feedback ratio matching between the two outputs and their respective

independent of feedback component matching, refer to the PSRR

Note 6: Input bias current is defined as the average of the input currents  
Note 11: Because the LTC6406 is a feedback amplifier with low output  
impedance, a resistive load is not required when driving an ADC.  
Therefore, typical output power can be very small in many applications. In  
order to compare the LTC6406 with “RF style” amplifiers that require 50Ω  
load, the output voltage swing is converted to dBm as if the outputs were  
flowing into the inputs (–IN, and +IN). Input offset current is defined as the

The LTC6406 is a small outline, wideband, low noise, and  
low distortion fully-differential amplifier with accurate  
output phase balancing. The LTC6406 is optimized to  
drive low voltage, single-supply, differential input analog-

voltage is independently adjustable by applying a voltage  
TheLTC6406outputcommonmodevoltage,definedasthe  
average of the two output voltages, is independent of the  
input common mode voltage, and is adjusted by applying

As levels of integration have increased and correspond-  
ingly, system supply voltages decreased, there has been  
a need for ADCs to process signals differentially in order  
to maintain good signal to noise ratios. These ADCs are  
typically supplied from a single supply voltage which can  
be as low as 3V, and will have an optimal common mode  
input range of 1.25V or 1.5V. The LTC6406 makes interfac-

shifting. The front page of this data sheet shows a typical

Figure 6. LTC6406 Internal Filter Topology  
In single supply applications, where the LTC6406 is used  
to interface to an ADC, the optimal common mode input  
range to the ADC is often determined by the ADC’s refer-  
ence. If the ADC makes a reference available for setting  
the input common mode voltage, it can be directly tied  
1.25pF(tolerance 15%)capacitorconnectedbetweenthe  
two filtered outputs. This resistor/capacitor combination  
creates filtered outputs that look like a series 50Ω resistor  
with a 3.75pF capacitor shunting each filtered output to  
AC ground, providing a –3dB bandwidth of 850MHz, and  
a noise bandwidth of 1335MHz. The filter cutoff frequency  
is easily modified with just a few external components. To  
increase the cutoff frequency, simply add two equal value  
resistors, one between +OUT and +OUTF and the other  
between –OUT and –OUTF (Figure 7). These resistors, in  
parallel with the internal 50Ω resistors, lower the overall  
resistance and therefore increase filter bandwidth. For  
example, to double the filter bandwidth, add two external  
50Ω resistors to lower the series filter resistance to 25Ω.  
The 3.75pF of capacitance remains unchanged, so filter  
bandwidth doubles. Keep in mind, the series resistance

OCM  
The V  
pin should be bypassed with a high quality  
OCM  
ceramic bypass capacitor of at least 0.01μF to filter any  
common mode noise rather than being converted to dif-  
ferential noise and to prevent common mode signals on  
this pin from being inadvertently converted to differential  
signals by impedance mismatches both externally and  
internally to the IC.  
Output Filter Considerations and Use  
Filtering at the output of the LTC6406 is often desired to  
provide antialiasing or to improve signal to noise ratio.  
To simplify this filtering, the LTC6406 in the QFN package  
includes an additional pair of differential outputs (+OUTF  
and –OUTF) which incorporate an internal lowpass RC  
network with a –3dB bandwidth of 850MHz (Figure 6).  
To decrease filter bandwidth, add two external capacitors,  
one from +OUTF to ground, and the other from –OUTF to  
ground. A single differential capacitor connected between  
+OUTF and –OUTF can also be used, but since it is being

OUTPUT NOISE  
The LTC6406’s input referred voltage noise is 1.6nV/√Hz.  
Its input referred current noise is 2.5pA/Hz. In addition  
to the noise generated by the amplifier, the surrounding  
feedback resistors also contribute noise. A noise model  
is shown in Figure 9. The output noise generated by both  
the amplifier and the feedback components is governed  
by the equation:

Figure 9. Noise Model of the LTC6406  
The differential filtered outputs +OUTF and –OUTF will  
have a little higher noise than the unfiltered outputs (due  
to the two 50Ω resistors which contribute 0.9nV/√Hz  
each), but can provide superior signal-to-noise due to the  
output noise filtering.

input referred common mode noise of the common  
mode amplifier path (which cannot be filtered) from being  
converted to differential noise, degrading the differential  
noise performance.  
V
OCM  
Because the LTC6406 is a very high speed amplifier, it is  
sensitive to both stray capacitance and stray inductance.  
In the QFN package, three pairs of power supply pins are  
provided to keep the power supply inductance as low  
as possible to prevent any degradation of amplifier 2nd  
harmonic performance. It is critical that close attention be  
paid to supply bypassing. For single supply applications  
it is recommended that high quality 0.1μF surface mount  
ceramic bypass capacitor be placed directly between each  
Feedback factor mismatch has a weak effect on distortion.  
Using 1% or better resistors will limit any mismatch from  
impacting amplifier linearity. However, in single supply  
level-shifting applications where there is a voltage differ-  
ence between the input common mode voltage and the  
output common mode voltage, resistor mismatch can  
make the apparent voltage offset of the amplifier appear  
worse than specified.

should be tied directly to a low impedance ground plane

recommended that additional high quality, 0.1μF ceramic

higher self resonant frequency than do leaded capacitors,  
and perform best in high speed applications.  
Interfacing the LTC6406 to A/D Converters  
Rail-to-rail input and fast settling time make the LTC6406  
ideal for interfacing to low voltage, single supply, differ-  
ential input ADCs. The sampling process of ADCs create  
a sampling glitch caused by switching in the sampling  
capacitorontheADCfrontendwhichmomentarilyshorts”  
theoutputoftheamplifieraschargeistransferredbetween  
the amplifier and the sampling capacitor. The amplifier  
mustrecoverandsettlefromthisloadtransientbeforethis  
acquisition period ends for a valid representation of the  
inputsignal. Ingeneral, theLTC6406willsettlemuchmore  
quickly from these periodic load impulses than from a 2V  
input step, but it is a good idea to either use the filtered  
outputs to drive the ADC (Figure 11 shows an example  
of this), or to place a discrete R-C filter network between  
the differential unfiltered outputs of the LTC6406 and the  
input of the ADC to help absorb the charge injection that  
comes out of the ADC from the sampling process. The  
capacitanceofthelternetworkservesasachargereservoir  
to provide high frequency charging during the sampling  
process, while the two resistors of the filter network are  
used to dampen and attenuate any charge kickback from  
the ADC. The selection of the R-C time constant is trial  
and error for a given ADC, but the following guidelines  
are recommended: Choosing too large of a resistor in the  
decoupling network leaving insufficient settling time will  
createavoltagedividerbetweenthedynamicinputimped-  
ance of the ADC and the decoupling resistors. Choosing  
too small of a resistor will possibly prevent the resistor

AlwayskeepinmindthedifferentialnatureoftheLTC6406,  
and that it is critical that the load impedances seen by both  
outputs (stray or intended), should be as balanced and  
symmetric as possible. This will help preserve the natural  
balance of the LTC6406, which minimizes the generation  
of even order harmonics, and improves the rejection of  
common mode signals and noise.  
It is highly recommended that the V  
pin be bypassed

to ground with a high quality ceramic capacitor whose  
value exceeds 0.01μF. This will help stabilize the common  
mode feedback loop as well as prevent thermal noise from  
the internal voltage divider and other external sources of  
noise from being converted to differential noise due to  
divider mismatches in the feedback networks. It is also  
recommended that the resistive feedback networks be  
comprised of 1% resistors (or better) to enhance the

from properly dampening the load transient caused by  
the sampling process, prolonging the time required for  
settling. In 16-bit applications, this will typically require  
a minimum of 11 R-C time constants. It is recommended  
that the capacitor chosen have a high quality dielectric  
(such as C0G multilayer ceramic).
