FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®6362 is a low power, low noise differential op
amp with rail-to-rail input and output swing that has been
optimized to drive low power SAR ADCs. The LTC6362
draws only 1mA of supply current in active operation, and
features a shutdown mode in which the current consump-
tion is reduced to 70μA.

The amplifier may be configured to convert a single-
ended input signal to a differential output signal, and is
capable of being operated in an inverting or noninverting
configuration.

Low offset voltage, low input bias current, and a stable
high impedance configuration make this amplifier suit-
able for use not only as an ADC driver but also earlier in
the signal chain, to convert a precision sensor signal to
a balanced (differential) signal for processing in noisy
industrial environments.
