AD8318 - Logarithmic Detector/Controller

General Description

The AD8318 is a demodulating logarithmic amplifier, capable of accurately converting an RF input signal to a corresponding decibel-scaled output voltage.

It employs the progressive compression technique over a cascaded amplifier chain, each stage of which is equipped with a detector cell.

Key Features

  • Wide bandwidth: 1 MHz to 8 GHz.
  • High accuracy: ±1.0 dB over 55 dB range (f < 5.8 GHz).
  • Stability over temperature: ±0.5 dB.
  • Low noise measurement/controller output (VOUT).
  • Pulse response time: 10 ns/12 ns (fall/rise).
  • Integrated temperature sensor.
  • Small footprint LFCSP.
  • Power-down feature:.
