3 Description

The LMH6551 device is a high-performance voltage

feedback differential amplifier and is part of the LMH™ integrated circuits family of devices. The

LMH6551 has the high speed and low distortion

necessary for driving high-performance ADCs as well

as the current handling capability to drive signals over balanced transmission lines like CAT 5 data cables.

The LMH6551 can handle a wide range of video and data formats.

With external gain set resistors, the LMH6551 can be

used at any desired gain. Gain flexibility coupled with

high speed makes the LMH6551 suitable for use as

an IF amplifier in high-performance communications equipment.

The LMH6551 is available in the space-saving SOIC and VSSOP packages.
