Overview
The AD602JR, produced by Analog Devices Inc., is a dual-channel, low noise, wideband variable gain amplifier. This component is optimized for applications requiring precise gain, low noise, and wide bandwidth, particularly in ultrasound imaging systems, but it is also suitable for other high-performance applications such as audio and RF AGC systems.
The AD602JR features a gain range of –10 dB to +30 dB, with an input noise spectral density of 1.4 nV/√Hz. The gain is directly proportional to the control voltage and is accurately calibrated and stable over supply and temperature variations. The amplifier uses a proprietary X-AMP® circuit to achieve its performance objectives.
