THS6132

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maximum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "recommended operating conditions" is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) V_CC(H) must always be greater than or equal to V_CC(L) for proper operation. Class-AB mode operation occurs when V_CC(H) is equal to V_CC(L) and is considered acceptable operation for the THS6132 even though it is not fully specified in this mode of operation.
(3) The THS6132 incorporates a PowerPAD on the underside of the chip. This acts as a heatsink and must be connected to a thermally dissipating plane for proper power dissipation. Failure to do so may result in exceeding the maximum junction temperature that could permanently damage the device. See TI Technical Brief SLMA002 for more information about utilizing the PowerPAD thermally enhanced package.

The THS6132 is a Class-G current feedback differential line driver ideal for full rate ADSL DMT systems. Its extremely low power consumption of 600 mW or lower is ideal for ADSL systems that must achieve high densities in ADSL central office rack applications. The unique patent pending architecture of the THS6132 allows the quiescent current to be much lower than existing line drivers while still achieving very high linearity.

In addition, the multiple bias settings of the amplifiers THS6132 allow for even lower power consumption for line lengths where the full performance of the amplifier is not required.

The output voltage of THS6132 swing has been vastly improved over first generation Glass-G amplifiers and allows the use of lower power supply voltages that help conserve power. For maximum flexibility, the THS6132 can be configured in classical Class-AB mode requiring only as few as one power supply.
