LTC6421-20 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Referring to Figure 3, LTC6421-20 can be easily confi gured Output Impedance Match for single-ended input and differential output without a The LTC6421-20 can drive an ADC directly without external balun. The signal is fed to one of the inputs through a output impedance matching. Alternatively, the differential matching network while the other input is connected to the output impedance of 25Ω can be matched to a higher same matching network and a source resistor. Because the value impedance, e.g. 50Ω, by series resistors or an LC return ratios of the two feedback paths are equal, the two network. outputs have the same gain and thus symmetrical swing. In general, the single-ended input impedance and termination Output Common Mode Adjustment resistor RT are determined by the combination of RS, RG and R The output common mode voltage is set by the V F. For example, when RS is 50Ω, it is found that the OCM pin, single-ended input impedance is 202Ω and R which is a high impedance input. The output common T is 66.5Ω in order to match to a 50Ω source impedance. mode voltage is capable of tracking VOCM in a range from 1V to 1.6V. The bandwidth of V The LTC6421-20 is unconditionally stable. However, OCM control is typically 15MHz, which is dominated by a low pass fi lter connected the overall differential gain is affected by both source to the V impedance and load impedance as follows: OCM pin and is aimed to reduce common mode noise generation at the outputs.
