Analog Devices ADL5331
The ADL5331 is a high performance, voltage-controlled variable gain amplifier/attenuator for use in applications with frequencies up to 1.2 GHz. The balanced structure of the signal path maximizes signal swing, eliminates common-mode noise and minimizes distortion while it also reduces the risk of spurious feed-forward at low gains and high frequencies caused by parasitic coupling. The 50 Ω differential input system converts the applied differential voltage at INHI and INLO to a pair of differential currents with high linearity and good common-mode rejection.| Part No. | ADL5331 |

The signal currents are then applied to a proprietary voltagecontrolled attenuator providing precise definition of the overall gain under the control of the linear-in-dB interface. The GAIN pin accepts a voltage from 0 V at a minimum gain to 1.4 V at a full gain with a 40 mV/dB scaling factor over most of the range.
