GENERAL DESCRIPTION

CELLS
The AD8361 is a mean-responding power detector for use in
high frequency receiver and transmitter signal chains, up to
2.5 GHz. It is very easy to apply. It requires a single supply only
between 2.7 V and 5.5 V, a power supply decoupling capacitor,
and an input coupling capacitor in most applications. The
output is a linear-responding dc voltage with a conversion gain
of 7.5 V/V rms. An external filter capacitor can be added to
increase the averaging time constant.

The AD8361 is intended for true power measurement of simple
and complex waveforms. The device is particularly useful for
measuring high crest-factor (high peak-to-rms ratio) signals,
such as CDMA and W-CDMA.

3. Supply reference mode, which offsets the output to VS/7.5.
The AD8361 is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C
and is available in 8-lead MSOP and 6-lead SOT-23 packages. It
is fabricated on a proprietary high fT silicon bipolar process.
