Product details
Overview
LMH6882SQE/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a DC–2.4-GHz dual programmable differential amplifier optimized for RF/IF signal conditioning in microwave backhaul, zero-IF and I/Q sampling systems. It delivers 26 dB to 6 dB voltage gain in 0.25-dB steps, 42 dBm OIP3 at 100 MHz, 9.7 dB noise figure, and 100 Ω differential input impedance - enabling direct interface with mixers and filters without external gain-setting components.
For engineers reviewing the LMH6882SQE/NOPB datasheet, LMH6882SQE/NOPB pinout, LMH6882SQE/NOPB application, or LMH6882SQE/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel programmable gain architecture, SPI/parallel digital control, thermal performance in the 6 mm × 6 mm WQFN package, and verified linearity across gain settings up to 2.4 GHz.
Technical Context
The LMH6882SQE/NOPB integrates three functional stages per channel: a low-noise amplifier, a digitally controlled attenuator, and a low-distortion output driver. Its architecture supports both differential (100 Ω) and single-ended (50 Ω) inputs, with independent OCM pins (OCMA/OCMB) setting output common-mode voltage via 2× gain scaling (e.g., 1.25 V → 2.5 V).
Gain control operates in two mutually exclusive modes: parallel mode (7-bit D0–D6 bus, 0.25-dB resolution, simultaneous update) and SPI-compatible serial mode (CS/CLK/SDI/SDO, 0.25-dB steps, independent channel programming). Power-down is supported via SD pin (parallel mode) or register write (SPI mode), reducing supply current from 270 mA to 25 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small Signal Bandwidth | 2.4 GHz - supports wideband RF/IF signal paths up to microwave frequencies without gain roll-off. |
| OIP3 @ 100 MHz | 42 dBm - enables high dynamic range in dense spectral environments like cellular base stations and microwave radios. |
| Voltage Gain Range | 6 dB to 26 dB - digitally programmable over 20 dB range with 0.25-dB step resolution for precise AGC implementation. |
| Noise Figure | 9.7 dB - maintains low system noise floor when driving ADCs in receiver front-ends with 100 Ω source impedance. |
| Input Impedance | 100 Ω differential / 50 Ω single-ended - eliminates external matching networks when interfacing with mixers, SAW filters, or 50-Ω sources. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - compatible with standard 5-V analog rails; supports stable operation across industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). |
| Channel Matching | 0.2 dB gain / 1.5° phase - ensures accurate I/Q signal integrity in quadrature sampling applications without calibration. |
Pinout & Package
The LMH6882SQE/NOPB is housed in a thermally enhanced 36-pin WQFN package (6.00 mm × 6.00 mm) with exposed center pad bonded to ground for optimal thermal dissipation (RθJC(bot) = 3.5 °C/W). Pin functions are validated per TI SNOSC84D Rev D datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INPDA, INMDA, INPSA, INMSA | Analog Input (Ch A) | Differential (100 Ω) or single-ended (50 Ω) inputs; unused input must be terminated to match impedance. |
| INPDB, INMDB, INPSB, INMSB | Analog Input (Ch B) | Independent dual-channel inputs enable simultaneous I/Q or diversity path processing. |
| OUTPA, OUTMA, OUTPB, OUTMB | Analog Output | Low-impedance differential outputs (0.4 Ω) drive 200-Ω loads directly; support AC/DC coupling. |
| OCMA, OCMB | Output Common-Mode Control | 2× gain scaling sets output DC bias (e.g., 1.25 V → 2.5 V); critical for ADC interface level alignment. |
| D0–D6, SD, SPI | Digital Control | Parallel gain/enable control (SPI = LOW); SPI mode (SPI = HIGH) enables CS/CLK/SDI/SDO for serial programming. |
| VCC (pins 3,4,24,25) | Power Supply | Four dedicated 4.75–5.25 V supply pins minimize IR drop and improve PSRR in high-speed operation. |
| GND (pins 5,6,22,23) | Ground | Four low-inductance ground connections and exposed thermal pad ensure stable reference and thermal management. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-channel programmability | Independent gain control per channel in SPI mode; synchronized gain update in parallel mode - eliminates inter-channel crosstalk in I/Q systems. |
| DC-coupled signal path | Full DC–2.4 GHz operation with self-biased input common-mode (2.5 V) - supports baseband, IF, and RF gain blocks without AC coupling constraints. |
| Thermal-enhanced WQFN | 36-pin 6 mm × 6 mm package with exposed thermal pad (RθJA = 33.6 °C/W) - sustains 1 W power dissipation at +85°C ambient without derating. |
| 0.25-dB gain resolution | 7-bit digital attenuation with ±0.125 dB step error - enables fine-grained automatic gain control for dynamic signal environments. |
| Low distortion at all gains | OIP3 ≥ 40 dBm across full 6–26 dB range (100–200 MHz); HD3 ≤ −76 dBc at 200 MHz - preserves signal fidelity in multi-tone LTE/5G waveforms. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LMH6882SQE/NOPB?
The LMH6882SQE/NOPB has a small-signal bandwidth of 2.4 GHz, verified per TI SNOSC84D datasheet Section 6.5. This allows full gain-bandwidth operation up to 2.4 GHz with minimal roll-off, making it suitable for microwave IF and direct RF sampling applications where signal integrity beyond 1 GHz is critical. The LMH6882SQE/NOPB maintains specified OIP3 and noise figure performance across this entire range.
Does the LMH6882SQE/NOPB support both differential and single-ended inputs?
Yes, the LMH6882SQE/NOPB supports both configurations per channel: differential inputs (INPDA/INMDA and INPDB/INMDB) with 100 Ω impedance, and single-ended inputs (INPSA/INMSA and INPSB/INMSB) with 50 Ω termination on the unused input. This flexibility eliminates external matching networks when interfacing with mixers, filters, or 50-Ω test equipment - a capability confirmed in Section 5 and Figure 39–40 of the LMH6882SQE/NOPB datasheet.
How does gain control work on the LMH6882SQE/NOPB?
The LMH6882SQE/NOPB supports two independent gain control modes: parallel (7-bit D0–D6 bus, SPI pin LOW) for fastest update (<20 ns), and SPI-compatible serial (CS/CLK/SDI/SDO, SPI pin HIGH) for 0.25-dB resolution and per-channel programming. In parallel mode, both channels share the same gain code; in SPI mode, each channel can be set independently. This dual-mode architecture is fully documented in Sections 7.4 and 7.5 of the LMH6882SQE/NOPB datasheet.
What is the purpose of the OCM pins on the LMH6882SQE/NOPB?
The OCMA and OCMB pins on the LMH6882SQE/NOPB set the output common-mode voltage with 2× gain scaling - applying 1.25 V yields 2.5 V at the differential outputs. This feature enables precise DC bias alignment with downstream ADCs or analog processors without external level-shifting circuitry. The function is defined in Section 5 (Pin Functions) and Figure 39–40 of the LMH6882SQE/NOPB datasheet, and is essential for DC-coupled I/Q signal chains.
Is the LMH6882SQE/NOPB pin-compatible with any other TI devices?
The LMH6882SQE/NOPB shares the identical 36-pin WQFN (NJK) package and pinout with the single-channel LMH6881SQE/NOPB, enabling PCB reuse in designs where channel count changes. However, no pin-compatible alternatives exist outside TI's LMH68xx family. This mechanical compatibility is explicitly stated in the "Device Information" table (page 2) and "Mechanical, Packaging, and Orderable Information" section (page 32) of the LMH6882SQE/NOPB datasheet.
