GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Assuming a 20 MHz noise bandwidth (NBW), the Nyquist frequency
for a 40 MHz ADC, the input SNR is 92 dB. The HILO pin optimizes
the output SNR for 10 and 12 bit ADCs with 1 or 2 Vpp full-scale (FS)
inputs.
The AD8335 is a quad Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA) with low
noise preamplifier intended for cost and power sensitive
applications. AD8335 features four channels with 48 dB gain range;
fully differential signal paths; and active input preamplifier
matching. The AD8335 has an output gain switch of 8 dB and
separate gain controls for each channel.
Channels 1 and 2 are enabled through the EN12pin while channels 3
and 4 are enabled through the EN34pin. For VGA only applications,
the PrAs can be powered down, significantly reducing power
consumption.
The aggregate input referred voltage noise at maximum gain is 1.3
nV/√Hz; the preamplifier (PrA) has 1.2 nV/√Hz. The PrA has a
single-ended to differential gain of 8 (18.06 dB) and a maximum input
The AD8335 is available in a 64 pin chip scale (9x9 mm) package
signal capability is 625 mVPK-PK
.
for the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
