5V power supply and consumes only 800mW. n 1.0nV/√Hz Total Input Noise In its differential configuration, the LTC6430-15 can directly n S11 < –15dB Up to 1.2GHz drive the differential inputs of an ADC. Using 1:2 baluns, n S22 < –15dB Up to 1.2GHz the device makes an excellent 50Ω wideband balanced n >2.75VP-P Linear Output Swing amplifier. While using 1:1.33 baluns, the device makes n P1dB = 24.0dBm a high fidelity 50MHz to 1000MHz 75Ω CATV amplifier. n Insensitive to VCC Variation n 100Ω Differential Gain-Block Operation The LTC6430-15 is designed for ease of use, requiring a n Input/Output Internally Matched to 100Ω Diff minimum of support components. The device is internally n Single 5V Supply matched to 100Ω differential source/load impedance. On- n DC Power = 800mW chip bias and temperature compensation ensure consistent n Unconditionally Stable performance over environmental changes. n 4mm × 4mm, 24-Lead QFN Package The LTC6430-15 uses a high performance SiGe BiCMOS process for excellent repeatability compared with similar

GaAs amplifiers. All A-grade LTC6430-15 devices are tested n Differential ADC Driver and guaranteed for OIP3 at 240MHz. The LTC6430-15 is n Differential IF Amplifier housed in a 4mm × 4mm, 24-lead, QFN package with an n OFDM Signal Chain Amplifier exposed pad for thermal management and low inductance. n 50Ω Balanced IF Amplifier For a single-ended 50Ω IF gain block with similar perfor- n 75Ω CATV Amplifier mance, see the related LTC6431-15. n 700MHz to 800MHz LTE Amplifier L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
