Hi
I have an application where I need a transconductance amplifier/buffer with >= 400MHz of bandwidth
I can't find any off-the-shelf part for this
Are the Input buffers stages given in Figure 1 of the datasheet linear? Or are they purely made for digital signals?
If they are linear could I use this chip as a transconductance amp, driving it with small-amplitude (<1Vpk) sinewave signals instead of digital (square) CML signals?
Inputs would be differential IQ signals (so 1 chip for I and 1 chip for Q)
I know this is not the intended use of the chip so I'm not looking for any commitment that it would work: I just want to know if it's theoretically feasible with this chip or if it's not possible at all and I should drop the idea
Thanks for your help
