GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8331/AD8332 are single- and dual-channel ultralow
noise, linear-in-dB, variable gain amplifiers. Although optimized
for ultrasound systems, they are usable as low noise variable
gain elements at frequencies up to 120 MHz.
Each channel consists of an ultralow noise preamplifier (LNA),
an X-AMP® VGA with 48 dB of gain range, and a selectable gain
postamplifier with adjustable output limiting. The LNA gain is
19 dB with a single-ended input and differential outputs capable
of accurate, programmable active input impedance matching by
selecting an external feedback resistor. Active impedance
control optimizes noise performance for applications that
benefit from input matching.
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. Differential
signal paths lead to superb second and third order distortion
performance and low crosstalk.

Figure 2. Frequency Response vs. Gain
The VGA’s low output-referred noise is advantageous in driving
high speed differential ADCs. The gain of the postamplifier may
be pin selected to 3.5 dB or 15.5 dB to optimize gain range and
output noise for 12-bit or 10-bit converter applications. The
output may be limited to a user-selected clamping level,
preventing input overload to a subsequent ADC. An external
resistor adjusts the clamping level.
The operating temperature range is –40°C to +85°. The
AD8331 is available in a 20-lead QSOP package, and the
AD8332 in 28-lead TSSOP and 32-lead LFCSP packages. They
require a single 5 V supply, and the quiescent power
consumption is 125 mW/ch. A power-down (enable) pin is
provided.
