PRODUCT 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.
The ADL5310 employs an optimized translinear structure that
use the accurate logarithmic relationship between a bipolar
transistor’s 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
VSUM potential. The VSUM potential is internally set to
500 mV but may be externally grounded for dual-supply opera-
tion, 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—
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
measurements 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. US Patents: 4,604,532, 5,519,308. Other patents pending.

SPECIFICATIONS VP = 5 V, VN = 0 V, TA = 25°C, RREF = 665 kΩ, and VRDZ connected to VREF, unless otherwise noted.
Table 1. 1 Other values of logarithmic intercept can be achieved by adjustment of RREF. Output noise and incremental bandwidth are functions of input current; measured using output buffer connected for GAIN = 1.
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Table 2. 1 With paddle soldered down.
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those listed in the operational sections
of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
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.
