VG range is set to be from 0V to +2V relative to pin potential (ground pin). In single supply operation, this ground pin is tied to "virtual" half supply. LMH6502 gain control is linear in d B for large portion of the total gain control range. This makes the device suitable for AGC circuits among other applications. For linear gain con- trol applications, see the LMH6503 datasheet. The LMH6502 is available in the SOIC-14 and TSSOP-14 pack- age.
