JAJSEU5D October 2014 – February 2018 LMH5401
PRODUCTION DATA.
The LMH5401 is a fully-differential amplifier (FDA) configurable with external resistors for noise gain greater than 2 V/V or 6 dB (GBP = 8 GHz). For most of this document, data is collected for G = 12 dB for single-ended-to-differential (SE-DE) and differential-to-differential (DE-DE) conversions in the diagrams shown in the Test Schematics section. When matching the output to a 100-Ω load, the evaluation module (EVM) uses external
40-Ω resistors to complete the output matching. Having on-chip output resistors creates two potential reference points for measuring the output voltage. The amplifier output pins create one output reference point (OUT_AMP). The other output reference point is the point at the matched 100-Ω load (OUT_LOAD). These points are shown in Figure 56 to Figure 59; see the Test Schematics section.
Most measurements in the Electrical Characteristics tables and in the Typical Characteristics sections are measured with reference to the OUT_AMP reference point. The conversion between reference points is a straightforward reduction of 3 dB for power and 6 dB for voltage, as shown in Equation 1. The measurements are referenced to OUT_AMP when not specified.
