GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8362 is a true rms-responding power detector that has
a 65 dB measurement range. It is intended for use in a variety of
high frequency communication systems and in instrumentation
requiring an accurate response to signal power. It is easy to use,
requiring only a single supply of 5 V and a few capacitors. It can
operate from arbitrarily low frequencies to over 3.8 GHz and
can accept inputs that have rms values from 1 mV to at least
1 V rms, with large crest factors, exceeding the requirements
for accurate measurement of CDMA signals.
The input signal is applied to a resistive ladder attenuator that
comprises the input stage of a variable gain amplifier (VGA).
The 12 tap points are smoothly interpolated using a proprietary
technique to provide a continuously variable attenuator, which
is controlled by a voltage applied to the VSET pin. The resulting
signal is applied to a high performance broadband amplifier. Its
output is measured by an accurate square-law detector cell. The
fluctuating output is then filtered and compared with the output
of an identical squarer, whose input is a fixed dc voltage applied
to the VTGT pin, usually the accurate reference of 1.25 V pro-
vided at the VREF pin.
The difference in the outputs of these squaring cells is integrated
in a high gain error amplifier, generating a voltage at the VOUT
pin with rail-to-rail capabilities. In a controller mode, this low
noise output can be used to vary the gain of a host system’s RF

amplifier, thus balancing the setpoint against the input power.
Optionally, the voltage at VSET can be a replica of the RF signal’s
amplitude modulation, in which case the overall effect is to
remove the modulation component prior to detection and low-
pass filtering. The corner frequency of the averaging filter can
be lowered without limit by adding an external capacitor at the
CLPF pin. The AD8362 can be used to determine the true power
of a high frequency signal having a complex low frequency
modulation envelope, or simply as a low frequency rms volt-
meter. The high-pass corner generated by its offset-nulling
loop can be lowered by a capacitor added on the CHPF pin.
Used as a power measurement device, VOUT is strapped to
VSET. The output is then proportional to the logarithm of the
rms value of the input. In other words, the reading is presented
directly in decibels and is conveniently scaled 1 V per decade,
or 50 mV/dB; other slopes are easily arranged. In controller
modes, the voltage applied to VSET determines the power level
required at the input to null the deviation from the setpoint.
The output buffer can provide high load currents.
The AD8362 has 1.3 mW power consumption when powered
down by a logic high applied to the PWDN pin. It powers up
within about 20 μs to its nominal operating current of 20 mA at
25°C. The AD8362 is supplied in a 16-lead TSSOP for operation
over the temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.

... VGA is operating, and thus on the input signal amplitude. Baseline variations of this sort are a common aspect of all VGAs, but they are more evident in the AD8362 because of the method of its implementation, which causes the offsets to ripple along the gain axis with a period of 6.33 dB. When an exces- sively large value of CHPF is used, the offset correction process can lag the more rapid changes in the VGA’ ...

... A 10% to 90% step response to an input step is also listed. Where the increased response time is unacceptably high, CLPF must be reduced. If the output of the AD8362 is sampled by an ADC, averaging (13) in the digital domain can further reduce the residual noise. ...

... In principle, this doubles the peak crest factor that can be handled by the system. Figure 53 and Figure 54 show the effect of varying VTGT on measurement accuracy when the AD8362 is swept with a series of signals with different crest factors, varying from CW with a crest factor W-CDMA carrier (Test Model 1-64) with a crest factor of 10 ...

... VOUT (4.9 V with power supply). TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION AND REDUCTION OF TRANSFER FUNCTION RIPPLE The transfer function ripple and intercept drift of the AD8362 can be reduced using two techniques detailed in Figure 57. CLPF is reduced from its nominal value. For broadband- modulated input signals, this results in increased noise at the output that is fed back to the VSET pin ...

... C Δ Temperatur e In this example, the drift of the AD8362 from 25°C to 85°C is −2.07 dB and the temperature delta is 60°C, which results in −0.0345 dB/°C drift. This temperature drift in dB/°C is con- verted to mV/°C through multiplication by the logarithmic slope (51 mV/dB at 2350 MHz). The result is −1.76 mV/°C.
