LTC6432-15 100kHz to 1.4GHz Differential ADC Driver/IF Amplifier FEATURESDESCRIPTION n 100kHz to 1400MHz Bandwidth The LTC®6432-15 is an ultra-high dynamic range differen- n 54.4dBm OIP3 at 1MHz into a 100Ω Diff Load tial gain block amplifier designed to drive high resolution, n 48.0dBm OIP3 at 150MHz into a 100Ω Diff Load high speed ADCs. It offers a full GHz of data bandwidth for n Up to 15dBm Output Power complex spectrally efficient modulations schemes or where n NF = 3.0dB at 240MHz resistance to blockers is critical. This unique device can n Low 1/f Noise Corner simultaneously achieve low noise, incomparable linearity n User Defined Low Frequency and flat gain over the 100kHz to 1GHz band. n 15.2dB Fixed Power Gain Unlike wideband GaAs PHEMTs, MESFETs and GaN FETs, n A-Grade 100% OIP3 Tested at 150MHz this SiGe based amplifier exhibits low 1/f noise and can n 0.8 nV/√Hz Total Input Noise be used down to 100kHz. n >2.75VP-P Linear Output Swing n P1dB = 22.5dBm The LTC6432-15 is designed for ease of use requiring a n Insensitive to V minimum of support components. Impedance matching, CC Variation n Input/Output Internally Matched to 100Ω Differential temperature compensation and bias control are handled n Single 5V Supply internally to ensure consistent performance over environ- n DC Power = 850mW mental changes. n Unconditionally Stable All A-Grade LTC6432-15 devices are tested and guaran- teed for OIP3 at 150MHz. The LTC6432-15 is housed in APPLICATIONS a 4mm × 4mm, 24L, QFN package with an exposed pad for thermal management and low inductance. n Differential 1GHz Bandwidth ADC Driver n Wideband Test Instrument Amplifier For a single-ended 50Ω IF Gain Block with similar perfor- n Differential IF Amplifier mance, see the related LTC6433-15. n 50Ω/75Ω Balanced IF Amplifier L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Analog Devices, Inc.
