Detailed Design Procedure

The LOG300 supports a 5V VCC. Add a 10Ω and 10µF || 10nF close to the VCC pin to provide sufficient decoupling and immunity from external noise. This supply filter has a pole of 1.59kHz that is sufficiently less than the frequency of interest, which is 1MHz.

The absolute maximum voltage rating of pin LNA_In is ±1V. Add a back-to-back diode along with a series resistor (RS) at the input of the LNA (see also Figure 8-1). The back-to-back diode protects the LNA_In pin from being exposed to any high voltages, especially during the transmit operation. Choose the series resistance value in accordance to the maximum power rating (PMAX) of the back-to-back diode. The added series resistor contributes to the input noise and deteriorates the minimum input sensitivity.

Equation 2. R s   =   ( 0.7 V   ×   ( V m a x   -   0.7 V ) ) P m a x

The maximum expected output voltage of the LNA with a back-to-back diode placed at the input is:

Equation 3. 11 V/V   ×   0.7 V P   =   7.7 V P  

Since the LNA is only powered from a 5V supply; the maximum output is only 2.5VP.

The maximum input for the Log_Inp pin is 1.7VP for 5VCC (see also Section 5.1); therefore, add a band-pass filter (BPF) of appropriate attenuation in the pass-band region so that the detector block absolute maximum voltage rating is not violated. In this particular case, ensure that the BPF has an attenuation of at least −3.3dB. A BPF of −4.3dB is shown in Figure 8-1.

Choose an Offset_Cap value based on Section 7.3.1.

Choose the value of CF based on the required rise time of the Log_Out pin voltage (VLog_Out). A lower-value CF improves the rise time at the cost of higher ripple on the output envelope. For reference plots see also Section 5.8. Connect an oscilloscope at the Log_Out pin, triggered during the receive burst operation, to find the correct balance between the required rise time and the acceptable ripple.

The RF resistor decides the input-to-output slope. The value of RF in kΩ equals the input-to-output slope in mV/dB. In this example, calculate RF using the below set of equations:

Equation 4. S l o p e   m V / d B   =   R F   k   =   ( S a t u r a t e d   o u t p u t   v o l t a g e   -   M i n i m u m   o u t p u t   v o l t a g e ) ( 20   x   l o g   ( M a x i m u m   L N A _ I n   -   M i n i m u m   L N A _ I n ) )  
Equation 5. S l o p e   mV/dB   =   ( 4.5 V     0.5 V ) ( 20   ×   l o g   ( 200 m V   -   6 µ V ) )
Equation 6. Slope (mV/dB) = 44mV/dB hence use RF k = 44k 
Note: The maximum and minimum Log_Out values have been relaxed to design for the output to operate well within the linear range.

The voltage measured at Log_Out can be traced back to calculate the input amplitude using the below equation:

Equation 7. Log_OutA= Slope x (Log_InALog_InB)+ Log_OutB
Equation 8. Log_InA=   (Log_OutA - Log_OutBSlope x Log_InB)

Where : A stands for values of Log_Out and Log_In at the required measurement point and B stands for Log_Out and Log_In values at a known input value measured during factory calibration or production.
