The ADRF6521 is a dual, fully differential, low noise and low distortion variable gain amplifier (VGA). The high spurious-free dynamic range over the gain range makes the ADRF6521 ideal for communication systems with dense constellations, multiple carriers, and nearby interferers. The VGA has a 21 dB attenuation range with a typical voltage gain of 18 dB. The differential input impedance is 100 ?, while the differential output impedance is 16 ?. The ?1 dB gain flatness bandwidth is 2.5 GHz. The output buffers are capable of swinging 1.5 V p-p into 100 ? loads at >55 dBc for second-order and third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD2 and IMD3), and for second and third harmonic distortion (HD2 and HD3) from low frequency to 1 GHz. Variable output dc offset control is accomplished with the OFS1 and OFS2 pins, and the output common-mode can be controlled with the VOCM pin.The ADRF6521 flexibly operates from a single +5 V supply or from a range of dual supplies and consumes a total supply current of 200 mA. When fully disabled, it consumes 25 mA typical. The ADRF6521 is fabricated in an advanced silicon-germanium BiCMOS process and is available in a 20-lead, exposed pad, 3 mm ? 3 mm LFCSP. Performance is specified over the ?40?C to +85?C temperature range.Applications Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint radios Baseband IQ receivers Diversity receivers ADC drivers Instrumentation Medical
