Table 10 demonstrates the sensitivity and dynamic range
trade-offs that can be achieved relative to various LNA and
VGA gain settings.
For example, when the VGA is set for the minimum gain voltage,
the TGC path is dominated by VGA noise and achieves the
maximum output SNR. However, as the postamp gain options
are increased, the input-referred noise is reduced and the SNR
is degraded.
If the VGA is set for the maximum gain voltage, the TGC path
is dominated by LNA noise and achieves the lowest input-
referred noise, but with degraded output SNR. The higher the
TGC (LNA + VGA) gain, the lower the output SNR. As the
postamp gain is increased, the input-referred noise is reduced.
At low gains, the VGA should limit the system noise performance
(SNR); at high gains, the noise is defined by the source and the
LNA. The maximum voltage swing is bound by the full-scale
peak-to-peak ADC input voltage (2 V p-p).
Both the LNA and VGA have full-scale limitations within each
section of the TGC path. These limitations are dependent on the
gain setting of each function block and on the voltage applied to
the GAIN+ and GAIN− pins. The LNA has three limitations,
or full-scale settings, that can be applied through the SPI.
LNA: output full scale = 4.4 V p-p differential.
Filter: loss ≈ 1 dB, NBW = 16.67 MHz, GAIN− = 0.8 V.
ADC: 50 MSPS, 73 dB SNR, 2 V p-p full-scale input.
Output dynamic range at minimum VGA gain (VGA dominated).
Output dynamic range at maximum VGA gain (LNA dominated).
Channel noise at maximum VGA gain.

Similarly, the VGA has four postamp gain settings that can be
applied through the SPI. The voltage applied to the GAIN± pins
determines which amplifier (the LNA or VGA) saturates first.
The maximum signal input level that can be applied as a
function of voltage on the GAIN± pins for the selectable gain
options of the SPI is shown in Figure 56 to Figure 58.
