PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
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 operation, and for additional applications requiring voltage inputs.

APPLICATIONS
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, attenuators, 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 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 currentrange 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.

The ADL5310 addresses a wide variety of interfacing conditions
to meet the needs of fiber optic supervisory systems and is
useful in many nonoptical applications. These notes explain the

THEORY
The base-emitter voltage of a bipolar junction transistor (BJT)
can be expressed by Equation 1, which immediately shows its
basic logarithmic nature:
VBE = kT/q ln(IC/IS)
where:
IC is the collector current.
IS is a scaling current, typically only 10–17 A.
kT/q is the thermal voltage, proportional to absolute
temperature (PTAT), and is 25.85 mV at 300 K.
IS is never precisely defined and exhibits an even stronger temperature dependence, varying by a factor of roughly a billion
between −35°C and +85°C. Thus, to make use of the BJT as an
accurate logarithmic element, both of these temperature
dependencies must be eliminated.
The difference between the base-emitter voltages of a matched
pair of BJTs, one operating at the photodiode current IPD and the
other operating at a reference current IREF, can be written as
VBE1 – VBE2 = kT/q ln(IPD/IS) – kT/q ln(IREF/IS)
= ln(10) kT/q log10(IPD/IREF)
= 59.5 mV log10(IPD/IREF) (T = 300 K)
Figure 33. Simplified Schematic of Single Log Amp
The photodiode current IPD is received at either Pin INP1 or
Pin INP2. The voltages at these nodes are approximately equal
to the voltage on the adjacent guard pins, VSUM, as well as
reference inputs IRF1 and IRF2, due to the low offset voltage
of the JFET operational amplifiers. Transistor Q1 converts IPD
to a corresponding logarithmic voltage, as shown in Equation 1.
A finite positive value of VSUM is needed to bias the collector of
Q1 for the usual case of a single-supply voltage. This is internally set to 0.5 V, one-fifth of the 2.5 V reference voltage that
appears on Pin VREF. Both VREF pins are internally shorted,
as are both VSUM pins. The resistance at the VSUM pin is
nominally 16 kΩ; this voltage is not intended as a general bias
source.
The ADL5310 also supports the use of an optional negative
supply voltage, VN, at Pin VNEG. When VN is 0.5 V or more
negative, VSUM may be connected to ground; thus, INP1, INP2,
IRF1, and IRF2 assume this potential. This allows operation as a
voltage-input logarithmic converter by the inclusion of a series
resistor at either or both inputs. Note that the resistor setting IREF
for each channel needs to be adjusted to maintain the intercept
value. Also note that the collector-emitter voltages of Q1 and Q2
are the full VN and effects due to self-heating cause errors at
large input currents.
The input-dependent VBE1 of Q1 is compared with the reference
VBE2 of a second transistor, Q2, operating at IREF. IREF is generated externally to a recommended value of 3 µA. However, other
values over a several-decade range can be used with a slight
degradation in law conformance.
(1)
(2)
The uncertain, temperature-dependent saturation current, IS,
that appears in Equation 1 has therefore been eliminated. To
eliminate the temperature variation of kT/q, this difference
voltage is processed by what is essentially an analog divider.
Effectively, it puts a variable under Equation 2. The output of
this process, which also involves a conversion from voltage
mode to current mode, is an intermediate, temperaturecorrected current:
ILOG = IY log10(IPD/IREF)
(3)
where IY is an accurate, temperature-stable scaling current that
determines the slope of the function (change in current per
decade). For the ADL5310, IY is 44 µA, resulting in a
temperature-independent slope of 44 µA/decade for all values
of IPD and IREF. This current is subsequently converted back to a
voltage-mode output, VLOG, scaled 200 mV/decade.
It is apparent that this output should be 0 for IPD = IREF and
would need to swing negative for smaller values of input
current. To avoid this, IREF would need to be as small as the
smallest value of IPD. Accordingly, an offset voltage is added to
VLOG to shift it upward by 0.8 V when VRDZ is directly
connected to VREF. This moves the intercept to the left by four
decades (at 200 mV/decade), from 3 μA to 300 pA:
ILOG = IY log10(IPD/IINTC)
(4)
where IINTC is the operational value of the intercept current.
Because values of IPD < IINTC result in a negative VLOG, a negative
supply of sufficient value is required to accommodate this
situation.
Rev. A | Page 11 of 20
ADL5310
The voltage VLOG is generated by applying ILOG to an internal
resistance of 4.55 kΩ, formed by the parallel combination of a
6.69 kΩ resistor to ground and a 14.2 kΩ resistor to Pin VRDZ
(typically tied to the 2.5 V reference, VREF). At the LOG1
(LOG2) pin, the output current ILOG generates a voltage of
VLOG = ILOG × 4.55 kΩ
= 44 µA × 4.55 kΩ × log10(IPD/IINTC)
= VY log10(IPD/IINTC)
(5)
where VY = 200 mV/decade or 10 mV/dB. Note that any resistive loading on LOG1 (LOG2) lowers this slope and results in
an overall scaling uncertainty. This is due to the variability of
the on-chip resistors compared to the off-chip load. As a consequence, this practice is not recommended.
Thus, the effective intercept current IINTC is only one tenthousandth of IREF, corresponding to 300 pA when using the
recommended value of IREF = 3 µA.
The slope can be reduced by attaching a resistor between the log
amp output pin, LOG1 or LOG2, and ground. This is strongly
discouraged given that the on-chip resistors do not ratio
correctly to the added resistance. Also, it is rare that one would
wish to lower the basic slope of 10 mV/dB; if this is needed, it
should be effected at the low impedance output of the buffer
amps, which are provided to avoid such miscalibration and to
allow higher slopes to be used.
VLOG may also swing below ground when dual supplies (VP and
VN) are used. When VN = −0.5 V or larger, the input Pins INP1
(INP2) and IRF1 (INP2) may be positioned at ground level
simply by grounding VSUM. Care must be taken to limit the
power consumed by the input BJT devices when using a larger
negative supply, because self-heating degrades the accuracy at
higher currents.
Each of the ADL5310’s buffers is essentially an uncommitted
operational amplifier with rail-to-rail output swing, good loaddriving capabilities, and a typical unity-gain bandwidth of
15 MHz. In addition to allowing the introduction of gain, using
standard feedback networks and thereby increasing the slope
voltage VY, the buffer can be used to implement multipole, lowpass filters, threshold detectors, and a variety of other functions.
Further details on these applications can be found in the
AD8304 data sheet.
MANAGING INTERCEPT AND SLOPE
RESPONSE TIME AND NOISE CONSIDERATIONS
When using a single supply, VRDZ should be directly connected
to VREF to allow operation over the entire 6-decade input
current range. As noted in the Theory section, this introduces
an accurate offset voltage of 0.8 V at the LOG1 and LOG2 pins,
equivalent to four decades, resulting in a logarithmic transfer
function that can be written as
The response time and output noise of the ADL5310 are fundamentally a function of the signal current, IPD. For small currents,
the bandwidth is proportional to IPD, as shown in Figure 15. The
output low frequency voltage-noise spectral-density is a
function of IPD (see Figure 17) and also increases for small
values of IREF. Details of the noise and bandwidth performance
of translinear log amps can be found in the AD8304 data sheet.

Figure 34. Basic Connections for Fixed Intercept Use
The ADL5310 is easy to use in optical supervisory systems
and in similar situations where a wide-ranging current is to
be converted to its logarithmic equivalent—that is, represented
in decibel terms. Basic connections for measuring a single
current at each input are shown in Figure 34, which also
includes various nonessential components, as explained next.
The 2 V difference in voltage between the VREF and Input Pins
INP1 and INP2, in conjunction with the external 665 kΩ resistors RRF1 and RRF2, provides 3 µA reference currents IRF1 and IRF2
into Pins IRF1 and IRF2. Connecting VRDZ to VREF raises the
voltage at LOG1 and LOG2 by 0.8 V, effectively lowering each
intercept current IINTC by a factor of 104 to position it at 300 pA.
A wide range of other values for IREF, from 3 nA to 3 mA, may be
used. The effect of such changes is shown in Figure 5 and
Figure 8.
Any temperature variation in RRF1 (RRF2) must be taken into
account when estimating the stability of the intercept. Also, the
overall noise increases when using very low values of IRF1 (IRF2).
In fixed-intercept applications there is little benefit in using a
large reference current, because doing so only compresses the
low-current-end of the dynamic range when operated from a
single supply. The capacitor between VSUM and ground is
strongly recommended to minimize the noise on this node, to
reduce channel-to-channel crosstalk, and to help provide clean
reference currents.
In addition, each input and reference pin (INP1, INP2, IRF1,
and IRF2) has a compensation network made up of a series
resistor and capacitor. The junction capacitance of the photodiode along with the network capacitance of the board artwork
around the input system creates a pole that varies widely with
input current. The RC network stabilizes the system by simultaneously reducing this pole frequency and inserting a zero to
compensate an additional pole inherent in the input system. In
general, the 1 nF, 1 kΩ network handles almost any photodiode
interface. In situations where larger active area photodiodes are
used, or when long input traces are used, the capacitor value
may need to be increased to ensure stability. Although the signal
and reference input systems are similar, additional care is
required to ensure stable operation of the reference inputs at
temperature extremes across the full current range of IRF1 (IRF2).
It is recommended that filter components of 4.7 nF and 2 kΩ
should be used from Pin IRF1 (IRF2) to ground. Temperaturestable components should always be used in critical locations
such as the compensation networks; Y5V-type chip capacitors
are to be avoided due to their poor temperature stability.
Rev. A | Page 13 of 20
ADL5310
The optional capacitor from LOG1 (LOG2) to ground forms a
single-pole, low-pass filter in combination with the 5 kΩ resistance at this pin. For example, when using a CFLT of 10 nF, the
3 dB corner frequency is 3.2 kHz. Such filtering is useful in
minimizing the output noise, particularly when IPD is small.
Multipole filters are more effective in reducing the total noise;
examples are provided in the AD8304 data sheet.
Because the basic scaling at LOG1 (LOG2) is 0.2 V/decade,
and thus a 4 V swing at the buffer output would correspond to
20 decades, it is often useful to raise the slope to make better use
of the rail-to-rail voltage range. For illustrative purposes, both
channels in Figure 34 provide a 0.5 V/decade overall slope
(25 mV/dB). Thus, using IREF = 3 μA, VLOG runs from 0.2 V at
IPD = 3 nA to 1.4 V at IPD = 3 mA; the buffer output runs from
0.5 V to 3.5 V, corresponding to a dynamic range of 120 dB
(electrical, that is, 60 dB optical power).
Further information on adjusting the slope and intercept, using
a negative supply, and additional operations can be found in the
AD8305 data sheet.
CALIBRATION
Each channel of the ADL5310 has a nominal slope and intercept
at LOG1 (LOG2) of 200 mV/decade and 300 pA, respectively,
when configured as shown in Figure 34. These values are
untrimmed and the slope alone may vary by as much as 7.5%
over temperature. For this reason, it is recommended that a
simple calibration be done to achieve increased accuracy. While
the ADL5310 offers improved slope and intercept matching
compared to a randomly selected pair of AD8305 log amps, the
specified accuracy can only be achieved by calibrating each
channel individually.

Figure 35. Using 2-Point Calibration to Increase Measurement Accuracy
Figure 35 shows the improvement in accuracy when using a 2point calibration method. To perform this calibration,
apply two known currents, I1 and I2, in the linear operating
range between 10 nA and 1 mA. Measure the resulting output,
V1 and V2, respectively, and calculate the slope m and the
intercept b:
m = (V1 – V2)/[log10(I1) – log10(I2)]
(7)
b = V1 – m × log10(I1)
(8)
The same calibration could be performed with two known
optical powers, P1 and P2. This allows for calibration of the
entire measurement system while providing a simplified
relationship between the incident optical power and VLOG
voltage:
m = (V1 – V2)/(P1 – P2)
b = V1 – m × P1
(9)
(10)
The uncalibrated error line in Figure 35 was generated assuming that the slope of the measured output was 200 mV/decade
when in fact it was actually 194 mV/decade. Correcting for this
discrepancy decreased measurement error up to 3 dB.
MINIMIZING CROSSTALK
Combining two high-dynamic-range logarithmic converters in
one IC carries potential pitfalls concerning channel-to-channel
isolation. Special care must be taken in several areas to ensure
acceptable crosstalk performance, particularly when one or both
channels may operate at very low input currents. Fastidious supply bypassing—also necessary for overall stability—and careful
board layout are important first steps for minimizing crosstalk.
While the shared bias circuitry improves channel-to-channel
matching and reduces power consumption, it is also a source of
crosstalk that must be mitigated. The VSUM pins, which are
internally shorted, should be bypassed with at least 1 nF to
ground, and 20 nF is recommended for operation at the lowest
currents (<30 nA). VSUM is of particular importance because it
acts as a reference voltage input for each input system, but
without the bandwidth limitation at low currents that the
primary inputs incur. Disturbances at the VSUM pin that are
well within the bandwidth of the input are tracked by the loop
and do not generate disturbances at the output (aside from the
generally minor perturbation in reference currents caused by
voltage variations at IRF1 and IRF2).
For this reason, the pole frequency at VSUM, which has a 16 kΩ
typical source resistance, should be set below the minimum
input system bandwidth for the lowest input current to be
encountered. Because the low frequency noise at VSUM is also
tracked by the loop within its available bandwidth, this is also a
criterion for reducing the noise contribution at the output from
the thermal noise of the 16 kΩ source resistance at VSUM.
Rev. A | Page 14 of 20
ADL5310
A 10 nF capacitor on each VSUM pin (20 nF parallel equivalent)
combined with the 16 kΩ source resistance yields a 500 Hz pole,
which is sufficiently below the bandwidth for the minimum
input current of 3 nA.
Residual crosstalk disturbance is particularly problematic at the
lowest currents for two reasons. First, the loop is unable to reject
summing node disturbances beyond the limited bandwidth.
Second, the settling response at the lowest currents to any
residual disturbance is significantly slower than that for input
currents even one or two decades higher (see Figure 18).
relative gain or absorbance measurement. A more straightforward analog implementation includes the use of a current
mirror, as shown in Figure 37. The current mirror is used to
feed an opposite polarity replica of the cathode photocurrent of
PD2 into Channel 2 of the ADL5310. This allows one channel to
be used as an absolute power meter for the optical signal
incident on PD2, while the opposite channel is used to directly
compute the log ratio of the two input signals.

Figure 37. Absolute and Relative Power Measurement Application
Using Modified Wilson Current Mirror
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE POWER
MEASUREMENTS
When properly calibrated, the ADL5310 provides two independent channels capable of accurate absolute optical power
measurements. Often, it is desirable to measure the relative
gain or absorbance across an optical network element, such as
an optical amplifier or variable attenuator. If each channel has
identical logarithmic slopes and intercepts, this can easily be
done by differencing the output signals of each channel. In
reality, channel mismatch can result in significant errors over a
wide range of input levels if left uncompensated. Postprocessing
of the signal can be used to account for individual channel
characteristics. This requires a simple calculation of the
expected input level for a measured log voltage, followed by
differencing of the two signal levels in the digital domain for a
The presented current mirror is a modified Wilson mirror.
Other current mirror implementations would also work, though
the modified Wilson mirror provides fairly constant performance over temperature. It is essential to use matched pair
transistors when designing the current mirror to minimize the
effects of temperature gradients and beta mismatch.
Rev. A | Page 15 of 20
ADL5310
The solution in Figure 37 is no longer subject to potential
channel mismatch issues. Individual channel slope and intercept
characteristics can be calibrated independently. The accuracy
was verified using a pair of calibrated current sources. The
performance of the circuit depicted in Figure 37 is shown in
Figure 38 and Figure 39. Multiple transfer functions and error
plots are provided for various power levels. The accuracy is
better than 0.1 dB over a 5-decade range. The dynamic range is
slightly reduced for strong IIN input currents. This is due to the
limited available swing of the VLOG pin and can be recovered
through careful selection of input and output optical tap
coupling ratios.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V)
During the characterization of the ADL5310, the device was
treated as a precision current-input logarithmic converter,
because it is impractical to generate accurate photocurrents by
illuminating a photodiode. The test currents were generated by
using either a well-calibrated current source, such as the
Keithley 236, or a high value resistor from a voltage source to
the input pin. Great care is needed when using very small input
currents. For example, the triax output connection from the
current generator was used with the guard tied to VSUM. The
input trace on the PC board was guarded by connecting
adjacent traces to VSUM.
These measures are needed to minimize the risk of leakage
current paths. With 0.5 V as the nominal bias on the INP1
(INP2) pin, a leakage-path resistance of 1 GΩ to ground would
subtract 0.5 nA from the input, which amounts to a −1.6 dB
error for a 3 nA source current. Additionally, the very high
sensitivity at the input pins and the long cables commonly
needed during characterization allow 60 Hz and RF emissions
to introduce substantial measurement errors. Careful guarding
techniques are essential to reducing the pickup of these spurious
signals.

EVALUATION BOARD
An evaluation board is available for the ADL5310 (Figure 40 shows the schematic). It can be configured for a wide variety of experiments.
The gain of each buffer amp is factory-set to unity, providing a slope of 200 mV/dec, and the intercept is set to 300 pA. Table 4 describes
the various configuration options.

Function
Supply Interface. Provides access to the Supply Pins VNEG, COMM, and
VPOS.
Monitor Interface. By adding 0 Ω resistors to R1, R3, R8, R9, R17, R22, and
R25, the VRDZ, VREF, VSUM, BIN1, BIN2, OUT1, and OUT2 pin voltages
can be monitored using a high impedance probe. VBIAS allows for the
external bias voltages to be applied to J1 and J2. If R30 = 0 Ω,
VBIAS = VREF.
Buffer Amplifier/Output Interface. The logarithmic slopes of the ADL5310
can be altered using each buffer’s gain-setting resistors, R5 and R6, and
R18 and R19. R7, R16, R31, R32, C19, and C20 allow for variation in the
buffer loading. R20, R21, C4, C14, C15, and C16 are provided for a variety
of filtering applications.
Intercept Adjustment. The voltage dropped across Resistors R28 and R29
determines the intercept reference current for each log amp, nominally
set to 3 µA using a 665 kΩ 1% resistor. R2 can be used to adjust the
output offset voltage at the LOG1 and LOG2 outputs.
Supply Decoupling.

Input Compensation. Provides essential HF compensation at the Input
Pins INP1, INP2, IRF1, and IRF2.
IREF, INPT
Input Interface. The test board is configured to accept current through the
SMA connectors labeled INP1 and INP2. Through-holes are provided to
connect photodiodes in place of the INP1 and INP2 SMAs for optical
interfacing. By removing R28 (R29 for INP2), a second current can be
applied to the IRF1 (IRF2 for INP2) input (also SMA) for evaluating the
ADL5310 in log ratio applications.
SC-Style Photodiode. Provides for the direct mounting of SC-style
photodiodes.
