APPLICATIONS RF transmitter PA setpoint control and level monitoring RSSI measurement in base stations, WLAN, WiMAX, and radars GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD8318 is a demodulating logarithmic amplifier, capable a decreasing linear-in-dB function of the RF input signal of accurately converting an RF input signal to a corresponding amplitude. decibel-scaled output voltage. It employs the progressive The logarithmic slope is nominally 25 mV/dB but can be compression technique over a cascaded amplifier chain, each adjusted by scaling the feedback voltage from VOUT to the stage of which is equipped with a detector cell. The device is VSET interface. The intercept is 20 dBm (referenced to 50 , used in measurement or controller mode. The AD8318 maintains CW input) using the INHI input. These parameters are very accurate log conformance for signals of 1 MHz to 6 GHz and stable against supply and temperature variations. provides useful operation to 8 GHz. The input range is typically The AD8318 is fabricated on a SiGe bipolar IC process and is 60 dB (referenced to 50 ) with error less than 1 dB. The available in a 4 mm 4 mm, 16-lead LFCSP for the operating AD8318 has a 10 ns response time that enables RF burst o o temperature range of 40 C to +85 C. detection to beyond 45 MHz. The device provides unprecedented 2.4 6 logarithmic intercept stability vs. ambient temperature conditions. 2.2 5 A 2 mV/C slope temperature sensor output is also provided for 2.0 4 additional system monitoring. A single supply of 5 V is required. 1.8 3 Current consumption is typically 68 mA.
