ADL5331
Figure 19 shows the basic connections for operating the
log detector in an automatic gain control (AGC) loop with the
ADL5331.
The gain of the ADL5331 is controlled by the output pin of the
AD8319. The voltage, V
avoid overdrive recovery issues, the AD8319 output voltage can
be scaled down using a resistive divider to interface with the
0.1 V to 1.4 V gain control range of the ADL5331.
A coupler/attenuation of 21 dB is used to match the desired
maximum output power from the VGA to the top end of the
linear operating range of the AD8319 (approximately −5 dBm
at 900 MHz).
Figure 20 shows the transfer function of the output power vs.
the V
with an input power of −1.5 dBm. Note that the power control
of the AD8319 has a negative sense. Decreasing V
corresponds to demanding a higher signal from the ADL5331,
increases gain.
This AGC loop is capable of controlling signals of ~30 dB,
which is the gain range limitation on the ADL5331. Across
the top 25 dB range of output power, the linear conformance
error is within ±0.5 dB over temperature.
