AD8432 rev. 0 | page 18 of 28 theory of operation low noise amplifier (lna) the AD8432 is a dual-channel, ultralow noise amplifier with integrated pin-strappable, gain-setting resistors. the resistors can be externally connected to achieve differential gains of 12.04 db, 18.06 db, 21.58 db, and 24.08 db (4, 8, 12, and 16). a simplified schematic of a lna is shown in figure 60 . the lna is driven with a single-ended input and measured differentially at the output. the inverting input inl must be ac-coupled to ground through a capacitor for proper operation. the lna cannot be driven differentially due to the asymmetry of the internal gain setting resistors. the gain from the inverting input inl to the single-ended output (oph or opl) does not match the gain from the noninverting input inh to the single- ended output. the AD8432 inputs have a dc bias voltage of 3.25 v, which is generated internally. the inputs must be ac-coupled through a series capacitor to maintain the dc bias level of the inputs. likewise, the AD8432 outputs have a dc bias voltage of 2.5v. an ac coupling capacitor in series with each connection is recommended to prevent improper loading of the outputs. the AD8432 supports a differential output voltage of 4.8 v p-p for the common-mode output voltage of 2.5 v. therefore, for a differential gain g = 12.04 db, the maximum input voltage allowed is 1.2 v p-p. clamping the inputs ensures quick recovery from large input voltages. the input back-to-back diodes, which are integrated inside the die (ind1 and ind2), should be used for the lowest gain configuration (12.04 db) to protect the input from overdriving. they should be connected after the source resistance or before the inh coupling capacitor. the use of a fully differential topology and negative feedback minimizes distortion. a differential signal enables smaller swings at each output, which results in reduction of third-order distortion. the AD8432 is a voltage feedback amplifier. due to gain band- width product (gbw), a decrease in bandwidth should be expected as the gain increases. table 5 displays the values of ?3 db bandwidth for each gain with unterminated input impedance. gain setting technique pin strapping is used to set the gain of the amplifier. gain setting resistors are integrated in the lna and are accessible externally through the goh, gmh, gml, and gol pins. by externally shorting these pins, and thereby shorting or connecting the internal resistors, the AD8432 can be configured for four different gains. tabl e 5 shows which pins must be connected to achieve the desired gain. rg2 12 ? rg3 24? rg4 48? rg7 48? rg6 24 ? rg5 24 ? rg1 12? i i i i cinh inh oph vps opl inl r fb c fb q2 q1 gmh goh gml gol cinl gnd gnd gnd rsh rs csh vs 08341-039 figure 60. simplified schematic of lna table 5. gain setting using pin-strapping technique and 3 db bandwidth for each gain configuration differential gain (db) single gain (db) ?3 db bw (mhz) rg1 () rg2 () rg3 () rg4 () rg5 () rg6 () rg7 () 12.04 6.02 200 12 12 connect gmh to goh connect goh to oph 24 connect gml to gol connect gol to opl 18.06 12.04 90 12 12 24 connect goh to oph 24 24 connect gol to opl 21.58 15.56 50 12 12 connect gmh to goh 48 24 connect gml to gol 48 24.08 18.06 32 12 12 24 48 24 24 48

AD8432 rev. 0 | page 21 of 28 applications information the AD8432 lna provides precision gain and ultralow noise performance with minimal external components. because it is a high performance part, care must be taken to ensure that it is configured optimally to attain the best performance and dynamic range for the system. typical setup the internal bias circuitry of the AD8432 sets the input bias voltage at 3.25 v and the output bias voltage at 2.5 v. it is important to ac-couple the inputs through a capacitor to maintain the internal dc bias levels. when active input termination is used (r fb ), a decoupling capacitor (c fb ) is required to isolate the input and output bias voltages of the lna. a typical value for c fb is 0.1 f, but a smaller value capacitor is more appropriate at higher frequencies. the unterminated input impedance of the AD8432 is 6.2 k. any input resistance between 50 and 6.2 k can be synthesized using active impedance matching. at the lowest gain (12.04 db), the gain response exhibits some peaking at higher frequencies. an rc shunt network at the input (see r shx and c shx in figure 64 ) is recommended to reduce gain peaking and enhance stability at higher frequencies. table 7 shows the recommended values of r fb , c sh , and r sh for all four gains and several input impedance combinations. the values for the c sh and r sh network are determined empirically and can be customized as needed to optimize performance. as r in increases, the value of c sh diminishes, and for higher input impedance values, no capacitor may be required. 08341-040 r l r sh2 15 ? c sh2 47pf c l out2+ out2? lna2 0.1f 0.1f 0.1f 0.1f fb 120nh in2 inl2 ind2 inh2 oph2 opl2 gmh2 goh2 gol2 gml2 r fb2 c fb2 0.1f c fb1 0.1f AD8432 r l r sh1 15 ? c sh1 47pf c l out1+ out1? lna1 bias 0.1f 0.1f 0.1f 0.1f 0.1f 0.1f fb 120nh in1 inl1 ind1 inh1 oph1 opl1 gmh1 goh1 gol1 gml1 fb 120nh r fb1 g = 12db comm vps2 vps1 enb figure 64. typical AD8432 setup, g = 12.04 db

AD8432 rev. 0 | page 24 of 28 differential-to-single -ended conversion some applications require the low noise and high dynamic range of the AD8432; however, they may also require a single- ended output, rather than a differential output. the ad8129 and ad8130 differential receiver amplifier can be used for the differential-to-single-ended conversion of the AD8432 output, as shown in figure 67 . the ad8129 is a low noise, high gain (10 or greater) amplifier intended for applications over very long cables, where signal attenuation is significant. the ad8130 is stable at a gain of 1 and can be used for applications where lower gains are required. the ad8129 and ad8130 have user-adjustable gain, set by the ratio of two resistors, to help compensate for losses in the transmission line. a transformer or balun can also be used to convert the differential output of the AD8432 to a single-ended output. transformers have lower distortion; however, care must be taken to properly match the impedance of the transformer. the test circuit for distortion measurements in figure 53 uses an adtt1-1 transformer to perform differential-to-single-ended conversion. 08341-044 ? ? + + 1 8 4 5 6 7 2 ?v s +v s v out1 bias inl1 ind1 inh1 enb vps1 vps2 comm oph1 opl1 lna1 in1 20 ? 499 ? 499 ? 20 ? r sh1 15? c sh1 47 pf 0.1f 0.1f 0.1f 0.1f 0.1f 0.1f gmh1 goh1 gol1 gml1 series r if driving high cap load ac-coupling caps (AD8432 has 2.5v output bias) ad8130 r?s provide bias current path and termination if necessary g = 12 db figure 67.

AD8432 rev. 0 | page 25 of 28 evaluation board figure 68 shows the AD8432 evaluation board, and the schematic diagram is shown in figure 69 . using the board is a convenient and fast way to verify system design and assess the performance of the AD8432 under the user-specific operating conditions. the board provides access to all lna inputs, outputs, and gain setting pins. the board is shipped in a typical g = 12.04 db configuration but is designed to allow customization of the setup as required. the AD8432-evalz requires a single 5 v power supply. an on-board switch (s1) allows vps to drive the enable (enb) input. gain setting headers (w5 to w12) are provided across the gain setting pins and can be shorted using jumpers to allow gain setting quickly and easily. alternately, it is recommended to short the gain setting pins using surface-mount (0402), 0 resistors (r1 to r4, r9 to r12) that eliminate the small parasitic capacitances from longer trace lengths to the headers. as shipped, the evaluation board is configured for g = 12.04 db with these 0 resistors. table 8 outlines which resistors or headers need to be installed or shorted for each gain configuration. table 8. gain setting using resistors or headers gain (v/v) lna1 lna2 4 8 12 16 r1 w5 r9 w9 x 1 x 1 r2 w6 r10 w10 x 1 x 1 r3 w7 r11 w11 x 1 x 1 r4 w8 r12 w12 x 1 x 1 1 x = shorting the indicated header or resistor. 08341-045 figure 68. evaluation board

AD8432 rev. 0 | page 27 of 28 power supply the AD8432 should be powered by a single 5 v supply connected to the vpos terminal. separate supplies can be used for vps1, vps2, and enb, or they can all be tied to vpos by shorting the w3 and w4 headers and the s1 switch. ferrite beads and decoupling capacitors are installed for isolation, protection, and power supply noise reduction. input termination active input impedance matching can be realized by installing a feedback resistor (r fb ), the value of which is determined by the gain and source impedance, as described in the theory of operation section. c fb provides the necessary ac coupling between the input and output when using active termination; a 0.1 f capacitor value is recommended. the r fb and c fb network presents a load to opl, and an equivalent load at oph can be used to balance the differential output. input clamping diodes (ind1 and ind2) can be connected to the inputs, by shorting the connection on the w1 and w2 headers. the diodes provide overvoltage protection to the input and enable faster overdrive recovery times, especially at the lowest gain (12.04 db). output the AD8432 evaluation board provides the space to configure the output loading conditions required by the user, by populating the given footprints (for example, rl1, rl2, c7, and c8). sma connectors are available at the outputs, and space for a transformer is also available for differential-to-single-ended conversion. the 4-pin headers, prb3 and prb4, are placed close to the AD8432, and they provide a way for monitoring the differential output or the single-ended output using a high impedance differential probe. the two inner pins of the headers are connected to opl/oph, and the two outer pins of the headers are connected to ground. there are several footprints provided to install ac coupling capacitors at the outputs (c7 to c14). the AD8432 outputs are biased internally at 2.5 v. to maintain the dc bias level, use coupling capacitors between the outputs and the load.
