Signal measurement GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD600/AD6021 dual-channel, low noise, variable gain
amplifiers are optimized for use in ultrasound imaging systems
but are applicable to any application requiring precise gain, low
noise and distortion, and wide bandwidth. Each independent
channel provides a gain of 0 dB to +40 dB in the AD600 and
−10 dB to +30 dB in the AD602. The lower gain of the AD602
results in an improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the output.
However, both products have the same 1.4 nV/√Hz input noise
spectral density. The decibel gain is directly proportional to the
control voltage, accurately calibrated, and supply and temperature stable.
To achieve the difficult performance objectives, a proprietary
circuit form, the X-AMP®, was developed. Each channel of the
X-AMP comprises a variable attenuator of 0 dB to −42.14 dB
followed by a high speed fixed gain amplifier. In this way, the
amplifier never has to cope with large inputs and can benefit
from the use of negative feedback to precisely define the gain …
