GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SSM2143 is an integrated differential amplifier intended to
receive balanced line inputs in audio applications requiring a
high level of immunity from common-mode noise. The device
provides a typical 90 dB of common-mode rejection (CMR),
which is achieved by laser trimming of resistances to better than
0.005%.
Additional features of the device include a slew rate of 10 V/µs
and wide bandwidth. Total harmonic distortion (THD) is less
than 0.004% over the full audio band, even while driving low
impedance loads. The SSM2143 input stage is designed to
handle input signals as large as +28 dBu at G = 1/2. Although
primarily intended for G = 1/2 applications, a gain of 2 can be
realized by reversing the +IN/–IN and SENSE/REFERENCE
connections.
When configured for a gain of 1/2, the SSM2143 and SSM2142
Balanced Line Driver provide a fully integrated, unity gain
solution to driving audio signals over long cable runs. For
similar performance with G = 1, see SSM2141.

SSM2143
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The SSM2143 is designed as a balanced differential line receiver. It uses a high speed, low noise audio amplifier with four
precision thin-film resistors to maintain excellent common-mode
rejection and ultralow THD. Figure 25 shows the basic differential receiver application where the SSM2143 yields a gain of 1/2.
The placement of the input and feedback resistors can be
switched to achieve a gain of +2, as shown in Figure 26. For
either circuit configuration, the SSM2143 can also be used unbalanced by grounding one of the inputs. In applications requiring a gain of +1, use the SSM2141.

CMRR
The internal thin-film resistors are precisely trimmed to achieve
a CMRR of 90 dB. Any imbalances introduced by the external
circuitry will cause a significant reduction in the overall CMRR
performance. For example, a 5 Ω source imbalance will result in
a CMRR of 71 dB at dc. This is also true for any reactive source
impedances that may affect the CMRR over the audio frequency
range. These error sources need to be minimized to maintain
the excellent CMRR.
To quantify the required accuracy of the thin film resistor
matching, the source of CMRR error can be analyzed. A resistor
mismatch can be modelled as shown in Figure 27. By assuming
a tolerance on one of the 12 kΩ resistors of ∆R, the equation for
the common-mode gain becomes:

∆R
Setting ∆R to 5 Ω results in the CMRR of 71 dB, as stated
above. To achieve the SSM2143’s CMRR of 90 dB, the resistor
mismatch can be at most 0.57 Ω. In other words, to build this
circuit discretely, the resistors would have to be matched to
better than 0.005%!
The following table shows typical resistor accuracies and the
resulting CMRR for a differential amplifier.

buffered with an op amp to maintain very low impedance to
achieve high CMRR. The same reasoning as above applies such
that the 6 kΩ resistor has to be matched to better than 0.005%
or 0.3 Ω. The op amp maintains very low output impedance
over the entire audio frequency range, as long as its bandwidth
is well above 20 kHz. The reference input can be adjusted over
a ±10 V range. The gain from the reference to the output is
unity so the resulting dc output adjustment range is also ±10 V.
INPUT ERRORS
The main dc input offset error specified for the SSM2143 is the
Input Offset Voltage. The Input Bias Current and Input Offset
Current are not specified as for a normal operational amplifier.
Because the SSM2143 has built-in resistors, any bias current
related errors are converted into offset voltage errors. Thus, the
offset voltage specification is a combination of the amplifier’s
offset voltage plus its offset current times the input impedance.

LINE DRIVER/RECEIVER SYSTEM
The SSM2143 and SSM2142 provide a fully integrated line driver/
receiver system. The SSM2142 is a high performance balanced
line driver IC that converts an unbalanced input into a balanced
output signal. It can drive large capacitive loads on long cables
making it ideal for transmitting balanced audio signals. When combined with an SSM2143 on the receiving end of the cable, the system maintains high common-mode rejection and ultralow THD.
The SSM2142 is designed with a gain of +2 and the SSM2143
with a gain of 1/2, providing an overall system gain of unity.
The following data demonstrates the typical performance of the
two parts together, measured on an Audio Precision at the
SSM2143’s output. This configuration was tested with 500 feet

of cable between the ICs as well as no cable. The combination
of the two parts results in excellent THD+N and SNR and a noise
floor of typically –105 dB over a 20 Hz to 20 kHz bandwidth.
A comment on SSM2142/SSM2143 system headroom is necessary. Figure 31 shows a maximum signal handling of approximately
±22 dBu, but it must be kept in mind that this is measured between the SSM2142’s input and SSM2143’s output, which has
been attenuated by one half. Normally, the system would be shown
as actually used in a piece of equipment, whereby the SSM2143 is
at the input and SSM2142 at the output. In this case, the system
could handle differential signals in excess of +24 dBu at the input
and output, which is consistent with headroom requirements of
most professional audio equipment.
