Working Principles

The ADN4668ARUZ is designed to condition and shift the levels of differential signals. It operates by receiving differential input signals on the AIN+ and AIN- pins, and then amplifying and converting them into differential output signals on the AOUT+ and AOUT- pins. Similarly, it performs the same function for Channel B, with inputs on the BIN+ and BIN- pins and outputs on the BOUT+ and BOUT- pins.

The device utilizes internal circuitry to provide high-speed signal amplification and level shifting while maintaining low power consumption. The EN pin allows for enabling or disabling the device as needed. The REFIN and VREF pins are used for providing a reference voltage for the internal circuitry.
