The TRF0208-SP is a very high performance fully differential amplifier (FDA) optimized for radio frequency (RF) applications. This device is excellent for ac-coupled applications that require a single-ended to differential conversion when driving an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) such as the high-performance AFE7950-SP or ADC12DJ5200-SP. The on-chip matching components simplify printed circuit board (PCB) implementation and provide the highest performance over the usable bandwidth. The device is fabricated using TI’s advanced complementary BiCMOS process, and available in a space-saving WQFN-FCRLF package.

The TRF0208-SP operates on a single-rail supply and consumes about 138mA of active current. A power-down feature is available for power savings.
