This is a Line Driver project. This single-ended-to-differential line driver is designed for high-speed communications. Using current feedback for greater bandwidth, this project delivers full-power bandwidth up to 405MHz and features slew rates as high as 6500V/µs. The MAX4447 has a fixed gain of +2V/V and a small-signal bandwidth of 430MHz. A low-power enable mode reduces current consumption below 5.5mA and places the outputs in a high-impedance state, Jumper J1 is provided to selectively enable and disable. The circuit can deliver differential output swings of ±6.2V from ±5V supplies with a 50Ω load. Excellent differential gain/phase and noise specifications make these project ideal for a wide variety of video and RF signal-processing and transmission applications. It is advisable to use gold-plated PCB and high-quality connectors for high-frequency operation.

Twisted-Pair Line Driver

The project is compatible and can be paired with our Ultra-High-Speed, Low-Distortion – Differential-to-Single-Ended Line Receivers with Enable that has been published in past.

The project is well-suited to drive twisted-pair cables. It is advisable to use a high-quality twisted pair cable like CAT5. The 24AWG telephone wire widely used, produces losses at higher frequencies.
