AD8338ACPZ-R7

AD8338 is a variable gain amplifier (VGA) for applications that require a fully differential signal path, low power, low noise, and a well-defined gain over frequency. Although the input is differential, the device can also be driven with a single-ended source if required. The basic gain function is linear-in-dB and is controlled by the voltage applied to pin GAIN. The nominal gain range can be shifted up or down via direct access to pin INPD and pin INMD, the current inputs of the VGA. This includes additional circuit blocks to enable input offset correction and automatic gain control (AGC). DC offset voltages are removed by the offset correction circuit, which behaves like a high-pass filter whose corner is set with an external capacitor. The AGC function varies the gain of to maintain a constant RMS output voltage. Application includes front end for inductive telemetry systems, ultrasonic signal receivers, signal compression for driving an ADC, AGC amplifiers.
