The AD8312 is a complete, low cost subsystem for the measurement of RF signals in the frequency range of 50 MHz to 3.5 GHz. It has a typical dynamic range of 45 dB and is intended for use in a wide variety of cellular handsets and other wireless devices. It provides a wider dynamic range and better accuracy than possible using discrete diode detectors. In particular, its temperature stability is excellent over the full operating range of ?40?C to +85?C.Its high sensitivity allows measurement at low power levels, thus reducing the amount of power that needs to be coupled to the detector. It is essentially a voltage-responding device, with a typical signal range of 1.25 mV to 224 mV rms or ?45 dBm to 0 dBm, referencing 50 ?.For convenience, the signal is internally ac-coupled, using a 5 pF capacitor to a load of 3 k? in shunt with 1.3 pF. This high-pass coupling, with a corner at approximately 16 MHz, determines the lowest operating frequency. Therefore, the source may be dc grounded.The AD8312 output, VOUT, increases from close to ground to about 1.2 V because the input signal level increases from 1.25 mV to 224 mV. A capacitor may be connected between the VOUT and CFLT pins when it is desirable to increase the time interval over which averaging of the input waveform occurs.The AD8312 is available in a 6-ball, 1.0 mm ? 1.5 mm, wafer-level chip scale package and consumes 4.2 mA from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply.Applications Cellular handsets (GSM, CDMA, WCDMA) RSSI and TSSI for wireless terminal devices Transmitter power measurement

The AD8318 is a demodulating logarithmic amplifier, capable of accurately converting an RF input signal to a corresponding decibel-scaled output voltage. It employs the progressive compression technique over a cascaded amplifier chain, each stage of which is equipped with a detector cell. The device is used in measurement or controller mode. The AD8318 maintains accurate log conformance for signals of 1 MHz to 6 GHz and provides useful operation to 8 GHz. The input range is typically 60 dB (re: 50 ?) with error less than ?1 dB. The AD8318 has a 10 ns response time that enables RF burst detection to beyond 45 MHz. The device provides unprecedented logarithmic intercept stability vs. ambient temperature conditions. A 2 mV/?C slope temperature sensor output is also provided for additional system monitoring. A single supply of 5 V is required. Current consumption is typically 68 mA. Power consumption decreases to <1.5 mW when the device is disabled.?The AD8318 can be configured to provide a control voltage to a VGA, such as a power amplifier or a measurement output, from Pin VOUT. Because the output can be used for controller applications, wideband noise is minimal.In this mode, the setpoint control voltage is applied to VSET. The feedback loop through an RF amplifier is closed via VOUT, the output of which regulates the amplifier output to a magnitude corresponding to VSET. The AD8318 provides 0 V to 4.9 V output capability at the VOUT pin, suitable for controller applications. As a measurement device, Pin VOUT is externally connected to VSET to produce an output voltage, VOUT, which is a decreasing linear-in-dB function of the RF input signal amplitude.The logarithmic slope is nominally ?25 mV/dB but can be adjusted by scaling the feedback voltage from VOUT to the VSET interface. The intercept is 20 dBm (re: 50 ?, CW input) using the INHI input. These parameters are very stable against supply and temperature variations.The AD8318 is fabricated on a SiGe bipolar IC process and is available in a 4 mm ? 4 mm, 16-lead LFCSP for the operating temperature range of ?40?C to +85?C.Applications RF transmitter PA setpoint control and level monitoring RSSI measurement in base stations, WLAN, WiMAX, and radars

The AD8337 is a low noise, single-ended, linear-in-dB, general-purpose variable gain amplifier (VGA) usable at frequencies from dc to 100 MHz; the ?3 dB bandwidth is 280 MHz. Excellent bandwidth uniformity across the entire gain range and low output-referred noise makes the AD8337 ideal for gain trim applications and for driving high speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).Excellent dc characteristics combined with high speed make the AD8337 particularly suited for industrial ultrasound, PET scanners, and video applications. Dual-supply operation enables gain control of negative-going pulses such as generated by photodiodes or photomultiplier tubes.The AD8337 uses the popular and versatile X-AMP? architecture, exclusively from Analog Devices, Inc., with a gain range of 24 dB. The gain control interface provides precise linear-in-dB scaling of 19.7 dB/V, referenced to VCOM.The AD8337 includes an uncommitted operational current-feedback preamplifier (PrA) that operates in inverting or noninverting configurations. Using external resistors, the device can be configured for gains of 6 dB or greater. The AD8337 is characterized by a noninverting PrA gain of 2? using two external 100 ? resistors. The attenuator has a range of 24 dB, and the output amplifier has a fixed gain of 8? (18.06 dB). The lowest nominal gain range is 0 dB to 24 dB and can be shifted up or down by adjusting the preamp gain. Multiple AD8337s can be connected in series for larger gain ranges, and for interstage filtering to suppress noise and distortion, and for nulling offset voltages.The operating temperature range is ?40?C to +85?C, and it is available in an 8-lead, 3 mm ? 3 mm LFCSP.Applications Gain trim PET scanners High performance AGC systems I/Q signal processing Video Industrial and medical ultrasound Radar receivers

The AD8338 is a variable gain amplifier (VGA) for applicationsthat require a fully differential signal path, low power, low noise,and a well-defined gain over frequency. Although the inputs aredifferential, the device can also be driven with a single-endedsource if required.The basic gain function is linear-in-dB and is controlled by thevoltage applied to Pin GAIN. The nominal gain range spansfrom 0 dB to 80 dB for control voltages between 0.1 V to 1.1 Vwith a slope of 12.5 mV/dB. The nominal gain range can beshifted up or down via direct access to Pin INPD and Pin INMD,the current inputs of the VGA. For example, driving the INPDand INMD pins with 50 ? resistors shifts the gain range up by20 dB, that is, 20 dB to 100 dB, and lowers the input referrednoise of the device to 1.5 nV/?Hz. Additionally, the gain slopecan be inverted via logic Pin MODE.The AD8338 includes additional circuit blocks to enable inputoffset correction and automatic gain control (AGC). DC offsetvoltages are removed by the offset correction circuit, whichbehaves like a high-pass filter whose corner is set with an externalcapacitor. The AGC function varies the gain of the AD8338 tomaintain a constant rms output voltage. An externally appliedvoltage to Pin VAGC with respect to the voltage at Pin VREFsets the output rms amplitude. A capacitor from Pin DETO toground sets the response time of the AGC circuit.The AD8338 offers additional versatility by providing access tothe internal summing nodes of the VGA core and the outputamplifiers. With the addition of a few external passive components,users can customize the gain, bandwidth, input impedance, andnoise profile of the device to fit their application.The AD8338 uses a single-supply voltage of 3.0 V to 5.0 V andis very power efficient, consuming as little as 3 mA quiescentcurrent at mid gain. The AD8338 is available in a 3 mm ? 3 mm,RoHS-compliant, 16-lead LFCSP and is specified over theindustrial temperature range of ?40?C to +85?C.APPLICATIONS Front end for inductive telemetry systems Ultrasonic signal receivers Signal compression for driving an ADC AGC amplifiers

The AD8339 is a quad I/Q demodulator configured to be driven by a low noise preamplifier with differential outputs. It is optimized for the LNA in the AD8332 / AD8334 / AD8335 family of VGAs. The part consists of four identical I/Q demodulators with a 4? local oscillator (LO) input that divides this signal and generates the necessary 0? and 90? phases of the internal LO that drive the mixers. The four I/Q demodulators can be used independently of each other (assuming that a common LO is acceptable) because each has a separate RF input.Continuous wave (CW) analog beamforming (ABF) and I/Q demodulation are combined in a single 40-lead ultracompact chip scale device, making the AD8339 particularly applicable in high density ultrasound scanners. In an ABF system, time domain coherency is achieved following the appropriate phase alignment and summation of multiple receiver channels. A reset pin synchronizes multiple ICs to start each LO divider in the same quadrant. Sixteen programmable 22.5? phase increments are available for each channel. For example, if Channel 1 is used as a reference and Channel 2 has an I/Q phase lead of 45?, then the user can phase align Channel 2 with Channel 1 by choosing the correct code.The mixer outputs are in current form for convenient summation. The independent I and Q mixer output currents are summed and converted to a voltage by a low noise, high dynamic range, current-to-voltage (I-V) transimpedance amplifier, such as the AD8021?or the AD829. Following the current summation, the combined signal is applied to a high resolution analog-to-digital converter (ADC), such as the AD7665?(16-bit, 570 kSPS).An SPI-compatible serial interface port is provided to easily program the phase of each channel; the interface allows daisy chaining by shifting the data through each chip from SDI to SDO. The SPI also allows for power-down of each individual channel and the complete chip. During power-down, the serial interface remains active so that the device can be programmed again.The dynamic range is typically 160 dB/Hz at the I and Q outputs. The AD8339 is available in a 6 mm ? 6 mm, 40-lead LFCSP and is specified over the industrial temperature range of ?40?C to +85?C.APPLICATIONS Medical imaging (CW ultrasound beamforming) Phased array systems Radar Adaptive antennas Communication receivers

The AD8341 vector modulator performs arbitrary amplitudeand phase modulation of an RF signal. Because the RF signalpath is linear, the original modulation is preserved. This part canbe used as a general-purpose RF modulator, a variable attenuator/phase shifter, or a remodulator. The amplitude can be controlledfrom a maximum of ?4.5 dB to less than ?34.5 dB, and the phasecan be shifted continuously over the entire 360? range. For maximumgain, the AD8341 delivers an OP1dB of 8.5 dBm, an OIP3of 17.5 dBm, and an output noise floor of ?150.5 dBm/Hz,independent of phase. It operates over a frequency range of1.5 GHz to 2.4 GHz.The baseband inputs in Cartesian I and Q format control theamplitude and phase modulation imposed on the RF inputsignal. Both I and Q inputs are dc-coupled with a ?500 mVdifferential full-scale range. The maximum modulationbandwidth is 230 MHz, which can be reduced by adding externalcapacitors to limit the noise bandwidth on the control lines.Both the RF inputs and outputs can be used differentially orsingle-ended and must be ac-coupled. The RF input and outputimpedances are nominally 50 ? over the operating frequencyrange. The DSOP pin allows the output stage to be disabledquickly in order to protect subsequent stages from overdrive.The AD8341 operates off supply voltages from 4.75 V to 5.25 Vwhile consuming approximately 125 mA.The AD8341 is fabricated on Analog Devices? proprietary, highperformance 25 GHz SOI complementary bipolar IC process.

The AD8361 is a mean-responding power detector for use inhigh frequency receiver and transmitter signal chains, up to2.5 GHz. It is very easy to apply. It requires a single supply onlybetween 2.7 V and 5.5 V, a power supply decoupling capacitor,and an input coupling capacitor in most applications. Theoutput is a linear-responding dc voltage with a conversion gainof 7.5 V/V rms. An external filter capacitor can be added toincrease the averaging time constant.The AD8361 is intended for true power measurement of simpleand complex waveforms. The device is particularly useful formeasuring high crest-factor (high peak-to-rms ratio) signals,such as CDMA and W-CDMA.The AD8361 has three operating modes to accommodate avariety of analog-to-digital converter requirements: Ground reference mode, in which the origin is zero. Internal reference mode, which offsets the output 350 mV above ground. Supply reference mode, which offsets the output to VS/7.5.The AD8361 is specified for operation from ?40?C to +85?Cand is available in 8-lead MSOP and 6-lead SOT-23 packages. Itis fabricated on a proprietary high fT silicon bipolar process.

The AD8364 is a true rms, responding, dual-channel RF powermeasurement subsystem for the precise measurement and controlof signal power. The flexibility of the AD8364 allows communicationssystems, such as RF power amplifiers and radio transceiverAGC circuits, to be monitored and controlled with ease. Operatingon a single 5 V supply, each channel is fully specified for operationup to 2.7 GHz over a dynamic range of 60 dB. The AD8364provides accurately scaled, independent, rms outputs of both RFmeasurement channels. Difference output ports, which measurethe difference between the two channels, are also available. Theon-chip channel matching makes the rms channel differenceoutputs extremely stable with temperature and process variations.The device also includes a useful temperature sensor with anaccurately scaled voltage proportional to temperature, specifiedover the device operating temperature range. The AD8364 canbe used with input signals having rms values from ?55 dBm to+5 dBm referred to 50 ? and large crest factors with noaccuracy degradation. Integrated in the AD8364 are two matched AD8362 channels(see the AD8362 data sheet for more information) with improvedtemperature performance and reduced log conformance ripple.Enhancements include improved temperature performance andreduced log-conformance ripple compared to the AD8362.

The AD8368 is a variable gain amplifier (VGA) with analog linear-in-dB gain control that can be used from low frequencies to 800 MHz. Its excellent gain range, conformance, and flatness are attributed to the Analog Devices, Inc. X-AMP? architecture, an innovative technique for implementing high performance variable gain control.The gain range of ?12 dB to +22 dB is scaled accurately to 37.5 dB/V with excellent conformance error. The AD8368 has a 3 dB bandwidth of 800 MHz that is nominally independent of gain setting. At 140 MHz, the OIP3 is 33 dBm at maximum gain. The output noise floor is ?143 dBm/Hz, which corresponds to a 9.5 dB noise figure at maximum gain. The single-ended input and output impedances are nominally 50 ?.The gain of the AD8368 can be configured to be an increasing or decreasing function of the gain control voltage depending on whether the MODE pin is pulled to the positive supply or to ground, respectively. When MODE is pulled high, the AD8368 operates as a typical VGA with increasing gain.By connecting MODE to ground and using the on-board rms detector, the AD8368 can be configured as a complete automatic gain control (AGC) system with RSSI. The output power is accurately leveled to the internal default setpoint of 63 mV rms (?11 dBm referenced to 50 ?), independent of the waveform crest factor. Because the uncommitted detector input is available at DETI, the AGC loop can level the signal at the AD8368 output or at any other point in the signal chain over a maximum input power range of 34 dB. Furthermore, the setpoint level can be raised by dividing down the output signal before applying it to the detector.The AD8368 operates from a supply voltage of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and consumes 60 mA of current. It can be fully powered down to <3 mA by grounding the ENBL pin. The AD8368 is fabricated using the Analog Devices proprietary SiGe SOI complementary bipolar IC process. It is available in a 24-lead LFCSP and operates over the industrial temperature range of ?40?C to +85?C.

The AD8372 is a dual, digitally controlled, variable gainamplifier (VGA) that provides precise gain control, high IP3,and low noise figure. The excellent distortion performance andmoderate signal bandwidth make the AD8372 a suitable gain control device for a variety of multichannel receiverapplications.For wide input dynamic range applications, the AD8372provides a broad 41 dB gain range. The gain is programmedthrough a bidirectional 4-pin serial interface. The serial interface consists of a clock, latch, data input, and data output linesfor each channel. The AD8372 provides the ability to set the transconductance of the output stage using a single external resistor. The RXT1 and RXT2 pins provide a band gap derived stable reference voltage of 1.56 V. Typically 2.0 k? shunt resistors to ground are used toset the maximum gain to a nominal value of 31 dB. The currentsetting resistors can be adjusted to manipulate the gain anddistortion performance of each channel. This is a flexible feature in applications where it is desirable to trade off distortion performance for lower power consumption.The AD8372 is powered on by applying the appropriate logiclevel to the ENB1, ENB2 pins. When powered down, the AD8372consumes less than 2.6 mA and offers excellent input-to-outputisolation. The gain setting is preserved when powered down.Fabricated on an Analog Devices, Inc., high frequency BiCMOS process, the AD8372 provides precise gain adjustment capabilities with good distortion performance.
