APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
To decrease fi lter bandwidth, add two external capaci-
tors, one from +OUTFILTERED to ground, and the other
from –OUTFILTERED to ground. A single differential
capacitor connected between +OUTFILTERED and –OUT-
FILTERED can also be used, but since it is being driven
differentially it will appear at each fi ltered output as a
single-ended capacitance of twice the value. To halve the
fi lter bandwidth, for example, two 36pF capacitors could
be added (one from each fi ltered output to ground). Al-
ternatively one 18pF capacitor could be added between
the fi ltered outputs, again halving the fi lter bandwidth.
Combinations of capacitors could be used as well; a three
capacitor solution of 12pF from each fi ltered output to
ground plus a 12pF capacitor between the fi ltered outputs
would also halve the fi lter bandwidth (Figure 7).
Bandpass fi ltering is also easily implemented with just a
few external components. An additional 120pF and 39nH,
each added differentially between +OUTFILTERED and
–OUTFILTERED creates a bandpass fi lter with a 71MHz
center frequency, –3dB points of 55MHz and 87MHz, and
1.6dB of insertion loss (Figure 8).

Output Common Mode Adjustment
The LT1993-4’s output common mode voltage is set by the
V

from 1.1V to 3.6V. Bandwidth of the V

When interfacing with most ADCs, there is generally a V
output pin that is at about half of the supply voltage of the
ADC. For 5V ADCs such as the LTC17XX family, this V
output pin should be connected directly (with the addition
of a 0.1µF capacitor) to the input V
For 3V ADCs such as the LTC22XX families, the LT1993-
4 will function properly using the 1.65V from the ADC’s
V
Range (SFDR) and distortion performance can be achieved
by level-shifting the LTC22XX’s V
to at least 1.8V. This can be accomplished as shown in
Figure 9 by using a resistor divider between the LTC22XX’s

age above 1.9V, AC coupling capacitors are recommended
between the LT1993-4 and the LTC22XX ADC because of
