EL4452C

Wideband Variable-Gain Amplifier with Gain of 10

Applications Information Contd

In this circuit the EL4450 not only calculates the

square of the input but also provides the offset

integrator function The product of the two mul-

tiplier inputs adds to the bReference input and

are passed to the output amplifier which

through CF behaves as a pseudo-integrator The

‘‘integrator’’ gain does not pass through zero at

high frequencies but has a zero at 1 (2qCF c 1

kX) This zero is cancelled by the pole caused by

the second capacitor of value CF connected at the

EL4452 bVGAIN input The bReference can be

exchanged for a positive reference by connecting

it to the ground return of the 1 kX resistor at the

FB terminal and grounding REF

As a general consideration the input signal ap-

plied to an EL4452 should be kept below about

250 mV peak for good linearity If the AGC were

designed to produce a 1V peak output the input

range would be 100 mV–250 mV peak when the

EL4452 has a feedback network that establishes a

maximum gain of 10 This is an input range of

only 2 5 1 for precise output regulation Raising

the maximum gain to 25 allows a 40 mV–250 mV

input range with the output still regulated better

than 6 1 Unfortunately the bandwidth will be

reduced Bandwidth can be maintained by adding

a high frequency op-amp cascaded with the out-

put to make up gain beyond the 10 of the

EL4452 current feedback devices being the most

flexible The op-amp’s input should be capacitor

coupled to prevent gained-up offsets from confus-

ing the level detector during AGC control line

variations
