APPLICATIONS ADC drivers Single-ended-to-differential converters IF and baseband gain blocks Differential buffers Line drivers GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD8138 is a major advancement over op amps for The AD8138 eliminates the need for a transformer with high differential signal processing. The AD8138 can be used as a performance ADCs, preserving the low frequency and dc infor- single-ended-to-differential amplifier or as a differential-to- mation. The common-mode level of the differential output is differential amplifier. The AD8138 is as easy to use as an op adjustable by a voltage on the V pin, easily level-shifting the OCM amp and greatly simplifies differential signal amplification and input signals for driving single-supply ADCs. Fast overload driving. Manufactured on ADI’s proprietary XFCB bipolar recovery preserves sampling accuracy. process, the AD8138 has a −3 dB bandwidth of 320 MHz and The AD8138 distortion performance makes it an ideal ADC delivers a differential signal with the lowest harmonic distortion driver for communication systems, with distortion performance available in a differential amplifier. The AD8138 has a unique good enough to drive state-of-the-art 10-bit to 16-bit converters internal feedback feature that provides balanced output gain at high frequencies.

ESD CAUTION ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. Rev.
