LTC5509 300MHz to 3GHz RF Power Detector in SC70 Package UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ Temperature Compensated Internal Schottky Diode The LTC®5509 is an RF power detector for RF applications RF Detector operating in the 300MHz to 3GHz range. A temperature ■ Wide Input Frequency Range: 300MHz to 3GHz compensated Schottky diode peak detector and buffer ■ Wide Input Power Range: –30dBm to 6dBm amplifier are combined in a small SC70 package. The ■ Buffered Detector Output supply voltage range is optimized for operation from a ■ Wide VCC Range of 2.7V to 6V single lithium-ion cell or 3xNiMH. ■ Low Operating Current: 600µA The RF input voltage is peak detected using an on-chip ■ Low Shutdown Current: <2µA Schottky diode. The detected voltage is buffered and ■ SC70 Package supplied to the VOUT pin without gain compression. Con- sequently, the output voltage is linearly proportional to the UAPPLICATIO S RF input voltage. A power saving shutdown mode reduces supply current to less than 2µA. ■ Multimode Mobile Phone Products ■ Optical Data Links The LTC5509 operates with input power levels from ■ Wireless Data Modems –30dBm to 6dBm. ■ Wireless and Cable Infrastructure , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation. ■ RF Power Alarm ■ Envelope Detector UTYPICAL APPLICATIOOutput Voltage vs RF Input Power 3000 VCC = 3.6V TA = 25°C 300MHz to 3GHz RF Power Detector 2500 850MHz 1.85GHz 33pF 2000 LTC5509 6 RF 4 V 3GHz RF CC V IN CC INPUT 1500 2 5 100pF 0.1µF GND GND 1000 1 3 OUTPUT VOLTAGE (mV) V DISABLE ENABLE SHDN OUT VOUT OUT 5509 TA01 V 500 0 –30 –25 –20 –15 –10 –5 0 5 10 RF INPUT POWER (dBm) 5509 TA02 5509f 1
