
from each input to chassis ground to depend primar-
ily on the value of C3. The circuit shown is approxi-
mately ten times less sensitive to mismatches
between C4 and C5 than the more conventional
approach in which the junction of C4 and C5 is
grounded directly. An excellent discussion of input
stage grounding can be found in the June 1995 issue
of the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, Vol.
43, No. 6, in articles by Stephen Macatee, Bill
Whitlock, and others.
Note that because of the tight matching of the
internal resistor ratios, coupled with the uncertainty

Figure 4. RFI and supply bypassing
Theory of Operation
in absolute value of any individual resistor, RF
bypassing through the addition of R-C networks at
the inputs (series resistor followed by a capacitor to
ground at each input) is not recommended. The
added resistors can interact with the internal ones in
unexpected ways. If some impedance for the
RF-bypass capacitor to work against is deemed
necessary, THAT recommends the use of a ferrite
bead or balun instead.
If it is necessary to ac-couple the inputs of the
1280-series parts, the coupling capacitors should be
sized to present negligible impedance at any frequen-
cies of interest for common mode rejection. Regard-
less of the type of coupling capacitor chosen,
variations in the values of the two capacitors,
working against the 1280-series input impedance
(itself subject to potential imbalances in absolute
value, even when trimmed for perfect ratio match),
can unbalance common mode input signals. This can
convert common-mode to balanced signals which will
not be rejected by the CMRR of the devices. For this
reason, THAT recommends dc-coupling the inputs of
the 1280-series devices.
Input Voltage Limitations
When configured, respectively, for -3 dB and
-6 dB gain, the 1283 and 1286 devices are capable of
accepting input signals above the power supply rails.
This is because the internal opamp’s inputs connect
to the outside world only through the on-chip resis-
tors R1 through R4 at nodes a and b as shown in
Figure 2. Consider the following analysis.
Differential Input Signals
For differential signals (vIN(DIFF)), the limitation to
signal handling will be output clipping. The outputs
of all the devices typically clip at within 2V of the
supply rails. Therefore, maximum differential input
signal levels are directly related to the gain and
supply rails and can be calculated in dBu as follows:
Vin(diff)=20log
VCCVEE
22V
2
0.775 Gain
or
Vin(diff)=20log(VCC VEE 4V)−Gain 6.8dB
For example, If VCC=15V, VEE=-15V, and
Gain = -3 dB, then
Vin(diff)=20log[15V−(15V)−4V]−(3dB)−6.8dB
= 24.5 dBu
Common-Mode Input Signals
For common-mode input signals, there is essen-
tially no output signal. The limitation on common-
mode handling is the point at which the inputs are
overloaded. So, we must consider the inputs of the
opamp.
For common-mode signals (VIN(CM)), the common-mode
input current splits to flow through both R1/R2 and through
R3
R4. Because
v
bis constrained to follow Va,we will
consider only the voltage at node a.
The voltage at a can be calculated as:
Va=VIN(CM)
R4
R3+R4
Solving for vIN(CM),
VIN(CM)=VaR3+R4
R4
For the 1280, (R3 + R4) /R4 = 2. For the 1283,
(R3 + R4) /R4 = 2.4. For the 1286, (R3 + R4) /R4 = 3.
Furthermore, the same constraints apply to va as in
the differential analysis.
Following the same reasoning as above, the
maximum common-mode input signal for the 1280 is
(2VCC - 4) V, and the minimum is (2VEE + 4) V. For
the 1283, these figures are (2.4VCC - 4.8) V, and
(2.4VEE + 4.8) V. For the 1286, these figures are
(3VCC - 6) V, and (3VEE + 6) V.
Therefore, for common-mode signals and ±15 V
rails, the 1280 will accept up to ~26 V in either
direction. As an ac signal, this is 52 V peak-peak,
18.4 V rms, or +27.5 dBu. With the same supply
rails, the 1283 will accept up to ~31 V in either
direction. As an ac signal, this is 62 V peak-peak,
21.9 V rms, or +29 dBu. With the same supply rails,
the 1286 will accept up to ~39 V in either direction.
As an ac signal, this is 78 V peak-peak, 27.6 V rms,
or +31 dBu.
Of course, in the real world, differential and
common-mode signals combine. The maximum
signal that can be accommodated will depend on the
superposition of both differential and common-mode
limitations.
Output Considerations
The 1280-series devices are typically capable of
supplying 42 mA into a short circuit. While they will
survive a short, power dissipation will rise dramati-
cally if the output is shorted. Junction temperature
must be kept under 125 ºC to maintain the devices’
specifications.
These devices are stable with up to 300 pF of
load capacitance over the entire rated temperature
range, and even more at room temperature.
Power Supply Considerations
The 1280-series parts are not particularly sensi-
tive to the power supply, but they do contain wide
bandwidth opamps. Accordingly, small local bypass
capacitors should be located within a few inches of
the supply pins on these parts, as shown in Figure 4.
Selecting a Gain Variation
The three different parts offer different gain
structures to suit different applications. The 1286 is
customarily configured for -6 dB gain, but by revers-
ing the resistor connections, it can also be configured
for +6 dB. The 1283 is most often configured for
-3 dB gain, but can also be configured for +3 dB.
The choice of input gain is determined by the input

e to be accommodated, and the power
supply voltages used within the circuit.
To minimize noise and maximize signal-to-noise
ratio, the input stage should be selected and config-
ured for the highest possible gain that will ensure
that maximum-level input signals will not clip the
input stage or succeeding stages. For example, with
±18 V supply rails, the 1280-series parts have a
maximum output signal swing of +23 dBu. In order
to accommodate +24 dBu input signals, the
maximum gain for the stage is -1 dB. With ±15 V
supply rails, the maximum output signal swing is
~+21.1 dBu; here, -3 dB is the maximum gain. In
each case, a 1283 confi
g
ured for -3 dB
g
ain is the
ideal choice. The 1280 (0 dB gain only) will not
provide enough headroom at its output to support a
+24 dBu input signal. The 1286 (configured for
-6 dB gain) will increase noise, thus reducing
dynamic range, by attenuating the input signal more
than necessary to support a +24 dBu input.
In fact, for most professional audio applications,
THAT recommends the -3 dB input configuration
possible only with the 1283 in order to preserve
dynamic range within a reasonable range of power
supply voltages and external headroom limits.

The THAT 1280, 1283, and 1286 are usually
thought of as precision differential amplifiers with
gains of zero, -3 and -6 dB respectively. These
devices are primarily intended as balanced line
receivers for audio applications. However, their
topology lends itself to other applications as well.
Basic Balanced Receiver Applications
Figures 5, 6, and 7, respectively, show the 1280,
1286 and 1286 configured as zero, -3 dB, and -6 dB
line receivers. Figures 8 and 9, respectively, show
the 1283 and 1286 configured as +3 dB and +6 dB
line receivers. The higher gains are achieved by
swapping the positions of the resistors within each
pair in regard to signal input vs. Output.
Precision Summing Application
Figure 10 shows a 1280 configured as a preci-
sion summing amplifier. This circuit uses both the
In+ and Ref pins as inputs. Because of the excellent
matching between the laser-trimmed resistor pairs,
the output voltage is precisely equal to the sum of the
two input voltages.
Instrumentation Amplifier Application
Figure 11 shows one half of a 1280 configured
as an instrumentation amplifier. The two opamps
preceding the 1280 buffer the input signal before
passing it on to the 1280. The OP270 shown was
chosen for its combination of good ac and dc
performance. In this configuration, the opamps
provide gain equal to 1+(9.98 kΩ / Rg) for differential
signals, but unity gain for common-mode signals.
The 1280 then rejects the common mode signal while
passing on the differential portion. As well, the
opamps buffer the input of the 1280, raising the
circuit’s input impedance to both differential and
common-mode signals. This makes the circuit’s
common-mode rejection less sensitive to variations
in the source impedance driving the stage.
As noted in the Theory of Operation section,
THAT’s InGenius® input stages use patented circuitry
to increase common-mode input impedance. This
even further inproves common-mode rejection in
real-world applications. See the THAT 1200-series
datasheet for more information.

Driving Analog-to-Digital Converters
Figure 12 shows a convenient method of driving
a typical audio ADC with balanced inputs. This
circuit accepts +24 dBu in. By using both halves of a
single 1283 IC connected in anti-phase, the
maximum signal level between their respective
outputs is +27 dBu. An attenuator network brings
this si
g
nal down by 18.8 dB while attenuatin

the
noise of the line receivers as well.
In ADC applications such as this, noise is
usually a significant consideration. The output noise
of one channel of a THAT1283 is -105.9 dBu in a
22 kHz bandwidth, or 26.6 nV/Hz. Since both
channels are used, and since noise adds in random
fashion (square-root of the sum of the squares), the
total noise level at the input of the resistive pad (R1 ~
R3) will be -102.9 dBu or 37.5 nV/Hz. The pad
reduces this noise level to -121.7 dBu or 4.3 nV/Hz
at the input to the ADC, while C1 provides low-pass
filtering typically required by ADCs.
The thermal noise of the resistive attenuator is
1.87 nV/Hz or the equivalent noise of a 210 resis-
tor. Therefore, the total noise density going into the
input of the ADC will be

Controlling Gain in Balanced Systems
When it becomes necessary to control gain in a
balanced system, designers are often tempted to keep
the signal balanced and use two Voltage Controlled
Amplifiers (VCAs) to control the gain on each half of
the balanced signal. Unfortunately, this can result in
common-mode to differential-mode conversion
(degrading CMRR) when there are even slight differ-
ences in gain between the VCAs. A better approach is
to convert the signal to single-ended, alter the gain,
and then convert back to balanced.
Figure 13 shows a stereo gain control for a
balanced system. First, we use a 1283 -3 dB line
receiver to perform the balanced to single-ended
conversion. A THAT 1606, with +6dB gain, is used
to rebalance the signal before the circuit’s output. A
THAT 2162 dual VCA is used to alter gain based on a
dc voltage applied at EC-, the “Control Voltage” node.
(This point is intended to be driven from a
low-impedance, low-noise voltage source. See the
THAT 2162-series data sheet for details.)
As shown, the VCA section is configured for
“static” gain of -3 dB (gain with 0 Vdc applied to the
EC-) due to the choice of ratio of R3 to R2 and R7 to R6.
Additionally, the 1283 has a gain of -3 dB for a total
attenuation of 6 dB before the output driver. The
1606 has a gain of 6 dB, therefore the circuit has a
gain of 0 dB with 0 V at the control voltage node.
This circuit accepts and delivers over +24 dBu
before clipping, and has a noise floor of -91.5 dBu
(22 kHz bandwidth). By varying the Control Voltage,
gains from -70 dB to +40 dB may easily be achieved.
The VCA’s “deci-linear” relationship between Control
Voltage and gain makes the gain setting precise,
predictable, and repeatable.

The THAT1280 series is available in a 14-pin
surface mount (SOIC) package. Package dimensions
are shown in Figure 14 below; Pinouts are given in
Table 1 on page 1. Ordering information is provided
in Table 2 below.
The 1280 series package is entirely lead-free.
The lead-frame is copper, plated with successive
layers of nickel, palladium, and gold. This approach
makes it possible to solder these devices using lead-
free and lead-bearing solders.
Neither the lead-frame nor the the plastic mold
compound used in the 1280-series contains any
hazardous substances as specified in the European
Union's Directive on the Restriction of the Use of
Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and
Electronic Equipment 2002/95/EG of January 27,
2003.
The surface-mount package is suitable for use in
a 100% tin solder process.
