AD8330
The gain can be increased or decreased by changing the voltage,
V
of 500 mV is derived from the same band gap reference that
determines the decibel scaling. The tolerance on this voltage,
and mismatches in certain on-chip resistors, cause small gain
errors (see the Specifications section). Though not all appli-
cations of VGAs demand accurate gain calibration, it is a
valuable asset in many situations, for example, in reducing
design tolerances.
Figure 47 shows the core circuit in more detail. The range and
scaling of V
gain control pin, VDBS, presents a high incremental input re-
sistance (~100 MΩ) with a low bias current (~100 nA), making
the AD8330 easy to drive from a variety of gain control sources.
Inversion of the Gain Slope
The AD8330 supports many features that further extend the
versatility of this VGA in wide bandwidth gain control systems.
For example, the logic pin, MODE, allows the slope of the gain
function to be inverted, so that the basic gain starts at +50 dB
for a gain voltage, V
this voltage is at its maximum specified value of 1.5 V. The basic
forms of these two gain control modes are shown in Figure 48.
Gain Magnitude Control (V
In addition to the basic linear-in-dB control, two more gain
control features are provided. The voltage applied to Pin VMAG
provides accurate linear-in-magnitude gain control with a very
rapid response. The bandwidth of this interface is >100 MHz.
When this pin is unconnected, V
500 mV (see Figure 47) to set up the basic 0 dB to 50 dB range.
However, any voltage from ~15 mV to 5 V can be applied either
to lower the gain by up to 30 dB or to raise it by 20 dB. The
combined gain span is thus 100 dB, that is, the 50 dB basic gain
span provided by V

Using this to calculate the output voltage,
from which it is apparent that the AD8330 implements a linear,
two-quadrant multiplier with a bipolar V
Because the AD8330 is a dc-coupled system, it can be used in
many applications where a wideband two-quadrant multiplier
function is required, from dc up to about 100 MHz from either
