GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8335 is a quad variable gain amplifier (VGA) with low
noise preamplifier intended for cost and power sensitive applications. Each channel features a gain range of 48 dB, fully
differential signal paths, active input preamplifier matching,
and user-selectable maximum gains of 46 dB and 38 dB.
Individual gain controls are provided for each channel.
The preamplifier (PrA) has a single-ended to differential gain
of ×8 (18.06 dB) and accepts input signals ≤625 mV p-p. PrA
noise is 1.2 nV/√Hz and the combined input referred voltage
noise of the PrA and VGA is 1.3 nV/√Hz at maximum gain.

Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable. However, no
responsibility is assumed by Analog Devices for its use, nor for any infringements of patents or other
rights of third parties that may result from its use. Specifications subject to change without notice. No
license is granted by implication or otherwise under any patent or patent rights of Analog Devices.
Trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
Assuming a 20 MHz noise bandwidth (NBW), the Nyquist
frequency for a 40 MHz ADC, the input SNR is 92 dB. The
HLxx pin optimizes the output SNR for 10-bit and 12-bit
ADCs with 1 V p-p or 2 V p-p full-scale (FS) inputs.
Channel 1 and Channel 2 are enabled through the EN12 pin
and Channel 3 and Channel 4 are enabled through the EN34
pin. For VGA only applications, the PrAs can be powered down,
significantly reducing power consumption.
The AD8335 is available in a 64-lead lead frame chip scale
package (9 mm × 9 mm) for the industrial temperature range
of −40°C to +85°C.
