GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADL5519 is a dual-demodulating logarithmic amplifier, using the AD8317 core. It has the capability of accurately converting an RF input signal to a corresponding decibel-scaled output. The ADL5519 provides accurately scaled, independent, logarithmic outputs of both RF measurement channels. Difference output ports, which measure the difference between the two channels, are also available. The on-chip channel matching makes the log-amp channel difference outputs extremely stable with temperature and process variations. The device also includes a useful temperature sensor with an accurately scaled voltage proportional to temperature, specified over the device operating temperature range.
