GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD8370 is a low cost, digitally controlled, variable gain amplifier that provides both high IP3 and low noise figure. The excellent distortion performance and wide bandwidth makes the AD8370 a suitable gain control device for modern receiver designs.

For wide input dynamic range applications the AD8370 provides two input ranges; high-gain and low-gain mode. A vernier 7-bit attenuator provides 28dB of attenuation range with better than 2 dB resolution, and up to 22dB of range with better than 1dB resolution. The input gain selection allows for an additional 17dB of range FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM

and provides for excellent output distortion levels with relatively high input levels.

The AD8370 may be powered on or off by applying the appropriate logic level to the PWUP pin. When powered down the AD8370 consumes less than 5mA and offers excellent input to output isolation.

REV. PrC 3/12/03

Fabricated in ADI’s high speed XFCB process, the high bandwidth of the AD8370 provides high frequency and low distortion. The quiescent current of the AD8370 is 78mA typically. The AD8370 amplifier comes in a compact 16 pin TSSOP package and will operate over the temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Basic Connections Figure 1 shows the minimum connections required for basic operation of the AD8370. Supply voltages between 2.7 and 5.5V are allowed. The supply to the VCCO and VCCI pins should be decoupled with at least one low inductance surface-mount ceramic capacitor of 0.1 µF placed as close as possible to the device. More effective decoupling is provided by placing a 100pF capacitor in parallel and including a ferrite bead in series with the supply.

gain adjustment. The linear voltage gain can be expressed with respect to the gain code as:

A = GainCode Vernier⋅ ⋅(1 (+ PreGain −1)⋅MSB)

where

Av is the linear voltage gain.

The AD8370 is designed to be a fine gain adjustment variable gain amplifier. The gain control transfer function is linear in voltage gain. On a decibel scale, this results in the exponential transfer functions indicated in TPC 3. At the low end of the gain transfer function, the slope is steep, providing a rather coarse control function. At the higher end of the gain control range the dB step size is decreased allowing for precise

The AD8370 is designed to be used in differential signal chains. Differential signaling allows for improved evenorder harmonic cancellation and better common-mode immunity than can be achieved using a single-ended design. In order to fully exploit these benefits, it is necessary to drive
