GAIN ADJUST
The gain of the ADA4960-1 is set with a single resistor, R
G
,
connected across the IIP and IIN pins. Because the output
impedance is 150 Ω, the load affects the gain. The voltage
gain can be calculated for both differential and single-ended
inputs as follows:

BANDWIDTH EXTENSION
The bandwidth of the ADA4960-1 can be extended for both
differential and single-ended input configurations by connecting
a capacitor, C
S
, in parallel with the gain-setting resistor, R
G
, as
shown in Figure 35.

ADC INTERFACING
The ADA4960-1 is a high speed amplifier with linearity
performance to drive high speed ADCs up to 1 GHz. Several
options are available to the designer to interface with an ADC.
The ADA4960-1 in Figure 38 is a differential input configuration,
using an input balun to provide the differential input signal. The
25 Ω resistors provide the input source match. The ADA4960-1
outputs can be directly connected to the ADC inputs as long as
the ADC input common mode is within the output common-
mode range of the ADA4960-1. The ADC V
CM
output pin is
connected to the ADA4960-1 VOCM input pin to align the
ADA4960-1 output voltages with the ADC inputs.
A 100 Ω resistor across the outputs of the ADA4960-1 enhances
system bandwidth and distortion performance when the ADA4960-1
is driving an ADC with high input impedance. Lighter load
resistance improves distortion performance and lowers the
overall bandwidth.

Figure 38. Differential Input Configuration Directly Driving the ADC
The ADA4960-1 in Figure 39 is a single-ended input configura-
tion. The input is matched to the source with 50 Ω resistors. The
ADA4960-1 outputs can be directly connected to the ADC inputs
as long as the ADC input common mode is within the output
common-mode range of the ADA4960-1.

Figure 40. Single-Ended Input Configuration, DC-Coupled Inputs and

When the ADC input common mode is outside the output
common-mode range of the ADA4960-1, the outputs can be
ac-coupled to provide coupling, as shown in Figure 41.

LINE DRIVER APPLICATIONS
The user accessible gain adjust and bandwidth extension
features allow configuration of the ADA4960-1 for line driver
and channel equalization applications from dc to 6.5 Gbps.
Because of its extremely low distortion performance and high
linearity, the ADA4960-1 can be deployed in cable and backplane
channels to extend channel length and improve signaling
margin for serial links using receive equalization and transmit
pre-emphasis. The ADA4960-1 unidirectional signal path is
protocol and encoding agnostic, supporting myriad signaling
types such as NRZ and PAM2/4/8/N, coded (8b/10b), uncoded,
and out-of-band (SATA-OOB) data.

OVERDRIVE AND RECOVERY
When overdriven, the ADA4960-1 limits its outputs to 3.4 V
typical with no overshoot, as shown in Figure 42. This feature
protects the ADC from transients, eliminating the need for
additional external clamping at the inputs of the ADC.
