LT6604-15 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION In Figure 3 the LT6604-15 is providing 12dB of gain. The voltage at VMID, for VS = 3.3V, is 1.65V. The voltage at the gain resistor has an optional 62pF in parallel to improve DAC pins is given by: the passband fl atness near 15MHz. The common mode R1 R1• R2 output voltage is set to 2V. V • • DAC = VMID +I R1 IN +R2+ 536 R1+R2 Use Figure 4 to determine the interface between the LT6604-15 and a current output DAC. The gain, or “tran- = 77mV +I • 45.3Ω simpedance,” is defi ned as A = V IN OUT/IIN. To compute the transimpedance, use the following equation: I + – IN is IIN or IIN . The transimpedance in this example is 49.8Ω. 536 • R1 A = (Ω) (R1+R2) Evaluating the LT6604-15 By setting R1 + R2 = 536Ω, the gain equation reduces The low impedance levels and high frequency operation to A = R1 (Ω). of the LT6604-15 require some attention to the matching The voltage at the pins of the DAC is determined by R1, networks between the LT6604-15 and other devices. The R2, the voltage on V previous examples assume an ideal (0Ω) source impedance MID and the DAC output current. Consider Figure 4 with R1 = 49.9Ω and R2 = 487Ω. The and a large (1k) load resistance.
