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 LTC6420-20 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 for transformers or AC-coupling capacitors in many applications. The gain is internally fixed at 20dB (10V/V). The LTC6420-20 saves space and power compared to alternative solutions using IF gain blocks and transformers. The LTC6420-20 is packaged in a compact 20-lead 3mm × 4mm QFN package and operates over the –40°C to 85°C temperature range.

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 LTC6420C and LTC6420I are guaranteed functional over the operating temperature range of –40°C to 85°C. Note 4: The LTC6420C 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 LTC6420I 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. RL = 87.5Ω on each output. Note 7: Since the LTC6420-20 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 LTC6420-20 with amplifiers that require 50Ω output load, the output voltage swing driving a given RL is converted to OIP3 and P1dB as if it were driving a 50Ω load. Using this modified convention, 2VP-P is by definition equal to 10dBm, regardless of actual RL. Note 8: Channel separation (the inverse of crosstalk) is measured by driving a signal into one input, while terminating the other input. Channel separation is the ratio of the resulting output signal at the driven channel to the channel that is not driven. Note 9: Not production tested. Guaranteed by design and by correlation to production tested parameters. Note 10: The output swing range is at least 2VP-P differential even when sourcing or sinking 20mA. Tested at VOCM = 1.5V. 642020fa 4 LTC6420-20 TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Channel to Channel Gain Match vs Frequency 0.5 0.4 GROUP DELAY MATCH (nsec) 0.3 GAIN MATCH (dB) 0.2 0.1 0.0 –0.1 –0.2 –0.3 –0.4 –0.5 10 100 FREQUENCY (MHz) 1000 2000 642020 G01 Channel to Channel Group Delay Match vs Frequency 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.0 –0.1 –0.2 –0.3 –0.4 –0.5 10 100 FREQUENCY (MHz) 1000 2000 642020 G02 Channel to Channel Phase Match vs Frequency 0.5 0.4 0.3 PHASE MATCH (deg) 0.2 0.1 0.0 –0.1 –0.2 –0.3 –0.4 –0.5 10 100 FREQUENCY (MHz) 1000 642020 G03 Frequency Response 25 TEST CIRCUIT B 0 S21 Phase and Group Delay vs Frequency TEST CIRCUIT B 1.2 20 –100 GAIN (dB) 15 PHASE (DEGREE) 0.9 GROUP DELAY (ns) –200 0.6 10 5 –300 PHASE GROUP DELAY 0 200 400 600 FREQUENCY (MHz) 800 0.3 0 10 100 1000 FREQUENCY (MHz) 3000 642020 G04 –400 0 1000 642020 G05 Input and Output Reflection and Reverse Isolation vs Frequency 0 –10 IMPEDANCE MAGNITUDE (Ω) 200 S PARAMETERS (dB) –20 –30 –40 –50 –60 –70 –80 10 100 1000 FREQUENCY (MHz) 3000 0 S12 S22 S11 TEST CIRCUIT B 250 Input and Output Impedance vs Frequency 50 ZIN ZOUT 150 ZIN 100 PHASE IMPEDANCE MAGNITUDE –10 10 30 PHASE (DEGREES) 50 –30 ZOUT 1 10 100 FREQUENCY (MHz) –50 1000 642020 G07 642020 G06 642020fa 5 LTC6420-20 TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Noise Figure and Input Referred Noise Voltage vs Frequency 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 10 6 1.35 INPUT REFERRED NOISE VOLTAGE (nV/√Hz) Small Signal Transient Response RL = 87.5Ω PER OUTPUT 2.5 Overdrive Transient Response RL = 87.5Ω PER OUTPUT +OUT OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) NOISE FIGURE (dB) 4 +OUT OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) 1.30 2.0 1.5 NOISE FIGURE eIN 2 1.25 1.0 1.20 –OUT 0.5 –OUT 100 FREQUENCY (MHz) 0 1000 642020 G08 1.15 0 2 4 6 TIME (ns) 8 10 642020 G09 0 0 50 100 TIME (ns) 150 200 642020 G10 Harmonic Distortion vs Frequency –40 HARMONIC DISTORTION (dBc) –50 THIRD ORDER IMD (dBc) –60 –70 –80 –90 –100 HD2 NO RL HD2 200Ω RL HD3 NO RL HD3 200Ω RL 0 50 100 150 200 FREQUENCY (MHz) 250 300 DIFFERENTIAL INPUT VOUT = 2VP-P –40 –50 –60 –70 –80 –90 –100 –110 Third Order Intermodulation Distortion vs Frequency DRIVING LTC2285 DIFFERENTIAL INPUT VOUT = 2VP-P COMPOSITE 0 50 100 150 200 FREQUENCY (MHz) 250 300 642020 G11 642020 G12 Equivalent Output Third Order Intercept vs Frequency 60 50 OUTPUT IP3 (dBm) 40 DIFFERENTIAL INPUT 30 VOUT = 2VP-P COMPOSITE (NOTE 7) 20 10 0 DRIVING LTC2285 0 50 100 150 200 FREQUENCY (MHz) 250 300 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 Channel Separation vs Frequency (Note 8) CHANNEL SEPARATION (dB) 1 10 100 FREQUENCY (MHz) 1000 642020 G14 642020 G13 642020fa 6 LTC6420-20 PIN FUNCTIONS +INA, –INA, –INB, +INB (Pins 1, 2, 5, 6): Differential Inputs of A and B channel respectively.

Differential gain and input impedance are set by 100Ω/1000Ω resistors in the feedback network. Small output resistors of 12.5Ω improve the circuit stability over various load conditions. The LTC6420-20 is very flexible in terms of I/O coupling. It can be AC- or DC-coupled at the inputs, the outputs or both. If the inputs are AC-coupled, the input common mode voltage is automatically biased close to VOCM and thus no external circuitry is needed for bias. The LTC6420-20 provides an output common mode voltage set by VOCM , which allows driving an ADC directly without external components such as a transformer or AC coupling capacitors. The input signal can be either single-ended or differential with only minor differences in distortion performance. Input Impedance and Matching The differential input impedance of the LTC6420-20 is 200Ω. If a 200Ω source impedance is unavailable, then the differential inputs may need to be terminated to a lower value impedance, e.g. 50Ω, in order to provide an impedance match for the source. Several choices are available. One approach is to use a differential shunt resistor (Figure 1). Another approach is to employ a wide band transformer (Figure 2). Both methods provide a wide band impedance match. The termination resistor or the transformer must be placed close to the input pins in order to minimize the reflection due to input mismatch. Alternatively, one could apply a narrowband impedance match at the inputs of the LTC6420-20 for frequency selection and/or noise reduction. Referring to Figure 3, LTC6420-20 can be easily configured for single-ended input and differential output without a balun.

Because the return ratios of the two feedback paths are equal, the two outputs have the same gain and thus symmetrical swing. In general, the single-ended input impedance and termination resistor R T are determined by the combination of RS , RG and RF . For example, when RS is 50Ω, it is found that the single-ended input impedance is 202Ω and R T is 66.5Ω in order to match to a 50Ω source impedance. The LTC6420-20 is unconditionally stable. However, the overall differential gain is affected by both source impedance and load impedance as follows: AV = VOUT RL 2000 = • VIN RS + 200 25 + RL Driving A/D Converters The LTC6420-20 has been specifically designed to interface directly with high speed A/D converters. The back page of this data sheet shows the LTC6420-20 driving an LTC2285, which is a dual 14-bit, 125Msps ADC. The VOCM pins of the LTC6420-20 are connected to the VCM pins of the LTC2285, which provide a DC voltage level of 1.5V. Both ICs are powered from the same 3V supply voltage. The inputs to the LTC6420-20 can be configured in various ways, as described in the Input Impedance and Matching section of this data sheet. The outputs of the LTC6420-20 may be connected directly to the analog inputs of an ADC, or a simple lowpass or bandpass filter network may be inserted to reduce out-of-band noise. Test Circuits Due to the fully-differential design of the LTC6420 and its usefulness in applications with differing characteristic specifications, two test circuits are used to generate the information in this data sheet. Test Circuit A is DC1299, a two-port demonstration circuit for the LTC6420/LTC6421 family. The schematic and silkscreen are shown in Figure 4. This circuit includes input and output transformers (baluns) for single-ended-to-differential conversion and impedance transformation, allowing direct hook-up to a 2-port network analyzer. There are also series resistors at the output to avoid loading the amplifier directly with a 50Ω load. Due to the input and output transformers, the –3dB bandwidth is reduced from 1.8GHz to approximately 1.3GHz. Test Circuit B uses a 4-port network analyzer to measure S-parameters and gain/phase response. This removes the effects of the wideband baluns and associated circuitry, for a true picture of the >1GHz S-parameters and AC characteristics. Output Impedance Match The LTC6420-20 can drive an ADC directly without external output impedance matching. Alternatively, the differential output impedance of 25Ω can be matched to a higher value impedance, e.g. 50Ω, by series resistors or an LC network. Output Common Mode Adjustment The output common mode voltage is set by the VOCM pin, which is a high impedance input. The output common mode voltage is capable of tracking VOCM in a range from 1.1V to 1.6V. The bandwidth of VOCM control is typically 15MHz, which is dominated by a low pass filter connected to the VOCM pin and is aimed to reduce common mode noise generation at the outputs. The internal common mode feedback loop has a –3dB bandwidth of 300MHz, allowing fast rejection of any common mode output voltage disturbance. The VOCM pin should be tied to a DC bias voltage with a 0.1μF bypass capacitor. When interfacing with A/D converters such as the LTC22xx families, the VOCM pin can be connected to the VCM pin of the ADC. 642020fa 9 LTC6420-20 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Figure 4a.
