Product Overview

The SX8138MO is a fully differential amplifier for ADC driving designed as a functional alternative to the AD8138. It delivers Differential Driver performance in a SOIC-8 package with Differential analog interface, providing a fast China-based alternative path.

The SX8138MO achieves frequency coverage from 350 MHz bandwidth and slew rate of 1200 V/μs. Power consumption should be verified against the latest datasheet or with FAE; operating range remains -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.

The SX8138MO is part of our Differential Driver product portfolio, offering both performance and availability advantages. Standard lead time is approximately 6 weeks, with complete reference designs, application support, and schematic review services to help customers quickly complete China-based replacement or second-source introduction.

Model Comparison

The SX8138MO is a functional alternative to the AD8138 — a 350 MHz fully differential ADC driver (FDA) for driving high-performance ADCs. As an amplifier, this part is evaluated on bandwidth, slew rate, noise and distortion rather than converter resolution and sampling rate. We recommend small-batch sample verification before mass production; our FAE team provides full technical support.
