geted 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 LTC6401-8 is easy to use, with minimal support cir-
cuitry 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 8dB (2.5V/V).
The LTC6401-8 saves space and power compared to al-
ternative solutions using IF gain blocks and transformers.
The LTC6401-8 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 LTC6400 shows higher linearity especially at input frequency above 140MHz at the expense of higher supply current.
Please refer to the separate LTC6400 data sheets for complete details. Other gain versions from 8dB to 14dB 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:

Note 6:
Measured using Test Circuit B. R
L
= 87.5Ω per output.
Note 7:
Since the LTC6401-8 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
LTC6401-8 with amplifiers that require 50Ω output load, the LTC6401-8
output voltage swing driving a given R
L
is converted to OIP3 and P

as
if it were driving a 50Ω load. Using this modified convention, 2V
