| General-Purpose, Low Cost, DC-Coupled VGA AD8337 FEATURES Low noise Voltage noise = 2.2 nV/Hz Current noise = 4.8 pA/Hz (positive input) Wide bandwidth (-3 dB) = 280 MHz Nominal gain range 0 dB to 24 dB (preamp gain = 6 dB) Gain scaling 19.7 dB/V DC-coupled Single-ended input and output High speed uncommitted op amp input Supplies: +5 V, 2.5 V, or 5 V Low power: +78 mW with 2.5 V supplies FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM VPOS 8 AD8337 GAIN 7 GAIN CONTROL INTERFACE 18dB 1 VOUT PREAMP (PRA) INPP 3 INPN 4 VCOM 2 5 + - 8 SECTIONS 6 PRAO VNEG Figure 1. APPLICATIONS Gain trim PET scanners High performance AGC systems I/Q signal processing Video Industrial and medical ultrasound Radar receivers GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD8337 is a low noise, single-ended, linear-in-dB, generalpurpose variable gain amplifier 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 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 generated by photodiodes or photomultiplier tubes. The AD8337 uses the popular and versatile ADI exclusive X-AMP(R) architecture 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 currentfeedback 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 with a noninverting PrA gain of 2x using two external 100 resistors. The attenuator has a range of 24 dB, and the output amplifier has a fixed gain of 8x (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 AD8337s can be connected in series for larger gain ranges and to provide for interstage filtering to suppress noise and distortion and for nulling offset voltages. The operating temperature range of the AD8337 is -40C to +85C, and it is available in an 8-lead, 3 mm x 3 mm, chip scale package (LFCSP). Rev.

Block Diagram and Pinout OVERVIEW The AD8337 is a low-noise, single-ended, linear-in-dB, generalpurpose, variable gain amplifier (VGA) usable at frequencies up to 100 MHz. It is fabricated using a proprietary ADI dielectrically isolated complementary bipolar process. The bandwidth is dc to 280 MHz and features low dc offset voltage and an ideal nominal gain range of 0 dB to 24 dB. Requiring about 15.5 mA, the power consumption is only 78 mW from either a single +5 V or a dual 2.5 V supply. Figure 65 is the circuit block diagram of the AD8337. VGA This X-AMP, with its linear-in-dB gain characteristic architecture, yields the optimum dynamic range for receiver applications. Referring to Figure 65, the signal path consists of a -24 dB variable attenuator followed by a fixed gain amplifier of 18 dB, for a total VGA gain range of -6 dB to +18 dB. With the preamplifier configured for a gain of 6 dB, the composite gain range is 0 dB to 24 dB. The VGA plus preamp with 6 dB of gain implements the following exact gain law: dB Gain( dB ) = 19.7 xV + ICPT( dB ) GAIN V 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. As with any op amp, the gain is established using external resistors; the preamplifier is specified with a noninverting gain of 6 dB (2x) and both gain resistor values of 100 . The preamplifier gain can be increased using larger values of RFB2, trading off bandwidth and offset voltage. The value of RFB2 should be 100 , because it and an internal compensation capacitor determines the 3 dB bandwidth, and smaller values can compromise preamplifier stability. Because the AD8337 is dc-coupled, larger preamp gains increase the offset voltage. The offset voltage can be compensated by connecting a resistor between the INPN input and the supply voltage. If the offset is negative, the resistor value connects to the negative supply. For ease of adjustment, a trimmer network can be used. For larger gains, the overall noise is reduced if a low value of RFB1 is selected. For values of RFB1 = 20 and RFB2 = 301 , the preamp gain is 16x (24.1 dB), and the input referred noise is approximately 1.5nV/Hz. For this value of gain, the overall gain range increases by 18 dB, so the gain range is 18 dB to 42 dB. where the nominal intercept (ICPT) is 12.65 dB. The ICPT increases as the gain of the preamp is increased. For example, if the gain of the preamp is increased by 6 dB, then ICPT increases to 18.65 dB. Although the above equation shows the exact gain law as based on statistical data, a quick estimation of signal levels can be made using the default slope of 20 dB/V for a particular gain setting. For example, the change in gain for a VGAIN change of 0.3 V is 6 dB using a slope of 20 dB/V and 5.91 dB using the exact slope of 19.6 dB/V. This is a difference of only 0.09 dB. GAIN CONTROL The gain control interface provides a high impedance input and is referenced to pin VCOM (in a single-supply application to midsupply at [VPOS + VNEG]/2 for optimum swing). When dual supplies are used, VCOM is connected to ground. The voltage on Pin VCOM determines the midpoint of the gain range. For a ground referenced design, the VGAIN range is from -0.7 V to +0.7 V with the most linear-in-dB section of the gain control between -0.6 V and +0.6 V. In the center 80% of the VGAIN range, the gain error is typically less than 0.2 dB. The gain control voltage can be increased or decreased to the positive or negative rails without gain foldover. Rev. A | Page 18 of 28 05575-065 AD8337 The gain scaling factor (gain slope) is designed for 20 dB/V; this relatively low slope ensures that noise on the GAIN input is not unduly amplified. Since a VGA functions as a multiplier, it is important to make sure that the GAIN input does not inadvertently modulate the output signal with unwanted noise on the gain control pin. Because of its high input impedance, a simple low-pass filter can be added to the GAIN input to filter unwanted noise. SINGLE-SUPPLY OPERATION AND AC COUPLING If the AD8337 is to be 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. When ac coupling the preamplifier input, a bias network and bypass capacitor must be connected to the opposite polarity input pin. The bias generator for Pin VCOM must provide the dynamic current to the preamplifier feedback network and the VGA attenuator. For many single 5 V applications, a reference such as the ADR43 and a good op amp provide an adequate VCOM source if a 2.5 V supply is unavailable. OUTPUT STAGE The output stage is a Class AB, voltage-feedback, complementary, emitter-follower with a fixed gain of 18 dB, similar to the preamplifier in speed and bandwidth. Because of the ac-beta roll-off of the output devices and the inherent reduction in feedback beyond the -3 dB bandwidth, the impedance looking into the output pin of the preamp and output stages appears to be inductive (increasing impedance with increasing frequency). The high speed output amplifier used in the AD8337 can drive large currents, but its stability is susceptible to capacitive loading. A small series resistor mitigates the effects of capacitive loading (see the Applications section). ATTENUATOR The input resistance of the VGA attenuator is nominally 265 . Assuming the default preamplifier feedback network RFB1 + RFB2 is 200 , the effective preamplifier load is about 114 . The attenuator is composed of eight 3.01 dB sections for a total attenuation range of -24.08 dB. Following the attenuator is a fixed gain amplifier with 8x (18.06 dB) gain. Because of this relatively low gain, the output offset is kept well below 20 mV over temperature; the offset is largest at maximum gain when the preamplifier offset is amplified. The VCOM pin defines the common-mode reference for the output as seen in Figure 65. Rev. A | Page 19 of 28 AD8337 NOISE en - out = (RS x At )2 + (en - PrA x At )2 + (in - PrA x RS )2 + (en - Rfb1 x Rfb2 x AVGA )2 + (en - Rfb2 x AVGA )2 + (en - VGA x AVGA )2 Rfb1 en - out = 35 nV / Hz (1) The total input-referred voltage and current noise of the positive input of the preamplifier is about 2.2 nV/Hz and 4.8 pA/Hz. The VGA output referred noise is about 21 nV/Hz at low gains. This result is divided by the VGA fixed gain amplifier gain of 8x and results in a voltage noise density of 2.6 nV/Hz referred to the VGA input. This value includes the noise of the VGA gain setting resistors as well. If this voltage is again divided by the preamp gain of 2, then the VGA noise referred all the way to the preamp input is about 1.3 nV/Hz. From this, we can determine that the preamplifier, including the 100 gain setting resistors, contributes about 1.8 nV/Hz. The two 100 resistors contribute 1.29 nV/Hz each at the output of the preamp. With the gain resistor noise subtracted, the preamplifier noise is about 1.55 nV/Hz. Equation 1 shows the calculation that determines the output referred noise at maximum gain (24 dB or 16x): * * * * * * At = total gain from preamp input to VGA output; RS = source resistance; en - PrA = input-referred voltage noise of the preamp; in - PrA = current noise of the preamp at the INPP pin; en - Rfb1 = voltage noise of Rfb1; en-Rfb2 = voltage noise of Rfb2; en - VGA = input-referred voltage noise of VGA (low gain, output-referred noise divided by a fixed gain of 8x). Assuming RS = 0, RFB1 = RFB2 = 100 , At = 16, AVGA = 8, the noise simplifies to (1.75 x 16) 2 + 2(1.29 x 8)2 + (1.9 x 8)2 = (2) Dividing the result by 16 gives the total input-referred noise with a short-circuited input as 2.2 nV/Hz. When the preamplifier is used in the inverting configuration with the same RFB1 and RFB2 = 100 as above, then en - out does not change. However, because the gain dropped by 6 dB, the inputreferred noise increases by a factor of 2 to about 4.4 nV/Hz. The reason for this increase is that the noise gain to the output of all the noise generators stays the same, yet the preamp in the inverting configuration has a gain of (-1) compared to the (+2) in the noninverting configuration; this increases the input referred noise by 2.

Higher values of RFB2 reduce the bandwidth and increase the offset voltage, but smaller values compromise stability.

When configured with bipolar supplies, the preamplifier amplifies positive or negative input voltages with no level shifting of the commonmode input voltage required. Figure 67 shows the AD8337 configured for inverting gain operation. Because the AD8337 is a very high frequency device, stability issues can occur unless the circuit board on which it is used is carefully laid out. The stability of the preamp is affected by parasitic capacitance around the INPN pin. Position the Preamp Gain Resistor RFB1 and Resistor RFB2 as close as possible to Pin 4, INPN, to minimize stray capacitance.

The amplitude of the overshoot is also a function of the slewing of the transient (not shown). The transition time of the input pulses used for Figure 70 and Figure 72 was set deliberately high at 300 ps to demonstrate the fast response time of the amplifier. Signals with longer transition times generate less overshoot. Figure 67. The AD8337 Preamplifier Configured for Inverting Gain Rev.

Figure 69, Figure 71, and Figure 73 show the improvement in dynamic performance with a 20 snubbing resistor. RSNUB reduces the gain slightly by the ratio of RLOAD / (RSNUB + RLOAD), a very small loss when used with high impedance loads such as A/D converters. For other loads, alternate values of RSNUB can be determined empirically. All of the data for the curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics section of this data sheet were derived using a 20 snubbing resistor. The best way to avoid the effects of stray capacitance is to exercise care in PC board layout. Locate the passive components or devices connected to the AD8337 output pins, as close as possible to the package. Although a nonissue, the preamplifier output is also sensitive to load capacitance. However, the series connection of Resistor RFB1 and Resistor RFB2 is typically the only load connected to the preamplifier. If overshoot appears, it can be mitigated in the same way as the VGA output, by inserting a snubbing resistor. -800 -20 -80 80 Figure 71.

The high input impedance of the AD8337 enables several devices to be connected in parallel. This is useful for arrays of VGAs, such as those used for calibration adjustments. Under dc or slowly changing ramp conditions, the gain tracks the gain control voltage as shown in Figure 3. However, it is often necessary to consider other effects influenced by the VGAIN input. -200 -400 -600 -800 -20 -80 Figure 72.

Generated by multiple sources, each device has a unique VOS profile while the GAIN input is swept through its voltage range. The offset voltage profile seen in Figure 15 is a typical example. If the VGAIN input voltage is modulated, the output is the product of the VGAIN and the dc profile of the offset voltage, and it can be observed on a scope as a small ac signal as shown in Figure 74. In Figure 74, the signal applied to the VGAIN input is a 1 kHz ramp, and the output voltage signal is slightly less than 4 mV p-p. 10 8 6 VS = 2.5V INPUT VS = 2.5 OUTPUT Under certain circumstances, the product of VGAIN and the offset profile plus spikes is a coherent spurious signal within the signal band of interest and indistinguishable from desired signals. In general, the slower the ramp applied to the GAIN pin, the smaller the spikes are. In most applications, these effects are benign and not an issue. THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS The thermal performance of chip scale packages, such as the AD8337, departs significantly from that of leaded devices such as the larger TSSOP or QFSP. In larger packages, heat is conducted away from the die by the path provided by the bond wires and the device leads. In chip scale packages, the heat transfer mechanisms are surface-to-air radiation from the top and side surfaces of the package and conduction through the metal solder pad on the mounting surface of the device. JC is the traditional thermal metric found in the data sheets of integrated circuits. Heat transfer away from the die is a threedimensional dynamic, and the path is through the bond wires, leads, and the six surfaces of the package. Because of the small size of chip scale packages, the JC is not measured conventionally. Instead, it is calculated using thermodynamic rules. The AD8837's JC value listed in Table 2 assumes that the tab is soldered to the board and that there are three additional ground layers beneath the device connected by at least four vias. For a device with an unsoldered pad, the JC nearly doubles, becoming 138C/W. OFFSET VOLATGE (mV) 4 2 0 -2 -4 -6 -8 05575-075 -10 -800 -600 -400 -200 0 200 VGAIN (mV) 400 600 800 Figure 74. Offset Voltage vs. VGAIN for a 1 kHz Ramp The profile of the waveform shown in Figure 74 is consistent over a wide range of signals from dc to about 20 kHz. Above 20 kHz, secondary artifacts can be generated due to the effects of minor internal circuit tolerances as seen in Figure 75. These artifacts are caused by settling and time constants of the interpolator circuit and appear at the output as the voltage spikes seen in Figure 75. 10 8 6 VS = 2.5V INPUT VOUTPUT S = 2.5 PSI () Table 2 lists a subset of the classic theta specification, JT (Psi junction to top). JC is the metric of heat transfer from the die to the case, involving the six outside surfaces of the package. (XY) is a subset of the theta value and the thermal gradient from the junction (die) to each of the six surfaces. can be different for each of the surfaces, but since the top of the package is actually a fraction of a millimeter from the die, the surface temperature of the package is very close to the die temperature. The die temperature is calculated as the product of the power dissipation and JT. Since the top surface temperature and power dissipation are easily measured, it follows that the die temperature is easily calculated. For example, for a dissipation of 180 mW and a JT of 5.3/W, the die temperature is slightly less than 1C higher than the surface temperature.
