Basic Connection
Figure 45 shows the basic schematic for operating the AD8320.
Because the amplifier operates from a single supply, the input
signal must be ac-coupled using a 0.1 F capacitor. The input
pin has a bias level of about 1.9 V. This bias level is available on
the VREF pin (Pin 18) and can be used to externally bias signals
if dc-coupling is desired. Under all conditions, a 0.1 F decoupling
capacitor must be connected to the VREF pin. If the VREF volt-
age is to be used externally, it should be buffered first.
The VIN pin of the AD8320 (Pin 19) has an input impedance
of 220 . Typically, in video applications, 75
favored. As a result, an external shunt resistance (R1) to ground
of 115
75 . If 50
should be used. Note, to avoid dc loading of the VIN pin, the
ac-coupling capacitor should be placed between the input pin
and the shunt resistor as shown in Figure 45.
On the output side, the VOUT pin also has a dc bias level. In
this case the bias level is midway between the supply voltage and
ground. The output signal must therefore be ac-coupled before
being applied to the load. The dc bias voltage is available on the
VOCM pin (Pin 5) and can be used in dc-coupled applications.
This node must be decoupled to ground using a 0.1 F capaci-
tor. If the VOCM voltage is to be used externally, it should be
buffered.
Since the AD8320 has a dynamic output impedance of 75 , no
external back termination resistor is required. If the output
signal is being evaluated on 50
trum analyzer, a 75
should be used to maintain a properly matched circuit.
Varying the Gain
The gain of the AD8320 can be varied over a range of 36 dB,
from –10 dB to +26 dB, by varying the 8-bit gain setting word.

The timing diagram for AD8320’s serial interface is shown in
Figure 43.
The write cycle to the device is initiated by the falling edge of
DATEN. This is followed by eight clock pulses that clock in the
control word. Because the clock signal is level triggered, data is
effectively clocked on the falling edge of CLK.
After the control word has been clocked in, the DATEN line
goes back high, allowing the gain to be updated (this takes
about 30 ns).
The relationship between gain and control word is given by the
equation:
where code is the decimal equivalent of the gain control word
(0 to 255).
The gain in dB is given by the equation:
The digital interface also contains an asynchronous power-down
mode. The normally high PD line can be pulled low at any time.
This turns off the output signal after 45 ns, and reduces the
quiescent current to between 25 mA and 32 mA (depending
upon the power supply voltage). In this mode, the programmed
gain is maintained.
Clock Line Feedthrough
Clock feedthrough results in a 5 mV p-p signal appearing super-
imposed on the output signal (see Figure 32). If this impinges
upon the dynamic range of the application, the clock signal
should be noncontinuous, i.e., should only be turned on for
eight cycles during programming.
Power Supply and Decoupling
The AD8320 should be powered with a good quality (i.e., low
noise) single supply of between +5 V and +12 V. In order to
achieve an output power level of +18 dBm (6.2 V p-p) into
