DESCRIPTION

The VCA810 is a DC-coupled, wideband, continuously variable, voltage-controlled gain amplifier. It provides a differential input to single-ended output conversion with a high-impedance gain control input used to vary the gain over a –40dB to +40dB range linear in dB/V. Operating from ±5V supplies, the gain control voltage for the VCA810 will adjust the gain from –40dB at 0V input to +40dB at –2V input. Increasing the control voltage above ground will attenuate the signal path to > 80dB. Signal bandwidth and slew rate remain constant over the entire gain adjust range. This 40dB/V gain control is accurate within ±1.5dB (±0.9dB for High Grade), allowing the gain control voltage in an AGC application to be used as a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) with ±1.5dB accuracy. Excellent common-mode rejection and common-mode input range at the two high-impedance inputs allow the VCA810 to provide a differential receiver operation with gain adjust. The output signal is referenced to ground. Zero differential input voltage gives a 0V output with a small DC offset error. Low input noise voltage ensures good output SNR at the highest gain settings. In applications where pulse edge information is critical, and the VCA810 is being used to equalize varying channel loss, minimal change in group delay over gain setting will retain excellent pulse edge information. An improved output stage provides adequate output current to drive the most demanding loads. While principally intended to drive analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) or 2nd-stage amplifiers, the ±60mA output current will easily drive doubly-terminated 50Ω lines or a passive post filter stage over the ±1.7V output voltage range.

Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods may degrade device reliability. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those specified is not implied. ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments rec- ommends that all integrated circuits be handled with appropriate pre- cautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation proce- dures can cause damage. ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
