APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Referring to Figure 3, LTC6401-14 can be easily confi gured LTC6401-14 1/2 R 100 S Ω 500Ω 12.5Ω 1/2 RL for single-ended input and differential output without a 13 +IN +OUT 8 balun. The signal is fed to one of the inputs through a 50Ω IN+ OUT– matching network while the other input is connected to +OUTF V 7 IN 14 +IN + VOUT the same matching network and a source resistor. Because – 50Ω 2.7pF the return ratios of the two feedback paths are equal, the 15 –IN IN– OUT+ –OUTF 6 two outputs have the same gain and thus symmetrical 1/2 R 100 S Ω 500Ω 12.5Ω 1/2 RL swing. In general, the single-ended input impedance and 16 –IN –OUT 5 640114 F04 termination resistor RT are determined by the combination of R

For example, when RS is 50Ω, it is found that the single-ended input impedance is 185Ω and RT is and noise is obvious when constant noise fi gure circle 68.5Ω in order to match to a 50Ω source impedance. and constant gain circle are plotted within the input Smith Chart, based on which users can choose the optimal source RS 0.1μF LTC6401-14 50Ω 100Ω 500Ω 12.5Ω impedance for a given gain and noise requirement. 13 +IN +OUT 8 VIN + – R 50Ω T IN+ OUT–

Alternatively, the differential 0.1μF 100Ω 500Ω 12.5Ω output impedance of 25Ω can be made larger, e.g. 50Ω, 16 –IN –OUT 5 by series resistors or LC network. 29Ω 640114 F03 The internal low pass fi lter outputs at +OUTF/–OUTF

can reduce the lowpass fi lter bandwidth as shown in Figure 5. A bandpass fi lter is easily implemented with The LTC6401-14 is unconditionally stable, i.e. differential LTC6401-14 stability factor Kf>1 and stability measure B1>0. However, 100Ω 500Ω 12.5Ω the overall differential gain is affected by both source 13 +IN +OUT 8 50 impedance and load impedance as shown in Figure 4: Ω 8pF IN+ OUT– +OUTF 7 14 +IN FILTERED OUTPUT 12pF V 1000 R (87.5MHz) OUT L 50Ω 2.7pF AV = = • 15 –IN IN– OUT+ –OUTF 6 V R + 200 25+R IN S L 8pF 100Ω 500Ω 12.5Ω 16 –IN –OUT 5 The noise performance of the LTC6401-14 also depends 640114 F05 upon the source impedance and termination.
