DESCRIPTION
Low Power, Low Distortion,
5MHz to 27MHz, Pin Confi gurable
Filter/ADC Driver
The LTC
®
6601-2 is a low power, low distortion, very
easy-to-use fully differential 2nd order active broadband
RC fi lter and driver. On-chip resistors, capacitors, and
amplifi er bandwidth are trimmed to provide consistent
and repeatable fi lter characteristics.
The fi lter characteristics are pin-strap confi gurable. Cutoff
frequencies range from 5MHz to 27MHz. Gain is pin-strap
programmable between –17dB and +17dB.
A three-state BIAS pin is provided to adjust amplifi er
power consumption. Select between low power (50%
power reduction), high performance and standby modes
with the BIAS pin.
The LTC6601 family comes in two options which trade
off distortion and noise. The LTC6601-2 offers the lowest
distortion at high frequencies. The LTC6601-1 is confi g-
ured for lowest noise. Both are available in pin-compatible
packages.
The LTC6601-2 is available in a compact 4mm × 4mm
20-pin leadless QFN package.
