GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD83051 is an inexpensive microminiature logarithmic converter
optimized for determining optical power in fiber optic systems. It uses
an advanced implementation of a classic translinear (junction based)
technique to provide a large dynamic range in a versatile and easily
used form. A single-supply voltage of between 3 V and 12 V is
adequate; dual supplies may optionally be used. The low quiescent
current (typically 5 mA) permits use in battery-operated applications.
The logarithmic intercept (also known as the reference current) is
nominally positioned at 1 nA by the use of the externally generated
current, IREF, of 10 μA, provided by a 200 kΩ resistor connected
between VREF, at 2.5 V, and the reference input, IREF, at 0.5 V. The
intercept can be adjusted over a wide range by varying this resistor.
The AD8305 can also operate in a log ratio mode, with the numerator
current applied to INPT and the denominator current applied to IREF.
The input current, IPD, of 10 nA to 1 mA applied to the INPT pin is the
collector current of an optimally scaled NPN transistor, which converts
this current to a voltage (VBE) with a precise logarithmic relationship. A
A buffer amplifier is provided for driving a substantial load, for use in
raising the basic slope of 10 mV/dB to higher values, as a precision
comparator (threshold detector), or in implementing low-pass filters.
Its rail-to-rail output stage can swing to within 100 mV of the positive
and negative supply rails, and its peak current sourcing capacity is
25 mA.
second such converter is used to handle the reference current (IREF
)
applied to pin IREF. These input nodes are biased slightly above ground
(0.5 V). This is generally acceptable for photodiode applications where
the anode does not need to be grounded. Similarly, this bias voltage is
easily accounted for in generating IREF. The output of the logarithmic
front end is available at Pin VLOG.
It is a fundamental aspect of translinear logarithmic converters that the
small signal bandwidth falls as the current level diminishes, and the
low frequency noise-spectral density increases. At the 10 nA level, the
bandwidth of the AD8305 is about 50 kHz and increases in proportion
to IPD up to a maximum value of about 15 MHz. Using the buffer
amplifier, the increase in noise level at low currents can be addressed by
using it to realize lowpass filters of up to three poles.
The basic logarithmic slope at this output is nominally 200 mV/decade
(10 mV/dB). Thus, a 100 dB range corresponds to an output change of
1 V. When this voltage (or the buffer output) is applied to an ADC that
permits an external reference voltage to be employed, the AD8305
voltage reference output of 2.5 V at Pin VREF can be used to improve
the scaling accuracy. Suitable ADCs include the AD7810 (serial 10-bit),
AD7823 (serial 8-bit), and AD7813 (parallel, 8-bit or 10-bit). Other
values of the logarithmic slope can be provided using a simple external
