GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8367 is a high-performance 45 dB variable gain amplifier with linear-in-dB gain control for use from low frequencies up to several hundred megahertz. The range, flatness, and accuracy of the gain response are achieved using Analog Devices’ X-AMP® architecture, the most recent in a series of powerful proprietary concepts for variable gain applications, which far surpasses what can be achieved using competing techniques.
