the value in Table 1 due to the choice of calibration points and
the slight nonideality of the response.
In most applications, the AGC loop is closed through the
setpoint interface and the VSET pin. In measurement mode,
VOUT is directly connected to VSET (see the Measurement
Mode Basic Connections section for more information). In
controller mode, a control voltage is applied to VSET, and the
VOUT pin typically drives the control input of an amplification
or attenuation system. In this case, the voltage at the VSET pin
forces a signal amplitude at the RF inputs of the ADL5902 that
balances the system through feedback.
RF INPUT INTERFACE
Figure 37 shows the RF input connections within the ADL5902.
The input impedance is set primarily by an internal 2 kΩ resistor

half the supply voltage on each pin is established internally.
Either the INHI or INLO pin can be used as the single-ended
RF input pin. Signal coupling capacitors must be connected
from the input signal to the INHI and INLO pins. A single
external 60.4 Ω resistor to ground from the desired input
creates an equivalent 50 Ω impedance over a broad section of
the operating frequency range. The other input pin should be
RF ac-coupled to common (ground). The input signal high-pass
corner formed by the input coupling capacitor’s internal and
external resistances is
where C is the capacitance in farads and f
input coupling capacitors must be large enough in value to pass
the input signal frequency of interest and determine the low end
of the frequency response. INHI and INLO can also be driven
differentially using a balun.

Extensive ESD protection is employed on the RF inputs, and
this protection limits the maximum possible input to the
ADL5902.
SMALL SIGNAL LOOP RESPONSE
The ADL5902 uses a VGA in a loop to force a squared RF signal
to be equal to a squared dc voltage. This nonlinear loop can be
simplified and solved for a small signal loop response. The low-
pass corner pole is given by
