Optimized for dc-coupled 8-bit data acquisition applications with input frequencies up to 750 MHz, the LMH6555 differential driver features a 53-dB SFDR performance at 750 MHz and requires no external circuitry for output clamping, common-mode control, and gain. The driver converts singled-ended signals into differential signals while providing a fixed gain of 13.7 dB and a bandwidth of 1.2 GHz.

Housed in a 16-pin LLP package, the driver also provides 0.5-dB gain flatness to 330 MHz, a noise figure of 15 dB at 3.3 V, and second- and third-harmonic distortion of ¨C53 and ¨C54 dBc at 750 MHz. The device operates as a fully differential driver or as a single-ended-to-differential converter.
