Texas Instruments LMH3401 Fully-Differential Amplifiers
Texas Instruments LMH3401 Fully-Differential Amplifiers are an ultra-wideband, very high-performance, differential amplifier optimized for Radio Frequency (RF), Intermediate Frequency (IF), or high-speed, time-domain applications. These devices are ideal for dc- or ac-coupled applications that require a single-ended to differential conversion when driving an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). The LMH3401 generates very low levels of second-order and third-order distortion when operating in single-ended-input to differential-output or differential-input to differential-output mode. The on-chip resistors simplify Printed Circuit Board (PCB) implementation and provide the highest performance over the usable bandwidth of 2GHz. This performance makes the Texas Instruments LMH3401 ideal for applications such as test and measurement, broadband communications, and high-speed data acquisition. A common-mode reference input pin is provided to align the amplifier output common-mode with the ADC input requirements. Use these devices with power supplies between 3.3V and 5.0V; dual-supply operation is supported when required by the application.Features
