Texas Instruments op amp delivers industry's lowest distortion for driving high-speed 16-bit ADCs
New op amp maximizes performance across the signal chain for wireless broadband communications, high-speed data acquisition
DALLAS, Sept. 13 -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE:TXN) today introduced a high-linearity, low-distortion, fully-differential operational amplifier (op amp) that delivers 16-bit full-scale precision up to 200 MHz IF to maximize signal chain performance for wireless base stations, high-speed data acquisition, test and measurement, medical imaging and defense applications. The THS770006 op amp has an output third-order intercept (OIP3) of 48 dBm and the lowest distortion in its class, with a third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) of -107 dBc at 100 MHz, at least 14 dB better than competitive amplifiers. For more information and to order samples of the THS770006 op amp, visit http://www.ti.com/ths770006-pr.
"The advancements we've made in the performance of the THS770006 op amp will enable greater levels of receiver dynamic range in wireless systems - a requirement for base station manufacturers to meet the adjacent channel rejection and blocker requirements of next-generation networks," said Steve Anderson, senior vice president of TI's High-Performance Analog business unit. "Our customers can have confidence knowing the THS770006 op amp will help them realize the full potential of their high-speed signal chain."
Key features and benefits
-- Best-in-class distortion and high linearity help designers meet the
stringent sensitivity and bit-error rate (BER) requirements of
emerging wireless standards, such as LTE and multi-carrier GSM.
-- Seamlessly drives TI high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) -
including the new 16-bit, 130-MSPS ADS5493 - with full-scale, 3-V
peak-to-peak dynamic range for optimal design flexibility and
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance.
-- Provides fast overdrive recovery of 7.5 ns (maximum) to help minimize
the impact of lost or erroneous data from jammers and blockers,
resulting in improved wireless receiver signal integrity.
-- Speeds time-to-market when combined with TI's complete high-speed
signal chain portfolio - including high-performance multicore
C6000(TM) DSPs, high-speed ADCs like the ADS5493 and ADS4149, and
clocking solutions such as the CDCE72010 - for wireless base stations,
high speed data acquisition, test and measurement, medical imaging and
defense applications.
