WIDEBAND VARIABLE-GAIN AMPLIFIER

General Description

The CLC522 variable gain amplifier (VGA) is a dc-coupled, two-quadrant multiplier with

differential voltage inputs and a single-ended voltage output. Two input buffers and an

output operational amplifer are integrated with the multiplier core to make the CLC522 a

complete VGA system that does not require external buffering.

The CLC522 provides the flexibility of externally setting the maximum gain with only two

external resistors. Greater than 40dB gain control is easily achieved through a single

high impedance voltage input. The CLC522 provides a linear (in Volts per Volt)

relationship between the amplifier's gain and the gain-control input voltage.

The CLC522's maximum gain may be set anywhere over a nominal range of 2V/V to 100V/V. The

gain control input then provides attenuation from the maximum setting. For example, set

for a maximum gain of 100V/V, the CLC522 will provide a 100V/V to 1V/V gain control range

by sweeping the gain control input voltage from +1 to -0.98V.

Set a maximum gain of 10V/V, the CLC522 provides a 165MHz signal channel bandwidth and a

165MHz gain control bandwidth. Gain non-linearity over a 40dB gain range is 0.5% and gain

accuracy at Avmax = 10V/V is typically +0.3%.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur.

Operating Ratings are conditions for which the device is functional, but do not

guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test

conditions see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply

only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade

when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.

Note 2: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is

dictated by Tjmax (maximum junction temperature), ThetaJA (package junction to

ambient thermal resistance), and TA (ambient temperature). The maximum allowable

power dissipation at any temperature is Pdmax = (Tjmax - TA)/ThetaJA or the number

given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower.

Note 3: Human body model, 100pF discharged through 1.5K Ohms.
