To achieve the specified output power, the requirement for the output current of the line driven amplifier will correspondingly increase. Therefore, according to the requirements in the table above, the following indicators should be met when selecting ADSL line driver amplifiers:
With the rapid growth of the xDSL market, several semiconductor companies have launched line driven amplifiers suitable for xDSL applications, including Analog Device’s AD815 and AD8016, Linear Tech’s LT1210, TI’s THS6002 and THS6012. AD8016, as a low-power and high output current dual amplifier designed specifically for the line driver interface of xDSL systems, is currently one of the best xDSL line drivers on the market. AD8016 is manufactured using ADI’s patented technology – dielectric isolation ultra high speed complementary bipolar XFCB process, and adopts current feedback form, thus possessing the characteristics of high bandwidth, high driving current, and low distortion that meet the requirements of xDSL applications. AD8016 also has two power management pins PWDN1 and PWDN2, which can be set to logic+1 respectively; 0 “can operate at four power consumption levels (100%, 60%, 40%, 25%), and can flexibly adapt to various ADSL standard applications from the central office to the user end.
