Reference Design for Implementation of the Load Sharing Concept for Large-Signal Applications

TIDA-00023

Design files

Overview

Using the THS3091 high voltage, low distortion current-feedback op amp, this reference design showcases the technique and the benefits of configuring multiple op-amps in a load sharing configuration when driving high voltage signals into heavy loads.  Supported by a full scale application report, the design can be easily adjusted for a given application.

Features
  • 15V supply voltage
  • Up to 24VPP output swing
  • Third-Harmonic Distortion of 32dBc when driving a 20VPP, 70MHz sine wave into a 100Ω load (double-terminated 50Ω cable)
  • Second-Harmonic Distortion of 38dBc when driving a 20VPP, 70MHz sine wave into a 100Ω load (double-terminated 50Ω cable)
  • High Current Drive Capability (up to 400mA with two THS3091 op amps)
  • This reference design has been lab tested and is supported with design files and a design guide
