targeted 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 LTC6400-26 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 LTC6400-26 saves space and power compared to
alternative solutions using IF gain blocks and transform-
ers. The LTC6400-26 is packaged in a compact 16-lead

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. Other gain versions from 8dB to 14dB will follow.
