PRODUCTION DATA
The THS7530 device is a fully-differential amplifier with 300-MHz bandwidth and with continually-variable gain from 11.6 dB to 46.5 dB. This amplifier together with an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit will precisely established a desired amplitude at its output.
The input architecture is a modified Gilbert cell. The output from the Gilbert cell is converted to a voltage and buffered to the output as a fully-differential signal. A summing node between the outputs is used to compare the output common-mode voltage to the VOCM input. The VOCM error amplifier then servos the output common-mode voltage to maintain it equal to the VOCM input. Left unterminated, VOCM is set to midsupply by internal resistors.
The gain control input is conditioned to give linear-in-dB gain control (block H). The gain control input is a differential signal from 0 V to 0.9 V which varies the gain from 11.6 dB to 46.5 dB.
VCL+ and VCL– provide inputs that limit the output voltage swing of the amplifier.
