5962-9864601QEA

Overview

The AD8306AR-REEL7 is a high-precision limiting-logarithmic amplifier manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It provides an accurate logarithmic measure of input signal strength over a dynamic range of 100 dB, spanning from -91 dBV to +9 dBV. The device operates within a frequency range of 5 MHz to 400 MHz and features a stable RSSI scaling slope of 20 mV/dB with an intercept of -95 dBm. It requires a single supply voltage between 2.7 V and 6.5 V, drawing a typical quiescent current of 16 mA.

Feature Summary

• Provides fully calibrated logarithmic amplification with a 100 dB dynamic range for precise signal measurement.
• Features a programmable limiter output stage capable of handling frequencies up to 400 MHz.
• Maintains stable RSSI scaling parameters across varying temperatures and supply voltages.
• Includes a CMOS-compatible control interface for rapid power-up and low-power standby modes.

Applications

• Receiver Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) systems
• Very wide range IF and RF power measurement
• Low cost radar and sonar signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix REEL7 indicates 7-inch tape and reel packaging when sourcing this component. Confirm that the part number corresponds to the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Ensure compatibility with SOIC-16 surface mount assembly processes during procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide dynamic range logarithmic response is required for intermediate frequency or radio frequency signals. Consider the 16 mA supply current and single-supply operation constraints. Evaluate the need for the integrated limiter function versus using only the RSSI output for system optimization.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AD8306 series of limiting-logarithmic amplifiers. It is distinct from military-grade variants such as the 5962-9864601QEA, which utilizes a ceramic DIP package and supports a wider temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The AR-REEL7 designation specifies the industrial grade silicon-on-insulator bipolar process implementation.
