GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8361 is a mean-responding power detector for use in
high frequency receiver and transmitter signal chains, up to
2.5 GHz. It is very easy to apply. It requires a single supply only
between 2.7 V and 5.5 V, a power supply decoupling capacitor,
and an input coupling capacitor in most applications. The
output is a linear-responding dc voltage with a conversion gain
of 7.5 V/V rms. An external filter capacitor can be added to
increase the averaging time constant.

The AD8361 is intended for true power measurement of simple
and complex waveforms. The device is particularly useful for
measuring high crest-factor (high peak-to-rms ratio) signals,
such as CDMA and W-CDMA.
GROUND
REFERENCE MODE
The AD8361 has three operating modes to accommodate a
variety of analog-to-digital converter requirements:
1.
2.
3.
Ground reference mode, in which the origin is zero.
Internal reference mode, which offsets the output 350 mV
above ground.
Supply reference mode, which offsets the output to V
S
/7.5.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings

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.

Description
Supply Voltage Pin. Operational range 2.7 V to 5.5 V.
Output Reference Control Pin. Internal reference mode enabled when pin is left open; otherwise, this
pin should be tied to VPOS. Do not ground this pin.
Signal Input Pin. Must be driven from an ac-coupled source. The low frequency real input impedance
is 225 Ω.
Power-Down Pin. For the device to operate as a detector, it needs a logical low input (less than
100 mV). When a logic high (greater than V
S
− 0.5 V) is applied, the device is turned off and the supply
current goes to nearly zero (ground and internal reference mode less than 1 µA, supply reference
mode V
S
divided by 100 kΩ).
Device Ground Pin.
By placing a capacitor between this pin and VPOS, the corner frequency of the modulation filter is
lowered. The on-chip filter is formed with 27 pF||2 kΩ for small input signals.
Output Pin. Near rail-to-rail voltage output with limited current drive capabilities. Expected load
>10 kΩ to ground.
Supply Reference Control Pin. To enable supply reference mode, this pin must be connected to VPOS;
otherwise, it should be connected to COMM (ground).
