DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
6406 is a very low noise, low distortion, fully
differential input/output amplifier optimized for 3V, single
supply operation. The LTC6406 input common mode range
is rail-to-rail, while the output common mode voltage is
independently adjustable by applying a voltage on the
V
OCM
pin. This makes the LTC6406 ideal for level-shifting
signals with a wide common mode range for driving 12-bit
to 16-bit single supply, differential input ADCs.
A 3GHz gain-bandwidth product results in 70dB linearity for
50MHz input signals. The LTC6406 is unity-gain stable and
the closed-loop bandwidth extends from DC to 800MHz.
The output voltage swing extends from near ground to
2V, to be compatible with a wide range of ADC converter
input requirements. The LTC6406 draws only 18mA, and
has a hardware shutdown feature which reduces current
consumption to 300μA.
The LTC6406 is available in a compact 3mm
×
3mm 16-pin
leadless QFN package as well as an 8-lead MSOP package,
and operates over a –40°C to 85°C temperature range.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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, V
OCM
,
SHDN
and V
TIP
) are protected by
steering diodes to either supply. If the inputs should exceed either supply
voltage, the input current should be limited to less than 10mA. In addition,
the inputs +IN, –IN are protected by a pair of back-to-back diodes. If the
differential input voltage exceeds 1.4V, the input current should be limited
to less than 10mA.
Note 3:
A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature
below the Absolute Maximum Rating when the output is shorted
indefinitely. Long-term application of output currents in excess of the
absolute maximum ratings may impair the life of the device.
Note 4:
The LTC6406C/LTC6406I are guaranteed functional over the
operating temperature range –40°C to 85°C.
Note 5:
The LTC6406C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LTC6406C 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 LTC6406I is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C.
Note 6:
Input bias current is defined as the average of the input currents
flowing into the inputs (–IN, and +IN). Input offset current is defined as the
difference between the input currents (I
OS
= I
B+
– I
B–
).
Note 7:
Input common mode range is tested using the test circuit of
Figure 1 by taking three measurements of differential gain with a ±1V DC
differential output with V
ICM
= 0V; V
ICM
= 1.25V; V
ICM
= 3V, verifying that
the differential gain has not deviated from the V
ICM
= 1.25V case by more
than 0.5%, and that the common mode offset (V
OSCM
) has not deviated
from the common mode offset at V
ICM
= 1.25V by more than ±20mV.
The voltage range for the output common mode range is tested using the
test circuit of Figure 1 by applying a voltage on the V
OCM
pin and testing at
both V
OCM
= 1.25V and at the Electrical Characteristics table limits to verify
that the common mode offset (V
OSCM
) has not deviated by more than
±10mV from the V
OCM
= 1.25V case.
Note 8:
Input CMRR is defined as the ratio of the change in the input
common mode voltage at the pins +IN or –IN to the change in differential
input referred voltage offset. Output CMRR is defined as the ratio of
the change in the voltage at the V
OCM
pin to the change in differential
input referred voltage offset. This specification is strongly dependent on
feedback ratio matching between the two outputs and their respective
inputs, and it is difficult to measure actual amplifier performance (see the
“Effects of Resistor Pair Mismatch” in the Applications Information section
of this data sheet). For a better indicator of actual amplifier performance
independent of feedback component matching, refer to the PSRR
specification.
Note 9:
Differential power supply rejection (PSRR) is defined as the ratio
of the change in supply voltage to the change in differential input referred
voltage offset. Common mode power supply rejection (PSRRCM) is
defined as the ratio of the change in supply voltage to the change in the
common mode offset, V
OUTCM
– V
OCM
.
Note 10:
Extended operation with the output shorted may cause the
junction temperature to exceed the 150°C limit.
Note 11:
Because the LTC6406 is a feedback amplifier with low output
impedance, a resistive load is not required when driving an ADC.
Therefore, typical output power can be very small in many applications. In
order to compare the LTC6406 with “RF style” amplifiers that require 50Ω
load, the output voltage swing is converted to dBm as if the outputs were
driving a 50Ω load. For example, 2V
P-P
output swing is equal to 10dBm
using this convention.
Note 12:
Includes offset/drift induced by feedback resistors mismatch. See
the Applications Information section for more details.
Note 13:
QFN package only. Refer to data sheet curves for MSOP package
numbers.
