DIFFERENTIAL NOISE PERFORMANCE
The THS6214 is designed to be used as a differential
driver in xDSL applications. Therefore, it is important
to analyze the noise in such a configuration.
Figure 87 shows the op amp noise model for the
differential configuration.

Model
As a reminder, the differential gain is expressed as:
G_D = 1 +
2 ´ R_F
R_G
(16)
The output noise can be expressed as shown below:
E_O =
2 ´ G_D2 ´ e_N² + (i_N ´ R_S)² + 4kTR_S + 2(i_IR_F)² + 2(4kTR_FG_D)
(17)
Dividing this expression by the differential noise gain
(G_D = (1 + 2R_F/R_G)) gives the equivalent input
referred spot noise voltage at the noninverting input,
as shown in Equation 18.
E_O =
2 ´ e_N² + (i_N ´ R_S)² + 4kTR_S

Evaluating these equations for the THS6214 ADSL
circuit and component values of Figure 82 gives a
total output spot noise voltage of 38.9nV/√Hz and a
total equivalent input spot noise voltage of 7nV/√Hz.
In order to minimize the output noise as a result of
the noninverting input bias current noise, it is
recommended to keep the noninverting source
impedance as low as possible.
DC ACCURACY AND OFFSET CONTROL
A current-feedback op amp such as the THS6214
provides exceptional bandwidth in high gains, giving
fast pulse settling but only moderate dc accuracy.
The Electrical Characteristics show an input offset
voltage comparable to high-speed, voltage-feedback
amplifiers; however, the two input bias currents are
somewhat higher and are unmatched. While bias
current cancellation techniques are very effective with
most voltage-feedback op amps, they do not
generally reduce the output dc offset for wideband
current-feedback op amps. Because the two input
bias currents are unrelated in both magnitude and
polarity, matching the input source impedance to
reduce error contribution to the output is ineffective.
Evaluating the configuration of Figure 81, using a
worst-case condition at +25°C input offset voltage
and the two input bias currents, gives a worst-case
output offset range equal to:
V_OFF = ±(NG × V_OS(MAX)) + (I_BN × R_S/2 × NG)
±(I_BI × R_F)
where NG = noninverting signal gain
= ±(10 × 5mV) + (3.5µA × 25Ω × 10)
±(1.24kΩ × 45µA)
= ±50mV + 0.875mV ± 55.8mV
V_OFF = –104.92mV to +106.67mV
