LT6604-10
Dual Very Low Noise,
Differential Amplifier and
10MHz Lowpass Filter
DESCRIPTION
TheLT®6604-10consistsoftwomatched, fullydifferential
amplifiers,eachwitha4thorder,10MHzlowpassfilter.The
fixed frequency lowpass filter approximates a Chebyshev
response. By integrating a filter and a differential ampli-
fier, distortion and noise are made exceptionally low. At
unity gain, the measured in band signal-to-noise ratio is
an impressive 82dB. At higher gains, the input referred
noise decreases, allowing the part to process smaller
input differential signals without significantly degrading
the signal-to-noise ratio.

Specified for Operation with 3V, 5V and 5V Supplies
Gain and phase are highly matched between the two chan-
nels. Gain for each channel is independently programmed
using two external resistors. The LT6604-10 enables level
shifting by providing an adjustable output common mode
voltage, making it ideal for directly interfacing to ADCs.
