DESCRIPTION
2.2GHz Low Noise, Low
Distortion Differential ADC
Driver for DC-140MHz
The LTC
®
6401-8 is a high-speed differential amplifi er tar-
geted at processing signals from DC to 140MHz. 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 LTC6401-8 is easy to use, with minimal support cir-
cuitry 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 8dB (2.5V/V).
The LTC6401-8 saves space and power compared to al-
ternative solutions using IF gain blocks and transformers.
The LTC6401-8 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 LTC6401 family of amplifi ers, a lower distortion LTC6400 family is available. The LTC6400 is pin compatible to the LTC6401, and has the
same low noise performance. The LTC6400 shows higher linearity especially at input frequency above 140MHz at the expense of higher supply current.
Please refer to the separate LTC6400 data sheets for complete details. Other gain versions from 8dB to 14dB will follow.
