LTC6410CUD-6-PBF

FEATURES n n n LTC6410-6 Low Distortion, Low Noise Differential IF Amplifier with Configurable Input Impedance DESCRIPTION The LTC®6410-6 is a low distortion, low noise differential IF amplifier with configurable input impedance designed for use in applications from DC to 1.4GHz. The LTC6410-6 has 6dB of voltage gain. The LTC6410-6 is an excellent choice for interfacing active mixers to SAW filters. It features an active input termination that allows a customized input impedance for an optimum interface to differential active mixers. This feature provides additional power gain because of the impedance conversion and improved noise performance when compared to traditional 50Ω interface circuits. The LTC6410-6 drives a differential 50Ω load directly with low distortion, which is suitable for driving SAW filters and other 50Ω signal chain blocks. The LTC6410-6 operates on 3V or 5V supplies. It comes in a compact 16-lead 3mm × 3mm QFN package and operates over a –40°C to 85°C temperature range. L, LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

All 5 pins must be tied to the same voltage. V– maybe tied to a voltage other than ground as long as the voltage between V+ and V– is 2.8V to 5.5V. If the V– pins are not tied to ground, bypass each with 680pF and 0.1μF capacitors as close to the package as possible. VBIAS (Pin 2): This pin sets the input and output common mode voltage by driving the +IN and –IN through a buffer with a high output resistance of 1k. If the part is AC-coupled at the input, the VBIAS will set the VINCM and therefore the VOUTCM voltage. If the part is DC-coupled at the input, VBIAS should be left floating. Internal resistors bias VBIAS to 1.4V on a 3V supply. V+ (Pins 3, 5, 8, 10): Positive Power Supply. All 4 pins must be tied to the same voltage. Split supplies are possible as long as the voltage between V+ and V– is 2.8V to 5.5V. Bypass capacitors of 680pF and 0.1μF as close to the part as possible should be used between supplies. +OUT, –OUT (Pins 6, 7): Outputs. These pins each have internal series termination resistors forming a differential output resistance. SHDN (Pin 11): This pin is internally pulled high by a typically 30k resistor to V+. By pulling this pin low the supply current will be reduced to typically 3mA. See DC Electrical Characteristics table for the specific logic levels. –TERM (Pin 13): Negative Input Termination. When tied directly to –IN, it provides an active 50Ω differential termination when +TERM is also tied directly to +IN. –IN (Pin 14): Negative Input. This pin is normally tied to –TERM, the input termination pin. If AC-coupled, this pin will self bias by VBIAS. +IN (Pin 15): Positive Input. This pin is normally tied to +TERM, the input termination pin. If AC-coupled, this pin will self bias by VBIAS. +TERM (Pin 16): Positive Input Termination. When tied directly to +IN, it provides an active 50Ω differential termination when –TERM is also tied directly to –IN. Exposed Pad (Pin 17): V–. The Exposed Pad must be soldered to the PCB metal.

By default, the LTC6410-6 has 6dB voltage gain and is designed to operate with 50Ω differential input and output impedances. By changing (REXT), alternative configurations provide input resistances of up to 400Ω, with correspondingly lower noise figure and higher power gain. The Block Diagram shows the basic circuit along with key external components while Table 1 provides configuration information. If the input is AC-coupled, the VBIAS pin sets the input common mode voltage and therefore the output common mode voltage. Input Impedance LTC6410-6 has been designed with very flexible input termination circuitry. By default, with the termination pins connected directly to the inputs, the input impedance is 58Ω, see the Block Diagram. Internally, there is 110Ω between each input and the opposite output (RT). Dividing the resistor by the internal noise gain of 2.7 + 1 = 3.7, 29.5Ω input impedance is created (59Ω differential ). In parallel with the 2k common mode resistance, a total of 58Ω differential input impedance is achieved. This method of termination is used to provide lower noise figure through the use of feedback which reduces the effective noise of the termination resistor. By adding additional resistance in series with the termination pins, higher input impedances can be obtained (see Table 1). The optimum impedance for minimizing the noise figure of the LTC6410-6 is close to 400Ω. Because the amplifier is inherently a voltage amplifier, the difference between the impedance at the input and the output adds additional power gain as can be seen in Table 1. These higher impedance levels can be useful in interfacing with active mixers which can have output impedance of 400Ω and beyond. Input and Output Common Mode Bias The LTC6410-6 is internally self-biased through the VBIAS pin (see the Block Diagram). Therefore the LTC6410-6 can be AC-coupled with no external biasing circuitry. The output will have approximately the same common mode voltage as the input. In the case of a DC-coupled input connection, the input DC common mode voltage will also set the output common mode voltage. Note that a voltage divider is formed between the VBIAS buffer output and the DC input source impedance. The VBIAS pin has an internal voltage divider which will self bias to approximately 1.4V on a 3V supply (0.47 • VSUPPLY). An external capacitor of 0.1μF to ground is recommended to bypass the pin. The resistance of the pin is 3k. See Distortion vs Common Mode graph. For increased common mode accuracy, the +TERM and –TERM pins can be AC-coupled to the inputs with capacitors (CEXT). This coupling prevents the feedback from the termination resistance from creating additional DC common mode voltage error. The GCM and VOSCM of the DC Electrical Characteristics table reflect the less accurate DC-coupled scenario. The termination inputs are part of a high speed feedback loop. The physical length of the termination loop (REXT and CEXT) must be minimized to maintain stability and minimize gain peaking. Gain Internally, the LTC6410-6 has a voltage gain of 2.7V/V. The default source and load resistances in most of the data sheet are assumed to be 50Ω differential. Due to the input and output resistance of the LTC6410-6 being 58Ω and 22Ω respectively, the overall voltage gain in a 50Ω system is 6dB (2V/V). Other source and load resistances will produce different gains due to the resistive dividers. Figure 1 is a system diagram for calculating gain. RS RIN VS LTC6410-6 ROUT 22Ω 64106 F01 RLOAD Figure 1 64106fa 11 LTC6410-6 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Therefore the differential voltage gain can be calculated as follows: Voltage Gain = 2• RIN RL • 2.7 • RIN + RS RL + ROUT Output Impedance The LTC6410-6 is designed to drive a differential load of 50Ω with a total differential output resistance of 22Ω. While the LTC6410-6 can source and sink approximately 50mA, large DC output current should be avoided. To test the part on traditional 50Ω test equipment, AC coupling or balun transformers (or both) may be necessary at the input and output. Supply Rails Inductance in the supply path can severely effect the performance of the LTC6410-6. Therefore it is recommended that low inductance bypass capacitors are installed very close to the part. 680pF and 0.1μF sized capacitors are recommended. Additionally, the exposed pad of the part must be connected to V– for low inductance and low thermal resistance. Failure to provide a low impedance supply at high frequencies can cause oscillations and increased distortion. SHDN 2 The following is an example of the 50Ω gain calculation: Voltage Gain = 2• 58 50 • 2.7 • 58+50 50 + 22 = 2.0V/V = 6.0dB The part also can be used with different input impedances providing no additional voltage gain, but a higher power gain. For example, the calculation for a 100Ω input impedance shows the effect of an impedance conversion. The voltage gain is calculated as follows: Voltage Gain = 2• 83 50 • 2.7 • 83+100 50 + 22 = 1.7V/V = 4.6dB However the power gain is: Power Gain = 2• 83 50 • 2.7 • •2 83+100 50 + 22 = 5.8mW/mW = 7.6dB The SHDN pin self-biases to V+ through a 30k resistor. The pin must be pulled below 0.8V in order to shut down the part. Applications Circuits The graphs on the following page are examples of the four differential input resistances used on the DC1103A demo board with balun transformers for interfacing with the 50Ω single-ended measurement equipment.
