geted 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 LTC6400-8 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 LTC6400-8 saves space and power compared to al-
ternative solutions using IF gain blocks and transformers.
The LTC6400-8 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 LTC6400 family of amplifiers, a lower power LTC6401 family is available. The LTC6401 is pin compatible to the LTC6400, and has the
same low noise performance. The lower power consumption of the LTC6401 comes at the expense of slightly higher non-linearity, especially at input
frequencies above 140MHz. Please refer to the separate LTC6401 data sheets for complete details.

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 LTC6400C and LTC6400I are guaranteed functional over the
operating temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
Note 4:
The LTC6400C 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 LTC6400I 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 per output.
Note 7:
Since the LTC6400-8 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
LTC6400-8 with amplifiers that require 50Ω output load, the LTC6400-8
output voltage swing driving a given R
L
is converted to OIP3 and P1dB as
if it were driving a 50Ω load. Using this modified convention, 2V
