GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADA4950-1/ADA4950-2 are gain-selectable versions of the
ADA4932-1/ADA4932-2 with on-chip feedback and gain resistors.
They are ideal choices for driving high performance ADCs as single-
ended-to-differential or differential-to-differential amplifiers. The
output common-mode voltage is user adjustable by means of an
internal common-mode feedback loop, allowing the ADA4950-1/
ADA4950-2 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.
Differential gain configurations of 1, 2, and 3 are easily realized
with internal feedback networks that are connected externally
to set the closed-loop gain of the amplifier.
The ADA4950-1/ADA4950-2 are fabricated using the Analog
Devices, Inc., proprietary silicon-germanium (SiGe) complementary
bipolar process, enabling them to achieve low levels of distortion and
noise at low power consumption. The low offset and excellent
dynamic performance of the ADA4950-x make it well suited for
a wide variety of data acquisition and signal processing applications.

The ADA4950-x is available in a Pb-free, 3 mm × 3 mm, 16-lead
LFCSP (ADA4950-1, single) or a Pb-free, 4 mm × 4 mm, 24-lead
LFCSP (ADA4950-2, dual). The pinout has been optimized to
facilitate PCB layout and minimize distortion. The ADA4950-1/
ADA4950-2 are specified to operate over the −40°C to +105°C
temperature range; both operate on supplies from +3 V to ±5 V.
