AD8332ACPZ-R7

AD8332ACPZ-R7 is Analog Devices’ dual-channel, programmable-gain amplifier (PGA) intended for RF/IF and instrumentation front-ends. Each channel provides a high-speed, low-noise VGA with differential input and output, enabling a wide dynamic range and precise, analog gain control. Gains are set by external control voltages, allowing fast, continuous adjustment to adapt to changing signal levels. The part is housed in the ACPZ package (lead-free, RoHS-compliant) with 28 pins, suitable for compact surface-mount designs. The “-R7” suffix denotes a specific order/packaging variant (e.g., tape/ reel or regional option). Applications include RF receivers, broadband signal chains, communications test equipment, and other systems requiring matched, differential VGA functionality. For exact specifications—gain range, bandwidth, noise figure, linearity, and control interface—refer to the AD8332 datasheet and package drawings.
