targeted at processing signals from DC to 140MHz. The
part has been specifically 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 LTC6401-20 is easy to use, with minimal support
circuitry 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 fixed
at 20dB (10V/V).
The LTC6401-20 saves space and power compared to
alternative solutions using IF gain blocks and transform-
ers. The LTC6401-20 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 amplifiers, a lower distortion LTC6400 family is available. The LTC6400 is pin compatible to the LTC6401, and has the
same low noise performance. The low distortion of the LTC6400 comes at the expense of higher power consumption. Please refer to the separate LTC6400
data sheets for complete details. Other gain versions from 8dB to 26dB will follow.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
Input pins (+IN, –IN) are protected by steering diodes to either
supply. If the inputs go beyond either supply rail, the input current should
be limited to less than 10mA.
Note 3:
The LTC6401C and LTC6401I are guaranteed functional over the
operating temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
Note 4:
The LTC6401C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. It is designed, characterized and expected to meet specified
performance from –40°C to 85°C but is not tested or QA sampled at these
temperatures. The LTC6401I is guaranteed to meet specified performance
from –40°C to 85°C.
Note 5:
Input and output baluns used. See Test Circuit A.
Note 6:
Measured using Test Circuit B.
Note 7:
Since the LTC6401-20 is a feedback amplifier with low output
impedance, a resistive load is not required when driving an AD converter.
Therefore, typical output power is very small. In order to compare the
LTC6401-20 with amplifiers that require 50Ω output load, the LTC6401-20
output voltage swing driving a given R
L
is converted to OIP
3
and P
1dB
as
if it were driving a 50Ω load. Using this modified convention, 2V
P-P
is by
definition equal to 10dBm, regardless of the actual R
