High Speed Variable Gain Amplifiers (VGAs) High frequency variable gain amplifiers (VGAs) must be fully specified not only in terms of traditional op amp ac specifications (bandwidth, slew rate, settling time), but also in terms of communications-specific specifications. The dB-linear gain is controlled linearly by the gate voltage, resulting in a simple and robust VGA.
The control voltage (Vc) range is from 375mV to 1.2V and the stage draws 8.54mA. The gain of the circuit can be seen from the formula below: Voltage gain = 2 a - 1. A digitally controlled amplifier (DCA) is a variable-gain amplifier that is digitally controlled. The VGA's total input-referred noise integrated from 0.1 Hz to 47.2 Hz is 30.8 μV.

Typical ADC full scale input voltage ranges lie between 1 V and 10 V. To achieve the rated precision of the converter, the maximum input signal should be fairly near its full scale voltage.
