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%.

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. 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.
