Setting the Quiescent Operating Current
product, dual voltage feedback amplifier with high output Power consumption and dissipation are critical concerns current drive capability, 500mA source and sink. The in multiport xDSL applications. Two pins, Shutdown LT6300 is ideal for use as a line driver in xDSL data (SHDN) and Shutdown Reference (SHDNREF), are pro- communication applications. The output voltage swing vided to control quiescent power consumption and allow has been optimized to provide sufficient headroom when for the complete shutdown of the driver. The quiescent operating from ±12V power supplies in full-rate ADSL current should be set high enough to prevent distortion applications. The LT6300 also allows for an adjustment of induced errors in a particular application, but not so high the operating current to minimize power consumption. In that power is wasted in the driver unnecessarily. A good addition, the LT6300 is available in a small footprint starting point to evaluate the LT6300 is to set the quiescent surface mount package to minimize PCB area. current to 10mA per amplifier. To minimize signal distortion, the LT6300 amplifiers are The internal biasing circuitry is shown in Figure 1.
