TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
Dual Very Low Noise,
Differential Amplifi er and
15MHz Lowpass Filter
The LT
®
6604-15 consists of two matched, fully differential
amplifi ers, each with a 4th order, 15MHz lowpass fi lter. The
fi xed frequency lowpass fi lter approximates a Chebyshev
response. By integrating a fi lter and a differential ampli-
fi er, distortion and noise are made exceptionally low. At
unity gain, the measured in band signal-to-noise ratio is
an impressive 76dB. At higher gains, the input referred
noise decreases, allowing the part to process smaller
input differential signals without signifi cantly degrading
the signal-to-noise ratio.
Gain and phase are highly matched between the two chan-
nels. Gain for each channel is independently programmed
using two external resistors. The LT6604-15 enables level
shifting by providing an adjustable output common mode
voltage, making it ideal for directly interfacing to ADCs.
The LT6604-15 is fully specifi ed for 3V operation. The
differential design enables outstanding performance at
a 2V
P-P
signal level for a single 3V supply. See the back
page of this datasheet for a complete list of related single
and dual differential amplifi ers with integrated 2.5MHz to
20MHz lowpass fi lters.
