Triple Differential Twisted-Pair Driver with
Common-Mode Sync Encoding
The EL4543 is a high bandwidth triple differential amplifier
with integrated encoding of video sync signals. The inputs
are suitable for handling high speed video or other
communications signals in either single-ended or differential
form, and the common-mode input range extends all the way
to the negative rail enabling ground-referenced signalling in
single supply applications. The high bandwidth enables
differential signalling onto standard twisted-pair or coax with
very low harmonic distortion, while internal feedback
ensures balanced gain and phase at the outputs reducing
radiated EMI and harmonics.
Embedded logic encodes standard video horizontal and
vertical sync signals onto the common mode of the twisted
pair(s), transmitting this additional information without the
requirement for additional buffers or transmission lines. The
EL4543 enables significant system cost savings when
compared with discrete line driver alternatives.

EL4543
Operational Description and Application
Information
Introduction
The EL4543 is designed to differentially drive composite
RGB video signals onto twisted pair lines, while
simultaneously encoding horizontal and vertical sync signals
as common mode output. The entire video signal plus sync
can therefore be transmitted on 3 twisted pairs of wire. When
utilizing CAT-5 cable, the 4th available twisted pair can be
used for transmission of audio, data or control information.
The distribution of composite video over standard CAT-5
cable enables enormous cost and labor savings compared
with traditional coaxial cable, when considering both the
relative low price and ease of pulling CAT-5 cable.
Functional Description
The EL4543 provides three fully differential high-speed
amplifiers, suitable for driving high-resolution composite
video signals onto twisted pair or standard coaxial cable.
The input common-mode range extends to the negative rail,
allowing simple ground-referenced input termination to be
used with a single supply. The amplifiers provide a fixed gain
of +2 to compensate for standard video cable termination
schemes. Horizontal and Vertical sync signals (H
V
) are passed to an internal Logic Encoding Block to
SYNC
encode the sync information as three discrete signals of
different voltage levels. Generally, in differential amplifiers an
external V
pin is used to control the common mode level
REF
of the differential output; in the case of the EL4543 the V
of each of the three internal amplifier channels receives a
signal from the Logic Encoding Block with encoded H
and V
information. The final output consists of three
SYNC
fully differential video signals, with sync encoded on the
common mode of each of the three RGB differential signals.
H
SYNC
and V
can easily be separated from the
SYNC
differential output signals, decoded and transmitted along
with the RGB video signals to the video monitor.

illustrates the logic levels. This eliminates EMI radiation into
any common mode signal along the twisted pairs of CAT 5
cable.

Note RCM is the common mode termination to allow

RCM.

Video Transmission
The EL4543 is a twisted pair differential line driver directed
at the transmission of Video Signals through cables up to
100 feet; however, as signal losses increase with
transmission line length the EL4543 will need additional
support to equalize video signals along longer twisted pair
transmission lines. A full solution to accomplish this is the
SXGA Video Transmission System presented in the EL4543
Data Sheet. Note the inclusion of the EL9110 for signal
equalization of up to 1000ft of CAT-5 cable and common
mode extraction; see Data Sheet for additional information
on the EL9110.
Long Distance Video Transmission
The SXGA Video Transmission System makes it possible to
transmit Red, Green and Blue (RGB) video plus sync up to
1000 feet through CAT-5 cable. The input to the SXGA Video
Transmission System is the output of a video source
transmitting RGB video signals plus sync. The signals are
received initially by the EL4543; which converts the single
11

EL4543
ended input RGB signals to three fully differential waveforms
with sync encoded on the discrete common modes of each
color channel and then drives the signals through a length of
CAT-5 cable. The signal is received by the EL9110, which
can provide 6-pole equalization for both high and low
frequency signal transmission line losses. Then the EL9110
converts the differential RGB video signals back into single
ended format while extracting the common mode component
for decoding. The single ended RGB signal is taken directly
from the output of the El9110 and is ready for the output
device. The Common Mode Decoder Circuit receives the
common mode signals directly from each of the three
EL9110's common mode output pin, decodes and transmits
H
SYNC
and V
to the output device.

The EL4543 encodes H

illustrates that the sum of the common mode voltages results
in a fixed DC level with no AC content; thus eliminating EMI
interference.

Output Drive Protection
The EL4543 has internal short circuit protection set typically
at 60mA. if the output is shorted for extended periods of time
the increased power dissipation will eventually destroy the
part. To realize maximum reliability the output current should
never exceed 60mA. The 50Ω series back load matching
resistor provides additional protection.
Supply Voltage
While the EL4543 can be operated on ±5V split rails, single
supply 0V to 5V is the most common usage. It is very
important to note that the input logic thresholds are relative
to the negative supply pin, and therefore single supply,
ground referenced logic will not work when driving the
EL4543 on split rails. The amplifiers have an input common
mode range from 0V to 3.5V with a 0V to 5V supply. The
common mode output DC level range is a linear function of
the power supply, see Data Sheet Figures 15, 16, 17 &18.
The common mode input switching threshold as well as the
Enable/Disable input is a linear function of the supply
voltage, see Data Sheet Figure 1.
Disable and Power Down
The EL4543 provides an enable disable function which
powers down, logic input high, in 900ns and powers up, logic
input low, in 212ns. Disabled the amplifiers supply current is
reduced to 1.8mA (Positive Supply) and 0mA (Negative
Supply). Note that Enable/Disable threshold is a linear
function of the supply voltage levels. The Enable/Disable
threshold voltage level is compatible with standard
TTL/CMOS and referenced to the lowest supply potential.
Proper Layout Technique
A critical concern with any PCB layout is the establishment
of a “healthy” ground plane. It is imperative to provide
ground planes terminated close to inputs to minimize input
capacitance. Additionally, the ground plane can be
selectively removed from inputs to prevent load and supply
currents from flowing near the input nodes.
In general the following guidelines apply to all PCB layout:
• Keep all traces as short as possible.
• Keep power supply bypass components as close to the
chip as possible - extremely close.
• Create a healthy ground with low impedance and
continuous ground pathways available to all grounded
components board-wide.
• In high frequency applications on multi-level boards try to
keep one level of board with continuous ground plane and
minimum via cutouts - providing it is affordable.
• Provide extremely short loops from power pin to ground.
• If it is affordable, a ferrite bead is always of benefit to
isolate device from Power Supply noise and the rest of the
circuit from the noise of the device.
Power Dissipation Calculation
When switching at high speeds, or driving heavy loads, the
EL4543 drive capability is ultimately limited by the rise in die
temperature brought about by internal power dissipation. For
reliable operation die temperature must be kept below T
(125°C). It is necessary to calculate the power dissipation for
a given application prior to selecting package type. Power
dissipation may be calculated:

Application Circuit
Video Transmission Along CAT-5 Cable
VGA input RGB plus sync is connected with 75Ω termination
to the inputs of the EL4543. Single-ended RGB video is
differential signals, respectively. The 50Ω output-terminated
EL4543 drives the differential RGB with sync encoded
common-mode to CAT-5 twisted pair cables. Note this
system, without signal frequency equalization, will
satisfactorily transmit along up to 200 feet of CAT-5 twistedpair. For longer cable lengths, frequency and gain
equalization to compensate for signal degradation is
recommended (EL9110) and a delay line technology
(EL9115) to adjust for phase mismatch between signals at
the receiving end.

EL4543/EL5375/EL8201 CAT-5 RGB +
Sync Video Transmission System
Introducing a low cost turn-key system for transmitting
component video over short to moderate CAT-5 cable
lengths (1 to 500 feet) with selectable cable loss and skew
compensation. Using only 3 of the 4 pairs in standard CAT-5
th
the 4
pair is available for audio, function control or data
transmission; an additional benefit.
RGB video plus sync (5 channels) is received at the VGA
terminal and presented single ended to the EL4543. The
EL4543 converts single ended RGB into fully differential
signals on three twisted pairs. Sync is encoded on the three
RGB differential signals as differential common mode and
then drives the differential signals with encoded sync
through CAT-5 cable. The common mode of the signals is
extracted from the differential signals with a passive network
of resistors and passed to the EL8201 for sync decoding.
The differential signal is passed directly to the EL5375 where
it is amplified, converted back into single ended format.
Signal attenuation occurs in all transmission lines as a
function of increasing cable length; this application system
utilizes individual channel 2-pole compensation for cable
lengths of 150, 300 and 500 feet. Additionally, the
compensation network can be manipulated to provide some
measure of cable prop delay skew compensation for slight
differences in cable lengths between CAT-5 pairs. Cable
skew can best be done around the 300 ft range by under
compensating the shortest color pair (color on the left side of
a vertical line) and over compensate the longest color pair
(color on the right side of a vertical line). Around 450 ft only
the shortest color pair can be under compensated.
The board for the driver and receiver should use strip lines
or strip line waveguides for the inputs and outputs of the
drivers and receivers. The 75Ω input and output strip lines
waveguide on 0.06 inch epoxy board with ground back plain
should be 0.016 inch wide with 0.01 inch space to ground
area around them. The diff pair strip line waveguides should
be two 0.045 inch 50Ω lines spaced 0.01 inch apart and
spaced 0.01 inch to ground area around them. This is a
general guide and size values may very for many reasons.
The receiver feedback and gain resistor network which goes
directly to the minus input should be connected very close
with minimal trace length and minimal capacitance to
ground. The ground plane on the backside of the board, in
back of these resistors and the minus input pin should be
removed as well.
