SL523

The SL523B and C are wideband amplifiers for use insuccessive detection logarithmic IF strips operating at centrefrequencies between 10 and 100MHz They are pincompatible with the SL521 series of logarithmic amplifiers andcomprise two amplifiers internally connected in cascadeSmall signal voltage gain is 24dB and an internal detector withan accurate logarithmic characteristic over a 20dB rangeproduces a maximum Output of 2.1 mA. A strip of SL523s canbe directly coupled and decoupling is provided on eachamplifier RF limiting occurs at an input voltage of 25mV RMSbut the device will withstand input voltages up to 1 8V RMSwithout damage

The device SL523 is also available as the 5962-89803 which hasguaranteed operation over the full Military TemperatureRange and is screened to MIL-STD-883 Class B. Data isavailable separately.
