GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The ADL53101 low cost, dual logarithmic amplifier converts input  
current over a wide dynamic range to a linear-in-dB output  
voltage. It is optimized to determine the optical power in wide-  
ranging optical communication system applications, including  
control circuitry for lasers, optical switches, atten-uators, and  
amplifiers, as well as system monitoring. The device is equivalent  
to a dual AD8305 with enhanced dynamic range (120 dB). While  
the ADL5310 contains two independent signal channels with  
individually configurable transfer function constants (slope and  
intercept), internal bias circuitry is shared between channels for  
improved power consumption and channel matching. Dual  
converters in a single, compact LFCSP package yield space-  
efficient solutions for measuring gain or attenuation across  
optical elements. Only a single supply is required; optional  
dual-supply operation offers added flexibility.  
VSUM potential. The VSUM potential is internally set to 500 mV  
but may be externally grounded for dual-supply operation, and  
for additional applications requiring voltage inputs.  
The logarithmic slope is set to 10 mV/dB (200 mV/decade)  
nominal and can be modified using external resistors and the  
independent buffer amplifiers. The logarithmic intercepts for  
each channel are defined by the individual reference currents,  
which are set to 3 μA nominal for maximum input range by  
connecting 665 kΩ resistors between the 2.5 V VREF pins and  
the IRF1 and IRF2 inputs. Tying VRDZ to VREF effectively sets  
the x-intercept four decades below the reference current, which  
is typically 300 pA for a 3 µA reference.  
The use of individually optimized reference currents may be  
valuable when using the ADL5310 for gain or absorbance measure-  
ments where each channel input has a different current range  
requirement. The reference current inputs are also fully functional  
dynamic inputs, allowing log ratio operation with the reference  
input current as the denominator. The ADL5310 is specified for  
operation from –40°C to +85°C.  
The ADL5310 employs an optimized translinear structure that  
use the accurate logarithmic relationship between a bipolar  
transistors base emitter voltage and collector current, with  
appropriate scaling by precision currents to compensate for the  
inherent temperature dependence. Input and reference current  
pins sink current ranging from 3 nA to 3 mA (limited to 60 dB  
between input and reference) into a fixed voltage defined by the

GENERAL STRUCTURE  
The ADL5310 addresses a wide variety of interfacing conditions  
to meet the needs of fiber optic supervisory systems and is useful  
in many nonoptical applications. These notes explain the structure  
of this unique style of translinear log amp. Figure 33 shows the  
key elements of one of the two identical on-board log amps.  
THEORY  
The base-emitter voltage of a bipolar junction transistor (BJT)  
can be expressed by Equation 1, which immediately shows its  
basic logarithmic nature:

IS is never precisely defined and exhibits an even stronger temper-  
ature dependence, varying by a factor of roughly a billion between  
−35°C and +85°C. Thus, to make use of the BJT as an accurate  
logarithmic element, both of these temperature dependencies  
must be eliminated.

The difference between the base-emitter voltages of a matched

the other operating at a reference current IREF, can be written as

V
BE1 VBE2 = kT/q ln(IPD/IS) – kT/q ln(IREF/IS)  
The photodiode current IPD is received at either Pin INP1 or  
Pin INP2. The voltages at these nodes are approximately equal  
to the voltage on the adjacent guard pins, VSUM, as well as reference  
inputs IRF1 and IRF2, due to the low offset voltage of the JFET  
operational amplifiers. Transistor Q1 converts IPD to a corre-  
sponding logarithmic voltage, as shown in Equation 1. A finite  
positive value of VSUM is needed to bias the collector of Q1 for  
the usual case of a single-supply voltage. This is internally set to  
0.5 V, one-fifth of the 2.5 V reference voltage that appears on  
Pin VREF. Both VREF pins are internally shorted, as are both  
VSUM pins. The resistance at the VSUM pin is nominally 16 kΩ;  
this voltage is not intended as a general bias source.  
= ln(10) kT/q log10(IPD/IREF  
= 59.5 mV log10(IPD/IREF) (T = 300 K)  
)
(2)  
The uncertain, temperature-dependent saturation current, IS,  
that appears in Equation 1 has therefore been eliminated. To  
eliminate the temperature variation of kT/q, this difference  
voltage is processed by what is essentially an analog divider.  
Effectively, it puts a variable under Equation 2. The output of  
this process, which also involves a conversion from voltage  
mode to current mode, is an intermediate, temperature-  
corrected current:  
I
LOG = IY log10(IPD/IREF  
)
(3)  
The ADL5310 also supports the use of an optional negative supply  
voltage, VN, at Pin VNEG. When VN is 0.5 V or more negative,  
VSUM may be connected to ground; thus, INP1, INP2, IRF1,  
and IRF2 assume this potential. This allows operation as a voltage-  
input logarithmic converter by the inclusion of a series resistor  
at either or both inputs. Note that the resistor setting IREF for  
each channel needs to be adjusted to maintain the intercept value.  
Also, note that the collector-emitter voltages of Q1 and Q2 are  
the full VN and effects due to self-heating cause errors at large  
input currents.  
where IY is an accurate, temperature-stable scaling current that  
determines the slope of the function (change in current per  
decade).  
For the ADL5310, IY is 44 µA, resulting in a temperature-  
independent slope of 44 µA/decade for all values of IPD and IREF  
This current is subsequently converted back to a voltage-mode  
output, VLOG, scaled 200 mV/decade.  
.
It is apparent that this output is 0 for IPD = IREF and must swing  
negative for smaller values of input current. To avoid this, IREF  
would need to be as small as the smallest value of IPD. Accordingly,  
an offset voltage is added to VLOG to shift it upward by 0.8 V when  
VRDZ is directly connected to VREF. This moves the intercept  
to the left by four decades (at 200 mV/decade), from 3 μA to  
300 pA:  
The input-dependent VBE1 of Q1 is compared with the reference  
VBE2 of a second transistor, Q2, operating at IREF. IREF is generated  
externally to a recommended value of 3 µA. However, other  
values over a several-decade range can be used with a slight  
degradation in law conformance.

Because values of IPD < IINTC result in a negative VLOG, a negative  
supply of sufficient value is required to accommodate this  
situation.  
Thus, the effective intercept current IINTC is only one ten-  
thousandth of IREF, corresponding to 300 pA when using the  
recommended value of IREF = 3 μA.  
The voltage VLOG is generated by applying ILOG to an internal  
resistance of 4.55 kΩ, formed by the parallel combination of a  
6.69 kΩ resistor to ground and a 14.2 kΩ resistor to Pin VRDZ  
(typically tied to the 2.5 V reference, VREF). At the LOG1  
(LOG2) pin, the output current ILOG generates a voltage of  
The slope can be reduced by attaching a resistor between the log  
amp output pin, LOG1 or LOG2, and ground. This is strongly  
discouraged given that the on-chip resistors do not ratio  
correctly to the added resistance. In addition, it is rare that one  
would wish to lower the basic slope of 10 mV/dB; if this is  
needed, it should be effected at the low impedance output of the  
buffer amps, which are provided to avoid such miscalibration  
and to allow higher slopes to be used.

Each buffer of the ADL5310 is essentially an uncommitted  
operational amplifier with rail-to-rail output swing, good load  
driving capabilities, and a typical unity-gain bandwidth of 15 MHz.  
In addition to allowing the introduction of gain, using standard  
feedback networks and thereby increasing the slope voltage VY,  
the buffer can be used to implement multipole, low-pass filters,  
threshold detectors, and a variety of other functions. Further  
details on these applications can be found in the AD8304 data  
sheet.  
where VY = 200 mV/decade or 10 mV/dB.  
Note that any resistive loading on LOG1 (LOG2) lowers this  
slope and results in an overall scaling uncertainty. This is due to  
the variability of the on-chip resistors compared to the off-chip  
load. As a consequence, this practice is not recommended.  
VLOG may also swing below ground when dual supplies (VP and  
VN) are used. When VN = −0.5 V or larger, the input Pins INP1  
(INP2) and IRF1 (INP2) may be positioned at ground level  
simply by grounding VSUM. Care must be taken to limit the  
power consumed by the input BJT devices when using a larger  
negative supply, because self heating degrades the accuracy at  
higher currents.  
RESPONSE TIME AND NOISE CONSIDERATIONS  
The response time and output noise of the ADL5310 are funda-  
mentally a function of the signal current, IPD. For small currents,  
the bandwidth is proportional to IPD, as shown in Figure 15. The  
output low frequency voltage-noise spectral-density is a function  
of IPD (see Figure 17) and increases for small values of IREF. Details  
of the noise and bandwidth performance of translinear log amps  
can be found in the AD8304 data sheet.  
MANAGING INTERCEPT AND SLOPE  
When using a single supply, VRDZ should be directly connected  
to VREF to allow operation over the entire 6-decade input current  
range. As noted in the Theory section, this introduces an accurate  
offset voltage of 0.8 V at the LOG1 and LOG2 pins, equivalent  
to four decades, resulting in a logarithmic transfer function that  
can be written as  
V
LOG = VY log10(104 × IPD/IREF) = VY log10(IPD/IINTC  
where IINTC = IREF/104.

Figure 34. Basic Connections for Fixed Intercept Use  
The ADL5310 is easy to use in optical supervisory systems and in  
similar situations where a wide-ranging current is to be converted  
to its logarithmic equivalent, that is, represented in decibel terms.  
Basic connections for measuring a single current at each input  
are shown in Figure 34, which also includes various nonessential  
components, as explained next.  
In addition, each input and reference pin (INP1, INP2, IRF1,  
and IRF2) has a compensation network made up of a series  
resistor and capacitor. The junction capacitance of the photo-  
diode along with the network capacitance of the board artwork  
around the input system creates a pole that varies widely with  
input current. The RC network stabilizes the system by simul-  
taneously reducing this pole frequency and inserting a zero to  
compensate an additional pole inherent in the input system. In  
general, the 1 nF, 1 kΩ network handles almost any photodiode  
interface. In situations where larger active area photodiodes are  
used, or when long input traces are used, the capacitor value may  
need to be increased to ensure stability. Although the signal and  
reference input systems are similar, additional care is required  
to ensure stable operation of the reference inputs at temperature  
extremes across the full current range of IRF1 (IRF2). It is recom-  
mended that filter components of 4.7 nF and 2 kΩ should be  
used from Pin IRF1 (IRF2) to ground. Temperature-stable compo-  
nents should always be used in critical locations, such as the  
compensation networks. Y5V-type chip capacitors are to be  
avoided due to their poor temperature stability.  
The 2 V difference in voltage between the VREF and Input Pins  
INP1 and INP2, in conjunction with the external 665 kΩ resistors  
RRF1 and RRF2, provides 3 µA reference currents IRF1 and IRF2 into  
Pins IRF1 and IRF2. Connecting VRDZ to VREF raises the  
voltage at LOG1 and LOG2 by 0.8 V, effectively lowering each  
intercept current IINTC by a factor of 104 to position it at 300 pA.  
A wide range of other values for IREF, from 3 nA to 3 mA, may  
be used. The effect of such changes is shown in Figure 5 and  
Figure 8.  
Any temperature variation in RRF1 (RRF2) must be taken into account  
when estimating the stability of the intercept. Also, the overall  
noise increases when using very low values of IRF1 (IRF2). In fixed  
intercept applications, there is little benefit in using a large reference  
current, because doing so only compresses the low current end  
of the dynamic range when operated from a single supply. The  
capacitor between VSUM and ground is strongly recommended  
to minimize the noise on this node, to reduce channel-to-channel  
crosstalk, and to help provide clean reference currents.  
The optional capacitor from LOG1 (LOG2) to ground forms a  
single-pole, low-pass filter in combination with the 5 kΩ resis-  
tance at this pin. For example, when using a CFLT of 10 nF, the  
3 dB corner frequency is 3.2 kHz. Such filtering is useful in  
Rev. B | Page 13 of 20

minimizing the output noise, particularly when IPD is small.  
Multipole filters are more effective in reducing the total noise;  
examples are provided in the AD8304 data sheet.  
Figure 35 shows the improvement in accuracy when using a  
2-point calibration method. To perform this calibration, apply  
two known currents, I1 and I2, in the linear operating range  
between 10 nA and 1 mA. Measure the resulting output, V1 and  
V2, respectively, and calculate the slope m and the intercept b:  
Because the basic scaling at LOG1 (LOG2) is 0.2 V/decade, and  
a 4 V swing at the buffer output would correspond to 20 decades,  
it is often useful to raise the slope to make better use of the rail-  
to-rail voltage range. For illustrative purposes, both channels in  
Figure 34 provide a 0.5 V/decade overall slope (25 mV/dB).  
Thus, using IREF = 3 μA, VLOG runs from 0.2 V at IPD = 3 nA to  
1.4 V at IPD = 3 mA; the buffer output runs from 0.5 V to 3.5 V,  
corresponding to a dynamic range of 120 dB (electrical, that is,  
60 dB optical power).  
m = (V1 V2)/[log10(I1) – log10(I2)]  
b = V1 m × log10(I1)  
(7)  
(8)  
The same calibration can be performed with two known optical  
powers, P1 and P2. This allows for calibration of the entire  
measurement system while providing a simplified relationship  
between the incident optical power and VLOG voltage:  
m = (V1 V2)/(P1 P2)  
b = V1 m × P1  
(9)  
(10)  
Further information on adjusting the slope and intercept, using  
a negative supply, and additional operations can be found in the  
AD8305 data sheet.  
The uncalibrated error line in Figure 35 was generated assuming  
that the slope of the measured output was 200 mV/decade when  
in fact it was actually 194 mV/decade. Correcting for this discre-  
pancy decreased measurement error up to 3 dB.  
CALIBRATION  
Each channel of the ADL5310 has a nominal slope and intercept  
at LOG1 (LOG2) of 200 mV/decade and 300 pA, respectively,  
when configured as shown in Figure 34. These values are  
untrimmed and the slope alone may vary by as much as 7.5%  
over temperature. For this reason, it is recommended that a  
simple calibration be done to achieve increased accuracy. While  
the ADL5310 offers improved slope and intercept matching  
compared to a randomly selected pair of AD8305 log amps, the  
specified accuracy can only be achieved by calibrating each  
channel individually.  
MINIMIZING CROSSTALK  
Combining two high-dynamic-range logarithmic converters in  
one IC carries potential pitfalls concerning channel-to-channel  
isolation. Special care must be taken in several areas to ensure  
acceptable crosstalk performance, particularly when one or  
both channels may operate at very low input currents. Fastidious  
supply bypassing, which is also necessary for overall stability,  
and careful board layout are important first steps for  
minimizing crosstalk.

While the shared bias circuitry improves channel-to-channel  
matching and reduces power consumption, it is also a source of  
crosstalk that must be mitigated. The VSUM pins, which are inter-  
nally shorted, should be bypassed with at least 1 nF to ground,  
and 20 nF is recommended for operation at the lowest currents  
(<30 nA). VSUM is of particular importance because it acts as a  
reference voltage input for each input system, but without the  
bandwidth limitation at low currents that the primary inputs incur.  
Disturbances at the VSUM pin that are well within the bandwidth  
of the input are tracked by the loop and do not generate distur-  
bances at the output (aside from the generally minor perturbation  
in reference currents caused by voltage variations at IRF1 and  
IRF2).

For this reason, the pole frequency at VSUM, which has a 16 kΩ  
typical source resistance, should be set below the minimum input  
system bandwidth for the lowest input current to be encountered.  
Because the low frequency noise at VSUM is also tracked by the  
loop within its available bandwidth, this is also a criterion for  
reducing the noise contribution at the output from the thermal  
noise of the 16 kΩ source resistance at VSUM.

A 10 nF capacitor on each VSUM pin (20 nF parallel equivalent)

input current of 3 nA.  
voltage, followed by differencing of the two signal levels in the  
digital domain for a relative gain or absorbance measurement.  
A more straightforward analog implementation includes the use  
of a current mirror, as shown in Figure 37. The current mirror  
is used to feed an opposite polarity replica of the cathode photo-  
current of PD2 into Channel 2 of the ADL5310. This allows one  
channel to be used as an absolute power meter for the optical  
signal incident on PD2, while the opposite channel is used to  
directly compute the log ratio of the two input signals.  
Residual crosstalk disturbance is particularly problematic at the  
lowest currents for two reasons. First, the loop is unable to reject  
summing node disturbances beyond the limited bandwidth.  
Second, the settling response at the lowest currents to any residual  
disturbance is significantly slower than that for input currents  
even one or two decades higher (see Figure 18).

Figure 36 shows the measured response of an inactive channel  
(dc input) to a 1-decade current step on the input of the active  
channel for several inactive channel dc current values. Additional  
system considerations may be necessary to ensure adequate  
settling time following a known transient when one or both  
channels are operating at very low input currents.

Figure 37. Absolute and Relative Power Measurement Application  
Using Modified Wilson Current Mirror  
When properly calibrated, the ADL5310 provides two independent  
channels capable of accurate absolute optical power measurements.  
Often, it is desirable to measure the relative gain or absorbance  
across an optical network element, such as an optical amplifier  
or variable attenuator. If each channel has identical logarithmic  
slopes and intercepts, this can easily be done by differencing the  
output signals of each channel. In reality, channel mismatch can  
result in significant errors over a wide range of input levels if  
left uncompensated. Postprocessing of the signal can be used to  
account for individual channel characteristics. This requires a  
simple calculation of the expected input level for a measured log  
The presented current mirror is a modified Wilson mirror. Other  
current mirror implementations would also work, though the  
modified Wilson mirror provides fairly constant performance  
over temperature. It is essential to use matched pair transistors  
when designing the current mirror to minimize the effects of  
temperature gradients and beta mismatch.

ADL5310  
Data Sheet  
The solution in Figure 37 is no longer subject to potential channel  
mismatch issues. Individual channel slope and intercept charac-  
teristics can be calibrated independently. The accuracy was verified  
using a pair of calibrated current sources. The performance of  
the circuit depicted in Figure 37 is shown in Figure 38 and  
Figure 39. Multiple transfer functions and error plots are provided  
for various power levels. The accuracy is better than 0.1 dB over  
a 5-decade range. The dynamic range is slightly reduced for strong  
IIN input currents. This is due to the limited available swing of  
the VLOG pin and can be recovered through careful selection  
of input and output optical tap coupling ratios.  
CHARACTERIZATION METHODS  
During the characterization of the ADL5310, the device was  
treated as a precision current-input logarithmic converter, because  
it is impractical to generate accurate photocurrents by illumin-  
ating a photodiode. The test currents were generated by using  
either a well calibrated current source, such as the Keithley 236,  
or a high value resistor from a voltage source to the input pin.  
Great care is needed when using very small input currents. For  
example, the triax output connection from the current generator  
was used with the guard tied to VSUM. The input trace on the  
PC board was guarded by connecting adjacent traces to VSUM.  
1.8  
These measures are needed to minimize the risk of leakage current  
paths. With 0.5 V as the nominal bias on the INP1 (INP2) pin, a  
leakage-path resistance of 1 GΩ to ground would subtract 0.5 nA  
from the input, which amounts to a −1.6 dB error for a 3 nA source  
current. Additionally, the very high sensitivity at the input pins  
and the long cables commonly needed during characterization  
allow 60 Hz and RF emissions to introduce substantial measure-  
ment errors. Careful guarding techniques are essential to reducing  
the pickup of these spurious signals.
