Drive ADCs directly APPLICATIONS Ultrasound and sonar time-gain controls High performance AGC systems Signal measurement GENERAL DESCRIPTION Preamplifier gains between 5 and 10 (14 dB and 20 dB) provide The AD604 is an ultralow noise, very accurate, dual-channel, overall gain ranges per channel of 0 dB through 48 dB and 6 dB linear-in-dB variable gain amplifier (VGA) optimized for time- through 54 dB. The two channels of the AD604 can be cascaded based variable gain control in ultrasound applications; however, to provide greater levels of gain range by bypassing the preamplifier it supports any application requiring low noise, wide bandwidth, of the second channel. However, in multiple channel systems, variable gain control. Each channel of the AD604 provides a cascading the AD604 with other devices in the AD60x VGA 300 kΩ input resistance and unipolar gain control for ease of family that do not include a preamplifier may provide a more use. User-determined gain ranges, gain scaling (dB/V), and dc efficient solution. The AD604 provides access to the output of level shifting of output further optimize performance. the preamplifier, allowing for external filtering between the Each channel of the AD604 uses a high performance preamplifier and the differential attenuator stage. preamplifier that provides an input-referred noise voltage of Note that scale factors up to 40 dB/V are achievable with reduced 0.8 nV/√Hz. The very accurate linear-in-dB response of the accuracy for scales above 30 dB/V. The gain scales linearly in AD604 is achieved with the differential input exponential decibels with control voltages of 0.4 V to 2.4 V with the 20 dB/V amplifier (DSX-AMP) architecture. Each DSX-AMP comprises scale. Below and above this gain control range, the gain begins a variable attenuator of 0 dB to 48.36 dB followed by a high to deviate from the ideal linear-in-dB control law. The gain speed fixed-gain amplifier. The attenuator is a 7-stage control region below 0.1 V is not used for gain control. When R-1.5R ladder network. The attenuation between tap points is the gain control voltage is <50 mV, the amplifier channel is 6.908 dB and 48.36 dB for the ladder network. powered down to 1.9 mA. The equation for the linear-in-dB gain response is The AD604 is available in 24-lead SSOP, SOIC, and PDIP G (dB) = packages and is guaranteed for operation over the −40°C to (Gain Scaling (dB/V) × VGN (V)) + (Preamp Gain (dB) – 19 dB) +85°C temperature range.

Multiple input connections, testpoints, switch-selectable options, and on-board trims offer convenience when configuring the AD604 in various operating modes. The evaluation board requires only a dual 5 V supply capable of 200 mA or higher to operate both channels. Prior to shipment, the evaluation board is fully tested. Users need only attach power supply leads and the appropriate test equipment to the board. Because of this flexibility, some of the component positions on the board are user selectable. Installing or changing additional parts, such as gain resistor values or SMA connectors for non- standard I/O, is discretionary. The AD604-EVALZ is fabricated on a 4-layer board with inner power and ground layers. Figure 55 is a photograph of the top views of the board, assembly and artwork layers are shown in Figure 56, a representative test setup is shown in Figure 57, and Figure 58 to Figure 62 show the artwork drawings of the evaluation board. Figure 56. AD604 Evaluation Board Assembly DSX INPUT CONNECTIONS The VGA input configuration options are single-ended or differential. Connections are provided for each of the inputs and are labeled VGAx+IN and VGAx−IN. Switches VGAx+IN and VGAx−IN select between the preamplifier outputs (PAOx) and the VGA SMA input connectors. For direct drive of the Channel VGA channels from an external source, such as a signal generator, simply use the switches to select the desired signal paths. Refer to the schematic shown in Figure 63 for circuit details. Because the VGA section of the AD604 uses a single 5 V supply, the VGA inputs are ac-coupled. The VGA ladder network input is connected to the device ±DSX1/±DSX2 pins, and the network impedance is nominally 200 Ω. If direct access to the DSX is desired, signals can be applied to the test loops ±DSX1/±DSX2. Optionally, SMA connectors can be installed at the VGAx±IN locations and 66.5 Ω, 1% resistors at R5, R6, R9, and R10 to provide an input termination value of 49.9Ω.

FANTASTIC RESOURCE

One of our top priorities is maintaining our business with precision, and we are constantly looking for affiliates that can help us achieve our goal. With the aid of GID Industrial, our obsolete product management has never been more efficient. They have been a great resource to our company, and have quickly become a go-to supplier on our list!

HARD TO FIND A BETTER PROVIDER

star star star star star

Our company provides services to aid in the manufacture of technological products, such as semiconductors and flat panel displays, and often searching for distributors of obsolete product we require can waste time and money. Finding GID Industrial proved to be a great asset to our company, with cost effective solutions and superior knowledge on all of their materials, it’d be hard to find a better provider of obsolete or hard to find products.

CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS QUALITY SOLUTIONS

Over the years, the equipment used in our company becomes discontinued, but they’re still of great use to us and our customers. Once these products are no longer available through the manufacturer, finding a reliable, quick supplier is a necessity, and luckily for us, GID Industrial has provided the most trustworthy, quality solutions to our obsolete component needs.

TERRIFIC RESOURCE

This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.

When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
