Coax cables with a typical impedance of 50W or 75W are used in many applications to ensure signal fidelity, and highspeed line drivers have the often difficult job of transmitting signals over these cables or over twisted pair lines. The most common way to drive coax cables is to use driver amplifiers with low-impedance voltage output, which operate with either voltage or current feedback. Now, however, the wideband OTAs, OPA660 and OPA2662, offer a highimpedance current output, giving engineers more flexibility and more options. Since both voltage and current outputs have their advantages and disadvantages, engineers can choose the method that provides the best compromise for their applications.
