Product details
Overview
LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fully differential amplifier integrated with a 4th-order 2.5MHz Chebyshev lowpass antialiasing filter, delivering ±0.6dB passband ripple, 86dB SNR at 3V/1VRMS, and programmable gain via two external resistors. It operates from single 3V or 5V supplies and sets output common mode voltage via VOCM pin - optimized for high-speed ADC driver and DAC smoothing in base station signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF datasheet, LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF pinout, LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF application, or LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 2.5MHz cutoff, input-referred noise of 51μVRMS (10kHz–2.5MHz), differential output swing up to 5.5VP-P on 3V, distortion performance (95dBc 2nd/88dBc 3rd at 1MHz), and SO-8 package compatibility with standard differential amplifier footprints.
Technical Context
The LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF implements a proprietary monolithic architecture combining two cascaded differential amplifiers with an internal 4th-order lowpass filter stage, eliminating need for external precision passive components. Its gain is set by external RIN resistors (e.g., 1580Ω for unity gain), while cutoff frequency and passband ripple are factory-trimmed and temperature-stable.
It features independent control of first-stage common mode via VMID (internally biased at mid-supply) and second-stage common mode via VOCM (user-programmable), enabling precise level-shifting for ADC reference alignment. Input bias current is –35μA to –15μA, and power supply current is 26–33mA depending on supply voltage and load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Cutoff Frequency | 2.5MHz - fixed internal filter bandwidth; defines Nyquist zone for 5MSPS ADCs. |
| Passband Ripple | ±0.6dB max - ensures flat group delay response critical for pulse fidelity in comms systems. |
| SNR | 86dB at 3V/1VRMS - enables high-resolution digitization of small-signal baseband waveforms. |
| Input-Referred Noise | 51μVRMS (10kHz–2.5MHz) - determines minimum detectable signal in low-level sensor or DAC output paths. |
| Differential Output Swing | 5.5VP-P on 3V supply - supports full-scale drive into 800Ω loads without clipping in portable RF front ends. |
| Harmonic Distortion | 95dBc 2nd / 88dBc 3rd at 1MHz - meets LTE/WCDMA ACLR requirements for transmitter chain filtering. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3V, 5V, or ±5V - allows direct integration into mixed-voltage signal chains without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8) package with exposed lead frame for thermal enhancement. Pin 6 is fused to the lead frame and must be connected to ground plane for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 100°C/W typical).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN+) | Differential Input Noninverting | Accepts one side of differential or single-ended input; forms gain-setting network with RIN. |
| 2 (NC) | No Connection | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected per datasheet. |
| 3 (VOCM) | Output Common Mode Reference | High-impedance input setting average DC level of OUT+ and OUT–; bypass with 0.01μF to ground. |
| 4 (V–) | Negative Supply Rail | Ground reference for single-supply operation; connects to PCB ground plane for thermal conduction. |
| 5 (OUT–) | Differential Output Inverting | Delivers filtered, amplified inverted signal; drives 100Ω + 50pF loads directly. |
| 6 (OUT+) | Differential Output Noninverting | Delivers filtered, amplified noninverted signal; fused to lead frame for heat dissipation. |
| 7 (VMID) | Mid-Supply Bias Reference | Internally biased at VS/2; sets 1st-stage common mode; bypass with 0.01μF to V–. |
| 8 (IN–) | Differential Input Inverting | Accepts complementary input; matched to IN+ for common-mode rejection >63dB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Antialiasing Filter | Monolithic 4th-order Chebyshev response eliminates discrete RC ladder design effort and component tolerance sensitivity. |
| Programmable Differential Gain | Set precisely via two identical external RIN resistors (e.g., 402Ω → 4V/V); avoids gain error from mismatched feedback networks. |
| Adjustable Output Common Mode | VOCM pin enables dynamic alignment of output DC level to match ADC reference voltage (e.g., 1.65V for 3.3V ADCs). |
| Low-Voltage Operation | Full performance at 3V supply - reduces system power and enables battery-powered test equipment and portable radios. |
| SO-8 Pin Compatibility | Matches industry-standard differential amplifier pinouts (e.g., AD813x, THS45xx), simplifying board reuse and layout migration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar differential amplifier and lowpass filter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT6600IS8-2.5#PBF | Same silicon, extended –40°C to 85°C operating range; higher tested temp grade. | Required for industrial or outdoor base station deployments where ambient exceeds 70°C. | Select when full industrial temperature qualification is mandatory; otherwise LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF suffices for commercial environments. |
| AD8138ARZ | Wideband differential ADC driver (320MHz GBW); no integrated filter; requires external RC antialiasing network. | Used where variable cutoff frequency or higher bandwidth (>2.5MHz) is needed; lacks monolithic filter integration. | Choose when system requires reconfigurable filtering or >10MHz signal bandwidth; accept added layout complexity and component count. |
Compared with LT6600IS8-2.5#PBF, the LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF offers identical electrical performance but is specified only from 0°C to 70°C - suitable for indoor telecom infrastructure and lab equipment. Versus AD8138ARZ, it trades bandwidth flexibility for guaranteed 2.5MHz filter response and reduced external component count.

FAQ
What is the maximum differential input voltage the LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF can handle without damage?
The LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF has absolute maximum differential input voltage of ±1.4V due to internal back-to-back diode protection. Exceeding this risks permanent damage. For safe operation, keep differential input ≤2VP-P (as characterized in Electrical Characteristics) and limit input current to <10mA using series resistors if overvoltage is possible. The part's rail-to-rail output stage supports up to 9VP-P differential swing, but input protection is limited to ±1.4V.
Can the LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF operate from a single 3.3V supply?
Yes, the LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF is fully specified and characterized for single 3V and 5V supplies - including 3.3V operation. At 3.3V, VMID is ~1.65V and VOCM must be ≤1.65V for low distortion. The datasheet confirms 86dB SNR and 5.1–5.5VP-P differential output swing under 3V conditions, and Figure 1 explicitly shows 3.3V operation with DC-coupled input and 1.65V common mode output.
How do I set unity gain on the LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF?
To set unity differential gain on the LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF, connect two identical 1580Ω resistors (RIN) from IN+ and IN– to the input signal source. The gain equation is 1580Ω/RIN, so 1580Ω yields exactly 1V/V. Use 1% metal-film resistors for best matching. Gain remains stable across temperature because the internal 1580Ω feedback resistor tracks RIN's temperature coefficient - confirmed by the 780ppm/°C gain TC specification.
Does the LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF require external compensation components?
No, the LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF requires no external compensation components. Its 4th-order 2.5MHz lowpass filter and differential amplifier stages are fully internal and factory-trimmed. Only two external RIN resistors set gain, and bypass capacitors (0.1μF on V+/V–, 0.01μF on VOCM and VMID) are required for stability and noise reduction - per Figures 1–3 and Pin Functions section. No RC networks, inductors, or op-amp compensation are needed.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF in standard SO-8 layout?
The LT6600CS8-2.5#PBF has θJA = 100°C/W in standard SO-8 layout with no added copper. With 330mm² copper area on top and bottom layers connected to Pin 6 (exposed lead frame), θJA improves to ~85°C/W. Table 3 in the datasheet confirms 105°C/W for zero copper and 65°C/W with 1100mm² copper - all values measured on FR-4. Junction temperature must stay ≤150°C; at 33mA and 5V, PD = 165mW, so max ambient is 85°C even with 100°C/W θJA.
