LTC6409 10GHz GBW, 1.1nV/√Hz Differential Amplifier/ADC Driver FEATURESDESCRIPTION n 10GHz Gain-Bandwidth Product The LTC®6409 is a very high speed, low distortion, dif- n 88dB SFDR at 100MHz, 2VP-P ferential amplifier. Its input common mode range includes n 1.1nV/√Hz Input Noise Density ground, so that a ground-referenced input signal can be n Input Range Includes Ground DC-coupled, level-shifted, and converted to drive an ADC n External Resistors Set Gain (Min 1V/V) differentially. n 3300V/µs Differential Slew Rate The gain and feedback resistors are external, so that the n 52mA Supply Current exact gain and frequency response can be tailored to each n 2.7V to 5.25V Supply Voltage Range application. For example, the amplifier could be externally n Fully Differential Input and Output compensated in a no-overshoot configuration, which is n Adjustable Output Common Mode Voltage desired in certain time-domain applications. n Low Power Shutdown n Small 10-Lead 3mm × 2mm × 0.75mm QFN Package The LTC6409 is stable in a differential gain of 1. This allows for a low output noise in applications where gain is not desired. It draws 52mA of supply current and has APPLICATIONS a hardware shutdown feature which reduces current con- n Differential Pipeline ADC Driver sumption to 100µA. n High Speed Data-Acquisition Cards The LTC6409 is available in a compact 3mm × 2mm n Automated Test Equipment 10-pin leadless QFN package and operates over a –40°C n Time Domain Reflectometry to 125°C temperature range. n Communications Receivers L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Analog Devices, Inc.
