LT5581 6GHz RMS Power Detector with 40dB Dynamic Range FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Frequency Range: 10MHz to 6GHz The LT®5581 is a 10MHz to 6GHz, low power monolithic n Accurate Power Measurement of High Crest Factor precision RMS power detector. The RMS detector uses a (Up to 12dB) Waveforms proprietary technique to accurately measure the RF power n 40dB Log Linear Dynamic Range from –34dBm to +6dBm (at 2.14GHz) of modulated signals n Exceptional Accuracy Over Temperature with a crest factor as high as 12dB. It outputs a DC voltage n Fast Response Time: 1μs Rise, 8μs Fall in linear scale proportional to an RF input signal power n Low Power: 1.4mA at 3.3V in dBm. The LT5581 is suitable for precision power mea- n Log-Linear DC Output vs Input RF Power in dBm surement and control for a wide variety of RF standards, n Small 3mm × 2mm 8-Pin DFN Package including GSM/EDGE, CDMA, CDMA2000, W-CDMA, n Single-Ended RF Input TD-SCDMA, UMTS, LTE and WiMAX, etc. The final DC out- put is connected in series with an on-chip 300Ω resistor, which enables further filtering of the output modulation APPLICATIONS ripple with just a single off-chip capacitor. n GSM/EDGE, CMDA, CDMA2000, W-CDMA, LTE, L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear WiMAX RF Power Control Technology Corporation.
