Precise gain control, high IP3, low noise–for a wide variety of receiver applications
Why use two individual VGAs when the Analog Devices AD8376 digital VGA gives you dual channels in 67% less space? Analog Devices' industry-leading solution offers 50 dBm output IP3 on just 130 mA of current per channel, providing unparalleled linearity and minimizing distortion. You can maximize signal level prior to the ADC across a broad choice of IFs up to 400 MHz, while reducing your footprint with the AD8376's compact, 5 mm × 5 mm 32-lead LFCSP package. For applications requiring additional gain control range, such as upstream CMTS receivers, ADI's AD8372 VGA offers 41 dB of range in 1 dB steps. more ...
