High output 600 Ohm line driver


Posted on Jul 13, 2012

The circuit has a `floating` output, i.e., it behaves like an isolated transformer winding, with the output amplitude remaining unchanged whether the center or either end of the load is grounded. This is achieved by making Z-out, common mode, infinite. The circuit consists of two current-sources in push-pull. Since each has infinite output Z, the common mode output impedance is also infinite. Connecting a resistor between the non-inverting terminals of the op amps reduces the differential Z-out without affecting the Z-common-mode. Since the output is floating, if the load is also floating there is no output ground reference, which results in malfunction.

This can be corrected by reducing the common-mode slightly. R7 fulfills this function. All resistors should be of close tolerance to give a good balance. The line driver provides +24 dB from ± 12 V or +16 dB from ±6 V supplies.
