Product Summary

The AD8321ARZ-REEL is a low cost digitally controlled variable gain amplifier optimized for coaxial line driving applications such as cable modems that are designed to the DOCSIS (upstream) standard. An 8-bit serial word determines the desired output gain over a 53.4 dB range, resulting in gain changes of 0.75 dB/LSB. The AD8321ARZ-REEL comprises a digitally controlled variable attenuator of 0 dB to –53.4 dB, which is preceded by a low noise, fixed gain buffer and followed by a low distortion high power amplifier. The applications of the AD8321ARZ-REEL include Gain Programmable Line Driver, HFC High Speed Data Modems, Interactive CATV Set-Top Boxes, CATV Plant Test Equipment, General Purpose IF Variable Gain Block.
