DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
6600-20 combines a fully differential amplifier with a
4th order 20MHz lowpass filter approximating a Chebyshev
frequency response. Most differential amplifiers require
many precision external components to tailor gain and
bandwidth. In contrast, with the LT6600-20, two external
resistors program differential gain, and the filter’s 20MHz
cutoff frequency and passband ripple are internally set.
The LT6600-20 also provides the necessary level shifting
to set its output common mode voltage to accommodate
the reference voltage requirements of A/Ds.
Using a proprietary internal architecture, the LT6600-20
integrates an antialiasing filter and a differential ampli-
fier/driver without compromising distortion or low noise
performance. At unity gain the measured in band signal-
to-noise ratio is an impressive 76dB. At higher gains the
input referred noise decreases so the part can process
smaller input differential signals without significantly
degrading the output signal-to-noise ratio.
The LT6600-20 also features low voltage operation. The
differential design provides outstanding performance for
a 2V
P-P
signal level while the part operates with a single
3V supply.
The LT6600-20 is packaged in an SO-8 and is pin compat-
ible with stand alone differential amplifiers.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
This is the temperature coefficient of the internal feedback
resistors assuming a temperature independent external resistor (R
IN
).
Note 3:
The input common mode voltage is the average of the voltages
applied to the external resistors (R
IN
). Specification guaranteed for R
IN
≥
100Ω.
Note 4:
Distortion is measured differentially using a differential stimulus.
The input common mode voltage, the voltage at Pin 2, and the voltage at
Pin 7 are equal to one half of the total power supply voltage.
Note 5:
Output common mode voltage is the average of the voltages at
Pins 4 and 5. The output common mode voltage is equal to the voltage
applied to Pin 2.
Note 6:
The LT6600C-20 is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range –40°C to 85°C.
Note 7:
The LT6600C-20 is guaranteed to meet 0°C to 70°C specifications
and is designed, characterized and expected to meet the extended
temperature limits, but is not tested at –40°C and 85°C. The LT6600I-20 is
guaranteed to meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C.
Note 8:
The inputs are protected by back-to-back diodes. If the differential
input voltage exceeds 1.4V, the input current should be limited to less than
10mA.
