LTC6401-26 1.6GHz Low Noise, Low Distortion Differential ADC Driver for DC-140MHz FEATURES DESCRIPTION 1.6GHz 3dB Bandwidth The LTC 6401-26 is a high-speed differential ampli er Fixed Gain of 20V/V (26dB) targeted at processing signals from DC to 140MHz. The 85dBc IMD3 at 70MHz (Equivalent OIP3 = 46.5dBm) part has been speci cally designed to drive 12-, 14- and 72dBc IMD3 at 140MHz (Equivalent OIP3 = 40dBm) 16-bit ADCs with low noise and low distortion, but can also 1nV/Hz Internal Op Amp Noise be used as a general-purpose broadband gain block. 1.5nV/Hz Total Input Referred Noise The LTC6401-26 is easy to use, with minimal support 6.8dB Noise Figure circuitry required. The output common mode voltage is Differential Inputs and Outputs set using an external pin, independent of the inputs, which 50 Input Impedance eliminates the need of transformers or AC-coupling ca- 2.85V to 3.5V Supply Voltage pacitors in many applications. The gain is internally xed 45mA Supply Current (135mW) at 26dB (20V/V). 1V to 1.6V Output Common Mode, Adjustable The LTC6401-26 saves space and power compared to DC- or AC-Coupled Operation alternative solutions using IF gain blocks and transform- Max Differential Output Swing 4.7V P-P ers.
