GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD83241 is a low cost amplifier designed for coaxial line
driving. The features and specifications make the AD8324
ideally suited for DOCSIS 2.0 and Euro-DOCSIS applications.
The gain of the AD8324 is digitally controlled. An 8-bit serial
word determines the desired output gain over a 59 dB range,
resulting in gain changes of 1 dB/LSB.
The AD8324 accepts a differential or single-ended input signal.
The output is specified for driving a 75 ⦠load through a 1:1
transformer.
Distortion performance of â54 dBc is achieved with an output
level up to 61 dBmV at 65 MHz bandwidth.
This device has a sleep mode function that reduces the quies-
cent current to 30 µA and a full power-down function that
reduces power-down current to 2.5 mA.
The AD8324 is packaged in a low cost 20-lead LFCSP package
and a 20-lead QSOP package. The AD8324 operates from a
single 3.3 V supply.
