AD604ARZ

AD604 is an ultralow noise, very accurate, dual-channel, linear-in-dB variable gain amplifier (VGA) optimized for time-based variable gain control in ultrasound applications. However, it supports any application requiring low noise, wide bandwidth, variable gain control. Each channel of the AD604 provides a 300Kohm input resistance and unipolar gain control for ease of use. User-determined gain ranges, gain scaling(dB/V) and DC level shifting of output further optimize performance. The very accurate linear-in-dB response of the AD604 is achieved with the differential input exponential amplifier (DSX-AMP) architecture. Typical application includes ultrasound and sonar time-gain controls, high performance AGC systems and signal measurement.
