JAJSEA6B December 2017 – February 2019 LMH5401-SP
PRODUCTION DATA.
The LMH5401-SP is designed as a single-ended-to-differential (SE-DE) and differential-to-differential (DE-DE) gain block configured with external resistors and gain-stable single-ended to differential for NG ≥ 2 V/V. The LMH5401-SP has no low-end frequency cutoff and has 6.5-GHz gain product bandwidth. The LMH5401-SP is a very attractive substitute for a balun transformer in many applications.
The resistors labeled RO serve to match the filter impedance to the 20-Ω amplifier differential output impedance. If no filter is used, these resistors may not be required if the ADC is located very close to the LMH5401-SP. If there is a transmission line between the LMH5401-SP and the ADC then the RO resistors must be sized to match the transmission line impedance. A typical application driving an ADC is shown in Figure 64.
