Variable Gain Amplifier 

The differential X-AMP VGA provides precise input attenuation 
and interpolation. It has a low input-referred noise of 6 nV/√Hz 
and excellent gain linearity. A simplified block diagram is shown in

Figure 51. Simplified VGA Schematic 

The input of the VGA is a 14-stage differential resistor ladder with 
3.5 dB per tap. The resulting total gain range is 42 dB, which 
allows for range loss at the endpoints. The effective input resistance  

per side is 180 Ω nominally for a total differential resistance of 
360 Ω. The ladder is driven by a fully differential input signal from 
the LNA. LNA outputs are dc-coupled to avoid external decoupling 
capacitors. The common-mode voltage of the attenuator and the 
VGA is controlled by an amplifier that uses the same midsupply 
voltage derived in the LNA, permitting dc coupling of the LNA 
to the VGA without introducing large offsets due to common-
mode differences. However, any offset from the LNA becomes 
amplified as the gain increases, producing an exponentially 
increasing VGA output offset.  

The input stages of the X-AMP are distributed along the ladder, 
and a biasing interpolator, controlled by the gain interface, deter-
mines the input tap point. With overlapping bias currents, signals 
from successive taps merge to provide a smooth attenuation range 
from −42 dB to 0 dB. This circuit technique results in linear-in-dB 
gain law conformance and low distortion levels—only deviating 
±0.5 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 programmable gain feedback 
amplifier that completes the VGA. Its bandwidth is approximately 
100 MHz. The input stage is designed to reduce feedthrough to 
the output and to ensure excellent frequency response uniformity 
across the gain setting. 

Gain Control 

The gain control interface, GAIN±, is a differential input. V

GAIN

 

varies the gain of all VGAs through the interpolator by selecting 
the appropriate input stages connected to the input attenuator. 
For GAIN− at 0.8 V, the nominal GAIN+ range for 28 dB/V is 
0 V to 1.6 V, with the best gain linearity from about 0.16 V to 
1.44 V, where the error is typically less than ±0.5 dB. For 
GAIN+ voltages greater than 1.44 V and less than 0.16 V, the 
error increases. The value of GAIN+ can exceed the supply 
voltage by 1 V without gain foldover. 

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. 

There are two ways in which the GAIN+ and GAIN− pins can 
be interfaced. With the single-ended method, a Kelvin type of 
connection to ground can be used as shown in Figure 52. For 
driving multiple devices, it is preferable to use the differential 
method shown in Figure 53. In either method, the GAIN+ and 
GAIN− pins should be dc-coupled and driven to accommodate 
a 1.6 V full-scale input.
