targeted 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 LTC6401-26 is easy to use, with minimal support
circuitry required. The output common mode voltage is
set using an external pin, independent of the inputs, which
eliminates the need of transformers or AC-coupling ca-
pacitors in many applications. The gain is internally fixed
at 26dB (20V/V).
The LTC6401-26 saves space and power compared to
alternative solutions using IF gain blocks and transform-
ers. The LTC6401-26 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 low distortion of the LTC6400 comes at the expense of higher power consumption. Please refer to the separate LTC6400
data sheets for complete details. Other gain versions from 8dB to 14dB will follow.
