Wideband, Low-Power, Ultra-High Dynamic Range
Differential Amplifier
ISL55210
The ISL55210 is a very wide band, Fully Differential Amplifier
(FDA) intended for high dynamic range ADC input interface
applications. This voltage feedback FDA design includes an
independent output common mode voltage control.
Intended for very high dynamic range ADC interface
applications, at the lowest quiescent power (115mW), the
ISL55210 offers a 4.0GHz Gain Bandwidth Product with a very
low input noise of 0.85nV/√(Hz). In a balanced differential I/O
configuration, with 2VP-P output into a 200 load configured
for a gain of 15dB, the IM3 terms are <-100dBc through
110MHz. With a minimum operating gain of 2V/V (6dB), the
ISL55210 supports a wide range of higher gains with minimal
BW or SFDR degradation. Its ultra high differential slew rate of
5,600V/s ensures clean large signal SFDR performance or a
fast settling step response.
The ISL55210 requires only a single 3.3V (max 4.2V) power
supply with 35mA typical quiescent current. This industry
leading low current solution can be further reduced when
needed using the optional power shutdown to <0.4mA supply
current. External feedback and gain setting resistors give
maximum flexibility and accuracy. A companion device, the
ISL55211, includes on-chip feedback and 3 possible gain
setting connections where an internally fixed gain solution is
preferred. The ISL55210 is available in a leadless, 16 Ld TQFN
package and is specified for operation over the -40C to +85C
ambient temperature range.
