The AD736 is a low power, precision, monolithic true rms-to-dc converter. It is laser trimmed to provide a maximum error of ?0.3 mV ? 0.3% of reading with sine wave inputs. Furthermore, it maintains high accuracy while measuring a wide range of input waveforms, including variable duty-cycle pulses and triac (phase)-controlled sine waves. The low cost and small size of this converter make it suitable for upgrading the performance of non-rms precision rectifiers in many applications. Compared to these circuits, the AD736 offers higher accuracy at an equal or lower cost.The AD736 can compute the rms value of both ac and dc input voltages. It can also be operated as an ac-coupled device by adding one external capacitor. In this mode, the AD736 can resolve input signal levels of 100 ?V rms or less, despite variations in temperature or supply voltage. High accuracy is also maintained for input waveforms with crest factors of 1 to 3. In addition, crest factors as high as 5 can be measured (introducing only 2.5% additional error) at the 200 mV full-scale input level.The AD736 has its own output buffer amplifier, thereby pro-viding a great deal of design flexibility. Requiring only 200 ?A of power supply current, the AD736 is optimized for use in portable multimeters and other battery-powered applications.The AD736 allows the choice of two signal input terminals: a high impedance FET input (1012 ?) that directly interfaces with High-Z input attenuators and a low impedance input (8 k?) that allows the measurement of 300 mV input levels while operating from the minimum power supply voltage of +2.8 V, ?3.2 V. The two inputs can be used either single ended or differentially.The AD736 has a 1% reading error bandwidth that exceeds 10 kHz for the input amplitudes from 20 mV rms to 200 mV rms while consuming only 1 mW.The AD736 is available in four performance grades. The AD736J and AD736K grades are rated over the 0?C to +70?C and ?20?C to +85?C commercial temperature ranges.

Either can be used for analog ordigital video signals and for high speed data transmission.The AD8129/AD8130 are differential-to-single-ended amplifiers with extremely high CMRR at high frequency. Therefore, they canalso be effectively used as high speed instrumentation amps or for converting differential signals to single-ended signals.

The AD8225 is an instrumentation amplifier with fixed gain of 5 that sets new standards of performance.The superior CMRR of the AD8225 enables rejection of high frequency common mode voltage (80 dB Min @10 kHz).As a result,higher ambient levels of noise from utility lines,industrial equipment and other radiating sources,are rejected. Extended CMV range enables the AD8225 to extract low-level differential signals in the presence of high common-mode dc voltage levels even at low supply voltages.

The AD8304 is a monolithic logarithmic detector optimized for the measurement of low frequency signal power in fiber optic systems. It uses an advanced translinear technique to provide an exceptionally large dynamic range in a versatile and easily used form. Its wide measurement range and accuracy are achieved using proprietary design techniques and precise laser trimming. In most applications only a single positive supply, VP, of 5 V will be required, but 3.0 V to 5.5 V can be used, and certain applications benefit from the added use of a negative supply, VN. When using low supply voltages, the log slope is readily altered to fit the available span. The low quiescent current and chip disable features facilitate use in battery-operated applications.The AD8304 is available in a 14-lead TSSOP package and specified for operation from -40?C to +85?C.

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.
