GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8393 is a low power, high output current, single-supply,
ADSL-CO line driver that features ADI’s patent pending
Adaptive Linear Power (ALP) architecture. The AD8393 ALP
architecture offers increased port density in ADSL Central Office
(CO) line card designs through improved line driver efficiency
and simplified system design by operating from a single 12 V
supply. The AD8393 ALP amplifier can provide 20.4 dBm of
line power from a single 12 V dc supply, surpassing the efficiency
of typical class AB line drivers. ADSL signals applied to the inputs
of the AD8393 modulate internal driver supplies coincidentally
with the peak voltages contained in Discrete Multitone (DMT)
signals. The internal supplies modulated by the ALP circuit
allow the AD8393 to operate from a lower supply voltage that
improves efficiency and simplifies CO line card designs. Crest
factors (CF) up to 6.5 can be accommodated by the AD8393.
Potentially useful in non-DSL applications, the ALP architecture dramatically improves power efficiency when processing
signals with occasional peaks by responding to these signal
peaks and instantaneously raising the internal supply voltage
when peak power is needed. The AD8393 is capable of delivering
over 36 V p–p of signal to a differential load, while operating
on a single 12 V supply.
