At 1 MHz, the attenuation is about −0.2 dB, increasing to −6 dB
at 10 MHz and −28 dB at 100 MHz. Signals less than approximately
1 MHz are not significantly affected.
Figure 49 shows the control voltage vs. the input power at 1 MHz
to the circuit shown in Figure 48; note that the AGC threshold is at
−95 dBm. The output signal level is set to 800 mV p-p by applying
−80 mV to the V

Figure 50 shows how to use both preamplifiers and DSXs to
create a high impedance, differential input-differential output
VGA. This application takes advantage of the differential inputs
to the DSXs. Note that the input is not truly differential in the
sense that the common-mode voltage needs to be at ground to
achieve maximum input signal swing. This has largely to do
with the limited output swing capability of the output drivers of
the preamplifiers; they clip around ±2.2 V due to having to drive
an effective load of about 30 Ω. If a different input common-mode
voltage needs to be accommodated, ac coupling (as in Figure 48)
is recommended. The differential gain range of this circuit runs
from 6 dB to 54 dB, which is 6 dB higher than each individual
channel of the AD604 because the DSX inputs now see twice

a −20 dB attenuator formed between the 453 Ω resistors shown
in Figure 50 and the 50 Ω loads presented by the oscilloscope
plug-in. R1 and R2 are inserted to ensure a nominal load of 500 Ω
at each output. The differential gain of the circuit is set to 20 dB
by applying a control voltage, VGN, of 1 V; the gain scaling is
20 dB/V for a VREF of 2.500 V; the input frequency is 10 MHz
and the differential input amplitude is 100 mV p-p. The resulting
differential output amplitude is 1 V p-p as can be seen on the
scope photo when reading the vertical scale as 200 mV/div.
