APPLICATION TO:Application to RF transmitter PA setpoint control and level monitoring RSSI measurement in base stations, WLAN, WiMAX, and radars
INSTRUCTIONS:The AD8318 is a demodulating logarithmic amplifier, capable of accurately converting an RF input signal to a corresponding decibel-scaled output voltage
ADVANTAGE:Small footprint LFCSP,Integrated temperature sensor,Fabricated using high speed SiGe process
NOTE:It employs the progressive compression technique over a cascaded amplifier chain, each stage of which is equipped with a detector cell
CONFIGURE: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
