LMH6505 Wideband, Low Power, Linear-in-dB, Variable Gain Amplifier
January 2006
General Description
The LMH6505 is a wideband DC coupled voltage controlled
gain stage followed by a high-speed current feedback op
amp which can directly drive a low impedance load. The gain
adjustment range is 80 dB for up to 10 MHz which is accomplished by varying the gain control input voltage, V
Maximum gain is set by external components, and the gain
can be reduced all the way to cut-off. Power consumption is
110 mW with a speed of 150 MHz and a gain control bandwidth (BW) of 100 MHz. Output referred DC offset voltage is
less than 55 mV over the entire gain control voltage range.
Device-to-device gain matching is within
mum gain. Furthermore, gain is tested and guaranteed over
a wide range. The output current feedback op amp allows
high frequency large signals (Slew Rate = 1500 V/µs) and
can also drive a heavy load current (60 mA) guaranteed.
Near ideal input characteristics (i.e. low input bias current,
low offset, low pin 3 resistance) enable the device to be
easily configured as an inverting amplifier as well.
To provide ease of use when working with a single supply,

order to ease drive requirement. In single supply operation,
the ground pin is tied to a "virtual" half supply.
The LMH6505’s gain control is linear in dB for a large portion
of the total gain control range from 0 dB down to −85 dB
25˚C, as shown below. This makes the device suitable for
AGC applications. For linear gain control applications, see
the LMH6503 datasheet.
The LMH6505 is available in either the SOIC-8 or the
MSOP-8 package. The combination of minimal external
components and small outline packages allows the
LMH6505 to be used in space-constrained applications.
