DESCRIPTION
The VCA2618 is a highly integrated, dual receive channel, Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA) with analog gain control. The VCA2618’s VGA section consists of two parts: the Voltage Controlled Attenuator (VCA) and the Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA). The gain and gain range of the PGA can be digitally programmed. The combination of these two programmable elements results in a variable gain ranging from 0dB up to a maximum gain as defined by the user through external connections. The single-ended unity gain input buffer provides predictable high input impedance. The output of the VGA can be used in either a single-ended or differential mode to drive high-performance Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converters. A separate power-down pin reduces power consumption. The VCA2618 also features low crosstalk and outstanding distortion performance. The combination of low noise and gain range programmability make the VCA2618 a versatile building block in a number of applications where noise performance is critical. The VCA2618 is available in a TQFP-32 package.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage. ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

SBOS254B
OVERVIEW
The VCA2618 is a dual-channel, VGA consisting of three primary blocks, an Input Buffer, a VCA, and a PGA. All stages are AC coupled, with the coupling into the PGA stage being made variable by placing an external capacitor between the CP1 and CP2 pins. This will be discussed further in the PGA section. By using the internal coupling into the PGA, the result is a high-pass filter characteristic with cutoff at approximately 75kHz. The output PGA naturally rolls off at around 30MHz, making the usable bandwidth of the VCA2618 between 75kHz and 30MHz.
power-on time of the VCA2618 would be increased. If a decrease in the power-on time is needed, the value can be decreased to no less than 100pF.
VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED ATTENUATOR
The magnitude of the VCA input signal from the input buffer is reduced by a programmable attenuation factor, set by the analog VCA Control Voltage (VCACNTL) at pin 24. The maximum attenuation is programmable by using the three MGS bits (pins 21, 22, and 23). Figure 2 illustrates this dual-adjust characteristic.

FIGURE 1. Simplified Block Diagram of the VCA2618.
FIGURE 2. Swept Attenuator Characteristic. The MGS bits adjust the overall range of attenuation and maximum gain while the VCACNTL voltage adjusts the actual attenuation factor. At any given maximum gain setting, the analog variable gain characteristic is linear in dB as a function of the control voltage, and is created as a piecewise approximation of an ideal dB-linear transfer function. The VCA control circuitry is common to both channels of the VCA2618. The range for the VCACNTL input spans from 0V to 3V. Although overdriving the VCACNTL input above the recommended 3V maximum will not damage the part, this condition should be avoided.
INPUT BUFFER
The input buffer is a unity gain amplifier (gain of +1) with a bandwidth of 100MHz with an input resistance of approximately 600kΩ. The input buffer isolates the circuit driving the VCA2618 inputs from the internal VCA block, which would present a varying impedance to the input circuitry. To allow symmetrical operation of the input buffer, the input to the buffer must be AC coupled through an external capacitor. The recommended value of the capacitor is 0.01µF. It should be noted that if the capacitor value were increased, the

PGA POST-AMPLIFIER
Figure 5 shows a simplified circuit diagram of the PGA block. As stated before, the input to the PGA is AC coupled by an internal capacitor. Provisions are made so that an external capacitor can be placed in parallel with the internal capacitor, thus lowering the usable low-frequency bandwidth. The lowfrequency bandwidth is set by the following equation:

(

)
where CEXTERNAL is the external capacitor value in farads. Care should be taken to avoid using too large a value of capacitor, as this can increase the power-on delay time. As described previously, the PGA gain is programmed with the same MGS bits that control the VCA maximum attenuation factor. Specifically, the maximum PGA gain at each MGS setting is the inverse (reciprocal) of the maximum VCA attenuation at that setting. Therefore, the VCA + PGA overall gain will always be 0dB (unity) when the analog VCACNTL input is set to 0V (the maximum attenuation for VCA). For VCACNTL = 3V (no attenuation), the VCA + PGA gain will be controlled by the programmed PGA gain (25dB to 43dB in 3dB steps). For clarity, the gain and attenuation factors are detailed in Table I. The PGA architecture converts the single-ended signal from the VCA into a differential signal. Low input noise was also a requirement of the PGA design due to the large amount of signal attenuation that can be asserted before the PGA. At minimum VCA attenuation (used for small input signals), the
TABLE I. MGS Settings. input buffer noise dominates; at maximum VCA attenuation (large input signals), the PGA noise dominates. Note that if the PGA output is used single-ended, the apparent gain will be 6dB lower.
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
The VCA2618 is an analog amplifier capable of high gain. When working on a PCB layout for the VCA2618, it is recommended to utilize a solid ground plane that is connected to analog ground. This helps to maximize the noise performance of the VCA2618. Adequate power-supply decoupling must be used in order to achieve the best possible performance. Decoupling capacitors on the VCACNTL voltage should also be used to help minimize noise. Recommended values can be obtained from the layout diagram of Figure 6.
