FULLY DIFFERENTIAL LINE DRIVERS
The THS4500 family of amplifiers can be used as
high-frequency, high-swing differential line drivers.
The high power-supply voltage rating (16.5 V
absolute maximum) allows operation on a single 12-V
or a single 15-V supply. The high supply voltage,
coupled with the ability to provide differential outputs,
enables the ability to drive 26 V_PP into reasonably
heavy loads (250 Ω or greater). The circuit in
Figure 104 illustrates the THS4500 family of devices
used as high-speed line drivers. For line driver
applications, close attention must be paid to thermal
design constraints because of the typically high level
of power dissipation.

FILTERING WITH FULLY DIFFERENTIAL
AMPLIFIERS
Similar to single-ended counterparts, fully differential
amplifiers have the ability to couple filtering
functionality with voltage gain. Numerous filter
topologies can be based on fully differential
amplifiers. Several of these are outlined in the
application report A Differential Circuit Collection
(literature number SLOA064), referenced at the end
of this data sheet. The circuit below depicts a simple,
two-pole, low-pass filter applicable to many different
types of systems. The first pole is set by the resistors
and capacitors in the feedback paths, and the second
pole is set by the isolation resistors and the capacitor
across the outputs of the isolation resistors.

Often, filters like these are used to eliminate
broadband noise and out-of-band distortion products
in signal acquisition systems. It should be noted that
the increased load placed on the output of the
amplifier by the second low-pass filter has a
