The VCA822 is a dc-coupled, wideband, linear in V/V,
continuously
variable,
voltage-controlled
gain
amplifier. It provides a differential input to
single-ended conversion with a high-impedance gain
control input used to vary the gain down 40dB from
the nominal maximum gain set by the gain resistor
(RG) and feedback resistor (RF).

Gain (dB)
The VCA822 internal architecture consists of two
input buffers and an output current feedback amplifier
stage integrated with a multiplier core to provide a
complete variable gain amplifier (VGA) system that
does not require external buffering. The maximum
gain is set externally with two resistors, providing
flexibility in designs. The maximum gain is intended
to be set between +2V/V and +100V/V. Operating
from ±5V supplies, the gain control voltage for the
VCA822 adjusts the gain linearly in V/V as the control
voltage varies from +1V to –1V. For example, set for
a maximum gain of +10V/V, the VCA822 provides
10V/V, at +1V input, to 0.1V/V at –1V input of gain
control range. The VCA822 offers excellent gain
linearity. For a 20dB maximum gain, and a
gain-control input voltage varying between 0V and
1V, the gain does not deviate by more than ±0.3dB
(maximum at +25°C).

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
For test purposes, the input impedance is set to 50Ω
with a resistor to ground and the output impedance is
set to 50Ω with a series output resistor. Voltage
swings reported in the Electrical Characteristics table
are taken directly at the input and output pins, while
output power (dBm) is at the matched 50Ω load. For
the circuit in Figure 77, the total effective load is
100Ω 1kΩ. Note that for the SO-14 package, there
is a ground pin, GND (pin 11). For the SO-14
package, this pin must be connected to ground
through a 20Ω resistor in order to avoid possible
oscillations of the output stage. In the MSOP-10
package, this pin is internally connected and does not
require such precaution. An X2Y™ capacitor has
been used for power-supply bypassing. The
combination of low inductance, high resonance
frequency, and integration of three capacitors in one
package (two capacitors to ground and one across
the supplies) of this capacitor enables to achieve the
low second-harmonic distortion reported in the
Electrical Characteristics table. More information on
how the VCA822 operates can be found in the
Operating Suggestions section.
WIDEBAND VARIABLE GAIN AMPLIFIER
OPERATION
The VCA822 provides an exceptional combination of
high output power capability with a wideband, greater
than 40dB gain adjust range, linear in V/V variable
gain amplifier. The VCA822 input stage places the
transconductance element between two input buffers,
using the output currents as the forward signal. As
the differential input voltage rises, a signal current is
generated through the gain element. This current is
then mirrored and gained by a factor of two before
reaching the multiplier. The other input of the
multiplier is the voltage gain control pin, VG.
Depending on the voltage present on VG, up to two
times the gain current is provided to the
transimpedance output stage. The transimpedance
output stage is a current-feedback amplifier providing
high output current capability and high slew rate,
1700V/µs. This exceptional full-power performance
comes at the price of a relatively high quiescent
current (36mA), but a low input voltage noise for this
type of architecture (8.2nV/√Hz).
Figure 77 shows the dc-coupled, gain of +10V/V, dual
power-supply circuit used as the basis of the ±5V

FOUR-QUADRANT MULTIPLIER
DIFFERENCE AMPLIFIER
A four-quadrant multiplier can easily be implemented
using the VCA822. By placing a resistor between FB
and VIN, the transfer function depends upon both VIN
and VG, as shown in Equation 1.

Because both inputs of the VCA822 are
high-impedance, a difference amplifier can be
implemented without any major problem. This
implementation is shown in Figure 80. This circuit
provides excellent common-mode rejection ratio
(CMRR) as long as the input is within the CMRR
range of –2.1V to +1.6V. Note that this circuit does
not make use of the gain control pin, VG. Also, it is
recommended to choose RS such that the pole
formed by RS and the parasitic input capacitance
does not limit the bandwidth of the circuit. The
common-mode rejection ratio for this circuit
implemented in a gain of +10V/V for VG = +1V is
shown in Figure 81. Note that because the gain
control voltage is fixed and is normally set to +1V, the
feedback element can be reduced in order to
increase the bandwidth. When reducing the feedback
element make sure that the VCA822 is not limited by
common-mode input voltage, the current flowing
through RG, or any other limitation described in this
data sheet.

Setting R1 to equal RG, the term that depends only on
VIN drops out of the equation, leaving only the term
that depends on both VG and VIN. VOUT then follows

If the application requires frequency shaping (the

This transfer function has one pole, P1 (located at
RGC1), and one zero, Z1 (located at R1C1). When
equalizing an RC load, RL and CL, compensate the
pole added by the load located at RLCL with the zero
Z1. Knowing RL, CL, and RG allows the user to select
C1 as a first step and then calculate R1. Using
RL = 75Ω, CL = 100pF and wanting the VCA822 to
operate at a gain of +2V/V, which gives RF = RG =
1.33kΩ, allows the user to select C1 = 5pF to ensure
a positive value for the resistor R1. With all these
values known, R1 can be calculated to be 170Ω. The
frequency response for both the initial, unequalized
frequency response and the resulting equalized
frequency response are shown in Figure 83.
A differential cable equalizer can easily be
implemented using the VCA822. An example of a
cable equalization for 100 feet of Belden Cable
1694F is illustrated in Figure 85, with the result for
this implementation shown in Figure 84. This
implementation has a maximum error of 0.2dB from

VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED LOW-PASS FILTER
In the circuit of Figure 86, the VCA822 serves as the
variable-gain element of a voltage-controlled
low-pass filter. This section discusses how this
implementation expands the circuit voltage swing
capability over that normally achieved with the
equivalent multiplier implementation. The circuit

The response control results from amplification of the
feedback voltage applied to R2. First, consider the
case where the VCA822 produces G = 1V/V. Then
22
this circuit performs as if the amplifier were replaced
by a short circuit. Visually replacing the amplifier by a
short leaves a simple voltage-feedback amplifier with
a feedback resistor bypassed by a capacitor.
Replacing this gain with a variable gain, G, the pole
can be written as shown in Equation 5:
G
f8 =
2pR2C
(5)
Because the VCA822 is most linear in the midrange,
the median of the adjustable pole should be set at VG
= 0V (see Figure 26, Figure 46, Figure 67, and
Equation 6). Selecting R1 = R2 = 332Ω, and targeting
a median frequency of 10MHz, the capacitance (C) is
24pF. Because the OPA690 was selected for the
circuit of Figure 86, and in order to limit peaking in
the OPA690 frequency response, a capacitor equal to
C was added on the inverting mode to ground. This
architecture has the effect of setting the
high-frequency noise gain of the OPA690 to +2V/V,
ensuring stability and providing flat frequency
response.
-0.8V £ VG £ 0.8V
(6)
Once the median frequency is set, the maximum and
minimum frequencies can be determined by using VG
= –0.8V and VG = +0.8V in the gain equation of
Equation 7. Note that this is a first-order analysis and
does not take into consideration the open-loop gain
limitation of the OPA690.

Computer simulation of circuit performance using
SPICE is often useful when analyzing the
performance of analog circuits and systems. This
principle is particularly true for video and RF amplifier
circuits where parasitic capacitance and inductance
can play a major role in circuit performance. A SPICE
model for the VCA822 is available through the TI web
page. The applications group is also available for
design assistance. The models available from TI
predict typical small-signal ac performance, transient
steps, dc performance, and noise under a wide

Operating the VCA822 optimally for a specific
application requires trade-offs between bandwidth,
input dynamic range and the maximum input voltage,
the maximum gain of operation and gain, output
dynamic range and the maximum input voltage, the
package used, loading, and layout and bypass
recommendations. The Typical Characteristics have
been defined to cover as much ground as possible to
describe the VCA822 operation. There are four
sections in the Typical Characteristics:
• VS = ±5V DC Parameters and VS = ±5V DC and
Power-Supply Parameters, which include dc
operation and the intrinsic limitation of a VCA822
design
• VS = ±5V, AVMAX = +2V/V Gain of +2V/V
Operation
• VS = ±5V, AVMAX = +10V/V Gain of +10V/V
Operation
• VS = ±5V, AVMAX = +100V/V Gain of +100V/V

Where the Typical Characteristics describe the actual
performance that can be achieved by using the
amplifier properly, the following sections describe in
detail the trade-offs needed to achieve this level of
performance.

There are no differences between the packages in

VCA822IDGS (MSOP-10 package) is lower than the
bandwidth for the VCA822ID (SO-14 package). This
difference is true for all gains, but especially true for

with bandwidth, gain, and output voltage range.
In the case of an application that does not make use

the VCA822, the RG resistor must be set such that
the maximum current flowing through the resistance

SBOS343A – SEPTEMBER 2007 – REVISED OCTOBER 2007
As illustrated in Equation 8, once the output dynamic
range and maximum gain are defined, the gain
resistor is set. This gain setting in turn affects the
bandwidth, because in order to achieve the gain (and
with a set gain element), the feedback element of the
output stage amplifier is set as well. Keeping in mind
that the output amplifier of the VCA822 is a
current-feedback amplifier, the larger the feedback
element, the lower the bandwidth as the feedback
resistor is the compensation element.
INPUT VOLTAGE DYNAMIC RANGE
Limiting the discussion to the input voltage only and
ignoring the output voltage and gain, Figure 3
illustrates the tradeoff between the input voltage and
the current flowing through the gain resistor.
As such, for unity-gain or under-attenuated
conditions, the input voltage must be limited to the
CMIR of ±1.6V (3.2VPP) and the current (IRQ) must
flow through the gain resistor, ±2.6mA (5.2mAPP).
This configuration sets a minimum value for RE such
that the gain resistor has to be greater than
Equation 10.

OUTPUT CURRENT AND VOLTAGE
The VCA822 provides output voltage and current
capabilities that are unsurpassed in a low-cost
monolithic VCA. Under no-load conditions at +25°C,
the output voltage typically swings closer than 1V to
either supply rails; the +25°C swing limit is within
1.2V of either rails. Into a 15Ω load (the minimum
tested load), it is tested to deliver more than ±160mA.
The specifications described above, though familiar in
the industry, consider voltage and current limits
separately. In many applications, it is the voltage ×
current, or V-I product, that is more relevant to circuit
operation. Refer to the Output Voltage and Current
Limitations plot (Figure 51) in the Typical
Characteristics. The X- and Y-axes of this graph
show the zero-voltage output current limit and the
zero-current output voltage limit, respectively. The
four quadrants give a more detailed view of the
VCA822 output drive capabilities, noting that the
graph is bounded by a Safe Operating Area of 1W
maximum internal power dissipation. Superimposing
resistor load lines onto the plot shows that the
VCA822 can drive ±2.5V into 25Ω or ±3.5V into 50Ω
without exceeding the output capabilities or the 1W
dissipation limit. A 100Ω load line (the standard test
circuit load) shows the full ±3.9V output swing
capability, as shown in the Typical Characteristics.
The minimum specified output voltage and current
over-temperature are set by worst-case simulations at
the cold temperature extreme. Only at cold startup do
the output current and voltage decrease to the
numbers shown in the Electrical Characteristic tables.
As the output transistors deliver power, the respective
junction temperatures increase, increasing the
available output voltage swing, and increasing the
available output current. In steady-state operation,
the available output voltage and current is always
greater than that temperature shown in the
over-temperature specifications because the output
stage junction temperatures are higher than the
specified operating ambient.
The VCA822 has a input dynamic range limited to
+1.6V and –2.1V. Increasing the input voltage
dynamic range can be done by using an attenuator
network on the input. If the VCA822 is trying to
regulate the amplitude at the output, such as in an
AGC application, the input voltage dynamic range is
directly proportional to Equation 9.
VIN(PP) = RG ´ IRG(PP)
(9)
Values lower than 615.4Ω are gain elements that
result in reduced input range, as the dynamic input
range is limited by the current flowing through the
gain resistor RG (IRG). If the IRG current is limiting the
performance of the circuit, the input stage of the
VCA822 goes into overdrive, resulting in limited
output voltage range. Such IRG-limited overdrive
conditions are shown in Figure 53 for the gain of
+10V/V and Figure 73 for the +100V/V gain.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE DYNAMIC RANGE
With its large output current capability and its wide
output voltage swing of ±3.9V typical on 100Ω load, it
is easy to forget other types of limitations that the
VCA822 can encounter. For these limitations, careful
analysis must be done to avoid input stage limitation,
either voltage or IRG current; also, consider the gain
limitation, as the control pin VG varies, affecting other
aspects of the circuit.
BANDWIDTH
The output stage of the VCA822 is a wideband
current-feedback amplifier. As such, the feedback
resistance is the compensation of the last stage.
Reducing the feedback element and maintaining the
gain constant limits the useful range of IRG, and
therefore reducing the gain adjust range. For a given
gain, reducing the gain element limits the maximum
achievable output voltage swing.

OFFSET ADJUSTMENT
As a result of the internal architecture used on the
VCA822, the output offset voltage originates from the
output stage and from the input stage and multiplier
core. Figure 92 shows how to compensate both
sources of the output offset voltage. Use this
procedure to compensate the output offset voltage:
starting with the output stage compensation, set
VG = –1V to eliminate all offset contribution of the
input stage and multiplier core. Adjust the output
stage offset compensation potentiometer. Finally, set
VG = +1V to the maximum gain and adjust the input
stage and multiplier core potentiometer. This
procedure effectively eliminates all offset contribution
at the maximum gain. Because adjusting the gain
modifies the contribution of the input stage and the
multiplier core, some residual output offset voltage
remains.
This model is formulated in Equation 11 and
Figure 91.

THERMAL ANALYSIS
The VCA822 does not require heatsinking or airflow
in most applications. The maximum desired junction
temperature sets the maximum allowed internal
power dissipation as described in this section. In no
case should the maximum junction temperature be
allowed to exceed +150°C.
Operating junction temperature (TJ) is given by
Equation 12:
TJ = TA + PD ´ qJA
(12)
The total internal power dissipation (PD) is the sum of
quiescent power (PDQ) and additional power
dissipated in the output stage (PDL) to deliver load
power. Quiescent power is simply the specified
no-load supply current times the total supply voltage
across the part. PDL depends on the required output
signal and load; for a grounded resistive load,
however, it is at a maximum when the output is fixed
at a voltage equal to one-half of either supply voltage
(for equal bipolar supplies). Under this worst-case
condition, PDL = VS2/(4 × RL), where RL is the
resistive load.
Note that it is the power in the output stage and not in
the load that determines internal power dissipation.
As a worst-case example, compute the maximum TJ
using a VCA822ID (SO-14 package) in the circuit of
Figure 77 operating at maximum gain and at the
maximum specified ambient temperature of +85°C.
PD = 10V(38mA) + 52/(4 ´ 100W) = 442.5mW
(13)
Maximum TJ = +85°C + (0.449W ´ 80°C/W) = 120.5°C
(14)
This maximum operating junction temperature is well
below most system level targets. Most applications
should be lower because an absolute worst-case
output stage power was assumed in this calculation
of VCC/2, which is beyond the output voltage range for
the VCA822.

BOARD LAYOUT
Achieving
optimum
performance
with
a
high-frequency amplifier such as the VCA822
requires careful attention to printed circuit board
(PCB) layout parasitics and external component
types. Recommendations to optimize performance
include:
a) Minimize parasitic capacitance to any ac ground
for all of the signal I/O pins. This recommendation
includes the ground pin (pin 2). Parasitic capacitance
on the output can cause instability: on both the
inverting input and the noninverting input, it can react
with the source impedance to cause unintentional
band limiting. To reduce unwanted capacitance, a
window around the signal I/O pins should be opened
in all of the ground and power planes around those
pins. Otherwise, ground and power planes should be
unbroken elsewhere on the board. Place a small
series resistance (greater than 25Ω) with the input pin
connected to ground to help decouple package
parasitics.
b) Minimize the distance (less than 0.25”) from the
power-supply
pins
to
high-frequency
0.1µF
decoupling capacitors. At the device pins, the ground
and power plane layout should not be in close
proximity to the signal I/O pins. Avoid narrow power
and ground traces to minimize inductance between
the pins and the decoupling capacitors. The
power-supply connections should always be
decoupled with these capacitors. Larger (2.2µF to
6.8µF) decoupling capacitors, effective at lower
frequencies, should also be used on the main supply
pins. These capacitors may be placed somewhat
farther from the device and may be shared among
several devices in the same area of the PCB.
c) Careful selection and placement of external
components
preserve
the
high-frequency
performance of the VCA822. Resistors should be a
very low reactance type. Surface-mount resistors
work best and allow a tighter overall layout. Metal-film
and carbon composition, axially-leaded resistors can
also provide good high-frequency performance.
Again, keep the leads and PCB trace length as short
as possible. Never use wire-wound type resistors in a
high-frequency application. Because the output pin is
the most sensitive to parasitic capacitance, always
position the series output resistor, if any, as close as
possible to the output pin. Other network
components, such as inverting or non-inverting input
termination resistors, should also be placed close to
the package.
28
d) Connections to other wideband devices on the
board may be made with short direct traces or
through onboard transmission lines. For short
connections, consider the trace and the input to the
next device as a lumped capacitive load. Relatively
wide traces (50mils to 100mils, or 1.27mm to
2.54mm) should be used, preferably with ground and
power planes opened up around them.
e) Socketing a high-speed part like the VCA822 is
not recommended. The additional lead length and
pin-to-pin capacitance introduced by the socket can
create an extremely troublesome parasitic network,
which can make it almost impossible to achieve a
smooth, stable frequency response. Best results are
obtained by soldering the VCA822 onto the board.
INPUT AND ESD PROTECTION
The VCA822 is built using a very high-speed
complementary bipolar process. The internal junction
breakdown voltages are relatively low for these very
small geometry devices. These breakdowns are
reflected in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
All pins on the VCA822 are internally protected from
ESD by means of a pair of back-to-back
reverse-biased diodes to either power supply, as
shown in Figure 94. These diodes begin to conduct
when the pin voltage exceeds either power supply by
about 0.7V. This situation can occur with loss of the
amplifier power supplies while a signal source is still
present. The diodes can typically withstand a
continuous current of 30mA without destruction. To
ensure long-term reliability, however, diode current
should be externally limited to 10mA whenever
possible.
