GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADA4939 is a low noise, ultralow distortion, high speed
differential amplifier. It is an ideal choice for driving high
performance ADCs with resolutions up to 16 bits from dc to
100 MHz. The output common-mode voltage is user adjustable
by means of an internal common-mode feedback loop, allowing
the ADA4939 output to match the input of the ADC. The internal
feedback loop also provides exceptional output balance as well as
suppression of even-order harmonic distortion products.
With the ADA4939, differential gain configurations are easily
realized with a simple external feedback network of four resistors
that determine the closed-loop gain of the amplifier.
The ADA4939 is fabricated using Analog Devices, Inc., proprietary
silicon-germanium (SiGe), complementary bipolar process,
enabling it to achieve very low levels of distortion with an input
voltage noise of only 2.3 nV/√Hz. The low dc offset and excellent
dynamic performance of the ADA4939 make it well suited for a
wide variety of data acquisition and signal processing applications.

The ADA4939 is available in a Pb-free, 3 mm × 3 mm 16-lead
LFCSP (ADA4939-1, single) or a Pb-free, 4 mm × 4 mm 24-lead
LFCSP (ADA4939-2, dual). The pinout has been optimized to
facilitate PCB layout and minimize distortion. The ADA4939-1
and the ADA4939-2 are specified to operate over the −40°C to
+105°C temperature range; both operate on supplies between
3.3 V and 5 V.

reliability.

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.

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, through holes, ground, and power
planes reduces θ
.
JA
Figure 4 shows the maximum safe power dissipation in the
package vs. the ambient temperature for the single 16-lead
LFCSP (98°C/W) and the dual 24-lead LFCSP (67°C/W) on a
JEDEC standard four-layer board with the exposed pad
soldered to a PCB pad that is connected to a solid plane.
The maximum safe power dissipation in the ADA4939 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 ADA4939. Exceeding a junction temperature
of 150°C for an extended period can result in changes in the
silicon devices, potentially causing failure.
