100 MHz to 2.7 GHz, 45 dB  
RF Detector/Controller  
AD8314  
For convenience, the signal is internally ac-coupled, using a  
5 pF capacitor to a load of 3 kΩ in shunt with 2 pF. This high-  
pass coupling, with a corner at approximately 16 MHz,  
determines the lowest operating frequency. Therefore, the  
source can be dc grounded.  
FEATURES  
Complete RF detector/controller function  
Typical range:−58 dBV to −13 dBV  
−45 dBm to 0 dBm, re 50 Ω  
Frequency response from 100 MHz to 2.7 GHz  
Temperature-stable linear-in-dB response  
Accurate to 2.7 GHz  
Rapid response: 70 ns to a 10 dB step  
Low power: 12 mW at 2.7 V  
Power down to 20 μA  
The AD8314 provides two voltage outputs. The first, V_UP,  
increases from close to ground to about 1.2 V as the input signal  
level increases from 1.25 mV to 224 mV. This output is intended  
for use in measurement mode. Consult the Applications section  
for information on this mode. A capacitor can be connected  
between the V_UP and FLTR pins when it is desirable to  
increase the time interval over which averaging of the input  
waveform occurs.  
APPLICATIONS  
Cellular handsets (TDMA, CDMA , GSM)  
RSSI and TSSI for wireless terminal devices  
Transmitter power measurement and control  
The second output, V_DN, is an inversion of V_UP but with  
twice the slope and offset by a fixed amount. This output starts  
at about 2.25 V (provided the supply voltage is ≥3.3 V) for the  
minimum input and falls to a value close to ground at the  
maximum input. This output is intended for analog control  
loop applications. A setpoint voltage is applied to VSET, and  
V_DN is then used to control a VGA or power amplifier. Here  
again, an external filter capacitor can be added to extend the  
averaging time. Consult the Applications section for  
information on this mode.  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD8314 is a complete low cost subsystem for the  
measurement and control of RF signals in the frequency range  
of 100 MHz to 2.7 GHz, with a typical dynamic range of 45 dB,  
intended for use in a wide variety of cellular handsets and other  
wireless devices. It provides a wider dynamic range and better  
accuracy than possible using discrete diode detectors. In  
particular, its temperature stability is excellent over the full  
operating range of −40°C to +85°C.  
The AD8314 is available in 8-lead MSOP and 8-lead LFCSP  
packages and consumes 4.5 mA from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply.  
When powered down, the typical sleep current is 20 μA.  
Its high sensitivity allows control at low power levels, thus  
reducing the amount of power that needs to be coupled to the  
detector. It is essentially a voltage-responding device, with a  
typical signal range of 1.25 mV to 224 mV rms or –58 dBV to  
−13 dBV. This is equivalent to −45 dBm to 0 dBm, re 50 Ω.

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.

AD8314  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
The AD8314 is a logarithmic amplifier (log amp) similar in  
design to the AD8313; further details about the structure and  
function can be found in the AD8313 data sheet and other log  
amps produced by ADI. Figure 28 shows the main features of  
the AD8314 in block schematic form.  
However, in using this part, it must be understood that log  
amps do not fundamentally respond to power. It is for this  
reason the dBV is used (decibels above 1 V rms) rather than the  
commonly used metric of dBm. While the dBV scaling is fixed,  
independent of termination impedance, the corresponding  
power level is not. For example, 224 mV rms is always −13 dBV  
(with one further condition of an assumed sinusoidal waveform;  
see the Applications section for more information on the effect  
of waveform on logarithmic intercept), and it corresponds to a  
power of 0 dBm when the net impedance at the input is 50 Ω.  
When this impedance is altered to 200 Ω, the same voltage  
clearly represents a power level that is four times smaller  
(P = V2/R), that is, −6 dBm. Note that dBV can be converted to  
dBm for the special case of a 50 Ω system by simply adding  
13 dB (0 dBV is equivalent to +13 dBm).  
The AD8314 combines two key functions needed for the  
measurement of signal level over a moderately wide dynamic  
range. First, it provides the amplification needed to respond to  
small signals, in a chain of four amplifier/limiter cells, each  
having a small signal gain of 10 dB and a bandwidth of  
approximately 3.5 GHz. At the output of each of these amplifier  
stages is a full-wave rectifier, essentially a square-law detector  
cell, that converts the RF signal voltages to a fluctuating current  
having an average value that increases with signal level. A  
further passive detector stage is added prior to the first stage.  
Therefore, there are five detectors, each separated by 10 dB,  
spanning some 50 dB of dynamic range. The overall accuracy at  
the extremes of this total range, viewed as the deviation from an  
ideal logarithmic response, that is, the law-conformance error,  
can be judged by reference to Figure 7, which shows that errors  
across the central 40 dB are moderate. Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 8  
through Figure 11, Figure 13, and Figure 14 show how the  
conformance to an ideal logarithmic function varies with  
supply voltage, temperature, and frequency.  
Therefore, the external termination added prior to the AD8314  
determines the effective power scaling. This often takes the  
form of a simple resistor (52.3 Ω provides a net 50 Ω input),  
but more elaborate matching networks can be used. This  
impedance determines the logarithmic intercept, the input  
power for which the output would cross the baseline (V_UP =  
zero) if the function were continuous for all values of input.  
Because this is never the case for a practical log amp, the  
intercept refers to the value obtained by the minimum-error  
straight-line fit to the actual graph of V_UP vs. PIN (more  
generally, VIN). Again, keep in mind that the quoted values  
assume a sinusoidal (CW) signal. Where there is complex  
modulation, as in CDMA, the calibration of the power response  
needs to be adjusted accordingly. Where a true power (waveform-  
independent) response is needed, the use of an rms-responding  
detector, such as the AD8361, should be considered.  
The output of these detector cells is in the form of a differential  
current, making their summation a simple matter. It can easily  
be shown that such summation closely approximates a logarithmic  
function. This result is then converted to a voltage, at Pin V_UP,  
through a high-gain stage. In measurement modes, this output  
is connected back to a voltage-to-current (V-I) stage, in such a  
manner that V_UP is a logarithmic measure of the RF input  
voltage, with a slope and intercept controlled by the design. For  
a fixed termination resistance at the input of the AD8314, a  
given voltage corresponds to a certain power level.

However, the logarithmic slope, the amount by which the  
output V_UP changes for each decibel of input change (voltage  
or power) is, in principle, independent of waveform or termination  
impedance. In practice, it usually falls off somewhat at higher  
frequencies, due to the declining gain of the amplifier stages  
and other effects in the detector cells. For the AD8314, the slope  
at low frequencies is nominally 21.3 mV/dB, falling almost  
linearly with frequency to about 19.2 mV/dB at 2.5 GHz. These  
values are sensibly independent of temperature (see Figure 10)  
and almost totally unaffected by the supply voltage from 2.7 V  
to 5.5 V (see Figure 11).

The second provision is the inclusion of an inverting amplifier  
to the output, for use in controller applications. Most power  
amplifiers require a gain-control bias that must decrease from a  
large positive value toward ground level as the power output is  
required to decrease. This control voltage, which appears at  
Pin V_DN, is not only of the opposite polarity to V_UP, but also  
needs to have an offset added to determine its most positive value  
when the power level (assumed to be monitored through a  
directional coupler at the output of the PA) is minimal.

The starting value of V_DN is nominally 2.25 V, and it falls on a  
slope of twice that of V_UP; in other words,−43 mV/dB. Figure 29  
shows how this is achieved: the reference voltage that determines  
the maximum output is derived from the on-chip voltage  
reference and is substantially independent of the supply voltage  
or temperature. However, the full output cannot be attained for  
supply voltages under 3.3 V; Figure 22 shows this dependency.  
The relationship between V_UP and V_DN is shown in Figure 30.

AD8314  
APPLICATIONS  
V_DN, which is generally not used when the AD8314 is used in  
measurement mode, is essentially an inverted version of V_UP.  
The voltage on V_UP and V_DN are related by  
BASIC CONNECTIONS  
Figure 31 shows connections for the basic measurement mode.  
A supply voltage of 2.7 V to 5.5 V is required. The supply to the  
VPOS pin should be decoupled with a low inductance 0.1 μF  
surface-mount ceramic capacitor. A series resistor of about 10 Ω  
can be added; this resistor slightly reduces the supply voltage to the  
AD8314 (maximum current into the VPOS pin is approximately  
9 mA when V_DN is delivering 5 mA). Its use should be  
avoided in applications where the power supply voltage is very  
low (that is, 2.7 V). A series inductor provides similar power  
supply filtering with minimal drop in supply voltage.  
V
DN = 2.25 V − 2 VUP  
While V_DN can deliver up to 6 mA, the load resistance on  
V_UP should not be lower than 10 kΩ in order that the full-  
scale output of 1 V can be generated with the limited available  
current of 200 μA maximum. Figure 32 shows the logarithmic  
conformance under the same conditions.

The ENBL pin is here connected to VPOS. The AD8314 can be  
disabled by pulling this pin to ground when the chip current is  
reduced to about 20 μA from its normal value of 4.5 mA. The  
logic threshold is around +VS/2 and the enable function occurs  
in about 1.5 μs. Note, however, further settling time is generally  
needed at low input levels.

TRANSFER FUNCTION IN TERMS OF SLOPE AND  
INTERCEPT  
The transfer function of the AD8314 is characterized in terms  
of its slope and intercept. The logarithmic slope is defined as the  
change in the RSSI output voltage for a 1 dB change at the input.  
For the AD8314, slope is nominally 21.5 mV/dB. Therefore, a  
10 dB change at the input results in a change at the output of  
approximately 215 mV. Log conformance plot, Figure 32, shows  
the range over which the device maintains its constant slope.  
The dynamic range can be defined as the range over which the  
error remains within a certain band, usually 1 dB or 3 dB. In  
Figure 32 for example, the 1 dB dynamic range is approximately  
50 dB (from −13 dBV to −63 dBV).  
The AD8314 has an internal input coupling capacitor. This  
eliminates the need for external ac coupling. A broadband input  
match is achieved in this example by connecting a 52.3 Ω resistor  
between RFIN and ground. This resistance combines with the  
internal input impedance of approximately 3 kΩ to give an  
overall broadband input resistance of 50 Ω. Several other  
coupling methods are possible, which are described in the  
Input Coupling Options section.  
The measurement mode is selected by connecting VSET to  
V_UP, which establishes a feedback path and sets the  
logarithmic slope to its nominal value. The peak voltage range  
of the measurement extends from −58 dBV to −13 dBV at  
0.9 GHz, and only slightly less at higher frequencies up to  
2.5 GHz. Therefore, using the 50 Ω termination, the equivalent  
power range is −45 dBm to 0 dBm. At a slope of 21.5 mV/dB,  
this would amount to an output span of 967 mV. Figure 32  
shows the transfer function for V_UP at a supply voltage of 3 V  
and input frequency of 0.9 GHz.

AD8314  
OPERATING IN CONTROLLER MODE  
The intercept is the point at which the extrapolated linear  
response would intersect the horizontal axis (see Figure 32).  
Using the slope and intercept, the output voltage can be  
calculated for any input level within the specified input range by  
Figure 33 shows the basic connections for operation in the  
controller mode, and Figure 34 shows a block diagram of a  
typical controller mode application. The feedback from V_UP  
to VSET is broken and the desired setpoint voltage is applied to  
VSET from the controlling source (often this is a DAC). VDN  
rails high (2.2 V on a 3.3 V supply, and 1.9 V on a 2.7 V supply)  
when the applied power is less than the value corresponding to  
the setpoint voltage. When the input power slightly exceeds this  
value, VDN would, in the absence of the loop via the power  
amplifier gain pin, decrease rapidly toward ground. In the  
closed loop, however, the reduction in VDN causes the power  
amplifier to reduce its output. This restores a balance between  
the actual power level sensed at the input of the AD8314 and  
the demanded value determined by the setpoint. This assumes  
that the gain control sense of the variable gain element is  
positive, that is, an increasing voltage from V_DN tends to  
increase gain. The output swing and current sourcing capability  
of V_DN are shown in Figure 22 and Figure 25.

The most widely used convention in RF systems is to specify  
power in dBm, that is, decibels above 1 mW in 50 Ω. Specification  
of log amp input levels in terms of power is strictly a concession  
to popular convention; they do not respond to power (tacitly  
power absorbed at the input), but to the input voltage. The use  
of dBV, defined as decibels with respect to a 1 V rms sine wave,  
is more precise, although this is still not unambiguous because  
waveform is also involved in the response of a log amp, which,  
for a complex input (such as a CDMA signal), does not follow  
the rms value exactly. Since most users specify RF signals in  
terms of power (more specifically, in dBm/50 Ω), both dBV and  
dBm are used in specifying the performance of the AD8314  
showing equivalent dBm levels for the special case of a  
50 Ω environment. Values in dBV are converted to

The video bandwidth of both V_UP and V_DN is

frequency is much higher than this, no further filtering of the  
demodulated signal is required. Where there is a low frequency  
modulation of the carrier amplitude, however, the low-pass  
corner must be reduced by the addition of an external filter  
capacitor, CF (see Figure 31). The video bandwidth is related

The relationship between the input level and the setpoint  
voltage follows from the nominal transfer function of the device  
(VUP vs. input amplitude, see Figure 4). For example, a voltage of  
1 V on VSET demands a power level of 0 dBm at RFIN. The  
corresponding power level at the output of the power amplifier  
is greater than this amount due to the attenuation through the  
directional coupler.

AD8314  
When connected in a PA control loop, as shown in Figure 34,  
the voltage VUP is not explicitly used but is implicated in again  
setting up the required averaging time, by choice of CF.  
However, now the effective loop response time is a much more  
complicated function of the PA’s gain-control characteristics,  
which are very nonlinear. A complete solution requires specific  
knowledge of the power amplifier.  
A reactive match can also be implemented as shown in Figure 36.  
This is not recommended at low frequencies as device  
tolerances dramatically varies the quality of the match because  
of the large input resistance. For low frequencies, Figure 35 or  
Figure 37 is recommended.  
In Figure 36, the matching components are drawn as general  
reactances. Depending on the frequency, the input impedance at  
that frequency, and the availability of standard value components,  
either a capacitor or an inductor is used. As in the previous  
case, the input impedance at a particular frequency is plotted on  
a Smith Chart and matching components are chosen (shunt or  
Series L, shunt or Series C) to move the impedance to the center  
of the chart. Table 5 gives standard component values for some  
popular frequencies. Matching components for other frequencies  
can be calculated using the input resistance and reactance data  
over frequency, which is given in Figure 12. Note that the  
reactance is plotted as though it appears in parallel with the  
input impedance (which it does because the reactance is  
primarily due to input capacitance).  
The transient response of this control loop is determined by the  
filter capacitor, CF. When this is large, the loop is unconditionally  
stable (by virtue of the dominant pole generated by this  
capacitor), but the response is sluggish. The minimum value  
ensuring stability should be used, requiring full attention to the  
particulars of the power amplifier control function. Because this  
is invariably nonlinear, the choice must be made for the worst-  
case condition, which usually corresponds to the smallest  
output from the PA, where the gain function is steepest. In  
practice, an improvement in loop dynamics can often be  
achieved by adding a response zero, formed by a resistor in  
series with CF.  
The impedance matching characteristics of a reactive matching  
network provide voltage gain ahead of the AD8314; this increases  
the device sensitivity (see Table 5). The voltage gain is calculated by  
POWER-ON AND ENABLE GLITCH  
As previously mentioned, the AD8314 can be put into a low  
power mode by pulling the ENBL pin to ground. This reduces  
the quiescent current from 4.5 mA to 20 μA. Alternatively, the  
supply can be turned off to eliminate the quiescent current.  
Figure 16 and Figure 26 show the behavior of the V_DN output  
under these two conditions (in Figure 26, ENBL is tied to  
VPOS). The glitch that results in both cases can be reduced by  
loading the V_DN output.  
R2  
Voltage GaindB = 20 log10  
R1  
where R2 is the input impedance of the AD8314, and R1 is the  
source impedance to which the AD8314 is being matched. Note  
that this gain is only achieved for a perfect match. Component  
tolerances and the use of standard values tend to reduce gain.  
INPUT COUPLING OPTIONS  
50SOURCE  
AD8314  
The internal 5 pF coupling capacitor of the AD8314, along with  
the low frequency input impedance of 3 kΩ, gives a high-pass  
input corner frequency of approximately 16 MHz. This sets the  
minimum operating frequency. Figure 35 through Figure 37  
show three options for input coupling. A broadband resistive  
match can be implemented by connecting a shunt resistor to  
ground at RFIN (see Figure 35). This 52.3 Ω resistor (other  
values can also be used to select different overall input  
impedances) combines with the input impedance of the  
AD8314 (3 kΩ||2 pF) to give a broadband input impedance of  
50 Ω. While the input resistance and capacitance (CIN and  
RIN) varies by approximately 20ꢁ from device to device, the  
dominance of the external shunt resistor means that the variation  
in the overall input impedance is close to the tolerance of the  
external resistor.

At frequencies above 2 GHz, the input impedance drops below  
250 Ω (see Figure 12), so it is appropriate to use a larger value  
shunt resistor. This value is calculated by plotting the input  
impedance (resistance and capacitance) on a Smith Chart and  
choosing the best value shunt resistor to bring the input  
impedance closest to the center of the chart. At 2.5 GHz, a  
shunt resistor of 165 Ω is recommended.

AD8314  
Figure 37 shows a third method for coupling the input signal  
into the AD8314, applicable in applications where the input  
signal is larger than the input range of the log amp. A series  
resistor, connected to the RF source, combines with the input  
impedance of the AD8314 to resistively divide the input signal  
being applied to the input. This has the advantage of very little  
power being tapped off in RF power transmission applications.

1 mW), the AD8314 fundamentally responds to voltage and not  
to power. A direct consequence of this characteristic is that  
input signals of equal rms power but differing crest factors  
produces different results at the log amp’s output.  
The effect of differing signal waveforms is to shift the effective  
value of the intercept upwards or downwards. Graphically, this  
looks like a vertical shift in the log amps transfer function. The  
logarithmic slope, however, is not affected. For example,  
consider the case of the AD8314 being alternately fed by an  
unmodulated sine wave and by a single CDMA channel of the  
same rms power. The AD8314’s output voltage differs by the  
equivalent of 3.55 dB (70 mV) over the complete dynamic range  
of the device (the output for a CDMA input being lower).

INCREASING THE LOGARITHMIC SLOPE IN  
MEASUREMENT MODE  
The nominal logarithmic slope of 21.5 mV/dB (see Figure 10  
for the variation of slope with frequency) can be increased to an  
arbitrarily high value by attenuating the signal between V_UP  
and VSET, as shown in Figure 38. The ratio R1/R2 is set by  
Table 6 shows the correction factors that should be applied to  
measure the rms signal strength of various signal types. A sine  
wave input is used as a reference. To measure the rms power of  
a square wave, for example, the mV equivalent of the dB value  
given in the table (20 mV/dB times 3.01 dB) should be  
subtracted from the output voltage of the AD8314.

Table 6. Shift in AD8314 Output for Signals with Differing  
Crest Factors  
In the example shown, two 5 kΩ resistors combine to change  
the slope at 1900 MHz from 20 mV/dB to 40 mV/dB. The slope  
can be increased to higher levels. This, however, reduces the  
usable dynamic range of the device.

AD8314  
The setpoint voltage, in the 0 V to 1.1 V range, is applied to the  
VSET pin of the AD8314. This is typically supplied by a DAC.  
This voltage is compared to the input level of the AD8314. Any  
imbalance between VSET and the RF input level is corrected by  
V_DN, which drives the VAPC (gain control) of the power  
amplifier. V_DN reaches a maximum value of approximately  
1.9 V on a 2.7 V supply (this is higher for higher supply  
voltages) while delivering approximately 3 mA to the VAPC input.  
MOBILE HANDSET POWER CONTROL EXAMPLES  
Figure 39 shows a complete power amplifier control circuit for a  
dual mode handset. This circuit is applicable to any dual mode  
handset using TDMA or CDMA technologies. The PF08107B  
(Hitachi) is driven by a nominal power level of 3 dBm. Some of  
the output power from the PA is coupled off using an  
LDC15D190A0007A (Murata) directional coupler. This has a  
coupling factor of approximately 19 dB for its lower frequency  
band (897.5 MHz 17.5 MHz) and 14 dB for its upper band  
(1747.5 MHz 37.5 MHz) and an insertion loss of 0.38 dB  
and 0.45 dB, respectively. Because the PF08107B transmits a  
maximum power level of 35 dBm, additional attenuation of  
15 dB is required before the coupled signal is applied to  
the AD8314.  
A filter capacitor (CF) must be used to stabilize the loop. The  
choice of CF depends to a large degree on the gain control  
dynamics of the power amplifier, something that is frequently  
characterized poorly, so some trial and error can be necessary.  
In this example, a 220 pF capacitor gives the loop sufficient  
speed to follow the GSM and DCS1800 time slot ramping  
profiles, while still having a stable, critically damped response.

In both of these examples, noise on the V_DN pin can be reduced  
by placing a simple RC low-pass filter between VDN and the gain  
control pin of the power amplifier. However, the value of the  
resistor should be kept low to minimize the voltage drop across  
it due to the dc current flowing into the gain control input.

USING THE LFCSP PACKAGE  
OPERATION AT 2.7 GHz  
On the underside of the LFCSP package, there is an exposed,  
compressed paddle. This paddle is internally connected to the  
chip’s ground. While the paddle can be connected to the printed  
circuit boards ground plane, there is no thermal or electrical  
requirement to do this.  
While the AD8314 is specified to operate at frequencies up to  
2.5 GHz, it works at higher frequencies, although it does exhibit  
slightly higher output voltage temperature drift. Figure 43  
shows the transfer function of a typical device at 2.7 GHz, at  
ambient as well as hot and cold temperatures.  
EVALUATION BOARD  
Figure 44 shows the transfer function of the AD8314 when  
driven by both an unmodulated sine wave and a 64 QAM  
signal. As previously discussed, the higher peak-to-average ratio  
of the 64 QAM signal causes an increase in the intercept.  
Figure 45 shows the schematic of the AD8314 MSOP  
evaluation board. The layout and silkscreen of the component  
side are shown in Figure 46 and Figure 47. An evaluation board  
is also available for the LFCSP package. (For exact part numbers,  
see the Ordering Guide.) Apart from the slightly smaller device  
footprint, the LFCSP evaluation board is identical to the MSOP  
board. The board is powered by a single supply in the 2.7 V to  
5.5 V range. The power supply is decoupled by a single 0.1 μF  
capacitor. Additional decoupling, in the form of a series resistor  
or inductor in R9, can also be added. Table 7 details the various  
configuration options of the evaluation board.  
In this case, the intercept increases by approximately 1.5 dB,  
causing the overall transfer function to drop by the same  
amount. For precision operation, the AD8314 should be  
calibrated for each signal type that is driving it.
