LTC5597 100MHz to 70GHz Linear-in-dB RMS Power Detector with 35dB Dynamic Range FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Ultra Wide Matched Input Frequency Range: The LTC®5597 is a high accuracy RMS power detector that 100MHz to 70GHz provides a very wide RF input bandwidth, from 100MHz n 35dB Linear Dynamic Range (< ±1dB Error) up to 70GHz. This makes the device suitable for a wide n 28.5mV/dB Logarithmic Slope range of RF and microwave applications, such as point- n ±2dB Flat Response from 100MHz to 60GHz to-point microwave links, instrumentation and power n Accurate RMS Power Measurement of High Crest control applications. Factors (Up to 12dB) Modulated Waveforms The DC output voltage of the detector is an accurate n Low Power Shutdown Mode representation of the average signal power applied to the n Low Supply Current: 33mA at 3.3V (Typical) RF input. The response is linear-in-dB with 28.5mV/dB n Small 2mm × 2mm Plastic DFN8 Package logarithmic slope over a 35dB dynamic range with typically n I-Grade: −40°C to 105°C Rated better than ±1dB accuracy. The detector is particularly H-Grade: −40°C to 125°C Rated suited for measurement of waveforms with crest factor with Guaranteed Log-Slope and Log-Intercept (CF) as high as 12dB, and waveforms that exhibit a sig- n ESD Rating: 2500V HBM, 1500V CDM nificant variation of the crest factor during measurement.
