GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8324 is a low cost amplifier designed for coaxial line driving. The Features and specifications make the AD8324 ideally suited for DOCSIS® 2.0 and Euro DOCSIS applications. The gain of the AD8324 is digitally controlled. An 8-bit serial word determines the desired output gain over a 59 d B range, resulting in gain changes of 1 d B/LSB.
The AD8324 accepts a differential or...
