TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
800MHz, 31dB Range
Analog-Controlled VGA
The LTC
®
6412 is a fully differential variable gain amplifi er
with linear-in-dB analog gain control. It is designed for
AC-coupled operation in IF receiver chains from 1MHz
to 500MHz. The part has a constant OIP3 across a wide
output amplitude range and across the 31dB gain control
range. The output noise (NF + Gain) is also fl at versus gain
to provide a uniform spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR)
>120dB over the full gain control range at 240MHz.
The LTC6412 is ideal for interfacing with the LT
®
5527 and
LT5557 downconverting mixers, LTC6410-6 IF amplifi er
and the LTC6400/LTC6401/LTC6416 ADC drivers for use
in 12-, 14-, and 16-bit ADC applications.
The LTC6412 recovers quickly from an overdrive condition,
and the EN pin allows for a fast output signal disable to
protect sensitive downstream components. Asserting the
SHDN pin reduces the current consumption below 1mA
for power-down or sleep modes.
