LT1994
Low Noise, Low Distortion
Fully Differential Input/
Output Amplifi er/Driver
The LT
®
1994 is a high precision, very low noise, low distor-
tion, fully differential input/output amplifi er optimized for
3V, single-supply operation. The LT1994’s output common
mode voltage is independent of the input common mode
voltage, and is adjustable by applying a voltage on the
V
OCM
pin. A separate internal common mode feedback
path provides accurate output phase balancing and reduced
even-order harmonics. This makes the LT1994 ideal for
level shifting ground referenced signals for driving dif-
ferential input, single-supply ADCs.
The LT1994 output can swing rail-to-rail and is capable
of sourcing and sinking up to 85mA. In addition to the
low distortion characteristics, the LT1994 has a low input
referred voltage noise of 3nV/√Hz. This part maintains
its performance for supply voltages as low as 2.375V. It
draws only 13.3mA of supply current and has a hardware
shutdown feature that reduces current consumption to
225µA.
The LT1994 is available in an 8-pin MSOP or 8-pin DFN
package.
