SL2524
1.3GHz Dual Wideband Logarithmic Amplifier
DS4548 - 2.1 July 1995
The SL2524 is a pin compatible replacement for the
SL2521 and SL2522 series of log amplifiers, and exhibits a
superior stability performance. The amplifier is a successive
detection type which provides linear gain and accurate loga-
rithmic signal compression over a wide bandwidth. The two
stages can be operated independently.
When six stages (three SL2524s) are cascaded the strip
can be used for IFs between 30-650MHz whilst achieving
greater than 65dB dynamic range with a log accuracy of
<±1.0dB. The balanced limited output also offers accurate
phase information with input amplitude.
