GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADL5336 consists of a pair of variable gain amplifiers
(VGAs) designed for cascaded IF applications. The amplifiers
have linear-in-dB gain control and operate from low frequencies to
1 GHz. Their excellent gain conformance over the control range
and flatness over frequency are due to Analog Devices, Inc.,
patented X-AMP® architecture, an innovative technique for
implementing high performance variable gain control.
Each VGA has 24 dB of gain control range. Their maximum gain
can be independently programmable over a 6 dB range via the
SPI. The VGAs can be cascaded to provide a total range of 48 dB.
When connected to a 50 Ω source through a 1:4 balun, the gain
is 6 dB higher. The second VGA has an SPI programmable input
switch that selects one of two external inputs.
When driven from a 200 Ω source or from a 50 Ω source through
a 1:4 balun, the noise figure (NF) for the composite amplifier is
6.8 dB at maximum gain. The output of each VGA can drive
100 Ω loads to 5 V p-p maximum.
Each VGA has an independent square law detector for autonomous,
automatic gain control (AGC) operation. Each detector setpoint
can be programmed independently through the SPI from −24 dBV
to −3 dBV in 3 dB steps. When both VGAs are arranged in AGC
mode and are programmed to the same setpoint, the composite NF
increases to 9 dB when backed off by 18 dB from maximum gain.
The ADL5336 operates from a 5 V supply and consumes a typical
supply current of 80 mA. When disabled, it consumes 4 mA. It is
fabricated in an advanced silicon-germanium BiCMOS process and
is available in a 32-lead exposed paddle LFCSP package. Performance
is specified over a −40°C to +85°C temperature range.

ADL5336
THEORY OF OPERATION
The weighted sum of the different tap points is fed into the
programmable gain stage. The programmable gain stage achieves
its different gain settings by changing the feedback network of
the amplifier.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ADL5336 contains two differential VGAs, each with a
programmable, internally connected, square law detector. VGA2
includes an input select switch that allows the user to choose
between two sets of differential inputs.
The input attenuator and gm stages provide analog gain control
of 24 dB, whereas the programmable gain amplifier sets the
maximum gain of each VGA.
The signal path of each VGA, shown in Figure 59 and
Figure 60, consists of a variable input attenuator followed by
a programmable gain amplifier (PGA).
Table 4. VGA Gain Range
The input attenuator is built from an 18-section resistor ladder,
providing 1.34 dB of attenuation at each successive tap point.
The resistor ladder acts as a linear input attenuator, in addition
to providing an accurate 200 Ω input impedance. The variable
transconductance (gm) stages are used to select the attenuated
signal from the appropriate tap point along the ladder and feed
this signal to the fixed gain amplifier. To realize a continuous
gain control function from discrete tap points, the gain interpolator
creates a weighted sum of signals appearing on adjacent tap points
by carefully controlling the variable gm stages.

GAIN CONTROL INTERFACE
AGC OPERATION
The ADL5336 has a linear-in-dB gain control interface that can
operate in either a gain-up mode or gain-down mode. In the
gain-up mode, with the MODE pin pulled high, the gain increases
with increasing gain voltages. In the gain-down mode, with the
MODE pin pulled low, the gain decreases with increasing gain
voltages. In both modes of operation, the gain control slope is
maintained at +37.5 dB/V or −38 dB/V (depending on mode
selection) over temperature, supply, and process as VGAIN varies
from 100 mV to 900 mV. To form an AGC loop with the on-board
detector around the VGA, the MODE pin has to be pulled low.
The internally connected square law detectors are connected to
the outputs of the VGAs through a programmable attenuator.
The detector compares the output of the attenuator to an
internal reference of 63 mV rms. The AGC loop is closed by
connecting the DTO1/DTO2 pins to the GAIN1/GAIN2 pins,
and having the MODE pin pulled low, configuring the VGAs
for a negative gain slope.
Each VGA has 24 dB of gain range that can be shifted as the
maximum gain is programmed.
The gain functions for MODE pulled high and low are given
respectively by
GainHIGH (dB) = 37.5 × VGAIN − 14
If the amplifier is operated in VGA mode or the detector is not
otherwise being used, the setpoint should be programmed to
maximum attenuation so that the VGA output does not overdrive
the input to the detector, adversely affecting both the detector
and VGA output.

If the attenuator is programmed to pass the full VGA output,
the AGC forces the output of the VGA to 63 mV rms, as long
as the gain required is within the gain range of the VGA. If the
attenuator is programmed to attenuate the VGA output by 21 dB
(Setpoint Word 111) and the AGC loop is closed, the AGC
function forces the VGA output to 707 mV rms. If the gain
required to achieve the programmed target output level is out of
the VGA range, the GAINx pin rails to either VPOS/2 or GND.

INPUT AND OUTPUT IMPEDANCES
The ADL5336 offers differential broadband, 200 Ω input
impedance. The output of each VGA is a low impedance buffer
with negative feedback within the programmable gain amplifier.
The negative feedback reduces the output impedance at low
frequencies, but the output impedance increases with increasing
frequency above 300 MHz.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
BASIC CONNECTIONS
INPUT SIGNAL PATH
The basic connections for a typical ADL5336 application are
shown in Figure 63.
The ADL5336 has three input signal paths, two of which inputs
go to VGA2 via an internal switch, and the other input goes to
VGA1. Each of the three pairs of input pins (INP1/INM1,
IP2A/IM2A, and IP2B/IM2B) has a differential input impedance of
200 Ω. To obtain maximum power transfer, the driving source
impedance also needs to be 200 Ω. On the evaluation board,
this is achieved via a 4:1 impedance ratio balun. The evaluation
board schematic is shown in Figure 70. For more information
on the input signal paths, refer to the Input Signal Path section.
The input common-mode voltage sits at roughly VPOS/2 for
both VGAs, except on VGA2; the nonselected input of VGA2
has an input common-mode voltage that sits at roughly ground.
SUPPLY DECOUPLING
A nominal supply voltage of 5.0 V should be applied to the supply
pins. The supply voltage should be between the limits of 4.5 V
and 5.5 V. All of the supply pins must be decoupled to ground
with at least one low inductance, surface-mount ceramic capacitor
of 0.1 µF. Place these decoupling capacitors as close as possible
to the ADL5336 device. The ADL5336 has an analog supply and
a digital supply. Take care to separate the two supplies with a
large surface-mount inductor of 33 µH, and each supply must
then be decoupled separately to their respective grounds through a
10 µF capacitor. The ADL5336 also has two separate grounds: an
analog ground and a digital ground. Again, a large surface-mount
inductor of 33 µH should be used to separate the grounds.

There are two output signal paths on the ADL5336; one signal
path per VGA. The output of VGA1 can be ac-coupled into either
of the inputs of VGA2, which cascades the two VGAs, or ac-coupled
into a 200 Ω termination impedance. VGA1 is designed to drive a
200 Ω differential load, whereas VGA2 is designed to drive a 100 Ω
differential load. On the evaluation board, a 100 Ω differential
impedance is presented to the output of VGA2. This is achieve
via a 1:1 balun and a resistive matching network. For more
information on the evaluation board, see the evaluation board
schematic in Figure 70. The output common-mode voltage on
both VGAs sits at roughly VPOS/2.

ADL5336
DETECTOR OUTPUT AND GAIN PIN
MODE AND ENABLE CONNECTIONS
The ADL5336 has a pair of detector squaring cells. Each squaring
cell has a VGA output applied to its input. This is shown Figure 1
and Figure 62. These on-board detector squaring cells are used to
achieve an AGC function with the VGAs. Each of the squared
output signals is compared to a reference signal and the difference
is then output in a current-mode signal. The DTO1 pin is the
detector squaring cell output that taps off of the output VGA1,
and the DTO2 pin is the detector squaring cell output that taps
off of the output of VGA2. By shorting the DTO1 and GAIN1
pins together and putting a capacitor to ground on the DTO1/
GAIN1 node, the AGC function can be achieved using VGA1.
The same connections can be done to DTO2 and GAIN2 to
achieve the AGC function using VGA2. The MODE pin must
be pulled low for the AGC function. For more information on
the detector squaring cells and the AGC function, refer to the
AGC Operation section. For information concerning the capacitor
value used, refer to the Theory of Operation section.
The ADL5336 can have both a positive and negative gain slope.
This function is controlled by the MODE pin. When the MODE
is pulled high, it puts each VGA into traditional VGA mode, where
the gain slope is positive. When the MODE pin is pulled to
ground, both VGAs have a negative gain slope, which is needed
to obtain an AGC function with either VGA. The MODE
threshold voltage levels are: VMODE > 3 V for the positive gain
slope and VMODE < 2 V for the negative gain slope.
COMMON-MODE BYPASSING
Decouple the two common-mode pins, VCM1 (Pin 1) and VCM2
(Pin 24), of the ADL5336 using low inductance, surface-mount
ceramic capacitors. The evaluation board has 0.1 µF capacitor
values for each of the common-mode pins (see Figure 70).
Pulling the ENBL pin high enables the part and allows for normal
operation. If the ENBL pin is pulled low, then the ADL5336 powers
down and only draws approximately 4 mA of supply current.
ERROR VECTOR MAGNITUDE (EVM)
EVM is a measure used to quantify the performance of a digital
radio transmitter or receiver by measuring the fidelity of the digital
signal transmitted or received. Various imperfections in the link,
such as magnitude and phase imbalance, noise, and distortion,
cause the constellation points to deviate from their ideal locations.
In general, as signal power increases, the distortion components
increase. A typical receiver exhibits the three following distinct
EVM limitations vs. the received input signal power:
•
SERIAL PORT CONNECTIONS
The SPI port of the ADL5336 writes data into the device and
reads data out of it. The SPI port controls maximum VGA gain
levels, output setpoint levels, and VGA2 input selection. It is
recommended to put low-pass RC filtering on the SPI lines to
filter out any high frequency glitches if reading and writing to the
SPI port becomes problematic. Capacitors C26 through C29,
shown in Figure 70, can be populated, along with replacing the
standard 0 Ω jumper resistors (R9 to R12) to make an
appropriate low-pass RC filter network on each SPI line.
•
•
Rev. B | Page 21 of 32
At large enough signal levels, where the distortion
components due to the harmonic nonlinearities in the
device are falling in-band, EVM degrades as signal levels
increase.
At medium signal levels, where the signal chain behaves in
a linear manner and the signal is well above any notable noise
contributions, EVM has a tendency to reach an optimal level
determined dominantly by either the quadrature accuracy
and I/Q gain match of the signal chain or the precision of
the test equipment.
As signal levels decrease, such that noise is a major
contributor, EVM performance vs. the signal level exhibits
a decibel-for-decibel degradation with decreasing signal
level. At these lower signal levels, where noise is the dominant
limitation, decibel EVM is directly proportional to the SNR.

EFFECT OF CAGC ON EVM
AGC INSENSITIVITY TO MODULATION TYPE
The choice of CAGC is a compromise of averaging time constant,
response time, and carrier leakage. If CAGC is selected to be too
small to speed up the response time, the AGC loop could start
tracking and leveling any amplitude envelope and corrupt the
constellation. The AGC loop bandwidth (BW) is given by the
equation
Given that CAGC is chosen correctly for the symbol rate of the
modulated signal and carrier frequency, EVM should not degrade
much with different modulation types. The four different
modulation types, and how EVM changes with each, are shown in
Figure 65. There is an approximately 4 dB spread across the curves.
All modulated signals were set to 4.5 Msym/sec using a pulse
shaping filter and an alpha of 0.35. The frequency used was
140 MHz. CAGC = 0.1 µF and output setpoints for both VGAs were
250 mV rms. Both VGAs were set to maximum gain codes of 11.
where RAGC is the on-chip equivalent resistance of the loop.
By increasing CAGC (which decreases the loop BW), EVM can be
improved because the signal is outside of the AGC loop BW,
and therefore, the AGC no longer levels the amplitude envelope
of the signal. Figure 64 illustrates this behavior with three different
AGC capacitor values while the ADL5336 VGAs are cascaded.
There is a drastic degradation of EVM when the smaller capacitor
values are used. This example uses a 16 QAM modulated signal
at 4.5 Msym/sec using a pulse shaping filter and an alpha of
0.35. The frequency used was 140 MHz and output setpoints for
both VGAs were 250 mV rms. Both VGAs were set to maximum
gain codes of 11.

EFFECT OF SETPOINT ON EVM
CASCADED VGA/AGC PERFORMANCE
While in AGC mode, the EVM can degrade depending on the
output setpoint each VGA is set to. There is a strong relationship
between the output setpoint of VGA2 and EVM performance
while the output setpoint of VGA1 is held constant. Conversely,
the EVM does not change much while the output setpoint of the
VGA2 is held constant and the output setpoint of VGA1 is
changed. This behavior can be seen in Figure 66 where several
different setpoints of both VGAs were tested. This example uses
a 16 QAM modulated signal at 4.5 Msym/sec using a pulse
shaping filter and an alpha of 0.35.The frequency used was 140
MHz and CAGC = 0.1 μF. Both VGAs were set to maximum gain
codes of 11.
The ADL5336 is designed for easy cascading of the two VGAs.
Cascading VGAs decreases the overall noise figure by keeping
as much gain as possible before the final gain stage/noise source. A
single X-AMP has constant output referred noise. For an 8 dB
NF amplifier, with 36 dB maximum gain, in a 200 Ω matched
system, output referred noise VN, RTO = 144 nV/√Hz. RTO, the
noise contribution from the source, is the constant source noise
multiplied by the gain (as the gain is reduced, the noise contribution
from the source decreases). Measuring noise figure as 20 × log10
(total noise/noise from source), the dB-for-dB degradation in
NF typical of this architecture can be seen.

When VGA1 and VGA2 are cascaded and operating in AGC
mode, setpoint programming affects dynamic range. The noise
measured at the output of VGA1 is relatively constant across
gain, which is a feature common to X-AMP VGAs. However,
measured at the output of VGA2, the noise contribution from
VGA2 is constant, but the noise contribution from VGA1 depends
on the gain of VGA2. For a given overall gain (VGA1 and VGA2),
the gain partitioning between VGA1 and VGA2 controls total
RTO noise and distortion.

To illustrate, consider the case where both VGAs are programmed

or 353 mV rms. Gain and signal levels can also be looked at
when the setpoint of VGA1 is programmed to 011, 101, and

When the gain is partitioned into two VGAs, consider 18 dB

18 nV/√Hz, including the source noise, and 16.5 nV/√Hz,
excluding the source noise. At maximum gain, the total RTO
noise is 145 nV/√Hz. As overall gain is decreased, the gain of
VGA2 is decreased first. When the gain of VGA2 is decreased
by 6 dB, the noise contributions from the source and VGA1
both decrease by 6 dB for an overall RTO noise of the system
that falls to 74 nV/√Hz.

Data Sheet
In linear terms, the noise figure of the cascaded amplifiers can
be given by
NFCAS = NFVGA1 + (NFVGA2 − 1)/GVGA1
Because both VGAs are X-AMPs, the noise figure of each VGA
degrades dB-for-dB as the gain of each VGA decreases. This is
due to the attenuation ladder on the input that attenuates the
signal before the signal is gained up. If only the gain of the second
VGA is changing, the cascaded noise figure does not change
appreciably because the noise figure of the second VGA is being
divided by the constant gain of the first VGA. When the gain of
VGA2 drops to the minimum and the input signal level is still
decreasing, VGA1 takes over and its gain starts to change. The
cascaded noise figure increases dB-for-dB while the gain of VGA1
decreases.
Figure 68 shows how the OIP3 changes while input power is
varied in AGC mode, which consequently changes the analog
gains of the VGAs. The setpoint of VGA2 is fixed to 100 (or
250 mV rms), and the setpoint of VGA1 is changed from 001
(88 mV rms) to 100 (250 mV rms), and finally, to 111
(707 mV rms).

where P3_VGA1 and P3_VGA2 are the third-order intercept points of
each VGA in watts. Thus, when the overall IP3 is the largest
(distortion is the smallest), the gain of VGA2 is at its maximum.
Vice-versa, when the gain of VGA2 is at its minimum, the
overall IP3 is the smallest, and distortion is at its maximum.
OIP3 (dBV)
For each VGA, total RTO noise increases at higher maximumgain settings; therefore, the overall combination of maximum
gain should be minimized while still satisfying all system
requirements with adequate margin.
09550-076
Linearity limits how high the setpoint of VGA1 for a given
system can be programmed. For two equal sinusoidal tones,
353 mV rms corresponds to 1.4 V p-p, whereas 707 mV rms
corresponds to 2.8 V p-p. For a 1.4 V p-p composite output,
IMD3 is approximately −65 dBc; however, for a 2.8 V p-p
composite output, IMD3 is theoretically 12 dB worse at −53 dBc.
When starting from a very small input power, such that neither
VGA has reached their respective setpoints, and the analog gain
of both VGAs is forced to its maximum, the cascaded OIP3 is at
its maximum, while the cascaded noise figure is at its minimum.
As the input power is increased, each VGA keeps its gain at
maximum until its respective setpoint is reached, at which point
the gain of the VGA (whose setpoint has been reached) decreases
to accomodate the increaced input power and thus changes the
cascaded OIP3 and noise figure.
OIP3 (dBm re: 100Ω)
As the setpoint of VGA1 increases, the total output noise decreases.

Function
Power supply and ground decoupling. Nominal supply
decoupling consists of 0.1 µF capacitor to ground.
C3, C4, C21, T1
VGA1 input interface. The balun T1 has a 4:1 impedance ratio that
transforms a single-ended signal in a 50 Ω system into a
differential signal in a 200 Ω system. C3 and C4 provide ac
coupling into VGA1, and C21 provides an ac ground for the balun.
VGA2 input interface. The T4 and T5 baluns have 4:1 impedance
ratios that transform single-ended signals in a 50 Ω system into
differential signals in a 200 Ω system. The user has a choice of
either Input A or Input B, which is set by Bit B6 in the internal
register (see the register map in Table 5). C11, C14, C15, and C23
provide ac coupling into VGA2, and C10 and C24 provide an ac
ground for the baluns. R3, R4, and R13 are left open by default. AC
ground can be achieve by placing 0 Ω jumpers at R3 and R4. A
0 Ω jumper can be installed at R13 to drive Input B of VGA2 single
ended. Note that R4 must be open and R3 must have a 0 Ω
jumper installed.
VGA1 output interface. The T2 balun has a 4:1 impedance ratio
that transforms a differential signal in a 200 Ω system into a
single-ended signal in a 50 Ω system. C8 and C9 provide ac
coupling out of VGA1, and C22 provides an ac ground for the
balun. R14 and R15 can be made 0 Ω and dc-couple the output of
VGA1 into the input of VGA2 in cascading applications.
VGA2 output interface. The transmission line transformer, T3, has
a 1:1 impedance ratio that transforms a differential signal to a
single-ended signal. The 50 Ω impedance is the same on both the
primary and secondary side balun. C19 and C20 provide ac
coupling out of VGA2. R5, R6, R7, and R8 raise the impedance that
the output of VGA2 sees to 100 Ω differential.
Detector 1 interface. R1 serves as a 0 Ω jumper to connect the
integrating capacitor, C12, that is needed when VGA1 is being
used in AGC mode.
Detector 2 interface. R2 serves as a 0 Ω jumper to connect the
integrating capacitor, C13, that is needed when VGA2 is being
used in AGC mode.
Enable interface. The ADL5336 is powered up by applying a logic
high voltage to the ENBL pin. Jumper P3 is connected to VPOS.
MODE interface. The MODE pin must be pulled to a logic high to
be used in VGA mode. If AGC mode is desired, a logic low must be
applied to the MODE pin. The P2 jumper must be connected to
either VPOS (logic high) or ground (logic low).
Serial control interface. The digital interface sets the VGA1
setpoint, VGA2 setpoint, VGA2 input selection, VGA1 maximum
gain, and the VGA2 maximum gain of the device using the serial
interface lines CLK, LE, DATA, and SDO. RC filter networks are
provided on CLK and LE lines to filter the PC signals (possibly on
all the lines). CLK, DATA, SDO, and LE signals can be observed via
SMB connectors for debug purposes.
Analog VGA1 gain control. The range of the GAIN1 pin is from 0 V
to 1 V, creating a gain scaling of 35 mV/dB.
Analog VGA2 gain control. The range of the GAIN2 pin is from 0 V
to 1 V, creating a gain scaling of 35 mV/dB.

EVALUATION BOARD CONTROL SOFTWARE
The ADL5336 evaluation board is controlled through the parallel
port on a PC. The parallel port is programmed via the ADL5336
evaluation software. This software controls the following:
•
•
•
The setpoints of VGA1 and VGA2
The maximum gains of VGA1 and VGA2
The input control switch of VGA2

On VGA2, the user can switch to either Input A or Input B by
selecting the slider switch, VGA 2 Switch.
Because the speed of the parallel port varies from PC to PC, the
Clock Stretch function can be used to change the effective frequency
of the CLK line. The CLK line has a scalar range from 1 to 10;
10 is the fastest speed, and 1 is the slowest.
For information about the register map, see Table 5, Table 6,
Table 7, and Table 8. For information about SPI port timing and
control, see Figure 2 and Figure 3.
After the software is downloaded and installed, start the basic user
interface to program the maximum gains, setpoints, and the input
of VGA2, see Figure 74.
To program the setpoints of each VGA, click on the respective pulldown menu of the desired VGA under RMS Out (mVrms/dBV),
select the desired setpoint, and click Write Bits.
When the user clicks Write Bits, a write operation executes,
immediately followed by a read operation. The updated
information is displayed in the VGA1 Current State and VGA2
Current State fields. The gain displayed does not represent the
analog VGA gain, only the digital maximum gain.

To program the maximum gain of each VGA, click on the respective
pull-down menu of the desired VGA under the VGA 1 Max
Gain (dB)/VGA 2 Max Gain (dB), select the desired maximum
gain, and click Write Bits.
