This pin selects positive or negative gain slope for gain control. When this pin is tied to VBAT, the gain of the AD8338 increases proportionally with an increase of the voltage on the GAIN pin. When this pin is tied to COMM, the gain decreases with an increase of the voltage on the GAIN pin. 7 GAIN Gain Control Input, 12.5 mV/dB or 80 dB/V. 8 DETO Detector Output Terminal, ±10 µA. If the AGC feature is not used, tie DETO to COMM. 9 FBKM Negative Feedback Node. For more information, see the FBKP, FBKM, OUTP, and OUTM Pins section. 10 OUTM Negative Output. 11 OUTP Positive Output. 12 FBKP Positive Feedback Node. For more information, see the FBKP, FBKM, OUTP, and OUTM Pins section. 13 VAGC Voltage for Automatic Gain Control Circuit. This pin controls the target rms output voltage for the AGC circuit. For more information, see the AGC Circuit, VAGC Pin section. If the AGC feature is not used, tie VAGC to VREF. 14 OFSN Offset Null Terminal. For more information, see the Offset Correction Circuit, OFSN Pin section. If the offset null feature is not used, tie OFSN to ground; otherwise, a capacitor to VREF is used to set the offset null high-pass corner. 15 VBAT Positive Supply Voltage. 16 VREF Internal 1.5 V Voltage Reference.
