LMH6629
Ultra-Low Noise, High-Speed Operational Amplifier with
Shutdown
General Description
Features
The LMH6629 is a high-speed, ultra low-noise amplifier de-
signed for applications requiring wide bandwidth with high
gain and low noise such as in communication, test and mea-
surement, optical and ultrasound systems.

The LMH6629 operates on 2.7 to 5.5V supply with an input
common mode range that extends below ground and outputs
that swing to within 0.8V of the rails for ease of use in single
supply applications. Heavy loads up to ±250 mA can be driven
by high-frequency large signals with the LMH6629's –3dB
bandwidth of 900 MHz and 1600 V/µs slew rate. The
LMH6629 (LLP-8 package only) has user-selectable internal
compensation for minimum gains of 4 or 10 controlled by
pulling the COMP pin low or high, thereby avoiding the need
for external compensation capacitors required in competitive
devices. Compensation for the SOT23-5 package is internally
set for a minimum stable gain of 10 V/V. The LLP-8 package
also provides the power-down enable/ disable feature.

Applications
The low-input noise (0.69nV/√Hz and 2.6 pA/√Hz), low dis-
tortion (HD2/ HD3 = −90 dBc/−94 dBc) and ultra-low DC
errors (800 µV VOS maximum over temperature, ±0.45 µV/°C
drift) allow precision operation in both AC- and DC-coupled
applications.
