Part Number: LMH5401
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TINA-TI, THS4551

Hi Team,

I want to know that LMH5401 is stable for unity gain?.I am using this for single to differential conversion.

Can i operate this for dual supply ie +2.5V & -2.5 V?

my signal frequency is 15 Mhz & Vpp=2V . Signal will be square or pulse .

I am using Vocm=0V

Hi Shivakant,

no, the LMH5401 is not unity gain stable. Please read the datasheet (section 7.1, table 2, figure 56, etc.)

Yes, you can operate the LMH5401 with +/-2.5V supply voltage.

I would recommend to run the LMH5401 TINA Reference Design (Rev. B)

TINA-TI is a free simulation tool and can be downloaded here:

Why would you use an 8GHz part for a 15Mhz signal?

you should perhaps use the THS4551.

Recall, unity gain single to diff in an FDA is a noise gain of 2.

hanks Michael,

For your quick response.

Actually I need Ts (settling time < 10 ps).

My application is for CCD waveforms . Along with that we are making our design for generalization like CRO.

For upto 100 MHz BW, i require < 70 uVrms noise just input to ADC..Means echa Opamp should be ultra low noisy.

First stage we have Buffer & after that we have single to diffrential converor( which can supportunity gain along with other gain like 2, 4 etc).

As these type of signal frequency is max 15 MHz & Vpp=2 ( or may be 4)

Please suggest suitable components.

Sure, lets say you want 1% accuracy in 10psec - that is maybe 4 time constants, or 2.5psec implying a required amplifier bandwidth of 63GHz - good luck.

Sorry Michael,

It is 10 ns instead of 10 ps.

Ts=*10 ns

Could you suggest some P/N?

Although I simulated LMH5401 through Tina. with Gain=1(For Vin= 10 MHz Square wave & Sine wave, 1Vpp)

& Getting proper response without oscillation.Is something i am doing wrong?

Schematic is as follow:

Hi Shivakant,

why are you doing this, if the datasheet does not recommend this?
