GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8319 is a demodulating logarithmic amplifier, capable
of accurately converting an RF input signal to a corresponding
decibel-scaled output. It employs the progressive compression
technique over a cascaded amplifier chain, each stage of which
is equipped with a detector cell. The device can be used in either
measurement or controller modes. The AD8319 maintains
accurate log conformance for signals of 1 MHz to 8 GHz and
provides useful operation to 10 GHz. The input dynamic range
is typically 45 dB (re: 50 Ω) with error less than ±3 dB. The
AD8319 has 6 ns/10 ns (fall time/rise time) response time that
enables RF burst detection to a pulse rate of beyond 50 MHz.
The device provides unprecedented logarithmic intercept stability
vs. ambient temperature conditions. A supply of 3.0 V to 5.5 V
is required to power the device. Current consumption is typically
22 mA, and it decreases to 200 µA when the device is disabled.
The AD8319 can be configured to provide a control voltage to
a power amplifier or a measurement output from the VOUT
pin. Because the output can be used for controller applications,
special attention was paid to minimize wideband noise. In this
mode, the setpoint control voltage is applied to the VSET pin.
Rev. D
The feedback loop through an RF amplifier is closed via VOUT,
the output of which regulates the output of the amplifier to a
magnitude corresponding to VSET. The AD8319 provides 0 V to
(VPOS − 0.1 V) output capability at the VOUT pin, suitable for
controller applications. As a measurement device, VOUT is
externally connected to VSET to produce an output voltage,
VOUT, that is a decreasing linear-in-dB function of the RF input
signal amplitude.
The logarithmic slope is −22 mV/dB, determined by the VSET
interface. The intercept is 15 dBm (re: 50 Ω, CW input) using
the INHI input. These parameters are very stable against supply
and temperature variations.
The AD8319 is fabricated on a SiGe bipolar IC process and is
available in a 2 mm × 3 mm, 8-lead LFCSP for an operating
temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.

RF Input. Nominal input range of −50 dBm to 0 dBm, re: 50 Ω; ac-coupled RF input.
Device Common. Connect this pin to a low impedance ground plane.
Loop Filter Capacitor. In measurement mode, this capacitor sets the pulse response time and video bandwidth.
In controller mode, the capacitance on this node sets the response time of the error amplifier/integrator.
Setpoint Control Input for Controller Mode or Feedback Input for Measurement Mode.
Measurement and Controller Output. In measurement mode, VOUT provides a decreasing linear-in-dB
representation of the RF input signal amplitude. In controller mode, VOUT is used to control the gain of a VGA or
VVA with a positive gain sense (increasing voltage increases gain).
Temperature Compensation Adjustment. Frequency dependent temperature compensation is set by connecting
a ground referenced resistor to this pin.
Positive Supply Voltage, 3.0 V to 5.5 V.
RF Common for INHI. AC-coupled RF common.
The pad is internally connected to COMM; solder to a low impedance ground plane.

AD8319
Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD8319 is a five-stage demodulating logarithmic amplifier,
specifically designed for use in RF measurement and power control
applications at frequencies up to 10 GHz. A block diagram is
shown in Figure 21. Sharing much of its design with the AD8318
logarithmic detector/controller, the AD8319 maintains tight
intercept variability vs. temperature over a 40 dB range. Additional
enhancements over the AD8318, such as reduced RF burst
response time of 6 ns to 10 ns, 22 mA supply current, and
board space requirements of only 2 mm × 3 mm add to the low
cost and high performance benefits found in the AD8319.

The logarithmic function is approximated in a piecewise fashion
by five cascaded gain stages. (For a detailed explanation of the
logarithm approximation, refer to the AD8307 data sheet.) The
cells have a nominal voltage gain of 9 dB each and a 3 dB
bandwidth of 10.5 GHz. Using precision biasing, the gain is
stabilized over temperature and supply variations. The overall
dc gain is high due to the cascaded nature of the gain stages.
An offset compensation loop is included to correct for offsets
within the cascaded cells. At the output of each of the gain
stages, a square-law detector cell is used to rectify the signal.
The RF signal voltages are converted to a fluctuating differential
current having an average value that increases with signal level.
Along with the five gain stages and detector cells, an additional
detector is included at the input of the AD8319, providing a
40 dB dynamic range in total. After the detector currents are
summed and filtered, the following function is formed at the
summing node:

Figure 21. Block Diagram
A fully differential design, using a proprietary, high speed
SiGe process, extends high frequency performance. Input INHI
receives the signal with a low frequency impedance of nominally
500 Ω in parallel with 0.7 pF. The maximum input with ±1 dB
log conformance error is typically 0 dBm (re: 50 Ω). The noise
spectral density referred to the input is 1.15 nV/√Hz, which is
equivalent to a voltage of 118 μV rms in a 10.5 GHz bandwidth
or a noise power of −66 dBm (re: 50 Ω). This noise spectral
density sets the lower limit of the dynamic range. However, the
low end accuracy of the AD8319 is enhanced by specially shaping
the demodulating transfer characteristic to partially compensate
for errors due to internal noise. The common pin, COMM,
provides a quality low impedance connection to the PCB
ground. The package paddle, which is internally connected
to the COMM pin, should also be grounded to the PCB to
reduce thermal impedance from the die to the PCB.

ID is the internally set detector current.
VIN is the input signal voltage.
VINTERCEPT is the intercept voltage (that is, when VIN = VINTERCEPT,
the output voltage would be 0 V, if it were capable of going to 0 V).

USING THE AD8319
BASIC CONNECTIONS
The AD8319 is specified for operation up to 10 GHz, as a result,
low impedance supply pins with adequate isolation between
functions are essential. A power supply voltage of between 3.0 V
and 5.5 V should be applied to VPOS. Power supply decoupling
capacitors of 100 pF and 0.1 µF should be connected close to
this power supply pin.

OUTPUT INTERFACE
The VOUT pin is driven by a PNP output stage. An internal 10 Ω
resistor is placed in series with the output and the VOUT pin.
The rise time of the output is limited mainly by the slew on
CLPF. The fall time is an RC-limited slew given by the load
capacitance and the pull-down resistance at VOUT. There is
an internal pull-down resistor of 1.6 kΩ. A resistive load at
VOUT is placed in parallel with the internal pull-down resistor
to provide additional discharge current.

The paddle of the LFCSP is internally connected to COMM.
For optimum thermal and electrical performance, the paddle

INPUT SIGNAL COUPLING
400Ω
The RF input (INHI) is single-ended and must be ac-coupled.
INLO (input common) should be ac-coupled to ground.
Suggested coupling capacitors are 47 nF ceramic 0402-style
capacitors for input frequencies of 1 MHz to 10 GHz. The
coupling capacitors should be mounted close to the INHI and
INLO pins. The coupling capacitor values can be increased to
lower the high-pass cutoff frequency of the input stage. The
high-pass corner is set by the input coupling capacitors and the
internal 10 pF high-pass capacitor. The dc voltage on INHI and
INLO is approximately one diode voltage drop below VPOS.
