Ultralow Noise VGAs with Preamplifier and Programmable RIN AD8331/AD8332/AD8334
Data Sheet FEATURES
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
Ultrasound and sonar time-gain controls High performance automatic gain control (AGC) systems I/Q signal processing High speed, dual ADC drivers
The AD8331/AD8332/AD8334 are single-, dual-, and quadchannel, ultralow noise linear-in-dB, variable gain amplifiers (VGAs). Optimized for ultrasound systems, they are usable as a low noise variable gain element at frequencies up to 120 MHz. Included in each channel are an ultralow noise preamp (LNA), an X-AMP® VGA with 48 dB of gain range, and a selectable gain postamp with adjustable output limiting. The LNA gain is 19 dB with a single-ended input and differential outputs. Using a single resistor, the LNA input impedance can be adjusted to match a signal source without compromising noise performance. The 48 dB gain range of the VGA makes these devices suitable for a variety of applications. Excellent bandwidth uniformity is maintained across the entire range. The gain control interface provides precise linear-in-dB scaling of 50 dB/V for control voltages between 40 mV and 1 V. Factory trim ensures excellent part-to-part and channel-to-channel gain matching.

Figure 2. Frequency Response vs. Gain
Differential signal paths result in superb second- and thirdorder distortion performance and low crosstalk. The low output-referred noise of the VGA is advantageous in driving high speed differential ADCs. The gain of the postamp can be pin selected to 3.5 dB or 15.5 dB to optimize gain range and output noise for 12-bit or 10-bit converter applications. The output can be limited to a user-selected clamping level, preventing input overload to a subsequent ADC. An external resistor adjusts the clamping level. The operating temperature range is −40°C to +85°C. The AD8331 is available in a 20-lead QSOP package, the AD8332 is available in 28-lead TSSOP and 32-lead LFCSP packages, and the AD8334 is available in a 64-lead LFCSP package.

TEST CIRCUITS dividing the output noise by the numerical gain between Point A and Point B and accounting for the noise floor of the spectrum analyzer. The gain should be measured at each frequency of interest and with low signal levels because a 50 Ω load is driven directly. The generator is removed when noise measurements are made.
MEASUREMENT CONSIDERATIONS Figure 55 through Figure 68 show typical measurement configurations and proper interface values for measurements with 50 Ω conditions. Short-circuit input noise measurements are made as shown in Figure 62. The input-referred noise level is determined by

The linear-in-dB, gain control interface is trimmed for slope and absolute accuracy. The gain range is +48 dB, extending from −4.5 dB to +43.5 dB in LO gain and +7.5 dB to +55.5 dB in HI gain mode. The slope of the gain control interface is 50 dB/V, and the gain control range is 40 mV to 1 V. Equation 1 and Equation 2 are the expressions for gain. GAIN (dB) = 50 (dB/V) × VGAIN − 6.5 dB, (HILO = LO)

LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER (LNA) Good noise performance in the AD8331/AD8332/AD8334 relies on a proprietary ultralow noise preamplifier at the beginning of the signal chain, which minimizes the noise contribution in the following VGA. Active impedance control optimizes noise performance for applications that benefit from input matching. A simplified schematic of the LNA is shown in Figure 74. INH is capacitively coupled to the source. A bias generator establishes dc input bias voltages of 3.25 V and centers the output commonmode levels at 2.5 V. A capacitor CLMD (can be the same value as the input coupling capacitor CINH) is connected from the LMD pin to ground to decouple the LMD bus. The LMD pin is not useable for configuring the LNA as a differential input amplifier. CIZ

The LNA converts a single-ended input to a differential output with a voltage gain of 19 dB. If only one output is used, the gain is 13 dB. The inverting output is used for active input impedance termination. Each of the LNA outputs is capacitively coupled to a VGA input. The VGA consists of an attenuator with a range of 48 dB followed by an amplifier with 21 dB of gain for a net gain range of −27 dB to +21 dB. The X-AMP, gain interpolation technique results in low gain error and uniform bandwidth, and differential signal paths minimize distortion. The final stage is a logic programmable amplifier with gains of 3.5 dB or 15.5 dB. The LO and HI gain modes are optimized for 12-bit and 10-bit ADC applications, in terms of output-referred noise and absolute gain range. Output voltage limiting can be programmed by the user.
The LNA supports differential output voltages as high as 5 V p-p, with positive and negative excursions of ±1.25 V, about a common-mode voltage of 2.5 V. Because the differential gain magnitude is 9, the maximum input signal before saturation is ±275 mV or +550 mV p-p. Overload protection ensures quick recovery time from large input voltages. Because the inputs are capacitively coupled to a bias voltage near midsupply, very large inputs can be handled without interacting with the ESD protection. Low value feedback resistors and the current-driving capability of the output stage allow the LNA to achieve a low input-referred voltage noise of 0.74 nV/√Hz. This is achieved with a current consumption of only 11 mA per channel (55 mW). On-chip resistor matching results in precise single-ended gains of 4.5× (9× differential), critical for accurate impedance control. The use of a fully differential topology and negative feedback minimizes distortion. Low HD2 is particularly important in second harmonic ultrasound imaging applications. Differential signaling enables smaller swings at each output, further reducing third-order distortion.

Active Impedance Matching
UNTERMINATED
The LNA supports active impedance matching through an external shunt feedback resistor from Pin LON to Pin INH. The input resistance, RIN, is given in Equation 5, where A is the singleended gain of 4.5, and 6 kΩ is the unterminated input impedance.

RIN RS
CIZ is needed in series with RIZ because the dc levels at Pin LON and Pin INH are unequal. Expressions for choosing RIZ in terms of RIN and for choosing CIZ are found in the Applications Information section. CSH and the ferrite bead enhance stability at higher frequencies, where the loop gain is diminished, and prevent peaking. Frequency response plots of the LNA are shown in Figure 23 and Figure 24. The bandwidth is approximately 130 MHz for matched input impedances of 50 Ω to 200 Ω and declines at higher source impedances. The unterminated bandwidth (when RIZ = ∞) is approximately 80 MHz.

Each output can drive external loads as low as 100 Ω in addition to the 100 Ω input impedance of the VGA (200 Ω differential). Capacitive loading up to 10 pF is permissible. All loads should be ac-coupled. Typically, Pin LOP output is used as a single-ended driver for auxiliary circuits, such as those used for Doppler ultrasound imaging. Pin LON drives RIZ. Alternatively, a differential external circuit can be driven from the two outputs in addition to the active feedback termination. In both cases, important stability considerations discussed in the Applications Information section should be carefully observed.

The impedance at each LNA output is 5 Ω. A 0.4 dB reduction in open circuit gain results when driving the VGA, and a 0.8 dB reduction results with an additional 100 Ω load at the output. The differential gain of the LNA is 6 dB higher. If the load is less than 200 Ω on either side, a compensating load is recommended on the opposite output.

LNA Noise

The input-referred voltage noise sets an important limit on system performance. The short-circuit input voltage noise of the LNA is 0.74 nV/√Hz or 0.82 nV/√Hz (at maximum gain), including the VGA noise. The open circuit, current noise is 2.5 pA/√Hz. These measurements, taken without a feedback resistor, provide the basis for calculating the input noise and noise figure performance of the configurations in Figure 75. Figure 76 and Figure 77 show simulations extracted from these results and the 4.1 dB noise figure (NF) measurement with the input actively matched to a 50 Ω source. Unterminated (RIZ = ∞) operation exhibits the lowest equivalent input noise and noise figure. Figure 76 shows the noise figure vs. source resistance, rising at low RS, where the LNA voltage noise is large compared to the source noise, and again at high RS due to current noise. The VGA input-referred voltage noise of 2.7 nV/√Hz is included in all of the curves.

AD8331/AD8332/AD8334
The primary purpose of input impedance matching is to improve the system transient response. With resistive termination, the input noise increases due to the thermal noise of the matching resistor and the increased contribution of the LNA input voltage noise generator. With active impedance matching, however, the contributions of both are smaller than they would be for resistive termination by a factor of 1/(1 + LNA Gain). Figure 76 shows their relative NF performance. In this graph, the input impedance is swept with RS to preserve the match at each point. The noise figures for a source impedance of 50 Ω are 7.1 dB, 4.1 dB, and 2.5 dB, respectively, for the resistive, active, and unterminated configurations. The noise figures for 200 Ω are 4.6 dB, 2.0 dB, and 1.0 dB, respectively. Figure 77 is a plot of NF vs. RS for various values of RIN, which is helpful for design purposes. The plateau in the NF for actively matched inputs mitigates source impedance variations. For comparison purposes, a preamp with a gain of 19 dB and noise spectral density of 1.0 nV/√Hz, combined with a VGA with 3.75 nV/√Hz, yields a noise figure degradation of approximately 1.5 dB (for most input impedances), significantly worse than the AD8331/AD8332/AD8334 performance. The equivalent input noise of the LNA is the same for singleended and differential output applications. The LNA noise figure improves to 3.5 dB at 50 Ω without VGA noise, but this is exclusive of noise contributions from other external circuits connected to LOP. A series output resistor is usually recommended for stability purposes when driving external circuits on a separate board (see the Applications Information section). In low noise applications, a ferrite bead is even more desirable.
VARIABLE GAIN AMPLIFIER The differential X-AMP VGA provides precise input attenuation and interpolation. It has a low input-referred noise of 2.7 nV/√Hz and excellent gain linearity. A simplified block diagram is shown in Figure 78. GAIN

X-AMP VGA The input of the VGA is a differential R-2R ladder attenuator network with 6 dB steps per stage and a net input impedance of 200 Ω differential. The ladder is driven by a fully differential input signal from the LNA and is not intended for single-ended operation. LNA outputs are ac-coupled to reduce offset and isolate their common-mode voltage. The VGA inputs are biased through the center tap connection of the ladder to VCM, which is typically set to 2.5 V and is bypassed externally to provide a clean ac ground. The signal level at successive stages in the input attenuator falls from 0 dB to −48 dB in +6 dB steps. The input stages of the X-AMP are distributed along the ladder, and a biasing interpolator, controlled by the gain interface, determines the input tap point. With overlapping bias currents, signals from successive taps merge to provide a smooth attenuation range from 0 dB to −48 dB. This circuit technique results in excellent linear-in-dB gain law conformance and low distortion levels and deviates ±0.2 dB or less from the ideal. The gain slope is monotonic with respect to the control voltage and is stable with variations in process, temperature, and supply. The X-AMP inputs are part of a gain-of-12 feedback amplifier that completes the VGA. Its bandwidth is 150 MHz. The input stage is designed to reduce feedthrough to the output and to ensure excellent frequency response uniformity across gain setting (see Figure 12 and Figure 13).
Gain Control Position along the VGA attenuator is controlled by a single-ended analog control voltage, VGAIN, with an input range of 40 mV to 1.0 V. The gain control scaling is trimmed to a slope of 50 dB/V (20 mV/dB). Values of VGAIN beyond the control range saturate to minimum or maximum gain values. Both channels of the AD8332 are controlled from a single gain interface to preserve matching. Gain can be calculated using Equation 1 and Equation 2. Gain accuracy is very good because both the scaling factor and absolute gain are factory trimmed. The overall accuracy relative to the theoretical gain expression is ±1 dB for variations in temperature, process, supply voltage, interpolator gain ripple, trim errors, and tester limits. The gain error relative to a best-fit line for a given set of conditions is typically ±0.2 dB. Gain matching between channels is better than 0.1 dB (Figure 11 shows gain errors in the center of the control range). When VGAIN < 0.1 or > 0.95, gain errors are slightly greater. The gain slope can be inverted, as shown in Figure 73 (except for the AD8332 AR models). The gain drops with a slope of −50 dB/V across the gain control range from maximum to minimum gain. This slope is useful in applications such as automatic gain control, where the control voltage is proportional to the measured output signal amplitude. The inverse gain mode is selected by setting the MODE pin to HI gain mode. Gain control response time is less than 750 ns to settle within 10% of the final value for a change from minimum to maximum gain.

VGA Noise
Common-Mode Biasing
In a typical application, a VGA compresses a wide dynamic range input signal to within the input span of an ADC. While the input-referred noise of the LNA limits the minimum resolvable input signal, the output-referred noise, which depends primarily on the VGA, limits the maximum instantaneous dynamic range that can be processed at any one particular gain control voltage. This limit is set in accordance with the quantization noise floor of the ADC.
An internal bias network connected to a midsupply voltage establishes common-mode voltages in the VGA and postamp. An externally bypassed buffer maintains the voltage. The bypass capacitors form an important ac ground connection because the VCM network makes a number of important connections internally, including the center tap of the VGA differential input attenuator, the feedback network of the VGA fixed gain amplifier, and the feedback network of the postamp in both gain settings. For best results, use a 1 nF capacitor and a 0.1 µF capacitor in parallel, with the 1 nF capacitor nearest to the VCM pin. Separate VCM pins are provided for each channel. For dc coupling to a 3 V ADC, the output common-mode voltage is adjusted to 1.5 V by biasing the VCM pin.
The output-referred noise is flat over most of the gain range because it is dominated by the fixed output-referred noise of the VGA. Values are 48 nV/√Hz in LO gain mode and 178 nV/√Hz in HI gain mode. At the high end of the gain control range, the noise of the LNA and the noise of the source prevail. The inputreferred noise reaches its minimum value near the maximum gain control voltage, where the input-referred contribution of the VGA becomes very small.
POSTAMPLIFIER The final stage has a selectable gain of 3.5 dB (×1.5) or 15.5 dB (×6), set by the HILO logic pin. Figure 79 is a simplified block diagram. +
VOH Gm1
At lower gains, the input-referred noise, and thus noise figure, increases as the gain decreases. The instantaneous dynamic range of the system is not lost, however, because the input capacity increases with it. The contribution of the ADC noise floor has the same dependence as well. The important relationship is the magnitude of the VGA output noise floor relative to that of the ADC. With its low output-referred noise levels, these devices ideally drive low voltage ADCs. The converter noise floor drops 12 dB for every two bits of resolution and drops at lower input fullscale voltages and higher sampling rates. ADC quantization noise is discussed in the Applications Information section. The preceding noise performance discussion applies to a differential VGA output signal. Although the LNA noise performance is the same in single-ended and differential applications, the VGA performance is not. The noise of the VGA is significantly higher in single-ended usage because the contribution of its bias noise is designed to cancel in the differential signal. A transformer can be used with single-ended applications when low noise is desired. Gain control noise is a concern in very low noise applications. Thermal noise in the gain control interface can modulate the channel gain. The resultant noise is proportional to the output signal level and usually only evident when a large signal is present. Its effect is observable only in LO gain mode where the noise floor is substantially lower. The gain interface includes an on-chip noise filter, which reduces this effect significantly at frequencies above 5 MHz. Care should be taken to minimize noise impinging at the GAIN input. An external RC filter can be used to remove VGAIN source noise. The filter bandwidth should be sufficient to accommodate the desired control bandwidth.

Output- and input-referred noise as a function of VGAIN are plotted in Figure 25 and Figure 27 for the short circuited input conditions. The input noise voltage is simply equal to the output noise divided by the measured gain at each point in the control range.
Figure 79. Postamplifier Block Diagram
Separate feedback attenuators implement the two gain settings. These are selected in conjunction with an appropriately scaled input stage to maintain a constant 3 dB bandwidth between the two gain modes (~150 MHz). The slew rate is 1200 V/µs in HI gain mode and 300 V/µs in LO gain mode. The feedback networks for HI and LO gain modes are factory trimmed to adjust the absolute gains of each channel.
Noise The topology of the postamp provides constant input-referred noise with the two gain settings and variable output-referred noise. The output-referred noise in HI gain mode increases (with gain) by four. This setting is recommended when driving converters with higher noise floors. The extra gain boosts the output signal levels and noise floor appropriately. When driving circuits with lower input noise floors, the LO gain mode optimizes the output dynamic range. Although the quantization noise floor of an ADC depends on a number of factors, the 48 nV/√Hz and 178 nV/√Hz levels are well suited to the average requirements of most 12-bit and 10-bit converters, respectively. An additional technique, described in the Applications Information section, can extend the noise floor even lower for possible use with 14-bit ADCs.

When active input termination is used, a decoupling capacitor (CIS) is required to isolate the input and output bias voltages of the LNA.
Figure 81. Basic Connections for a Typical Channel (AD8332 Shown)
The shunt input capacitor, CSH, reduces gain peaking at higher frequencies where the active termination match is lost due to the gain roll-off of the LNA at high frequencies. The value of CSH diminishes as RIN increases to 500 Ω, at which point no capacitor is required. Suggested values for CSH for 50 Ω ≤ RIN ≤ 200 Ω are shown in Table 7.

When a long trace to Pin INH is unavoidable, or if both LNA outputs drive external circuits, a small ferrite bead (FB) in series with Pin INH preserves circuit stability with negligible effect on noise. The bead shown is 75 Ω at 100 MHz (Murata BLM21 or equivalent). Other values can prove useful. Figure 82 shows the interconnection details of the LNA output. Capacitive coupling between the LNA outputs and the VGA inputs is required because of the differences in their dc levels and the need to eliminate the offset of the LNA. Capacitor values of 0.1 µF are recommended. There is a 0.4 dB loss in gain between the LNA output and the VGA input due to the 5 Ω output resistance. Additional loading at the LOP and LON outputs affects LNA gain.

The user should be aware of stray capacitance loading of the LNA outputs, in particular LON. The LNA can drive 100 Ω in parallel with 10 pF. If an LNA output is routed to a remote PC board, it tolerates a load capacitance up to 100 pF with the addition of a 49.9 Ω series resistor or ferrite 75 Ω/100 MHz bead.

Gain Input
Optional Output Voltage Limiting
The GAIN pin is common to both channels of the AD8332. The input impedance is nominally 10 MΩ, and a bypass capacitor from 100 pF to 1 nF is recommended.
The RCLMP pin provides the user with a means to limit the output voltage swing when used with loads that have no provisions for prevention of input overdrive. The peak-to-peak limited voltage is adjusted by a resistor to ground (see Table 8 for a list of several voltage levels and corresponding resistor values). Unconnected, the default limiting level is 4.5 V p-p.
VCM Input The common-mode voltage of Pin VCM, Pin VOL, and Pin VOH defaults to 2.5 V dc. With output ac-coupled applications, the VCM pin is unterminated; however, it must still be bypassed in close proximity for ac grounding of internal circuitry. The VGA outputs can be dc connected to a differential load, such as an ADC. Common-mode output voltage levels between 1.5 V and 3.5 V can be realized at Pin VOH and Pin VOL by applying the desired voltage at Pin VCM. DC-coupled operation is not recommended when driving loads on a separate PC board. The voltage on the VCM pin is sourced by an internal buffer with an output impedance of 30 Ω and a ±2 mA default output current (see Figure 83). If the VCM pin is driven from an external source, its output impedance should be <<30 Ω, and its current drive capability should be >>2 mA. If the VCM pins of several devices are connected in parallel, the external buffer should be capable of overcoming their collective output currents. When a common-mode voltage other than 2.5 V is used, a voltagelimiting resistor, RCLMP, is needed to protect against overload. INTERNAL CIRCUITRY 30Ω

Consult Table 3, Table 4, Table 5, and Table 6 for information about circuit functions controlled by the enable pins. Pin HILO is compatible with 3 V or 5 V CMOS logic families. It is either connected to ground or pulled up to 5 V, depending on the desired gain range and output noise.

If gain control noise in LO gain mode becomes a factor, maintaining ≤15 nV/√Hz noise at the GAIN pin ensures satisfactory noise performance. Internal noise prevails below 15 nV/√Hz at the GAIN pin. Gain control noise is negligible in HI gain mode.
Note that third harmonic distortion increases as waveform amplitudes approach clipping. For lowest distortion, the clamp level should be set higher than the converter input span. A clamp level of 1.5 V p-p is recommended for a 1 V p-p linear output range, 2.7 V p-p for a 2 V p-p range, or 1 V p-p for a 0.5 V p-p operation. The best solution is determined experimentally. Figure 84 shows third harmonic distortion as a function of the limiting level for a 2 V p-p output signal. A wider limiting level is desirable in HI gain mode.

Output Decoupling When driving capacitive loads greater than about 10 pF, or long circuit connections on other boards, an output network of resistors and/or ferrite beads can be useful to ensure stability. These components can be incorporated into a Nyquist filter such as the one shown in Figure 81. In Figure 81, the resistor value is 84.5 Ω. For example, all the evaluation boards for this series incorporate 100 Ω in parallel with a 120 nH bead. Lower value resistors are permissible for applications with nearby loads or

with gains less than 40 dB. The exact values of these components can be selected empirically. An antialiasing noise filter is typically used with an ADC. Filter requirements are application dependent. When the ADC resides on a separate board, the majority of filter components should be placed nearby to suppress noise picked up between boards and to mitigate charge kickback from the ADC inputs. Any series resistance beyond that required for output stability should be placed on the ADC board. Figure 85 shows a second-order, low-pass filter with a bandwidth of 20 MHz.

The relative noise and distortion performance of the two gain modes can be compared in Figure 25 and Figure 31 through Figure 41. The 48 nV/√Hz noise floor of the LO gain mode is suited to converters with higher sampling rates or resolutions (such as 12 bits). Both gain modes can accommodate ADC fullscale voltages as high as 4 V p-p. Because distortion performance remains favorable for output voltages as high as 4 V p-p (see Figure 36), it is possible to lower the output-referred noise even further by using a resistive attenuator (or transformer) at the output. The circuit in Figure 86 has an output full-scale range of 2 V p-p, a gain range of −10.5 dB to +37.5 dB, and an output noise floor of 24 nV/√Hz, making it suitable for some 14-bit ADC applications.

Figure 87. Overload Gain and Signal Conditions
The clamp interface mentioned in the Output Clamping section controls the maximum output swing of the postamp and its overload response. When the clamp feature is not used, the output level defaults to approximately 4.5 V p-p differential centered at 2.5 V common mode. When other common-mode levels are set through the VCM pin, the value of RCLMP should be selected for graceful overload. A value of 8.3 kΩ or less is recommended for 1.5 V or 3.5 V common-mode levels (7.2 kΩ for HI gain mode). This limits the output swing to just above 2 V p-p differential.
OPTIONAL INPUT OVERLOAD PROTECTION Applications in which high transients are applied to the LNA input can benefit from the use of clamp diodes. A pair of backto-back Schottky diodes can reduce these transients to manageable levels. Figure 88 illustrates how such a diode protection scheme can be connected. OPTIONAL SCHOTTKY OVERLOAD CLAMP FB

A multilayer board with power and ground planes is recommended with blank areas in the signal layers filled with ground plane. Be certain that the power and ground pins provided for robust power distribution to the device are connected. Decouple the power supply pins with surface-mount capacitors as close as possible to each pin to minimize impedance paths to ground. Decouple the LNA power pins from the VGA supply using ferrite beads. Together with the capacitors, ferrite beads eliminate undesired high frequencies without reducing the headroom. Use a larger value capacitor for every 10 chips to 20 chips to decouple residual low frequency noise. To minimize voltage drops, use a 5 V regulator for the VGA array.
Figure 89. Accommodating Multiple Sources
DISABLING THE LNA Where accessible, connection of the LNA enable pin to ground powers down the LNA, resulting in a current reduction of about half. In this mode, the LNA input and output pins can be left unconnected; however, the power must be connected to all the supply pins for the disabling circuit to function. Figure 90 illustrates the connections using AD8331 as an example.
Several critical LNA areas require special care. The LON and LOP output traces must be as short as possible before connecting to the coupling capacitors connected to Pin VIN and Pin VIP. RIZ must be placed near the LON pin as well. Resistors must be placed as close as possible to the VGA output pins, VOL and VOH, to mitigate loading effects of connecting traces. Values are discussed in the Output Decoupling section.

The AD8332 ideally meets the requirements of medical and industrial ultrasound applications. The TGC amplifier is a key subsystem in such applications because it provides the means for echo location of reflected ultrasound energy.
The AD8334 is the ideal solution for applications with limited board space. Figure 94 represents four channels routed to and away from this very compact quad VGA. Note that none of the signal paths crosses and that all four channels are spaced apart to eliminate crosstalk.
Figure 91 through Figure 93 are schematics of a dual, fully differential system using the AD8332 and the AD9238 12-bit high speed ADC with conversion speeds as high as 65 MSPS.
In this example, all of the components shown are 0402 size; however, the same layout is executable at the expense of slightly more board area. The sketch also assumes that both sides of the printed circuit board are available for components and that the bypass and power supply decoupling circuitry is located on the wiring side of the board.

AD8331 EVALUATION BOARD GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD8331 evaluation board is a platform for testing and evaluating the AD8331 variable gain amplifier (VGA). The board is provided completely assembled and tested; the user simply connects an input signal, VGAIN sources, and a 5 V power supply. The AD8331-EVALZ is lead free and RoHS compliant. Figure 95 is a photograph of the board.
USER-SUPPLIED OPTIONAL COMPONENTS
As shipped, the LNA input impedance of the AD8331-EVALZ is configured for 50 Ω to accommodate most signal generators and network analyzers. Input impedances up to 6 kΩ are realized by changing the values of RFB and CSH. Refer to the Theory of Operation section for details on this circuit feature. See Table 9 for typical values of input impedance and corresponding components. Table 9. LNA External Component Values for Common Source Impedances RIN (Ω) 50 75 100 200 500 6k
RFB (Ω, Nearest 1% Value) 274 412 562 1.13 k 3.01 k ∞
Figure 95. Photograph of AD8331-EVALZ
MEASUREMENT SETUP The basic board connection for measuring bandwidth is shown in Figure 97. A 5 V, 100 mA minimum power supply and a low noise, voltage reference supply for GAIN are required. Table 10 lists jumpers, and Figure 97 shows their functions and positions. The preferred signal detection method is a differential probe connected to VO, as shown in Figure 97. Single-ended loads can be connected using the board edge SMA connector, VOH. Be sure to take into account the 25.8 dB attenuation incurred when using the board in this manner. For connection to an ADC, the 270 Ω series resistors can be replaced with 0 Ω or other appropriate values.
CSH (pF) 22 12 8 1.2 None None
Table 10. Jumper Functions
The board is designed for 0603 size, surface-mount components. Back-to-back diodes can be installed at Location D3 if desired. To evaluate the LNA as a standalone amplifier, install optional SMA connectors LON and LOP and capacitors C1 and C2; typical values are 0.1 μF or smaller. At R4 and R8, 0 Ω resistors are installed unless capacitive loads larger than 10 pF are connected to the SMA connectors LON and LOP (such as coaxial cables). In that event, small value resistors (68 Ω to 100 Ω) must be installed at R4 and R8 to preserve the stability of the amplifier. A resistor can be inserted at RCLMP if output clamping is desired. Refer to Table 8 for appropriate values.

As shown in the schematic in Figure 96, the board provides for optional components. The components shown in black are for typical operation, and the components shown in gray are installed at the user’s discretion.

AD8332 EVALUATION BOARD GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD8332-EVALZ is a platform for the testing and evaluation of the AD8332 variable gain amplifier (VGA). The board is shipped assembled and tested, and users need only connect the signal and VGAIN sources to a single 5 V power supply. Figure 104 is a photograph of the component side of the board, and Figure 105 shows the schematic. The AD8332-EVALZ is lead free and RoHS compliant.

CSH1, CSH2 (pF) 22 12 8 1.2 None None
SMA connectors, S2, S3, S6, and S7, are provided for access to the LNA outputs or the VGA inputs. If the LNA is used alone, 0.1 µF coupling capacitors can be installed at the C5, C9, C23, and C24 locations. Resistors of 68 Ω to 100 Ω may be required if the load capacitances, as seen by the LNA outputs, are larger than approximately 10 pF.
03199-131
A resistor can be inserted at RCLMP if output clamping is desired. The peak-to-peak clamping level is adjusted by installing one of the standard 1% resistor values listed in Table 8.
Figure 104.Photograph of the AD8332-EVALZ
USER-SUPPLIED OPTIONAL COMPONENTS The board is built and tested using the components shown in black in Figure 105. Provisions are made for optional components (shown in gray) that can be installed for testing at user discretion. The default LNA input impedance is 50 Ω to match various signal generators and network analyzers. Input impedances up to 6 kΩ are realized by changing the values of RFBx and CSHx. For reference, Table 11 lists the common input impedance values and corresponding adjustments. The board is designed for 0603 size, surface-mount components.
A high frequency differential probe connected to the 2-pin headers, VOx, is the preferred method to observe a waveform at the VGA output. A typical setup is shown in Figure 106. Single-ended loads can be connected directly via the board edge SMA connectors. Note that the AD8332 output amplifier is buffered with 237 Ω resistors; therefore, be sure to compensate for attenuation if low impedances are connected to the output SMAs.
MEASUREMENT SETUP The basic board connections for measuring bandwidth are shown in Figure 106. A 5 V, 100 mA (minimum) power supply is required, and a low noise voltage reference supply is required for VGAIN.
BOARD LAYOUT The evaluation board circuitry uses four conductor layers. The two inner layers are power and ground planes, and all interconnecting circuitry is located on the outer layers. Figure 108 to Figure 111 illustrate the copper patterns.

AD8334 EVALUATION BOARD GENERAL DESCRIPTION
03199-122
The AD8334-EVALZ is a platform for the testing and evaluation of the AD8334 variable gain amplifier (VGA). The board is shipped assembled and tested, and users need only connect the signal and VGAIN sources and a single 5 V power supply. Figure 113 is a photograph of the board. The AD8334-EVALZ is lead free and RoHS compliant.

CONFIGURING THE INPUT IMPEDANCE
Viewing Signals
The board is built and tested using the components shown in black in Figure 115. Provisions are made for optional components (shown in gray) that can be installed at user discretion. As shipped, the input impedances of the low noise amplifiers (LNAs) are configured for 50 Ω to match the output impedances of most signal generators and network analyzers. Input impedances up to 6 kΩ can be realized by changing the values of the feedback resistors, RFB1, RFB2, RFB3, RFB4, and shunt capacitors, C6, C8, C10, and C12. For reference, Table 12 lists standard values of 1% resistors for some typical values of input impedance. Of course, if the user has determined that the source impedance falls between these values, the feedback resistor value can be calculated accordingly. Note that the board is designed to accept standard surface-mount, size 0603 components.
The preferred signal detector is a high impedance differential probe, such as the Tektronix P6247, 1 GHz differential probe, connected to the 2-pin headers (VO1, VO2, VO3, or VO4), as shown in Figure 116. The low capacitance of this probe has the least effect on the performance of the device of any detection method tried. The probe can also be used for monitoring input signals at IN1, IN2, IN3, or IN4. It can be used for probing other circuit nodes; however, be aware that the 200 kΩ input impedance can affect certain circuits.
Table 12. LNA External Component Values for Common Source Impedances RIN (Ω) 50 75 100 200 500 6k
RFB1, RFB2, RFB3, RFB4 (Ω, ±1%) 274 412 562 1.13 k 3.01 k No resistor
Differential-to-single-ended transformers are provided for single-ended output connections. Note that series resistors are provided to protect against accidental output overload should a 50 Ω load be connected to the connector. Of course, the effect of these resistors is to limit the bandwidth. If the load connected to the SMA is >500 Ω, the 237 Ω series resistors, RX1, RX2, RX3, RX4, RX5, RX6, RX7, and RX8, can be replaced with 0 Ω values.

Driving the VGA from an External Source or Using the LNA to Drive an External Load
Provisions are made for surface-mount SMA connectors that can be used for driving from either direction. If the LNA is not used, it is recommended that the capacitors, C16, C17, C21, C22, C26, C27, C31, and C32, be carefully removed to avoid driving the outputs of the LNAs.
Using the Clamp Circuit The board is shipped with no resistors installed in the spaces provided for clamp-circuit operation. Note that each pair of channels shares a clamp resistor. If the output clamping is desired, the resistors are installed in R49 and R50. The peak-topeak clamping level is application dependent.
03199-123
Appropriate components can be installed if the user wants to drive the VGA directly from an external source or to evaluate the LNA output. If the LNA is used to drive off-board loads or cables, small value series resistors (47 Ω to 100 Ω) are recommended for LNA decoupling. These can be installed in the R10, R11, R14, R15, R18, R19, R22, and R23 spaces.
Figure 114. AD8334-EVALZ Assembly
MEASUREMENT SETUP The basic board connections for measuring bandwidth are shown in Figure 116. A 5 V, 200 mA (minimum) power supply is required, and a low noise voltage reference supply is required for VGAIN.
BOARD LAYOUT The evaluation board circuitry uses four conductor layers. The two inner layers are ground, and all interconnecting circuitry is located on the outer layers. Figure 117 to Figure 120 illustrate the copper patterns.
