900MHz –3dB Bandwidth
The LT 1993-4 is a low distortion, low noise Differential
Amplifier/ADC driver for use in applications from DC to
900MHz. The LT1993-4 has been designed for ease of
use, with minimal support circuitry required. Exceptionally
low input-referred noise and low distortion products
(with either single-ended or differential inputs) make the
LT1993-4 an excellent solution for driving high speed
12-bit and 14-bit ADCs. In addition to the normal unfiltered
outputs (+OUT and –OUT), the LT1993-4 has a built-in
175MHz differential lowpass filter and an additional pair
of filtered outputs (+OUTFILTERED, –OUTFILTERED) to
reduce external filtering components when driving high
speed ADCs. The output common mode voltage is easily

Differential ADC Driver for:
The LT1993-4 is designed to meet the demanding require-
ments of communications transceiver applications. It can
be used as a differential ADC driver, a general-purpose
differential gain block, or in any other application requir-
ing differential drive. The LT1993-4 can be used in data
acquisition systems required to function at frequencies
down to DC.
