17 / 24 page AD8145 Rev. A | Page 17 of 24 INPUT CLAMPING A simple way to implement a clamp is to use a number of diodes in series. The resultant clamping voltage is then the sum of the clamping voltages of individual diodes. The differential input that is assigned to receive the input signal includes clamping diodes that limit the differential input swing to approximately 5.5 V p-p at 25°C. Because of this, the input and feedback stages should never be interchanged. A 1N4448 diode has a forward voltage of approximately 0.70 V to 0.75 V at typical current levels that are seen when it is being used as a clamp, and 2 pF maximum capacitance at 0 V bias. (The capacitance of a diode decreases as its reverse-bias voltage is increased.) The series connection of two 1N4448 diodes, therefore, has a clamping voltage of 1.4 V to 1.5 V. Figure 40 shows how to limit the differential input voltage applied to an AD8145 amplifier to ±1.4 V to ±1.5 V (2.8 V p-p to 3.0 V p-p). Note that the capacitance of the two series diodes is half that of one diode. Different numbers of series diodes can be used to obtain different clamping voltages. The supply current drawn by the AD8145 has a strong dependence on the input signal magnitude because the input transconductance stages operate with differential input signals that can be up to a few volts peak-to-peak. This behavior is distinctly different from that of traditional op amps, where the differential input signal is driven to essentially 0 V by negative feedback. For most applications, including receiving RGB video signals, the input signal magnitudes encountered are well within the safe operating limits of the AD8145 over its full power supply and operating temperature ranges. In some extreme applications where large differential and/or common-mode voltages are encountered, external clamping may be necessary. External common-mode clamping is also sometimes required when an unpowered AD8145 receives a signal from an active driver. In this case, external diodes are required when the current drawn by the internal ESD diodes cannot be kept to less than 5 mA. RT is the differential termination resistor, and the series resistances, RS, limit the current into the diodes. The series resistors should be highly matched in value to preserve high frequency CMRR.

Using Two 1N4448 Diodes in Series as a Clamp Many other nonlinear devices can be used as clamps. The best choice for a particular application depends upon the desired clamping voltage, response time, parasitic capacitance, and other factors. When using external differential-mode clamping, it is important to ensure that the series resistors (RS), the sum of the parasitic capacitance of the clamping devices, and the input capacitance of the AD8145 are small enough to preserve the desired signal bandwidth. Figure 39. Differential-Mode Clamping with G = 1 The positive and negative clamps are nonlinear devices that exhibit very low impedance when the voltage across them reaches a critical threshold (clamping voltage), thereby limiting the voltage across the AD8145 input. The positive clamp has a positive threshold, and the negative clamp has a negative threshold. A diode is a simple example of such a clamp. Schottky diodes generally have lower clamping voltages than typical signal diodes. The clamping voltage should be larger than the largest expected signal amplitude, with enough margin to ensure that the received signal passes without being distorted. |
