GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD604 is an ultralow noise, very accurate, dual-channel,
linear-in-dB variable gain amplifier (VGA) optimized for time-
based variable gain control in ultrasound applications; however,
it supports any application requiring low noise, wide bandwidth,
variable gain control. Each channel of the AD604 provides a
300 kΩ input resistance and unipolar gain control for ease of
use. User-determined gain ranges, gain scaling (dB/V), and dc
level shifting of output further optimize performance.
Each channel of the AD604 uses a high performance
preamplifier that provides an input-referred noise voltage of
0.8 nV/√Hz. The very accurate linear-in-dB response of the
AD604 is achieved with the differential input exponential
amplifier (DSX-AMP) architecture. Each DSX-AMP comprises
a variable attenuator of 0 dB to 48.36 dB followed by a high
speed fixed-gain amplifier. The attenuator is a 7-stage
R-1.5R ladder network. The attenuation between tap points is
6.908 dB and 48.36 dB for the ladder network.
The equation for the linear-in-dB gain response is
G (dB) =
(Gain Scaling (dB/V) × VGN (V)) + (Preamp Gain (dB) – 19 dB)

Preamplifier gains between 5 and 10 (14 dB and 20 dB) provide
overall gain ranges per channel of 0 dB through 48 dB and 6 dB
through 54 dB. The two channels of the AD604 can be cascaded
to provide greater levels of gain range by bypassing the preamplifier
of the second channel. However, in multiple channel systems,
cascading the AD604 with other devices in the AD60x VGA
family that do not include a preamplifier may provide a more
efficient solution. The AD604 provides access to the output of
the preamplifier, allowing for external filtering between the
preamplifier and the differential attenuator stage.
Note that scale factors up to 40 dB/V are achievable with reduced
accuracy for scales above 30 dB/V. The gain scales linearly in
decibels with control voltages of 0.4 V to 2.4 V with the 20 dB/V
scale. Below and above this gain control range, the gain begins
to deviate from the ideal linear-in-dB control law. The gain
control region below 0.1 V is not used for gain control. When
the gain control voltage is <50 mV, the amplifier channel is
powered down to 1.9 mA.
The AD604 is available in 24-lead SSOP, SOIC, and PDIP
packages and is guaranteed for operation over the −40°C to
+85°C temperature range.

... In applications that require more than gain range, two AD604 channels can be cascaded.

... AD604 AC COUPLING The DSX portion of the AD604 is a single-supply circuit and, therefore, its inputs need to be ac-coupled to accommodate ground-based signals.

RGN is normally 0, in which case the preamplifier is set to a gain of 5 (14 dB). When FBK1 is left open, the preamplifier is set to a gain of 10 (20 dB), and the gain range shifts dB. The ac coupling capacitors before − ...

... ULTRALOW NOISE AGC AMPLIFIER WITH GAIN RANGE Figure 44 shows an implementation of an AGC amplifier with gain range using a single AD604. The signal is applied to connector VIN and, because the signal source is 50 Ω, a terminating resistor (R1) of 49.9 Ω is added. The signal is then amplified (Pin FBK1 shorted to PAO1) through the Channel 1 preamplifier and is further processed by the Channel 1 DSX ...
