TS615
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
A proper power supply bypassing comes very im-
portant for optimizing the performance in high fre-
quency range. Bypass capacitors should be
placed as close as possible to the IC pins to im-
prove high frequency bypassing. A capacitor
greater than 1µF is necessary to minimize the dis-
tortion. For a better quality bypassing a capacitor
of 10nF is added following the same condition of
implementation. These bypass capacitors must be
incorporated for the negative and the positive sup-
ply.

The TS615 operates from 12V down to 5V power
supplies. This is achieved with a dual power sup-
ply of ±6V and ±2.5V or a single power supply of
12V and 5V referenced to the ground. In the case
of this asymmetrical supplying, a new biasing is
22/27
necessary to assume a positive output dynamic
range between 0V and +VCC supply rails. Consid-
ering the values of VOH and VOL, the amplifier will
provide an output dynamic from +0.5V to 10.6V on
25Ω load for a 12V supplying, from 0.45V to 3.8V
on 10Ω load for a 5V supplying.
The amplifier must be biased with a mid supply
(nominally +VCC/2), in order to maintain the DC
component of the signal at this value. Several op-
tions are possible to provide this bias supply (such
as a virtual ground using an operational amplifier),
or a two-resistance divider which is the cheapest
solution. A high resistance value is required to lim-
it the current consumption. On the other hand, the
current must be high enough to bias the non-in-
verting input of the amplifier. If we consider this
bias current (30µA max.) as the 1% of the current
through the resistance divider to keep a stable mid
supply, two resistances of 2.2kΩ can be used in
the case of a 12V power supply and two resistanc-
es of 820Ω can be used in the case of a 5V power
supply.
The input provides a high pass filter with a break
frequency below 10Hz which is necessary to re-
move the original 0 volt DC component of the input
signal, and to fix it at +VCC/2.
CHANNEL SEPARATION - CROSSTALK
The following figure show the crosstalk from an
amplifier to a second amplifier. This phenomenon,
accented in high frequencies, is unavoidable and
intrinsic of the circuit.
Nevertheless, the PCB layout has also an effect
on the crosstalk level. Capacitive coupling be-
tween signal wires, distance between critical sig-
nal nodes, power supply bypassing, are the most
significant points.
