The LT®6600-2.5 combines a fully differential amplifier
with a 4th order 2.5MHz lowpass filter approximating a
Chebyshev frequency response. Most differential amplifiers require many precision external components to tailor
gain and bandwidth. In contrast, with the LT6600-2.5, two
external resistors program differential gain, and the filter’s
2.5MHz cutoff frequency and passband ripple are internally set. The LT6600-2.5 also provides the necessary level
shifting to set its output common mode voltage to accommodate the reference voltage requirements of A/Ds.
Using a proprietary internal architecture, the LT6600-2.5
integrates an antialiasing filter and a differential amplifier/
driver without compromising distortion or low noise
performance. At unity gain the measured in band
signal-to-noise ratio is an impressive 86dB. At higher
gains the input referred noise decreases so the part can
process smaller input differential signals without significantly degrading the output signal-to-noise ratio.
The LT6600-2.5 also features low voltage operation. The
differential design provides outstanding performance for
a 4VP-P signal level while the part operates with a single 3V
supply. The LT6600-2.5 is available in an SO-8 package.
For similar devices with higher cutoff frequency, refer to
the LT6600-10 and LT6600-20 data sheets.

IN – and IN + (Pins 1, 8): Input Pins. Signals can be applied
to either or both input pins through identical external
resistors, RIN. The DC gain from differential inputs to the
differential outputs is 1580Ω/RIN.
VOCM (Pin 2): Is the DC Common Mode Reference Voltage
for the 2nd Filter Stage. Its value programs the common
mode voltage of the differential output of the filter. Pin 2 is
a high impedance input, which can be driven from an
external voltage reference, or Pin 2 can be tied to Pin 7 on
the PC board. Pin 2 should be bypassed with a 0.01µF
ceramic capacitor unless it is connected to a ground plane.
V+ and V – (Pins 3, 6): Power Supply Pins. For a single
3.3V or 5V supply (Pin 6 grounded) a quality 0.1µF
ceramic bypass capacitor is required from the positive
supply pin (Pin 3) to the negative supply pin (Pin 6). The
bypass should be as close as possible to the IC. For dual
supply applications, bypass Pin 3 to ground and Pin 6 to
ground with a quality 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
OUT+ and OUT – (Pins 4, 5): Output Pins. Pins 4 and 5 are
the filter differential outputs. Each pin can drive a 100Ω
and/or 50pF load to AC ground.
VMID (Pin 7): The VMID pin is internally biased at midsupply, see block diagram. For single supply operation,
the VMID pin should be bypassed with a quality 0.01µF
ceramic capacitor to Pin 6. For dual supply operation, Pin
7 can be bypassed or connected to a high quality DC
ground. A ground plane should be used. A poor ground
will increase noise and distortion. Pin 7 sets the output
common mode voltage of the 1st stage of the filter. It has
a 5.5kΩ impedance, and it can be overridden with an
external low impedance voltage source.

output voltage is 1.65V, and the differential output voltage
is 2VP-P for frequencies below 2.5MHz. The common
mode output voltage is determined by the voltage at pin 2.
Since pin 2 is shorted to pin 7, the output common mode
is the mid-supply voltage. In addition, the common mode
input voltage can be equal to the mid-supply voltage of
Pin␣ 7.
Interfacing to the LT6600-2.5
The LT6600-2.5 requires two equal external resistors, RIN,
to set the differential gain to 1580Ω/RIN. The inputs to the
filter are the voltages VIN+ and VIN– presented to these
external components, Figure 1. The difference between
VIN+ and VIN– is the differential input voltage. The average
of VIN+ and VIN– is the common mode input voltage.
Similarly, the voltages VOUT+ and VOUT– appearing at Pins
4 and 5 of the LT6600-2.5 are the filter outputs. The
difference between VOUT+ and VOUT– is the differential
output voltage. The average of VOUT+ and VOUT– is the
common mode output voltage.
Figure 2 shows how to AC couple signals into the
LT6600-2.5. In this instance, the input is a single-ended
signal. AC coupling allows the processing of single-ended
or differential signals with arbitrary common mode levels.
The 0.1µF coupling capacitor and the 1580Ω gain setting
resistor form a high pass filter, attenuating signals below
1kHz. Larger values of coupling capacitors will proportionally reduce this highpass 3dB frequency.
Figure 1 illustrates the LT6600-2.5 operating with a single
3.3V supply and unity passband gain; the input signal is
DC coupled. The common mode input voltage is 0.5V, and
the differential input voltage is 2VP-P. The common mode

In Figure 3 the LT6600-2.5 is providing 12dB of gain. The
common mode output voltage is set to 2V.
Use Figure 4 to determine the interface between the
LT6600-2.5 and a current output DAC. The gain, or “transimpedance,” is defined as A = VOUT/IIN. To compute the
transimpedance, use the following equation:
A=
1580 • R1
(Ω )
(R1+ R2)
By setting R1 + R2 = 1580Ω, the gain equation reduces to
A = R1(Ω).
The voltage at the pins of the DAC is determined by R1,
R2, the voltage on Pin 7 and the DAC output current.
Consider Figure 4 with R1 = 49.9Ω and R2 = 1540Ω. The
voltage at Pin 7 is 1.65V. The voltage at the DAC pins is
given by:
R1
R1 • R2
VDAC = VPIN7 •
+ IIN •
R1 + R2 + 1580
R1 + R2
= 26mV + IIN • 48.3Ω
IIN is IIN+ or IIN–. The transimpedance in this example is
49.6Ω.
Evaluating the LT6600-2.5
The low impedance levels and high frequency operation of
the LT6600-2.5 require some attention to the matching
networks between the LT6600-2.5 and other devices. The
previous examples assume an ideal (0Ω) source impedance and a large (1kΩ) load resistance. Among practical
examples where impedance must be considered is the
evaluation of the LT6600-2.5 with a network analyzer.
Figure 5 is a laboratory setup that can be used to characterize the LT6600-2.5 using single-ended instruments
with 50Ω source impedance and 50Ω input impedance.
For a 12dB gain configuration the LT6600-2.5 requires a
402Ω source resistance yet the network analyzer output is
calibrated for a 50Ω load resistance. The 1:1 transformer,
53.6Ω and 388Ω resistors satisfy the two constraints
above. The transformer converts the single-ended source
into a differential stimulus. Similarly, the output of the
LT6600-2.5 will have lower distortion with larger load
resistance yet the analyzer input is typically 50Ω. The 4:1
turns (16:1 impedance) transformer and the two 402Ω
resistors of Figure 5, present the output of the LT6600-2.5
with a 1600Ω differential load, or the equivalent of 800Ω
to ground at each output. The impedance seen by the
network analyzer input is still 50Ω, reducing reflections in
the cabling between the transformer and analyzer input.
Differential and Common Mode Voltage Ranges
The rail-to-rail output stage of the LT6600-2.5 can process
large differential signal levels. On a 3V supply, the output
signal can be 5.1VP-P. Similarly, a 5V supply can support
signals as large as 8.8VP-P. To prevent excessive power
dissipation in the internal circuitry, the user must limit
differential signal levels to 9VP-P.
The two amplifiers inside the LT6600-2.5 have independent control of their output common mode voltage (see
the “Block Diagram” section). The following guidelines
will optimize the performance of the filter.
Pin 7 can be allowed to float; Pin 7 must be bypassed to an
AC ground with a 0.01µF capacitor or some instability may
be observed. Pin 7 can be driven from a low impedance

source, provided it remains at least 1.5V above V – and at
least 1.5V below V +. An internal resistor divider sets the
voltage of Pin 7. While the internal 11k resistors are well
matched, their absolute value can vary by ±20%. This
should be taken into consideration when connecting an
external resistor network to alter the voltage of Pin 7.
Pin 2 can be shorted to Pin 7 for simplicity. If a different
common mode output voltage is required, connect Pin 2
to a voltage source or resistor network. For 3V and 3.3V
supplies the voltage at Pin 2 must be less than or equal to
the mid supply level. For example, voltage (Pin 2) ≤ 1.65V
on a single 3.3V supply. For power supply voltages higher
than 3.3V the voltage at Pin 2 can be set above mid supply.
The voltage on Pin 2 should not exceed 1V below the
voltage on Pin 7. The voltage on Pin 2 should not be more
than 2V above the voltage on Pin 7. Pin 2 is a high
impedance input.
The LT6600-2.5 was designed to process a variety of input
signals including signals centered around the mid-supply
voltage and signals that swing between ground and a
positive voltage in a single supply system (Figure 1). The
range of allowable input common mode voltage (the
average of VIN+ and VIN– in Figure 1) is determined by
the power supply level and gain setting (see “Electrical
Characteristics”).
Common Mode DC Currents
In applications like Figure 1 and Figure 3 where the
LT6600-2.5 not only provides lowpass filtering but also
level shifts the common mode voltage of the input signal,
DC currents will be generated through the DC path between input and output terminals. Minimize these currents
to decrease power dissipation and distortion.
Consider the application in Figure 3. Pin 7 sets the output
common mode voltage of the 1st differential amplifier
inside the LT6600-2.5 (see the “Block Diagram” section)
at 2.5V. Since the input common mode voltage is near 0V,
there will be approximately a total of 2.5V drop across the
series combination of the internal 1580Ω feedback resistor and the external 402Ω input resistor. The resulting
1.25mA common mode DC current in each input path,
must be absorbed by the sources VIN+ and VIN–. Pin 2 sets
the common mode output voltage of the 2nd differential
amplifier inside the LT6600-2.5, and therefore sets the
common mode output voltage of the filter. Since, in the
example of Figure 3, Pin 2 differs from Pin 7 by 0.5V, an
additional 625µA (312µA per side) of DC current will flow
in the resistors coupling the 1st differential amplifier
output stage to filter output. Thus, a total of 3.125mA is
used to translate the common mode voltages.
A simple modification to Figure 3 will reduce the DC
common mode currents by 36%. If Pin 7 is shorted to
Pin 2 the common mode output voltage of both op amp
stages will be 2V and the resulting DC current will be 2mA.
Of course, by AC coupling the inputs of Figure 3, the
common mode DC current can be reduced to 625µA.
Noise
The noise performance of the LT6600-2.5 can be evaluated with the circuit of Figure 6.
Given the low noise output of the LT6600-2.5 and the 6dB
attenuation of the transformer coupling network, it will be
necessary to measure the noise floor of the spectrum
analyzer and subtract the instrument noise from the filter
noise measurement.
Example: With the IC removed and the 25Ω resistors
grounded, Figure 6, measure the total integrated noise
(eS) of the spectrum analyzer from 10kHz to 2.5MHz. With
the IC inserted, the signal source (VIN) disconnected, and
the input resistors grounded, measure the total integrated
noise out of the filter (eO). With the signal source connected, set the frequency to 100kHz and adjust the amplitude until VIN measures 100mVP-P. Measure the output
amplitude, VOUT, and compute the passband gain

The noise at each output is comprised of a differential
component and a common mode component. Using a
transformer or combiner to convert the differential outputs
to single-ended signal rejects the common mode noise and
gives a true measure of the S/N achievable in the system.
Conversely, if each output is measured individually and the
noise power added together, the resulting calculated noise
level will be higher than the true differential noise.
Power Dissipation
The LT6600-2.5 amplifiers combine high speed with largesignal currents in a small package. There is a need to
ensure that the dies’s junction temperature does not
exceed 150°C. The LT6600-2.5 package has Pin 6 fused to
the lead frame to enhance thermal conduction when
connecting to a ground plane or a large metal trace. Metal
trace and plated through-holes can be used to spread the
heat generated by the device to the backside of the PC
board. For example, on a 3/32" FR-4 board with 2oz
copper, a total of 660 square millimeters connected to Pin
6 of the LT6600-2.5 (330 square millimeters on each side
of the PC board) will result in a thermal resistance, θJA, of

about 85°C/W. Without extra metal trace connected to the
V – pin to provide a heat sink, the thermal resistance will be
around 105°C/W. Table 2 can be used as a guide when
considering thermal resistance.
Junction temperature, TJ, is calculated from the ambient
temperature, TA, and power dissipation, PD. The power
dissipation is the product of supply voltage, VS, and
supply current, IS. Therefore, the junction temperature is
given by:
TJ = TA + (PD • θJA) = TA + (VS • IS • θJA)
where the supply current, IS, is a function of signal level,
load impedance, temperature and common mode
voltages.
For a given supply voltage, the worst-case power dissipation occurs when the differential input signal is maximum, the common mode currents are maximum (see

Currents), the load impedance is small and the ambient
temperature is maximum. To compute the junction temperature, measure the supply current under these worstcase conditions, estimate the thermal resistance from
Table 2, then apply the equation for TJ. For example, using
the circuit in Figure 3 with DC differential input voltage of
1V, a differential output voltage of 4V, no load resistance
and an ambient temperature of 85°C, the supply current
(current into Pin 3) measures 37.6mA. Assuming a PC
board layout with a 35mm2 copper trace, the θJA is
100°C/W. The resulting junction temperature is:
TJ = TA + (PD • θJA) = 85 + (5 • 0.0376 • 100) = 104°C
When using higher supply voltages or when driving small
impedances, more copper may be necessary to keep TJ
below 150°C.
