DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
6419
is a dual very high speed, low distortion,
differential amplifier. Its input common mode range in-
cludes ground, so that a ground-referenced single-ended
or differential input signal can be DC-coupled, level-shifted,
and converted to drive an ADC differentially.
The gain and feedback resistors are external, so that the
exact gain and frequency response can be tailored to each
application. For example, the amplifier could be externally
compensated in a no-overshoot configuration, which is
desired in certain time-domain applications.
The LTC6419 is stable in a differential gain of 1. This al-
lows for low output noise in applications where gain is not
desired. Each amplifier draws 52mA of supply current and
has an independent shutdown pin which reduces current
consumption to 100µA per amplifier.
The LTC6419 is available in a compact 4mm × 3mm
20-pin LQFN package and operates over a –40°C to 125°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 (+INA, –INA, +INB, –INB, V
OCMA
, V
OCMB
,
SHDNA,
SHDNB)
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 (+INA/–INA or +INB/–INB) 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.
Note 4:
The LTC6419I is guaranteed functional over the temperature
range of –40°C to 85°C. The LTC6419H is guaranteed functional over the
temperature range of –40°C to 125°C.
Note 5:
The LTC6419I is guaranteed to meet specified performance
from –40°C to 85°C. The LTC6419H is guaranteed to meet specified
performance from –40°C to 125°C.
Note 6:
Input bias current is defined as the average of the input currents
flowing into the inputs (–INA/+INA or –INB/+INB). 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 by testing at both V
ICM
= 1.25V
and at the Electrical Characteristics table limits to verify that the differential
offset (V
OSDIFF
) and the common mode offset (V
OSCM
) have not deviated by
more than ±1mV and ±2mV respectively from the V
ICM
= 1.25V case.
The voltage range for the output common mode range is tested 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 ±6mV 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 (+INA/–INA or +INB/–INB) to the
change in differential input referred offset voltage. Output CMRR is defined
as the ratio of the change in the voltage at the V
OCMA
or V
OCMB
pins to the
change in differential input referred offset voltage. 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 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
offset voltage. Common mode power supply rejection (PSRRCM) is
defined as the ratio of the change in supply voltage to the change in the
output common mode offset voltage.
Note 10:
Supply voltage range is guaranteed by power supply rejection
ratio test.
Note 11:
Extended operation with the output shorted may cause the
junction temperature to exceed the 150°C limit.
Note 12:
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 13:
The LTC6419 is capable of producing peak output currents in
excess of 50mA. Current density limitations within the IC require the
continuous RMS current supplied by the output (sourcing or sinking)
over the operating lifetime of the part be limited to under 50mA (Absolute
Maximum). Proper heat sinking may be required to keep the junction
temperature below the absolute maximum rating.
