LOG300RGTR

Texas Instruments · Special Purpose Amplifiers · VQFN-16(3x3)

LOG300RGTR from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-16(3x3). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VCC power_in Supply pin; recommended supply voltage is 3 V to 5.25 V, with an absolute maximum supply voltage of 5.5 V.
2 Log_Out output Unbuffered output of the Log Detector block; connect a resistor RF to set the input-to-output slope and a capacitor CF to set the response time.
3 Ref_Res input Connect a 1% 56 kΩ resistor to this pin; float it if the default relaxed slope accuracy is acceptable.
4 Freq_Supply power_in Power supply for the Freq_Out function; float this pin if the frequency-detection feature is not required.
5 Freq_Out output Output that toggles at the same signal frequency applied at Log_In.
6 Inv_Buffer output Inverted buffered output, with VInv_Buffer = VCC - VLog_Out × 2.
7 Buffer output Noninverting buffered output, with VBuffer = VLog_Out × 2.
8 Log_Inm input Inverting input of the Log Detector block; connect an appropriate capacitor to ground when used with a single-ended input.
9 Log_Inp input Noninverting input of the Log Detector block.
10 AGND power_in Analog ground for the LNA and Log Detector block.
11 LNA_Out output Low-noise amplifier output.
12 Offset_Cap input Connect a recommended capacitor from this pin to ground; it sets the pole of the internal offset correction loop.
13 LNA_In input Low-noise amplifier input; the absolute maximum LNA input voltage is ±1 VP.
14 AFE_En input LNA and Log Detector block enable and disable pin; High enables the AFE, and floating keeps both blocks enabled.
15 DGND power_in Digital ground for the Freq_Out pin.
16 LNA_En input Low-noise amplifier enable and disable pin; High enables the LNA, and floating keeps the LNA enabled.
17 Thermal Pad passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
