GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD8363 is a true RMS responding power detector that has
more than 50 dB measurement range when driven with a
single-ended 50 Ω source. The device provides a solution in a
variety of high frequency communication systems, and in
instrumentation, requiring an accurate response to signal
power. The AD8363 is easy to use with its single-ended 50 Ω
input, only requiring a single 5 V supply, and a few capacitors.
The AD8363 can operate from arbitrarily low frequencies to 6
GHz and can accept inputs that have RMS values from less than

-50 dBm to at least 0 dBm, with large crest factors, exceeding
the requirements for accurate measurement of WiMAX,
WCDMA, and CDMA signals.

The AD8363 can determine the true power of a high frequency
signal having a complex low frequency modulation envelope, or
can be used as a simple low frequency RMS voltmeter. The
high-pass corner generated by its internal offset-nulling loop
can be lowered by a capacitor added on the CHPF pin.

Used as a power measurement device, VOUT is connected 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 mode, the voltage applied to VSET determines the
power level required at the input to null the deviation from the
set point. The output buffer can provide high load currents.

The AD8363 has 1.5 mW power consumption when powered
down by a logic high applied to pin 1, TCM2. It powers up
within about 30 μs to its nominal operating current of 60 mA at
25°C. The AD8363 is supplied in a 4 mm x 4 mm, 16-lead
LFCSP for operation over the temperature range of −40°C to
+125°C. An evaluation board is available.

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.

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.

C12C, C11C,

Input:

The AD8363 was designed to be driven single ended but the dynamic range can be
increased at higher frequencies, if a balun is used. C11C and C12C are used when driving
the AD8363 single ended. C11C and C12C should be removed and 0.1uF capacitors
should be used for C10C and C6C

C12C=0.1uF, C11C=0.1uF,
C6C=Open, C10C=Open,
T1C=AD8363ACPZ-R7

R11C, R10C VTGT:

R10C and R11C are set up to provide 1.4V to VTGT. An external voltage can be used if
R10C and R11C are removed.

C4C, R1, C1

R6C, R2C, R1C Output Interface--Measurement Mode:

Output Interface--Measurement Mode:

C9C, C8C, R5C Low-pass filter capacitors:

C3C CHPF capacitor

Power Supply Decoupling:

The nominal supply decoupling consists of a 100 pF filter capacitor placed physically
close to the AD8363, a 0 Ω series resistor, and a 0.1 uF capacitor placed closer to the
power supply input pin.

In measurement mode, a portion of the output voltage is fed back to the VSET pin via
R6C. The magnitude of the slope at VPUT can be increased by reducing the portion of
V

that is fed back to VSET. If a fast responding output is expected, the 0 Ω resistor on

OUT

R1C can be removed to reduce parasitics on the output.

In this mode, R6C must be open and R2C must have a 0 Ω resistor. In controller mode,
the AD8363 can control the gain of an external component. A setpoint voltage is applied
to the VSET pin, the value of which corresponds to the desired RF input signal level
applied to the AD8363 RF input. If a fast responding output is expected, the 0 Ω resistor
on R1C can be removed to reduce parasitics on the output.

The low-pass filter capacitors reduce the noise on the output and affect the pulse
response time of the AD8363. The smallest CLPF capacitance should be 400 pF

The CHPF capacitor introduces a high-pass filter effect into the AD8363 transfer function
and can affect the response time. It should be tied to VPOS.

C9C=0.1uF, C8C=Open,

C1C, R9C, R4C ENT2/PWDN:

The ENT2/PWDN pin controls the amount of nonlinear intercept temperature
compensation and/or shuts down the device. The evaluation board is configured to
control this from a test loop but VREF can be used through a voltage divider created from
R9C and R4C.

R2, R3 TCM1:

TCM1 controls the intercept temperature compensation (3K impedance). The evaluation
board is configured to control this from a test loop but VREF can be used through a
voltage divider created from R2 and R3
