Fully differential amplifiers
Differential ADC drivers to increase dynamic range and improve distortion for your signal chain needs
Drive your precision and high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with our industry-leading fully differential amplifiers (FDAs). We offer the highest performance with the lowest noise, distortion and power to drive your design. Additionally, our FDAs are well suited for driving the output of precision and high-speed digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Our FDAs support both single-ended to differential and differential to single-ended functionality.
