GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADA4960-1 is a high performance, differential amplifier optimized for RF and IF applications. It achieves better than 63 dB IMD3 performance for frequencies up to and beyond 1 GHz, making it an ideal driver for 8-bit to 10-bit giga-sample analogto-digital converters (ADCs).
The device is optimized for the best combination of slew rate, bandwidth, and broadband distortion. These attributes allow it to drive a wide variety of ADCs. It is ideally suited for driving mixers, pin diode attenuators, SAW filters, and multi-element discrete devices.
The buffered inputs of the ADA4960-1 isolate the gain-setting resistor (RG) from the signal inputs, maintaining a constant 10 kΩ input resistance, easing matching and input drive requirements. The ADA4960-1 has a nominal 150 Ω differential output impedance.
The user accessible gain adjust and bandwidth extension features allow configuration of the ADA4960-1 for line driver and channel equalization applications.
The ADA4960-1 is optimized for wideband, low distortion performance for frequencies up to and beyond 1 GHz. These attributes, together with its adjustable gain capability, make this device the amplifier of choice for general-purpose IF and broadband applications where low distortion, noise, and power are critical.
The quiescent current of the ADA4960-1 is typically 60 mA. When disabled, it consumes less than 3 mA, offering excellent input-tooutput isolation. Fabricated on an Analog Devices, Inc., high speed SiGe process, the ADA4960-1 is available in a compact 3 mm × 3 mm, 16-lead LFCSP. It operates over the temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.

ADA4960-1 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS Table 2. Parameter Supply Voltage, VCC VIP, VIN Internal Power Dissipation Maximum Junction Temperature Operating Temperature Range Storage Temperature Range
Rating 5.25 V VCC + 0.5 V See Figure 3 150°C −40°C to +85°C −65°C to +150°C
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
The power dissipated in the package (PD) is the sum of the quiescent power dissipation and the power dissipated in the package due to the load drive. The quiescent power is the voltage between the supply pins (VS) times the quiescent current (IS). The power dissipated due to the load drive depends upon the particular application. The power due to load drive is calculated by multiplying the load current by the associated voltage drop across the device. RMS voltages and currents must be used in these calculations. Airflow increases heat dissipation, effectively reducing θJA. In addition, more metal directly in contact with the package leads/ exposed pad from metal traces, through holes, ground, and power planes reduce θJA. Figure 3 shows the maximum safe power dissipation of the ADA4960-1 vs. the ambient temperature on a JEDEC standard 4-layer board.

Unit °C/W
MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION The maximum safe power dissipation in the ADA4960-1 package is limited by the associated rise in junction temperature (TJ) on the die. At approximately 150°C, which is the glass transition temperature, the plastic changes its properties. Even temporarily exceeding this temperature limit can change the stresses that the package exerts on the die, permanently shifting the parametric performance of the ADA4960-1. Exceeding a junction temperature of 150°C for an extended period can result in changes in the silicon devices, potentially causing failure.

ADA4960-1 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION BASIC STRUCTURE The ADA4960-1 is a low noise, fully differential amplifier/ADC driver that uses a single 5 V supply at 60 mA. This amplifier has buffered inputs that isolate the gain-setting resistor (RG) from the input signals, keeping a constant 10 kΩ differential input impedance for all gains. The differential output impedance is 150 Ω. The gain range is 0 dB to 18 dB and is set using a single resistor (RG). 0.1µF RS 2

The ADA4960-1 can be ac-coupled or dc-coupled at the inputs and/or outputs within the specified input and output commonmode range. The inputs, VIP and VIN, have a common-mode voltage range of 2.25 V to 2.75 V and are internally set at VCC/2. The outputs, VOP and VON, have a common-mode voltage range of 1.0 V to 2.75 V that can be set externally using the VOCM pin. The VOCM pin is internally set to VCC/2 with no external connection. The input of the device can be configured as single-ended or differential with similar HD3 distortion results.

The differential broadband input is provided by the ETC1-1-13 balun transformer. The two 25 Ω resistors, R1 and R2, provide the 50 Ω match to the 50 Ω ac source. The 0.1 μF capacitors, connected in series with the inputs and outputs, isolate the source and balanced load from the internal bias. RG is the gain-setting resistor. Load RL should equal 100 Ω to provide the expected ac performance (see the Specifications section). Different loads can be applied with the gain value described by the gain adjust equation (see the Gain Adjust section).

The ADA4960-1 can also be configured as a single-ended-inputto-differential-output driver, as shown in Figure 32. R1 provides the input source match, and R2 balances the input source impedances.

For normal operation, the enable pin (PD) should be tied to VCC. When the ADA4960-1 is pulled low, it goes into power-down mode. The VOP and VON outputs are internally biased at VCC/2 with no external source. The output common-mode range can be adjusted in the range of 1 V to 2.75 V by applying an external source voltage to the VCOM pin.

BANDWIDTH EXTENSION
The gain of the ADA4960-1 is set with a single resistor, RG, connected across the IIP and IIN pins. Because the output impedance is 150 Ω, the load affects the gain. The voltage gain can be calculated for both differential and single-ended inputs as follows:
The bandwidth of the ADA4960-1 can be extended for both differential and single-ended input configurations by connecting a capacitor, CS, in parallel with the gain-setting resistor, RG, as shown in Figure 35. 5V 0.1µF

ADA4960-1 ADC INTERFACING
The signal source can be directly connected to the ADA4960-1 inputs as long as the source dc level is within the common-mode input range of the ADA4960-1, as shown in Figure 40.
The ADA4960-1 is a high speed amplifier with linearity performance to drive high speed ADCs up to 1 GHz. Several options are available to the designer to interface with an ADC.
5V
A 100 Ω resistor across the outputs of the ADA4960-1 enhances system bandwidth and distortion performance when the ADA4960-1 is driving an ADC with high input impedance. Lighter load resistance improves distortion performance and lowers the overall bandwidth.

The user accessible gain adjust and bandwidth extension features allow configuration of the ADA4960-1 for line driver and channel equalization applications from dc to 6.5 Gbps. Because of its extremely low distortion performance and high linearity, the ADA4960-1 can be deployed in cable and backplane channels to extend channel length and improve signaling margin for serial links using receive equalization and transmit pre-emphasis. The ADA4960-1 unidirectional signal path is protocol and encoding agnostic, supporting myriad signaling types such as NRZ and PAM2/4/8/N, coded (8b/10b), uncoded, and out-of-band (SATA-OOB) data.

ADA4960-1 OVERDRIVE AND RECOVERY When overdriven, the ADA4960-1 limits its outputs to 3.4 V typical with no overshoot, as shown in Figure 42. This feature protects the ADC from transients, eliminating the need for additional external clamping at the inputs of the ADC.
Recovery from overdrive is 6.7 ns to 1%, 9.3 ns to 0.5%, and 12.6 ns to 0.25% of the final output voltage, see Figure 43. 0.096

ADA4960-1 LAYOUT, GROUNDING, AND BYPASSING The ADA4960-1 is a high speed device. Realizing its superior performance requires attention to the details of high speed printed circuit board (PCB) design.
If the driver/receiver is more than one-eighth of the wavelength from the amplifier, the signal trace widths should be minimal. This nontransmission line configuration requires the underlying and adjacent ground and low impedance planes to be cleared near the signal lines.
The first requirement is to use a multilayer PCB with solid ground and power planes that cover as much of the board area as possible.
The exposed thermal paddle is internally connected to the ground pin of the amplifier. Solder the paddle to the low impedance ground plane on the PCB to ensure the specified electrical performance and to provide thermal relief. To reduce thermal impedance further, it is recommended that the ground planes on all layers under the paddle be connected together with vias.
Bypass each power supply pin directly to a nearby ground plane, as close to the device as possible. Use 0.1 μF high frequency ceramic chip capacitors. Provide low frequency bulk bypassing, using 10 μF tantalum capacitors from each supply to ground. Stray transmission line capacitance in combination with package parasitics can potentially form a resonant circuit at high frequencies, resulting in excessive gain peaking or possible oscillation.
1.5mm 1.2mm
Use radio frequency transmission lines to connect the driver and receiver to the amplifier.

Signal routing should be short and direct to avoid such parasitic effects. Provide symmetrical layout for complementary signals to maximize balanced performance.
