GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Figure 1. Functional Block Diagram
The ADL5519 is a dual-demodulating logarithmic amplifier,
using the AD8317 core. It has the capability of accurately
converting an RF input signal to a corresponding decibel-scaled
output. The ADL5519 provides accurately scaled, independent,
logarithmic outputs of both RF measurement channels.
Difference output ports, which measure the difference between
the two channels, are also available. The on-chip channel
matching makes the log-amp channel difference outputs
extremely stable with temperature and process variations. The
device also includes a useful temperature sensor with an
accurately scaled voltage proportional to temperature, specified
over the device operating temperature range.
consumption is typically 65 mA, and it decreases to 1 mA when
the device is disabled.
The device is capable of supplying four log-amp measurements
simultaneously. Linear-in-dB measurements are provided at
OUTA and OUTB, with conveniently scaled slopes of -22
mV/dB. The log-amp difference between OUTA and OUTB is
available as differential or single-ended signals at OUTP and
OUTN. An optional voltage applied to VLVL provides a
common mode reference level to offset OUTP and OUTN
above ground. On-chip wide bandwidth output op amps are
connected to accommodate flexible configurations that support
many system solutions.
The ADL5519 maintains accurate log conformance for signals of
1 MHz to 8 GHz and provides useful operation to 10 GHz. The
input dynamic range is typically 50 dB (re: 50 Ω) with error less
than ±1 dB. The ADL5519 has 8/10 ns response time (fall
time/rise time) that enables RF burst detection to a pulse rate of
beyond 50 MHz. The device provides unprecedented logarithmic
intercept stability vs. ambient temperature conditions. A supply of
3.0 V to 5.5 V is required to power the device. Current
The ADL5519 can be easily configured to provide a control
voltage to a power amplifier at any output pin. Since the output
can be used for controller applications, special attention has
been paid to minimize wideband noise
The ADL5519 is fabricated on a SiGe bipolar IC process and is
available in a 5 mm × 5 mm, 32-lead LFCSP package for an
operating temperature range of −40oC to +125oC..
