DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
6362 is a low power, low noise differential op amp
with rail-to-rail input and output swing that has been
optimized to drive low power SAR ADCs. The amplifier may
be configured to buffer a fully differential input signal or
convert a single-ended input signal to a differential output
signal. Demo circuit 1833A contains the LTC6362 amplifier
configured as a unity gain amplifier with 1kΩ feedback
and input resistors, where both inputs are AC-coupled by
a 1μF capacitor. The differential outputs of the DC1833A
can be configured with a first order RC network for driving

the differential inputs of an ADC. The LTC6362 differential
output can be DC-coupled or AC-coupled (AC-coupled is
the default configuration). Onboard jumpers configure
the DC1833A for dual or single power supply. In addition,
there are several optional surface mount pads that can be
used to change the LTC6362 configuration.
