The LT6552 is a new wideband difference amplifier. Offering excellent common-mode rejection at high frequencies (CMRR is greater than 60 dB at 10 MHz), the LT6552 minimizes the effects of high-frequency noise pickup, allowing signals to be sent over long lines without fear of corruption by external noise sources or crosstalk. Designed for video applications but also useful for general-purpose signal processing, this versatile amplifier can be used in differential or single-ended input configurations.

The LT6552 features a 75-MHz –3-dB bandwidth, 600-V/µs slew rate, and ±70-mA output current, making it ideal for driving cables. The input voltage range includes ground simplifying single supply operation. The output swings rail-to-rail, providing maximum output dynamic range. In addition, a shutdown feature is included to reduce power dissipation. The LT6552 is ideal for use as a twisted pair or differential line receiver, coax cable driver, twisted pair to coax cable converter, and cable-tap amplifier for loop-through connections in a wide variety of video applications.

The LT6652 is offered in the space-saving 3 mm × 3 mm DFN package. It is specified for operation over the industrial and commercial temperature ranges. Pricing starts at $1.10 each in 1000-piece quantities.
