PRODUCTION DATA
The THS6232 has five different functional modes set by the BIAS-1 and BIAS-2 pins. Table 6-1 shows the truth table for the device mode pin configuration and the associated description of each mode.
BIAS-1 | BIAS-2 | FUNCTION | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 0 | Full-bias mode (100%) | Amplifiers on with lowest distortion possible |
1 | 0 | Mid-bias mode (78%) | Amplifiers on with power savings and a reduction in distortion performance |
0 | 1 | Low-bias mode (60%) | Amplifiers on with enhanced power savings and a reduction of overall performance |
0 (IADJ = float) |
1 (IADJ = float) |
Ultra-low-bias mode (40%) | Amplifiers on with highest power savings and a reduction of overall performance |
1 | 1 | Shutdown mode | Amplifiers off and output is high impedance |
If the PLC application requires switching the line driver between all five power modes, and if the PLC application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) has two control bits, then the two control bits can be connected to the bias pins BIAS-1 and BIAS-2 for switching between any of the five power modes. For the ultra-low-bias mode, float the IADJ pin to activate the mode. Most PLC applications, however, only require the line driver to switch between one active power mode and the shutdown mode. This type of 1-bit power mode control is illustrated in Figure 7-1, where the line driver can be switched between the full-bias and shutdown modes using just one control bit from the PLC ASIC.
