DESCRIPTION
1.8GHz Low Noise, Low
Distortion Differential ADC
Driver for 300MHz IF
The LTC
®
6400-20 is a high-speed differential amplifi er
targeted at processing signals from DC to 300MHz. The
part has been specifi cally designed to drive 12-, 14- and
16-bit ADCs with low noise and low distortion, but can also
be used as a general-purpose broadband gain block.
The LTC6400-20 is easy to use, with minimal support
circuitry required. The output common mode voltage is
set using an external pin, independent of the inputs, which
eliminates the need for transformers or AC-coupling ca-
pacitors in many applications. The gain is internally fi xed
at 20dB (10V/V).
The LTC6400-20 saves space and power compared to
alternative solutions using IF gain blocks and transform-
ers. The LTC6400-20 is packaged in a compact 16-lead
3mm × 3mm QFN package and operates over the –40°C
to 85°C temperature range.

In addition to the LTC6400 family of amplifi ers, a lower power LTC6401 family is available. The LTC6401 is pin compatible to the LTC6400, and has the
same low noise performance. The lower power consumption of the LTC6401 comes at the expense of slightly higher non-linearity, especially at input
frequencies above 140MHz. Please refer to the separate LTC6401 data sheets for complete details. Other gain versions from 8dB to 26dB will follow.
Please check each datasheet for complete details.
