The SDLVAC-0120-70M from Planar Monolithics Industries is a Miniature Successive Detection Log Video Amplifier that operates from 0.1 to 2 GHz. It has a dynamic range from 65-70 dB, a TSS (Tangential signal sensitivity) of -67 dBm, and a nominal video bandwidth of 20 MHz. This video amplifier has a log slope of 25 mV/dB and a fast rise time of 20 ns with a delay time of 8 ns. It can handle an input power of up to 10 dBm and has a VSWR of less than 1.8:1. The log video amplifier requires a DC supply from -5 to +5 V and consumes up to 170 mA of current. It is designed using GaAs technology that provides excellent performance and reliability. This log video amplifier is available in a module that measures 0.395 x 0.280 x 0.090 inches and is ideal for high speed channelized receiver applications.
