description
The THS7001 (single) and THS7002 (dual) are high-speed programmable-gain amplifiers, ideal for applications
where load impedance can often vary. Each channel on this device consists of a separate low-noise input
preamp and a programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The preamp is a voltage-feedback amplifier offering a low
1.7-nV/√Hz
voltage noise with a 100-MHz (−3 dB) bandwidth. The output pin of the preamp is accessible so that
filters can be easily added to the amplifier.
The 3-bit digitally-controlled PGA provides a −22-dB to 20-dB attenuation/gain range with a 6-dB step
resolution. In addition, the PGA provides both high and low output clamp protection to prevent the output signal
from swinging outside the common-mode input range of an analog-to-digital converter. The PGA provides a
wide 70-MHz (−3 dB) bandwidth, which remains relatively constant over the entire gain/attenuation range.
Independent shutdown control is also provided for power conservation and multiplexing. These devices operate
over a wide ±4.5-V to ±16-V supply voltage range.
