250 MHz, and two cascaded AD641s together can provide 58 dB of dynamic range at speeds up to 250 MHz. The AD641 is fully stable and well characterized over either the industrial or The 250 MHz bandwidth and temperature stability make this military temperature ranges. product ideal for high speed signal power measurement in RF/ The AD641 is not a logarithmic building block, but rather a IF systems. ECM/Radar and Communication applications are complete logarithmic solution for compressing and measuring routinely in the 100 MHz–180 MHz range for power measure- wide dynamic range signals. The AD641 is comprised of five ment. The bandwidth and accuracy, as well as dynamic range, stages and each stage has a full wave rectifier, whose current make this part ideal for high speed, wide dynamic range signals. depends on the absolute value of its input voltage.

Industrial output current scaled at 1 mA per decade (50 µA/dB). versions are available in plastic DIP and PLCC; MIL versions Without utilizing the 10× input attenuator, log conformance of are packaged in cerdip. 2.0 dB is maintained over the input range –44 dBm to 0 dBm. The attenuator offers the most flexibility without significantly impacting performance. REV. D Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.
