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.

Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) (Norwood, MA) has introduced the 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. Additional features include:

•  −3 dB bandwidth of 5 GHz (AV = 6 dB).
• Single resistor programmable gain: 0 dB to 18 dB.
• Differential or single-ended input to differential output.
• Low harmonic distortion (HD2/HD3 @ AV = 6 dB).
  • −88/−69 dBc @ 250 MHz.
  • −77/−66 dBc @ 500 MHz.
  • −73/−72 dBc @ 1 GHz.
  • −63 dBc IMD3 @ 1 GHz.
• Slew rate:
  • 8,700 V/μs (AV = 6 dB, 2-V pk-pk output).
• Fast settling time of 1 ns to 1 percent and overdrive recovery of 10 ns.
• 5-V single-supply operation.
• 0.1 gain flatness to 300 MHz.
