The recommended operating voltage range for the VCA824IDGSR is 1.65 V to 3.6 V, with a typical operating voltage of 1.8 V.
To properly power down the VCA824IDGSR, ensure that the EN pin is driven low, and the VCC pin is reduced to 0 V. This will put the device in shutdown mode, minimizing power consumption.
The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the VCA824IDGSR without damaging the device is 3.6 V. Exceeding this voltage may cause permanent damage to the device.
The VCA824IDGSR has a gain control pin (GAIN) that can be connected to a voltage source or a digital signal to set the desired gain. The gain setting can be calculated using the formula provided in the datasheet, or by using the Texas Instruments' VCA824IDGSR Gain Calculator tool.
The typical settling time for the VCA824IDGSR is around 10 μs to 20 μs, depending on the gain setting and output load. This settling time is the time it takes for the output voltage to stabilize after a change in the input voltage or gain setting.
