High performance automatic gain control (AGC) systems
I/Q signal processing
High speed, dual ADC drivers The AD8331/AD8332/AD8334 are single-, dual-, and quadchannel, ultralow noise linear-in-dB, variable gain amplifiers
(VGAs). Optimized for ultrasound systems, they are usable as a
low noise variable gain element at frequencies up to 120 MHz.
Included in each channel are an ultralow noise preamp (LNA),
an X-AMP® VGA with 48 dB of gain range, and a selectable gain
postamp with adjustable output limiting. The LNA gain is 19 dB
with a single-ended input and differential outputs. Using a single
resistor, the LNA input impedance can be adjusted to match a
signal source without compromising noise performance.
The 48 dB gain range of the VGA makes these devices suitable
for a variety of applications. Excellent bandwidth uniformity is
maintained across the entire range. The gain control interface
provides precise linear-in-dB scaling of 50 dB/V for control
voltages between 40 mV and 1 V. Factory trim ensures excellent
part-to-part and channel-to-channel gain matching. Rev. I HILO
