LTC6416
2 GHz Low Noise Differential
16-Bit ADC Buffer
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
6416 is a differential unity gain buffer designed
to drive 16-bit ADCs with extremely low output noise
and excellent linearity beyond 300MHz. Differential input
impedance is 12kΩ, allowing 1:4 and 1:8 transformers to
be used at the input to achieve additional system gain.
With no external biasing or gain setting components and
a flow-through pinout, the LTC6416 is very easy to use.
It can be DC-coupled and has a common mode output
offset of –40mV. If the input signals are AC-coupled, the
LTC6416 input pins are internally biased to provide an
output common mode voltage that is set by the voltage
on the V
CM
pin.
In addition the LTC6416 has high speed, fast recovery
clamping circuitry to limit output signal swing. Both the
high and low clamp voltages are internally biased to allow
maximum output swing but are also user programmable
via the CLLO and CLHI pins.
Supply current is nominally 42mA and the LTC6416 oper-
ates on supply voltages ranging from 2.7V to 3.9V.
The LTC6416 is packaged in a 10-lead 3mm
×
2mm DFN
package. Pinout is optimized for placement directly adjacent
to Linear’s high speed 12-, 14- and 16-bit ADCs.
