GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADA4927 is a low noise, ultralow distortion, high speed,
current feedback differential amplifier that is an ideal choice for
driving high performance ADCs with resolutions up to 16 bits
from dc to 100 MHz. The output common-mode level can easily be
matched to the required ADC input common-mode levels. The
internal common-mode feedback loop provides exceptional output
balance and suppression of even-order distortion products.
Differential gain configurations are easily realized using an
external feedback network comprising four resistors. The
current feedback architecture provides loop gain that is nearly
independent of closed-loop gain, achieving wide bandwidth,
low distortion, and low noise at higher gains and lower power
consumption than comparable voltage feedback amplifiers.
The ADA4927 is fabricated using the Analog Devices, Inc., silicongermanium complementary bipolar process, enabling very low
levels of distortion with an input voltage noise of only 1.3 nV/√Hz.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings

other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
THERMAL RESISTANCE
θJA is specified for the device (including exposed pad) soldered
to a high thermal conductivity 2s2p circuit board, as described
in EIA/JESD 51-7.
The maximum safe power dissipation in the ADA4927 package
is limited by the associated rise in junction temperature (T
the die. At approximately 150°C, which is the glass transition
temperature, the plastic changes its properties. Even temporarily
exceeding this temperature limit can change the stresses that the
package exerts on the die, permanently shifting the parametric
performance of the ADA4927. Exceeding a junction temperature
of 150°C for an extended period can result in changes in the
silicon devices, potentially causing failure.

quiescent power dissipation and the power dissipated in the
package due to the load drive. The quiescent power is the voltage
between the supply pins (V
) times the quiescent current (IS).
S
The power dissipated due to the load drive depends upon the
particular application. The power due to load drive is calculated
by multiplying the load current by the associated voltage drop
across the device. RMS voltages and currents must be used in
these calculations.
Airflow increases heat dissipation, effectively reducing θ
addition, more metal directly in contact with the package leads/
exposed pad from metal traces, throughholes, ground, and power
planes reduces θ
.
