A simple half-wave detector is used based on Q1 and R2. The
average current into Capacitor C2 is the difference between the
current provided by the
collector current of Q1. In turn, the control voltage V
time integral of this error current. When V
stable, the rectified current in Q1 must, on average, balance
exactly the current in the AD590. If the output of A2 is too
small to do this, V
Q1 conducts sufficiently. The operation of this control system
follows.
First, consider the particular case where R2 is zero and the
output voltage V
well above the corner frequency of the control loop. During the
time V
cut off. Since the average collector current is forced to be
300 μA and the square wave has a 50% duty-cycle, the current
when conducting must be 600 μA. With R2 omitted, the peak
value of V
about 700 mV) or 2 V
which the output stabilizes, has a strong negative temperature
coefficient (TC), typically –1.7 mV/°C. While this may not be
troublesome in some applications, the correct value of R2
renders the output stable with temperature.
To understand this, first note that the current in the
closely proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT). In fact,
this IC is intended for use as a thermometer. For the moment,
assume that the signal is a square wave. When Q1 is conducting,

that can be chosen to have a TC equal but opposite to the TC of
the base-to-emitter voltage. This is actually nothing more than
the band gap voltage reference principle in thinly veiled
disguise. When R2 is chosen so that the sum of the voltage

Since the average emitter current is 600 μA during each half-
cycle of the square wave, a resistor of 833 Ω would add a PTAT
voltage of 500 mV at 300 K, increasing by 1.66 mV/°C. In
practice, the optimum value of R2 depends on the transistor
used and, to a lesser extent, on the waveform for which the
temperature stability is to be optimized; for the devices shown
and sine wave signals, the recommended value is 806 Ω. This
resistor also serves to lower the peak current in Q1 and the
200 Hz LP filter it forms with C2 helps to minimize distortion

wave conditions is higher than for a square wave because the
average value of the current for an ideal rectifier would be
0.637 times as large, causing the output amplitude to be 1.88 V
(= 1.2/0.637), or 1.33 V rms. In practice, the somewhat nonideal
rectifier results in the sine wave output being regulated to about
1.275 V rms.

An offset of 375 mV is applied to the inverting gain-control
inputs C1LO and C2LO. Therefore, the nominal –625 mV to
+625 mV range for V
for minimum gain to +1 V for maximum gain. This prevents
Q1 from going into heavy saturation at low gains and leaves
sufficient headroom of 4 V for the
at high gains when using a 5 V supply.
In fact, the 6 dB interstage attenuator means that the overall
gain of this AGC system actually runs from –6 dB to +74 dB.
Thus, an input of 2 V rms would be required to produce a
1 V rms output at the minimum gain, which exceeds the 1 V rms
maximum input specification of the AD600. The available gain
range is therefore 0 dB to 74 dB (or X1 to X5000). Since the gain
scaling is 15.625 mV/dB (because of the cascaded stages), the
minimum value of V
or about 94 mV, to −156 mV, so the risk of saturation in Q1 is
reduced.
The emitter circuit of Q1 is somewhat inductive (due its finite f
and base resistance). Consequently, the effective value of R2
increases with frequency. This results in an increase in the
stabilized output amplitude at high frequencies, but for the
addition of C3, determined experimentally to be 15 pF for the
2N3904 for maximum response flatness. Alternatively, a faster
transistor can be used here to reduce HF peaking. Figure 38
shows the ac response at the stabilized output level of about
1.3 rms. Figure 39 demonstrates the output stabilization for the
sine wave inputs of 1 mV to 1 V rms at frequencies of 100 kHz,
1 MHz, and 10 MHz.
