GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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.

Differential signal paths result in superb second- and thirdorder distortion performance and low crosstalk.
The low output-referred noise of the VGA is advantageous in
driving high speed differential ADCs. The gain of the postamp
can 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 can 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°C. The
AD8331 is available in a 20-lead QSOP package, the AD8332 is
available in 28-lead TSSOP and 32-lead LFCSP packages, and
the AD8334 is available in a 64-lead LFCSP package.
