ADI's 5 GHz Differential Amplifier Drives Gigasample ADCs
on Just 60 mA of Quiescent Current
ADI’s ADA4960-1 differential amplifier is industry’s first to drive 1-GHz data converter signals with 8-bit
linearity
  NORWOOD,
Mass.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a world leader in high-performance
signal processing and leading provider of amplifier and data conversion technologies, introduced today the
industry’s first 5-GHz
differential amplifier able to drive
ADC (analog-to-digital converter) signals from DC to 1 GHz at half the power of competing products. The
ADA4960-1 differential amplifier is a
high-performance, low-distortion, ultra-high-speed differential amplifier effective for a wide variety of
high-speed ADCs with 10-bit linearity to 500 MHz and 8-bit linearity up to 1 GHz. The
ADA4960-1 differential amplifier can drive a wide
variety of ADCs, such as Analog Devices’
AD9626 12-bit ADC and the
AD9211 10-bit ADC.
The
ADA4960-1 differential amplifier (data
sheet) consumes just 60 mA of quiescent current when operating up to 1 GHz. The amplifier features a 8,700
V/μs (volts per microsecond) slew rate (AV = 6 dB, 2-V step) and wideband, low-distortion performance for
frequencies up to and beyond 1 GHz, which make it effective for RF (radio frequency) and IF (immediate frequency)
wired communications applications in
industrial and instrumentation, defense electronics and aerospace designs. The user accessible gain adjust and
bandwidth extension features allow configuration of the ADA4960-1 for line driver and channel equalization
applications.
