The temperature-stable linear amplifier ASNT6142-KHC, which is fabricated in an advanced SiGe
technology, provides low-jitter broadband variable signal amplification between its input inp/inn and
output outp/outn signal ports and is intended for use in high-speed communication systems. Gain
adjustment is performed through the external control port vgc. A graph of the amplifier’s single-ended
gain vs. vgc (where vcc=0V and x-axis values are settings below vcc) is shown below. Differential gain
is found by adding 6dB to these y-axis numbers.

The part’s I/Os support the CML logic interface with on chip 50Ohm termination to vcc and may be used
differentially, AC/DC coupled, single-ended, or in any combination (see also POWER SUPPLY
CONFIGURATION). In the DC-coupling mode, the input signal’s common mode voltage should comply
with the specifications shown in ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS. In the AC-coupling mode, the
input termination provides the required common mode voltage automatically. The differential DC
signaling mode is recommended for optimal performance.
The on-chip peak detector delivers a single-ended output voltage pkdet proportional to the input signal’s
amplitude. Additional control ports dcinp and dcinn can be used for input signal common-mode voltage
adjustment.
POWER SUPPLY CONFIGURATION
The part can operate with either a negative supply (vcc = 0.0V=ground and vee = -3.3V), or a positive
supply (vcc = +3.3V and vee = 0.0V=ground). In case of the positive supply, all I/Os need AC
termination when connected to any devices with 50Ohm termination to ground. Different PCB layouts
will be needed for each different power supply combination.
All the characteristics detailed below assume vcc = 0.0V and vee = -3.3V.
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Caution: Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings shown in Table 1 may cause damage to this product
and/or lead to reduced reliability. Functional performance is specified over the recommended operating
conditions for power supply and temperature only. AC and DC device characteristics at or beyond the
absolute maximum ratings are not assumed or implied.

PACKAGE INFORMATION
The chip die is housed in a custom, 24-pin CQFN package shown in Fig. 3. The package provides a center
heat slug located on its back side to be used for heat dissipation. ADSANTEC recommends for this
section to be soldered to the vcc plain, which is ground for a negative supply, or power for a positive
supply.
The part’s identification label is ASNT6142-KHC. The first 8 characters of the name before the dash
identify the bare die including general circuit family, fabrication technology, specific circuit type, and part
version while the 3 characters after the dash represent the package’s manufacturer, type, and pin out
count.
This device complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) per 2011/65/EU for all ten
substances.
