AD8338ACPZ-R7 - 80dB Gain Range 18MHz VGA | Analog Devices
The Analog Devices AD8338ACPZ-R7 is a low power, 18 MHz variable gain amplifier (VGA) with an 80 dB gain range, approximately 3 mA supply current from a single 5V supply, housed in a compact 16-lead LFCSP (3x3 mm) package. A variable gain amplifier is an amplifier whose gain is set by an external control voltage, enabling automatic gain control (AGC) in systems where input signal levels vary widely. Within the amplifier IC hierarchy - amplifier > special purpose amplifier > VGA > signal conditioning IC - the AD8338 sits between a sensor or mixer front end and an ADC, scaling wide-dynamic-range signals to match converter full-scale. This makes the VGA category fundamental to ultrasound, radar, and communications receiver signal chains. Key features include a wide gain range of 80 dB with linear-in-dB gain control via a single external GAIN pin voltage, low power consumption of approximately 3 mA supply current, and 18 MHz well-defined bandwidth from LF to 18 MHz. Fully differential inputs and outputs provide excellent common-mode rejection, and the device can also be driven single-ended with minimal external circuitry. A power-down pin conserves energy in duty-cycled battery-operated systems. The AD8338 uses a proprietary X-AMP-style architecture achieving high linearity and low noise across the full gain range. The fully differential signal path minimizes even-order distortion and improves signal integrity, while low power consumption extends battery life in portable instruments such as handheld ultrasound scanners. Typical applications include ultrasound time-gain compensation (TGC), radar and sonar receivers, communication receiver AGC loops, and industrial instrumentation front ends. In ultrasound, it amplifies weak deep-tissue echoes while attenuating strong near-field returns; in RF/IF receivers it optimizes dynamic range before digitization by the ADC. Design tip: provide solid supply decoupling and keep the gain control node quiet - gain-control feedthrough directly converts GAIN-pin noise into output noise. Balance the differential source impedance for optimal CMRR performance across the band.

The device is internally compensated and uses external feedback resistors to set closed-loop gain. Its complementary-bipolar output stage can swing to within a few volts of each rail on standard ±15 V supplies, and DC precision is sufficient for many instrumentation paths. The CB process gives the AD844 the combination of bandwidth and DC accuracy that made it a long-running industry reference. Typical applications include wideband pulse and RF signal-chain building blocks, video line drivers and distribution amplifiers, high-speed current-to-voltage converters for photodiode and DAC outputs, fast sample-and-hold buffers, and military/aerospace signal-conditioning blocks where MIL-STD-883 screening is required.
