The AD815 consists of two high speed amplifiers capable of supplying a minimum of 500 mA. They are typically configured as a differential driver enabling an output signal of 40 V p-p on ±15 V supplies. This can be increased further with the use of a coupling transformer with a greater than 1:1 turns ratio. The low harmonic distortion of -66 dB @ 1 MHz into 200 W combined with the wide bandwidth and high current drive make the differential driver ideal for communication applications.

The AD815 differential slew rate of 900 V/µs and high load drive are suitable for fast dynamic control of coils or transformers, and the video performance of 0.05% and 0.45° differential gain and phase into a load of 25 W enable up to 12 back-terminated loads to be driven.
