DESCRIPTION
3GHz, Low Noise,
Rail-to-Rail Input Differential
Amplifi er/Driver
The LTC
®
6406 is a very low noise, low distortion, fully
differential input/output amplifi er optimized for 3V, single
supply operation. The LTC6406 input common mode range
is rail-to-rail, while the output common mode voltage is
independently adjustable by applying a voltage on the
V
OCM
pin. This makes the LTC6406 ideal for level-shifting
signals with a wide common mode range for driving 12-bit
to 16-bit single supply, differential input ADCs.
A 3GHz gain-bandwidth product results in 70dB linearity for
50MHz input signals. The LTC6406 is unity-gain stable and
the closed-loop bandwidth extends from DC to 800MHz.
The output voltage swing extends from near ground to
2V, to be compatible with a wide range of ADC converter
input requirements. The LTC6406 draws only 18mA, and
has a hardware shutdown feature which reduces current
consumption to 300μA.
The LTC6406 is available in a compact 3mm × 3mm 16-pin
leadless QFN package as well as an 8-lead MSOP package,
and operates over a –40°C to 85°C temperature range.
