LT6600-2.5 Very Low Noise, Differential Amplifi er and 2.5MHz Lowpass Filter FEATURESDESCRIPTION n ±0.6dB (Max) Ripple 4th Order Lowpass Filter with The LT®6600-2.5 combines a fully differential amplifi er 2.5MHz Cutoff with a 4th order 2.5MHz lowpass fi lter approximating a n Programmable Differential Gain via Two External Chebyshev frequency response. Most differential ampli- Resistors fi ers require many precision external components to tail n Adjustable Output Common Mode Voltage or gain and bandwidth. In contrast, with the LT6600-2.5, n Operates and Specifi ed with 3V, 5V, ±5V Supplies two external resistors program differential gain, and the n 86dB S/N with 3V Supply and 1VRMS Output fi lter’s 2.5MHz cutoff frequency and passband ripple are n Low Distortion, 1VRMS, 800Ω Load internally set. The LT6600-2.5 also provides the necessary 1MHz: 95dBc 2nd, 88dBc 3rd level shifting to set its output common mode voltage to ac- n Fully Differential Inputs and Outputs commodate the reference voltage requirements of A/Ds. n Compatible with Popular Differential Amplifi er Using a proprietary internal architecture, the LT6600-2.5 Pinouts integrates an antialiasing fi lter and a differential ampli- n SO-8 and DFN-12 Packages fi er/driver without compromising distortion or low noise performance. At unity gain the measured in band signal- APPLICATIONS to-noise ratio is an impressive 86dB. At higher gains the input referred noise decreases so the part can process n High Speed ADC Antialiasing and DAC Smoothing in smaller input differential signals without signifi cantly Networking or Cellular Basestation Applications degrading the output signal-to-noise ratio. n High Speed Test and Measurement Equipment n The LT6600-2.5 also features low voltage operation.
