3.5 Changing the Gain
The APA100 EVM is set with a gain of 31.4 dB, but can be adjusted. The front-end has a gain of 4.4 dB (−1.667 V/V), and a back-end gain of 27 dB (−22.4 V/V), for a total of 31.4 dB (37.3 V/V). The back-end gain needs to be kept constant, because it is set by the control-loop feedback system with the TLV2464A, TPA2001D1, and TAS5111. The front-end gain is set by section A of the quad operational amplifier TLV2464A. The front-end gain is set by Equation 1, which is a ratio of feedback to input resistors.
Front−end Gain + * | R4 | (VV) | (1) |
(R5 ) R6) |
The APA100 EVM total gain can then be set by multiplying the front-end and back-end gains, as shown in Equation 2.
Total Gain + 22.4 | R4 | (VV) | (2) |
