The LTC
®
6404 is a family of AC precision, very low noise,
low distortion, fully differential input/output amplifi ers
optimized for 3V, single supply operation.
The LTC6404-1 is unity-gain stable. The LTC6404-2 is
designed for closed-loop gains greater than or equal to
2V/V. The LTC6404-4 is designed for closed-loop gains
greater than or equal to 4V/V. The LTC6404 closed-loop
bandwidth extends from DC to 600MHz. In addition to the
normal unfi ltered outputs (OUT
+
and OUT
–
), the LTC6404
has a built-in 88.5MHz differential single-pole lowpass
fi lter and an additional pair of fi ltered outputs (OUTF
+
,
OUTF
–
). An input referred voltage noise of 1.5nV/√Hz
make the LTC6404 able to drive state-of-the-art 16-/18-bit
ADCs while operating on the same supply voltage, saving
system cost and power. The LTC6404 is characterized, and
maintains its performance for supplies as low as 2.7V and
can operate on supplies up to 5.25V. It draws only 27.3mA,
and has a hardware shutdown feature which reduces cur-
rent consumption to 250µA.
The LTC6404 family is available in a compact 3mm × 3mm
16-pin leadless QFN package and operates over a –40°C
to 125°C temperature range.
