Hi group

I am looking for an digital controlled variable gain amplifier with BW
200MHz.

The amplifier had to have min. 256 steps and should be used in an 50R
system therefore impedance match on in- and output are preferred. Max
output power 10-20dBm.

I canīt find any integrated amplifier there match these requirements. My
best choice is AD8368
http://www.analog.com/en/prod/0,,759...8368%2C00.html and then use a
DAC for the digital control.

Have I missed some? Any suggest will be appreciated very much

Thanks in advance



Frank




Use ADL5330 in combination with a log amp. You can control the ADL5330 with
an ADC.

As extra bonus, you achieve a very nice automatic level control.
