GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8337 is a low noise, single-ended, linear-in-dB, general-
purpose variable gain amplifier (VGA) usable at frequencies
from dc to 100 MHz; the −3 dB bandwidth is 280 MHz.
Excellent bandwidth uniformity across the entire gain range
and low output-referred noise makes the AD8337 ideal for
gain trim applications and for driving high speed analog-to-
digital converters (ADCs).
Excellent dc characteristics combined with high speed make the
AD8337 particularly suited for industrial ultrasound, PET
scanners, and video applications. Dual-supply operation enables
gain control of negative-going pulses, such as those generated
by photodiodes or photomultiplier tubes.
The AD8337 uses the popular and versatile X-AMP® architecture,
exclusively from Analog Devices, Inc., with a gain range of 24 dB.
The gain control interface provides precise linear-in-dB scaling
of 19.7 dB/V, referenced to VCOM.

The AD8337 includes an uncommitted operational current-
feedback preamplifier (PrA) that operates in inverting or
noninverting configurations. Using external resistors, the device
can be configured for gains of 6 dB or greater. The AD8337 is
characterized by a noninverting PrA gain of 2× using two external
100 Ω resistors. The attenuator has a range of 24 dB, and the
output amplifier has a fixed gain of 8× (18.06 dB). The lowest
nominal gain range is 0 dB to 24 dB and can be shifted up or down
by adjusting the preamp gain. Multiple AD8337 devices can be
connected in series for larger gain ranges, interstage filtering to
suppress noise and distortion, and nulling offset voltages.
The operating temperature range of the AD8337 is −40°C to
+85°C, and is available in an 8-lead, 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP.

... AD8337. PREAMPLIFIER An uncommitted current-feedback op amp included in the AD8337 can be used as a preamplifier to buffer the ladder network attenuator of the X-AMP.

... The VCOM pin defines the common-mode reference for the output, as shown in Figure 65. SINGLE-SUPPLY OPERATION AND AC COUPLING If the AD8337 operated from a single 5 V supply, the bias supply for VCOM must be a very low impedance 2.5 V reference, especially if dc coupling is used. If the device is dc- coupled, the VCOM source must be able to handle the preamplifier and VGA dynamic load currents in addition to the bias currents ...

... FB2 Figure 67. The AD8337 Preamplifier Configured for Inverting Gain DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS Because of the large bandwidth of the AD8337, stray capacitance at the output pin can induce peaking in the frequency response as the gain of the amplifier begins to roll off. Figure 68 shows peaking with two values of load capacitance using ±2.5 V supplies and ...

Page 21

... The best way to avoid the effects of stray capacitance is to –80 exercise care in the PCB layout. Locate the passive components devices connected to the AD8337 output pins as close as possible to the package. Although a nonissue, the preamplifier output is also sensitive to 80 load capacitance. However, the series connection typically the only load connected to the preamplifier ...

The offset voltage profile seen in Figure typical example ...
