ZHCSCW7D October 2014 – February 2018 LMH5401
PRODUCTION DATA.
The LMH5401 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 has no low-end frequency cutoff and has 8-GHz gain product bandwidth. The LMH5401 is a substitute for a balun transformer in many applications.
The RO resistors 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. If there is a transmission line between the LMH5401 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 65.
