Description

The VCA610 is a wideband, continuously variable, voltage-controlled gain amplifier. It provides linear-dB gain control with high impedance inputs. It is designed to be used as a flexible gain-control element in a variety of electronic systems.

The VCA610 has a gain-control range of 77dB (�38.5dB to +38.5dB) providing both gain and attenuation for maximum flexibility in a small SO-8. The broad attenuation range can be used for gradual or controlled channel turn-on and turn-off for applications in which abrupt gain changes can create artifacts or other errors. In addition, the output can be disabled to provide �77dB of attenuation. Group delay variation with gain is typically less than ±2ns across a bandwidth of 1MHz to 15MHz.

The VCA610 has a noise figure of 3.5dB (with an RS of 200) including the effects of both current and voltage noise. Instantaneous output dynamic range is 70dB for gains of 0dB to +38.5dB with 1MHz noise bandwidth. The output is capable of driving 100. The high-speed, 300dB/�s, gain-control signal is a unipolar (0V to �2V) voltage that varies the gain linearly in dB/V over a �38.5dB to +38.5dB range.

The VCA610 is designed with a very fast overload recovery time of only 200ns. This allows a large signal transient to overload the output at high gain, without obscuring low-level signals following closely behind. The excellent overload recovery time and distortion specifications optimize this device for low-level doppler measurements.
