DESCRIPTION

The AD8321 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.
