Low Noise, 90 MHz Variable Gain Amplifier Data Sheet AD603 FEATURES The decibel gain is linear in dB, accurately calibrated, and stable over temperature and supply. The gain is controlled at a high Linear-in-dB gain control impedance (50 MΩ), low bias (200 nA) differential input; the Pin-programmable gain ranges scaling is 25 mV/dB, requiring a gain control voltage of only −11 dB to +31 dB with 90 MHz bandwidth 1 V to span the central 40 dB of the gain range. An overrange 9 dB to 51 dB with 9 MHz bandwidth and underrange of 1 dB is provided whatever the selected range. Any intermediate range, for example −1 dB to +41 dB The gain control response time is less than 1 μs for a 40 dB change. with 30 MHz bandwidth Bandwidth independent of variable gain The differential gain control interface allows the use of either 1.3 nV/√Hz input noise spectral density differential or single-ended positive or negative control voltages. ±0.5 dB typical gain accuracy Several of these amplifiers may be cascaded and their gain control gains offset to optimize the system SNR. APPLICATIONS The AD603 can drive a load impedance as low as 100 Ω with low distortion. For a 500 Ω load in shunt with 5 pF, the total RF/IF AGC amplifiers harmonic distortion for a ±1 V sinusoidal output at 10 MHz is Video gain controls typically −60 dBc. The peak specified output is ±2.5 V minimum A/D range extensions into a 500 Ω load. Signal measurements The AD603 uses a patented proprietary circuit topology—the X-AMP®. The X-AMP comprises a variable attenuator of 0 dB GENERAL DESCRIPTION to −42.14 dB followed by a fixed-gain amplifier. Because of the The AD603 is a low noise, voltage-controlled amplifier for use attenuator, the amplifier never has to cope with large inputs and in RF and IF AGC systems. It provides accurate, pin-selectable can use negative feedback to define its (fixed) gain and dynamic gains of −11 dB to +31 dB with a bandwidth of 90 MHz or +9 dB to performance. The attenuator has an input resistance of 100 Ω, 51+ dB with a bandwidth of 9 MHz. Any intermediate gain laser trimmed to ±3%, and comprises a 7-stage R-2R ladder range may be arranged using one external resistor. The input network, resulting in an attenuation between tap points of referred noise spectral density is only 1.3 nV/√Hz, and power 6.021 dB. A proprietary interpolation technique provides a consumption is 125 mW at the recommended ±5 V supplies. continuous gain control function that is linear in dB. The AD603 is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C.

AD603 Data Sheet THEORY OF OPERATION The AD603 comprises a fixed-gain amplifier, preceded by a The gain is at all times very exactly determined, and a linear-in- broadband passive attenuator of 0 dB to 42.14 dB, having a gain dB relationship is automatically guaranteed by the exponential control scaling factor of 40 dB per volt. The fixed gain is laser- nature of the attenuation in the ladder network (the X-AMP trimmed in two ranges, to either 31.07 dB (×35.8) or 50 dB principle). In practice, the gain deviates slightly from the ideal (×358), or it may be set to any range in between using one law, by about ±0.2 dB peak (see, for example, Figure 5). external resistor between Pin 5 and Pin 7. Somewhat higher NOISE PERFORMANCE gain can be obtained by connecting the resistor from Pin 5 to An important advantage of the X-AMP is its superior noise common, but the increase in output offset voltage limits the performance. The nominal resistance seen at inner tap points is maximum gain to about 60 dB. For any given range, the 41.7 Ω (one third of 125 Ω), which exhibits a Johnson noise bandwidth is independent of the voltage-controlled gain. This spectral density (NSD) of 0.83 nV/√Hz (that is, √4kTR) at 27°C, system provides an underrange and overrange of 1.07 dB in all which is a large fraction of the total input noise. The first stage cases; for example, the overall gain is −11.07 dB to +31.07 dB in of the amplifier contributes a further 1 nV/√Hz, for a total input the maximum bandwidth mode (Pin 5 and Pin 7 strapped). noise of 1.3 nV/√Hz. It is apparent that it is essential to use a This X-AMP structure has many advantages over former low resistance in the ladder network to achieve the very low methods of gain control based on nonlinear elements. Most specified noise level. The source impedance of the signal importantly, the fixed-gain amplifier can use negative feedback forms a voltage divider with the 100 Ω input resistance of the to increase its accuracy. Because large inputs are first attenuated, AD603. In some applications, the resulting attenuation may the amplifier input is always small. For example, to deliver a be unacceptable, requiring the use of an external buffer or ±1 V output in the −1 dB/+41 dB mode (that is, using a fixed preamplifier to match a high impedance source to the low amplifier gain of 41.07 dB), its input is only 8.84 mV; therefore, impedance AD603. the distortion can be very low. Equally important, the small- The noise at maximum gain (that is, at the 0 dB tap) depends on signal gain and phase response, and thus the pulse response, are whether the input is short-circuited or open-circuited. When essentially independent of gain. short-circuited, the minimum NSD of slightly over 1 nV/√Hz is Figure 31 is a simplified schematic. The input attenuator is a achieved. When open-circuited, the resistance of 100 Ω looking 7-section R-2R ladder network, using untrimmed resistors of into the first tap generates 1.29 nV/√Hz, so the noise increases nominally R = 62.5 Ω, which results in a characteristic resistance of to 1.63 nV/√Hz. (This last calculation would be important if the 125 Ω ± 20%. A shunt resistor is included at the input and laser AD603 were preceded by, for example, a 900 Ω resistor to allow trimmed to establish a more exact input resistance of 100 Ω ± 3%, operation from inputs up to 10 V rms.) As the selected tap which ensures accurate operation (gain and HP corner frequency) moves away from the input, the dependence of the noise on when used in conjunction with external resistors or capacitors. source impedance quickly diminishes. The nominal maximum signal at input VINP is 1 V rms Apart from the small variations just discussed, the signal-to- (±1.4 V peak) when using the recommended ±5 V supplies, noise (SNR) at the output is essentially independent of the although operation to ±2 V peak is permissible with some attenuator setting.

A unique circuit technique is employed to interpolate between these tap points, indicated by the slider in Figure 31, thus providing continuous attenuation from 0 dB to 42.14 dB. It helps in understanding the AD603 to think in terms of a mechanical means for moving this slider from left to right; in fact, its position is controlled by the voltage between Pin 1 and Pin 2. The details of the gain control interface are in the The Gain Control Interface section. Rev. K | Page 12 of 24

It is a simple matter to include a voltage divider to achieve other scaling factors. When using an 8-bit DAC having an FS output When the differential input voltage V = 0 V, the attenuator G of 2.55 V (10 mV/bit), a divider ratio of 2 (generating 5 mV/bit) slider is centered, providing an attenuation of 21.07 dB.

For a 30 dBm input at 10.7 MHz, the second harmonic voltage that is PTAT and that can be chosen to have an equal is 34 dB down from the fundamental, and the third harmonic is but opposite TC to that of the V . This is actually nothing more BE 35 dB down from the fundamental. than an application of the band gap voltage reference principle. When R8 is chosen such that the sum of the voltage across it CAUTION and the V of Q1 is close to the band gap voltage of about 1.2 V, BE Careful component selection, circuit layout, power supply V is stable over a wide range of temperatures, provided, of OUT decoupling, and shielding are needed to minimize the susceptibility course, that Q1 and Q2 share the same thermal environment. of the AD603 to interference from signals such as those from Because the average emitter current is 600 µA during each half radio and TV stations. In bench evaluation, it is recommended cycle of the square wave, a resistor of 833 Ω adds a PTAT to place all of the components into a shielded box and use voltage of 500 mV at 300 K, increasing by 1.66 mV/°C. In feedthrough decoupling networks for the supply voltage. Circuit practice, the optimum value depends on the type of transistor layout and construction are also critical because stray capacitances used and, to a lesser extent, on the waveform for which the and lead inductances can form resonant circuits and are a temperature stability is to be optimized; for the inexpensive potential source of circuit peaking, oscillation, or both. 2N3904/2N3906 pair and sine wave signals, the recommended value is 806 Ω.

Built-in flexibility allows convenient configuration to GNEG and GPOS test loops. The two slide switches SGPOS and accommodate most operating configurations. Figure 50 is a SGNEG provide three connections for GPOS and the GNEG. photograph of the AD603 evaluation board. Either pin can be ground referenced, or biased with a user selected voltage established by R1 and R5 to R7. A signal generator can be connected to the GPOS or GNEG test loops, or the GNEG can be driven to either polarity within the common-mode limits of −1.2 V to +2.0 V; to invert the gain slope, simply reverse the polarity of the voltage source connected to GPOS and GNEG. For bias current measurements, the third switch option disconnects the bias voltage source and permits connection of a microammeter between the GPOS and GNEG pins to ground. The AD603 includes built-in gain resistors selectable at the FDBK pin. The board is shipped with the gain at minimum, with a 0 Ω resistor installed in R3. For maximum gain, simply remove R3.
