The EL2140C 2141C is a very high bandwidth amplifier whose
output is in differential form and is thus primarily targeted for
applications such as driving twisted pair lines or any applica-
tion where common mode injection is likely to occur The input
signal can be in either single-ended or differential form but the
output is always in differential form
On the EL2141C two feedback inputs provide the user with the
ability to set the device gain (stable at minimum gain of two)
whereas the EL2140C comes with a fixed gain of two
The output common mode level is set by the reference pin
(V
REF
) which has a
b
3 dB bandwidth of over 100 MHz Gen-
erally this pin is grounded but it can be tied to any voltage
reference
The transmission of ADSL HDSL signals requires very low
distortion amplification so this amplifier was designed with
this as a primary goal The actual signal distortion levels de-
pend upon input and output signal amplitude as well as the
output load impedance (See distortion data inside )
Both outputs (V
OUT
V
OUTB
) are short circuit protected to
withstand temporary overload condition
Applications
Twisted pair driver
Differential line driver
VGA over twisted pair
ADSL HDSL driver
Single ended to differential
amplification
Transmission of analog signals in
a noisy environment
