Product details
Overview
ADA4311-1ARHZ from Analog Devices is a dual-channel, current-feedback operational amplifier optimized as a high-current line driver for broadband applications. It delivers 310 MHz −3 dB bandwidth (G = +5, RL = 50 Ω), 1050 V/μs slew rate, and 20.6 Vp-p differential output swing into 100 Ω from a 12 V supply-enabling use in PLC, twisted-pair, and video line driving where high linearity and low-impedance drive are required.
For engineers reviewing the ADA4311-1ARHZ datasheet, ADA4311-1ARHZ pinout, ADA4311-1ARHZ application, or ADA4311-1ARHZ equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, power-mode-dependent bandwidth/distortion trade-offs, thermal pad grounding requirements, and validated alternatives for home networking, powerline communications, and I/Q channel amplification.
Technical Context
The ADA4311-1ARHZ implements a dual current-feedback architecture with transimpedance gain (TZ) of 4–35 MΩ depending on load, enabling near-constant bandwidth vs. gain behavior. Its CMOS-compatible PD0/PD1 pins configure four discrete power modes-full (11.8 mA/amp), ¾ (7.9 mA/amp), ½ (5.2 mA/amp), and shutdown (1.3 mA/amp)-with corresponding −3 dB bandwidths of 310 MHz, 220 MHz, 140 MHz, and high-Z output state.
It operates from a single 12 V supply, requires the exposed thermal pad to be connected to GND (serving as both thermal path and negative supply reference), and exhibits differential harmonic distortion of −98 dBc at 1 MHz and −72 dBc at 10 MHz under G = +5, 2 Vp-p, 100 Ω conditions-making it suitable for high-fidelity signal transmission over lossy media.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| −3 dB Bandwidth | 310 MHz at full power (PD1=0, PD0=0), drops to 140 MHz in ½-power mode-directly impacts usable signal frequency range in PLC or video systems. |
| Slew Rate | 1050 V/μs-supports fast transient response for high-speed data pulses without slewing-induced distortion. |
| Differential Output Swing | 20.6 Vp-p into 100 Ω from 12 V supply-enables robust signal margin over long twisted-pair lines. |
| Harmonic Distortion | −98 dBc @ 1 MHz, −72 dBc @ 10 MHz (G = +5, 2 Vp-p)-meets spectral purity requirements for narrowband PLC and ARB modulation. |
| Supply Current per Amp | 1.3 mA in shutdown, 11.8 mA in full power-allows dynamic power scaling to match system activity and thermal budget. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C-qualified for industrial and outdoor home networking equipment deployment. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 44°C/W (10-lead MINI_SO_EP)-requires PCB thermal pad connection to ground plane for safe operation at full power. |
Pinout & Package
The ADA4311-1ARHZ is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-lead MINI_SO_EP (RH-10-1) package with an exposed paddle that must be electrically connected to GND for proper operation and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +VS (Pin 1) | Positive supply input | Accepts 12 V single supply; no negative rail required due to internal biasing. |
| NC (Pin 2) | No connection | Must remain unconnected; no internal function or routing. |
| OUT A (Pin 3) | Amplifier A output | Differential output node; high-Z in shutdown mode (PD1=PD0=1). |
| −IN A (Pin 4) | Amplifier A inverting input | Current-feedback node; sensitive to layout parasitics-requires short, symmetric traces. |
| +IN A (Pin 5) | Amplifier A noninverting input | High-impedance input (500 kΩ); sets common-mode reference point. |
| PD0 (Pin 6) | Power-down control input | CMOS-level compatible (0–0.8 V low, 2–5 V high); selects power mode with PD1. |
| PD1 (Pin 7) | Power-down control input | Paired with PD0 to define full/¾/½/shutdown states; drives output to high-Z in shutdown. |
| +IN B (Pin 8) | Amplifier B noninverting input | Independent channel input; identical specs and layout rules as +IN A. |
| −IN B (Pin 9) | Amplifier B inverting input | Matched to −IN A; supports fully differential I/Q signal processing. |
| OUT B (Pin 10) | Amplifier B output | Complementary output to OUT A; enables true differential drive without external balun. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual current-feedback architecture | Enables stable wideband gain up to +20 with minimal bandwidth degradation-critical for multi-carrier PLC waveforms. |
| Four selectable power modes | Reduces total supply current from 23.6 mA (dual full power) to 1.8 mA (dual shutdown), extending system energy efficiency without sacrificing signal integrity. |
| 20.6 Vp-p differential output swing | Drives 100 Ω loads to >10 dBm peak power-meets EN 50065-1 spectral mask requirements for CENELEC A/B bands. |
| Exposed thermal pad (GND-connected) | Provides 44°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance-enables continuous full-power operation on standard 4-layer PCBs. |
| CMOS-compatible power-down pins | Eliminates need for level-shifting logic; interfaces directly with FPGA GPIO or microcontroller I/O for dynamic power gating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current, high-bandwidth line driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADA4312-1ARHZ | Same pinout, identical electrical specs, but rated for −40°C to +105°C extended temperature range and qualified for automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 2. | Required for under-hood or outdoor telecom infrastructure deployments exceeding +85°C ambient. | Select ADA4312-1ARHZ when operating above +85°C or requiring automotive qualification; otherwise ADA4311-1ARHZ suffices for industrial/home use. |
| THS3202DGN | Single-channel, 440 MHz bandwidth, 3000 V/μs slew rate, but no integrated power-down control and higher quiescent current (20 mA/amp). | Used where maximum speed is prioritized over power management or dual-channel integration. | Choose THS3202DGN only if single-channel operation and extreme slew rate outweigh need for dual-channel matching and dynamic power scaling. |
Compared with ADA4312-1ARHZ, the ADA4311-1ARHZ offers identical performance at lower cost and qualification scope, while THS3202DGN trades power control and channel matching for raw speed-making ADA4311-1ARHZ optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained dual-channel PLC and video line driver designs.

FAQ
What is the required connection for the exposed thermal pad on the ADA4311-1ARHZ?
The exposed thermal pad on the ADA4311-1ARHZ must be soldered to a solid GND plane on the PCB. This pad serves as both the thermal conduction path and the electrical reference for the negative supply-failure to connect it to GND renders the ADA4311-1ARHZ inoperable. Per Analog Devices' layout guidance, the pad should be tied to a low-thermal-resistance ground plane using multiple vias.
Does the ADA4311-1ARHZ support dual-supply operation?
No, the ADA4311-1ARHZ does not support dual-supply operation. Its exposed thermal pad is internally connected to the negative supply reference, and the datasheet explicitly states it "can only be used on a single supply." The device is specified for operation from +12 V (with GND as return), and all electrical characteristics-including output swing and distortion-are characterized under single-supply conditions.
How do the PD0 and PD1 pins affect bandwidth and distortion in the ADA4311-1ARHZ?
The PD0 and PD1 pins configure four power modes in the ADA4311-1ARHZ, each altering bandwidth and distortion: full power (310 MHz BW, −98 dBc @1 MHz), ¾ power (220 MHz, −95 dBc), ½ power (140 MHz, −86 dBc), and shutdown (high-Z output, 1.3 mA/amp). These trade-offs are measured and documented in Table 1 of the datasheet, enabling system-level optimization of speed, linearity, and power consumption.
Can the ADA4311-1ARHZ drive a 50 Ω load differentially?
Yes, the ADA4311-1ARHZ is characterized driving 50 Ω loads differentially, with −3 dB bandwidth of 310 MHz and slew rate of 1050 V/μs under those conditions. Its differential output swing is specified at 20.6 Vp-p into 100 Ω, and into 50 Ω it delivers ≥11.1 V single-ended swing (per Table 1), supporting standard 50 Ω RF test equipment and coaxial interface requirements.
What is the minimum recommended feedback resistor value for stable operation of the ADA4311-1ARHZ?
The minimum recommended feedback resistor value for stable operation of the ADA4311-1ARHZ is 499 Ω, as specified in the datasheet's Application Information section and Table 5. Using a smaller resistor risks peaking and instability due to excess phase shift; increasing it reduces closed-loop bandwidth. For G = +5, the recommended RG is 124 Ω-ensuring 310 MHz bandwidth and flat frequency response per Figure 5.
