GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8315 is a complete low cost subsystem for the precise
control of RF power amplifiers operating in the frequency range
0.1 GHz to 2.5 GHz and over a typical dynamic range of 50 dB.
It is intended for use in cellular handsets and other batteryoperated wireless devices. The log amp technique provides a
much wider measurement range and better accuracy than
controllers using diode detectors. In particular, its temperature
stability is excellent over a specified range of −30°C to +85°C.
50 dB GSM PA Controller
AD8315
Its high sensitivity allows control at low signal levels, thus
reducing the amount of power that needs to be coupled to
the detector.
For convenience, the signal is internally ac-coupled. This
high-pass coupling, with a corner at approximately 0.016 GHz,
determines the lowest operating frequency. Therefore, the
source can be dc grounded.
The AD8315 provides a voltage output, VAPC, that has the
voltage range and current drive to directly connect to most
handset power amplifiers’ gain control pin. VAPC can swing
from 250 mV above ground to within 200 mV below the supply
voltage. Load currents of up to 6 mA can be supported.
The setpoint control input is applied to the VSET pin and has
an operating range of 0.25 V to 1.4 V. The associated circuit
determines the slope and intercept of the linear-in-dB
measurement system; these are nominally 23 mV/dB and
−60 dBm for a 50 Ω termination (−73 dBV) at 0.9 GHz.
Further simplifying the application of the AD8315, the input
resistance of the setpoint interface is over 100 MΩ, and the bias
current is typically 0.5 µA.
The AD8315 is available in MSOP and LFCSP packages and
consumes 8.5 mA from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply. When powered
down, the sleep current is 4 µA.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.
