The LTC6405 input common mode range is rail-to-rail, while the output common mode voltage is independently adjustable by applying a voltage on the VOCM pin. This makes the LTC6405 ideal for level shifting signals with a wide common mode range for driving 12-bit to 16-bit single supply, differential input ADCs. n A 2.7GHz gain-bandwidth product results in 65dB linearity for 50MHz input signals. The LTC6405 is unity gain stable and the closed-loop bandwidth extends from DC to 800MHz. The output voltage swing extends from near-ground to 4V, to be compatible with a wide range of ADC converter input requirements. The LTC6405 draws only 18mA, and has a hardware shutdown feature which reduces current consumption to 400µA.

Exposure to any Absolute Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime. Note 2: Input pins (+IN, –IN, VOCM, SHDN and VTIP) are protected by steering diodes to either supply. If the inputs should exceed either supply voltage, the input current should be limited to less than 10mA. In addition, the inputs +IN, –IN are protected by a pair of back-to-back diodes. If the differential input voltage exceeds 1.4V, the input current should be limited to less than 10mA. Note 3: A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature below the Absolute Maximum Rating when the output is shorted indefinitely. Note 4: The LTC6405C/LTC6405I are guaranteed functional over the operating temperature range –40°C to 85°C. Note 5: The LTC6405C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from 0°C to 70°C. The LTC6405C 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 LTC6405I is guaranteed to meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C. Note 6: Input bias current is defined as the average of the input currents flowing into the inputs (–IN, and +IN). Input Offset current is defined as the difference between the input currents (IOS = IB+ – IB–). Note 7: Input common mode range is tested using the test circuit of Figure 1 by taking 3 measurements of differential gain with a ±1VDC differential output with VICM = 0V; VICM = 2.5V; VICM = 5V, verifying that the differential gain has not deviated from the VICM = 2.5V case by more than 0.5%, and that the common mode offset (VOSCM) has not deviated from the common mode offset at VICM = 2.5V by more than ±35mV. The voltage range for the output common mode range is tested using the test circuit of Figure 1 by applying a voltage on the VOCM pin and testing at both VOCM = 2.5V and at the Electrical Characteristics table limits to verify that the common mode offset (VOSCM) has not deviated by more than ±20mV from the VOCM = 2.5V case. Note 8: Input CMRR is defined as the ratio of the change in the input common mode voltage at the pins +IN or –IN to the change in differential input referred voltage offset. Output CMRR is defined as the ratio of the change in the voltage at the VOCM pin to the change in differential input referred voltage offset. This specification is strongly dependent on feedback ratio matching between the two outputs and their respective inputs, and it is difficult to measure actual amplifier performance. (See the “Effects of Resistor Pair Mismatch” in the Applications Information section of this data sheet.) For a better indicator of actual amplifier performance independent of feedback component matching, refer to the PSRR specification. Note 9: Differential Power Supply Rejection (PSRR) is defined as the ratio of the change in supply voltage to the change in differential input referred voltage offset. Common mode power supply rejection (PSRRCM) is defined as the ratio of the change in supply voltage to the change in the common mode offset, VOUTCM – VOCM. Note 10: Extended operation with the output shorted may cause the junction temperature to exceed the 150°C limit. Note 11: Because the LTC6405 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 LTC6405 with “RF style” amplifiers that require 50Ω load, the output voltage swing is converted to dBm as if the outputs were driving a 50Ω load. For example, 2VP-P output swing is equal to 10dBm using this convention. Note 12: Includes offset/drift induced by feedback resistors mismatch. See the Applications Information section for more details.

The voltage on VOCM sets the output common mode voltage level (which is defined as the average of the voltages on the +OUT and –OUT pins). The VOCM voltage is internally set by a resistive divider between the supplies, developing a default voltage potential of 2.5V with a 5V supply. The VOCM pin can be over-driven by an external voltage capable of driving the 19kΩ Thevenin equivalent impedance presented by the pin. The VOCM pin should be bypassed with a high quality ceramic bypass capacitor of at least 0.01µF, to minimize common mode noise from being converted to differential noise by impedance mismatches both externally and internally to the IC. V+ (Pin 3/Pins 2, 10, 11): V– (Pin 6/Pins 3, 9, 12): Power Supply Pins. It is critical that close attention be paid to supply bypassing. For single supply applications, it is recommended that a high quality 0.1µF surface mount ceramic bypass capacitor be placed between V+ and V– with direct short connections. In addition, V– should be tied directly to a low impedance ground plane with minimal routing. For dual (split) power supplies, it is recommended that additional high quality, 0.1µF ceramic capacitors are used to bypass V+ to ground and V– to ground, again with minimal routing. For driving large loads (<200Ω), additional bypass capacitance may be needed for optimal performance. Keep in mind that small geometry (e.g., 0603 or smaller) surface mount ceramic capacitors have a much higher self resonant frequency than do leaded capacitors, and perform best in high speed applications. +OUT, –OUT (Pins 4, 5/Pins 7, 14): Unfiltered Output Pins. Besides driving the feedback network, each pin can drive an additional 50Ω to ground with typical short circuit current limiting of ±60mA. Each amplifier output is designed to drive a load capacitance of 5pF. Larger capacitive loads should be decoupled with at least 15Ω resistors from each output. VTIP (Pin 5) QFN Only: This pin can normally be left floating. It determines which pair of input transistors (NPN or PNP or both) is sensing the input signal. The VTIP pin is set by an internal resistive divider between the supplies, developing a default 2.8V voltage with a 5V supply. VTIP has a Thevenin equivalent resistance of approximately 17k and can be over-driven by an external voltage. The VTIP pin should be bypassed with a high quality ceramic bypass capacitor of at least 0.01µF. See the Applications Information section for more details. SHDN (Pin 7/Pin 1): When SHDN is floating or directly tied to V+, the LTC6405 is in the normal (active) operating mode. When the SHDN pin is connected to V–, the LTC6405 enters into a low power shutdown state with Hi-Z outputs. +IN, –IN (Pins 8, 1/Pins 15, 6): Noninverting and Inverting Input Pins of the Amplifier, Respectively. For best performance, it is highly recommended that stray capacitance be kept to an absolute minimum by keeping printed circuit connections as short as possible. +OUTF, –OUTF (Pins 8, 13) QFN Only: Filtered Output Pins. These pins have a series RC network (R = 50Ω, C = 3.75pF) connected between the filtered and unfiltered outputs. See the Applications Information section for more details. NC (Pin 16) QFN Only: No Connection. This pin is not connected internally. Exposed Pad (Pin 9/Pin 17): Tie the bottom pad to V–. If split supplies are used, DO NOT tie the pad to ground. 6405fb For more information www.linear.com/6405 11 LTC6405 block diagrams LTC6405 Block Diagram/Pinout in MSOP Package 8 +IN 7 6 SHDN 5 V– –OUT V– V+ V+ 37k + 37k – V– V– V+ 1 –IN 2 VOCM 3 V+ 4 +OUT 6405 BD01 LTC6405 Block Diagram/Pinout in QFN Package 16 15 NC 14 +IN –OUT 13 –OUTF 1.25pF SHDN V– 12 1 V+ 2 V– 3 4 V+ V+ V– V+ + 37k V+ V+ 11 V+ V+ 10 1.25pF V+ – 37k 30k VOCM V– 50Ω V– 50Ω V– V– V– 9 38k 1.25pF V– 5 VTIP 6 –IN 7 +OUT 8 +OUTF 6405 BD02 6405fb 12 For more information www.linear.com/6405 LTC6405 applications information Functional Description The LTC6405 is a small outline, wideband, low noise, and low distortion fully-differential amplifier with accurate output phase balancing. The LTC6405 is optimized to drive low voltage, single-supply, differential input analogto-digital converters (ADCs). The LTC6405 input common mode range is rail-to-rail, while the output common mode voltage is independently adjustable by applying a voltage on the VOCM pin. The output voltage swing extends from near-ground to 4V, to be compatible with a wide range of ADC converter input requirements. This makes the LTC6405 ideal for level shifting signals with a wide common mode range for driving 12-bit to 16-bit single supply, differential input ADCs. The differential output allows for twice the signal swing in low voltage systems when compared to single-ended output amplifiers. The balanced differential nature of the amplifier also provides even-order harmonic distortion cancellation, and less susceptibility to common mode noise (like power supply noise). The LTC6405 can be used as a single ended input to differential output amplifier, or as a differential input to differential output amplifier. The LTC6405 output common mode voltage, defined as the average of the two output voltages, is independent of the input common mode voltage, and is adjusted by applying a voltage on the VOCM pin. If the pin is left open, there is an internal resistive voltage divider, which develops a potential of 2.5V (if the supply is 5V). It is recommended that a high quality ceramic cap is used to bypass the VOCM pin to a low impedance ground plane. The LTC6405’s internal common mode feedback path forces accurate output phase balancing to reduce even order harmonics, and centers each individual output about the potential set by the VOCM pin.

Figure 1. DC Test Circuit 6405fb For more information www.linear.com/6405 13 LTC6405 Applications Information The outputs (+OUT and –OUT) of the LTC6405 are capable of swinging from close-to-ground to typically 1V below V+. They can source or sink up to approximately 60mA of current. Each output is designed to directly drive up to 5pF to ground. Higher load capacitances should be decoupled with at least 15Ω of series resistance from each output. IC. The LTC6405 also has clamping diodes to either power supply on the VOCM, VTIP and SHDN pins and if driven to voltages which exceed either supply, they too, should be current limited to under 10mA. SHDN Pin The SHDN pin is a CMOS logic input with a 50k internal pull-up resistor. If the pin is driven low, the LTC6405 powers down with Hi-Z outputs. If the pin is left unconnected or driven high, the part is in normal active operation. Some care should be taken to control leakage currents at this pin to prevent inadvertently putting the LTC6405 into shutdown. The turn-on and turn-off time between the shutdown and active states are typically less than 1µs. Input Pin Protection The LTC6405 input stage is protected against differential input voltages which exceed 1.4V by two pairs of series diodes connected back to back between +IN and –IN. In addition, the input pins have clamping diodes to either power supply. If the input pins are over-driven, the current should be limited to under 10mA to prevent damage to the CF 0.1µF RI RF RT 16 NC 15 +IN V–OUTF 13 –OUTF V–OUT 14 –OUT LTC6405 1.25pF V– 12 SHDN VIN • • VSHDN 1 – + 2 0.1µF V– V– 3 VVOCM RT CHOSEN SO THAT RT||RI = 100Ω 50Ω V+ V+ 4 1.25pF – 0.1µF V – V+ 11 V+ VOCM V– V– 50Ω V– 0.1µF 50Ω V+ V+ 10 V – 0.1µF – 1.25pF V V – VOCM MINI-CIRCUITS TCM4-19 • + SHDN • 50Ω MINI-CIRCUITS TCM4-19 0.1µF 100Ω V+IN 0.1µF V– 9 0.1µF 0.01µF 5 VTIP 6 –IN 7 +OUT 0.01µF RT 0.1µF RI V–IN 8 +OUTF V+OUTF RF V+OUT 100Ω 0.1µF 6405 F02 DEFAULT VALUES PACKAGE RI RF CF MSOP* 300Ω 300Ω 1.0pF QFN 200Ω 200Ω 1.8pF CF (RI, RF : 0.1% RESISTORS) *TO OPTIMIZE THE HIGH FREQUENCY PERFORMANCE FOR THE PIN CONFIGURATION OF THE LTC6405 IN THE SMALL MSOP PACKAGE, A FEEDBACK RESISTANCE OF AT LEAST 300Ω IS RECOMMENDED. Figure 2. AC Test Circuit (–3dB BW Testing) 6405fb 14 For more information www.linear.com/6405 LTC6405 Applications Information General Amplifier Applications ∆b is defined as the difference in feedback factors: As levels of integration have increased and correspondingly, 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 LTC6405 makes interfacing to these ADCs easy, by providing both singleended to differential conversion as well as common mode level shifting. The gain to VOUTDIFF from VINM and VINP is: R VOUTDIFF = V+OUT – V–OUT ≈ F • ( VINP – VINM ) RI Note from the above equation, the differential output voltage (V+OUT – V–OUT) is completely independent of input and output common mode voltages, or the voltage at the common mode pin. This makes the LTC6405 ideally suited for pre-amplification, level shifting and conversion of single ended signals to differential output signals in preparation for driving differential input ADCs.∆ Effects of Resistor Pair Mismatch Figure 3 shows a circuit diagram which takes into consideration that real world resistors will not match perfectly.

Setting the differential input to zero (VINDIFF = 0), the degree of common mode to differential conversion is given by the equation: VOUTDIFF = V+OUT – V–OUT ≈ ( VICM – VOCM ) • RI2 V+IN VINP – bAVG is defined as the average feedback factor from the outputs to their respective inputs: + ∆b b AVG V–OUT + VOCM – – VINM RF is the average of RF1, and RF2, and RI is the average of RI1, and RI2.

Real-World Application with Feedback Resistor Pair Mismatch RI2 1 RI1 b AVG = • + 2 RI1 + RF1 RI2 + RF2 6405fb For more information www.linear.com/6405 15 LTC6405 Applications Information In general, the degree of feedback pair mismatch is a source of common mode to differential conversion of both signals and noise. Using 1% resistors or better will mitigate most problems, and will provide about 34dB worst case of common mode rejection. Using 0.1% resistors will provide about 54dB of common mode rejection. A low impedance ground plane should be used as a reference for both the input signal source and the VOCM pin. Bypassing the VOCM with a high quality 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to this ground plane will further help prevent common mode signals from being converted to differential signals. There may be concern on how feedback factor mismatch affects distortion. Feedback factor mismatch from using 1% resistors or better, has a negligible effect on distortion. However, in single supply level shifting applications where there is a voltage difference 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. the balanced differential case. The input impedance looking into either input is: RINP = RINM = RI 1 RF 1– 2 • R + R I F Input signal sources with non-zero output impedances can also cause feedback imbalance between the pair of feedback networks. For the best performance, it is recommended that the input source output impedance be compensated for. If input impedance matching is required by the source, a termination resistor R1 should be chosen (see Figure 4): R1= RINM • RS RINM – RS According to Figure 4, the input impedance looking into RINM RS The apparent input referred offset induced by feedback factor mismatch is derived from the above equation: RI R1 VS VOSDIFF(APPARENT) ≈ (VICM – VOCM) • ∆b R1 CHOSEN SO THAT R1 || RINM = RS R2 CHOSEN TO BALANCE R1 || RS Using the LTC6405 in a single supply application on a single 5V supply with 1% resistors, and the input common mode grounded, with the VOCM pin biased at 2.5V, the worst case DC offset can induce 25mV of apparent offset voltage. With 0.1% resistors, the worst case apparent offset reduces to 2.5mV. Input Impedance and Loading Effects The input impedance looking into the VINP or VINM input of Figure 1 depends on whether or not the sources VINP and VINM are fully differential or not. For balanced input sources (VINP = –VINM), the input impedance seen at either input is simply: RINP = RINM = RI For single ended inputs, because of the signal imbalance at the input, the input impedance actually increases over RF RI – + + – RF 6405 F04 R2 = RS || R1 Figure 4.

At the inputs to the actual op amp, the range extends from V– to V+. This makes it easy to interface to a wide range of common mode signals, from ground referenced to VCC referenced signals. Moreover, due to external resistive divider action of the gain and feedback resistors, the effective range of signals that can be processed is even wider. The input common mode range at the op amp inputs depends on the circuit configuration (gain), VOCM and VCM (refer to Figure 5). For fully differential input applications, where VINP = –VINM, the common mode input is approximately: To achieve rail-to-rail input operation, the LTC6405 features an NPN input stage in parallel with a PNP input stage. When the input common mode voltage is near V+, the NPNs are active while the PNPs are off. When the input common mode is near V–, the PNPs are active while the NPNs are off. At some range in the middle, both input stages are active. This ‘hand-off’ operation happens automatically. VICM = RI V+IN + V–IN + ≈ VOCM • 2 RI + RF RF VCM • RF + RI RI V+IN RF V–OUT + VINP – + VVOCM + VCM – VOCM – – VINM + RI V–IN RF 6405 F05 V+OUT In the QFN package, a special pin, VTIP, is made available that can be used to manipulate the ‘hand-off’ operation between the NPN and PNP input stages. By default, the VTIP pin is internally biased by an internal resistive divider between the supplies, developing a default 2.8V voltage with a 5V supply. If desired, VTIP can be over-driven by an external voltage (the Thevenin equivalent resistance is approximately 17k). If VTIP is pulled closer to V–, the range over which the NPN input pair remains active is increased, while the range over which the PNP input pair is active is reduced. In applications where the input common mode does not come close to V– , this mode can be used to further improve linearity beyond the specified performance (see Figure 6). If VTIP is pulled closer to V+, the range over which the PNP input pair remains active is increased, while the range over which the NPN input pair is active is reduced. In applications where the input common mode does not come close to V+, this mode can be used to further improve linearity beyond the specified performance. Figure 5.

Manipulating VTIP to Improve Harmonic Distortion 6405fb For more information www.linear.com/6405 17 LTC6405 Applications Information Output Common Mode Voltage Range Output Filter Considerations and Use The output common mode voltage is defined as the average of the two outputs: Filtering at the output of the LTC6405 is often desired to provide anti-aliasing or to improve signal to noise ratio. To simplify this filtering, the LTC6405 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 7). VOUTCM = VOCM = V+OUT + V–OUT 2 The VOCM pin sets this average by an internal common mode feedback loop which internally forces VOUTCM = VOCM. The output common mode range extends from 0.5V above V– to typically 1V below V+. The VOCM voltage is internally set by a resistive divider between the supplies, developing a default voltage potential of 2.5V with a 5V supply. In single supply applications, where the LTC6405 is used to interface to an ADC, the optimal common mode input range to the ADC is often determined by the ADC’s reference. If the ADC makes a reference available for setting the input common mode voltage, it can be directly tied to the VOCM pin (as long as it is able to drive the 19kΩ Thevenin equivalent input impedance presented by the VOCM pin). The VOCM pin should be bypassed with a high quality ceramic bypass capacitor of at least 0.01µF to filter any common mode noise rather than being converted to differential 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. These pins each have an output resistance of 50Ω (tolerance ±12%). Internal capacitances are 1.25pF (tolerance ±15%) to V– on each filtered output, plus an additional 1.25pF (tolerance ±15%) capacitor connected between the 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 8). 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 also serves to decouple the outputs from load capaci49.9Ω –OUTF –OUTF LTC6405 14 –OUT 13 LTC6405 –OUTF 1.25pF 50Ω –OUT 13 –OUTF 1.25pF V– 12 50Ω V– + FILTERED OUTPUT 1.25pF – 14 V– + 50Ω – 1.25pF V V – – 1.25pF V V – 9 9 7 +OUT 8 +OUTF 6405 F07 7 +OUTF +OUT 49.9Ω Figure 7.

The outputs of the LTC6405 are designed to drive 5pF to ground, so care should be taken to not lower the effective impedance between +OUT and +OUTF or –OUT and –OUTF below 15Ω. 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 driven differentially it will appear at each filtered output as a single-ended capacitance of twice the value. To halve the filter bandwidth, for example, two 3.9pF capacitors could be added (one from each filtered output to ground). Alternatively, one 1.8pF capacitor could be added between the filtered outputs, which also halves the filter bandwidth. Combinations of capacitors could be used as well; a three capacitor solution of 1.2pF from each filtered output to ground plus a 1.2pF capacitor between the filtered outputs would also halve the filter bandwidth (Figure 9). the amplifier and the feedback components is governed by the equation: 2 eno = RF 2 e • ni 1+ R + 2 • (In • RF ) + I 2 R 2 • enRI • F + 2 • enRF 2 RI A plot of this equation, and a plot of the noise generated by the feedback components for the LTC6405 is shown in Figure 11. enRI2 encm2 –OUT –OUTF –OUTF 1.25pF 50Ω – 7 8 eni2 RI RF enRF2 Figure 10.

LTC6405 Output Spot Noise vs Spot Noise Contributed by Feedback Network Alone 6405fb For more information www.linear.com/6405 19 LTC6405 Applications Information The LTC6405’s input referred voltage noise contributes the equivalent noise of a 155Ω resistor. When the feedback network is comprised of resistors whose values are less than this, the LTC6405’s output noise is voltage noise dominant (see Figure 11): R eno ≈ eni • 1+ F RI Feedback networks consisting of resistors with values greater than about 200Ω will result in output noise which is resistor noise and amplifier current noise dominant. eno ≈ 2 • (In • RF )2 + 1+ RRF • 4 • k • T • RF I Lower resistor values (<100Ω) always result in lower noise at the penalty of increased distortion due to increased loading of the feedback network on the output. Higher resistor values (but still less than <500Ω) will result in higher output noise, but typically improved distortion due to less loading on the output. The optimal feedback resistance for the LTC6405 runs in between 100Ω to 500Ω. 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. Layout Considerations Because the LTC6405 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 V+ and V– pin with direct short connections. The V– pins should be tied directly to a low impedance ground plane with minimal routing. For dual (split) power supplies, it is recommended that additional high quality, 0.1µF ceramic capacitors are used to bypass V+ to ground and V– to ground, again with minimal routing. For driving large loads (<200Ω), additional bypass capacitance may be needed for optimal performance. Keep in mind that small geometry (e.g., 0603) surface mount ceramic capacitors have a much higher self resonant frequency than do leaded capacitors, and perform best in high speed applications. Any stray parasitic capacitances to ground at the summing junctions, +IN and –IN, should be minimized. This becomes especially true when the feedback resistor network uses resistor values >500Ω in circuits with RF = RI. Always keep in mind the differential nature of the LTC6405, 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 LTC6405, which minimizes the generation of even order harmonics, and improves the rejection of common mode signals and noise. It is highly recommended that the VOCM 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 output common mode rejection. This will also prevent VOCM 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. 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 difference 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. 6405fb 20 For more information www.linear.com/6405 LTC6405 Applications Information Interfacing the LTC6405 to A/D Converters Rail-to-rail input and fast settling time make the LTC6405 ideal for interfacing to low voltage, single supply, differential input ADCs. The sampling process of ADCs create a sampling glitch caused by switching in the sampling capacitor on the ADC front end which momentarily “shorts” the output of the amplifier as charge is transferred between the amplifier and the sampling capacitor. The amplifier must recover and settle from this load transient before this acquisition period ends for a valid representation of the input signal. In general, the LTC6405 will settle much more quickly from these periodic load impulses than from a 2V input step, but it is a good idea to place an R-C filter network between the differential outputs of the LTC6405 and the input of the ADC to help absorb the charge injection that comes out of the ADC from the sampling process. The capacitance of the filter network serves as a charge reservoir to provide high frequency charging during the sampling process, while the 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 create a voltage divider between the dynamic input impedance of the ADC and the decoupling resistors. Choosing too small of a resistor will possibly prevent the resistor 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). 1.8pF VIN, 2VP-P 200Ω 16 NC 20Ω 200Ω 15 +IN 14 –OUT 13 SHDN SHDN 50Ω V+ + 2 0.1µF V– 3 4 V– V + 11 1.25pF V+ VOCM – V– 50Ω 5 V+ 10 – 1.25pF V V– VOCM 0.1µF CONTROL 12 1 5V –OUTF LTC6405 1.25pF V– 0.1µF 5V +INA 4.7pF 0.1µF 4.7pF 4.7pF LTC2208 –INA VCM GND VDD D15 • • D0 1µF 3.3V 1µF 9 VTIP 6 –IN 7 +OUT 8 +OUTF 6405 F12 2.2µF 0.1µF 200Ω 200Ω 20Ω 100Ω 1.8pF Figure 12.
