SNIS169F March 2013 – May 2024 LMT86
PRODUCTION DATA
A push-pull output gives the LMT86 the ability to sink and source significant current. This is beneficial when, for example, driving dynamic loads like an input stage on an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). In these applications the source current is required to quickly charge the input capacitor of the ADC. The LMT86 is ideal for this and other applications which require strong source or sink current.
The LMT86 supply-noise gain (the ratio of the AC signal on VOUT to the AC signal on VDD) was measured during bench tests. Figure 6-8 shows the typical attenuation found in the Typical Characteristics section. A load capacitor on the output can help to filter noise.
For operation in very noisy environments, some bypass capacitance should be present on the supply within approximately 5 centimeters of the LMT86.
