ADL5506
VLOG Output Noise
Figure 28 shows the response time when the ENBL pin is pulsed
while having the VPOS pin connect to a 3.0 V supply and an RF
signal applied at RFIN. The sharp pulse that is seen on VLOG
preceding the actual response of the detectors, which happens
approximately 0.5 µs later, is the power-up transient that occurs
in the output stage. The upper voltage limit of these power-up
transients is 2.25 V typical, for a 3.0 V supply. Ensure that these
power-up transients do not overload the circuit that the VLOG
pin drives.
The ADL5506 VLOG output noise is shown in Figure 31 in the
Typical Performance Characteristics section for Capacitor CFLT
= open. Placing capacitance from CFLT to VLOG decreases the
noise spectral density and the integrated noise. The choice of
the CFLT value depends on the requirements pertaining to
integrated noise and noise spectral density at a given frequency.
Also, the value of CFLT directly controls the video bandwidth of
the output, and thus controls the output response time to an RF
pulse (see the VLOG Pulse Response Time section).
Device Handling
VLOG Pulse Response Time
The wafer level chip scale package consists of solder bumps
connected to the active side of the die. The device is lead-free with
95.5% tin, 4.0% silver, and 0.5% copper solder bump composition.
The WLCSP package can be mounted on printed circuit boards
using standard surface-mount assembly techniques; however,
take caution to avoid damaging the die. See the AN-617
Application Note for additional information. WLCSP devices
are bumped die, and exposed die can be sensitive to light
conditions, which can influence specified limits.
The ADL5506 VLOG output response for rise and fall times to a
given RF input pulse is quickest for CFLT = open; that is, the only
capacitance on the CFLT node is the internal capacitor. Adding
off-chip capacitance from the CFLT pin to the VLOG pin decreases
the video bandwidth and slows the output response to an RF
input pulse. See the Filter Capacitor section for an approximate
closed form equation for the VLOG video bandwidth.
