ad600/ad602 rev. f | page 10 of 32 theory of operation the ad600/ad602 have the same general design and features. they comprise two fixed gain amplifiers, each preceded by a voltage-controlled attenuator of 0 db to 42.14 db with independent control interfaces, each having a scaling factor of 32 db per volt. the ad600 amplifiers are laser trimmed to a gain of 41.07 db (113), providing a control range of ?1.07 db to +41.07 db (0 db to +40 db with overlap). the ad602 amplifiers have a gain of 31.07 db (35.8) and provide an overall gain of ?11.07 db to +31.07 db (?10 db to +30 db with overlap). the advantage of this topology is that the amplifier can use negative feedback to increase the accuracy of its gain. in addition, because the amplifier does not have to handle large signals at its input, the distortion can be very low. another feature of this approach is that the small-signal gain and phase response, and thus the pulse response, are essentially independent of gain. figure 21 is a simplified schematic of one channel. the input attenuator is a 7-stage r-2r ladder network, using untrimmed resistors of nominally r = 62.5 , which results in a characteristic resistance of 125 20%. a shunt resistor is included at the input and laser trimmed to establish a more exact input resistance of 100 2%, which ensures accurate operation (gain and hp corner frequency) when used in conjunction with external resistors or capacitors. precision passive input attenuator gating interface scaling reference gat1 a1op a1cm c1hi c1lo a1hi a1lo v g gain control interface rf2 2.24k ?

ad600/ad602 rev. f | page 11 of 32 it is apparent from the foregoing that it is essential to use a low resistance in the design of the ladder network to achieve low noise. in some applications, this can be inconvenient, requiring the use of an external buffer or preamplifier. however, very few amplifiers combine the needed low noise with low distortion at maximum input levels, and the power consumption required to achieve this performance is quite high (due to the need to maintain very low resistance values while also coping with large inputs). on the other hand, there is little value in providing a buffer with high input impedance because the usual reason for thisthe minimization of loading of a high resistance source is not compatible with low noise. apart from the small variations just mentioned, the snr at the output is essentially independent of the attenuator setting, because the maximum undistorted output is 1 v rms, and the nsd at the output of the ad600 is fixed at 113 114 nv/hz, or 158 nv/hz. therefore, in a 1 mhz bandwidth, the output snr is 76 db. the input nsd of the ad600/ad602 is the same but, because of the 10 db lower gain in the ad602s fixed amplifier, its output snr is 10 db better, or 86 db in a 1 mhz bandwidth. gain-control interface the attenuation is controlled through a differential, high impedance (15 m) input, with a scaling factor that is laser trimmed to 32 db per volt, that is, 31.25 mv/db. each of the two amplifiers has its own control interface. an internal band gap reference ensures stability of the scaling with respect to supply and temperature variations and is the only circuitry common to both channels. when the differential input voltage v g = 0 v, the attenuator slider is centered, providing an attenuation of +21.07 db, resulting in an overall gain of +20 db (= C21.07 db + +41.07 db). when the control input is ?625 mv, the gain is lowered by +20 db (= +0.625 +32) to 0 db; when set to +625 mv, the gain is increased by +20 db to +40 db. when this interface is overdriven in either direction, the gain approaches either ?1.07 db (= ?42.14 db + +41.07 db) or +41.07 db (= 0 + +41.07 db), respectively. the gain of the ad600 can be calculated by gain (db) = 32 v g + 20 (1) where v g is in volts. for the ad602, the expression is gain (db) = 32 v g + 10 (2) operation is specified for v g in the range from ?625 mv dc to +625 mv dc. the high impedance gain-control input ensures minimal loading when driving many amplifiers in multiple- channel applications. the differential input configuration provides flexibility in choosing the appropriate signal levels and polarities for various control schemes. for example, the gain-control input can be fed differentially to the inputs or single-ended by simply grounding the unused input. in another example, if the gain is controlled by a dac providing a positive-only, ground-referenced output, the gain control lo pin (either c1lo or c2lo) should be biased to a fixed offset of 625 mv to set the gain to 0 db when gain control hi (c1hi or c2hi) is at zero and to set the gain to 40 db when at 1.25 v. it is a simple matter to include a voltage divider to achieve other scaling factors. when using an 8-bit dac with an fs output of 2.55 v (10 mv/bit), a 1.6 divider ratio (generating 6.25 mv/bit) results in a gain setting resolution of 0.2 db/bit. the process of cascading the two sections of an ad600 or ad602 when various options exist for gain control is explained in the achieving 80 db gain range section. signal-gating inputs each amplifier section of the ad600/ad602 is equipped with a signal-gating function, controlled by a ttl or cmos logic input (gat1 or gat2). the ground references for these inputs are the signal input grounds a1lo and a2lo, respectively. operation of the channel is unaffected when this input is lo or left open-circuited. signal transmission is blocked when this input is hi. the dc output level of the channel is set to within a few millivolts of the output ground (a1cm or a2cm), and simultaneously the noise level drops significantly. the reduction in noise and spurious signal feedthrough is useful in ultrasound beam-forming applications, where many amplifier outputs are summed. common-mode rejection a special circuit technique provides rejection of voltages appearing between input grounds (a1lo and a2lo) and output grounds (a1cm and a2cm). this is necessary because of the op amp form of the amplifier, as shown in figure 21. the feedback voltage is developed across the rf1 resistor (which, to achieve low noise, has a value of only 20 ). the voltage developed across this resistor is referenced to the input common, so the output voltage is also referred to that node. for zero differential signal input between a1hi and a1lo, the output a1op simply follows the voltage at a1cm. note that the range of voltage differences that can exist between a1lo and a1cm (or a2lo and a2cm) is limited to about 100 mv. figure 18 shows the typical common-mode rejection ratio vs. frequency. achieving 80 db gain range the two amplifier sections of the x-amp can be connected in series to achieve higher gain. in this mode, the output of a1 (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 C2 db to +82 db for the ad600 or ?22 db to +62 db for the ad602.

ad600/ad602 rev. f | page 15 of 32 applications information the full potential of any high performance amplifier can be realized only by careful attention to details in its applications. the following pages describe fully tested circuits in which many such details have already been considered. however, as is always true of high accuracy, high speed analog circuits, the schematic is only part of the story; this is no less true for the ad600/ ad602. appropriate choices in the overall board layout and the type and placement of power supply decoupling components are very important. as explained previously, the input grounds a1lo and a2lo must use the shortest possible connections. cont r ol v ol t a ge, +625mv ?625mv 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 the following circuits show examples of time-gain control for ultrasound and sonar, methods for increasing the output drive, and agc amplifiers for audio and rf/if signal processing using both peak and rms detectors. these circuits also illustrate methods of cascading x-amps for either maintaining the optimal snr or maximizing the accuracy of the gain-control voltage for use in signal measurement. these agc circuits can be modified for use as voltage-controlled amplifiers in sonar and ultrasound applications by removing the detector and substituting a dac or other voltage source for supplying the control voltage. time-gain control (tgc ) and time-variable gain (tvg) ultrasound and sonar systems share a similar requirement: both need to provide an exponential increase in gain in response to a linear control voltage, that is, a gain control that is linear in db. figure 33 shows the ad600/ad602 configured for a control voltage ramp starting at ?625 mv and ending at +625 mv for a gain-control range of 40 db. the polarity of the gain-control voltage can be reversed, and the control voltage inputs, c1hi and c1lo, can be reversed to achieve the same effect. the gain- control voltage can be supplied by a voltage output dac, such as the ad7244 , which contains two complete dacs, operates from 5 v supplies, has an internal reference of +3 v, and provides 3 v of output swing. as such, it is well suited for use with the ad600/ad602, needing only a few resistors to scale the output voltage of the dacs to the levels needed by the ad600/ad602. ref a1 a2 c1hi a1cm a1op vneg a2op a2cm c2hi c1lo a1hi a1lo gat1 a2lo a2hi c2lo v g ad600 or ad602 gat2 +5v ?5v + ? + ? vpos voltage-output dac a1 gain 0db 40db 00538-031 v g vpos vneg v in figure 33. the simplest application of the x-amp is as a tgc or tvg amplifier in ultrasound or sonar (only a1 connections shown for simplicity) increasing output drive the ad600/ad602 output stage has limited capability for negative-load driving capability. for driving loads less than 500 , the load drive can be increased by approximately 5 ma by connecting a 1 k pull-down resistor from the output to the negative supply (see figure 34 ). driving capacitive loads for driving capacitive loads of greater than 5 pf, insert a 10 resistor between the output and the load. this lowers the possibility of oscillation. 1k ? 1 2 3 4 5 16 15 14 13 12 6 7 8 11 10 9 ref a1 c1hi a1cm a1op c1lo a1hi a1lo gat1 gain-control voltage a2 a2op a2cm c2hi a2lo a2hi c2lo gat2 +5v ?5v + ? + ? ad600/ ad602 pull-dow resistor added n 00538-032 figure 34. adding a 1 k pull-down resistor increases the x-amp output drive by about 5 ma (only a1 connections shown for simplicity)

ad600/ad602 low noise agc amplifier with 80 db gain range this is a class ab amplifier. as v in increases in a positive direction, q1 conducts more heavily and its r e becomes lower while q2 increases. conversely, increasingly negative values of v in result in the r e of q2 decreasing, while the r e of q1 increases. the design is chosen such that the net emitter resistance is essentially independent of the instantaneous value of v in , resulting in moderately low distortion. low values of resistance and moderately high bias currents are important in achieving the low noise, wide bandwidth, and low distortion of this preamplifier. heavy decoupling prevents noise on the power supply lines from being conveyed to the input of the x-amp. figure 37 provides an example of the ease with which the ad600 can be connected as an agc amplifier. a1 and a2 are cascaded, with 6 db of attenuation introduced by the 100 resistor r1, while a time constant of 5 ns is formed by c1 and the 50 of net resistance at the input of a2. this has the dual effect of lowering the overall gain range from 0 db to +80 db to ?6 db to +74 db and introducing a single-pole, low-pass filter with a ?3 db frequency of about 32 mhz. this ensures stability at the maximum gain for a slight reduction in the overall bandwidth. the c4 capacitor blocks the small dc offset voltage at the output of a1 (which may otherwise saturate a2 at its maximum gain) and introduces a high-pass corner at about 8 khz, useful in eliminating low frequency noise and spurious signals that can be present at the input. table 4. measured preamplifier performance measurement value unit gain (f = 30 mhz) 6 db bandwidth (?3 db) 250 mhz input signal for 1 db compression 1 v p-p distortion v in = 200 mv p-p hd2 0.27 % hd3 0.14 % v in = 500 mv p-p hd2 0.44 % hd3 0.58 % system input noise 1.03 nv/hz spectral density (nsd) (preamp plus x-amp) input resistance 1.4 k input capacitance 15 pf input bias current 150 a power supply voltage 5 v quiescent current 15 ma rev. f | page 17 of 32 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 ref a1 a2 + ? + ? ad600 c1hi a1cm a1op vpos vneg a2op a2cm c2hi c1lo a1hi a1lo gat1 gat2 a2lo a2hi c2lo r1 100 ? c4 0.1f c1 100pf +5 v r3 46.4k ? r4 3.74k ? rf input c3 15pf ad590 +5v q1 2n3904 fb fb +5v ?5v +5v dec ?5v dec 0.1f 0.1f power supply decoupling network rf output +5v dec ?5v dec + ? v ptat v g 300a (at 300k) c2 1f r2 806? 1% 00538-035 figure 37. this accurate hf agc amplifier uses three active components
ad600/ad602 rev. f | page 18 of 32 frequency (mhz) agc output change (db) 1 100 10 0.1 a simple half-wave detector is used based on q1 and r2. the average current into capacitor c2 is the difference between the current provided by the ad590 (300 a at 300 k, 27c) and the collector current of q1. in turn, the control voltage, v g , is the time integral of this error current. when v g (thus the gain) is stable, the rectified current in q1 must, on average, balance exactly the current in the ad590 . if the output of a2 is too small to do this, v g ramps up, causing the gain to increase until q1 conducts sufficiently. the operation of this control system follows. first, consider the particular case where r2 is zero and the output voltage, v out , is a square wave at, for example, 100 khz, well above the corner frequency of the control loop. during the time v out is negative, q1 conducts. when v out is positive, it is cut off. because the average collector current is forced to be 300 a and the square wave has a 50% duty-cycle, the current when conducting must be 600 a. with r2 omitted, the peak value of v out would be just the v be of q1 at 600 a (typically about 700 mv) or 2 v be p-p. this voltage, thus the amplitude at which the output stabilizes, has a strong negative temperature coefficient (tc), typically C1.7 mv/c. while this may not be troublesome in some applications, the correct value of r2 renders the output stable with temperature. to understand this, first note that the current in the ad590 is closely proportional to absolute temperature (ptat). in fact, this ic is intended for use as a thermometer. for the moment, assume that the signal is a square wave. when q1 is conducting, v out is the sum of v be and a voltage that is ptat and that can be chosen to have an equal but opposite tc of the base-to- emitter voltage. this is actually nothing more than the band gap voltage reference principle thinly disguised. when r2 is chosen so that the sum of the voltage across it and the v be of q1 is close to the band gap voltage of about 1.2 v, v out is stable over a wide range of temperatures, provided that q1 and the ad590 share the same thermal environment. because the average emitter current is 600 a during each half- cycle of the square wave, a resistor of 833 would add a ptat voltage of 500 mv at 300 k, increasing by 1.66 mv/c. in practice, the optimum value of r2 depends on the transistor used and, to a lesser extent, on the waveform for which the temperature stability is to be optimized; for the devices shown and sine wave signals, the recommended value is 806 . this resistor also serves to lower the peak current in q1, and the 200 hz lp filter it forms with c2 helps to minimize distortion due to ripple in v g . note that the output amplitude under sine wave conditions is higher than for a square wave because the average value of the current for an ideal rectifier would be 0.637 times as large, causing the output amplitude to be 1.88 v (= 1.2/0.637), or 1.33 v rms. in practice, the somewhat nonideal rectifier results in the sine wave output being regulated to about 1.275 v rms. an offset of 375 mv is applied to the inverting gain-control inputs c1lo and c2lo. therefore, the nominal C625 mv to +625 mv range for v g is translated upward (at v g ) to C0.25 v for minimum gain to +1 v for maximum gain. this prevents q1 from going into heavy saturation at low gains and leaves sufficient headroom of 4 v for the ad590 to operate correctly at high gains when using a 5 v supply. in fact, the 6 db interstage attenuator means that the overall gain of this agc system actually runs from C6 db to +74 db. 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 range is therefore 0 db to 74 db (or x1 to x5000). because the gain scaling is 15.625 mv/db (because of the cascaded stages), the minimum value of v g is actually increased by 6 +15.625 mv, or about 94 mv, to ?156 mv, so the risk of saturation in q1 is reduced. the emitter circuit of q1 is somewhat inductive (due to its finite f t and base resistance). consequently, the effective value of r2 increases with frequency. this results in an increase in the stabilized output amplitude at high frequencies, but for the addition of c3, determined experimentally to be 15 pf for the 2n3904 for maximum response flatness. alternatively, a faster transistor can be used here to reduce hf peaking. figure 38 shows the ac response at the stabilized output level of about 1.3 rms. figure 39 demonstrates the output stabilization for the sine wave inputs of 1 mv rms to 1 v rms at frequencies of 100 khz, 1 mhz, and 10 mhz. 3db 00538-036 figure 38. ac response at the stabilized output level of 1.3 v rms

ad600/ad602 rev. f | page 24 of 32 figure 51 shows the circuit for the sequential control scheme. r6 to r9 with r16 provide offsets of 42.14 db between the individual amplifiers to ensure smooth transitions between the gain of each successive x-amp, with the sequence of gain increase being u1a, then u1b, and then u2a. the adjustable attenuator provided by r3 + r17 and the 100 input resistance of u1a, as well as the fixed 6 db attenuation provided by r2 and the input resistance of u1b, are included both to set v log to read 0 db when v in is 3.16 mv rms and to center the 100 db range between 10 v rms and 1 v rms input. r5 and c3 provide a 3 db noise bandwidth of 30 khz. r12 to r15 change the scaling from 625 mv/decade at the control inputs to 1 v/decade at the output. at the same time, r12 to r15 center the dynamic range at 60 db, which occurs if the v g of u1b is equal to 0. these arrangements ensure that the v log still fits within the 6 v supplies. r14 7.32k ? r15 5.11k ? +6v dec r13 866 ? c1hi a1cm a1op vpos c1lo a1hi a1lo gat1 vneg a2op a2cm c2hi gat2 a2lo a2hi c2lo +6v dec ?6v dec ?6v dec nc nc c5 22f +6v dec r11 56.2k ? r10 3.16k ? u3c u3a 1/4 ad713 c2 0.1f nc = no connect r6 3.4k ? r8 294 ? +6v c1hi a1cm a1op vpos c1lo a1hi a1lo gat1 vneg a2op a2cm c2hi gat2 a2lo a2hi c2lo c4 2f c1 0.1f c3 0.001f r4 133k ? r5 5.36k ? 133k? r2 100? r1 c6 4.7f +316.2mv 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 u4 ad636 fb fb +6v ?6v +6v dec ?6v dec 0.1f 0.1f power supply decoupling network u3b 1/4 ad713 1 2 3 16 15 14 4 5 6 7 8 13 12 11 10 9 ref a1 a2 + ? v out +5v + ? u2 ad600 dec ?5v dec 1/4 ad713 v log r7 1k? r16 287? r9 1k? r17 115? r3 200? 0db adjust 1 2 3 16 15 14 4 5 6 7 8 13 12 11 10 9 ref input a1 a2 + ? + ? u1 ad600 r12 1k? 00538-049 v in ?v s c av db buf out buf in nc +v s com r l i out nc nc nc figure 51. 120 db dynamic range rms responding circuit optimized for snr

ad600/ad602 rev. f | page 26 of 32 for the next 40 db of control range, the gain of u1a remains fixed at its maximum value of 41.07 db and only the gain of u1b is varied, while that of u2a remains at its minimum value of ?1.07 db. in this interval, the fixed output noise of u1a is amplified by the increasing gain of u1b, and the snr progressively decreases. once u1b reaches its maximum gain of 41.07 db, its output also becomes a gain-independent noise source; this noise is presented to u2a. as the control voltage is further increased, the gains of both u1a and u1b remain fixed at their maximum value of 41.07 db, and the snr continues to decrease. figure 56 clearly shows this because the maximum snr of 90 db is extended for the first 40 db of input signal before it starts to roll off. 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. the precise values of the ad600s maximum and minimum gain (not 0 db and +40 db but ?1.07 db and +41.07 db) explain the rather odd values of the offset values that are used. the optimization of the output snr is of obvious value in agc systems. however, in applications where these circuits are considered for their wide range logarithmic measurement capabilities, the inevitable degradation of the snr at high gains need not seriously impair their utility. in fact, the bandwidth of the circuit shown in figure 47 was specifically chosen to improve measurement accuracy by altering the shape of the log error curve at low signal levels (see figure 53 ).
