1.7 GHz current-feedback amplifier in 8-SOIC
The LMH6702MAX/NOPB: With a -3dB bandwidth of 1.7 GHz and a slew rate of 3100V/µs, this part targets video distribution, pulse amplification, RF front-end buffers, and ADC driver stages that cannot tolerate the gain roll-off of a voltage-feedback topology. The current-feedback architecture means the bandwidth is largely independent of closed-loop gain, so you can set gain without trading off speed — the 1.7 GHz figure holds across moderate gain settings, not just at unity.
A 3100V/µs slew rate means the output can swing tens of volts in nanoseconds, which is the spec that matters when driving a flash ADC input or reconstructing a fast pulse train. For a 5 V peak-to-peak output step, the rise time is under 2 ns — the limiting factor becomes the PCB layout and parasitic capacitance, not the amplifier itself. The 80 mA output current per channel provides enough drive to charge the sampling capacitor of a high-speed ADC or to terminate a 50 Ω line with a 2 V swing. Pair this with a supply span of 10 V to 12 V for the full output swing; the 12.5 mA quiescent supply current is the thermal budget you trade for that speed.
Supply range is 10 V to 12 V. Input offset voltage is 1 mV and input bias current is 6 µA.
Lifecycle: still in current production
This matters for production BOMs that need multi-year supply assurance — you are not chasing date-code windows or broker surplus.
