PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD600 and AD602 dual channel, low noise variable gain
amplifiers are optimized for use in ultrasound imaging systems,
but are applicable to any application requiring very precise gain,
low noise and distortion, and wide bandwidth. Each indepen-
dent channel provides a gain of 0 dB to +40 dB in the AD600
and –10 dB to +30 dB in the AD602. The lower gain of the
AD602 results in an improved signal-to-noise ratio at the out-
put. However, both products have the same 1.4 nV/ Hz input
noise spectral density. The decibel gain is directly proportional
to the control voltage, is accurately calibrated, and is supply-
and temperature-stable.
To achieve the difficult performance objectives, a proprietary
circuit form—the X-AMP®—has been developed. Each channel
of the X-AMP comprises a variable attenuator of 0 dB to
–42.14 dB followed by a high speed fixed gain amplifier. In this
way, the amplifier never has to cope with large inputs, and can
benefit from the use of negative feedback to precisely define the
gain and dynamics. The attenuator is realized as a seven-stage
R-2R ladder network having an input resistance of 100 , laser-
trimmed to 2%. The attenuation between tap points is 6.02 dB;
the gain-control circuit provides continuous interpolation be-
tween these taps. The resulting control function is linear in dB.

The gain-control interfaces are fully differential, providing an
input resistance of ~15 M and a scale factor of 32 dB/V (that
is, 31.25 mV/dB) defined by an internal voltage reference. The
response time of this interface is less than 1 s. Each channel
also has an independent gating facility that optionally blocks sig-
nal transmission and sets the dc output level to within a few mil-
livolts of the output ground. The gating control input is TTL
and CMOS compatible.
The maximum gain of the AD600 is 41.07 dB, and that of the
AD602 is 31.07 dB; the –3 dB bandwidth of both models is
nominally 35 MHz, essentially independent of the gain. The
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a 1 V rms output and a 1 MHz
noise bandwidth is typically 76 dB for the AD600 and 86 dB for
the AD602. The amplitude response is flat within 0.5 dB from
100 kHz to 10 MHz; over this frequency range the group delay
varies by less than 2 ns at all gain settings.
Each amplifier channel can drive 100
low distortion. For example, the peak specified output is 2.5 V
minimum into a 500
load, or 1 V into a 100
200
load in shunt with 5 pF, the total harmonic distortion for
a 1 V sinusoidal output at 10 MHz is typically –60 dBc.
The AD600J and AD602J are specified for operation from 0 C
to +70 C, and are available in both 16-pin plastic DIP (N) and
16-pin SOIC (R). The AD600A and AD602A are specified for
operation from –40 C to +85 C and are available in both 16-pin
cerdip (Q) and 16-pin SOIC (R).
The AD600S and AD602S are specified for operation from
–55 C to +125 C and are available in a 16-pin cerdip (Q) pack-
age and are MIL-STD-883 compliant. The AD600S and
AD602S are also available under DESC SMD 5962-94572.

Summary of Contents for Analog Devices AD600

  • Page 1 Each indepen- dent channel provides a gain of 0 dB to +40 dB in the AD600 and –10 dB to +30 dB in the AD602. The lower gain of the AD602 results in an improved signal-to-noise ratio at the out- put.
  • Page 2 1 k The dc gain of the main amplifier in the AD600 is X113; thus an input offset of only 100 V becomes an 11.3 mV output offset. In the AD602, the amplifier’s gain is X35.7;...

    0 dB to 42.14 dB with in- dependent control interfaces, each having a scaling factor of 32 dB per volt. The gain of each amplifier in the AD600 is laser trimmed to 41.07 dB (X113), thus providing a control range of –1.07 dB to 41.07 dB (0 dB to 40 dB with overlap), while the...
  • Page 5 (A1OP and A1CM) drives the input of A2 via a high-pass network (usually just a capacitor) that rejects the dc offset. The nominal gain range is now –2 dB to +82 dB for the AD600 or –22 dB to +62 dB for the AD602.
  • Page 6 INPUT C1HI V = 25V Figure 3. AD600 Gain Control Input Calculations for Sequential Control Operation The gains are offset (Figure 4) such that A2’s gain is increased only after A1’s gain has reached its maximum value. Note that for a differential input of –700 mV or less, the gain of a single amplifier (A1 or A2) will be at its minimum value of –1.07 dB;...

  • Page 8 Combinations built by cascading two amplifiers include –20 dB to +60 dB (using one AD602), –10 dB to +70 dB (1/2 of an AD602 followed by 1/2 of an AD600), and 0 dB to 80 dB (one AD600). In multiple-channel applications, extra protection against oscillations can be provided by using amplifier sections from different packages.
  • Page 9 A Low Noise AGC Amplifier with 80 dB Gain Range Figure 15 provides an example of the ease with which the OUTPUT AD600 can be connected as an AGC amplifier. A1 and A2 are GROUND cascaded, with 6 dB of attenuation introduced by the 100...
  • Page 10 Thus, an input of 2 V rms would be required to produce a 1 V rms output at the minimum gain, which exceeds the 1 V rms maximum input specification of the AD600. The available gain and a voltage which range is therefore 0 dB to 74 dB (or, X1 to X5000).
  • Page 11 1.2 V (for the square wave case), the stabilization point can be set to any higher amplitude, up to the maximum output – 2) V which the AD600 can support. It is only neces- sary to split R2 into two components of appropriate ratio whose parallel sum remains close to the zero-TC value of 806 .
  • Page 12 U3B, with a time constant of 3 ms formed by the parallel sum of R6/R7 and C3. Now, if the output of the AD600 is too high, V rms will be greater than the “setpoint” of 316 mV, causing the output of U3B—that is, V...

  • Page 15 R4/C2; op amp sections U3A and U3B (AD713) are used to provide impedance buffering, since the input resistance of the AD600 is only 100 . A further zero at 12 Hz is provided by C4 and the 6.7 k input resistance of the AD636 rms converter.
  • Page 16 Range ratio relative to 0 dBV, this being almost the maximum output capability of the AD600. Results for the simultaneous mode can be seen in Figure 33. The S/ N ratio degreades uniformly as the gain is increased. Note that since the inverting gain control was used, the gain in this curve and in Figure 34 decreases for more positive values of the gain-control voltage.
  • Page 17 This arrangement of staggered gains can be easily implemented because, when the control inputs of the AD600 are overdriven, the gain limits to its maximum or minimum values without side effects. This eliminates the need for awkward nonlinear shaping circuits that have previously been used to break up the gain range of multistage AGC amplifiers.
