ADA4960-1 work for differential input to single-ended output?

Thread Summary

The user inquires about converting a base-band differential input to a single-ended output with a 4 GHz bandwidth using the ADA4960-1. The final answer confirms the ADA4960-1 can be used for this purpose, but with a halved gain. A differential to single-ended converter is suggested to address the gain issue, and the terminated output should not be connected to ground. No suitable replacement part is currently available for the 4 GHz requirement.

Hi,

I need to convert a base-band differential input to a single-ended output, bandwidth of 4 GHz. ADA4960-1 is a fully differential amplifier, so I assume I can terminate one of the differential outputs to create a differential input to single-output buffer amplifier, but the datasheet only shows the opposite case: single ended input to differential output. Will I be able to use this part for differential in to single out? If not, is there another part that would work?

Thank you,

Erin
