Specified.
differential input, voltage controlled gain stage
followed by a high-speed current feedback Op Amp
which can directly drive a low impedance load. Gain
adjustment range is more than 70dB for up to 10MHz.

Gain Control BW 100MHz
Maximum gain is set by external components and the
gain can be reduced all the way to cut-off. Power
consumption is 370mW with a speed of 135MHz .
Output referred DC offset voltage is less than 350mV
over the entire gain control voltage range. Device-to-
device Gain matching is within 0.7dB at maximum
gain. Furthermore, gain at any VG is tested and the
tolerance is ensured. The output current feedback Op
Amp allows high frequency large signals (Slew Rate
= 1800V/μs) and can also drive heavy load current
(75mA). Differential inputs allow common mode
rejection in low level amplification or in applications
where signals are carried over relatively long wires.
For single ended operation, the unused input can
easily be tied to ground (or to a virtual half-supply in
single supply application). Inverting or non-inverting
gains could be obtained by choosing one input
polarity or the other.

Variable Attenuator
AGC
To further increase versatility when used in a single
supply application, gain control range is set to be
from −1V to +1V relative to pin 11 potential (ground
pin). In single supply operation, this ground pin is tied
to a "virtual" half supply. Gain control pin has high
input impedance to simplify its drive requirement.
Gain control is linear in V/V throughout the gain
adjustment range. Maximum gain can be set to be
anywhere between 1V/V to 100V/V or higher. For
linear in dB gain control applications, see LMH6502
datasheet.
