I am in the early stages of evaluating the suitability of the newly-announced AD8460 for one of my applications.
If I am understanding the datasheet correctly, the maximum output voltage of the AD8460 is +/- 40 V (80 Vpp). However, for my application, I need a minimum of +/- 60 V (120 Vpp). What are my options for increasing the output voltage range of the AD8460?
Is there another part currently in ADI's portfolio, or planned to be released within the next ~6 months, that provides similar capabilities as the AD8460 but with higher output power? Or would I combine the AD8460 with an external amplifier? If so, what amplifiers would you recommend for use with the AD8460?
(The specific application is excitation of piezoelectric wafer sensors, which we currently do using a large number of discrete components, including a high-speed DAC, various op-amps, and a Coilcraft DA2033, among other components. I am hoping to switch to something like the AD8460 to provide a miniaturized, highly-integrated solution to do the same job.)
