input impedance to simplify its drive requirement.
Gain control is linear in V/V throughout the gain
adjustment range. Maximum gain can be set to be
anywhere between 1V/V to 100V/V or higher. For
linear in dB gain control applications, see LMH6502
datasheet.
The LMH6503 is available in the SOIC-14 and
TSSOP-14 package.
