Precision Differential Amplifier Drives 20-Bit ADCs Consuming Less than 2mA

MILPITAS, CA – September 24, 2015 – Linear Technology introduces the LTC6363, a low power, high precision, fully differential amplifier optimized for driving high performance 16-, 18- and 20-bit SAR and ?? ADCs. Featuring 100µV maximum input offset voltage and 2.9nV/?Hz input-referred voltage noise, the LTC6363 consumes just 19mW on a 10V supply. It can convert single-ended signals to differential outputs or be used in a fully differential manner, settling an 8VP-P differential output step to 18-bit resolution in just 780ns. Four external resistors set the LTC6363 gain. The LT5400 family of highly matched quad resistors can be used to … Read More → "Precision Differential Amplifier Drives 20-Bit ADCs Consuming Less than 2mA"
