LT6600-20 Very Low Noise, Differential Amplifi er and 20MHz Lowpass Filter FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Programmable Differential Gain via Two External The LT®6600-20 combines a fully differential amplifi er with a Resistors 4th order 20MHz lowpass fi lter approximating a Chebyshev n Adjustable Output Common Mode Voltage frequency response. Most differential amplifi ers require n Operates and Specifi ed with 3V, 5V, ±5V Supplies many precision external components to tailor gain and n 0.5dB Ripple 4th Order Lowpass Filter with 20MHz bandwidth. In contrast, with the LT6600-20, two external Cutoff resistors program differential gain, and the fi lter’s 20MHz n 76dB S/N with 3V Supply and 2VP-P Output cutoff frequency and passband ripple are internally set. n Low Distortion, 2VP-P, 800Ω Load The LT6600-20 also provides the necessary level shifting 2.5MHz: 83dBc 2nd, 88dBc 3rd to set its output common mode voltage to accommodate 20MHz: 63dBc 2nd, 64dBc 3rd the reference voltage requirements of A/Ds. n Fully Differential Inputs and Outputs Using a proprietary internal architecture, the LT6600-20 n SO-8 Package integrates an antialiasing fi lter and a differential ampli- n Compatible with Popular Differential Amplifi er fi er/driver without compromising distortion or low noise Pinouts performance. At unity gain the measured in band signal- to-noise ratio is an impressive 76dB. At higher gains the APPLICATIONS input referred noise decreases so the part can process smaller input differential signals without signifi cantly n High Speed ADC Antialiasing and DAC Smoothing in degrading the output signal-to-noise ratio.
