The DRV1101 is fixed gain differential line driver
designed for very low distortion operation when driv-
ing DSL line transformers. It is designed for use as the
upstream line driver for ADSL G.Lite, and as both
upstream and downstream line drivers in CAP sys-
tems. Operating on a single 5V supply, the DRV1101
can supply up to 230mA peak output current. The
output voltage can swing up to 9.5Vp-p on a single 5V
supply. In ADSL G.Lite applications, DRV1101 can
supply up to 10dBm average
line
power with a crest
factor of 5.3 for a peak line power delivered of
approximately 25dBm. It is packaged in a 8-lead
SOIC.

DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may
be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
INTERNAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
The DRV1101 is a true differential input to differential
output fixed gain amplifier. Operating on a single +5V
power supply, it provides an internally fixed differential
gain of +3V/V and a common-mode gain of +1V/V from the
input to output. Fabricated on an advanced CMOS process,
it offers very high input impedance along with a low imped-
ance 230mA output drive. Figure 1 shows a simplified
internal block diagram.

example, the specifications show that on +5V supply the
DRV1101 will deliver 6.0Vp-p into 15Ω. The peak load
power under this condition is (6.0Vp-p/2)

/15Ω = 600mW.
POWER SUPPLY
The DRV1101 is designed for operation on a single +5V
supply. For loads > 200Ω, each output will swing rail to rail.
This gives a peak-to-peak differential output swing that is
approximately = 2 • V
DD
. For best distortion performance,
the power supply should be decoupled to a good ground
plane immediately adjacent to the package with a 0.1µF
capacitor. In addition, a larger electrolytic supply decoupling
capacitor (6.8µF) should be near the package but can be
shared among multiple devices.
DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE APPLICATIONS
The DRV1101 is designed for the high power, low distor-
tion, requirements of a twisted pair driver in digital commu-
nications applications. These include ADSL (Asymmetrical
Digital Subscriber Lines), and RADSL (Rate adaptive ADSL).
Figure 3 shows a typical transformer coupled xDSL line
driver configuration.
The DRV1101 is recommended as the upstream driver (CPE
equipment) for ADSL G.Lite systems. These system require
an rms line power of 10dBm with a voltage crest factor of
5.3 (crest factor is the ratio of peak to rms voltage). A
voltage crest factor of 5.3 is equivalent to a power crest
factor of about 15dB. Therefore, the peak power required at
the line for G.Lite is 25dBm. Using the basic circuit shown
in Figure 3, DRV1101 will provide this power to the line
