6420-20 is a dual high-speed differential amplifier
targeted at processing signals from DC to 300MHz. 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 LTC6420-20 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
capacitors in many applications. The gain is internally
fixed at 20dB (10V/V).
The LTC6420-20 saves space and power compared to
alternative solutions using IF gain blocks and transformers.
The LTC6420-20 is packaged in a compact 20-lead
3mm
×
4mm QFN package and operates over the –40°C
to 85°C temperature range.

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 LTC6420C and LTC6420I are guaranteed functional over the
operating temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
Note 4:
The LTC6420C 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 LTC6420I 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. R
L
= 87.5Ω on each output.
Note 7:
Since the LTC6420-20 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
LTC6420-20 with amplifiers that require 50Ω output load, the 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 actual R
L
.
Note 8:
Channel separation (the inverse of crosstalk) is measured by
driving a signal into one input, while terminating the other input. Channel
separation is the ratio of the resulting output signal at the driven channel
to the channel that is not driven.
Note 9:
Not production tested. Guaranteed by design and by correlation to
