AD8317 Data Sheet THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD8317 is a 6-stage demodulating logarithmic amplifier, characteristic to partially compensate for errors due to internal specifically designed for use in RF measurement and power noise. The common pin, COMM, provides a quality low control applications at frequencies up to 10 GHz. A block impedance connection to the printed circuit board (PCB) diagram is shown in Figure 21. Sharing much of its design ground. The package paddle, which is internally connected to the with the AD8318 logarithmic detector/controller, the AD8317 COMM pin, must also be grounded to the PCB to reduce thermal maintains tight intercept variability vs. temperature over a 50 dB impedance from the die to the PCB. range. Additional enhancements over the AD8318, such as a The logarithmic function is approximated in a piecewise reduced RF burst response time of 6 ns to 10 ns, 22 mA supply fashion by six cascaded gain stages. (For a more comprehensive current, and board space requirements of only 2 mm × 3 mm, explanation of the logarithm approximation, see the AD8307 add to the low cost and high performance benefits of the AD8317. data sheet.) The cells have a nominal voltage gain of 9 dB each

Input INHI receives the signal with a low frequency impedance of nominally 500 Ω in ID × log10(VIN/VINTERCEPT) (1) parallel with 0.7 pF.

The ID is the internally set detector current. noise spectral density referred to the input is 1.15 nV/Hz, VIN is the input signal voltage. which is equivalent to a voltage of 118 μV rms in a 10.5 GHz VINTERCEPT is the intercept voltage (that is, when VIN = VINTERCEPT, bandwidth or a noise power of −66 dBm (referenced to 50 Ω). the output voltage would be 0 V, if it were capable of going to 0 V). This noise spectral density sets the lower limit of the dynamic range. However, the low end accuracy of the AD8317 is enhanced by specially shaping the demodulating transfer Rev.
