GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8367 is a high performance 45 dB variable gain
amplifier with linear-in-dB gain control for use from low
frequencies up to several hundred megahertz. The range,
flatness, and accuracy of the gain response are achieved using
Analog Devices’ X-AMP® architecture, the most recent in a
series of powerful proprietary concepts for variable gain
applications, which far surpasses what can be achieved using
competing techniques.
The input is applied to a 9-stage, 200 Ω resistive ladder network.
Each stage has 5 dB of loss, giving a total attenuation of 45 dB.
At maximum gain, the first tap is selected; at progressively
lower gains, the tap moves smoothly and continuously toward
higher attenuation values. The attenuator is followed by a
42.5 dB fixed gain feedback amplifier—essentially an
operational amplifier with a gain bandwidth product of
100 GHz—and is very linear, even at high frequencies. The
output third order intercept is +20 dBV at 100 MHz (+27 dBm,
re 200 Ω), measured at an output level of 1 V p-p with V
Rev. A

The analog gain-control input is scaled at 20 mV/dB and runs
from 50 mV to 950 mV. This corresponds to a gain of −2.5 dB
to +42.5 dB, respectively, when the gain up mode is selected and
+42.5 dB to −2.5 dB, respectively, when gain down mode is
selected. The gain down, or inverse, mode must be selected
when operating in AGC in which an integrated square-law
detector with an internal setpoint is used to level the output to
354 mV rms, regardless of the crest factor of the output signal.
A single external capacitor sets up the loop averaging time.
The AD8367 can be powered on or off by a voltage applied to
the ENBL pin. When this voltage is at a logic LO, the total
power dissipation drops to the milliwatt range. For a logic HI,
the chip powers up rapidly to its normal quiescent current of
26 mA at 25°C. The AD8367 is available in a 14-lead TSSOP
package for the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.

... The output impedance is determined by an internal 50 Ω damping resistor, as shown in Figure 29. Despite the fact that the output impedance is 50 Ω, the AD8367 should still be presented with a load of 200 Ω. This implies that the load is mismatched, but doing so preserves the distortion performance of the amplifier ...

... OUTPUT CENTERING To maximize the ac swing at the output of the AD8367, the output level is centered midway between ground and the supply. This is achieved when the DECL pin is bypassed to ground via a shunt capacitor. The loop acts to suppress deviations from the reference at outputs below its corner frequency while not affect- ing signals above it, as shown in Figure 31 ...

Page 13

... RMS DETECTION The AD8367 contains a square-law detector that senses the output signal and compares calibrated setpoint of 354 mV rms, which corresponds p-p sine wave. This setpoint is internally set and cannot be modified to change the AGC setpoint and the resulting VOUT level without using additional external components ...

The quoted performance includes the voltage division between the 50 Ω ...
