BALANCED TRANSFORMER DRIVER
Transformers are among the oldest devices used to perform a
single-ended-to-differential conversion (and vice versa). Trans-
formers can also perform the additional functions of galvanic
isolation, step-up or step-down of voltages, and impedance
transformation. For these reasons, transformers always find
uses in certain applications.
However, when driving the transformer in a single-ended
manner, there is an imbalance at the output due to the parasitics
inherent in the transformer. The primary (or driven) side of the
transformer has one side at dc potential (usually ground), while
the other side is driven. This can cause problems in systems that
require good balance of the transformer’s differential output
signals.
If the interwinding capacitance (C
uniformly distributed, a signal from the driving source couples
to the secondary output terminal that is closest to the primary’s
driven side. On the other hand, no signal is coupled to the
opposite terminal of the secondary because its nearest primary
terminal is not driven (see Figure 43). The exact amount of this
imbalance depends on the particular parasitics of the trans-
former, but is mostly a problem at higher frequencies.
The balance of a differential circuit can be measured by
connecting an equal-valued resistive voltage divider across the
differential outputs and then measuring the center point of the
circuit with respect to ground. Since the two differential outputs
are supposed to be of equal amplitude, but 180° opposite phase,
there should be no signal present for perfectly balanced outputs.
The circuit in Figure 43 shows a Mini-Circuits® T1-6T
transformer connected with its primary driven single-endedly
and the secondary connected with a precision voltage divider
across its terminals. The voltage divider is made up of two
500 Ω, 0.005% precision resistors. The voltage V
also equal to the ac common-mode voltage, is a measure of how
closely the outputs are balanced.
Figure 45 compares the transformer being driven single-
endedly by a signal generator and being driven differentially
using an AD8138. The top signal trace of Figure 45 shows the
balance of the single-ended configuration, while the bottom
shows the differentially driven balance response. The 100 MHz
balance is 35 dB better when using the AD8138.

The well-balanced outputs of the AD8138 provide a drive signal
to each of the transformer’s primary inputs that are of equal
amplitude and 180° out of phase. Therefore, depending on how
the polarity of the secondary is connected, the signals that
conduct across the interwinding capacitance either both assist
the transformer’s secondary signal equally, or both buck the
secondary signals. In either case, the parasitic effect is
symmetrical and provides a well-balanced transformer output
(see Figure 45).
