input and produces an output voltage referred to a user-chosen level. The undesired common-mode signal is rejected, even at high frequencies. High impedance inputs ease interfacing to fi­nite source impedances and thus preserve the excellent common-mode rejection. In many respects, it offers significant improvements over discrete difference amplifier approaches, in particular in high frequency common-mode rejection.
The wide common-mode and differential-voltage range of the AD830 make it particularly useful and flexible in level shifting applications, but at lower power dissipation than discrete solu­tions. Low distortion is preserved over the many possible differ­ential and common-mode voltages at the input and output.
Good gain flatness and excellent differential gain of 0.06% and phase of 0.08° make the AD830 suitable for many video system applications. Furthermore, the AD830 is suited for general pur­pose signal processing from dc to 10 MHz.

NOTES
1
Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

8-Pin Plastic Package: θJA = 90°C/Watt 8-Pin SOIC Package: θJA = 155°C/Watt 8-Pin Cerdip Package: θJA = 110°C/Watt
MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the AD830 is limited by the associated rise in junction temperature. For the plastic packages, the maximum safe junction tempera­ture is 145°C. For the cerdip, the maximum junction tempera­ture is 175°C. If these maximums are exceeded momentarily, proper circuit operation will be restored as soon as the die tem­perature is reduced. Leaving the AD830 in the “overheated” condition for an extended period can result in permanent dam­age to the device. To ensure proper operation, it is important to observe the recommended derating curves.
While the AD830 output is internally short circuit protected, this may not be sufficient to guarantee that the maximum junc­tion temperature is not exceeded under all conditions. If the output is shorted to a supply rail for an extended period, then the amplifier may be permanently destroyed.
ESD SUSCEPTIBILITY
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 volts, which readily accumulate on the human body and on test equipment, can discharge without de­tection. Although the AD830 features proprietary ESD protec­tion circuitry, permanent damage may still occur on these devices if they are subjected to high energy electrostatic dis­charges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid any performance degradation or loss of functionality.

AD830 FOR DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFICATION
The AD830 amplifier was specifically developed to solve the listed problems with the discrete difference amplifier approach. Its topology, discussed in detail in a later section, by design acts as a difference amplifier. The circuit of Figure 20 shows how simply the AD830 is configured to produce the difference of two signals V
and V2, in which the applied differential signal is

exactly reproduced at the output relative to a separate output common. Any common-mode voltage present at the input is removed by the AD830.

The AD830 represents Analog Devices’ first amplifier product to embody a powerful alternative amplifier topology. Referred to as active feedback, the topology used in the AD830 provides in­herent advantages in the handling of differential signals, differ­ing system commons, level shifting and low distortion, high frequency amplification. In addition, it makes possible the implementation of many functions not realizable with single op amp circuits or is superior to op amp based equivalent circuits. With this in mind, it is important to understand the internal structure of the AD830.
The topology, reduced to its elemental form, is shown below in Figure 21. Nonideal effects such as nonlinearity, bias currents and limited full scale are omitted from this model for simplicity, but are discussed later. The key feature of this topology is the use of two, identical voltage-to-current converters, G
, that
M
make up input and feedback signal interfaces. They are labeled with inputs V
and VY, respectively. These voltage to current
X
converters possess fully differential inputs, high linearity, high input impedance and wide voltage range operation. This enables the part to handle large amplitude differential signals; they also provide high common-mode rejection, low distortion and negli­gible loading on the source. The label, G

Figure 22. Closed-Loop Connection
Precise amplification is accomplished through closed-loop op­eration of this topology. Voltage feedback is implemented via the Y G –Y input for negative feedback as shown in Figure 22. An input signal is applied across the X G or single-ended referred to common. It produces a current sig­nal which is summed at the high impedance node with the out­put current from the Y G sum to a small error current necessary to develop the output voltage at the high impedance node. The error current is usually negligible, so the null condition essentially forces the Y G output stage current to exactly equal the X GM output current. Since the two transconductances are identical, the differential voltage across the Y inputs equals the negative of the differential voltage across the X input; V V

easily analyze any function possible to synthesize with the AD830, including any feedback situation.
The bandwidth of the circuit is defined by the G capacitor C single pole response, excluding the output amplifier and loading effects. It is important to note that the bandwidth and general dy-
namic behavior is symmetrical (identical) for the noninverting and the inverting connections of the AD830. In addition, the input im-
pedance and CMRR are the same for either connections. This is very advantageous and unlike in a voltage or current feedback amplifier, where there is a distinct difference in performance be­tween the inverting and noninverting gain. The practical impor­tance of this cannot be overemphasized and is a key feature offered by the AD830 amplifier topology.

INTERFACING THE INPUT Common-Mode Voltage Range
The common-mode range of the AD830 is defined by the am­plitude of the differential input signal and the supply voltage. The general definition of common-mode voltage, V
, is usu-

ally applied to a symmetrical differential signal centered about a particular voltage as illustrated by the diagram in Figure 23. This is the meaning implied here for common-mode voltage. The internal circuitry establishes the maximum allowable volt­age on the input or feedback pins for a given supply voltage. This constraint and the differential input voltage sets the common-mode voltage limit. Figure 24 shows a curve of the common-mode voltage range vs. differential voltage for three supply voltage settings.

Differential Voltage Range
The maximum applied differential voltage is limited by the clip­ping range of the input stages. This is nominally set at 2.4 volts magnitude and depicted in the crossplot (X-Y) photo of Figure
25. The useful linear range of the input stages is set at 2 volts, but is actually a function of the distortion required for a particu­lar application. The distortion increases for larger differential input voltages. A plot of relative distortion versus input differen­tial voltage is shown in Figures 8 and 11 in the Typical Charac­teristics section. The distortion characteristics could impose a secondary limit to the differential input voltage for high accu­racy applications.

Choice of Polarity
The sign of the gain is easily selected by choosing the polarity of the connections to the + and – inputs of the X G
stage. Swap-
M
ping between inverting and noninverting gain is possible simply by reversing the input connections. The response of the ampli­fier is identical in either connection, except for the sign change. The bandwidth, high impedance, transient behavior, etc., of the AD830, is symmetrical for both polarities of gain. This is very advantageous and unlike an op amp.
Input Impedance
The relatively high input impedance of the AD830, for a differ­ential receiver amplifier, permits connections to modest imped­ance sources without much loading or loss of common-mode rejection. The nominal input resistance is 300 k. The real limit to the upper value of the source resistance is in its effect on common-mode rejection and bandwidth. If the source resistance is in only one input, then the low frequency common-mode re­jection will be lowered to R

the peak output differential voltage can be easily derived from the maximum output swing as V

.
Output Current
The absolute peak output current is set by the short circuit cur­rent limiting, typically greater that 60 mA. The maximum drive capability is rated at 50 mA, but without a guarantee of distor­tion performance. Best distortion performance is obtained by keeping the output current 20 mA. Attempting to drive large voltages into low valued resistances (e.g., 10 V into 150 ) will cause an apparent lowering of the limit for output signal swing, but is just the current limiting behavior.
Driving Cap Loads
The AD830 is capable of driving modest sized capacitive loads while maintaining its rated performance. Several curves of band­width versus capacitive load are given in Figures 15 and 18. The AD830 was designed primarily as a low distortion video speed amplifier, but with a tradeoff, giving up very large capacitive load driving capability. If very large capacitive loads must be driven, then the network shown in Figure 27 should be used to insure stable operation. If the loss of gain caused by the resistor R
in series with the load is objectionable, then the optional

feedback network shown may be added to restore the lost gain.
good low and high frequency common-mode rejection, it is rec­ommended that the source resistances of the + and – inputs be matched and of modest value (10 k).
Handling Bias Currents
The bias currents are typically 4 µA flowing into each pin of the G
stages of the AD830. Since all applications possess some fi-
M
nite source resistance, the bias current through this resistor will create a voltage drop (I pedance of the AD830 permits modest values of R
3 RS). The relatively high input im-

10 k. If the source resistance is in only one terminal, then an objectional offset voltage may result (e.g., 4 µA 3 5 k = 20 mV). Placement of an equal value resistor in series with the other input will cancel the offset to first order. However, due to mismatches in the resistances, a residual offset will remain and likely be greater than bias current (offset current) mismatches.
Applying Feedback
The AD830 is intended for use with gain from 1 to 100. Gains greater than one are simply set by a pair of resistors connected as shown in the difference amplifier (Figure 35) with gain >1. The value of the bottom resistor R 1 k to insure that the pole formed by C nection of R

Depending on the anticipated signal span, the output common (or ground) may be set anywhere between the allowable peak output voltage in a manner similar to that described for input voltage common mode.

SUPPLIES, BYPASSING AND GROUNDING (FIGURE 29)
The AD830 is capable of operating over a wide range of supply voltages, both single and dual supplies. The coupling may be dc or ac provided the input and output voltages stay within the specified common-mode voltage limits. For dual supplies, the device works from ±4 V to ±16.5 V. Single supply operation is possible over +8 V to +33 V. It is also possible to operate the part with split supply voltages (e.g., +24 V, –5 V) for special applications such as level shifting. The primary constraint is that the total potential between the two supplies does not exceed 33 V.
Inclusion of power supply bypassing capacitors is necessary to achieve stable behavior and the specified performance. It is es­pecially important when driving low resistance loads. At a mini­mum, connect a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor at the supply lead of the AD830 package. In addition, for the best by passing, we rec­ommend connecting a 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor and 4.7 µF tantalum capacitor to the supply lead going to the AD830.

Figure 29. Supply Decoupling Options
The AD830 is designed by its functionality to be capable of rejecting noise and dissimilar potentials in the ground lines. Therefore, proper care is necessary to realize the benefits of the differential amplification of the part. Separation of the input and output grounds is crucial in rejection of the common mode noise at the inputs and eliminating any ground drops on the in­put signal line. For example, connecting the ground of a coaxial cable to the AD830 output common (board ground) could de­grade the CMR and also introduce power-down loading on cable grounds. However, it is also necessary as in any electronic system, to provide a return path for bias currents back to their original power supply. This is accomplished by providing a con­nection between the differing grounds through a modest imped­ance labeled Z
(e.g., 100 ).
CM
Single Supply Operation
The AD830 is capable of operating in single power supply appli­cations down to a voltage of +8 V, with the generalized connec­tion shown in Figure 30. There is a constraint on the common-mode voltage at the input and output which estab­lishes the range for these voltages. Direct coupling may be used for input and output voltages which lie in these ranges. Any gain network applied needs to be referred to the output common connection or have an appropriate offset voltage. In situations where the signal lies at a common voltage outside the common mode range of the AD830 direct coupling will not work, so ac coupling should be used. A tested application included later in this data sheet (Figure 42), shows how to easily accomplish cou­pling to the AD830. For single supply operation where direct coupling is desired the input and output common-mode curves (Figures 31 and 32) should be used.

AD830
Differential Line Receiver
The AD830 was specifically designed to perform as a differen­tial line receiver. The circuit in Figure 33 shows how simple it is to configure the AD830 for this function. The signal from sys­tem “A” is received differentially relative to A’s common, and that voltage is exactly reproduced relative to the common in sys­tem B. The common-mode rejection versus frequency, shown in Figure 1, is excellent, typically 100 dB at low frequencies. The high input impedance permits the AD830 to operate as a bridg­ing amplifier across low impedance terminations with negligible loading. The differential gain and phase specifications are very good as shown in Figure 7 for 500 and Figure 10 for 150 . The input and output common should be separated to achieve the full CMR performance of the AD830 as a differential ampli­fier. However, a common return path is necessary between sys­tems A and B.

Wide Range Level Shifter
The wide common-mode range and accuracy of the AD830 al­lows easy level shifting of differential signals referred to an input common-mode voltage to any new voltage defined at the out­put. The inputs may be referenced to levels as high as 10 V at the inputs with a ±2 V swing about 10 V. In the circuit of Fig­ure 34, the output voltage, V
, is defined by the simple equa-

tion shown below. The excellent linearity and low distortion are preserved over the full input and output common-mode range. The voltage sources need not be of low impedance, since the high input resistance and modest input bias current of the AD830 V-to-I converters permit the use of resistive voltage di­viders as reference voltages.

The AD830 can offset the output signal very simply through Pin 3 even with gain > 1. The voltage ap­plied to Pin 3 must be attenuated by an appropriate factor so that V

AD830
Loop Through or Line Bridging Amplifier (Figure 37)
The AD830 is ideally suited for use as a video line bridging am­plifier. The video signal is tapped from the conductor of the cable relative to its shield. The high input impedance of the AD830 provides negligible loading on the cable. More signifi­cantly, the benign loading is maintained while the AD830 is powered-down. Coupled with its good video load driving per­formance, the AD830 is well suited to video cable monitoring applications.

becomes troublesome. For dual supply operation, the 10 k resistors may go directly to ground. The output common is con­veniently set by a Zener diode for a low impedance reference to preserve the high frequency CMR. However, a simple resistive divider will work fine and good high frequency CMR can be maintained by placing a compensating resistor in series with the +Y input. The excellent CMRR response of the circuit is shown in Figure 43. A plot of the 0.1 dB flatness from 10 Hz is also shown. With the use of 10 µF capacitors, the CMR is >90 dB down to a few tens of hertz. This level of performance is almost impossible to achieve with discrete solutions.
