DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
The LT®1993-10 is a low distortion, low noise Differential
Amplifier/ADC driver for use in applications from DC to
700MHz. The LT1993-10 has been designed for ease of
use, with minimal support circuitry required. Exception-
ally low input-referred noise and low distortion products
(with either single-ended or differential inputs) make the
LT1993-10 an excellent solution for driving high speed
12-bitand14-bitADCs.Inadditiontothenormalunfiltered
outputs (+OUT and –OUT), the LT1993-10 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
speedADCs.Theoutputcommonmodevoltageiseasilyset
