View design document

Overview

Demonstration circuit 1264 features the LTC6410-6, a high-speed, low noise, and low distortion differential intermediate frequency (IF) amplifier. This four-port evaluation board is optimized for network analysis or in-circuit evaluation with minimal parasitics. The LTC6410-6 accepts supply voltages from 2.8V to 5.25V and can directly drive 50Ω loads. Key features include adjustable input impedance via external resistors and a self-bias voltage adjustment pin (VOCM). The board's SMA connector spacing allows direct interface with DC1119 demo boards for Linear Technology LT5527, LT5557, and LT5559 downconverting mixers.
