Quad, Differential I/O, 2X1 Multiplexed
High Gain Preamp
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MPA4609 is one of the lowest noise, fixed gain, 5V
single-supply, differential amplifiers available for amplifica-
tion of low-level signals in a variety of system applications.
The chip has two sets of four differential input, low-noise
amplifiers that are routed to four output stages. Two standard
logic input select lines control which set of four input preamps
are active. For applications such as tape recorders, four
heads in forward and four heads in reverse can be selected
at one time.
● 4 DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT CHANNELS
● 2 SETS OF 4 DIFFERENTIAL INPUTS
● 90MHz BANDWIDTH UP TO 3.5VPP OUTPUT
● GAIN OF 190V/V (No External Load)
● LOW 0.65nV/√Hz INPUT NOISE VOLTAGE
● 50mA QUIESCENT CURRENT (5V Supply)
● LOW CROSSTALK, TQFP-48 PACKAGING
● TTL/CMOS CHANNEL SELECT LINE
The quad consists of eight differential low noise (0.65nV√Hz)
voltage preamps. Two select lines control two pairs of inputs.
Each of the output stages provides a nominal 470Ω-output
impedance on each half of the differential output stages. The
overall gain of 190V/V may be attenuated by adding an
external load resistor between each set of differential out-
puts. For example, adding an external 940Ω resistor across
the output pins will reduce the nominal differential gain by
half to 95V/V.
APPLICATIONS
● TAPE PREAMP
● TEST EQUIPMENT
● MULTI-CHANNEL TWISTED PAIR RECEIVER
● SAW FILTER POSTAMPLIFIER
● HIGH GAIN QUAD ADC DRIVERS
● ULTRA SOUND PRE-AMPLIFIERS
Internal biasing controls the differential inputs to 2.0V and
outputs to a 2.1V common-mode operating level. The maxi-
mum no-load differential output swing is 3.5VPP centered on
the 2.1V bias level. A low input offset voltage and bias
current offset holds the maximum output differential offset to
< ±350mV for no-load conditions.

DESCRIPTION
Dual, Low-Noise Op Amp
Octal, 10-Bit 40MSPS ADC
The low (3.5pF) input capacitance makes this part useable
for applications requiring wide bandwidth and multiple pick-
ups often seen in testers, medical equipment, twisted pair
receivers, and optical systems. The single +5V supply and its
low quiescent current of 50mA make it exceptionally attrac-
tive in multi-channel, low power, high bandwidth designs.
