which appears inductive at high frequencies. This
inductance forms an L-C resonant circuit with the
capacitive load, which causes peaking in the frequency
response and degrades the amplifier’s phase margin.
The MAX4144/MAX4145/MAX4146 drive capacitive
loads up to 25pF without oscillation. However, some
peaking may occur in the frequency domain (Figure 4).
To drive larger capacitance and reduce ringing, add an
isolation resistor (R
ISO
) between the amplifier’s output
and the load (Figure 5).
The value of R
ISO
depends on the circuit’s gain and the
capacitive load (Figures 6 and 7). With higher capaci-
tive values, bandwidth is dominated by the RC network
formed by R
ISO
and C
L
; the bandwidth of the amplifier
itself is much higher. Also note that the isolation resistor
forms a divider that decreases the voltage delivered to
the load.
Twisted-Pair Line Receiver
The MAX4144/MAX4145/MAX4146 are well suited as
receivers in twisted-pair xDSL or NTSC/PAL video
applications. The standard 24AWG telephone wire
widely used in these applications is a lossy medium for
high-frequency signals. The losses in NTSC video
applications are almost 15dB per 1000 feet (Figure 8).

TWISTED-PAIR-TO-COAX CABLE CONVERTER
Losses are higher at higher frequencies, contributing to
severe pulse-edge rounding in digital applications. The
nominal impedance of twisted-pair telephone wire is
110Ω.
The MAX4145/MAX4146, with variable gain up to
+10V/V and +100V/V, respectively, can be used to
compensate for cable losses. In the graph shown in
Figure 8, the cable characteristics are such that the
video-chroma frequency loss is almost 15dB greater
than the low-frequency loss. The losses can be com-
pensated for by using the RC-shaping network (Figure
9).
A 560Ω resistance and a 100pF capacitance shape the
MAX4146 gain to inversely match the frequency of the
1000 feet of telephone cable. The differential gain and
phase, using the circuit shown in Figure 9, is 0.55%
and 0.18°, respectively.
