GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADL5205 is a digitally controlled, wide bandwidth, variable gain dual amplifier (DGA) that provides precise gain control, high output third-order intercept (OIP3) and a near constant noise figure for the first 12 dB of attenuation. The excellent OIP3 performance of 48.5 dBm (at 200 MHz, 5 V, high performance mode, and maximum gain) makes the ADL5205 an excellent gain control device for a variety of receiver applications. For wide input dynamic range applications, the ADL5205 provides a broad 35 dB gain range with a 1 dB step size. The gain is adjustable through multiple gain control and interface options: parallel, SPI, or gain step up/down control. The two channels of the ADL5205 can be powered up independently by applying the appropriate logic level to the PWUPA and PWUPB pins. The quiescent current of the ADL5205 is typically 175 mA for high performance mode and 135 mA for Rev. 0 low power mode. When disabled, the ADL5205 consumes only 14 mA and offers excellent input to output isolation. The gain setting is preserved when the device is disabled. Fabricated on the Analog Devices, Inc., high speed, silicon germanium (SiGe) complementary BiCMOS process, the ADL5205 provides precise gain adjustment capabilities with good distortion performance. The ADL5205 amplifier comes in a compact, thermally enhanced, 6 mm × 6 mm, 40-lead LFCSP package and operates over the temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. Note that throughout this data sheet, multifunction pins, such as CSA/A3, are referred to by the entire pin name or by a single function of the pin, for example, CSA, when only that function is relevant.

Thermal Resistance Package Type 40-Lead LFCSP θJA 47.7 θJB 24.4 θJC 15.4 Unit °C/W JUNCTION TO BOARD THERMAL IMPEDANCE The junction to board thermal impedance (θJB) is the thermal impedance from the die to the leads of the ADL5205. The value given in Table 4 is based on the standard printed circuit board (PCB) described in the JESD51-7 standard for thermal testing of surface-mount components. PCB size and complexity (number of layers) affect θJB; more layers tend to reduce thermal impedance slightly. If the PCB temperature is known, use the junction to board thermal impedance to calculate the die temperature (also known as the junction temperature) to ensure that the die temperature does not exceed the specified limit of 135°C. For example, if the PCB temperature is 85°C, the die temperature is given by TJ = TB + (PDISS × θJB) The worst case power dissipation for the ADL5205 is 919 mW (5.25 V × 175 mA, see Table 1). Therefore, TJ is TJ = 85°C + (0.919 W × 24.4°C/W) = 107.4°C ESD CAUTION Rev. 0 | Page 6 of 31 Data Sheet ADL5205 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ADL5205 TOP VIEW (Not to Scale) 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 VOUTA– VOUTA+ DNC VPOS DNC DNC VPOS DNC VOUTB+ VOUTB– NOTES 1.

Channel Isolation vs. Frequency for Channel A and Channel B Rev. 0 | Page 16 of 31 Data Sheet ADL5205 THEORY OF OPERATION The ADL5205 is a dual differential, digitally controlled variable gain amplifier (DGA). Each DGA consists of a 100 Ω differential input, digitally controlled passive attenuator followed by a digitally controlled gain amplifier. The input, digitally controlled, binary weighted attenuator has a range of 0 dB to 23 dB with 1 dB steps, and the amplifier has a range of 14 dB to 26 dB, also with 1 dB steps. On-chip logic circuitry maps the gain codes such that the first 12 dB of gain reduction from the maximum gain are accomplished using the digitally controlled gain amplifier, only. This topology allows the first 12 dB of gain reduction to be accompanied by typically 1.2 dB of total noise figure degradation (at 200 MHz). The OIP3 also remains nearly constant over the first 12 dB of gain range. The noise figure for the DGA increases by 1 dB for each decibel of attenuation within the remaining 23 dB attenuation range. The differential output impedance of the amplifier is 10 Ω. The output common-mode voltages of the ADL5205 are controlled by the voltages on the VCMA and VCMB pins. Each of these pins is connected internally through 5 kΩ resistors to the VPOS pin as well as to the exposed pad (EP). As a result, the commonmode output voltage at each channel is preset internally to half of the supply voltage at VPOS. Alternatively, the VCMA and VCMB pins can be connected to the common-mode voltage reference output from an ADC, and thus the common-mode levels between the two devices can be matched without requiring any external components. SIDE A SPI WITH FA, PARALLEL WITH LATCH, UP/DOWN LOGIC 100Ω 0dB TO 23dB VINA– The ADL5205 features three different gain control interfaces: serial, parallel, or up/down control, determined by the combination of the MODE1 and MODE0 pins. For details on controlling the gain in each of these modes, see the Digital Interface Overview section. In general, the gain step size is 1 dB; however, larger step sizes can be programmed as described in the Digital Interface Overview section. Each amplifier has a maximum gain of +26 dB (Gain Code 000000) to −9 dB (Gain Code 100011 to Gain Code 111111). Using the performance mode (PM) pin, users can lower the power consumption of the device with a slight degradation in linearity performance. COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE The ADL5205 is flexible in terms of input/output coupling. It can be ac-coupled or dc-coupled at the inputs and/or outputs within the specified output common-mode levels of 1.2 V to 2.7 V, depending on the supply voltage. If no external output common-mode voltage is applied, the input and output commonmode voltages are set internally to half of the supply voltage.

Basic Structure 13488-054 BASIC STRUCTURE ADL5205 Data Sheet APPLICATIONS INFORMATION To enable each channel of the ADL5205, pull the PWUPA pin or the PWUPB pin high (2.0 V ≤ PWUPA/PWUPB ≤ 3.3 V). A logic low on the PWUPA pin or the PWUPB pin sets the channel to sleep mode, reducing the current consumption to approximately 7 mA per channel. The VCMA and the VCMB pins are the reference inputs for the output common-mode voltage of each channel, and they must be decoupled with 0.1 μF capacitors. BASIC CONNECTIONS Figure 51 shows the basic connections for operating the ADL5205. Apply a voltage of 3.3 V or 5 V to the VPOS pins. Decouple each supply pin with at least one low inductance, surface-mount ceramic capacitor of 0.1 μF placed as close to the device as possible. The differential outputs have a dc common-mode voltage that is approximately half of the supply; therefore, decouple these outputs using 0.1 μF capacitors to the balanced load. The balanced differential inputs have the same dc common-mode voltage as the outputs; the inputs are decoupled using 0.1 μF capacitors as well. The digital pins, mode control pins, associated SPI pins, and parallel gain control pins, (PM, PWUPA, and PWUPB) operatefrom a 3.3 V voltage.

By simultaneously pulling the CSA and CSB pins low, the same data can be written to both SPI registers. DIGITAL INTERFACE OVERVIEW The three digital control interface options of the ADL5205 DGA are, respectively, Parallel control interface Serial peripheral interface Gain step up/down interface SPI fast attack mode is controlled by the FA_A or FA_B pins. A logic high on the FA_A pin or FA_B pin results in an attenuation selected by the FA1 and the FA0 bits in the SPI register. The digital control interface selection is made via two digital pins, MODE1 and MODE0, as shown in Table 6. Additionally, there are three power mode control pins, PM, PWUPA, and PWUPB. PM selects between the high performance and low power modes, whereas PWUPA and PWUPB enable (powerup) the corresponding channel. The gain in each channel is controlled by a 6-bit binary code (A5 to A0 and B5 to B0). Table 7. SPI 2-Bit Attenuation Step Size Truth Table FA1 0 0 1 1 The same physical pins are shared between three interfaces, resulting in as many as three different functions per digital pin (see Table 5). The up/down interface uses two digital pins to control the gain. When the UPDN_DAT_x pin is low, the gain for the corresponding channel is increased by a clock pulse on the UPDN_CLK_x pin (rising and falling edges). When the UPDN_DAT_x pin is high, the corresponding gain is decreased by a clock pulse on the UPDN_CLK_x pin. Reset is detected when the rising edge of UPDN_CLK_x latches one polarity on UPDN_DAT_x, and the falling edge latches the opposite polarity. Reset results in the minimum gain code of 111111. Interface Parallel Serial (SPI) Up/down Up/down Parallel Digital Interface The parallel digital interface uses six gain control bits and a latch pin per amplifier. The latch pin controls whether the input data latch is transparent (logic low) or latched (logic high). In transparent mode, the gain changes as the input gain control bits change. In latched mode, the gain is determined by the latched gain setting and is not changed by changing the input gain control bits. UPDN_DAT_x UPDN_CLK_x UP The step size is selectable by the GS1 and GS0 pins. The default step size is 1 dB. The gain code count rails at the top and bottom of the control range. The SPI uses three pins (SDIO, SCLK, and CSA or CSB). The SPI data register consists of two bytes: six gain control bits (D0 to D5), two attenuation step size address bits (FA0 and FA1), one read/write bit (R/W), and seven don't care bits (X), as shown in Figure 53. Table 8. Step Size Control Truth Table GS1 0 0 1 1 The SPI uses a bidirectional pin (SDIO) for writing to the SPI register and for reading from the SPI register. To write to the SPI register, pull the CSA or the CSB pin low and apply 16 clock pulses to shift the 16 bits into the corresponding SPI register, MSB first. Individual channel SPI registers can be selected by pulling CSA LSB D0 RESET Figure 52.

During the read cycle, data changes at each rising edge of SCLK, and can be latched using the falling edge of SCLK. There is no continual read operation. A logic high (1) must be written into the R/W bit to enable the subsequent read cycle. The sequence for reading back is shown in Figure 54 to Figure 57, showing the operation of the input and output functions of the SDIO pin. The actual waveforms during the readback process are shown in Figure 57 to Figure 59. SDIO is enabled as an output only during the read cycle in Figure 57.

The main role of the filter after the amplifier is for attenuating the broadband noise and out-of-band harmonics generated by the amplifier. Component values for a 500 MHz acquisition bandwidth are listed in Table 10. Without this filter, the out-ofband noise and distortion components alias back into the Nyquist band, resulting in a reduction of signal-to-noise ratio. The design of the filter preceding the ADL5205 amplifier is more specific to the system rejection requirements for the acquisition system, NOISE FIGURE (dB) 35 Rev. 0 | Page 21 of 31 30 REGULAR ATTENUATORAMPLIFIER CASCADE 25 20 15 ADL5205 AT 200 MHz 5V HP 11dB IMPROVEMENT 10 1.2dB INCREASE 5 0 –10 –5 0 5 10 15 20 GAIN (dB) Figure 61.

A 3.3 V low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator supplies the logic circuits when the device is running on a 5 V supply. On-board baluns convert single-ended input signals to differential form for input to the device and convert the differential output signals of the device to single-ended form for output. To bypass these baluns, rearrange the 0 Ω resistors on the board as described in the Signal Inputs and Outputs section. CHANNEL B INPUTS The ADL5205-EVALZ provides all of the support circuitry required to operate the ADL5205 in its various modes and configurations. Figure 62 shows the typical bench setup used to evaluate the performance of the ADL5205. POWER SUPPLY INTERFACE The ADL5205-EVALZ evaluation board requires either a 3.3 V or 5 V power supply, and an optional negative supply to pull down the output common-mode dc level to match the ADCs that require a lower common-mode level. If an external 3.3 V supply is used, connect it to the test point labeled 3P3V. If a 5 V supply is used, connect it to the test point labeled 5V. Similarly, if an external negative supply is used, connect it to the VNEG test point shown in Figure 62.

Power Supply Selection Jumpers Jumper S1 S2 S3 Function VCC selection VDD selection VDD LDO enable Supply Selection VCC = 3.3 V VCC = 5 V 3P3V 5V 3P3V VREG AGND 5V SIGNAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS Signal inputs and outputs for each channel come through a pair of SMA connectors. In the default configuration, on-board baluns convert single-ended signals from VINA− and VINB− into differential signals to the device. Similarly, differential output signals from the device are converted through the on-board baluns into single-ended form to the VOUTA+ and VOUTB+ connectors. MANUAL CONTROLS Three sets of switches provide the manual control of the states of the device. Their functions are listed in Table 12. When the individual switch is in the up position, the signal controlled by the switch is set to logic high. Table 12. Switch Block Functions Switch Block SW1 Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 Position 4 Position 5 Position 6 Position 7 Position 8 SW2 Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 SW3 Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 Position 4 Position 5 Position 6 Position 7 Position 8 Function Channel B control (eight positions) PWUPB LATCHB B0 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 Mode control (three positions) Power mode (PM) MODE0 (M0) MODE1 (M1) Channel A control (eight positions) A5 A4 A3 A2 A1 A0 LATCHA PWUPA Device Pin No. 17 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 6 5 4 3 2 1 40 39 38 37 34 Mode Switches When the power mode (PM) switch is up (logic high or Logic 1), the device is in low power mode. When the switch is down (logic low or Logic 0), the device is in high performance mode. MODE1 and MODE0 (labeled M1 and M0 on the PCB) select one of three interface modes for the device (parallel, serial/SPI, or up/down mode), as shown in Table 13. There is no functional difference between the mode switch settings of 10 and 11. Table 13. Mode Switch Settings MODE1, MODE0 00 01 10 11 Interface Parallel Serial (SPI) Up/down Up/down Channel Control Switches The channel control switches include PWUPA, LATCHA, and A5 to A0 for Channel A and PWUPB, LATCHB, and B5 to B0 for Channel B. PWUPA and PWUPB are the up positions (logic high) that turn on their respective channels. When PM is set to logic low (high performance mode), the total current consumption increases by approximately 81 mA (that is, one half of the difference between the enabled current of 175 mA and the disabled current of 14 mA) when each channel is enabled. When the PM is set to logic high (low power mode), the total current consumption increases by approximately 61 mA (that is, one half of the difference between the enabled current of 135 mA and the disabled current of 14 mA) when each channel is enabled. The LATCHA and LATCHB switches are used with the gain control input bits (A5 to A0 and B5 to B0) to control the corresponding channel voltage gain. When these switches are in the down (logic low) position, the gain changes with the position of the gain control switches. When these switches are in the up position, the last gain setting is latched into the corresponding channel of the ADL5205, and the gain stops changing. For Bits[A5:A0] and Bits[B5:B0], the following equation determines the voltage gain of each channel of the ADL5205: Gain = 26 − [A5:A0] dB where [A5:A0] is the value representing the binary string formed by Bits[A5:A0] from 0 to 35. When this value exceeds 35, the gain is set to minimum (−9 dB). The voltage gain for Channel B is changed by Bits[B5:B0] in the same manner. Rev. 0 | Page 23 of 31 ADL5205 Data Sheet PARALLEL INTERFACE SERIAL INTERFACE The functions of Parallel Interface Connector P3 are identical to those of the switches in the switch block. The pinout of the Parallel Interface Connector P3 is listed in Table 14. Logic levels on the P3 pins override the corresponding switch setting. As a result, the switches for PWUPA and PWUPB must be in the up position when using the parallel interface to control the device. When the mode switches are in the 01 position, the ADL5205 operates in the serial/SPI mode. The pins that are relevant in the serial/SPI mode are brought out to Serial Interface Connector P2. The pinout for Serial Interface Connector P2 is listed in Table 15. Note that only four pins (plus AGND) are used for the SPI, and they include the following: Table 14. Parallel Interface Pinout (P3) • Pin Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 Function PWUPB AGND LATCHB AGND B0 AGND B1 AGND B2 AGND B3 AGND B4 AGND B5 AGND VDD AGND Power mode (PM) AGND MODE0 AGND MODE1 AGND A5 AGND A4 AGND A3 AGND A2 AGND A1 AGND A0 AGND LATCHA AGND PWUPA AGND • • CSA and CSB are the active low serial port enable pins for Channel A and Channel B, respectively. SDIO is the serial data input and output line. SDIO is a bidirectional pin. SCLK is the serial clock pin. For detailed operations and timing diagrams of the serial port interface, see the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) section. These signals operate at 3.3 V logic levels. The CSA and CSB lines can be tied together to program both channels at the same time. Table 15.

The SDP interface board plugs into the P1 connector on the ADL5205-EVALZ evaluation board and provides all the digital handshaking to communicate with the USB. Use the SDP with the ADL5205 control software on the PC. To control the ADL5205 through the USB to SDP interface, nine jumpers must be inserted from the odd numbered pins (Pin 1, Pin 3, Pin 5, Pin 7, Pin 9, Pin 11, Pin 13, Pin 15, and Pin 17) to the even numbered pins (Pin 2, Pin 4, Pin 6, Pin 8, Pin 10, Pin 12, Pin 14, Pin 16, and Pin 18 on the P2 connector, as shown in Figure 63. No jumper is needed for Pin 19 and Pin 20. SDP INTERFACE BOARD A dynamically loadable library (DLL), sdpApi1.dll, provides the software interface to the actual hardware. The control program, using the USB interface, can communicate with the hardware through interface functions in this DLL. EVALUATION BOARD CONTROL SOFTWARE Two separate programs are available for use with a Windowsbased PC to control the ADL5205 through the USB to SDP interface: a command line control program and a program with a graphical user interface. COMMAND LINE CONTROL PROGRAM The adl5205_regw_x_x.exe, where x_x represents the revision of the program, is a command line program that takes the 8-bit value represented by the command line argument and writes into the control register of the ADL5205. The syntax for the program is shown in Figure 64, which contains a sample run of the command line control program, showing the help listing. GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI) PROGRAM SDP JUMPERS USB 13488-059 The adl5205_ctrlsw_y_y.exe, where y_y represents the revision of the program, is a GUI program that allows the control of the ADL5205 functions through an on-screen display. The ADL5205 gain and modes of operation can be controlled interactively using icons on the computer screen. A typical display from the GUI control is shown in Figure 65, and the corresponding control functions are listed in Table 16. 13488-165 Figure 63. SDP Interface Board Figure 64.
