Product Introduction

The AD8331/AD8332/AD8334 are single-channel/dual-channel/quad-channel, ultralow noise, linear-in-dB variable gain amplifiers (VGAs) optimized for ultrasound systems, usable as low-noise variable gain elements operating at frequencies up to 120 MHz.

Each channel integrates an ultralow noise preamplifier (LNA), an X-AMP VGA with 48 dB gain range, and an optional gain postamplifier with adjustable output limiting. The LNA provides 19 dB gain with single-ended input and differential output. LNA input impedance can be adjusted using a resistor to match the signal source without degrading noise performance.

The 48 dB VGA gain range makes these devices suitable for a wide variety of applications. Bandwidth consistency is maintained excellently across the entire gain range. For control voltages in the 40 mV to 1 V range, the gain control interface provides precise linear-in-dB adjustment of 50 dB/V. Factory trimming ensures excellent gain matching between devices and channels.

The differential signal path delivers superior second- and third-order distortion performance and low crosstalk.

The low output-referred noise of the VGA is advantageous when driving high-speed differential ADCs. Postamplifier gain is pin-selectable at 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 clamp level to prevent overloading the input of a downstream ADC. An external resistor sets the clamp level.

Operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C. The AD8331 is available in a 20-lead QSOP package, the AD8332 in 28-lead TSSOP and 32-lead LFCSP packages, and the AD8334 in a 64-lead LFCSP package.
