Power Supplies
The LT6555 is optimized for ±5V supplies but can be
operated on as little as ±2.25V or a single 4.5V supply and
as much as ±6V or a single 12V supply. Internally, each
supply is independent to improve channel isolation. Do
not leave any supply pins disconnected or the part may
not function correctly!
Enable/Shutdown
The LT6555 has a shutdown mode controlled by the EN
pin and referenced to the DGND pin. If the amplifier will
be enabled at all times, the EN pin can be connected
directly to DGND. If the enable function is desired, either
driving the pin above 2V or allowing the internal 46k pull-
up resistor to pull the EN pin to the top rail will disable the
amplifier. When disabled, the DC output impedance will
rise to approximately 360 through the internal feedback
and gain resistors. Supply current into the amplifier in the
disabled state will be:

In dual supply cases where V
+
is less than 4.5V, DGND
should be connected to a potential below ground, such as
V
. Since the EN and SEL pins are referenced to DGND,
they may need to be pulled below ground in those cases.
In single supply applications above 5.5V, an additional
resistor may be needed from the EN pin to DGND if the pin
is ever allowed to float. For example, on a 12V single
supply, a 33k resistor would protect the pin from floating
too high while still allowing the internal pull-up resistor to
disable the part.
On dual ±2.25V supplies, connecting the DGND pin to V
is the only way of ensuring that V
+
– V
DGND
4.5V.
The DGND pin should not be pulled above the EN pin since
doing so will turn on an ESD protection diode. If the EN pin
voltage is forced a diode drop below the DGND pin, current
should be limited to 10mA or less.
The enable/disable times of the LT6555 are fast when
driven with a logic input. Turn on (from 50% EN input to
50% output) typically occurs in less than 50ns. Turn off is
slower, but is typically below 500ns.
Channel Select
The SEL pin uses the same internal threshold as the EN pin
and is also referenced to DGND. When the pin is logic low,
the channel A inputs are passed to the output. When the
pin is logic high, the channel B inputs are passed to the
output. The pin should not be floated but can be tied to
DGND to force the outputs to always be channel A or to V
+
(when less than 8V) to force the outputs to always be
channel B.

Input Considerations
The LT6555 uses input clamps referenced to the V
REF
pin
to prevent damage to the input stage on the unselected
channel. Three transistors in series limit the input voltage
to within three diode drops (±) from V
REF
. V
REF
is nomi-
nally set to half of the sum of the supplies by the 40k
resistors. A simplified schematic is shown in Figure 1.
To improve clamping, the pin’s DC impedance should be
minimized by connecting the V
REF
pin directly to ground in
the symmetric dual supply case with a common mode
voltage of 0V. While loaded output swing limits the useful
input voltage range in that case, if the common mode
voltage is not centered at ground or the input voltage
exceeds plus or minus three diodes from ground, an
external resistor to either supply can be added to shift the

REF
voltage to the desired level. The only way to cover the
full common mode voltage range of V
+ 1V to V
+
– 1V is
to shift V
REF
up or down. Note that on a single supply, the
unclamped input range limits the output low swing to 2V
(1V multiplied by the internal gain of 2).
The V
REF
pin can also be directly driven with a DC source.
Bypassing the V
REF
pin is not necessary.
The inputs can be driven beyond the point at which the
output clips so long as input currents are limited to less
than ±10mA. Continuing to drive the input beyond the
output limit can result in increased current drive and
slightly increased swing, but will also increase supply
current and may result in delays in transient response at
larger levels of overdrive.
Layout and Grounding
It is imperative that care is taken in PCB layout in order to
benefit from the very high speed and very low crosstalk of
the LT6555. Separate power and ground planes are highly
recommended and trace lengths should be kept as short
as possible. If input or output traces must be run over a
distance of several centimeters, they should use a con-
trolled impedance with matching series and shunt resis-
tances (nominally 75) to maintain signal fidelity.
Series termination resistors should be placed as close to
the output pins as possible to minimize output capaci-
tance. See the Typical Performance Characteristics sec-
tion for a plot of frequency response with various output
capacitors—only 10pF of parasitic output capacitance
before the series termination resistor causes 6dB of
peaking in the frequency response!
Low ESL/ESR bypass capacitors should be placed as
close to the positive and negative supply pins as possible.
One 4700pF ceramic capacitor is recommended for both
V
+
and V
supply busses. Additional 470pF ceramic ca-
pacitors with minimal trace length on each supply pin will
further improve AC and transient response as well as
channel isolation. For high current drive and large-signal
transient applications, additional 1µF to 10µF tantalums
should be added on each supply. The smallest value
capacitors should be placed closest to the package.
If the AGND pins are not connected to ground, they must
be carefully bypassed to maintain minimal impedance
over frequency. Although crosstalk will vary depending
upon board layout, a recommended starting point for
bypass capacitors would be 470pF as close as possible to
each AGND pin with a single 4700pF capacitor in parallel.
