The AD8318 is a demodulating logarithmic amplifier, capable a decreasing linear-in-dB function of the RF input signal of accurately converting an RF input signal to a corresponding amplitude. decibel-scaled output voltage. It employs the progressive The logarithmic slope is nominally −25 mV/dB but can be compression technique over a cascaded amplifier chain, each adjusted by scaling the feedback voltage from VOUT to the stage of which is equipped with a detector cell. The device is VSET interface. The intercept is 20 dBm (referenced to 50 Ω, used in measurement or controller mode. The AD8318 CW input) using the INHI input. These parameters are very maintains accurate log conformance for signals of 1 MHz to stable against supply and temperature variations. 6 GHz and provides useful operation to 8 GHz. The input range is typically 60 dB (referenced to 50 Ω) with error less than The AD8318 is fabricated on a SiGe bipolar IC process and is ±1 dB. The AD8318 has a 10 ns response time that enables RF available in a 4 mm × 4 mm, 16-lead LFCSP for the operating burst detection to beyond 45 MHz. The device provides temperature range of –40oC to +85oC. unprecedented logarithmic intercept stability vs. ambient
