Analog Devices AD8318 Product Handbook Rev B
The AD8318 is a demodulating logarithmic amplifier covering 1 MHz to 8 GHz with a 70 dB dynamic range and low‑noise output. It offers single‑supply operation at 5 V, a power‑down mode under 1.5 mW, and an integrated temperature sensor for system monitoring.
The handbook includes functional block diagrams, pin configuration, absolute maximum ratings, typical performance curves, and an ordering guide for the 16‑lead LFCSP package. It also details controller mode operation, measurement mode settings, and temperature compensation features.
