GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The AD605 is a low noise, accurate, dual-channel, linear-in-dB 
variable gain amplifier (VGA), optimized for any application 
requiring high performance, wide bandwidth variable gain 
control. Operating from a single 5 V supply, the AD605 provides 
differential inputs and unipolar gain control for ease of use. 
Added flexibility is achieved with a user-determined gain range 
and an external reference input that provide user-determined 
gain scaling (dB/V). 
The high performance linear-in-dB response of the AD605 is 
achieved with the differential input, single-supply, exponential 
amplifier (DSX-AMP) architecture. Each of the DSX-AMPs 
comprises a variable attenuator of 0 dB to −48.4 dB followed by 
a high speed, fixed-gain amplifier. The attenuator is based on a  
7-stage R-1.5R ladder network. The attenuation between tap 
points is 6.908 dB, and 48.360 dB for the entire ladder network. 
The DSX-AMP architecture results in 1.8 nV/√Hz input noise 
spectral density and accepts a ±2.0 V input signal when VOCM 
is biased at VP/2.  
Each independent channel of the AD605 provides a gain range 
of 48 dB that can be optimized for the application. Gain ranges 
between −14 dB to +34 dB and 0 dB to +48 dB can be selected 
by a single resistor between Pin FBK and Pin OUT. The lower 
and upper gain ranges are determined by shorting Pin FBK to 
Pin OUT or leaving Pin FBK unconnected, respectively. The 
two channels of the AD605 can be cascaded to provide 96 dB  
of very accurate gain range in a monolithic package. 
The gain control interface provides an input resistance of 
approximately 2 MΩ and scale factors from 20 dB/V to 30 dB/V 
for a VREF input voltage of 2.5 V to 1.67 V, respectively. Note 
that scale factors up to 40 dB/V are achievable with reduced 
accuracy for scales above 30 dB/V. The gain scales linearly in dB 
with control voltages (VGN) of 0.4 V to 2.4 V for the 20 dB/V 
scale and 0.20 V to 1.20 V for the 40 dB/V scale. When VGN is 
<50 mV, the amplifier is powered down to draw 1.9 mA. Under 
normal operation, the quiescent supply current of each amplifier 
channel is only 18 mA.  
The AD605 is available in a 16-lead PDIP and a 16-lead SOIC_N 
package and is guaranteed for operation over the −40°C to +85°C 
temperature range.
