GAIN CONTROL INTERFACE

The AD8366 provides two methods of digital gain control:

serial or parallel. When the SENB pin is pulled low, the part

is in parallel gain control mode. In this mode, the two digitally

controlled VGAs can be programmed simultaneously, or one at

a time, depending on the levels at DENA and DENB. If the SENB

pin is pulled high, the part is in serial gain control mode, with

Pin 24, Pin 23, and Pin 22 corresponding to the CS, SDAT, and

SCLK signals, respectively.

The voltage gain of the AD8366 is well approximated by

Gain (dB) = GainCode × 0.253 + 4.5

Note that at several major transitions (15 to 16, 31 to 32, and 47 to

48), the gain changes significantly less (0 dB step) or significantly

more (0.5 dB step) than the desired 0.25 dB step. This is inherent

in the design of the part and is related to the partitioning of the

variable gain block into a fine-gain and a coarse-gain section.
