GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8432 is a dual-channel, low power, ultralow noise amplifier with selectable gain and active impedance matching. Each channel has a single-ended input, differential output, and integrated input clamps. By pin strapping the gain setting pins, four accurate gains of G = 12.04 dB, 18.06 dB, 21.58 dB, and 24.08 dB (×4, ×8, ×12, and ×16, respectively) are possible. A bandwidth of 200 MHz at G = 12.04 dB makes this amplifier well suited for many high speed applications.
