Overview
The ADL5330ACPZ-REEL7, produced by Analog Devices Inc., is a high-performance, voltage-controlled variable gain amplifier (VGA)/attenuator. This device is designed for applications requiring frequency operation up to 3 GHz. It features a balanced structure in the signal path, which minimizes distortion and reduces the risk of spurious feedforward at low gains and high frequencies. The ADL5330 can operate in both single-ended and differential modes and is suitable for a wide range of RF and IF applications.
