Datasheet Analog Devices AD8311

50 dB GSM PA Controller
AD8311
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. Thus,
the source can be dc-grounded. FEATURES
Complete RF detector/controller function
>50 dB range at 0.9 GHz (−48 dBm to +3 dBm re 50 Ω)
Accurate scaling from 0.1 GHz to 2.5 GHz
Temperature-stable linear-in-dB response
Log slope of 23 mV/dB, intercept at −60 dBm at 0.9 GHz
True integration function in control loop
Low power: 20 mW at 2.7 V The AD8311 provides a voltage output, VAPC, which has the
voltage range and current drive to directly connect to the gain
control pin of most handset power amplifiers. VAPC can swing
from 300 mV above ground to within 200 mV below the supply
voltage. Load currents of up to 6 mA can be supported. APPLICATIONS
Single, dual, and triple band mobile handset (GSM, DCS,
EDGE)
Transmitter power control The setpoint control input is applied to pin VSET and has an
operating range of 0.25 V to 1.4 V. The associated circuit …
